Here is a multi chapter Newtmas fanfiction. New chapters will be added each Tuesday until all the chapters have been written. I hope you enjoy this high school AU.

***Trigger warnings for future chapters: Mentions of suicide, mentions of self harm.***

There was a blinding light. That was the first thing I seen, and in that moment, it was the only thing I could remember. I tried to focus myself on what was going on. I was laying down in a bed, and my head hurt like hell. I couldn't remember anything, I had no idea how I ended up in this place. I could hear people, they were nearby, just out of my line of sight. Screaming and putting up a fight seemed like the only logical thing to do. That only landed me a sharp stabbing pain in the arm. Everything went black again.

I had no idea how long I was out for, but my hearing seemed to come back sooner than my vision. Two people were in the room talking.

"Thomas should be coming round soon. We need to make sure he doesn't pull the same trick as last time. He been such and handful this pass while. Him and of course the girl as well." I had heard that voice before, but from where. I just knew they were talking about me. Me and some other girl.

"Of course Dr. Paige. I will make sure they are behaving themselves, before they are able to see him." Dr. Paige. Dr. Ava Paige. That name I had heard before.

"And when Thomas does wake up, bring his friend in. That way they will both be forced to at in a civil manner. At least for the time being." Dr. Paige said. There was no reply, but the footsteps stopped long enough to know the message had been heard.

Dr. Paige walked near my bed. "I don't know why you never seem to behave yourself. You always seem to get yourself into some kind of trouble." Her silence was filled by the humming of machines. Soon I fell asleep wondering about that boy I would see.

I few things came back to me. At least where I was, and who those people were. I was at a boarding school, and I had no family. Well no blood family. I would certainly call most of the people here that I grew up with my brothers, and Teresa. Teresa was in her own category of family. We were raised together, at the same youth home. She was different from everyone else, because we understood each other.

She was the girl they were talking about earlier. My partner in crime, who somehow always got less of a punishment than me, not that I really cared. We did cause a lot of issues, but none were super recent. I probably got hit in our most recent scheme.

Other names floated in and out of my mind. Alby, Minho, Zart. The boys I had shared a place with every school year for as long as I cared to remember. The ones that pulled me into their world of chaos.

Rachel, Aris. The two kids from summer camp. They were like us, orphans. Camp for all the children who had nowhere else to be. Somehow we found each other years ago when we were just children.

When I came around again, there was a boy in the room with me. He wasn't really watching me at all. His attention was absorbed into a book, but his hand was resting on the edge of the hospital bed. It took me only a moment to register who it was. Someone I was always happy to see.

"Newt-" It was barely even audible, but he heard it. Somehow a single word held all the meaning I had to share. Every thought and emotion he understood.

He dropped the book and in seconds I was his only focus. "Tommy, you're alright? How are you feeling?" His voice was filled with concern, but I couldn't reply to his questions. My eyes took focus on his leg.

"What happened Newt?" I gestured to his cast. He was by far the carefullest and most civil person I know. It was shocking to see that he had gotten injured. If anyone would have gotten hurt, it should have been Minho or I... which wasn't too far off. I did manage to get hurt after all.

"That's no important right now. What's important is you are okay." I couldn't tell if he wanted to hug or kill me in this moment. "You and Teresa were of doing God knows what. Someone found you outside unconscious, and Teresa was missing. I don't care if it's September, it's bloody cold out you idiot. If anything happened... Dr. Paige is not too happy with either of you."

"Great, now that I got the run down on what stupid thing I not surprisingly did, what happened to you?"

"Got chased by a dog down a steep pathway. Took a nasty fall and busted up my leg. Trust me Tommy, I'm alright."

"How's everyone else?"

"Everyone is trying to kill each other. Didn't take them too long this year, did it?"

The door to the room opened, and Dr. Paige entered the room. I felt Newt's hand grabbed the sheets of the bed tighter.

"It's good to see you awake Thomas. Newt, could you please excuse yourself for a moment. I would like to have a word alone with him. Regarding certain matters." Her voice was stern.

I knew Newt did not want to leave my side for anything in the world, but I also knew he wasn't stupid. Being taken away by force would only result in him not being allowed to see me for the rest of the day, or longer. It really depended on how long I was stuck in here.

"I'll see you soon, Tommy." With that he was gone and Dr. Paige took his place next to my bed. I was almost certain that if the walls had not been made out of glass, Newt would have been waiting just outside the door.

I had never liked Dr. Paige, of course she never liked me. But seeing as she was kinda in charge of the school I attend, I had to act civil. I had a feeling that this conversation would not be a pleasant one.

"How are you feeling Thomas?" Her voice sounded almost sympathetic.

"I'm feeling alright, given the fact I was knocked out and in the hospital."

"I'm going to assume Newt had said something to you about your current situation I presume?" I did not want her to bring Newt into this. He was not getting into trouble because of my stupidity.

"Just I was unconscious outside. Then I landed myself here." The actual events leading up to coming to the hospital faded in my mind. I had no memory of the event.

"I'm sure you are wondering why Newt had to leave the room before I could talk." I nodded and Dr. Paige continued, "See there is a reason for that, I didn't want him to hear everything I am about to tell you."

"What do you mean, Dr. Paige?" I couldn't read her expression.

"What Newt may or may not have told you about why you are here. Whatever the case it was a lie."
