Newt grabs his guitar, the roaring sound of the crowd reaching an all time high in Mystic
Grill.
He stole a glance outside of the curtains- crowds of people, Well for newt 30-40 people is much more than his usual 5 watchers watching them in some random car washes.

As he began to wear his guitar strap a random crow came over to the window and began to start cawing whilst looking straight at Newt.

Newt started walking towards the open window too shoo away the crow

The crow, As it saw Newt coming over flew away immediately making a gust of wind fly towards Newt.
Newt closed his eyes to protect himself from the dust and debris coming towards his eyes.

After Newt had opened his eyes and was turning around to go on stage with the rest of the other members, Behind him was Thomas, the drummer of the band. He had slightly messy hair. It made Thomas look like he hadn’t slept as he was too determined on this show.

The sudden appearance of Thomas made Newt squeal over Thomas’s sudden appearance.

“AHH!” Newt yelled, Whilst making a shocked face. “W-what are you doing don’t do that again I would've hit you with my guitar!”

“Now why would you hit such a handsome person like me?” Thomas said with a hint of sarcasm. Newt slaps Thomas, “Handsome is a very subjective word for someone like you!” Newt replied, “Why are you even here? Did you need something?. Newt asks. “The show’s about to start” Thomas replied while rubbing the part of his cheek where Newt slapped him

Newt grunts but couldn’t hold back his smile as this is his first ever real concert he will be performing in, “Fine let’s go”. He starts following Thomas to go on stage, the crowds start to grow louder as he begins to walk closer to the stage.

As they took a stance on stage, Newt’s heart couldn’t stop pounding, A flush of nervousness came flying into Newt’s mind- This was Newt’s biggest performance he has ever performed.

ꕥ

Newt’s little crush had come over to watch Him, Newt’s heart couldn’t stop fluttering after he had seen him, the nervousness in his heart was flushed with a new feeling. ‘Love’.

Newt looks behind him to see Thomas, Something felt off about Thomas, As Newt double-checked Thomas’s appearance he saw a pair of fangs in Thomas’s teeth but as he blinked the fangs we’re gone?

Newt thought that his nervousness had gotten him too hallucinate. Newt began too look to the crowd then his bandmates, Which consisted of:
Minho plays the guitar with me to be specific he plays the chord.

Gally plays the piano, Even though he has a harsh attitude, he can surprisingly play the piano very well.

Teresa She’s the official/Unofficial Leader of the band, Minho says she has the voice of an Angel but Newt doesn’t know if that was a real or just a flirtatious comment.

Thomas plays the drums he’s kinda mysterious, he joined the band less then a month ago, After finding us performing in a random car wash.

Then there’s me. I play the electric guitar and I’ve been playing this instrument since I was 8, and not to brag, but I'm pretty good.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──────

The first chords rang out, The crowd's cheering began to intensify, Newt’s nervousness and self-doubt all went down the drain and Newt’s focus intensified, His fingers going as fast as they could while also listening to the notes in case someone changes it.

All he cares now was to Ace this performance, it had always been a dream of his to play the guitar worldwide this was one step closer than before.

Minho glanced at Newt, “You're doing great Newtie!”. Minho said with ecstaticism in his voice. Newt smiled happily and responded, “You're not doing bad yourself Meanho”. Minho smiled at the comment and continued playing his part.

“Hey Newttt, someone looks jealous” Minho said to Newt whilst pointing at Thomas.

“Huh?” Newt had been looking at his crush, Alby.

Newt looks behind him and sees Thomas looking at him and Alby with a hint of Jealousy in his eyes.

“Maybe he’s looking at someone else?..” Newt responded, trying to avoid conflict with them both.

Alby sees Thomas eyeing his crush and makes a ‘death stare’ look into Thomas.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

After the performance had concluded Thomas and Alby began to fight backstage, Alby had started the commotion after he had seen Thomas eyeing Newt.

“What the hell is your problem man!” Thomas said after Alby had punched him in the stomach.

Alby acknowledge Thomas’s pain and responds with

“My problem? you’ve been eyeing my little bf for too long.”

Thomas huffs and rolls his eyes.

“Your boyfriend? The last time I checked you're still a virgin and still single.”

Alby tries to punch Thomas in the stomach again but misses

“CALM DOWN YOU TWO” Newt says with anger in his voice.

