"No." Newt says, firmly crossing his arms and staring down at you.
"Well I don't really have much of a choice do I?" You say, folding your arms and attempting to look intimidating. And failing miserably to the point that Newt bursts out laughing and grabs your arm and pulls you towards him, and you bury your head in his chest, and he rests his chin on top of your head.
"I can't let you go home, (y/n)." He whispers, squeezing you tighter. "I need you to be safe."
"I'll be fine," you say quietly, knowing full well that you're lying, and Newt seems to know it too.
"Yeah. Sure. You seem so confident," he says, kissing the top of your head.
"Okay well I understand that it's not a very good idea, but I don't really have anything else I can do. I know it's not desirable, but he's my Dad. That's my house. Where else am I supposed to go?" You're on the verge of tears now, and are struggling to wipe them away before Newt can catch a glimpse. Too late.
"Hey, hey, (y/n), it's okay," he says, wiping the tears out of your eyes. "I know what we're gonna do."
"Huh?"
"You're coming to stay with me," Newt says with the biggest grin in the world on his face.
.........
"Here we are," Newt says, pulling his car to a stop in front of one of the biggest houses you have ever seen. You stare at it gaping, too scared to go in. He laughs, seeing your expression and grabs your hand, pulling you towards the house.
You walk into the kitchen behind Newt and you're greeted by a beautiful woman, who smiles at you. She has Newt's smile, and she pulls you into a hug.
"Hello dear," she says with a British accent as well as Newt. You're shocked at this show of affection, but there's something about this woman that just calms you, and you soon hug back, nearly melting into her arms.
"Hey mom, this is (y/n), and her parents are going to be out of town for a while, would you mind if she used one of the guest rooms?" Newt asks, grabbing an apple off of a bowl on the counter.
"Oh so this is (y/n)!" She exclaims, holding you at arms length and looking you up and down, "She really is beautiful, you were right!" She says, glancing back at Newt, then, turning to you, "Newt talks about you all the time, it's so good to finally meet you! I'm Clair if you need anything."
"Why don't we go get you into a room?" Newt says, blushing furiously, and turning away as soon as possible. You give his mom a little wave before following him into this maze of a house.
"Here, this is the best guest room we have, all for you," he says with a cheesy grin.
"Really Newt, this is sweet but I don't want to intrude," you say, biting your lip.
"Nonsense. My mom loves visitors, and we have plenty of space."
"I don't have any clothes..." you say, trailing of and biting your lip. Again.
"I'll go get your clothes later today, and we can get you anything you need."
You shake your head, "I don't want to be a burden...."
"Nonsense. We have plenty of everything. It'll be fine."
"You shouldn't go back to my house, I'll go and come back later."
At this he grabs your wrist and pulls you close, "You're not going back there if I can help it. At least not alone."
Biting your lip, you nod. "Great!" Newt says, we'll go now, if that's okay?" You nod again, but not very enthusiastically. You don't want to go back.
