The Silent killer (up for Adoption)

2/4 gone

Scott

I grabbed my phone and called Kevin, taking a deep breath and preparing myself.
"Hey Scott. How are you?" He asked. My heart was pounding.
"I'm.... Not to good. Can you and Avi come over? I need to talk to you..." I said, trying not to cry at the thought of how bad it's getting.
He was silent for a minute before saying they would be here in 10 minutes. I texted Kirstie to come as well.
I set my phone down on the table and wiped my damp eyes. I sniffles and Mitch walked over to me, sitting in my lap and hugging me.
"I'm sorry Scott.... I am so... So sorry..." He said, his voice muffled by my shirt that he was pressed against.
I stroked his head.
"Why are you apologizing baby...?" I asked him.
"You are sad all the time and I know it's my fault.... I'm trying so hard Scott... I can feel myself slipping away.... I am loosing myself... I am so scared Scott... I would rather forget how to breathe then forget about you...." He said, crying into my shirt.
I started sobbing and holding him as close as he could possible get to me.
"I love you Scott... I don't ever want to forget you... You are the one who saved me..." He whispered.
I kissed his head.
"I know baby... I know... But I will always. Always. Be here for you, wether or not you remember me..." I said. He looked up at me and kissed me.
I kissed him back and put my hands on his back to hold him close to me when I heard a knock on the door. Mitch and I both got up to go answer it. I opened the door and Mitch held my hand. He looked between Avi and Kevin and turned to me, hugging me and whispering into my ear.
"Which is Avi and which is Kervy?" He asked, forgetting Kevin's name and saying what he must of misheard me say. "I don't want to make them sad like you I did to you Scotty..."
I hugged him.
"Avi has the awesome beard." I whispered to him
He let go and hugged Avi awkwardly.
"Hi Avi."
Then hugged Kevin with the same awkwardness.
"Hi Kervy." He said to him.
They both returned Mitchs hugs but I could see in their eyes that they knew something was wrong.
"Come on in guys" I said, taking Mitchs hand and walking into the living room. I sat on the couch and Mitch stood there, awkwardly looking at Avi and Kevin.
"Scotty... I am tired. Can I go watch spongebob in our room?" He asked.
I nodded and kissed him. He hugged Avi and Kevin before walking into his room. They both sat down.
"What did you want to talk to us about?" Avi asked.
"Mitch.... Mitch doesn't remember either of you... He is starting to forget the people he loves most... He hasn't even talked about his parents so I am pretty sure they are gone as well.... I am so, so sorry..."
The both looked at me sadly, before looking at each other and hugging.
Mitch meant so much to both of them and they meant so much to him. Now he doesn't even know their names. It's like they never existed....
