perfectly wrong

twenty-seven

Regardless of what they promised to Brenda, the two boys thought that it would be best to have Teresa listen to the recording. They hated that they had to do it because she was already heartbroken and by doing this, they would be making it worse. But Teresa was like Thomas: they both let their emotions cloud their judgement and as much as she hated it, she knew that they were right. Brenda was a toxic, horrible person and Teresa should never have let her back into her life.

"I feel soo stupid." the raven-haired girl mutters, tears streaming from her ocean eyes as they finish listening to the tape.

"T, you're not stupid. There was still a part of you that loved her and frankly, you needed to burn it out." Thomas sighs, putting his arms around to hold her.

Newt couldn't help but smile at the scene in front of him. Seeing Thomas soo caring made his heart flutter. Usually, when he was right in a situation, he would act insufferable but seeing him sympathise with Teresa made him really take in the fact that the brunette had changed. He upheld his promise to the blonde and that really meant a lot to him. He didn't realise but maybe his love for him was enhancing. He told Thomas that he loved him as a friend only but seeing him in his old habits (the good ones) made Newt fall in love with him all over again.

"I just... don't know what to do now."

"I think you do, Teresa. Go to him. You've spent far too long away from each other because of me and Thomas and now, you deserve your second chance at love." Newt butts in, taking a seat next to her.

"Newt, he wouldn't want to talk to me. After what I did, I wouldn't be surprised if he hated my guts. I've tried messaging but I've got no response." she responds, half-hearted as her eyes drift to look at the floor.

"You need to be bolder than a simple text. You love him and he loves you, the whole freaking universe knows that. Speaking him face to face will reassure him, trust me. It worked for me and Tommy."

"Yes, and you went at each other's throats."

"Regardless of that, we made up. You and Minho didn't drift away like we did, you guys stayed friends. Don't lose that."

"We get it, you're scared... but so were we. Love is a scary thing but it's better to go in terrified because you'll get the best experience." Thomas adds on, his eyes flicking to Newt.

Teresa knew that the boys were right. Minho was the one that pushed himself to get Teresa the first time, she needed to do it this time. He came to her in a time of need, when she was looking for the right person to love. Minho was the right person and she wasn't going to let him go this time.

"You're right. Both of you. I need to go to him." she tells the two boys, rushing to get her shoes on. "Thank you."

"Go get your man." Thomas winks, making all three of them laugh as she leaves.

For a couple of minutes, they both sat there in silence. Fiddling with his fingers, Thomas felt silly being soo far from Newt. He wasn't entirely sure where they both stood; a few weeks ago, they couldn't stay in the same room for a few seconds without going at each other's throats. The brunette felt a little out of sorts, he loved Newt. The blonde told him that he only loved him as a friend but by the way that things are going now, Thomas could argue that that's changed.

"I should probably go. It's getting late." Newt mumbles, getting up to leave.

Thomas was soo close to finally getting the love of his life back. He let it slip away from him the first time because of his prone to jealousy and self-centredness but not this time. He had worked too hard to let the blonde slide from him again.

"Don't go just yet." he starts, grabbing Newt's hand. He screamed inside when the boy didn't let go.

"Why don't we watch the stars? Like we used to. Please, Newt?"

"For you Tommy, I would do anything." Newt smiles as he follows Thomas outside.
