The Assassin Trapped In A Maze ~Newtmas~

Chapter 26

~Newt's POV~

We had arrived in Beacon Hills a few hours ago and was now patiently waiting in my brother's friend's house were he had apparently been living the whole time I was gone. We were supposed to go and see Minho but they were doing god knows what in Scott's room while I was asked to wait in the living room, on the couch, alone. I had time to take a look around the house and find it to be way more cosy and felt more like a home than how my house felt like. I found my house way too big and unpersonal for my taste.

"Um, who are you?" Someone asked as the front door opened and a woman stepped into the living room, eyeing me suspiciously. She didn't look that surprised to see a stranger sitting in her living room couch but still looked a bit wary.

"Ne- I mean, Dean" I said, clearing my throat awkwardly. "Nice to meet you"

"Oh you're Isaac's brother" She said, her whole face lighting up with recognition and smiled kindly when I nodded. "It's nice to meet you too, how are you feeling?" She asked and I knew she was refering to my kidnapping and everything.

"I'm fine" I replied and she seemed to not believe me but nodded anyway, respecting my bounderies and left me alone again to go to the kitchen and put away the grocery shopping bags she had in her hands. Footsteps were soon heard again coming down the stairs and Isaac as well as Scott appeared and walked towards me.

"Alright" Isaac said. "Are you ready to go see that friend of yours?" He asked and I smiled at him before standing up.

"Let's go" I replied and we all climbed in Scott's mom's car and drove to Minho's house.

The drive there was pretty fast and I took some time to look at the streets and the woods surrounding the neighbourhood. It seemed to be quite a nice town, quiet. Soon, we arrived in front of a pretty big house and we got out of the car, walking to the house before standing in front of the door, waiting for someone to open it after ringing the bell.

An asian woman, seeming to be in her forties opened the door and smiled warmly at us before stepping to the side and letting us in. We walked inside and she led us through the short hallway leading to the living room where a girl was sitting on the couch. The moment she saw us she stood up and quickly jumped into Scott's arms before kissing him. I turned my attention away from the couple, not being able to stop the feeling of jealousy and longing from taking over.

"You must be Dean" She exclaimed with a big smile, turning the attention to me once she was done greeting Scott.

"Yeah" I replied quietly.

I didn't like being called Dean, I prefered Newt so much more but they didn't know Newt, they knew Dean.

"Bro" She shouted loudly, startling me as she did so.

"What?" A familiar voice shouted back and a wide smile spread on my face when I recognised it as Minho's.

"Your friend is here" She shouted again and a loud thump was heard followed by cursing before we heard him running down the stairs.

He suddenly barged into the living room and stopped dead in his tracks when we made eye contact. A smile appeared on his face, mirroring the one I had and we both ran and collided with each other, hugging like we never had before. It felt so good being in his presence again. My best friend was by my side and I felt like I could breath normally again, like I was back with my family.

"Shank, you have no idea how much I missed you" I heard him say, tightening his hold on me.

"I missed you too, Minho" I replied, patting his back a few times before pulling away.
