I'm Safer With You -newtmas

Chapter 1

Thomas's Pov:

I wake up to a gust of wind blow into my face. I felt a sharp pain in my leg. I quickly get out of the bed I was on nervously not knowing where I am. I walk out of a little shed made of wood to see a huge ocean out in front me. I look around and see many small houses being built by many people I knew and some new ones.

I feel something touch my shoulder and turn around to see my best friend Newt leaning on me. "Hey Mate." He says softly. What's happening?!" "Where are we?!" "Why are we doing here?!" "Why does my leg hurt?!" I ask him all at once. "Calm down Tommy, I'll explain in a bit, how about we go get you some water and food and I'll explain?" He says soothingly. I nod and we walk towards where the houses are being built.

We sit down next to a fire and Newt gives me some food and water. I start eating, I didn't realize how hungry I was until now. I rest my leg on a piece of wood still not knowing why it hurts so much. Minho comes and sits next to us. "Hey you shank how you doing?" He says while smiling. "I'm okay just really confused." I reply.
Newt sees that I'm anxious to know why we're here so he starts telling me.

"After we saved Minho, you were shot in the leg by WICKED and were badly injured. But we managed to save you and get the bullet out of your leg. And we used the helicopter to get the rest of the immunes here to this island." "Tommy this is the safe haven we're safe and free." "The Scorch and flare can't hurt us anymore." He smiles as he tells me.

I look up at the sky. "We are really safe." "It's all over" I say out loud. "Yes we are." Minho says. But I see Minho glance at Newt in a sad way and Newt nods his head no to Minho.
"What's going on?" I ask curiously.
Newt looks at me in a sad way and Minho stares at the ground sadly.

"After you were shot, we were all already in the helicopter and Teresa was holding you and she helped us pull you into the helicopter you were already passed out." "And we were yelling for Teresa to bloody hurry but it was to late, a burning building had fallen on her and she died..." Newt says sighing. "She saved your life though Tommy."

I drop the food I was eating and felt a tear fall down my face. Yes Teresa betrayed us in many ways but that's not what she deserved. And she saved my life too. I felt so bad for her. I get up limping a little and Newt helps me stand. I get up and look around. I continued to cry a little about Teresa. I made it to the beach and sat down on the sand starring at the waves roll in.

After what seemed like a very long time, Newt came and sat down next to me. And looked at the waves with me. He put his hand on mine and I look at him. After a while of silence Newt says. "You know Tommy it isn't your fault as to what happened to Teresa." "There was nothing you could do." "Exactly Newt, there was nothing I could do." "She may have betrayed us but she didn't deserve that." I say. "No she didn't." Newt sighs.

We just sit there for a while Newt still having his hand on mine until everyone is called to eat. I see Brenda sitting across from me. And I also see Frypan and Aris and Sonya and many other familiar faces. Newt and Minho sit next to me and everyone starts eating next to the fire.

"What if this place isn't actually safe?" I blurt out loud enough for Newt to hear. "What do you mean Tommy?" "Of course it is, we're safe and far away from that bloody Scorch." He replies. "Yeah I know that, but we'll never know for sure what will happen next and what this place is like" "Has anyone went out to explore further out yet?" I say.

"Tommy you're just being paranoid, everything will be fine don't worry." He says and continues to eat. I eat too but something about this place is fishy and tomorrow first thing in the morning I'm gonna go out and look around and see for myself what this place really is like.

A/N: Hope that you guys enjoyed the first chapter! Sorry if it was boring I promise the next one will be way more interesting with more Newtmas :)
