I Can't Lose You

Chapter 4

*Mitch's P.O.V*

"Scott's seeks first!" Everyone in the room say's at the same time while Scott yells my name. Ha ha Scott and I know you heard that to. He looks at me and sticks his tongue saying, "Mitch I did to hear that. For your information Diva." I look hurt and put my hand on my heart and gasp. "What do you mean you heard that. I am not a Diva for your information." I shoot back. "Hello guys. We going to play or not." Esther says then grins. "Yea and Scott count to twenty and you have some rules to follow." I say looking at Scott. His mouth drops open in a playful way. "Rule 1 you can not read our minds." Kirstie says. "Rule 2 you can not teleport." Avi says with a smile. "Rule 3 no one can tell you where we are." Kevin says looking around the room at everyone. "Ok ok dang ruining the fun people." Scott says in a diva way, with his hands on his hips. "Ok diva count please." I say to him and turn to walk to my hiding spot. Kirstie goes to the kitchen, Avi goes to the bathroom to hide in the shower, Esther goes in Scott's room, Kevin goes upstairs god knows where, and I go to my room and get in my huge closet. I sit in the closet after closing it. " 17, 18, 19, 20, here I come!" Scott shouts. almost instantly I hear Kirstie say, "Dang it." Then I try not to giggle. I cover my mouth with my hands to muffle my giggling. I hear footsteps get closer but then stop in the hall. A door opens and I guess it is Scott going in to the bathroom to check if anyone is there. I still wonder how it is possible for Scott to move and touch things. Oh well. I hear Avi get found and then the footsteps are even closer. "Mitchie I know you are in here. Where are you?" I try my best to muffle my giggling and Scott walks around the room looking for me. He slowly opens the closet door and Scott peeks in. "Mitchie I see you." I instantly start laughing. I go to stand up and there is a hand in front of my offering me help up. I think it is Avi but after I stand up with the help of someone pulling me up by my hand, I look up to see Scott with wide eye's. "Oh my gosh. How? But...." He stumbles over his words. "Scott I didn't know you could touch people?" I ask. "I didn't know I could." I smile at his response he pulls me in for a hug and it feels like he never did die like he was here, like it was all just a dream.

Eventually everyone is found and we all take seats in the front room. "Guys can I try something?" Scott asks. "Yea." Everyone all says at once. "Esther give me your hand please." He says looking at Esther giving her a half smile. "Scott you are a ghost you can't touch people." She says looking up at him. "I know but just let me try something." He reaches out to grab her hand and she takes his hand. Everyone's eye's go wide. "When we were playing the game I went to help Mitch up and I could actually touch him." They all say oh and look at me. "Yea it is true. I can't believe it either." I state looking at all of them. I stand up and walk over to Scott who let's go of Esther's hand, he looks at me an di know that this is the time I need to tell him. "Mitchie you keep thinking that. What do you want to tell me?" He asks. I grab his hands in mine and look up at him. "I know I keep thinking that. I have been wanting to tell you for so long but then the day I had built all the courage up to tell you. You got in that car crash. I lost all hope that I would ever get to tell you until I saw you again. I Finally have built up the courage again to tell you that.....I love you Scott. I have loved from the first time that I met you. I should have told you sooner." Tears come out of everyone's eye's but Scott's. He releases one of my hands and he puts it on the side of my face. He leans in and when his lips touch mine I feel like it is just me and him in the room no one else. He pulls back and wraps his arms around my waist. I wrap my arms around his neck. "Awwwwww" Everyone says and Scott and I turn around to see Esther, Avi, Kevin, and Kirstie all smiling at us. Scott turns to me and says something that I thought would never come out of his mouth. "You would never guess how long I have waited to do that, but I was always scared it would ruin our friendship." We hug once more then we go and sit one the sofa next to each other. We have our fingers intertwined. "Guys it's getting late so do you guys want to crash here?" I ask them all. "We still have the bag of each of you guys stuff that we left over here in case you guys crash here." "Yea that would be great." Avi says. "So um not to ruin the moment or anything but Are you guys now in a relationship. If so um how is that going to work. Scott you are a ghost to be honest." Kirstie says. She is right though. Scott looks down at me and I look up at him then back to the gang. "The way we are will not effect our love for each other. So Mitch I guess you are dating a ghost how cool is that?" We all laugh at what Scott says. "That is cool." I say back earning a couple laughs.

After we all get ready for bed we fall asleep and I fall asleep on the sofa with Scott. It's weird to be in a relationship with a ghost but that doesn't effect the way we love each other. It is also weird how Scott can change clothes now and take a shower. Maybe he is actually a human. We should test this theory out with Jeremy.

I fall fast asleep with a smile on my face and cuddled into Scott's chest.
