"How did you know you loved him?" Thomas asked Brenda, watching Newt socialize with friends he hadn't seen in awhile. "Gally or Newt?" Brenda teased, following Thomas' gaze.

Thomas turned red, glaring over at Brenda. "Gally," he smiled a bit, letting her know his attitude was a joke. Brenda looked at Gally now, who was with Alby and Minho, probably talking about some sports team.

"Well," she watched him with a small smile on her face. "I didn't know until it was too late. Every time I was around him, I felt like I could be me. No judgement, no doubt. I felt like I was finally home every time I was able to be around him,"

As Brenda talked, Thomas watched Newt, checking off everything she said in his mind. 

He was incredibly comfortable around Newt, but also scared. He didn't want to do something wrong or step over the line, considering Newt was still with Roy.

"Thomas?" Brenda softly punched him, causing Thomas to break out of his zone and glare at her for interrupting him. "What?"

She laughed, rolling her eyes, but soon getting serious again. "You love him, don't you?"

"Love who?" Thomas tried to act like he didn't know what he was talking about, but his bad lying and crimson cheeks ratted him out. He sighed and slumped his back a bit as Brenda raised a brow at him, a small smirk on her lips.

"Yeah... I think I do."

i am so sorry this took so long & it just turned out to be short and badly written. I've had super bad writers block lately. i couldn't figure out what to write this chapter about, and I'm not sure what to write the next chapter about.

if you have any ideas, you can comment them or just PM me.
