{1 year later}

{The gang are all eighteen-Except Teresa}

(Thomas POV)

It was a year.

But we survived.

After Theo's attack on us we had all made it. But pieces of us were missing. It was as if Brenda had slipped off the face of the earth. She didn't answer her calls,neither did her parents. Something's changed,my friends are quieter,so scared. Scared for one another. Newt doesn't talk much anymore and Minho lives with a broken heart. I can't fix it,I can't fix any of this. Every time I try to fight back it just gets worse. It's seems like there's no point in fighting because Theo will come back. We're just not strong enough anymore.

I sigh as I see Teresa and Aris sitting there,their hands entwined. They look so happy,hope for us all. I sigh and sit with Minho on the wall,he just looks down.

"How can Teresa be so happy?" He asks.
"She's sixteen and in love. First love. Do you know what that's like?"
"Trust me,I remember," he whispers,my mind flooding back to Brenda as my heart breaks again. I was used to it but it hurt every single time. Every second worse than the last.
"We're not close anymore. None of us. You and Newt don't fool me,you're lying to us all,you're lying when you say it's gonna be okay. Don't lie to me Thomas,after all this,please don't fucking lie,"
"Newt believes it. I believe Newt,"

(Minho POV)

I wander to the shed as shock meets my eyes. Brenda sits there,smiling. Most her hair gone but she looked perfect.

I figured to myself that it was just a plain old hallucination. I'd imagined this situation about a billion times in my head but not once did I think I had a possibility of it becoming a reality.

"It's you," I cup her cheeks and kiss her softly,savouring the moment as the tears stream down her face.
"I told you I'd come back," she smiles "Eventually. I knew it was all about to fall apart. I'm not letting it happen,not to you. I still love you Minho,"
I hug her "I love you too."

We pull apart to see them all standing by the door-Newt,Thomas,Gally,Sonya and Teresa.

"We're all here?" Gally asks.
"Yeah," I nod "We're here to save our lives,all of us,"
"So where are we going?" Teresa asks as she squeeze onto Thomas' hand.
"To Theo," I reply "He tried to kill Newt and we need to stop this before we all die."

We all through the abandoned forest to a large rock building. I shake heavily as we decide to split up. I kiss Brenda gently and walk with Newt,crouching down.

I sigh and watch him as I see the red mark on his neck. He doesn't cover it.

"Do you want the scarf on the wound?" I ask.
"No," he smiles.
"Why not?"
"Because," he crouches closer and puts his hand on my shoulder "Minho, someone tried to strangle me and I survived. I shouldn't have to hide that,"

I crash him into my arms,hugging him tight.
"I love you Newt,you're an amazing friend,"
"I love you too Minho,"

We pull away and he wipes my tears.
"It's gonna be okay,"
"How do you know that?"
"Because it has to be,"

Just then hands grab at me and I'm thrown to the ground.

Seeing nothing but darkness...

(Newt POV)

I look around to see Sonya beside me. The door was locked,there's just a simple computer which I lean down to.

"What's the pass?" Sonya whispers.

"The key," I whisper back as my eyes widen and my fingers hover over the keyboard letters "The key to break the code,"

I gulp in a breath and type in my own name,it accepts and instantly logs in. On the screen is a red button labeld DESTRUCT so without second-thoughts I press it to hear a loud bang then explosions of fireworks which burst out into the black abyss of the night sky.

"Holy shit," I exlaim under my breath as Sonya pulls me back down the steps but something pulls us apart. I yell out as Theo places me on a chair,circling me with a smirk on his face as he wraps a chain around my neck,the grip it has on my neck tightens hard. I let a broken scream escape my lips.

"Don't resist," he purrs into my ear "You did this to me Newt,broke my heart. You're going to pay,"

(Thomas POV)

"Where's Newt and Minho?" Sonya demands.
"We're gonna die," Teresa whimpers.
"No we're not," Brenda says "We just need to find Theo."

At that moment I see someone standing there smirking. It's Theo.

"There he is!" He yells to me "Come on Thomas. I've got Newt,what are you gonna do?"
I grit my teeth "Leave. Him. Alone,"
"Fight for him," he mutters. I cradle Teresa in Brenda's arms as I run to where he is,Minho lays there and so does Newt.

"NO!" I scream as I pull him close "Please,please,not you guys. I can't manage without you," I wipe my eyes "Someone help!"

Sonya runs to Minho and begins to pump down on the centre of his chest. I do the same with Newt.

"He's just someone your gonna know and forget," I hear Theo laugh.
"He's not someone he's my husband,I love him and he's too strong to die like this. Wake up Newt!" I yell as I slam down once more on his chest and his eyes open wide.

I sling him over my shoulder and rock him gently back and forth as I see Sonya dragging Minho.
"Don't you die!" She yells at him as she cries "Don't you die in me Minho. Don't you die! Hold on.. For her,for Brenda. Please,"

His eyes open at his words "It's okay," he whispers "You just need to stop Theo. That's why we're here,that's why we came."

Theo laughs again and walks to us.
"You're not heroes,none of you."

Newt grabs and shoves him down,even though he's weaker. He grabs Theo's neck and squeezes it.

"You made me kill someone. You made me trust you. You're a monster," he pulls his hands away and pants as he starts to cry "I can't live being afraid anymore!"

"No!" Brenda screams and pulls Newt close,stroking his cheeks "Newt,shh.. it's okay. It's okay I swear just listen to me. It's only in fairy tales that princesses and others can afford to wait for the handsome prince to save them. In real life, they have to bust out of their own coffins and do the saving themselves. But one day your life will flash right before your eyes," She whispers with a smile "So make sure it's worth watching,"

I just nod,acknowlaging her words as I'd always do as we hear the sirens for a cop car which pulls up. I cradle Brenda behind me as they handcuff and drag Theo away.

"Newt it's okay now-" I turn to him to see he's looking at a wall where names have been wirtten. I sigh and walk to him.

"Look," he whispers "These were the people who were here before,"

Newt then pulls out a knife from his pocket and crosses out Theo's name (A sign of defeat) then writes Erica's,then Winston's.

"Dude," I mutter and take his hand. I knew in my heart that there was nothing he could've done to save them;the problem was that I don't think Newt did "You were a hero Newt,"

"No.. i'm not a hero Tommy,"

I just smile "You were tonight,"

(Newt POV)

He brings me home and we sit in my room in this complete and utter silence.

"So what'd we do now?" Tommy asks.

"Try and forget it ever happend," I whisper.

"What,you mean us?"

"Everything beside that,"

He nods as his fingers reach out and trace across the red scar on my neck as I take it away;kissing his pale and still shaky hands gently.

"Forget that too Tommy,"

{Epilogue}

{Thomas POV}

We adopted two children. One we named Erica,another Winston. The ones before died in the hands of evil. Newt still has nightmares and someday they'll know why,they'll know what happened. The mark on his neck and heart.

But even in my darkest hours,I find focus by what Newt told me about the comet. "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." Newt knew truly what was to fight for. He wanted to fight for love most of all,also to fight for something to believe in. "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."

We're still here. Here for everyone who was ever afraid of fighting for the right cause,everyone who was ever afraid. It's okay to live in fear,you just need to know when to overcome it. The time is now.

Where there is love there is life and when there's darkness there's a light to guide you through it. It's called hope. You just have to wait for it sometimes.

Just like love.
