Several hours passed and the two adults never shared another word, both scared at each other's reactions to the event that took place earlier. Mercy was happy and scared all at the same time, yes, she really liked Newt and always hoped that he liked her back but now that there is an actual chance for them to be together, she was scared.

Newt was worried as well, again, he didn't know what came over him. He was shocked with himself at his actions but was quite glad he did it, he had always had a crush on the girl but never wanted to admit it. He had dreamed of the day that he would kiss her but he didn't know that it would come so soon, or that it would be when she was upset which made him even more nervous. Would Mercy think he kissed her because she was in a vulnerable place at the moment? Was she?

The walked along the streets of New York taking in the wonderful view, tall buildings scattered the area making everything around them look tiny. Mercy had forgotten all about the conversation that took place at her grandmothers, but the moment she shared with Newt lingered in her mind.

'Oh! Look a puppy' the woman squealed, a puppy golden retriever waddled over and began to sniff her ankles 'she's beautiful' Mercy smiled petting the dogs fluffy head. The owner smiled and looked at her dog, 'isn't she, I just got her a few weeks ago... her names Ellie'

Mercy smiled as she stood up and waved goodbye to the puppy before her and Newt continued walking, Newt wanted to talk to her about what he had done earlier but didn't want to make her uncomfortable. He couldn't say the wrong thing and possibly ruin their friendship forever, if he hadn't done so already.

'Did you ever have a dog?' Newt asked

Mercy looked at him, 'yes, but he died when I was five'

'Oh..' he frowned 'Er, what was he like?'

'He was a pug, he was fat because we fed him human food all the time... that's all he ate but he was still the best friend I ever had at the time' she smiled

'Did he have name?'

'Yup, Eli. I got to honour to choose his name' she giggled

'That's a nice name' he smiled

'My dads name was Eli' she shook her head as Newts smile instantly turned into a frown

'I'm sorry' he mumbled staring at the ground as he walked

The continued walking in silence for awhile, a loud beeping noise was heard while the group began to vibrate. At most, Mercy just thought it was a light earth quake but a car came out of no where right at Newt who had been walking a few paces in front of Mercy and he still had his head down as he mumbled things to himself. People screamed and ran out of the way as the car honked its horn constantly as it slid out of control coming closer towards the two.

'Newt!' She screamed panicking, she jumped at Newt quickly pulling him away just before the car made contact with a brick wall beside the two. A few bricks fell down around them as they stared at the brown car that was now etched inside the brick wall. Sirens were heard from all around while Mercy grabbed Newt before disappearing from the sense and reappearing in an alley way somewhere far from the scene.

'Are you okay?' She panicked again feeling the sides of his face

He nodded his head but she could see the fear that still lingered in his eyes, 'what if you got hurt!' She shouted

'You could of died! Then what would of happened? Oh my, what would I have done without you'

'I'm fine' he took a deep breath

'But, but, what if-'

'Mercy, I. Am. Fine.' He assured her

'I just...' she felt like she was going to cry, she's just lost many people and she never dreamed that she could of lost Newt so soon.

'I'm sorry' he whispered

'For what?'

'For what h-happened back at your g-grandmothers... when w-w left' he stuttered

'When you... kissed me?' She joined his gaze

He nodded his head, 'I know it wasn't the right time but I don't know what came over me and I-I'm sorry'

'Newt, its fine'

'But you were upset and what if you thought I was taking advantage of you or something?' He panicked

'Like I always say, Newton, you think to much' Mercy mimicked

'I hate you' he rolled his eyes

'No you don't' she smiled kissing his cheek, she backed way and noticed how big his eyes were, most likely from shock at her sudden actions.

'You loooveee me'
