That message hit Thomas like a knife to the chest, questions rolled through his head as he tried to call Newt giving up after about 20 minutes of being sent to voicemail.

Why did Newt want to break up?

Did Thomas do something wrong?

Suddenly the boy threw his phone against the wall grabbing anything and smashing it against the floor making pieces of glass shatter around him. Hot tears rolled down his red face falling against his shirt and changing the fabric colour. His heart felt heavy in his body like there was only one string that slowly began to snap under the weight of all the sadness and guilt he felt. His body started shaking as his lips trembled more and more making his head pound and eyes started to blur. Love shouldn't make somebody feel so vulnerable so weak, so unwanted, Thomas knew that so why was he feeling this way?

"Thomas?", Minho stood in the doorway eye wide as he watched the heartbroken boy in front of him who was sitting on his bed curled in a little ball. Lizzie walked out from behind him shocked at the scene, things scattered on the floor broken into little bits.

"He...broke up...with....me" Thomas sobbed words struggling to get words out of his mouth.

"Newt?" Minho asked surprised

"No shit" Lizzie rolled her eyes slowly walking into the room sitting on the messy bed pulling Thomas into a hug letting the brunette sob into her chest. "Sshhh you're okay I'm sure it's a misunderstanding I'll talk to him when I get home, Minho come to take over".

Minho rolled his eyes before walking over awkwardly trying to comfort Thomas who was a crying mess. Lizzie ran to her car driving as fast as she could to her house loudly knocking on Newt's door and waiting outside with her arms crossed. The boy stepped out clothes unwashed and hair sticking up everywhere, his eyes were bloodshot and his breath smelt of alcohol.

"Are you drunk?" Lizzie scoffed leaning against the wall.

"No...Yes....Maybe" Newt sighed resting his against the door and shutting his eyes taking a breath for a lighted cigarette, "What do you want?"

"To explain why you broke up with your boyfriend who let me remind you admitted he loved you and didn't judge you for being a complete idiot, so I'm waiting"

"Thomas I remember him well he was annoying and I didn't like him that much" Newt whispered shutting the door harshly and turning on the showers before smashing a bottle against the countertop.

Newt hated lying but he didn't want Thomas to get hurt

It had been 4 days since Thomas had left his room and apart from Lizzie checking in he hadn't moved out of his bed or spoken to anybody. Newt on the other hand was acting like nothing happened shoving his feelings down and smiling his way out of things. The dance was in two days and Thomas didn't plan on going.

"Okay Thomas I couldn't give two fucks if my brother broke your heart cause he's refusing to talk to me, so you're going to get up and get out there and show that bitch you're better off without him" Lizzie screamed barging through the boy's room throwing him some fresh clothes turning on the shower. She started to drag Thomas out of his bed earning some groans from the boy before he obliged and stepped in the shower. The warm water fell down his skin but he had no energy to move. By the time he was dressed and had eaten it was time for both of them to drive to school.

Thomas stared down a his feet while walking kicking the same rock along the path until he reached the gates fiddling with his shirt trying not to look at anybody. A pair of muscular arms wrapped around him pulling him into a hug.

"Thomas long time" Minho's voice smiled pulling away from the hug the two started walking towards his locker, "Now Thomas don't freak out but-". Newt had a girl pushed up against Thomas' locker his tongue down her throat as she ran her finger through his hair. Thomas felt his heart sink even more but didn't let one tear fall. Minho coughed loudly making the two full apart. Newt's eyes fell on Thomas who looked down at the floor. Newt fixed his hair before turning back to the girl and saying goodbye.

"See you at the dance," The redhead said smiling Newt walked away around the corner disappearing out of sight.

"Won't talk to any of us including Lizzie, something happened Thomas, Newt was happy with you and things so perfect don't end because of nothing it's up to you to find out and when you do go fuck and kiss the living daylights out of him" Minho encourages grabbing his books walking down the almost empty hallway. Standing there listening was the same redhead girl Newt was snogging with.

"Thomas right?" The girl said "Olivia" she said holding out her hand which Thomas took.

"Nice to meet you"

"Minho right Newt's only using me I know that but I need a date to the dance so that's why he's taking me" The girl smiled "But I'm not saying you can't take him from me I see the hurt in both your eyes it pretty obvious, so go get him before it's too late"

"Great" Thomas was left shocked in the middle of the hallway staring at the wall trying to figure out how to talk to Newt.
