Sticks and Stones

Chapter 2- Telling Scott

Mitch POV-

I really don't want to go home to Scott. I know he'll yell at me and question me till I break down and tell him. I can't break down though. I won't let myself. He can never figure out what I tried to do. That's all I think as I drive home.

I finally got home and I feel like the drive to our apartment never ended. I just wanted to get this over with. I finally got to the door and opened it and walked inside

"I'm home!" I called into the house to let Scott know I was home. Next thing I knew I was being knocked over by Scott hugging me.

"Where were you!?" he yells at me, shaking my shoulders.

"I was just as Kirstie's house, that's all." I said, trying to sound as calm as possible.

"Are you okay?! Why did you run out as soon as I came home? You looked freaked out." I'm guessing he's actually really worried and I honestly can't help but feel guilty. I really want to tell him...but I can't, I really can't.

"Scott, honestly I'm fine!!" I lie, pushing past him.

"Mitch, I'm really worried about you! I can tell somethings wrong. Please tell me what's bothering you." he says as he follows close behind me. I start to walk into the bathroom as I whisper: "Right now you're kinda the thing that's bothering me..." as I close the door and yell so Scott could hear: "Nothing I'm fine!"

Then I take off my shirt and look into the mirror and whisper "So fucking fat and ugly...." It's the truth. I mean, looking at myself in the mirror just makes me want to...... well, you know what.

"You don't look fine Mitchie." I sigh as I hear him say that. I put my shirt back on and go back outside and start walking over to my room but he grabs my arm before I can get there.

"Mitch. Tell me what's wrong. You can talk to me. I'm your best friend. I'll always be here for you. So please tell me what's going on." I yank my arm away and start stomping to my room.

"I said I'm fine!!!! Nothing happened! I'm perfectly ok!" He looked at me skeptically as I try to hold in my tears.

"Mitch, if you were okay, then you wouldn't have literally sprinted out of the apartment as soon as I got home!!" I rolled my eyes. Why won't he just leave me alone?!

"Scott. I'm not gonna tell you again! I'm completely fine!! Please just leave me alone!!!" I give up and go into my room and slam the door and lock it. I lean against the door for a minute. I hear Scott gently place a hand on the door.

"Ok, Mitch. If you say so.... I was just trying to help. I really hope your telling the truth." He says quietly, then I hear the door to his room shut. Great, now I have guilt from going off on him like that. I sigh as I go lay down on my bed and text Kirstie.

M: Just got home, Scott is really bothering me. Just had a really close call and now he's upset with me :(

K: What happened? Did you tell him what happened?

M: No, I don't think I can :/ btw, did you find me a doctor? I want to get this over with.

K: Yeah, I have someone in mind. I'll make an appointment. Is tomorrow at 1 okay for an appointment?

M: Yeah, I can do tomorrow. I really just want to get this over with.

K: What happened with Scott?

M: He was just being overprotective and annoying cuz he wanted to know what happened but I said that I was fine and stuff and him being the diva he is, he got annoyed with me not telling him and went to his room. He sounded really upset :(

K: Oh, well im sorry about that! U know how he is, u know hes just trying to help. im sure he didnt mean to be annoying :)

M: ik. im just not sure what hes thinking or doing. like im really scared i made him mad or something and its making me feel like shit and i want to cut rn but hes home and idk

K: Mitch, please don't cut! theres no reason to do that just because u dont know what scott's thinking. theres no reason to do it at all! youll feel better when you see Dr. West tomorrow. hes the best i could find.

M: I want to go talk to Scott but idk what to say. like im not gonna be like "hey, Scott! sorry i ran out earlier and was being a bitch! its just that i was attempting suicide and you came home so i ran to kirsties house! :D but im okay! im going to a therapist tomorrow!" ugh, i just dont know what to do or say

K: Why dont you just tell him whats going on, but in a gentle way? im sure he'll understand and i know he'll want to help you in any way he can

M: I'll think of something, but I'm really scared that he might be mad at me.

K: Just go talk to him. I'm sure he's not mad, just worried about you.

M: Okay. I'll go talk to him, tell me when you make the appointment and give me the details

K: I will! love you girl <3

M: Love you too <3

After a few minutes, I finally decided to get up and go talk to Scott. I walk out of my room, over to his and knock on his door. "Scott?"

"Yes?" I hear him say and sniffle like he's been crying. Hearing him sniffle makes my heart break.

"Can I come in?" I ask.

"Yes." He said softly. I walk into his room and see he's laying on his bed face down.

"Scott?..." I walk over to his bed and he lifts his head. "Are...Are you mad at me?..." I ask as I look down at my hands.

"No, I'm not mad... I'm just really worried about you. You've been acting strange lately and it's making me worried..." he says, causing a rush of guilt to take over me.

"I'm sorry...but I'm okay Scott. Don't worry." I say and put on a fake smile and Scott smiles back at me.

"Don't be sorry, Mitch. I'm not mad at you, but you can't just scare me like that, I thought something was really wrong." He said, giving me caring eyes that made even more guilt wash over me.

"Sorry, I'm ok though. Thank you for caring." I say as I pull him into a hug.

"Hey, that's what friends are for!" he let me go and gave me a playful grin. "Want to go get some coffee?" He asks me. That question was the best thing I've herd all day.

"YES! Mama hasn't had her coffee today and it's taking a toll on me!" I say trying to sound as happy and enthusiastic as I can.

He laughs. "I could tell! See! I was looking out for you! That's what friends are for!!!!" He stands up and begins to walk away to the front door.

"Yeah.... Just friends..." I mumble to myself as I get up to go follow him to the coffee shop.
