You Can't Do This Alone

You Can't Understand. No One Will.

Thomas heard the door opening. Minho was coming in. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't escape. Talk his way out of it. Or even look at them in the eyes. He was surely screwed. Surely.

Minho dropped his bags on the floor and looked at Thomas and then Newt

"Minho it's ok. He woke up a couple of minutes ago and he just had a scratchy throat. He's fine now." Newt explained

"Fine? You call jumping up and sprinting for a knife to stab yourself with is fine?" Minho said unamused

Newt sighed "I was getting to that before I heard you come in. I asked Tommy if it was the voice that did it. Or him. He said he didn't know and he was only speaking honestly."

Thomas then coughed loudly getting Newt and Minho's attention

"Tommy would you like to say anything?" Newt asked

Thomas shook his head, he only coughed accidentally not on purpose to get attention

Thomas then coughed uncontrollably, gasping for air. He didn't know what it was but it was horrible. He felt really hot even though it was a cold day today. He had a through to scratchy that every time he coughed or tried to breath with his mouth it felt like a bunch of knifes were scratching around and destroying everything. He urged himself to stop but he couldn't. Newt and Minho were screaming at him but he could hear or talk. He passed out not to log after. And only saw darkness then.

"He was struggling to breath right...?" Jeff asked

"Yes. He was fine one minute and then started dying the next." Minho said

"After that he pasted out. I checked his pulse and heard his heart beating but it was slow. We rushed him to the hospital after that." Newt said

"I see. Well the mask we put on Thomas's face with get air into is lungs until he wakes up. To me it looked like he just came with a bad germ. Meaning he's just sick and should be fine with some medicine." Jeff reassured the 2 worried boys

"How long will he be out for...?" Newt asked

"He should be waking up in a few minutes. The most it's gonna take is 1 hour. If it does take 1 hour I'll inject the medicine instead." Jeff said

"Good that. Thanks." Minho said sitting down on a chair

"Can we stay until he wakes up..?" Newt asked

"Of course. If you need any help ask me, Clint, or Mary and we'll help you. And tell me when he wakes up. He needed medicine as fast as possible." Jeff said

"Thank you." Newt said sitting down on a chair next to Minho

"I hope he's ok..." Newt whispered

"Shhh....it's ok...he's been through a lot just like all of us....he can handle a little sickness." Minho said gently pushing Newt head onto his shoulder

Newt laid on his shoulder and sighed "but what if it's bigger then we though? What if he..."

"He won't die. Don't say that. He can handle it. Not for himself but for us." Minho said

"Your right." Newt said smiling a bit "I know Tommy will get through this. But not alone. He can't do it alone. But he can surely break through with the proper help."

"And that's why we're here for him. That's why everyone is helping once they've figured it out." Minho said

"He can get through this." Newt said "we can."
