♠️️Thomas' POV♠️
For the next few weeks. Newt avoids me completely, he won't answer my calls, or answer the door when I go to his house. He sends Gally to the door, and Gally hates me. I don't even know if we're together anymore.

But I'm worried about him.

Every day at school I can see he's been crying and he's defiantly lost weight.

Today at school when I pass him I grab his arm. He tries to pull out of my grip but i just hold his arm tighter.

"Thomas let go," He spits out.

"Not until you tell me what's going on!" I say.

He sighs.

"Nothing's going on Thomas. You slept with Teresa!" He says his voice raising.

I release his hands from my grip.

"I didn't mean about that, I mean
about you. You haven't been eating and you've been crying. Plus yes, I did sleep with Teresa but I didn't know you then Newt! You can't blame me for my past, that I regret may I add," I sigh.

"How do you know I haven't been eating and have been crying?" He asks, his voice trembling.

"I know you Newt," I say then add. "Plus look I say grabbing his waist, you can see," He flinches away from me.

For a second I think he's going to run away from me. But he leaves into me and cries into my shoulder.

"My dads back Tommy," He says.

"He isn't meant to be allowed out yet!" I say pulling Newt away from my chest.

"He got, an, erm, good lawyer and now he's back just on probation," He cries.

I wipe away his tears.

"Is that why you aren't eating?" I say.

He nods. "Not just that though," he says looking at the floor.

Please don't be because of me. Please don't be because of me I plead in my head.

"I hate fighting with you Tommy," He says biting on his lip.

"I hate fighting with you too," I say gently putting my hand into his hair.

"I don't think we can be together like that Thomas. I'm sorry. It was better when we were just friends," He says sadly.

I nod.

"Okay," I say pulling him back into my chest. "Whatever means I won't lose you, I'll take," I mumble and kiss his head.

"You'll never lose me," I hear him whisper so quietly I think I just imagined it.

Newt pulls back and I feel someone shouting my name. I turn to be faced with Gally.

"Get away from Newt," He says so only I can hear.

He then punches me right in the face and walks off. I'm too shocked to fight back, to defend myself.

I'm on the floor and Newt helps me up.

"What was that about? Thomas?" He says lifting my face to look at the damage.

"Nothing," I say and then walk off, leaving him in the corridor alone.

He can't know, he can't know, HE CANR KNOW. I keep telling myself.

On the way to the nurses office I bump into Teresa.

"I've heard you've been telling people we shagged," She says. Then adds. "Round two?" Then laughs.

"Unless you couldn't tell, I'm not in the mood Teresa," I say and push past her. She scoffs and walks off and I sigh. That's three people I've pissed off today and it's only ten am.

What am I doing with my life?
