THOMAS POV:

I sat with Newt on the hammock I set up by the bon fire. "This is fun, I'm glad to finally have some time outside the hospital" said Newt. "Me two. Are you feeling okay? You're getting enough air right" I asked. Newt chuckled. "Tommy I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. There is plenty of oxygen down here and I have a oxygen box" said Newt. "I know, I'm just worried" I said. "Well if needed you could turn me into a zombie but for now let's have some snacks. Maybe it will take you mind off things" said Newt. "How do you like your Smores" I asked. "I know how to cook my own smore Tommy" said Newt. "I know, it's just. You're still human. Not many zombies even knee that you are here. I know they won't eat you but I'm worried that some might turn you. Let's just say we have mixed reviews of having a human down here with us. Some think it's a way of mocking us and they are wondering if they should just turn you or not" I said. I looked at the ground.

"They are just confused with what to do with you" I said. "I understand. I would feel the same way. But Tommy" said Newt putting his hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him. "I will be right there with you. I won't leave your side if it makes you feel better. And if any shank gives us klunk then we can deal with it later. After all I am part zombie. You did bite me that night" said Newt. "Sorry" I said. Newt put his hand down. "It's okay, but my neck hurt for three days" said Newt. "Ya, I held the bite mark but I forgot about the pain. I was in a hurry. But do you believe what you thought" I asked. "What" asked Newt. "I remember I could feel your thoughts. Do You believe your a horrible person" I asked. Newt chuckled. "Thomas I was bloody tired. I woke up in the middle of the night. I didn't even bloody open my eyes but no. I'm not perfect but I know I'm a good person" said Newt. I smiled. "Ya, but why didn't you open your eyes? I wanted you to see me" I said.

"I was going to tell my name and that everything will be okay" I said. "I don't know. I fell back asleep. Sometimes I wish I did open my eyes. Maybe it would of been less confusing" said Newt. "Ya, anyway uh, let's get some snacks. I asked the government for human food" I said. "Thanks Tommy" said Newt. He gave me a peck on the cheek and we got the stuff. We decided to take a marshmallow to roast and leave the rest here. I just used the zombie stuff. We got a couple stares and people felt a little uncomfortable around Newt. Almost like he is contagious with a deadly virus. I got a few questions about why I hang out with Newt and how I know him, why is he doing here, and other questions. I mostly just explained how we are soulmates. Newt and I had a few Smores and grapes. I sat with Newt in our hammock as we ate. "Does this count as a date" asked Newt. "Well I hope so" I said. "Then I guess it's a date" said Newt. "Good that. By the way I'm curious why only marshmallows to roast" I asked.

"Well what do zombies use" asked Newt. "Animal parts bit also marshmallows. Can get sticky sometimes so we roll them in flower" I said. "Oh, I thought it was sugar" said Newt. "No, but I'm curious why humans only use marshmallows. Why not cow eyes" I asked. "I don't know. I'm interested to try that but I think most humans would find that disgusting" said Newt. "That's weird, humans waste good meat. Like the penis, feet, eyes, tongue, and all the good stuff" I said. Newt cringed. "Have you had a bloody penis" asked Newt. "Ya, it taste good" I said. Newt laughed a little. "Ya well if you think that is weird wait till you hear about vegans. Most only eat plants because they choose to" said Newt. I was shocked. I never heard of shuck a thing. If they have allergies fine but why give up good meat. "Why, that's all the good stuff" I said. "They believe animals shouldn't be used as food. Vegans are interesting people. But I would like to try a cow eye smore if that's possible" said Newt. "Then I'll make the best smore possible" I said.

I gave Newt a kiss on his forehead and went to make the smore. I did receive a few questions so I told them how Newt never had a cow eye snore before. Which lead to a couple people have Newt try every zombie smore there was. It was kinda funny to watch. After the excitement calmed down Newt and I laid in the hammock. I snuggled with Newt as he started to get tired. Everyone else went back to the party. "Are you still awake Newt" I asked. "Ya" Newt mumbled. "Do You want to go back to the hospital" I asked. "No, not yet" Newt mumbled. "Okay, but a only a couple more hours. We have till 2 in the morning" I said. Newt mumbled a okay. He is really tired. I have forgotten what it's like to sleep. I slowly rocked the hammock as Newt slept. He looks so cute and peaceful. When the party was over I carried Newt back to the hospital and put him in his bed. Newt was fast asleep. I held Newt in my arms till he woke up.