Teresa,Minho and Gally tries to seperate the two after finishing thanking the people who watched their performance

Minho holds down Thomas while Teresa and Gally holds down Alby

Teresa begins to speak “What happened here” She looks at the two.

The silence was loud.

Alby huffed but before he could speak Thomas cut him off.

“This ‘Guy’ was punching me in the stomach cause I was looking at his dumb bf!” Thomas answered, then he pointed at Newt.

Newt sighed and responded “He’s not my boyfriend, he’s… You know what I’m so done with this stupid argument.

Newt walks away from the grill/bar and starts heading back home, His emotions returning back to quietness.

After a day of hard work Newt opens the door to him and his grandma’s home.

Chapter Text

As Newt pushed the door open, a sudden feeling rushed over him, a negative one.. The house was quiet too quiet..

Newt runs across the house trying to find something and he does.

“GRAMS! Newt screams, He begins to try and wake her up by gently shaking her body but to no avail, He checks for a pulse in her wrists and he finds one, thankfully..

Newt rushes to his pocket grabbing his phone and dialing 9-1-1 in a rush.

“Hello 9-1-1 responding, what’s the issue?” The first responder says with a hint of tiredness in her voice,
“Hello?! My grandmothers’ unconscious, please get someone here quickly!!!” Newt says with a very scared and teary voice.

“Sir i need you to stay calm, Can you tell me your address, your name and your grandmother's name”
The Responder now has a hint of focus in her voice as she now sees the situation behind the call.

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

A few hours have gone by and Newt wakes up in the hospital room, his grandma sitting down in her hospital bed whilst reading a magazine.

Newt comes up to her and hugs her tightly, She smiled at him before embracing his hug and kissing his forehead.

“You scared me grams thought I was gonna lose you!” Newt began to tear up and little tears had started forming in Newt's eyes, but his grandma wiped them off his cheeks.

Newt’s grandma tried to talk to him but was disrupted by Thomas's sudden appearance. Thomas had looked like he had run through a storm, His hair was wet and messed up, His clothes started to tighten showing the outline of his chest.

Newt was surprised by the sudden appearance of Thomas but quickly remembered the incident a few hours ago and his face became more of ‘What do you want’.

“What do you need.” Newt said in an annoyed voice.

“I heard what happened to your grandma, I just wanted to comfort you.”. Thomas replied

“I don't need anyone to comfort me, Thomas.” Newt said still with a mean/sassy attitude,

“Sorry..” Thomas walks away but waves goodbye to Newt’s grandma like he knew her…

“Newtie don’t be so harsh on him” Newt hated that nickname it was the last thing he heard before Newt’s parents died in front of him in a car crash, Newt remembered it like it was yesterday remembering a sudden flash then suddenly seeing his parents bloody and their faces looked like it was about to rip from their skull..

“B-but-” Newt was soon cutoff by his grandmother

“No buts Newt, apologize to him I just know deep down he regrets everything he did, even though i'm just guessing you both got into an argument?” Newts grandmother asked

“Yes but that’s beside the point” Newt replied

“What did you wanna tell me about?” Newt ask his grandmother curiously

“Nothing Newt..” His grandmother responded

Their once again interrupted by Newt’s badmates rushing to his grandmother’s hospital room, Gally was holding Thomas dragging him inside.

“What are you guys doing here?!” Newt says in a confused/shocked expression

“Thomas told us what happened to your grandmother.” Teresa replied

“Wasn’t expecting but whatever” Newt said

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

After a while of talking with Newt’s grandmother and seeing Newt’s baby pics.

Thomas thinks Newt ages like wine; he looked like he had only grown 2 years after these pictures were taken.

Minho invites them to the grill for some odd reason, probably because Minho wanted to flirt with some random girl at the bar and will be rejected soon enough.

Newt tries to reject the offer but his grandmother gives him a nod and Newt sighs and begins to follow behind Minho.

He feels a tap from his shoulder, He looks up and sees Thomas.

Newt mentally sighs.

“I'm Sorry about yesterday..”Thomas sounds like he's about to cry

“It's fine Tommy..” Newt replied and turned around again to look forward.

Thomas sighs and scratches the back of his head.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

As they reached the grill Minho instinctively began to flirt with the bartender/schoolmate brenda.

THOMAS POV

He was internally screaming at himself for fucking things up with Newt.

He sat alone in the grill and began to intensely stare at Newt and Alby sitting together.

