Ky's POV:

Snuggled down into Newt's embrace, I feel at home. He's the closest thing to home right now that I have. I could never bear to lose him.

I roll slightly to shift my good hand out from underneath me and accidentally nudge Newt's left ankle. He yells and sits up, grabbing his injured leg. This sends me tumbling off the side of the bed and onto the floor. I yelp as my shoulder slams into the ground, which causes my elbow to start throbbing again. He looks down at me, on the floor, wide-eyed, still holding on to his injured ankle.

"Oh, Ky! I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" he asks, forgetting his ankle.

"Yeah, I'm fine Newt", I say, rolling my eyes and barely managing to not wince. "I fell like...a foot. I'm okay."

He laughs shortly.

"Sorry, it's just.....after what happened..." his goofy grin fades away, leaving a pained expression on his handsome face.

I get up and sit next to him again.

"What did happen?" I ask. "You never told me."

Newt's frown deepens and a shadow passed over his face.

"Well...I hated seeing you in pain...and I was tired of living here in this hell hole. I probably had a great life back home. Wherever that is. But the Creators took care of that. They took everything from me. From us. We don't deserve this. I was tired of running every day, with no results. I was tired of fighting a fight I knew I couldn't win. So I gave up. I was tired of life beating me up and dragging me down...so I tried to end it. I'm sorry", Newt says quietly.

My eyes widen a little and I get chills that creep across my body like spiders.

"Newt...you tried to kill yourself?" I ask, shocked. A lump forms in my throat.

He nods sullenly. I just sit there speechless.

"I'm..I'm sorry. It was selfish of me", he says.

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. He thinks I'm mad at him, I realize with a start. I place my hand under his chin and lift his face so he is looking me in the eye.

I look deep into his eyes and see so much pain and hurt. I see so much frustration and anger and so many other negative emotions, swirling around in the dark, brown, beautiful depths of his forever eyes.

I lean forward and kiss him. Our lips crash together like waves. Fireworks go off and our lips dance in harmony to the music we are making. I smile into the kiss.

We part and I look him in the eye again.

"Newt. I love you. You are the only one for me and I will ALWAYS be here for you. No matter what. You're not alone."

Then, I stand up before Newt can say anything, and I leave, our kiss still playing in my mind.
