I am yours. {#Wattys2016}

A/N: I created a Spotify playlist to go along with the theme of the story. I got (stole) this idea from flxwless-zjm (love you sis ❤️) It's the link on my profile. (it's an incomplete playlist)

He opened his mouth to say something but closed it. He looked around in a daze. "Why?" Is all he asked.

The truth is, I had no idea. "I needed a job" I answered.

"Do you enjoy it?" He asked. This wasn't the reaction I was expecting.

"I guess." I let it roll off my chest. He sat there confused. "I know what you're thinking-"

"Avi, why this?" The reality began to sink in for him. "You could've achieved so much, Avi"

"You think I don't know that. I think about it everyday" I responded slightly angry. "I know I had the opportunities. I just didn't have anyone to motivate me."

He sat there thinking. "What about your parents?" That's the question I wish he never asked.

My parents died when I was 17. It was an extremely painful time for me. First it was my mother. She had fallen ill and doctors couldn't do anything. My family was heavily affected. Then my father. My father got into an accident. His injuries were fatal. He died once he reached the hospital. After the both of them died, I had no more motivation. I had no one. My siblings had traveled and went to love their lives and I was in Texas, alone.

"I don't....I don't want to talk about them" I could feel tears brim. Scott noticed my emotion change and hugged me, repeatedly apologising.

"So, I see you kept the ring" Scott found something else to start a conversation.
I looked down at the ring. It was a gold ring with a small crescent moon on it.

"I've never taken it off" I smiled at him. I looked over at Scott's hand and saw the ring he had on his finger. "It's a reminder of our friendship"

The front door opened. A small male drenched in water walked in. His hair was purple. He had half his head shaven and the remained rested against his head. He took off his cost which exposed his numerous tattoos on his body.

He walked further into the house and acknowledged my presence. "Scott, who is this?" He asked. His voice was higher than I expected.

"Let me introduce the two of you" Scott stood up. "This is Avi, his my best friend from high school" He pointed to me and I waved.

"Avi. This is Mitch. My boyfriend"
