Not Anymore [Book One]

chapter 25-Take Me To The River

Mitch's POV

I grabbed the tree I was leaning on and stood up. Scott looked at me.

"Going already?"

I shook my head. "No."
I heard water flowing. I slowly looked over at Scott.

"I hear a river." I said. Scott nodded.

"Yeah me too."

We held hands and walked over to the sound.
The sound got closer and closer until-

"Whoa."

A beautiful blue river flowed over the horizon.
The whole forest gleamed blue.
I breathed and Scott gripped my hand harder.

"It's beautiful." He whispered, stepping closer.

"I changed my mind. When I die, I'm gonna be buried here." I declared.

Scott nodded. "Yeah me too."

I sat down by the river. I put my hand in and felt the water run past my hand. I froze.
The water was warm. I turned to Scott.

"Babe put your hand in." He did.

"Whoa. How is it warm?"

"I have no idea. Maybe magma?"

He laughed. "Idiot."
Then he got serious. "Really. It's amazing."

"I know right?" I pulled my phone out and took a picture. "I love it."

Scott leaned down to my level.
We met eyes and were leaning in when-

"Scott!!!Mitch!!" Kirstie.

"We...We'll be right there!" I yelled. Scott rolled his eyes and I kissed him on the cheek.

We came back to the camp, and we were about to test what parts we were gonna sing and who should be part one and stuff.

I got the lead (duh) and Scott and Kirstie did too. Troye and Tori put harmony, Avi was bass, and Kevin played the Cello.
The song was the first Noel because it was Christmas soon.

Noel, Noel.
Noel, Noel.
Born is the king of Israel
Noel Noel
Noel Noeeeeeeeel

I pulled out one key at a time, carefully.
Kirstie smiled at me, and Scott squeezed my hand.

Born is the king of Israel.

When the song ended, we ran back in the tour bus because it was getting really cold.
I ran in my bed and Scott cuddled next to me as well. Even though the girls had to sleep in the other bus, they stayed for a while.

I wraped Scott's arms around me and leaned back. I saw Troye was doing the same with Tyler's arms. I smiled at him. He smiled back.

"Scott."

Scott had his eyes closed and was leaning his chin on my shoulder.

"Scott." He opened his eyes. "Hmm?"

"Tired?"
