Her and I

Chapter 6: The Lake

Teresa's POV

I didn't know why Thomas defended me, he didn't need to. They way Brenda screamed and yelled at me, cursing, almost about to kill me. That couldn't get off my mind.

I was still in the cave with the others, they all didn't know what to do. I also left the cave looking for Thomas. It was really cold outside, so I was wearing a scarf. I tried to run and catch up with him, so he wouldn't go any farther, but my boots had other plans. I was wearing a white t-shirt and a brown jacket around it. Instead of running, I was walking fast, I was hoping my jeans won't rip.

" Thomas!" I yelled. Thing was he would never answer, there was no point in calling his name, but I kept on calling his name.

"Tom!" I said, but I saw him in the lake, sitting down with piles of rocks in them. I guess that nickname always works. I just looked at him, the back of his head, he didn't seem to look at me, and was curled up.

I didn't like Thomas like that. I knew he was upset, I mean of course I did, I knew him ever since I could remember. I slowly walked up to Thomas, and sat down next to him. I looked at him, trying to get him to look at me. He kept staring at the lake.

"Tom," I said, placing my hand on his shoulder. I kind of moved closer realizing it.

"You ok?" I continued. He scratched his head, and looked down at the ground.

" Yea." and gave me a whisper I could barely hear, while finally looking at me, with his brown eyes. Before I could even ask him anything, Thomas went and gave me a big hug.

"Thomas, you're not telling me anything, what's wrong?" I was determined to know what was going on in his mind. I let him go so he can speak.

"It's how Brenda yelled at you. That's why I was a little mad." he told me, but I feel like he also had something else to say as well.

"There's something else you're not telling me." I said. He stared into my eyes even more. Then, he looked away to stare at the lake again. He knew he had something in his mind.

"It's about Newt." He said, I could see he felt hurt in his voice. Then, I could see his eyes getting teary.

"Tom." I said.

"I lost my best friend, and I'm not gonna let them talk to you like that." he said, we were so close, like an inch apart.

" Teresa! Thomas!" someone yelled.

" Oh there they are." It was Minho, I mean of course, he was the only one who interrupted us two.

"You two need a minute?" he said looking at us, I mean we were so close to each other, the fact he said that when Thomas and I met for the first time.

"No, hey Minho can I talk to you for a second?" he said. I'm kind of scared what he is gonna say to Minho, hoping not hating on me.
