Slipping away | newtmas

Fate

We stand still waiting for Gally. Still no sign of him, and I'm getting worse every second we stand here out in the open, where we can see explosions, fire, and people running away. "It's too dangerous here," Thomas says. "Let's get Newt to somewhere safer." Everyone nods, but as we go to walk, we see someone running towards us in the distance. We all look at each other and shrug our shoulders. It's Brenda. "Where's Gally with the serum?" She questions us. "We're not sure," Thomas says back. Brenda stands there for a minute, looking at the state I'm in. She begins, "You guys go take Newt somewhere safe, I'll go find Gally." Thomas goes to stop her. She pauses. "For Newt," she says, looking at me. Thomas nods. "Be safe," he says, squeezing her shoulder. "Always," she replies with a smirk.

Minho has his hand on my back while Tommy has his round my waist, holding me up trying to somewhere to hide. Teresa is on the lookout for any WCKD guards or cranks that may have gotten through. Teresa is staying with us considering she betrayed WCKD, which I'm not to fond of but she saved Minho so I'll give her that.

We wait there for what feels like forever, and I'm slowly losing my grip on reality. I'm hunched over spitting out black stuff while Thomas is rubbing my back, and Minho is just watching with sad eyes. I hate for them to see me like this. Even Teresa can't watch. The black has spread to my face, and my eyes have gone from brown to black, like a dark abyss. I look disgusting. But Tommy never looks away from me, nor let go of my waist. He still looks at me like I'm the most beautiful boy in the world, not disgusted by me at all.

I can't even last a minute without passing out. "Just hold on a little longer, Newt," I hear Minho say, sounding on the verge of tears, and it kills me. That's the last thing I hear.

Thomas' pov

"Newt get up, please," I say, crying so hard I start hyperventilating. "He's gone, Thomas," I hear Minho say to me as he drops to his knees, tears rolling down his cheeks. I try to shake him awake. He doesn't wake. "Newt you promised me!" I yell at his dead corpse. "You promised me you would stay with me." I say, nearly throwing up. "You're a liar!" I sob. "You lied to me.." I blurt out, barely being able to hear. My ears are ringing, and everything is spinning. I don't notice, but Teresa is by his side too, her eyes filled with tears. "I promised him he would be okay," I say. "Tho-," Teresa says, but I cut her off. "I PROMISED." It's like losing Chuck again, but 10x worse because now I know, I could've saved Chuck. I could've saved Newt. I could've saved everyone. If only Mary was here. But I couldn't save her either.

We hear footsteps coming from behind us thudding on the floor.

Brenda's pov

I run into the building, sprinting as fast as I can past the guards, trying to find the one thing that can save Newt. I run up to the very top floor, where Thomas mentioned the serum would be as he left. I hope I can save Newt in time. Thomas loves him so dearly. I sprint up the stairs, avoiding the elevators because they would just waste my time. I run into a WCKD guard. I fall backwards, catching myself on a railing. I hold my gun up, ready to shoot. To my surprise, he pulls him mask off. Gally. "Is Newt okay?" he says, breathing heavily, and I know he has been running so long to get to Newt. "Not when I last saw him, we better go now!" I shout.

Me and Gally are now running through the building, down all the stairs, completely ignoring the herd of guards following us. I throw a bomb at them, but it only takes six down out of the twenty that are there. We get out the building door squeezing through the broken glass. "We can lose them around this corner," I say to Gally. He nods. We turn the corner, getting them off our trail. "Idiots," I say to Gally, which makes him smile. Running through explosions, fire, cranks that must've gotten in, people running in every direction, scream. Then we turn the corner, and there's Newt. Laying lifeless on the ground.

Thomas' pov

It's Brenda and Gally, but they are too late. "He's gone," I sob. Gally's face drops, and Brenda collapses down beside him. "I'm so sorry," she says, crying. "It's my fault," Gally says with tears in his eyes, too. "I wasn't quick enough."It's no ones fault. We tried our best," Minho says. While I can't say anything, I'm still hanging over his dead body sobbing, my tears crashing onto his chest. I touch his face one last time and kiss his forehead. We all look at each other, and everyone starts walking away, but I'm still clinging on to his corpse, not wanting to leave him behind. "We can't just leave him!" A blood curdling scream escapes my lips, nearly making my lungs collapse. "We have to!" Minho shouts back, and I can hear the guilt in his voice. Three years longer than me, he has known Newt, and that pains me. "Newt!" I yell somehow expecting him to reply. Then I feel hands wrap around me and I'm being dragged away getting a look at the love of my life for the last time, but this time not his beautiful self, the crank version of him. Or so I thought.

I see Newt's leg twitch. "He's alive," I shout. Everyone else turns to look at Newt, but he doesn't move again. "It was a reflex, Thomas," I hear Gally say. For a moment, I thought he had come back to me. I lose all hope and continue to sob while Minho drags me away when I hear a groan and look over at Newt. I hear something that nearly makes me pass out. "Tommy!"

A/N I cried writing this.
