Forever Friends?

12.

(Scott's P.O.V)

We all went home after writing down our parts for "Hallelujah " and I honestly think it'll sound great. Austin's voice really suits the song especially when he's harmonizing with Mitch.

Speaking of Mitch, yes I have not been home for Mitch recently. But I've met this really great guy but no one can ever find out. Let's just say it'll probably ruin both groups if they found out. So we'll leave it a secret and let y'all figure it out yourself.

I'm deciding I will stay home tonight. I ran away because I felt like he was starting to catch feelings and maybe I ran away from my own as well. But I feel nothing for him anymore. It was just a dumb crush. Plus I've found someone else.

I walk in and Mitch is sitting there eating and watching SpongeBob. And his eyes look a little red. Had he been crying? Was it over me? Do I even wanna know why?

I put my stuff up and walked back out. Mitch was still watching tv, in his own little world. What's up with him? And why do I feel bad? Should I? I mostly likely should. I've been leaving him non-stop over something stupid. I should've faced it head on but it's too late for that now. I missed my best friend and it seems like, he missed me as well.

I sat down beside him and that snapped him out of it. He just looked at me and smiled softly. Doesn't look too happy to see me or if he is, he doesn't show it.

"Honestly didn't expect you to come home tonight," he said and that snapped me out of my thoughts. He said that with such a hurt tone.

"Yeah, honestly missed my best friend,"
I responded and he smiled. Was this a genuine smile? Or a fake one he's trying to put on? I hope it's genuine, I reallyyyyy hope it's genuine. I don't wanna lose him as my best friend.

"Oh really? Because I was thinking the exact same thing. Is there anything else you want to tell me? Like where you've been going for this long?," he said. Uh-oh there it is. The question I didn't want to answer.

"I've just been clearing my mind. A lot has happened and it's hard to keep up. I've been spending nights in my car." I lied.

He nods, "Okay well just remember that I'm always here for you. That's what best friends are for. " Good he bought it...at least I think. He can be hard to read at times. Let's hope he did.

"Thank you, Mitch. You can trust me to talk to, too." I responded. All he did was nod and smiled and that was the end of that conversation.

He just turned back to the TV and started watching SpongeBob again. We're both man-childs so we love this show. I started watching it with him just like old times. Back when things weren't too complicated.

I really hated lying to him but I had to. I wanted to keep that secret to myself for awhile. Of course I'll tell him eventually, I just don't feel like it's the right time for that conversation. I might've made it worse by lying to him but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. He's my best friend and we tell eachother everything.

Okay, maybe not everything but you get what I mean. I will tell him... I promise but I can't right now. He'll probably freak out for not telling him the truth. I love him with my whole heart but this needs to be kept to myself for awhile. Whatever I do, I can't let him find out the secret.

Hey y'all here's another short chapter but I hope y'all enjoy anyway!! Until next time, GOODBYEEEE
