Love Behind Bars

Natural Disaster

Mitch's POV
Shit. Sirens. I wouldn't last a day in jail. Everyone knows that!

I was scared. I looked at Scott, dead in the eyes. He noticed the fear in my eyes, and he slyly reached out and touched my finger tips. He held my hand. Scott always made me feel safe. I just wanted to kiss him right then and there. After all, we have been dating for about two years. Although here's the secret...nobody knows but us. We feel like no one will except us. Obviously everyone knows I'm gay, but no one knows Scott is. We were planning on telling everyone next week. I guess that can't happen now that we will be locked up in the slammer.

The cops pulled up several seconds before Scott held my hand. My blonde boyfriend looked at me and let go of my hand. 'I love you' he mouthed. My heart melted. I loved him so much. The old man explained what we had done to the cops. Blah, blah, blah, property violation, blah, blah, blah what's wrong with teenagers these days, blah, blah, blah.

I watched as my boyfriend put his hands behind his back. Following with Vri. Then DJ. Then me.
'Damn these hurt.' DJ mouthed to me. I nodded. We all scrunched in to the back of the cop car. Scott and I were sitting next to each other. I turned my head and looked in his eyes, then leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the shoulder, but quietly so the others couldn't hear.
"Sir, excuse me?" Vri said. Me and Scott had a mini heart attack because we thought she was talking to us. She was actually talking to the cop.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"How long will we be in jail?"
"Well it depends. If you can get someone to bail you out, then no less than a day. If not, you're here for eleven months."
"That's not too bad.." DJ said under her breath.

All I wanted was for Scott to hold me. Like we do every night. He just holds out his arms, and I fall into his embrace. I always knew he was the one ever since we were nine years old. He finally asked me out two years ago on October 10th. Best day of my life. If we aren't together, I'm lost.

Scotts POV

Okay, okay. I may or may not have lied to you. Mitch and I are a couple, not just a crush. And the fact that we're going to prison isn't good. I had plans for next week with Mitch. I was going to take him out to Arlington, to the theater we first met. I was going to take him on the stage, get on one knee, and propose. Nobody will be able to bail us out, I just know it. So, I guess the proposal will have to wait awhile...

Nobody understands my love for Mitch. I knew from the moment I met him that he was the one. The one I wanted to spend eternity with. The one I loved.

But here we are, about to go to jail. I swear to god, if we are separated I don't even know what the hell I'll do because I can't go 30 seconds without him by my side.

I thought about all this as we drove, with my baby's head on my shoulder. He could barely keep his eyes open. Poor baby. I hated to see him this way, tired and miserable.

We slowly pulled up to the police station. DJ and Vri were talking very quietly, but I couldn't make out what the two were saying.
"Hey! No talking back there!" the police said. That shut us all up immediately. I scooted closer to my boyfriend.
"It'll all be okay, baby. Whatever happens, I love you."  I whispered in his ear.
"I love you more." he added. Looking around to see if anyone was watching, I leaned forward and gave him a quick, little kiss, that meant the world.
