Scott's POV*
"Mitch, I'm back from my doctors appointment," I said as I walked through our shared apartment. "Oh, okay. Come sit and tell me how your appointment went," Mitch said patting the space on the couch so I could sit next to him. "Well..." was all I could come out of my mouth before bursting into laughter. I had planned the perfect April Fools Day trick on him so I am not going to ruin this.
"Go on," Mitch said gently. "Well, I told them that I haven't been feeling myself lately, and I've felt different. They gave me a check up, and told me something was a little off about me. They said that I had something wrong inside my body," I said as I grabbed my best friends trembling hands and squeezed them. This was going great so far.
"So they said that they had to get a specialist to see what was really wrong. So the specialist found out what was really wrong," I said looking at Mitch as he was beginning to breathe heavy. "He said that I have a horrible disease that is not contagious... but deadly." I looked into Mitch's sad eyes and started to feel bad. I shouldn't do this to him, but in the back of my head... I think I should.
"So what does that mean," Said Mitch looking me dead in the eyes. "Well Mitchy," I said and faced him still holding his little hands. "That means... I have only 5 months to live."
Mitch looked up at me with his watery, big hazel brown eyes. His lip started quivering and jumped into my arms." How could this happen to you," he screamed through sobs. "You don't deserve any of this! You can't die, Scott!" He screamed falling to his knees. Now I felt bad. Really bad. But I set him in my lap, cradling his small, shaking body. "Shh... It's going to be okay... I promise," I said rubbing his back. "No it's not, Scott! You can't die! We all love you too much for any of this to happen to you. We need you. Our fans need you. Your family needs you. Even little Wyatt needs you. I need you."
I was shocked I didn't know Mitch felt this way about me. Even though is was a pathetic prank that I will regret later, He felt that way about me. I never knew those words would come out of his mouth. "Mitchy... I'll still love you. I'll watch you, and make sure you get the best that you truly deserve, and I'll still be with you. You are an amazing person Mitchey and you deserve the best in the world. And when I'm gone... I'll still be watching over you," I said sweetly in Mitch's ear trying to make him calm down. But he kept crying into my chest.
"I'm just really gonna miss you, Scotland. Your my best friend, you've helped me through a lot. You taught me how to be strong, and ignore the fact that some people hate me. You tell me every morning that your so lucky to be my best friend, and even though I might not say it back to you... I'm lucky to have you too. Well maybe I'm just not ready for you to leave," he said through more tears. I pulled his body close so he was on top of me. I kissed his nose and he said,"I'm going to miss your kisses even when you don't mean them at all." We locked eyes for a second then he leaned in. What was I supposed to do! I couldn't let this beautiful person not be kissed. Then it happened.
When our lips touched, it felt like magic. His lips tasted like strawberries and heaven. I tangled my fingers in his hair as he pulled our bodies closer together. "Mitchy?" I murmured against his lips. "Mmmm?" "Did you forget what today was?" I said, still not breaking the kiss. He didn't realize it at first, but when he did he slapped me hard in the face. "You literally made me cry for nothing, Scott?!" Mitch said Angrily, but couldn't hide the smile playing on his lips. "No, You cried for me!" I said lightening the mood up. "I cried in front of you! I don't usually let people see me cry."
"You still look beautiful even when your crying, Mitch." He blushed. "Just please don't ever trick me like that. You really scared me. I just couldn't imagine life without having you in it," he said wrapping his little arms around my waist, and nuzzled his head into my chest. "Awww!!! Mitchey!!!! " Was all I could say. I was speechless. I never knew he felt this way about me. Did this mean something to him as much as it means to me? Did he even love me like I did? My heart was about to explode out of my chest.
"Scott. Calm down. Your heart is beating so fast," he said laughing a little. I love his laugh, and he knew it too. "How did you know that," I said slightly embarrassed. "Sometimes, when we and watch movies, you fall asleep accidentally, and I cuddle up to your chest, and fall asleep to the sound of your heartbeat. It has always calmed me down," he said as my heart was beating even more. " And sometimes, when I got lonely, I would crawl in your bed with you, and sleep with you so my loneliness would stop. And it stops because I'm with you. And imagine if you really were to die. I couldn't stand your heart not beating anymore. I love you Scott always have, and always will," he said planting a kiss on my chest where my heart is.
I pulled his chin up with my finger and cupped his cheeks to pull him into another sweet kiss. "Mitchey, I Promise I won't scare you like that again." I said as I held out my pinkie. He laughed at my Childishness and held out his pinkie and wrapped it around mine. We kissed each other's pinkies and said,
"I promise."
