Chapter 15
The video is so shucking beautiful. But rn,I'm so sorry for the Newtmas feels that this story will give right now. #TommyisNewtscomet
(Newt POV)
Tommy carries me up bridal style to my room,closing the door as he lies me down gently. Kissing me gently as I kiss him back.
"I can't believe this," he smiles and lies down beside me. Stroking my hand.
(Flashback-Third person POV-Newt and Thomas are fifteen)
Newt stands there pacing around the room as he quickly scribbles down an equation.
"Newt!" Winston calls as he walks in,he was one of the science geeks too. They sit back on the desk as they begin to look at the work.
"Tom said he was coming in about ten minutes," he tells me as I nod. Staying silent as he speaks again "He likes you a lot,doesn't he?"
A smile appears on my lips "I really hope so."
"I wish I had someone like that,"
"You will Winston. Just don't start doubting yourself now."
"Thanks Newt."
The door opens and Tommy enters,he came early. Newt skips over and kisses his cheek, waving goodbye to Winston as Tommy stops as he notices the equation board.
"What is that?" He mumbles.
"Nothing," Newt whispers as he pushes his boyfriend out gently,closing the door as Winston sighs,looking down as the door opens. Sonya stands there smiling.
"I thought I could help you," she smiles "With the equation."
"Yeah. That would be good,thanks," Winston replies
Sonya walks over as she begins to slowly analyse it.
"Did you and Newt do this?" She asks
"Yeah, well,Newt did most of it. But when Thomas came,he seemed quiet,like he didn't want him to know."
"It'll be okay,they're pretty good together."
"Yes they are."
After a few minutes they quickly solve the rest. Sonya beams of relief as her and Winston sit down,sharing the extremely small desk. She turns to him and bites her lip gently,pressing hers to Winston's as they softly reconnect. They move in sync for a few seconds as they pull away.
"It'll be okay," he smiles as she strokes his soft brown hair "I promise."
Newt and Thomas walk out and sit down in the dark. Thomas' arm holds Newt as they watch the stars.
"I'll always be here for you Newt," he whispers.
"Me too. Just watching the stars,"
"Or a comet. If we're lucky,it'll show us love."
Newt smiles as he begins to speak-"It was a comet. The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning. And when it went away, he waited his entire life for it to come back to him. It was more than just a comet because of what it brought to his life: direction, beauty, meaning. There are many who couldn't understand, and sometimes he walked among them. But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him, and his world would be whole again... And his belief in God and love and art would be re-awakened in his heart. The boy saw the comet and suddenly his life had meaning. Tommy you're that comet."
(Flashback over)
He nods and falls asleep. I kiss him gently as my phone rings,it's Sonya-
"Hello," I smile as I pick up.
"Newt?" She chokes out "Newt please.. I'm at the library. There's this guy,he's trying to kill me!"
"It's okay. I'm coming," I grab the car keys and run down the steps,driving quickly "Hold on Sonya!"
My phone beeps us as I run into school. I look around to see no one.
"Sonya?" I call as I hear someone. I whip around to see a boy,my age with jet black hair and hazel eyes. He just smirks as he walks towards me.
"You just wanted to save her?" He laughs as he circles around me. I felt so small,so frozen,like I couldn't even move "Well Newt,you're not a hero. You're a useless little shit."
"Shut up," I whisper as he grabs my neck. Squeezing onto it tightly.
"Why would I do that Newtie?"
He lifts me up and throws me against a wall,I scream out in pain as I begin to run. I climb up a shelf but he's quick after me.
"Stop it!" I yell.
"I'm going to kill everyone you love. I'm going to kill Tommy," he hisses as I reach the top of the shelf. My heart racing as I see a heavy book,I pant and take it out. Throwing it at his head as he falls to the ground groaning in pain "You're going to die tonight!" He laughs as he shakes the shelf. Making me fall flat as he straddles me,pulling out a knife.
"Remember what you did with this knife Newt?" He smirks "I'm a friend of Ben's,and I'm here to do his dirty work."
I kick him down as I grab the knife. Plunging it deep into his chest as he chokes out blood,screaming out in pain as I fall down again,scrambling away as the tears stream down my face.
What had I just done?
I run outside as darkness hits me, I keep in running far away until my aching legs can't take it anymore. I fall to my knees and look up. Squeezing my eyes shut as I try to think of something,something to remind me that the world was okay again.
"I need Tommy. He'll believe me," I whisper as I rock back and forth. Thoughts popping into my mind as I remember something. I choke for air as I begin to speak again,my voice coming out like a broken record. It's okay,it'll be okay."
(Thomas POV)
I groan as I wake up and I see Newt's gone. I shake and look around as I see my phone,a text. It says it's from Newt.
'Meet me outside.'
What's he doing? I shake my head and walk out. But it's not Newt. It's a young girl,strawberry blonde hair curled as she walks to me.
"Who are you?" I ask,hands shaking.
"I can't say," she whispers "But I can say this,I was the one who texted you,"
"You took Newt's phone,pretending to be my best friend?"
"I don't think he'll be your best friend after this,"
"What are you talking about?" I demand,starting to get angry.
"I watched him. I watched Newt,kill an innocent person. I won't tell,"
"Why would he do that?"
"I don't know."
"Why should I believe you?"
"Because of this,"
She pulls out a large knife in visible packaging covered in blood. I shake my head as she hands me a photo. It's of Newt.
"The security cameras have shown me that he was there at the time of the murder," she tells me "Bur now the cops are there,he's gone. I came as soon as I heard the sirens and I found what they need to know. I had to tell someone. Thomas,you're in danger,Newt's working with Ben. I'm sorry."
I pant and wipe my eyes. This couldn't be true.
A text beeps through,from the real Newt this time-
'Hey Tommy!'
My hands tremble as I text back. It's like it wasn't him anymore
Hi
-T
You good?
-N
Fine.
-T
You don't sound it.
-N
Meet me outside Sonya's house
-N
I ignore the message and push past the girl. The rain spitting down heavily as she just simply walks away,I run there. Not being bothered to drive,I just walk there as I see Newt. He smiles as I shake my head,I watch as the heavy rain drips from his hair.
"Tommy?" He stutters as I stand there in silence,I just pull out the knife. I see his face drops "Where did you get that Tommy?"
"This is yours," I reply "Why didn't you tell me?'
"I was going to."
"Why didn't you tell me when it happened?"
"I couldn't."
"You killed him? Some innocent kid who we don't even know,"
"He was gonna kill the people I loved Tommy,was I supposed to just let him?"
"You weren't supposed to do this. None of us are,we're not like Ben,"
"You think I had a choice?" He demands.
"There's always a choice."
"I can't do what you can Tom!" He yells "Some of us aren't as smart as you. But at least we step up and show bloody bravery and guts from time to bloody time!"
"So you had to kill him?"
"Tommy,he was gonna kill you!"
"The way that it happened,there's a point where it's just not self defence anymore!"
"What are you even talking about?" He spits "I didn't have a choice Tommy! You don't even believe me do you?"
"I want to. You know that."
"Okay,so believe me then. Tom say you believe me. Say it,please Tommy please. Say you believe me."
I reject this.
"Newt you can't kill people who've done no wrong."
"Say you believe me," he repeats.
"You can't kill people. I believe that."
"What do I do about this? Tommy tell me how to fix this. Tell me what you want me to do,"
"Don't worry about Brenda,or Sonya,or Minho. Just,give us some space. Give me some space."
I whimper and turn away. It wasn't the same old Newt. Not at all.
