Add It Up

I put a hand on her arm. "Yeah, but you'll be okay." 

She smiles at me. "Okay." She waves and runs back to the building. 

Thomas watches her leave. I wrap my arms around his waist. 

"You're cute when you're jealous." I say. 

He chuckles. "Oh, shut up." He says.

I kiss him. "It's true."

"I know." He says. "I'm cute all the time."

I roll my eyes. "Okay, Mr. Ego. We better go tell Minho we found her." 

"Yeah." Thomas says.

Then, as if on cue, Minho stomps over. 

"Why are you just standing there?" He asks us. 

"Because we found her, Minho." I say bitterly. 

He nods curtly. "Right. Where is she then?"

"She's back where she belongs." Thomas says.

Minho narrows his eyes. "Good." He leaves. 

"Alright." I say. "It's late, come on."

I make to leave but he grabs my wrist. 

"What is that dot, Newt?" He asks. "The Flare?"

I shake my head. "No, no, it's something else." 

"Fabulous." Thomas says. 

I grab his hand. "Now, please, let's go to bed." 

That night, I dream of Elizabeth. But it doesn't feel exactly like dreaming. More scattered scenes here and there. 

I wake up abruptly, sitting up. Thomas sits on the foot of my bed.

"Tommy, what on earth are you doing?" I ask him. 

"Sitting." He says.

"Okay, smart-ass." I say. "Why are you sitting here?"

"I couldn't sleep." He admits. 

"Well, why didn't you wake me up, then?" I ask, concerned. "You know I'd let you sleep with me." I sense his reaction. "Shut up." I say before a word gets out his mouth. 

He smirks. "It's only five."

"Bloody hell, is it really that early?" I ask, rubbing my eyes. He nods. "We can go back to sleep, if you want." I say. 

He moves closer to me. "I'm not tired anymore." 

"Okay." I say. I climb out of the covers. "What do you want to do, then?"

He shrugs. "I dunno." 

Then, I remember my dreams. My eyes widen.

"You okay?" He asks me.

"Fine, fine." I say. "Totally fine."

Thomas stands up. He grabs my hands and pulls me up too. I lose my balance and fall against him. 

"Sorry." I say, blushing slightly.

He kisses my forehead. "Come on."

I grab his hand, lacing our fingers together. "Alright." 

We walk out to a field. I see Elizabeth sitting in the middle, her red hair clearly visible. 

"ELIZABETH!" I shout. Her head turns. "DOES MINHO KNOW YOU'RE HERE?"

She nods. I nod too. 

Thomas pulls me closer to him. "Why are you trusting her?" He whispers. 

"Because she's given me no reason not to, Tommy." I respond.

Thomas nods. Then, he kisses me. I melt against him before remembering Elizabeth. I pull away.

"Tommy..." I sigh. "Come on." 

We walk over to Elizabeth. She looks at Thomas. 

"Hello." She says. "You know, I don't actually know who you are."

"Thomas." He says curtly.

She nods. "You're Newt's friend, then?"

"No." Thomas says sharply. I groan inwardly. 

"Tommy," I sigh. "Be nice."

She looks between us, smiling. I see a notebook in her lap.

"What are you doing?" I ask her.

"Drawing." She responds, closing the book.

"What?" I ask.

She shrugs. "Anything that catches my eye." She says, her eyes meeting mine, making my face go red. 

"I-" I start.

Then, I hear Minho shouting for us. Thomas and I run over to him. 

"Yes?" I say.

"Why have you been spending so much time with her?" He asks.

"Because," I say. "She's...interesting."

Minho sighs. "Just, be careful, Newt, Thomas. We can't trust her. Not yet."
