Mitch's POV:
I was shocked myself when Travis said I could go check up on Scott after what had just happened. His so-called girlfriend just told half the school he was gay and then practically broke up with him. I felt so bad, I had to find him. I rushed out the cafeteria, earning a few stares and whispers, but I just needed to find my Scott. I had stopped in my tracks... my Scott? That was new. For now I pushed it to the side and continued down the hallway until I hear music coming from the choir room.
I had thought Ms.Hopkins had a class until Scott's raspy voice filled the hall. I got closer and leaned against the closest locker to the doors.
"I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't..."
I had my eyes closed for the remainder of the song. He was putting so much emotion into this song, I didn't want to interrupt him... Just listen. Who was he singing that for? Bonnie Raitt's music is nothing to choose randomly, especially this song. I got up and opened the cracked door to see Ms.Hopkins next to Scott, "Scott?" They both turned to face me. I saw Ms.Hopkins leave to her private office thing, I guess to give us privacy. I went over and sat by Scott. We needed to talk.
*#*#*#*#*#*#**#*#*#*#*#*#*#**#**#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*###*#*#*#*#*
The talk Scott and I had went pretty well. We weren't arguing or insulting each other, we actually came to terms with some issues. It went so well that Scott himself told me about Kirstie inviting me to her get together in a few days. The only thing I was left worried about was why Scott was angry and who was that song meant for. The rest of the school day my mind had been on Scott. It should be on Travis since he is my boyfriend. Even if he didn't seem like it anymore.
Travis and I have been enduring relationship problems that I don't think we'll work out. We've drifted a part and everyone has noticed. I find him more like a brother to me than someone I could kiss. Maybe that's why I've been avoiding it so much! But how would I tell him the news? I could text him. Nah. I could do it in class. Nope. I sighed, I guess over my house it is.
I was at my locker by now getting my things together when up walks Kirstie and Scott. "Uh, hi?" I said as they just looked at me, until I was being squeezed to death by Kirstie. "He needs to breathe Kirstie! Heal!" Scott said attempting to help. I heard a gasp, "Did you just refer to me as a dog Scott Richard Hoying!?" I had to let out a laugh, this scene was pretty funny. "Well, if you're done, I gotta head home..." "Oh yeah. Travis' mom takes you." Scott mentioned. "Not today... or anytime soon." Kirstie and Scott looked at me "Why not?" they asked in sync. "Guys, I've been looking for you everywhere! Scotty here has caused major controversy in school." the girl they replaced me with said. "Saved by the girl! Uhm, see you in choir I guess." I said before they could get a real answer and left the school building. On my way home, I decided to text Travis to tell him meet me at the park by my house.
I was sitting on the swings when I saw him walking in my direction. "Scott what are you doing here?" I said panicking, Travis would be here soon. "I want a real answer for what's going on!" "Me too" a voice behind Scott said.
"Travis!"
