The Boy Next Door

Chapter 30- Removing Aliza

Mitch's Pov-

I sat on the couch waiting for Aliza to come back and rejoin me in our Netflix marathon. When it took her more then 2 minutes to answer the door I went to go and find her.

"We're workers from the South Arizonian orphanage and care home. We need you to come with us." A woman said. I stopped behind Aliza and spoke up.

"Whats going on here?" I said, making Aliza jump and the woman frown. Aliza turned to look at me, fear in her eyes.

"We're workers from the South Arizonian orphange. Aliza Frost has to come with us as she is a minor with no parents living without consent in America. Who might you be?" The man stated, narrowing his eyes at me.

"Mitchell Hughes" I answered, folding my arms and narrowing my eyes back at him.

"Right okay, well Miss Frost will be coming with us." He said.

"Wait, why are you taking her to Arizona? Why not take her somewhere closer?" I questioned quickly as they went to take Ali.

"Because no orphange around here wants to take in a 17 year old British kid. Plus we have been instructed to take her the the South Arizonian orphange. I'm sorry Mitchell and Aliza but we are only doing our job." The woman said formaly.

Aliza looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "Could you give me a minute to say goodbye then?" She asked. They nodded and we walked into the living room.

I pulled her close to me and she let out a sob. "Mitch I don't want to go, I don't want to leave you guys" She sobbed.

I didn't say anything but held her closer to me. "We nedd to leave now Miss Frost" The woman yelled into her house. I let Ali go from the hug and kissed her on the lips before she walked back to the door. The woman grabbed her arm and Aliza started to speak again.

"Wait! What about my stuff?" She questioned.

"You'll get new stuff In Arizona. Don't worry about it. Im sure Mitchell here can take care of this place." The man asnwered. I was started to grow to hate this man more and more everytime he spoke to either one of us, or just spoke in general.

"O-okay. Good bye Mitch" Aliza said quietly as they started to pull the door closed. Through the crack of the door I saw Aliza's tear filled eyes as the door shut between us.

I turned around and sank to the floor, breaking out crying, begging her to not go. But I was too late, The car started up and I listened as it drove away. Please don't leave me.

Aliza's Pov-

I watched as my house grew smaller and smaller the futher away we had gone. Mitch had said nothing to me in my last moments of being in the house with him.

Maybe... just maybe I'd get to see them again, If I could ever find my way back to him before he moves on to someone new.

The thought of being adopted and taken even further away from the Team Crafted boys anbd friends made me want to curl up small and die in a corner somewhere. Was this what Hell feels like? Probably.

I wanted to reach out, to wake up next to Mitch on the couch to find that this was all a dream and that I'd fallen asleep during Alice in Wonderland. But after piniching myself hard, I came to the bitter conclusion that I was wide awake and this was no dream. It was a living Nightmare.

They were removing me from my own house, from my friends- no my family.

And I never got to tell anyone of them apart from Mitch goodbye. All they would remember me by now is an angery teenage girl storming out of rooms after a heartbreak issue with her best friends.

I couldn't even comfort Adyson anymore since I wasn't around no longer.

My thoughts travelled back to Mitch and him moving on. I let out a small quiet sob in the back of the car and curled up small on the seat. Please don't leave me.
