Chapter 17

Thomas POV 

Newt hasn't come to school for three days. He didn't text me either. 

I talked to his friend and Minho but both of them said that Newt wanted to be alone. I texted him hey but he didn't reply. 

The whole having a fake girlfriend was a mistake. 

Not only did it probably hurt Newt it had an affect on me as well. 

I decide to call him after I get off the bus. 

He doesn't pick up. 

I call again. 

 He doesn't pick up. Again.

I know that he is ignoring me. 

Should I go to his house? Wait I don't even know where he lives. 

I call two more times and then he finally picks up. 

¨Yes, Thomas?" He says. 

I clear my throat. 

"Hey. I was just wondering where you have been. You haven't been at school." I continue to walk on my route home. 

"I've been busy." He says flatly. 

There is an awkward silence. 

"You've been busy too." Newt continues. 

I stop walking. 

"And what does that mean exactly?" I ask. 

It's probably Jessica. I think to myself. 

"Doesn't matter."

I get a feeling that he was going to hang up. 

"Wait. Wait. Will you be at school tomorrow? I miss you." I say quickly. 

The fact that I'm panicking right now is not okay.

When I'm with Newt I'm much more of a better person and he makes me feel more like my self. All my worries go away when I'm with him because I'm focused on him and not myself. Who is Thomas without Newt?

He doesn't say anything but he's still on the call. 

Finally, he says with his voice cracking, "You... don't miss me." 

With that, he hangs up.

"Damn it!" I kick the rock in front of me and shove my phone in my pocket. 

I continue walking home stressed. 

He must come to school tomorrow.

His voice cracked at the end. He's obviously sad about something and... and... I don't know what to do. 

I need to figure something out. 

Opening the door with the keys, I take my backpack off and walk up to my room. 

"He was there when I needed him," I say out loud and fall asleep on my bed. 

TIME SKIP 

After this day is finally the weekend. I definitely need it. I say to myself as I walk into school. 

I'm not feeling it today. 

I didn't even do my homework. Ever since my conversation with Newt yesterday it just messed me up. 

He hasn't even been taking the bus anymore either. 

Every morning I get on the bus I look if he is sitting anywhere. People have started to notice that I'm always looking for him too. 

What am I suppose to do about that though?

I love him. 

He may not feel the same way about me ... 

Continuing with me walking into the front building I always check my left to see if Newt is in the hallway. 

Suprisingly he turned out to be there. 

I was not prepared to talk to him. However, he sees me looking at him. 

My head starts to feel dizzy, probably because I didn't eat anything since after school yesterday. 

Shake it off Thomas. I tell my brain. 

Instead of going straight to my class like I usually do, I walk over to him. 

When I finally reach him he doesn't say anything to me. 

"Hey ..." I say to him looking at my toes. 

Let me mention that Newts friend is standing next to him too, noticing everything. 

"I don't want to talk." Newt shoves past me. 

Leaving his friend and me.

"You coming Jazz?" Newt says looking behind him.

Jazz, guessing that's his name, just looks at me blankly and then goes with Newt.

"What are we?" I say to Newt down the hallway.

Want to know his response? 

He says a flat, "Nothing."

When he said that I move my back from the lockers and  jog up to him.

"Newt... please." I am now in front of him. Literally pleading in front of everyone just to get a few minutes just to have a conversation with him. 

He laughs and says,

"Can you please stop following me? Usually little Sophomore girls do that. You're a junior. Grow up." He tries to get past me. 

I don't let him. 

"Did you forget everything?" I lock eyes with him.

I notice his eyes twitch a little.

Something is there. I know it!

But nope he says something I was not expecting, 

"I have many things to worry about. None of those things are you. Now please fuck off I don't want to waste my time talking to you." He gives me a glare that is a completely different expression that he has given me and walks away. 

He was acting like those big tough bullies that are in the movies. 

My heart is too broken to go after him. 

Even Jazz was shocked the way Newt was talking. 

He says to me 

"I'll talk to him." 

Then gives me a pat on the shoulder as a goodbye. 

I continue to stand in the same place where Newt left me. My heart is not even beating fast. It just feels blank. I want to cry but I know people are looking at me. Taking a deep breath I turn around and go to class. 

I will not give up yet. 

It's my fault that Newt is angry at me. 

A/N: I HAVE THE BEST ENDING FOR THIS YAYYYY! Sorry for boring chapters and grammar mistakes! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
