Chapter 19: Into The Darkness

Hello again! It's me! Hope you are enjoying this story so far, sorry it has taken me this long to update. But I'm back again with a new chapter of Him & I! TYSM For 2k!!! That is so amazing! I hope you've enjoyed the story so far, this has been a rollercoaster. But thanks for sticking with me through part of this journey.🩷 Without further ado, I present...Into The Darkness

Thomas's POV

When I awoke it was dark, and I was alone. I tried to use my arms to push myself off the floor, but there was a searing pain in my left one and I collapsed back down. I tried again, but was met with the same results. I brought my arm close to my face to asses the damage, but it was too  fucking dark, and I couldn't see anything even my fingers, which were inches from my face. Then it hit me, Newt, he was in my arms when we fell through the floor, so I called out his name into the darkness. 

"Newt?"

There was no answer.

"Newt?" I tried again. 

Still no answer, so I tried one more time.

"Newt!" 

This time, I was answered.

"Thomas!" 

But it wasn't Newt.

"Minho? Is that you?"

"Yeah. Thomas, where are you?"

"Over here!"

"That's not helpful shank! Describe where you are, we're coming to get you." Minho called through the darkness. 

"Well, It's dark, and uh, sandy, and I'm on a concrete floor." I yelled back.

"Wow, so helpful." Minho responded back sarcastic and unamused. I could just see him rolling his eyes. 

Then someone else from inside the darkness called out something. I tried to figure out who that voice was, but it was too faint and far away, and I hit my head pretty damn hard on the floor. I heard his footsteps thud against the ground, he was leaving. 

"Wait! Minho! Come back you stupid shank!"

"Hang on Thomas, we found flashlights. We're coming your way, and now we can actually see where we're going." Minho called. 

A few moments later, I saw a glimmer of light appear about fifty feet to my left. 

"Minho! Over here!" I called, waving my right arm like a maniac, whilst trying to ignore the piercing pain in my left arm. 

The light flashed over me, then started growing bigger as Minho ran over to me. He shone the light directly in my face, but I was so glad to see him, I didn't really care too much. That was until everyone came over and pointed their flashlights in my eyes. 

"Glad to see you all too, but please get your flashlights out of my face!" I said loudly. 

They all backed up, and their flashlights were lowered. With a little perseverance, (and a hand from Minho) I was able to make it to my feet. Then I was engulfed in a hug by at least three different people. Once they pulled away,  I bombarded them with questions. 

"What happened? When did you guys get down here? How did you guys get down here? What took you so long? Is everyone okay? Where'd you find the flashlights? and most importantly, where's Newt?" I asked. 

"Woah Thomas, slow down." Minho said.

Then Aris piped up. 

"Well Thomas, you fell through the floor and landed in here. We got here almost an hour ago, if I'm not mistaken. We found another entrance a little ways down from here, and came in to look for you. It took us longer, because if you haven't noticed, IT'S EXTREMELY FREAKING DARK DOWN HERE!"
