I won't give up on us

"Scott, we talk. Now."

"Alex, tell me, why are you so mad?"

"Is that a serious question?!" Alex got angrier with every word he spoke.

"Alex please, you know I love you. " Scott felt terrible. Was it so obvious what he did? Mitch said he did nothing wrong, and he knows Mitch would never lie. Maybe its just a misunderstanding?

"Scott, shut up. Why are you only saying you love me when we argue?

You see Mitch every little second of your life, you always ask him for help, you always laugh about his jokes and you do everything with him. What does Mitch have what I dont have?

Just like today. Why didn't you call me? I live also here. Scott, im your boyfriend, i can open doors too. You are barely at home and i dont see you often. But it makes me sad that you dont even try to use all chances to spend the time with me. You always prefer Mitch. You have him around you 24/7 and you have enough time for him.

I also know you love me, but i kinda think you love him more." These words hit Scott straight in the face with a bus. He felt like his heart exploded.

"Alex, do you even know how much your words hurt me?" Scott said with tears in his eyes.

"Alex, your the only one I ever really loved. Sure, I love Mitch too, but as a best friend not as a boyfriend or something like this.

I wanted to let you sleep in the morning, because you came home very late last night. I thought I prepare a nice breakfast for us 3 and you, Mitch and I could spend the day together. I knew Mitch was awake so i called him, I just wanted to be nice. I'm sorry, I will wake you up next time."

"You see, 'breakfast for us', 'you, Mitch and I could spend the day together'. Scott, Mitch is not in our relationship, i want to do things with you alone."

"Alex, I can't let Mitch alone, were the only one he has, you know that."

"Guess why,..."

"Alex, thats mean. Your friends and parents accepted that your gay, his friends didn't. His parents live in Texas, and Avi, Kevin and Kirstie have their own lives. Mitch is my best friend and I promised him that I'm always there for him. If you would know what he went through, you would understand me."

"I had depressions for 4 years, i cut mysef 3 years. Dont tell me Mitch was worse."

"You know nothing!" Scott said with a cracking voice.

Mitch heard them argue and felt terrible, he thought its his fault and that both of them would hate him now and that he's gonna be alone again. He wanted to go oustide and stop them but he was too afraid of Alex because he sounds angrier that he ever was. He went to the door and tried to hear some words. What he heard made him sad. Was it all his fault?

Some tears rolled down Mitch's cheek while he searched for his big bagpack. He packed some underwear, 2 Shirts, 2 Sweater and 2 pants, his charger, his makeup and some money. He just wanted to leave.

He rushed out of the room, through the livingroom where Scott and Alex still were argueing and finally out of the door.

"Oh shit!" Scott said and run after Mitch.

"MITCH, WAIT!"
