Mitch's Sister 2(PTX)

Going Back

Mitch POV

"What do you mean she is in jail???" Scott yelled.
"Scott...calm down." I said slowly.
"You have to get her out of there!"
"She can handle herself. It's okay."
"But what if she gets in a fight or somebody tries to hurt her."
"Scott.... deep breaths. She'll be fine."
"How are you not worried about your own sister, Mitch?! Do you not care at all..."
"It's not like that..."
"What if one of us was in jail? Would you care then?"
"Of course I would."
"Then why do you-"

Kevin grabbed Scott's shoulder, "Stop trying to fight. Fighting won't get her out of jail." Scott muttered a sorry and sat down.

"Can't you just bail her out?" Kirstie asked.
"What was she charged with?" Avi asked.
"Attempted murder."
"Maybe I should actually kill Steven so I can join her." Scott said.
"NO. There will be no killing, and no Pentatonix members in jail."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, I walked over and opened it.
"Mir- oh hey Mitch, have you seen Miranda?" Delaney said.
"Why are you here?"
"Miranda told me she comes here and she wasn't at our apartment. Wait you didn't answer my question."
"She was kinda...sorta..."
"Spit it out!"
"Arrested! She was arrested."
"WHAT!" Del stared at me with wide eyes.
"She stabbed Steven twice, it was self defense."
"Ohmygod..."
"Yeah, I don't know what to do."
"Bail her out!"
"I don't know if I have that kind of money."
"It can't be that bad!"
"It don't know Delaney."
"At least go and visit her!"
"Maybe."
"Look. She doesn't know it yet but she lost the internship and she quit her job. I don't know how she's going to keep up with rent, considering she has no source income." I guess Miranda never told her about the money from dad.
"I'll help her out don't worry." With that, Delaney hugged me and left my apartment.

Miranda POV
*one week later*

"When I was little, I never got to do that!"
"What can I say, I had an amazing childhood!" Josh stated. We were playing twenty questions. I never imagined making a new friend while in jail. Well... I never imagined myself in jail...

Anyways I'd be lying if I said Josh wasn't adorable. He had insanely green eyes and chestnut colored hair. And dimples, mmm. Sometimes I just catch myself staring at him. I feel thirteen all over again.

I honestly expected prison to be a lot worse. The food sucks but overall the conditions aren't bad. Everyday we endure strength training for an hour to stay healthy and well maintained.

"Hey Mirandaaaaaa"
"Yes Josh?"
"Back home... do you have a boyfriend."
"I uhh..." My mind flashed to Scott, but no we were never official.

*Flashback*
"I... I think I love you Miranda." Scott sat across from me in some random restaurant.
"Look Scott... I don't know... I don't know if I'm ready."
"Please Miranda just give a chance."
"I'm sorry Scott." I started to leave but he catch my arm.
"Miranda... I.." He pulled me close and kissed me lightly. It threw me back for a second and I didn't kiss back.
"Well if you want to get with me you're gonna have to try harder than that." I smirked.

This time I kissed him and everything around us disappeared. It no longer felt like a shitty Italian restaurant. I pulled away and smiled up at him. "Let's get out of here." He threw money down on the table and we left.

"You are such a tease." Scott said.
"Thanks."
"When are you gonna let us be official?"
"Uhhh"
"You can't keep dragging me along!"
"Then show me why I shouldn't!"
"I don't want you to play with my love Miranda." The conversation shifted.
"And I don't want to get hurt again."
"What do you mean?"
"Doesn't matter. I don't trust you yet."
"How do I fix that?" I shrugged and it was silent until he dropped me off at home. I don't know how much longer I could handle the awkwardness.

**End of Flashback**

"Uhhh Miranda...."
"No. I don't have a boyfriend."
"You sure? It took you awhile to remember."
"I am single. What about you?"
"I am too." He smiled. Over the past week we really got to know each other. He's from Texas like I am. He has three sisters and is studying to be a movie director. Well he was...

"I wish we got to know each other in a different situation." Josh said.
"I have a feeling we won't be in here long."