He wanted to fucking punch Alby straight in the face, He clenched his both his fists but stopped after coming back to his senses.

Minho came over to Thomas after missing every single shot he had with the ladies.

“Sigh..” Minho said

Thomas turns his head

“What is it now Minho? Did no girls like you” Thomas asks, covering his smile with his hand.

“What’s funny about it!-” Minho said before seeing his shot with another group of girls coming to the grill.

Minho runs up to the group of girls leaving Thomas again, Thomas was now alone with his thoughts and ways to brutally punch Alby, Stomach,Eye? or maybe his pe-

He was soon interrupted by someone.

•┈••✦ ❤ ✦••┈•

BACK TO NEWT’S POV

Newt admired everything about Alby, his eyes, body, skin, lips, EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM WAS PERFECT, For newt obviously.

His daydreaming was sooned interrupted by Thomas who looked like he was in a rush

“Your grandma Newt.. She’s in critical condition..” Thomas said with pity

Newt stared at Thomas hoping it was a joke but it wasn’t his heart fell.

Newt runs to the hospital, Thomas just right behind him.

As he reached his grandma’s room she was being transferred to the ER for surgery.

Newt and Thomas could only wait in the waiting room hoping that Newt’s grandma would be safe after the operation.

As Newt tried to sleep he couldn't. All he did was watch as the clock tick and tick and tick.. before finally..

Newt Sanders? Anyone named Newt Sanders?

Newt jolted up and ran to the front desk.

“Any new info?” Newt asks.

Please head to room 213, Doctor Fry wants to speak to you about your grandmother’s condition.

Newt starts running to the room while also praying she was fine.

As Newt opened the door, the doctor told Newt to wait outside.

As the doctor approached Newt began too asks the doctor multiple questions.

“Is she okay?! Will she live?! Will she-” Newt was silenced by the doctor.

The doctor responded “The surgery went well, But her condition will not get better, She’s gonna die kid. To be specific tonight.

Newt’s heart shattered to millions his heart pounded faster and faster.

“W-why..” Newt begins to sob, Thomas hugged Newt and the doctor leaves the area

───※ ·❆· ※───

A few hours had gone by, Thomas had already left, his mother had already scolded him for staying too late.

“Newt..” His grandmother speaks but now more softer and quieter

“Yes ma?” Newt had stayed with his grandma for so long he usually calls her his ‘’ma’.

“There's something we need to talk about.” His grandma said with a serious tone.

Newt raises his eyebrows in confusion.

“What is it grams?” Newt says trying to guess what she will say

She sighed deeply, placing her hand on Newt's shoulder “I should’ve no We should’ve told you sooner… Your parents tried to tell you, "It's time you know the truth about our family lineage.”

Newts look confused “What truth..?”

His grandmother looks at Newt trying to think of something, “Newt you come from a lineage of witches.. You are one too..”

Chapter Text

Newt's head was all over the place after that statement from his grandmother.
"Listen Newt.." His grandmother said frailty
"WE wanted too protect you, but after your parents death... Things have followed you." Newt's grandmother said in a serious tone
"Things..?" Newt says in a confused manner
"Someone or a thing has been following you. Your parents tried too tell you but they sadly were too late.." Newts grandmother responded
"Newt," his Grandmother said, her words infused with emotion but firm, "There isn't much time left for me, so listen to me carefully." She took a shaky breath, "You have power. You just need to believe in yourself, Newt."
Newt looked at her, his heart beginning to race, but he was unable to get a word in as she continued speaking.
"None of these people can be trusted," her piercing cold gaze seared into him. "Only you can be trusted. This world... it's dangerous - far more than you know. I need you to promise me something, Newt. I need you to promise that you will be careful."
"What if I mess up?! Please don't leave me alone" Newt says in a shaky teary voice
His grandmother wraps her hand into Newt's
"Every one of us makes mistakes. And you know I will always be here with you, Newt.." She says in tired voice
With one last breath, She squeezes his hands, Before finally closing her eyes peacefully. Newt couldn't react, all of this information was running all over his brain before finally..
BEEP...
﹌﹌﹌﹌

Days passed quicker than ever Newt's been ignoring texts and calls of his friends before he knew it he was already at his grandmother's funeral.
The tears that had been welling in Newt's eyes came pouring out as he addressed the people gathered in front of him. He could not find any words to speak, more so because of the grief that came because of his grandmother's death. No words were coming out as Newt attempted to speak; all he could hear was silence. It appeared as if he was losing control of every emotion.

