My Friends Older Brother (Mirstie)

How Did This Happen?

Mitch's POV
Kirstie and I decided to take our free day off in the cabin. Scott has been ignoring me more than ever, what's new? He's probably just jealous by the fact that I totally crushed him in the duet competition. Hey it was a fair win. As I was listening to my new song on my laptop, Kirstie comes running into my room.

"Mitch!" She said, "remember that day when we were in the cafeteria working on our duet?" I nodded, "well look at the photo Meggs took of us." she handed my a Polaroid, black and white photograph. It had us working on our song. I don't recall anyone snapping a picture of us. Wow we really were focused. I giggled at the words written on the bottom, I love him. I looked up at her as my face turned red a little bit.

"Is this your way of expressing to me that you love me of is Meggs deeply in love with me?" She giggled and kissed me. I laughed when we finally parted.

"Aw..." I started, "I thought Meggs was in love with me," she playfully hit me in the arm causing me to laugh even more. She than ran off to hang out with Scott and I was left alone, to work on my new duet with Kirstie. I opened up the lyrics I was working on and began to hum the melody. I was so focused, I didn't notice Scott quietly enter the room and sit down in my chair. When I was done he stood up and clapped.

"That was amazing!" He said enthusiastically, "I mean it." I blushed, shrugged, and closed the lid of my laptop.

"It's nothing." He scoffed and shook his head. I got up from my bed and put my laptop away.

"It's definitely is not nothing," he stated as he headed back to his room to grab something, "c'mon we have to go to dinner." I nodded and grabbed my sweater. I put it on and followed Kirstie and Scott as we made our way towards the lodge. Once I grabbed my dinner I didn't know where to sit. Usually I would go straight to the idea of sitting alone, but this time I wanted to sit with someone. I wanted to talk to someone, laugh with someone. I didn't want to be alone. Then I saw that it was just Kirstie and Scott at one table so I joined them. When I walked up and tried sitting down at the table, Scott stopped me.

"Sorry Mitch. We have a full table. Perhaps another time." Tears started coming to my eyes and I nodded my head and put it down. Than I went to my usual spot, only to find that it was taken by a group. A group of friends. And they were laughing, talking, doing everything I wanted to do with someone. As a few tears escaped my eyes as I made my way outside, to enjoy my dinner alone. When I sat down I cried. I cried till every emotion I've ever felt was out. Soon voices started flooding from the lodge and I knew dinner was over. I than found a trash can and threw all of my stuff out. Than I ran to the cabin, packed my stuff, and phoned my mom. I needed her and I needed her fast. after the first ring she finally picked up.

"Mom I need you to come pick me up from music camp. No explanation. I just need to get out of here. I'm done. I need help." And with that I gave her the address and hung up. And she didn't even say a word.
Kirstie's POV
"Scott!" I yelled when Mitch left, "why would you say that? No one was going to sit with us!" He shrugged as he ate his salad.

"I invited some people Kirst. Oh and here they come." Some new people sat with us and I rolled my eyes. I could tell Scott was trying to push Mitch away. And I didn't like it anymore. In fact I hated it. I got up abruptly and threw out my garbage. I than went to Mitch's table and found out that he wasn't there. My breath picked up and I went outside. I looked everywhere but had no success finding him. I sighed and went back inside. Soon the camp leader walks up to me and steps me aside.

"Kirstie I'm here to inform you that your cabin mate Mitch is leaving. If you'd like to say goodbye he's waiting for his mom at the reception." My breath hitched. Mitch decided to leave, probably because of Scott. I gulped and nodded my head.

"Thank you ma'am." Than I ran to the reception. When I found Mitch I ran into his arms, as tears escaped my eyes. When we let go I kissed him longingly.

"Why Mitch? Why?" I asked looking him straight in the eyes. He looked down at the ground shifting his weight.

"I can't do this anymore," he started, "I'm going back with my real mom. I might even move in with her. So this might be the last time you'll see me." And with that he hugged me one more time and headed out the door to meet his mom as her car pulled up. Little did I know, was that that would be the last I'd see Mitch for months.
