Newton's Law

Chapter 5

Wake up, Jay! My voice. Someone was touching my hand, but I was still trying to pry my eyes open.

"Jay?" Newt's voice became more clear.

"Newt?" I opened my eyes and say Newt and Thomas leaning over me. "How long have I been out?" I tried sitting up, but only pain came from my body.

"Around a week and a half. Thomas and I have been checking up on you the past week. You feeling a bit better?"

I nodded my head yes, but I could not feel my leg. Just an excruciating pain. "My leg,Its-"

"Your leg broke. We were able to patch it up, but you might be like Newt. Limp." Newt punched Thomas in the arm.

"I told you to be careful." Newt looked at me with a not-so-happy face. Although he did smile a bit. "Still, you're alive." He laughed.

I tried, but it just brought pain. Sighing, I tried my best to sit up. This time, it was a success. Thomas grabbed a pillow and put it on my back.

My heart thumped when Thomas smiled at me. He touched my head and rubbed it while smiling. Maybe I was falling for him.

Jay! Stop, you can't like him. Can I? I shook my head and blinked three times, I think.

"Let's try to get you walking. The creators sent an antidote that should get you walking in no time. Why don't we try it out?" I was surprised that Newt took something from the Creators. He hated them, from my knowledge.

He helped me put my legs on the ground. The pain was excruciating, but I managed. My leg looked no different, but it was just a slight change in my right knee. The knee looked a bit twisted, but from what Jeff told me, it was not. He said my knee was always like that and they just never noticed, because I wear pants.

Thomas put his hand around my waist and help bring me up to a standing position. My heart began to beat again faster. He was around 5'10, so obviously he was taller than me. Thomas' smile shone down at me,, but I looked away, hopping I am not blushing. I heard and felt him laugh, so I knew that I probably was blushing.

As we walked around the Med-Jacks, Thomas continued have his hand around me. Newt returned after going to grab some water and gave Thomas a stern look.

"You got this?" I nodded my head yes and Thomas let go. Newt came back to a smile and came to give me the glass of water. When I looked down, I finally noticed what I was wearing. I had on a sports bra, short shorts that went right above my knee. My hair was down and I had no shoes on.

Sports Bra! I screamed and dropped the glass. My hands flew to my chest and I covered it up.

"Um, can I get some real clothes. Please!" I shook in my spot, and Newt grabbed a blanket.

"Tommy, get Jay a shirt. Do you want some pants love, or are you good with shorts." Newt is always polite, but that's what you get with a British brother.

"Yeah, pants would be nice." Thomas nodded his head and ran out.

"Here sit down." Newt smiled.

"No, it's fine. I have been sleeping for a week." I laughed. "Newt, thank you."

"Why would you be thanking me?" Newt pulled up a chair and forced me to sit.

"You take care of me like a real sister, and I appreciate that. Although you are my real brother, it's still nice."

"No problem." Newt cleaned up the broken glass. "Jay, I have a question to ask you."

"Sure, anything. Plus, when you are done, I have a question to ask you." I smiled.

"You," Newt laughed,"Do you like Tommy? If so I'm fine with it, but I just want the best for you."

I was flabbergasted at his question. How do I respond? Do I like Thomas? Newt stared at me in anticipation.

"Yes? No? Newt, to tell you the truth, I am trying to figure that out myself." He looked at me in confusion. "Newt, I have never gone through this before, or at least I don't think I have. I don't know my own emotions right now." I sighed and broke our eye contact. My face was down, and I really was not in the mood to talk.

Almost on command, Thomas came in panting.

"What did you do, run through the Maze?" I looked at Thomas as he gave me the clothes.

"No, just it's harder to find clothes than you think, but I got you some." He had the same adorable smile on.

I put my clothes on and Newt told me to continue to rest. I did as commanded. The moment I hit the pillow, I was asleep.
