Best Friend (Scomiche)

Chapter 44 | Lies

Mitch's POV

"I hurt you." His sad blue eyes look up to mine.

I looked at my wrists and noticed my right wrist was much redder than my left.

"It wasn't all you." I say giving him a sad smile. There was a pause.

"Mitch? Did you try to hurt yourself?"

"No. No. I just... I just scratched." I say looking away.

I'm such an idiot.

"No. You don't deserve to be scratched. You don't deserve anything less than love."

"Then give me what I deserve."

"But. But, I hurt you."

I sat down next to him but he tried to shuffle further away.

I grab his hand gently. And he held mine as if I was a porcelain doll.

He was afraid to hurt me.

Why?

"Scott, you can't hurt me by loving me."

"I loved you just now but I still managed to hurt you."

You don't love me like I love you.

"That- That was because you were angry. It's fine."

"You forgive me?" He said sounding like a child.

"Of course I do."

The next thing I knew I was engulfed in a hug. I tensed up for a minute but slowly relaxed. I took in his smell and finally, relaxed. His arms wrapped around me protectively.

"I missed you." I mumble.

"I've always been here."

Lies.

I didn't want to start another argument. So I just stayed quiet.

Suddenly, he pulled me onto his lap so I was straddling his hips and he buried his face in my neck.

"Promise me you will tell me everything from now on." He mumbled.

There was another pause.

"Alex hates me."

He lifts his head to face me.

"Anything else?"

"You hate me..?" I say unsure.

"I love you. I care about you. Who filled your head with this nonsense? I'll give him or her a piece of m-"

"Alex."

He looked into my eyes as if he was trying to figure out if I was lying or not.

He doesn't believe me.

"Hey. Don't look at me like that." Scott says caressing my cheeks. "I know you think I don't believe you. But I do."

I feel myself smile and hug him tighter.

Maybe he'll break up with him. Finally.

"Speaking of Alex, his birthday is comi-"

Nope.

My face drops.

"You aren't mad at him?"

"Well, no. Firstly, you should know that I don't hate you plus, I can see why he gets jealous. I mean look at us right now."

I immediately stand up.

"Okay so no cuddling and hugging. Any other Alex rules I should know about?"

I felt my heart break and my sight started to blur with tears.

"I didn't mean that we st-" he said standing up.

"We don't want your boyfriend getting jealous do we?" I snapped before backing up and walking into my room.

There goes my plan of not arguing. How can he say that it's my fault? Is it my fault? At least he doesn't hate me right?

But... Is Alex more important than me?

What happened to us?

Scott's POV

Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot.

I'm the idiot.

I knock softly on Mitch's door.

"Mitchie? Can I come in?" I ask softly.

I opened the door a bit and peeked in.

I saw him on his bed, scrolling through his phone.

"Mitch, I'm sorry."

"It's fine."

"No, it's not. I've been such a horrible friend."

He looked up but didn't say anything.

"Mitchie. Are you okay?"

He just looks at me as if he was trying to memorise every feature of my face.

"I'm going to personally make sure that Taylor is wiped off the face of earth, and I'll talk to Alex. Mitch, I just want you to talk to me. I miss us."

"I love you so much."

He's talking to me.

"I know baby, I love you too."

He shakes his head, as if he doesn't believe me.

"Hey." I say walking up to him. I sit on his bed, but he moves away, "Mitch. I love you."

His eyes scan my face, like he wasn't going to see me for a very long time.

"Okay."

"Mitch."

"I believe you."

"No you don't. I'm going to make you believe that you are wort-"

"When is Alex's party?"

"No we aren't talking about Alex."

"You wanted to talk about it, so let's talk about it."

"I want to talk about you. I want to know what's going on with you."

"Nothing okay? You already know everything about me. Since I was 10. Just, can we move on?"

I sigh, "Sure, but are you okay?"

He smiles weakly at me, "Yeah."

"Good." I say reaching out to hug him.

But, he didn't hug back.
