An Unfortunate Turn For The Better

Chapter 29

Scott's pov

I got out of the front seat and switched spots with Mitch after we reached a certain point where he had stopped telling me where to go since it was a surprise. I sat down in the passenger seat and the silence between us continued on. I hate this. I want to trust him, I really do, but I saw it with my own two eyes! They were so close, about to make out right there. Like seriously? He knew I was outside and would be in any second. I know Mitch wouldn't do this but Travis is like a little devil on his shoulder. That's one reason that I was never okay with Mitch dating him, he had too much control over Mitch. Ugh. I have to talk to Mitch sometime. Should I apologize for getting mad? No. No way! Why would I? I saw it, he was staring up at Travis, ready to kiss him! He wasn't even trying at all to get away or avoid the situation, he was standing there looking up at Travis the same way he used to! I can't. Mitch is too easy to manipulate, I don't know if I can trust him, anyone could easily steal him from me or make him do something he doesn't want to. Especially that little bitch we ran into earlier. Although it's not Mitch's fault. Ugh.

"Scott?" Mitch spoke up for the first time since he took the wheel.

"What." I said quietly.

"I'm sorry." I looked up at him, as if to say 'continue'. "Nothing happened, I swear, but you're right, I could have tried harder to stop him. I should have known that telling him to stop wasn't gonna get me anywhere. I should've just left as soon as I saw him."

I didn't know what to say. I should accept his apology but words aren't forming in my brain and I'm just sitting there, staring at the boy. I watched his expression drop after I never answered him, and I felt my heart break in two when I watched a tear roll down his cheek. Am I the cause of my love crying? Man, I'm an idiot.

"I love you." That's not how most people accept an apology but it's the only thing that seemed sincere to me right now.

Mitch slowed his driving and pulled to the side of the road, not interrupting traffic since we were out in the middle of nowhere. He got out of the vehicle and walked around to my side of the car. He opened the door and I walked out to join him outside. I stood over him and leaned down to place a kiss on his lips. He smiled into the kiss and pulled back a bit.

"Love you too Scotty."
