Recap:
"Scott, please, explain to me why," Mitch begs.

"I- I can't." Scott sighs and anger fills me.

"Let's go Mitch." I repeat, more firmly this time and tug on his hand. He nods and we turn around and walk away.

I can't stop myself and glance back over my shoulder and immediately regret my move when I feel my heart break at the sight:

Scott sobbing quieting into his hands.

*****

{5th December, Saturday}

"Kirstie, here's his breakfast." Avi mutters and hands Kirstie two plates of food; One for her and one for Mitch.

Mitch locked himself up in his room for the past week, only coming out for the bathroom and to record an episode of Sup3rfruit. Kirstie is the only one he lets in his room, so she brings him food. I talk to him sometimes, though, for the other side of his door; both of us leaning against it. We avoid all subjects related to Scott and/or Alex, of course.

Scott actually decided to stay in the Sup3rfruit apartment to avoid Mitch and I. I don't know why both of them didn't stay in it before instead of living in the house but that's their choice, I guess.

Every member of the band knows what happened minus a few details such as why Mitch was chasing me and why Scott was so upset about Mitch walking away.

Kirstie sighs and rubs her temples. We all have bags under our eyes out of worry for Mitch. She grabs the plates and I follow her upstairs to open Mitch's door for her. I knock three times before twisting the handle and opening the door wide enough for Kirstie to fit through.

"Hey Mitchy..." Is all I hear before walking a couple steps to my room. Inside, I close the door and head to the bathroom to put on concealer to hide the bags and to put my hair up in a messy, but pretty, bun. I set up Scott and Mitch's camera in front of my bed and sit down, sending a quick tweet to my fans.

Skylar_AbbeyD: What's up guys? I'm doing a quick video today to explain my absence and may be answering a few questions ;) Tweet me :3

I wait five minutes before starting the video and smiling cheerfully at the camera.

"What's up guys? Welcome to Fangirls, fantabulousness and freaks. My name is Skylar and I am your host and why do I sound like I'm on a game show?" I chuckle. "Anyway, I've come to explain why I haven't been uploading videos. Pentatonix do do things like go to awards shows, okay? Sometimes I get to go but sometimes I stay back with Esther. I have school, as well, so that's 5 days of the week gone. And sometimes I just don't feel like it. I'm really sorry but that's the way my channel is: casual videos every now and then. Sneak peeks into the lives of the most important people in my life.

"Anyway, let's get on to answering questions." I unlock my phone and start scrolling through Twitter. "Okay, so PentaSatan," I chuckle at the username. "Asks, 'who do you like better, Scott or Mitch?' I love them both so much. It's kinda hard to choose so I'm not going too." I answer her question honestly... sorta. I've kinda always favoured Scott over Mitch but only the tiniest bit. I don't know why, but I have.

"Yesptx asks 'do you like Scott's scruff?'" I stare seriously into the camera and narrow my eyes. "I hate it. You make it through this video without giggling like a little school-girl." I raise a hand with the palm facing upwards and make a mental note to insert a video containing every picture of Scott with his scruff. "That's right. Even while I make the video I can guarantee that I'll be giggling. Every time I see him with his scruff, my inner fangirl dies and goes to fandom hell where you see all your OTP's die." My eyes widen in mock terror. "It's terrifying."

"Skylar," I turn my head towards the door and see Avi standing there. "Oh sorry, you're recording," he goes to turn around and leave but I stop him.

"Avi! Come join me! The fans will love it!" I call to him and he shrugs then walks over to me and sits down in the bed beside me.

"Hey guys!" He waves at the camera.

"I was just answering questions and-" I trail off when I see Avi glancing at the door a lot. "Did you come here for a reason?"

"Uh, yeah," he glances at the camera before leaning over and whispering in my ear, "Mitch wants to see you." I immediately stand up and rush towards my door. "What about your video?"

"It can wait; Mitch is more important." I rush towards his door and Avi follows me. I gently knock on the door and Mitch voice rises from the other side.

"Little Cloud?" He calls quietly.

"Yeah Mitchy, it's me. Can I come in?" I ask gently.

"Yes," he calls back and I wave a quick goodbye to Avi before opening the brunette's door and walking in, closing it gently behind me.

My eyebrows furrow in worry and I rush over to Mitch who, surprisingly, seems calm.

"Mitch? Are you okay?" I ask him and when he turns to me and locks eyes with me, all the air seems to be taken out of my lungs. Red-rimmed eyes meet mine and I can tell he's been crying a lot. "Oh Mitchy...." I wrap an arm around his waist and he returns the hug.

"Kirstie told me that he was head over heels for me but I didn't believe her and then you said something about-" he winces a bit. "Scömìche and I started to think about everything and then... I saw him with Alex... And it just broke me a little bit, you know?" He whispers.

"I know Mitchy.... I know."
