Newt's POV:

It had been five minutes and Thomas and Brenda still hadn't come down the zip line and I was starting to stress.

"Newt, he will come" Minho says putting hand on my shoulder.

"We need to head back, he's in trouble"

"Even if he is, Thomas can handle himself. He also has Brenda there with him who knows her way around. They can find another way out if they need to"

"I'm just worried"

"I know"

We wait for a few more minutes and then, my worry becomes terror as the building across the way, erupts in flames and smoke as it explodes.

"Thomas!" I yell as the building collapses. Tears sting my eyes, threatening to fall. Anger boils inside of me. He was gone. He wasn't out, he wasn't anywhere. They could still be in there for all we know.

"We need to leave now" Jorge says and starts to walk away but I grab him and push him up against a wall.

"Because of you Thomas might be dead! If you had let us go then he'd be here with us! This is your fault!" I yell as anger floods my mind.

"Newt stop! Stop!" Minho yells and pulls me off of Jorge who I hadn't realised I was choking. I was basically killing him.

"Newt you need to calm down man"

"He's gone Minho! He's gone!" I cry and fall to the floor and he tries to comfort me. Where was he? I wanted him. I wanted Tommy!

Thomas' POV:

I cough my lungs up as smoke fills the air after the building collapsed. Brenda and I had escaped down a tunnel when she had run back to grab something. I hope the others were ok. I hope they made it. Newt must be feeling so broken and distressed, not knowing where the heck I was or if I was alive.

"You ok?" Brenda asks

"Yeah, physically"

"What's that meant to mean?"

"How are we gonna get back to the others. They don't even know if we're shucking alive"

"We will, don't worry, I'll get you back to your boyfriend" she says and I roll my eyes at her lame teasing.

"Your worse than Minho, that was terrible"

"I try" she says

"Where are we anyway?"

"In a sewer of some sort. Follow me, if you wanna stay alive, we need to stick together"

But that was exactly what our group wasn't, together.
