Newt stumbled to his room, suddenly exhausted. When he opened the door, however, he saw his rest would have to wait.

"Hello, Newt. I wanted to talk to you," Leta said innocently.

"Leta, dear, is now really the best time?" Newt mumbled as he made for his bed.

"Oh, it really can't wait," Leta drawled.

"Are you sure? Because I'm really tired and-"

"You love her."

There was a cold silence. Newt blinked. "What?"

You kissed her."

"To save her life! I didn't do it because I loved her. I do, but as a friend!"

Leta raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "I see the way you look at her. Like she's the only girl in the world. You look at her like you've never looked at me," Leta complained

"She's just a friend!" Newt protested.

"No. She's closer to you than you know. She loves you back, too. Tell me Newt. Do you want to marry her?"

Newt gaped at her, but something in the back of his mind was greeting with her. "Of course not!"

"hmm. Well, the wedding is nearing in a few weeks, so I'm leaving tonight to go get the area ready and make preparations. Are you coming with me?" Leta's eyes glittered.

Newt knew if he said no, then that would prove Leta right, that he wanted to stay with Tina. But if he did go with her, then he would be leaving Tina alone, and if she got worse she could die.

"I-" Newt said desperately. "Yes. I"ll come with you."

Leta smirked. "Good. Get packing." And with that, she left the room.

Sorry for the short chapter. Should have the third done soon. thanks for reading!
