Jerome's POV

We had picked up the guys from the airport, and we were at the house now. Mitch and I had let the guys unpack their stuff. Poofless and Vikklan were sharing a room. We didn't have that much space, plus, they're soulmates, it's not like it makes a difference.

"I don't know if this will help, Jerome." Mitch said.

I turned to him.

"Mitch, everything's going to be fine. You'll get better, I promise." 

"Matt's not here though, Jerome."

"So? You'll get better." I said, starting to get annoyed.

"No, I won't Jerome."

"Sometimes I wonder if you like Matt more than me! You always talk about him!" I yelled.

Mitch jumped, then he looked angry.

"What? It's not my fault! He was my best friend Jerome! You might be my soulmate, but I knew Matt longer!" Mitch yelled back.

"What if I would have left instead of Matt? Would you be so broken? Because I doubt it."

"Jerome, stop making things worse!"

"I'm just saying the truth! I'm trying to be honest! If I wasn't honest, I wouldn't be a very good soulmate, would I be?!"

"Well, right now, you're not! I thought you were trying to make me feel better!"

"I am! I try to make you happy, but nothing works! You just sit, and whine about Matt all fudging day!"

"I do not!"

"Yes, you do!"

"No, I don't!

"YES! YOU DO!" I screamed.

Mitch flinched, and glared at me. 

"Just shut up, Jerome. You're not helping." Mitch said quietly.

"I give up! I bring 4 people here to try to cheer you up! You didn't even pretend to be excited when they came! I'm trying Mitch! I'm trying for you!"

"Well, I'm not excited Jerome! I don't care anymore! If this is how Matt feels all the time, I feel sorry for him!"

"Like what Mitch?!" I screamed.

"So. So. ALONE!" Mitch screamed, and he ran out of the living room.

I was silent for a few seconds, trying to catch my breath. Yelling was hard on my voice, apparently.

I started crying, I couldn't help it. Are couples' first arguments always so mean, and loud?

I sat down on the couch, and cried.

I was trying to help. I was trying everything. But, it was clear. The only thing that could help Mitch was the one thing I couldn't give him.

Matt.

Matt's POV

"Something's wrong." I said.

Kenny and Choco looked at me like I was crazy.

"What?" Kenny asked.

"Something's wrong. Something happened." I answered.

"Um, what's wrong?" Choco asked.

"I don't know. It has to do with Mitch though. Something's wrong." I said.

"How do you know?" Kenny asked.

"I just do. I don't know how to explain it." I answered.

"Um, ok. I'm sure he's fine, Matt." Choco said.

"No. He's not. I know." I said, then grabbed my phone, and started walking up the stairs to 'my' room.

"Where are you going?" Kenny asked.

"I'm going to go do something I never thought I would do." I answered simply. 

Mitch's POV (I warned you about the POV switches)

I was sitting in my room, crying. I was honestly surprised Jerome hadn't come up here yet. After all, it technically was our room. I'm mad at him though, so I'm glad he didn't come up here. I'm allowed to be worried about Matt. Right? Of course I am. He's my best friend. I mean who wouldn't be worried about their best friend?

My phone buzzed. What? Who texted me? If it's Jerome I swear...

Matt: U ok? 

I almost dropped my phone in shock. Did he actually text me? I had tried to text him when he left, but I think he blocked me. Did he actually text me? No way...

Mitch: Matt? Is that u?!?

Matt: Ya, it's me

Mitch: Why are u texting me?

Wait... he might take that the wrong way...

Mitch: I mean, I thought u blocked me. Why are u texting me now?

Matt: I'm worried about u

Mitch: Ur worried about me?! I'm worried about u! Where are u? Are u safe?

Matt: I'm fine, Mitch. Well, I'm safe. Not fine.

Mitch: Are u hurt?!

Matt: No. Not physically. Anyway, are u ok?

Mitch: I'm fine...

Matt: No ur not. I know ur not. I don't know how, but I know ur not. I can feel it.

Mitch: I don't know what to do without you Matt. Jerome and I got in a fight over you. I don't know what to think anymore.

Matt: Did he hurt u? Are u ok?

Mitch: His words hurt me. It was our first fight. I'm just a little shaken up.

Matt: I'm sorry

Mitch: It's ok, I'm sure it will get better between Jerome and I.

Matt: No, I mean I'm sorry for leaving. I just couldn't handle it.

Mitch: I would never judge you Matt. We could still be best friends. I'm your soulmate. I know that now. I still want to be your friend Matt.

Matt: You don't get it, Mitch. You probably never will. Anyway, I have to go. The people who are taking care of me are yelling at me to open the door. Bye, love you.

Mitch: Wait! Matt! Don't go!

I waited 1 second. 1 minute. Honestly, probably a whole hour. He never responded. 

Wait... he said he loved me...
