Broken and Gone ( A Newtmas Fanfic)

Chapter 1

Keisha had been broken to many times to count, but Newt had been the final blow, but now running toward the makeshift medical tent with according to Jackie was fully conscious for the first time in over a month (not including small groans, sleep talking and yelling.) Her long hair whipped around her head as she sprinted, Dante still in her arms and Jackie running behind her. Millions of half formed thoughts ran through her head. When she reached the tent, she stopped dead in her tracks, and she felt Jackie bang into her back but that didn't faze her. Newt. Kind, smart, selfless, brave Newt. She thought of when she had found him.

She had been on her own for two days, two days since Newt had convinced her to leave him, she didn't know how to feel when it had happened. Part of her was angry at Newt for not sucking it up for Dante, okay also for her, he had been her one friend, her only friend and he had left her to insanity because he was too afraid to turn to become a crank. She also felt a little relived that he had left after all she had seen what he did when people got in his way when he was angry and a part of her wondered if any of that anger would someday affect her children, and herself. All her thoughts seemed to finally start to construct a decision, she pushed through the flaps.

Newt was sitting up in the sleeping bag they had managed to steal from a home a few weeks ago, his blond hair was ruffled and had small pieces sticking up in different directions. His blue eyes darted around the room and landed on Keisha, she looked older than the last time Newt had seen her, her dark hair was longer with a few growing grey strands in it, but she still held herself with the same laid back confidence that Newt over time had learned to trust. Their eyes locked and they seemed both to be asking questions. Keisha ran forward, Newt thought she might hug him but instead she slapped him hard on the arm.

"Ow" Newt complained, "What shucking was that for?"

Keisha crossed her arms across her chest and squeezing Dante "Explain."

Newt took a deep breath and patted the spot next to him indicating Keisha to sit, she sat down gingerly and placed Dante next to her. Dante started to slowly move toward Newt seeming to slightly recognize the boy he had lived with for a few months and had cared for him occasionally. Newt looked at Keisha for permission to touch the boy, she bit her lip and nodded. Newt picked Dante up slowly as to not startle the kid and ruffled his hair lightly,

"Hey kid, how you doing."

Dante just stared at him, and Newt decided that he must still not be speaking. The kid looked good, he had grown a few more teeth and was wearing a grey smock type thing over leggings and a scrap fabric shirt and thick wool socks that were black and ripped in spots probably from mud and rocks but other than his clothes his hair was clean, and his face looked fresher than when he had seen him last. Dante squirmed a bit and when Newt put him down, he climbed over to him and hugged his waist. Newt was so startled he almost fell back. Keisha who had been watching this entire exchange smiled and Newt heard and small giggle and noticed a girl crouching at the entrance of the tent, Jackie Newt thought this was the girl he had worked so hard to get Keisha to, she looked like her mother with dark eyes and hair that was now jutted out of her messy bun, her face was round but her cheeks were sunken most likely due to malnourishment. Newt smiled at them and gently hugged Dante back letting his small warm body push into his chest. He sighed and met Keisha's eyes. "

Well to start I told my best friend to shoot me"
