I turned my head to see Newt break out of some sort of trance when Thomas grabbed his jacket. I scrambled over to them.

"T, we need to move. There are too many people here." I told him.

"Okay." He fumbled with Newt's jacket, "We gotta now. Come on. Let's go."

"No. No, Thomas." Newt said aggressively while trying to rip a necklace off his neck.

"Come on! We can do this later! We gotta get you up, now!"

"No, just take this! Take it!" Newt shouted causing Thomas' pleading to stop. He held up a piece of string with a small canister on the end.

Thomas took Newt's hand in a firm hold.

"Please, Tommy, please." He cried.

"Alright." Thomas replied gently while taking the necklace and shoving it into his pocket.

Newts eyes wandered everywhere and I could tell he was extremely dizzy.

"I need you to give us everything you've got. You ready?"

Newt nodded slightly as Thomas lifted him up.

"Y/n, you lead the way. I've got him." Thomas instructed.

All of us were slow. I had a bullet in my leg and Thomas was carrying Newt who could barely walk by himself. We hobbled across the fire ridden street, trying to avoid the random shots.

We made it to a building and I smashed the window on the door allowing us to slip through. Finally, somewhere quiet. I helped Thomas carry Newt as his foot was being dragged behind him.

"We're almost there, Newt. Stay with me, come on." Thomas struggled.

"Come on, Goldie. You got this." I tried my best to smile convincingly.

As soon as I spoke those words, Newt collapsed out of our arms onto the hard stone floor. Before he fully hit the floor, he shoved me away causing my leg to twist and hurt even more.

I kept my eyes focussed on the two boys in front of me as I shuffled backwards so my back was wrested on a pole. I attempted to stand up to get to them and help get Newt further but each time my leg fell.

"Newt, no, no, no." Thomas spoke quickly as Newt began to gag.

He pulled Newt a little further until he fell as well.

"Thomas?" Teresa voice fill our ears through a speaker, "Y/n?"

We both froze and Thomas looked at me, earning a shrug of confusion.

"Can you hear me? I need you both to listen to me. I know you have no reason to trust me, but I need you to come back."

Thomas slowly stood.

"You can save Newt."

My eyes fell to my half-dead best friend in front of me.

"There's still time for him. There's a reason Brenda isn't sick anymore. It's your blood. Do you understand? She isn't sick, because- because you both cured her. She doesn't have to be the only one. All you have to do is come back. And this will all be finally over. Please. Thomas, just come back to me."

"T, don't fall for her trance." I shouted but he ignored me.

"I know you'll do the right-"

She was cut off and the lights flickered before blasting on again. While Thomas was still turned Newt slowly arose.

"Thomas." I said.

"What-" He turned angrily and his eyes met Newt's back, "Newt?"

Newts face was covered in veins and his lips were fully black along with his eyes. He growled and hurled himself at Thomas who threw him to the floor again. A hand clasped over my mouth as tears flowed down my cheeks.

This wasn't my best friend.

"Newt? Newt, it's me. It's me!" Thomas shouted as Newt ran at him again.

They rolled around on the floor for a few minutes. I could tell Thomas was trying his best not to harm Newt.

"Tommy, kill me!" He coughed as more liquid spewed onto the ground.

Hope flickered in Thomas' eyes when he realised a bit of Newt was still there. He slowly crept forward but before words could leave his mouth he was jumped on top of. Newt began to attempt biting Thomas, revealing his stained teeth.

I knew I had to do something. I, again, tried to push myself off the floor but it was no use. My leg wasn't strong enough to carry me over to them both.

"Newt, please!" I shouted.

"Please! Please!" Thomas agreed.

Newt stopped fighting for a second and stared down at the boy he was straddling. He's eyes shot to me for a second before going back.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay."

I watched Newt lift a gun to his temples and a scream left my lips,

"No!"

Thomas did the same, "No!" He pushed the weapon out of Newt's hand causing it to slide away.

