Trapped (Unfinished)

38- POV Mitch

A/N: Hey girls and guys and everyone in between! I promise you that I am not dead. I'm pretty sure it has been a lifetime since I last posted, but here I am! My goal is to post at least two more times this week to makeup for being gone for so long but I can't promise anything. I'm also going to try to get back on schedule, posting every Friday, now that school is starting to become less stressful and life less busy!

I love you all so much!!!!

When we get on the bus, Scott and I both climb in his bunk and shut the curtains. Scott leans against his pillow, with his head sitting just below the ceiling. I rest against the opposite wall facing him.

I want to talk more about last night with him because I'm still confused. Why would Scott kiss me when it took him so long to even talk to me after I kissed him? He said that he would have slept with me if he wasn't worried about my reaction- does that mean he'd actually want to date me? What about Alex? How do I even ask him these questions?

I sigh and admire Scott in front of me while I clear my throat to speak.

"So what happens now?" I ask, trying not to blurt out 'will you be my boyfriend?' or anything else that might ruin my life now.

Scott reaches out to hold my hands in his. "How about I change Alex's name in my phone to 'X'."

"What?" I ask, brows furrowed.

"And I change your name in my phone to Bae. How does that sound?"

I have to admit, that was is so cute, but...

"You are saying you'll break up with Alex to be with me?"

"Yes, of course," He replies. "I need you Mitch, and for more than just Pentatonix and to take care of Wyatt."

"But you need Alex, too," I argue.

"No, I don't," Scott says firmly. "Yes, Alex is a good friend. Yes, he is funny and good looking and likes the same things I do. Yes, Alex is the biggest pentaholic and will do everything he can to support me and Pentatonix. Yes, Alex can make a party more fun and or cuddle with me whenever I want."

Yes, I know Alex does all of these things too. Thanks for reminding me how perfect he is, Scott.

"But you Mitch," he continues. "You are all of these things and more. You are hilarious and can read my mind. You are adorable and always make me happy when I'm with you. You don't need to support me in Pentatonix, because you are right here next to me. I can't go three seconds without you, yet I haven't seen Alex in weeks.

"I haven't even texted him since before the blizzard, but the second you left the bus that night I knew you were gone. That night, before anyone knew you were gone, I had a dream- a nightmare- where you left me and I couldn't survive without you. That's how I knew you left us."

"Mitch, in no way do I need Alex, but I need you. I need you for emotional support, I need you for happiness. I need you more than you could ever know. Mitch, I need you like water."

He leans forward and pulls me closer to him before placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

I came in the bunk with so many questions but now I'm speechless.

I let him pull me closer until I'm straddling his legs, and Scott pulls me into a kiss. It is such a gentle yet perfect kiss that I can't believe that this is really happening.

I lay down next to Scott, my head on his chest, and he brushes the strand on hair out of my face. He wraps his arms around me and we lock eyes.

"Thank you," I whisper.