An officer walked up to our cell, "I have a visitor for Miss.Grassi"
"Really?" I squealed and hopped up. I was led into a room with little call booths lined up. This is so weird. I sat down in the third one and waited. A familiar face sat down opposite.

Picking up the phone, "Hi Miranda! Are you okay?"
"Hi Scott, I'm fine." Not the person I was hoping for...
"I was so worried about you."
"Don't worry, I can very much handle myself. How have you been?"
"Missing you."
"Scott..."
"That kiss..."
"I don't feel the same way Scott!"
"But... you never even gave me a chance." He looked down and wiped his eyes.
"I'm sorry Scott. I just- I met someone else."
"How can you meet someone else you're in fucking prison!?" Scott raised his voice.
"Please leave Scott, I'm sorry. I'm not the one for you..."
"You never gave me a chance!"
"It's for the better! Is Mitch here?"
"You don't care about me at all!"
"That's not true, I love you, but more in a family way."
"I'm going to fight for you Miranda." He muttered angrily.
"Scott, please...dont."
"Bye Miranda." He stood up and left. And finally, his true colors come out.

Mitch POV

"So we can either bail her out or prove that it was self defense." I suggested.
"She's too strong-willed, she wouldn't want you to bail her out." Kirst said.
"That's true. So how do we prove Steven is guilty."
"Make him confess?"
"I'm scared to go near him again."
"We could find the gun?"
"That's genius Kirstie!"
"But you'd have to go back to the farm..."
"Oh."
"You'll be fine, we'll bring Avi, Scott, and Kevin. Remember it's for Miranda."

Just then Scott burst through the apartment door.
"Woah Scott calm down."
"Your sister is a bitch."
"Scott I don't want to hear it."
"I saw her, I visited her, and all she did was break my heart!"
"You visited her? What did she say?"
"Doesn't matter. All I know is I will get her back."
"Scott did you ever think that maybe she doesn't want to go out with you!"
"Bullshit. We've kissed so many times."
"Feelings change."
"Not mine."
"Well if you calm down we might be able to get her back."

*two days later*

We all loaded into a van and drove to the farm house. Upon arrival, I physically shuttered. This is not a place I ever wanted to go back to.

"Everyone knows the plan right?" Scott said. He was definitely the most eager to help Miranda. Everyone nodded and we split up. Since I was a witness I was going with Avi into the barn itself. Kirstie was staying on the lookout for Steven, and the other two were searching the property. We all had walkie talkies in order to communicate.

I hesitantly pulled the barn door open. "Cmon Mitch, nothing is going to happen. Remember this is for Miranda." Avi placed a hand on my shoulder. Everything looked the same. Except there wasn't blood all over the ground. It was a very deja vu moment. Avi and I searched all around the hay but found nothing.

"Guys I think we found it." Kevin's voice ran through the walkie talkie

"Ohmygod, let's go!" I said to Avi and we ran out in the field toward Scott and Kevin.

"Is this the gun you were looking for?" Scott asked
"Yeah!!! That's it, now-"
"Uh guys, Stevens car just pulled in. You guys better run. Shit. Shit. He's coming towards me." Kirsties walkie talkie rang out but suddenly went silent. We suddenly heard her scream, even without the device. We ran towards the scream, which was probably a bad idea but Kirstie needed help.

"Get off of me." Kirstie muttered as Steven held her back with minimal effort.
"Anyone care to explain why you're here?" Steven said, as he glanced at each of us.
"Nice to see you again Mitch." He smiled at me but I didn't dare speak up.
"What cats got your tongue?"
"Let her go." Kevin demanded but Steven just held on to her through her kicking and thrashing. Restraining Kirstie with one arm, Steven pulled a knife out of his pocket and raised it to her neck. At the same time Scott raised and loaded the gun we found in the field.

"Scott no you'll hit Kirstie!"
"But that bastard doesn't deserve to live."
"Scott....stop" Kevin warned.

I watched in horror as a single gunshot went off and a body fell to the ground.
