A/N: My mind went places with this chapter....

Scott POV

Things were seemingly better. After Avi's last hospital check up, we were informed that he was back to normal now. Which was great news. We could do more things together now, so I planned a shopping day.

We headed out the mall quite early in the afternoon. Avi had a very strong energy beaming off of him. He seemed extremely happy, which made me happy. It was as if the nothing could ruin his mood. He was smiling so much and I thought it was honestly the most adorable thing ever.

We arrived at the mall and headed into the first store. We were trying on clothes as if we were models about to step out on the runaway. We didn't even buy half of the clothes we tried on, but it was still fun.

We walked out of the store, happier than before. We had our arms interlocked as we strolled through the mall observing those passing by us. It felt amazing to be spending time with him. And I thought absolutely nothing could ruin how we were feeling.

But I was wrong.

I saw Mitch. I saw Mitch with another guy. I saw Mitch and my smile faltered. My happiness subsided. I was no longer in a good mood. I just had so much pepped up anger towards Mitch.

I looked over at Avi and noticed that he was no longer in a good mood, also. As if we shared the same emotion. Although his facial expression wasn't anger, it was fear.

I had noticed that the couple had caught eye contact with us both. They both had very smug looks on their faces. They knew how we felt at that moment in time. They knew and they were proud of it.

Neither of us moved. No one knew what to do.

Mitch took the first step towards us with who I was assuming was Justin.

Avi and I took one step back.

They came forward.

We moved back.

Their pace increased. So did ours.

As they neared us, Avi ran to the parking lot dragging me along with him. He was scared and I could tell. They chased us.

We entered the parking lot and we were the only ones in there. We thought we'd lost him. We were panting for our breaths as we stopped running. "You knew that guy?" I asked very curious. The guy clearly seemed to have quite an impression on Avi.

"Remember that night you picked me up and told you about a guy named Justin?" He responded with a question. I nodded. "Well that's Justin"

Just as I was about to respond, I heard them talking. "Let's go home before they find us" I whispered. We slowly backed over to the car but I tripped over causing a huge sound to ripple through the lot. They noticed us instantly and came towards us, menacingly.

It felt like a scene from an action movie. When the bad guys catch up to the good guys.

"Hello there, Scott" Mitch approached me, completely disregarding Avi. His tone was quite conniving and it evoked a slight fear into me. He came closer and closer to me and I began backing away from him, not noticing that Avi and I were no long near each other. He was being backed away by Justin.

"Let's talk"
