Broken

Bonfire

After several minutes of kissing, Thomas and Newt finally broke apart. Thomas couldn't help but smile. The gaping black hole that had been inside him for months was now filled with light and love.
Thomas had always felt a connection to Newt, one that he could never understand - until now at least. He loved him. And Newt loved him back.
"Should we tell our friends?" Thomas asked.
Newt frowned for a minute, "yeah I think we should. Tonight at the bonfire."
"What bonfire?"
"The bonfire tonight, to celebrate the 'resurrection of the dead'," Newt said over dramatically.
Thomas laughed, "okay, we'll tell them then." Thomas felt a twinge of nerves, but these people were his friends, he knew they would understand. Or would they?

That night after a delicious meal, that Frypan had cooked, everyone sat around the fire. Everyone had a smile on their face, and why shouldn't they? For once they could be happy and safe, without worrying about WICKED or trials and Variables. They could just be happy.
Newt nudged Thomas and he knew it was time. Butterflies erupted in Thomas's stomach, here we go, he thought. Thomas heard Newt take in a deep breath and Thomas couldn't help but do the same.
"Guys!" Newt shouted over the commotion. "Tommy and I have an announcement to make. We're in love." Newt grabbed Thomas's hand and squeezed it. Everyone around them was staring. Worry crept into Thomas's gut, he couldn't cope if his friends didn't approve of them.
But after a terrifying silence Minho spoke up, "well it's about bloody time! You shanks have been lovey dovey since you saw each other's shuck faces." Thomas grinned, others had began to say somewhat of the same thing. But three people caught Thomas's eye, Brenda, Alby and Teresa. They sat scowling and glaring at the couple. Before Thomas looked away, he saw Teresa and Alby whispering, never taking their eyes off Thomas and Newt. What the hell, Thomas thought.

Thomas didn't mention anything to Newt about Alby, Teresa and Brenda, because he didn't want to worry him. After the bonfire everyone had gone to bed and Thomas and Newt lay together, in each other's arms under the stars.
"I love you," Newt whispered.
"I love you too," Thomas whispered back.
He heard Newt chuckle and kiss his cheek. Thomas smiled.
Just before Thomas fell asleep he saw the scowling faces of Alby, Teresa and Brenda. What was their problem? He guessed he would figure it out tomorrow.

Hey everyone! What do you think about this chapter? I actually planned it out before writing it, for like the first time ever. Alby, Teresa and Brenda don't seem very happy, do they? I guess we'll find out!
