(Newt POV)

I sit there in the station,I had told the police everything I could.

"That's all I can say." I mutter.
"So it links to Ben you say?" He asks.
"Yes,my friends are also witness'. So you can talk to them. I wouldn't of hurt him unless it was crucial emergency. I know the code of these type of murderers. I can state his intentions were very clear,I could not escape and violence was my last resort,"
"You're brave coming forward," the cop smiles as I write my information down.
"Just make sure my friends are safe. Please. You'll try?"
"Of course I will Newton,"

I look at the cell "Want me to go in there?"
"I want to tell you about the boy. He had no family actually,none which we could find. We knew he had killed before. Newt,you're free to go. I'll contact you soon."

I walk out of the station as Teresa stands there smiling. She was still badly effected after the crash.

"You okay?" She smiles as I run to her,hugging her gently.
"I think so,"
"Tom said you might need someone,"
"He's right," I sigh as we begin to walk home.

(Thomas POV)

I sit there scribbling through History work.

"Tommy?" Newt's voice mutters. I turn round and smile,not even wanting to ask him how it went. I just smash his lips to mine as he lies on the bed. I run to the door and close it as I bring myself over him again,kissing his neck as he lifts up his arms so I can pull off his shirt. I do the same with mine,discarding them somewhere in the room.

"I love you so much," I whisper as I kiss down his chest.
"I know," he whispers as he pulls me back to him "I love you too," I nod rapidly and bite my lip as I cup his cheeks. He smiles and looks into my eyes "It's okay," he smiles.

The rain begins to pour as he kisses me again gently and pulls off mine then his' jeans. We curl under the bed,his head on my chest with my arms wrapped around him.

"When can we get a flat of our own?" I ask as I play with his hair.
"Soon," he mutters "We should probably get jobs first."
"Yeah."

He turns to me and just lays there as he strokes my cheeks.
"I'll love you forever Tom,"
"Me too Newt,"

(Newt POV)

"I'm going to see Ben," I tell him clearly.
"What! Why?"
"Because.. Truth is,I think he can help us."

~

My stomach twists as I sit there waiting,the door opens and a guard alongside Ben walks through. His skin is pale and blonde hair extremely messy,I sigh as he sits opposite me.

"What do you want?" He mutters "Why did you come here Newt?"
"Wanted to see you. Wanted you to convince your friends to stop scaring the utter bloody shit out of me and mine. Ben,please. You've all ready killed one person,Winston. I'm telling you that you can't keep doing this,"
"It's a messed up world Newt. We're all broken and lonely. In the end everything's gonna fall apart and-"
"Only you let it happen! Look Ben,your friend made me kill him. It haunts me. I've told the cops,I'm proved innocent but still it doesn't make me feel any better,"

He nods then leans back in his chair "I remember seeing Winston's dead body,I remember it so clearly Newt. His eyes were still open but it looked like the life hAd been completely sucked out of his very soul. It's guilt the feeling,it scares and overwhelms me. But truth is gang it makes me feel like I had control over something,for once."

"Fall in love," I tell him "It gives you control."

"I loved you Newt. Never again,"

"I want you to make a promise to me Ben,that you won't hurt us anymore,or anyone for that matter,"
"I won't. But the others might. I don't run this gang anymore."
"Then who does?"
"This boy. He's called Theo Raeken."

My eyes open wide and my stomach drops. I felt betrayed.

"No,no that can't be true. Theo's my friend."
Ben just shakes his head "He's no one friend. Trust me,"
"He's with me at school. All the time,"
"He's going to kill you and everyone else. I can't even control Theo,never could,I don't think there's anyone who can,"
"Ben. Please,please."
I can see the tears in his eyes "I want to."
"Then bloody help me!"
"You need to stand up to it. Go Newt. Go now before it's too late,"

I nod and run back in time for class as I see Theo. I shake as he takes my arm,we stand in the empty hallway beside our lockers.

