broken glass

the choice

Newt heard voices around him, he felt strange, like he wasn't really there. There it was again the bright light. Suddenly he was surrounded by white, nothing but white. Newt shouted. "Hello ?" Two holes appeared and the blond boy frowned. In the first he could see green grass, mountains, a beautiful blue sky, wild animals living in peace, people smiling and talking excitedly. The second one caught his eyes. dark messy hair, perfect smile, sparkling dark eyes, angelic laugh, Tommy. Newt stared at it for a moment, trying to figure it all out. "I'm dying aren't I ?"

"Yes you are." A voice said, but no one was there. "You have to choose Newt. You can die and live in a place without hate and problems or you can go back. Back to the people you love. It's up to you."

Newt didn't even have to think about it. "I'm going back. I promised him I would never leave him. I love him, I don't care he broke up with me. I need to be sure he's safe."

"You have made your choice then ?"

"Yes." It came out as a whisper as he walked his way back. He stepped into the now black hole and everything went black again. Then he started hearing the voices around him once again, he knew he was back all he had to do was think of Thomas. He couldn't leave him. No matter what he had told him, Newt refused to believe the blond didn't love him anymore. That kiss in the park just before he broke up wasn't really a kiss you give someone you don't love anymore. The passion, the emotions, the need but most of all the love. No, Thomas still loved him. Something was making him do this. Tyler. He remembered now. Newt pushed his thoughts away and listened to the steady voices of the people around him.

"He's back."

"God, this one is a fighter."

"We lost him two times. he has something worth fighting for."

"It's the boy."

"The dark haired one?"

"Yeah... They seem to be really close."

"They're gay."

Newt felt his heart skip a beat at the mention of Thomas.

"Probably. They had to drug him at the house and again when he woke up."

Newt's stomach did a flip. He wasn't sure if he should be worried or happy. Thomas had found him. He had had to be drugged, this meant Thomas at least still cared about him. He wanted to smile but he found himself unable to do so. He wanted to open his eyes but again he wasn't able to. He would just have to wait. He would have to keep trying.

A woman's voice filled Newt's ears and he listened carefully.

"He seems to be stable. He's gonna get through it. He has a few broken ribs though. The bleeding in his lungs has been stopped. The kid is lucky he's alive but he seems to be stable. we'll have to watch him closely for a few days."

He heard the doctors hum in agreement.

"Should I go tell Mr. Sterling ? I think he might need to know he is going to be alright."

Newt's heart started beating faster again and he could feel himself smile. He was waking up. He could hear the beeping of his heartbeat go faster on the monitor and one of the doctors chuckled.

"I guess that means yes." Newt could hear a smile in his voice. "I'll bring him to room 250. You can go talk to the boy and his family and tell him they can come see him."

Newt smiled again before sleep took over and he drifted of in a peaceful sleep.

Thomas just sat there tears sliding silently down his face, his knees pulled up to his chest and his fist clenching around the ring on it's chain. He wasn't even aware of the things that were happening around him. Minho and Teresa sitting on either side of him glancing worriedly at each other now and then and rubbing Thomas' shoulders or arms. Sandra and Justin comforting each other as they feared for their son's life. People staring at him as they walked past. He wasn't even aware of the nurse walking towards them smiling slightly. Only when Minho nudged him rather harsh he looked up. He jumped up followed by the others when he saw the nurse but his head felt dizzy, he stumbled but the nurse held him on his feet.
