(Thomas POV)

"Where the hell are they?" I groan "I've called them all but no response!"
"There's probably no service out here," Brenda sighs "Let's just wait,"

We sit down,legs crossed as we look out.

"Ben's gonna stop,maybe he might have all ready," she smiles "Then we'll get to senior year in after our exams."
"It we take them." I mumble "I doubt I stand a chance."
"You'll pass Tom. You're smart."
"Not like Newt."
"Maybe,but you're a hero. Bravery is just like wisdom,remember that."
"Just as long as me doesn't get hurt.." I whisper as my phone starts to ring. No caller ID,I raise my brow "What is this number?"

I pick it up.

"They've been hit," a voice smirks "All your friends. This is your punishment,"

(Newt POV)

I wake up with blood around me,I scramble up to see an ambulance. Sonya,Teresa and Minho being pulled from the wreckage. I get up and stumble around.

"Someone please help me!" I cry as I see my body being loaded in. I didn't understand. I run and sit myself in,stroking Sonya's hair as the tears stream down my face. No one seemed to recognise or even notice me. I just stay there until we pull up at the hospital. As our bodies are rushed in I run beside them,a limp holding me back.

"We need help now!" A medic yells.
"What's going on?" I demand as our bodies are rushed away. I pant and look around "Newt wake up!" I yell to myself as I smash my hands over my head "Wake up.."

I pace down the hospital as I run to the room where I see Teresa. She lies there completely silent,tubes attached to every part of her as I place my hand on the glass.

"You'll be okay," I whisper as I squeeze my eyes shut. Nothing works. I can't stop reality. I turn away and start to run as the tears stream down my face. The heart monitor machines beep in my ears as they suddenly stop. I choke on my tears and fall to the ground.

"I want it to be over!" I scream as I fall to my knees. Crawling back up as I hear a yell.

"Where are they? Tell me now!"

Tommy.

"Tommy?" I yell as I run to him. He doesn't see me. Just shoves past as he runs as quick as he can,followed by Brenda as they approach a hall. Brenda splits off as he walks into one. I see the sight and almost collapse at it.  There was a small tube up my nostrils with cuts on my pale face,my eyes were closed and I was wearing a hospital gown. I looked almost dead. I watch in pain as Tommy sits beside me,taking my hand.

"Newt,please.." He whispers "I'm so sorry. Just wake up. I need you to. Please,don't be dead. I refuse to believe you're going to die,I can't live without you. You're my own Newt,I loved you since the second I saw you,you know that. And I know,that with everyone gone.. Sonya,Minho and Teresa,it might be hard to keep fighting,but,I want you to live."

"They're not dead," I whisper as I walk so close behind him.
"I'll do anything to save you Newt. I'll give my life over yours. Just live."

"Tom!" Brenda runs into the room,skimming past me "Teresa's waking,"

He sprints out but I just stand there. Panting gently as I fall down,curling up into a ball and rocking heavily. This is all me,all my fault.

"I want it to stop!" I screech as I rake my hands through my hair,looking out the window for a few seconds then back as my mum runs in. Gasping as she starts to cry,she sits down beside my body and takes my hand. My dad runs in seconds later. They had divorced four years ago,never talked since that day. I stayed with mum.

"He'll be okay,Angela," he sighs and pats her shoulder. She doesn't move,just strokes my cheek,
"My little baby boy," she cries "I love you. Someone's hurt him Paul,they need to be found,they need to pay."

"It's me.." I whisper as I look down at the ring on my finger. Kissing it softly "It's all my fault. I remember everything I did. I almost killed someone. Tommy,now I know what my punishment is,I'll loose him. But Ben,of you're trying to hurt me,try harder."

I shake my head at this thought and run out,down to where Sonya and Minho are now in the same room.

"I think they're gonna pull through," the nurse smiles "The boy was arrested earlier for who we think committed the crime. We also think Teresa Agnes will make it."
"What about the other one?" The doctor asks "Newton I think his name was."

She gulps and looks down "I don't think so."

My eyes open wide as I clench my fists. Then why was I here,was I a ghost? Who cares. My friends were gonna be okay,that's all that mattered. I'm about to walk to lie beside Sonya when I hear Tommy's screams.

"I'm coming Tommy!" I yell as I sprint to where he is. I pant as I see him holding my body.

"You have to wake up," he whispers "We made a promise to stay together,to be okay. We will be. I love you,I love you so much and it's killing me."

"It's okay," I whisper as I lean against the door.

"Newt,death doesn't just happen to you it happens to everyone around you. If you die,I'll die too. So stop this,just don't be dead. Come on Newt,you're the one who always figures it out. Wake up. Now,wake up now!"

"I'm trying!" I yell as I shake and thrash on the stop as the heart monitors begin to beep heavily. The nurses run in and push Thomas out,I follow and watch into the glass as I see them. I see myself slightly moving. It's as if my life was flashing before my eyes. It felt in someways amazing.

"We're okay," Tommy wheezes out,clenching his fists which rest against the glass.
"I know baby," I whisper as I see Brenda pulling him back.
"Shhh... Tom,it's okay. He's okay,it's okay."
"It won't be until he wakes up!"
"He will. I'm gonna make a promise,he will. He will."

(Flashback-Third person POV-Newt and Thomas are 14 years old)

Newt and Thomas sit in Math,Newt scribbling down as Thomas sits there clueless playing with his calculator. Looking at Newt,very impressed with his boyfriend. He slowly reaches out and squeezes his hand under the table which Newt returns,a small smile forming on his pink lips.

"Newt," Thomas sighs "I really like you. You know that?"
"Of course I do,and I really like you too."
"Just answer this,why me?"

He just stays silent for a few seconds,placing his pen down as he turns to Thomas.

"You're handsome,fun. But mostly,you're strong. I don't even think you've noticed it yet. It's what makes you perfect."

Thomas blushes and kisses his hand as Newt looks back down. Biting his lip to hold in those three words he wanted to tell Thomas. He held them in,just incase.

He gets through the day until final period. Sitting on the single desks behind Thomas and loud Brenda. He sighs as he writes out some work for History class as Thomas and Brenda quietly talk.

"Why don't you take him out for his birthday?" She suggests "Like a concert."
"I don't think he'd like it Bren," Thomas says,his boyfriend too caught up in his studies to hear this.

"Oy you!"

Ben yells this,the school bully as he throws a crumpled up piece of paper on Thomas,then Brenda. Thomas rolls his eyes and picks them up,throwing them to the nearest bin.

"Everyday," Brenda growls "You want revenge too don't you?"
Thomas smirks and nods "You read my mind girl."
"Well.." She drums her fingers on the desk "Why don't we put dog poo through his locker?"
"That's not good enough. Hey Newt!"

"What?" He looks up.
"We need help,"
"The answer to first question is 1939,"
"No. Not that,a prank. On Ben,I call it revenge."
"Tommy,don't."
"Why not?"
"Because!" Newt's voice is loud but he lowers it as he looks down "I don't wanna loose you,or watch you get hurt," his voice lowers even more "I can't loose you. Never. You're my everything."