"Get off," I push him away.
"Woah Newt,what's wrong?" He chuckles.
I pant "Look just kill me I don't care anymore."
"Newt I'm not going to hurt you,"
"I'll fight you. I'm not letting you hurt them,anyone,"
"Newt are you on drugs on something?"
"No. For once in my life I'm feeling real!"

"Newt," he strokes my hair "Please.. Please listen to me,"
"No."
"The worlds ugly," he whispers "But you're beautiful to me." He then let's out a crooked smirk. His breath against my ear,causing me to shiver.

"Ben's not on my team anymore. I work solo," he mutters.
"Give up on it!" I spit as I walk away. Who was I meant to turn to now?

"Wait!"

I turn back around to see Gally,he places his hand on my shoulder "Look at this," he hands me a piece of paper, I observe it to see code.
"Gally I can't translate this,"
"It's good I can," he smiles "I've done it but it doesn't make any sense, I can't understand what the words are,they're jumbled. It reads beware wherever Sonya first be echoes look you,"
"Well there mixed. So it'd be:Beware echoes wherever you look Sonya will be first,"
"What does that even mean Newt?"

My eyes widen "Theo... Gally,where did you even get this?"
"I saw it on the front of Sonya's locker,she can't translate code so I said I'd do it for her,"
"Okay. We just need to watch out for any suspicious signs. Don't tell anyone,one of us needs to stay with Sonya all the time. We far cause anymore panic. Also watch out for other notes or coding,I've got a feeling it'll be Brenda or Minho next. Maybe even you,"
"He took Winston out of the world first," Gally chokes out as I close my eyes gently and look down.
"I know," I whisper.
"You miss him,don't you?"
"I feel like it's all my fault,"
"No. It's not,come on we need to find Sonya."

He pulls me up and we walk down the halls to find her sitting there reading quite happily.

"You're staying with me tonight," I sigh "Something's happened and-"
"I know about Theo," she smiles and puts her book away "Newt,it's okay. We're going to make it. I'm staying with the rest of the gang tonight and we're going to make a plan. Okay?"
"Okay," I whisper and hug her tight.
"Everything's gonna work out Newt," she whispers into my ear. Kissing my cheek as she walks off. I turn back to Gally as we walk to the empty Chemistry lab. I clear the whiteboard and sit there in silence observing it.

"You don't have to know everything Newt," Gally sighs.
"A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all," I reply as I burrow my head in my hands "I don't know what to think anymore Gally. I really really bloody don't,"

I walk over to the board and write SAVE ME FROM MYSELF in bright red letters. I turn back to him.

"What am I meant to do?" I whisper.
"Newt. You're the one who always figures it out,"
"Not now. Not anymore,"

(Flashback-Newt is fifteen-third person POV)

Newt stands there as he scribbles down into his notebook. He sees Minho sit beside him and he cracks out a smile.

"What's up Sherlock?" He asks.
"Why are you calling me that?"
"Well,he's smart,and so are you. You figure things out,"
"I'm not smart. I'm just. I don't know what I am,"
"Well I wanted to ask you something,what does it feel like to be in love?"

Newt sighed and closed his eyes for a few moments. He had a boyfriend who he loved deeply. But an emotion so strong he couldn't even imagine.

"Minho. It doesn't matter if I was the smartest person in the world,if I've never been in love I can't tell you. Love,if it's with the right person I'm sure it feels perfect. The wrong is like a broken puzzle cube,it just makes you want to scream,"

(Flashback over)

After imaging this my mouth drops as I turn round to Gally-

"Why is Theo like this?" I whisper.
"He loves darkness," he replies simply.
"So does Brenda,but she's not a monster and a killer,"
"I don't know then Newt,"
"If we showed him love. He could change. I don't know what else to say,"
"Say that you'll be okay," he whispers.
"I can't. I can't promise that. Listen Gally,if someone dies. That someone's going to be me."