Finally, Thomas was able to get Newt off of him. But Newt pulled a hand knife out of his back pocket. A yelp escaped my mouth as he swung at Thomas. Once again, he was on top. Pressing the top of the knife into Thomas' chest.

Thomas shouted in pain and punched Newt across the face.

Brenda, Minho, Gall, hurry please.

Both of them were stood up again and Newt was still trying to stab Thomas. Their bodies collided and both of them froze. I could only see Newts face and it was straight.

Thomas stepped away from Newt and held his shoulders. His eyes fell down to Newts chest and he sucked in a sharp breath. His body moved out of the way and I saw a knife sticking out of Newt's body. I screamed but it came out broken. Loud sobs left my mouth as I stared at my best friend.

A quick, small smile spread on Newt's lips, "Tommy..."

Then he collapsed backwards but Thomas made sure to catch him.

"No, no." I breathed under my breath.

Thomas hovered over Newts limp, lifeless body.

"No, no, no. No!" He cried.

A small lingering tear fell from Newt's eye. Thomas noticed and stood up. Brenda ran into where we were causing Thomas to freeze and meet her eyes. Her face went cold as she saw Newts body. In her hand was a capsule with blue liquid in. The cure.

Everything was silent beside my loud cries. Thomas quickly grabbed the gun and went to run off.

"Thomas, no! Don't go! Don't go for her! She's not worth it. It's a trap! You will only get hurt." I yelled but he ignored me.

I used all my might to get over to Newt. Once I was finally close enough to him, I rested my head on his chest while holding his jacket in my fists. My leg was rigid but I was ignoring the agonising pain.

"Newt. Why? Why you? Out of all people, why you?" I sobbed.

I saw out of the corner of my three more boys run in. Gally, Fry and Minho.

"Goldie. Come on. Wake up. I need you. We need you." I said into his chest.

I raised my head. All four of them looked shocked. Minho was on the very verge of tears.

"We can help him! It's okay. We- we can help him." I shouted trying to be convincing.

Gally looked at me and tilted his head as to say 'I'm sorry.' Frypan and Minho trudged over, falling to their knees. Gally ran behind me and pulled me into a hug so my back was to his chest and his arms were around my waist.

"Gall, he's- he's-"

"I know, baby. I know." His voice cracked. He was just as sad as the rest of us.

"I could have saved him! Teresa said- she said that my blood would- would save him!"

"No, y/n. Don't say that." Gally rested his head on top of mine.

Silence. Deathly silence.

Each and every one of us cried silently over his corpse. Gally sniffled and rested his head in the crook of my neck.

Minho wanted to scream. He wanted to cry but he didn't. He has always been afraid of showing his real emotions.

Fry let the tears fall but he made no noise. He was too shocked.

After minutes that felt like hours, Gally began to stand up along with the others.

"No. We can't leave him here." I sobbed.

"Y/n, he's g-" Fry started.

"I know. Okay? I know he's gone! But- but he needs a proper burial. He can't stay here in this shucking place!" I shouted causing them all to flinch.

"Y/n, I'm sorry." Gally whispered sadly before picking me up in bridal style and carrying us back to Jorge.

I smacked his chest in anger but he didn't care. He knew what I was feeling but he was better at hiding his anger. The pain from my leg began to kick in and my body became less stiffened. I just cried into his chest. Heartbroken.

My eyes flickered back to Newts body one last time and I remembered the time I was being dragged away from Gally back at the maze. He had a spear through his heart and now Newt had a knife through his.

But I had a feeling Newt wouldn't be coming back.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. :( RIP Goldie

also last Friday when I said I had a drama assessment turns out I didn't. I thought we would have so I didn't go to school (my mum let me off because she had noticed how I had been stressed the whole week before) BUT THIS FRIDAY IS THE ASSESSMENT. I might have to just skip class.

ALSO I think I might edit 'Together'  because the fact that I got them together so early is extremely annoying to me now...

😔
