Thinking About You

Chapter 4

Scott's POV

Mitch and I returned home fairly early. The ride home wasn't pleasant with Mitch after Alex told me the news he was thinking , Alex wanted me to move out with him.

The thought of even leaving Mitch was too much to even break down in my head ... it made me feel sick to my stomach.

I haven't even thought of telling Mitch what happened, I tried my hardest when we were in the car to remain happy and blast Beyoncé so Mitch wouldn't suspect a thing till we returned home.

I sat down on the couch and ran my fingers through my snapback a couple times before replacing it back on my head. I took a deep breath and rubbed my hands on my jeans looking down.

"Scott you okay ? " Mitch said leaning over our small little kitchen island

"No .... I'm not " I said glancing at him

Mitch's expression was full of concern and moved from the kitchen to sit beside me on the couch. Mitch then gently placed his hand on my knee and I looked up.

"Tell me what happened " Mitch said looking deep in my eyes trying to read me

I took a deep breath before saying anything, just wondering what Mitch would feel like after telling him the news.

"It's about Alex and I ... When we meet up tonight and he pulled me away , he wanted me to- to -.... move out with him ." I said pushing the words out

Mitch moved his hand away my knee immediately. He looked away for a moment and spoke.

"What did you say to him "

"I told him I would have to think about it. I don't even know why this would come to his mind." I said shaking my head

Mitch got off the couch and started walking away from me.

" I need a moment " He said walking to his room and shutting the door behind him

I was left alone in the living room. Apart of me broke inside knowing Mitch was upset and that if I moved out it would hurt our relationship , I couldn't leave Mitch he was everything.

I felt a tear fall down my face as my heart broke a little more.
I wiped it away but suddenly I realize I was in full tears ... sobbing.

Pull yourself together Scott.
I thought to myself.

I wiped away the tears that have fallen down my cheeks and walked over to Mitch's door.

I knocked.

No answer.

"Mitch ? " I said trying to make my voice sound steady

"I'm busy " He answered on the other side of the door

"Can you let me in ? Maybe talk "

No answer.

"Mitch ... Come on pease" I said trying to hold back my tears

He didn't answer. I signed and felt myself sliding down his door to the floor. I pulled my knees up to my chest and put my back against his door.
My best friend was shutting me out. My heart fell apart and I sat there and cried.

Mitch's POV

It's been a good 10 minutes since I last replied to Scott. I was upset but mostly sad. How could Alex even think of a thing. I get it they are together but Scott and I always did everything together and it wouldn't be the same if he left he was my other half.
I've been sitting against my door on the floor with my knees up to my chest... crying just thinking about it.

I decided that I was able to gather myself and wipe away my tears. I took a deep breathe and stood up.
I turned away to open my door to see Scott's on the floor with his back against the door.

He turned around and got up.
His eyes were red and puffy from crying.

"Mitch ... " He said getting up coming towards me

I moved quickly towards Scott and he wrapped his arms around my waist tight. I wrapped my arms around his neck and felt myself feel comfort in his embrace.

In that moment I could feel how Scott was broken , I felt bad for him.
I pushed myself up on my tippy toes to wrap my arms around him even more . I felt his tight grip on to me but in a gentle loving way.

We sat in each other arms for couple minutes in silent just enjoying each others company and that's all that really mattered in that moment.

Scott's POV

Later that night Mitch and I decided to watch a movie on the couch together. We still were upset about earlier and the thought of me maybe moving out.
I made Mitch and I popcorn and got a blanket and a pillow for Mitch since I always kept the apartment a little too cold for him plus a pillow for him to lie down.

I wasn't really focusing on the movie I was focusing on the fact of moving out. It felt like a hole in my heart if I left.
I know Mitch and I shouldn't cry over such a thing but we couldn't help it , we have been with each other most of our lives... It was hard.

I looked at the tv and realized we have gotten half way through the movie when I looked over at Mitch to see he have fallen asleep on the other side of the couch with his legs curled up to his chest. I smiled and took in all his amazing features.
His face looked peaceful and his hair still perfectly in tack.

I decided to move slowly from where I was sitting and cuddle behind Mitch on the couch. I made little movement trying to get behind him and bring the blanket over the both of us.

My heart was beating faster than usual and I felt warm. I felt like I had a burst of energy and could do anything. I wrapped my right arm around Mitch as he didn't move. I used my left hand to prop my head up and tried finished watching the movie until everything went black.
