Will I

Realizations

WARNING: rape mention

"Wait...you two are dating?"

Mitch nodded shyly, wanting his parents' permission. A week has passed since the Trevor incident and Mitch couldn't be happier. It will take a while for him to recover, but he'll get there.

"Yes, Sir," Avi spoke up, making sure if it was okay to put his arm around his boyfriend's shoulders. Mitch nodded, smiling when the arm wrapped around him softly. "I love Mitch more than anything. I will not pressure him into doing anything."

"You better because that's what his last boyfriend said."

"Dad," Mitch spoke up, crinkling his eyebrows as he held onto Avi tighter. "Avi is nothing like Trevor. He will never hurt me."

"We know that, baby," Nel spoke up, patting Mitch's back. He flinched when she did, making her heart ache. "Honey, you need to realize that Dad and I worry about who you're with everyday. It's hard for us to trust them."

"You don't think it's hard me to trust people, Mom?!"

Avi jumped while Nel backed off, tears wellin in her eyes. Tears rolled down Mitch's cheeks as he glared at his parents, shaking his head.

"I know you two are scared for me, but I'm going to be okay. Yeah, I still have nightmares. I'm not a virgin anymore because Trevor took that away from me. I don't trust people anymore because of that. That doesn't mean that you can't let people not hang out with me anymore!

"I didn't tell you guys this, but Trevor...raped me again."

"When?!" Mike yelled, ready to hurt someone. Mitch looked at the ground, ashamed of himself for just saying this. "When did this happen?!"

"Last week," Mitch whispered, a tear rolling down his cheek slowly. Avi held him tighter, wiping away any tears. "It was when Scott was drunk. He was at a party that was being held at Trevor's."

"Why didn't we know about this?!" Nel scolded, striking fear in her son. "Mitchell Grassi, tell me right now. You are being very secretive right now and I don't appreciate it."

"I didn't want you guys to be sad again," Mitch answered, going back to his whispery tone that held every inch of pain in it. "We have evidence though."

"Really? Where is it?"

Mitch looked up at Avi, shaking his head as more tears welled up in his eyes. Mike caught the camera he had in his hands, getting ready to take pictures of the evidence. Nel waited impatiently, wanting to take Trevor to jail.

"Mitch needs to take off his shirt to do it," Avi spoke up, Mitch holding onto him like a small child. "Mitchy, it's okay. They're your parents."

Mitch separated himself from his boyfriend hesitantly, taking a deep breath before taking off his long sleeved shirt. He heard his mom gasp and break down in tears, causing him to cry more. Property of Trevor Askim was beginning to scab, but it was obvious that the scar will never fade. Mike took some photos of his son's chest, arms, and back, crying as he did so.

"Is there anymore, Mitch?"

Mitch shook his head, wanting to hide someplace. Mike finished taking the pictures, handing his son his shirt. Mitch put it on immediately, shaking slightly.
