I Will Help You

So It Settles

*A few months later*

After a couple of months of living together, Scott and Mitch decide to take a walk through the town.

Mitch: I love October!

He cheered happily as Scott followed behind the small boy.

Scott: Why? It's cold..

Scott pouted, snuggling into his jacket as they walked.

Mitch: Yeah but that means Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!!

Mitch smiled to the blonde.

Scott just shrugged as he looked around.

As the two walked, Mitch hummed, the lights of the town lighting up his angelic face.

During their time out in the town, the two were having a great time together, picking flowers to make crowns, looking at Halloween costumes and even going to the pumpkin patch. They laughed, they joked around, they even got a snack to munch on during the haunted hay ride! But all that was about to come crashing down as Scott started feeling sick again..

Mitch: You feeling okay?

Mitch asked Scott with a slightly concerned look on his face.

Scott just nodded.

Mitch: Are you sure? We can go home if you want..

Scott: I'm okay..just a little pain in my head and side. I'll be fine.

Scott insisted.

Scott: What's next?

He asked, trying to stand up straight.

Mitch: Um...we could---Scott?!

Mitch panicked as he saw his friend fall to the ground.

Rushing over to him, Mitch quickly helped hold Scott's head up as he asked a passing stranger for help. The stranger called the ambulance and within minutes, their day was gone and filled with worry.

Mitch was left to sit alone in the waiting room as Scott was being treated again.

Mitch: What is happening...

He asked himself, knowing he didn't know the answer.

Mitch: God, I really hope he's gonna be okay..

He worried.

Doctor: Mr. Hoying?

The doctor called as he walked into the waiting room.

Mitch: That's me..

Mitch called back.

Doctor: Ah, yes, okay. Mr. Grassi will heal with time. He just needs to rest.

Mitch nodded.

Mitch: Can I see him?

Doctor: He is in the room just down the hall. Room 0301.

Mitch nodded again and thanked the doctor before proceeding to Scott's room.

He knocked softly on the door before peaking in and entering.

Mitch: Scott?

He asked softly.

As he entered, he found his friend laying almost dead-like in his bed. That immediately brought tears to Mitch's eyes.

Mitch: What's happening to you, Scotty...

He whispered as a tear fell, kneeling beside him once again.
