Aurora POV
We were walking down to where Bucky and his goats were but I couldn't get what happened with Newt off my mind. Was this what was meant to happen? I mean I do love Newt I just don't know how to say it without sounding awkward.

"Woah, careful!" Bucky exclaimed putting his metal arm out to grab my arm.

"What?" I looked at him.

"You were about to go over the gate," Lilly explained from behind him with a worried expression.

"Oh," I looked down at the floor as Thomas walked over.

"Lilly is going to spend time with Bucky, so I thought I'd chat with you," he said.

"Yeah I guess," I mumbled.

"Come, sit." He said dragging me over underneath a tree.

We sat down looking at the goats.

"You know it's ok that you didn't tell Newt you loved him right?" He asked.

"But I feel bad," I said turning to look at him.

"Yeah you will but it doesn't mean anything, it's just three words," he said trying to make me feel better.

I nodded grateful for him and leaned against the tree trunk. Thomas and I sat there for ages in silence which was nice for the both of us.

"Thanks Tommy," I said using the nickname Newt gave him.

"Anytime Rora, anytime." He responded.

Lilly POV
I feel so bad for Rora! First Newt insults her outfit then she panicked when he said I love you to her.

"You ok there?" Bucky said pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah sorry," I responded.

Bucky stopped.

"We're here," he said pointing at a white and brown goat.

Apparently he named the goat after me seeing as I'm one of the first people he saw besides Rora. I squealed in delight and ran over to stroke the goat.

"So what happened with Aurora?" He asked.

"Newt told her he loved her and she panicked and said cool. And he insulted what she was wearing." I told him.

"Oh never insult a girls clothing choice," Bucky started. "And she panicked and said cool, so why's she so upset?"

"Cause Newt yelled at her for saying that," I explained again.

"Well Newts in for it now," Bucky said trudging towards where we came from.

"Bucky NO! Rora won't be happy with you!" I screamed after him trying to get his attention.

I ran over to him and tried stopping him but he pushed me aside and kept walking.

"Buck, Rora won't be happy with you!" I tried persuading him again.

"I rather her be happy with Newt than me!" He called back. "Besides wouldn't you get mad at him too? I mean she is your best friend isn't she?!" He stopped to look back at me.

I hesitated but ran after him.

"Fine but if she hates me it's on you!" I snapped.

Bucky just nodded and we continued to walk.

Newt POV
Why did I say that!? Of course it's fine if she doesn't love me and maybe she did panic.

I scratched at my arm again for the 10th time this hour. I pulled up my sleeve again to look at the black flare that was making it's way to the rest of my body. Suddenly I hear a knock at the door and I hurriedly pull my sleeve back down as Lilly and Bucky storm in.

"HOW DARE YOU HURT RORA!" Bucky yelled.

"I didn't mean to let me explain," I started.

"No Newt, you hurt her by insulting her clothing choices and the yelling at her when she didn't say I love you too!" Lilly explained.

"No please I-" I was cut off by Bucky punching me in the gut.

"Stop please I have-" Bucky punched me again.

"Bucky! Please I have the-" Bucky punched me again and I coughed up blood over the floor.

"I HAVE THE FLARE!" I yelled just as Bucky punched me again.

"Wait Bucky stop," Lilly demanded making Bucky stop attacking me. "What did you just say Newt?!"

I sighed and rolled up my sleeve to reveal the growing flare on my forearm. She gasped and stepped backwards.

"This is why I got so mad at Aura, I didn't mean too!" I explained.

Lilly understood now, She knew I wouldn't just yell at someone especially my girlfriend.

"Bucky go get Rora NOW!" She demanded.

Bucky ran out the room and she tried walking over to Me but I  just backed away from her.

"You need to relax, your not going to hurt anyone," She told me.

"I already did!" I snapped.

Aurora POV
Our silence was ruined by Bucky running down and telling us something happened. He didn't say what he just yelled at us to get up and ran back towards where he came from. I exchanged a glance with Thomas and we followed him back up. We followed him into the room we were staying in and I hunched over trying to catch my breath.

"Bucky...why on earth...did we have to run?!" I huffed out.

"Because of me," Newt said and I looked up slowly to see blood on the floor.

"What did you do?!" I yelled.

"Don't yell, it'll just make it worse," Lilly said calmly.

"Don't yell?! Lilly, he yelled at me cause I panicked and said cool instead of I love you too!" I yelled at her.

"It wasn't his fault! Newt show her!" Lilly demanded.

I turned my glare to look at Newt who sighed and rolled up his sleeve, revealing the dark veins.

"Flare," I whispered walking cautiously towards him.

Newt stepped back as I put my hand out. I retracted my hand and jumped into his arms giving him a massive hug.

"Careful love, I don't want to give it to you," he said trying to pry my fingers off from around his neck but had no luck.

"No, I'm your girlfriend if you die I die," I cried into his shoulder.

"Hey, don't cry. You aren't going to die ok, cause I'm not going to die. We'll get through this somehow," he told me.

I pulled my head off his chest and he wiped the tears of my cheeks before pulling me into a kiss.

As we broke away I nuzzled back into his chest and whispered, "I love you too."
