Newt:

Newt found himself in the passenger seat of Minho's pick up truck, at midnight, heading towards Thomas's house. After Minho had told him about Thomas's parents phsyco freak out they had decided to wait until the middle of the night to break Thomas free. Apparently, Thomas's parents had freaked out worse than they ever had. His mom had done as she normally did and tried to completely ignore the problem, insisting that Newt was just Thomas's friend, but Thomas snapped and screamed at his parents saying Newt was his boyfriend and they needed to get over it.

They didn't take kindly to that, his dad grounded him, took his phone, and forbid him from ever seeing Newt again. Apparently, Thomas was only aloud to call Minho because his mom had said Minho was a "good hetero influence," but besides the ten minute phone conversation Thomas hasn't been allowed to speak to anyone.

So now, here they were, pulling into a driveway three houses down from Thomas's. "Come on, lets go" Minho said as he got out of the truck.

Newt followed suit, they walked down the street in an awkward silence. This whole ordeal had been kind of awkward, they didn't have much in common other than their common interest in Thomas.

When they got to the house Minho lead Newt to the side of the house and stopped at the bottom of the tree. "We're not climbing that are we?" Newt asked.

"Sure are" Minho said, but then he glanced at Newt's leg. "Uh- are you going to be able to? With the limp and all?"

Newt felt his face heat up. "Slim it, I'm fine" he said as he grabbed a branch and started to climb.

"Well okay then" Minho mumbled as he followed Newt up the tree.

Climbing was harder than he thought, and Newt's leg ached. But eventually, he made it close enough that he could jump onto the roof. This whole thing was probably incredibly stupid considering it was pitch black outside and he could hardly tell where the roof started and ended, but he landed on the roof and tried to regain his composure.

Only, he didn't have time to because Minho jumped onto the roof and smashing into Newt on the process. "Shuck Minho! Haven't you done this before?" he asked.

"Yes." he said "but I'm normally drunk off my ass and climbing out of Thomas's window, not in."

Newt rolled his eyes. "Let's go" he mumbled.

They walked over to the window, which was already cracked open. Minho pushed it open and the boys crawled through it. The room was dark and Thomas was snoring. Minho grabbed something that looked like a book off the desk and they it in the direction of Thomas's bed. Apparently it hit the target because a groan came from Thomas's bed.

The lamp next to Thomas's bed flickered on and revealed an annoyed looking Thomas, but when he saw who was in his room his face lit up. Minho went over and flicked on the light. "It is true" Minho said "we, the best friends you've ever had, have come to stage a prison break."

Thomas sat up in his bed and locked eyes with Newt as he smiled. "Thanks guys" he said as he held up the book that had been thrown at him. "You could have been gentler.."

"Dude" Minho said "is that Harry Potter?"

"Um- No." Thomas said as he shoved the book under his pillow. Minho burst out laughing and Thomas threw a pillow at him. "Slim it will ya? You'll wake my parents! And at least I know how to read."

"You slim it" Minho said "now lets go." With that, they climbed back out the window and down the tree.

They piled into Minho's truck and Minho started announcing their plans for the night. "First and foremost, we're going to get Teresa. Then we're headin' down to the Deadheads creek."

"The what?" Newt asked.

"Deadheads creek" Thomas said "don't ask why it's called that, it just is. It's back deep in the woods, but it's a nice place to hang out."

"Whatever you say Tommy" Newt said.


Thomas:

Thomas sat on the dirt ground, with his arm around Newt and Minho and Teresa sitting across from them. "I'm sorry Thomas, that sucks" Teresa said.

"Whatever" Thomas mumbled.

"Don't worry Thomas, I told Teresa to bring something... cheer you up" Minho said and Teresa nodded as she started digging through her bag. She pulled out a bottle of vodka.

"Give it here" Thomas demanded. Teresa tossed him the bottle and he opened it and took a long swig.

"Shuck Thomas" Teresa said "luckily, I had a feeling that would happen." She pulled another bottle out of her bag and opened it.

Thomas rolled his eyes and took another swig before glancing at Newt. He tilted the bottle towards Newt and raised his eyes brows. Newt grabbed the bottle and took a drink, but then spit it out and started coughing.

Thomas laughed and grabbed the bottle from Newt. "Slow down there lightweight, it'll take a little getting used to" Thomas said as he took a long swing.

"You don't say" Newt said as he grabbed the bottle back and took a sip.

"Really though dude" Minho said "what're you guna do about your parents?"

Thomas groaned loudly. "Kill them" he said.

Minho laughed. "I'll support you in that" he said.

Thomas laughed. "I'm so sick of them" he said "Play basketball Thomas, get all A's Thomas, keep the 'right kind' of company Thomas, be the cookie-cutter boy we want you to be Thomas, who cares about who you actually are!" He practically yelled the last part as he took a rock and threw it into the creek.

Newt scooted closer to Thomas and put his hand on his knee. "Tommy it's alright" he said.

"No, it's not" Thomas said.

"You're right" Minho said, "but we're alright. Nothing else is, but you've got us. We're here for you no matter what."

Newt leaned over and kissed Thomas's cheek before nuzzling in head into the crook of Thomas's neck. "I know you are" Thomas said. "And that's guna have to be enough for now."


Newt:

Newt lay between Thomas's legs, leaning against his chest. Thomas's chin was on the resting on the top of Newt's head. "Teresa, truth or dare?" Minho asked.

"Dare" she said.

"Hook up with me" he mumbled as he leaned over towards her.

She rolled her eyes and hit him in the head with the half-empty bottle of vodka. He fell over on his side and groaned. "Shuck Teresa, you can't blame a guy for trying" he said, and she shot him a look that could kill. "Okaaay moving on... Thomas truth or dare?"

"Truth" Thomas said.

"How far have you gone with Newt?" Teresa asked.

Good question, Newt thought. "Uhhh..." Thomas started. Newt turned his head and looked up at Thomas who looked confused. "To be honest I don't remember..."

"Shuck you don't remember either?" Newt asked.

Teresa and Minho burst out laughing. "Shuck you guys!" Thomas said,"this isn't funny! What if we did it and I can't even remember."

"Tommy we didn't have sex" Newt said. "Trust me, I would know."

Thomas made a weird face before grabbing the bottle and downing the remaining vodka. "Alright Newtie-booty truth or dare?"

"Truth" he said.

"How'd you get your limp?" Minho said.

"Minho" Thomas said, his voice angry. "Don't."

"It's okay Tommy" Newt said. "Y'all are lucky I'm drunk enough for this." He took a deep breath and closed his eyes while he spoke. "My dad died a few years ago, and it was really hard on me. I struggled for a while and one day I didn't feel like doing it anymore, and I was out hiking, and before I knew what I was doing I chucked myself off a cliff."

Silence filled the air, Thomas's arm wrapped tightly around Newt and he snuggled his cheek against Newt's air. "Newt" he whispered, "I'm sorry."

"It's fine Tommy" he said, "I'm better now. I am."

"Good" Thomas whispered, "cause I can't imagine life without you."
