Chapter Text
What was happening? How was it happening? He was going up in the box. Again. He felt sick. This couldn’t actually be happening, it had to be a dream.
Thomas sat on the cold floor of the box mulling over the questions flooding his head. The ceiling cracked open interrupting his thoughts. All he saw were familiar faces. Newt. Where was Newt?
“Day one, Greenie. Rise and shine.” It was the same thing that Gally had said last time.
“Fuck off, Gally.” Thomas didn’t think he should have said that, judging the silence that followed it.
“What did you say shank?” Gally looked furious.
“I told you to fuck off.” Thomas said pushing past Gally and pulling himself out of the box.
He searched for Newt among the other boys, all of which looked perplexed. That was when he saw who he was looking for and their eyes locked. Newt knew, Thomas could tell he saw it in his eyes. He was running, charging at the boy he was forced to stab in the chest. The boy he cared about more than anything. He slammed into Newt, pulling him into a hug so tight he probably broke a rib. They stayed like that for who knows how long.
“What the Shuck is happening and why is the greenie hugging Newt?” Gally questioned.
Thomas finally broke the hug and turned Gally, ”You really want to now what’s happening right now because so would I.” Thomas yelled.
“Yes, shank I would like too know what is happening and why you were clinging on to our second in command for dear life.”
“I died.” Thomas told him blandly.
“What?”
“I was shot and died. I stabbed Newt, he died, actually he forced me to stab him. The majority of everyone here is dead. I don’t know why or how I’m back here but my best guess is fucking time travel and I don’t even know how that shits possible. And
your all thinking the greenies shucking crazy.”
Everyone was staring at him awestruck.
“You are crazy.” It was Alby.
“No Alby, he’s not.” Newt said calmly.
“Newt what is going on?” Alby questioned.
“Exactly what Thomas just said.” He answered. “Wait you got shot?”
“Yeah about that, Janson shot me,” Thomas explained.
“Tommy really I die and then you have to get yourself shot seriously?”
“It’s not like I was trying to get shot.” Thomas snapped. “And you wouldn’t have died if you listened to me and stayed with Gally and got the serum.”
“What do I have to do with this?”
“Shut up Gally, we’re having a moment here.”Thomas yelled.
“You couldn’t go alone and Minho came first remember? We had to save him, that was the plan.”
“It was a stupid plan. I keep losing everything that is important and everyone. You, Teresa,Chuck, Winston and everyone else. Everyone I care about gets hurt.”
“Tommy, it’s ok. Every thing is going to be ok.” Newt said rapping his arms around the other boy.
