Textbooks, Tests and Oh, College - [Newtmas AU]

Epilogue

~1 years later~

Newt smiled slightly at the stone with Thomas' name engraved. He came to the memorial at least four times a week. Before the new year started Newt and Minho, being sophomores now, decided they were going to room together.

Minho was great, he helped Newt through everything. He drove him to his therapy sessions and would watch movies with him when missing Thomas was to much to handle.

It was safe to say Minho was his best friend.

"It's been a year Tommy and I still love you," Newt whispered to the stone as he played with the hem of his hoodie...Thomas' hoodie. He wore those most of the time, it made him feel that Thomas was still there with him even though he realized there was no way he was going to come back.

He took a deep breath and started walking away when his phone suddenly rang.

He answered it without checking who it was.

"Hello."

"Newt, honey, its Lisa."

"Oh hi," Newt smiled slightly. He still kept in close contact with Thomas' mom, they needed each other in a way. She instantly became friends with Newt's mom and they became almost family to each other.

"Are you busy right now?"

"No, I was just at...I was at the memorial."

"Can I come pick you up, it's important."

"Of course, I'm done with classes for the day."

"I'll text you when I'm here."

"Okay," Newt said and hung up the phone.

He hurried back to his dorm to shower and get ready for whatever Lisa needed.

"Okay there's something I need to tell you," she said as she grasped Newt's hand from across the table at a small coffee shop a half hour outside the campus.

Newt nodded slightly, a lump forming in his throat.

"You remember how we donated Thomas' organs after he died?"

"Yeah," Newt frowned slightly at the mention of Thomas.

"A few months ago I got a call from an unknown number, it was a family who wanted to thank me. Apparently they had a son, the same age as Tom but he was blind. He got Thomas' cornea and he can see again. He also had a bad set of lungs, I'm not sure of the details but they we're able to get Thomas' lungs out quickly enough to give them to the boy. Thomas saved their sons life. He helped him see and breathe again."

"That's amazing but I don't see why you had to meet me here to tell me that," Newt looked at her with confusion.

"Oh hush Newt I'm not done with the story," Lisa smirked and squeezed his hand.

"Ever since the call I've been talking to the family occasionally and 2 months ago I met them. I told them about you Newt and their son really wanted to meet you."

Newt looked her over carefully, not fully understanding.

"He's here Newt, if you want to meet him," she said gently, "I understand if you don't feel comfortable with it but he's such a sweet boy."

Newt visually paled as he thought it over, the boy would have parts of Thomas in him. When the boy breathed it would almost be like Thomas was breathing. It was as close as he could get to ever seeing Tommy again.

"What's his name?"

"Dylan, he's the same age as you and goes to college 2 hours away from here."
