The Boy That Changed My Life

Chapter 35

Scott's P.O.V.

Twenty minutes later I still found myself sat on the ground next to the bathroom door. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to leave but something was telling me that I was safer here. Things were easier here, less complicated than if I was with anyone else. But Alex was mad, I had to go.

I filled a bag with clothes, grabbed my laptop, my phone, my wallet and my keys and went out the door. I got in my car and was suddenly stuck. I wanted to go to Mitch's but something was telling me I was safer here. I could just live in my car forever. But Mitch was the only person I could talk to right now, I had to go.

I started my car and drove down the road. I drove down each block slower and slower. What was he going to say?! I couldn't do this! You can Scott, its all good! Just chill! I stopped the car and got out, hitting the bell on Mitch's apartment.

"Hello?" It was Avi, I could tell by the fact that when the person spoke it almost sent rumbles down my spine. I suddenly felt lost for words. I couldn't figure out whether to just ask for Mitch or tell him what has happened. It was all too confusing for me. "Hello?" Avi said again. I blinked out of my thoughts.

"Sorry! Uh.... Is Mitch there?" I asked, clearing my throat. The sun was unbearably hot today and I wished that I had not been wearing sweat pants at that very moment. I could almost feel the sweat trickling down my back and I didn't know whether that was because of anticipation or the heat.

"Yeah, come on up." Avi let me in and I walked up the stairs and to Mitch's door. I knocked and it was immediately opened and there he stood. This was the closest I had got to him in weeks and I almost fell into his arms right there and then. I really needed a hug.

"What do you want?" He asked, placing one hand on his hip, the other on the door frame, not letting me in. It intimidated me. I could almost feel the negative vibes radiating off of him.

"Um.... I was wondering if we could talk." I whispered. Mitch raised his left eyebrow and stepped outside the door, closing it behind him. He really didn't want me in his place. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea! He sighed, urging me to continue.

"About the other week. I just cant stop thinking about you. I really want to be with you Mitch. You're funny and kind and beautiful. Not to mention you're a great kisser. I only told Alex that it was drugs because it was the safe way out. I really miss you. I... just...I want to be with you." I blurted out all in one. Mitch's facial expressions didn't change, nothing softened.

"What about Alex? Or are you planning on keeping me a secret, as your bit on the side." He said harshly.

"No, we broke up." I stated, looking down at my feet.

"Oh! I see what it is! He dumped you so you thought that you'd go for second best. I'm nobodies sloppy seconds Scott!" His voice was raised. He was getting this all so wrong.

"Mitch, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you the other day. I didn't mean to hurt you ever. It was a big mistake breaking up with you in the first place. I still love you. I still want you to be my one and only!"

"Well, we don't always get our own way. Knowing you, you'll probably last a week with me and then get bored. You'll want someone else. You'll go running off back to Alex or someone else. You just want me for a place to stay, a roof over your head don't you. Just cause you fucked up in your last place! You just have to tag along with anyone you can. My parents. The kids home. Alex. Now you're trying to throw yourself on to me! You broke my heart two years ago. You broke it again a month ago. You broke it a third time three weeks ago. To be honest, you're not worth my heart break! Now get out of my building!" Mitch finished. His face was red with anger. He was terrifying.

"I still love you. I've always loved you! You've changed my life multiple times. You've saved me. You've helped me. Please, Mitch." I stuttered. Mitch turned around to his door and opened it.

"I can take anymore heart break, Scott. If you're not out in ten minutes I'm calling the police. Please, just go...." He sighed, closing the door firmly behind him.

I felt my whole body slump forward, my heart sunk to my feet and my head spun. I didn't know what to do. Come back tomorrow? Where would I stay? What should I do?

I found my body moving for me. Towards my car, starting the engine. Driving the five blocks down the road. Stopping outside my apartment building, buzzing myself in. Taking out my keys and unlocking the door. Seeing Alex stood there, his eyes blotched from crying.

And then I was apologising. I was asking for him to take me back. Telling him I was sorry. I didn't mean a word of what I said but I said it anyway. I didn't know why. Maybe it was because I was scared, scared of being lonely. Scared that no one would love me, really and truly love me.

Then I found my lips connected to Alex's. I couldn't help but to want to stop it but he was firm. He was holding me still. He had a tighter grip on me than before. When we sat down on the couch, his hand on my shoulder was bolted there. Everything was different this time around.

A/N

Hey, just a quick authors note before I go. Thanks for reading. I hope you're liking it so far. One thing there may be some drama with Alex coming up and I thought I should address it. I am writing him as a fictional character, his traits in this book in no way reflect off of his traits in real life. If he is in anyway mean or abusive it is to create suspense and drama and in no way reflects on my image of him. In my opinion Alexander Kirk is probably one of the nicest people ever!

Anyway, thanks for reading! vote/comment/share