Thomas was already upon him as he staggered backward, then sunk into his chair. The only things able to make contact with him were the expectations and judgements stemming from the people that made up the crowd in front of him. His eyes were fixated to the ground, and hands rubbed on his face as Newt attempted to conceal himself from the world. Sinking further into the eyes of the crowd had begun to burden Newt with emotions that were not meant for him.

Thomas offered a hand to Newt. Newt and Thomas began walking to their chairs.

Newt sat in his chair, his hands were shaking. The awfully quiet murmuring made Newt shake in nervousness he began to think the whispering and chatting were about him, How could be so stupi-

His thoughts were soon disturbed by Teresa who tapped him in the shoulder.

"Are you okay Newt? I know it must be hard for you, but you're not alone okay?"

Teresa's words made Newt burst into tears and he hugged her tightly.

Teresa, shocked by Newt's action, only patted his back.

■□■□■□■□■□■

Newt awakens in Thomas's car; he only remembered that he cried in his chair before suddenly blacking out.

"Thomas? Where are we going?" Newt ask curiously

"My house." Thomas responds

Newt has never gone to Thomas's home; they were never that close with each other, only associated by their band.

After drifting back to sleep Newt found himself being awoken by Thomas

"Newt wake up!, Sorry I couldn't take you back to your house, you've never really told me and you kept falling asleep and I didn't want to bother you" Newt began to scan Thomas's place.

"YOUR RICH?!"Newt says in shock

"Comfortable at most.." Thomas says while scratching the back of his hair

Thomas still lived with his parents, His dad was the mayor of this town. Thomas's family had came here from England and for generations had settled down in Mystic Falls.

Thomas's house was bigger than the average suburban houses in the neighbourhood, They definitely were not just comfortable they were loaded.

"If this is a 'comfortable home' then my home must've been free housing from the government.. Cause this is...Big.." Newt couldn't keep his jaw down. Thomas's house was immaculate.

Thomas chuckles

"Come on, let's get you inside. It must've been a hard day for you.." Thomas makes a hand gesture telling Newt to follow him.

Newt then starts to remember everything his grams had told him the days prior.

As Newt entered Thomas's house he seemed to have lost Thomas as he was too busy thinking about everything that had just happened.

"Thomas!" Newt screams loudly

No response.

For a big house like this and the eerie silence made it much more creepy..

As he walked up the stairs, Newt suddenly felt a tap in his shoulder, Thomas was behind him?

Newt jumped backwards as he didn't see Thomas behind him even though he had looked back 1000 times just to make sure Thomas was there.

"Don't keep scaring me like that!" Newt said

Thomas giggled

"Your so funny when you get scared" Thomas responded

Newt rolls his eyes

"Come let me take you to my room."

Newt followed Thomas, He opened his phone and went to instagram.

Still no response from Alby, Newt sighed and began messaging Alby.

Really it's been 2 weeks and you keep leaving me on read, You didn't even come to my grandmother's funeral. Was that kiss for nothing?

Newt hesitantly close his phone before looking forward.

★・・・・・・★

"So you never really told me where you came from before, well all of this" Newt ask curiously

"Long story short I've been here my whole life just home schooled and only started public school this year" Thomas said unconvincingly while also scratching his back.

Newt knew that was a lie but he didn't want to investigate further as there only 'Friends'

"How about you Newt?" Thomas questioned Newt

"Oh.. I came here when I was 10. I'm actually from California but I moved here since my parents wanted to move somewhere close to my grandmother but a year later.."

Newt began to lose his ability to speak after talking about his family he had suddenly remembered he's Alone now.

"Let's play something? Uh.. Do you like nintendo.. or computer?" Thinas was trying to keep Newt from crying by changing the subject.

Newt wipes the tears off his cheek and begins to giggle

"It's fine Tommy, Let's watch something if you're down for it?" Newt smiles while talking

"What do you wanna watch?" Thomas said happily

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

"See you Tommy!" Newt waves goodbye

Thomas waves back

"SEE YOU!" Thomas scream back

Thomas closes the door with a smile in face.

Thomas begins to go into a room supposedly 'locked by his parents'

"Here you are.."

Thomas grins wickedly

A muffled scream is heard
