Take Me Home

Chapter 23 It'll Be Okay

Mitch's POV

There he was. Travis. Staring at me.
"Come here Mitchie" he said. I didn't move. He grabbed me pulling me close. I tried to resist but had no luck. He pulled me closer, and closer, and closer.
"Mitch" I heard the faint sound of Scott's voice
"Mitch" he said again but I couldn't find him.

Scott's POV

"Mitch, Mitch" I called trying to wake the sleeping boy. He was crying. I started to shake him until he woke up.
"Scott" he said as he woke up.
"You okay?" I asked wiping the tears from his cheeks
"Just a nightmare"
"Hey, why don't you get out of that chair and join me in bed, it's much more comfortable"
"Alright"
The small boy climes into the bed and we both instantly fell asleep.

Mitch's POV

There is something about laying in bed with Scott that just gave me a reassuring feeling. I instantly fell asleep. His arm around my waist and my head on his chest. I felt so safe. For the rest of the night I didn't have anymore nightmares. It was great. The nightmares can get really bad, but when Scott is in the room they were not bad, and when I was snuggled up with him they were nonexistent.
"Morning" Scott said as I woke up.
"Morning." I replied
"How'd you sleep?"
"Better than ever. No nightmares"
"That's amazing mitchie!!"
"How are you feeling?"
"Amazing. So much better thanks!"

Scott's POV

How was I supposed to tell Mitch that the reason I felt so great was because of him. The loneliness was part of the reason I hadn't gotten better. The little visits were nice, but I needed just Mitch. It was always either the band or Mitch and Kirstie. I mean I love Kirstie, but Mitch is my boyfriend and I wanted some time with just him.
"Good morning boys!" Ariel said cheerfully as she entered the room "how are you feeling Scott?"
"Much better"
"Okay, let me take you temperature if you are good you can leave" she took my temperature
"Alright Scott, you're all good!"
I grabbed Mitch's crutches and helped him out of the small room all the way back to the bunk.

Kirstie's POV

"Scott!" I exclaimed as the tall blonde walked through the door
"Hey Kirst" he said as he made his way to his bed with Mitch and they got ready for the day. I decided to wait for them even though I was ready.
"Happy to have you back" I said as we began to walk.
"Happy to be back" he said. There was a bit of uncomfortableness between Mitch and Scott, but it wasn't my place to say anything.

Mitch's POV

I got settled at breakfast and got up to get my cereal.
"What are you doing?" Scott questioned
"Getting my cereal," I responded
"Sit, let me get it,"
"You don't have to, I've been able to do it by myself, I can do it, really"
"Please let me, I kinda owe you"
"For what?"
"Just leaving you"
"It wasn't your fault, you got sick"
"I still feel like I owe you"
"Well if you want to get my breakfast-"
"Thank you!! Can I get your salad at lunch too, and dinner, I want it to go back to normal, before I got sick"
"Alright, if you want" I planted a kiss on his lips as he got up to get my breakfast.
"He's the best" I gushed to Kirstie
"You picked well," she responded
"Hey, Kirst, tell me about Jeremy"
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything, you haven't told me in the past few weeks"
"But I've told you everything, like how sweet he is, and how he doesn't get food at canteen until I'm there, no, he doesn't even go in until I'm there"
"We've both done a great job picking our boyfriends"
"Yeah we've got a good eye for that"

Avi's POV

We arrived at music as an entire group.
"Scott!" Ben exclaimed as he walking with Mitch by his side.
"Hey" Scott replied
"Alright everyone, battle of the bands is tomorrow and we still need to finish our arrangement and put up a video for YouTube so let's get working, show me what you got"
---------------------
"You guys ready to watch the video?" Ben asked
"Yeah" we all said in unison

"I finally like this one" Mitch announced, he had a problem with the way he looked in the other 5 takes.
"'Me too, my hair isn't in my face as much this time" Kirstie added
"Can I post?" Ben asked
"Yes!!" We all said in unison.
"And...the...first...video...is...up!" Ben said and we all cheered.

Kirstie's POV

Lunch was great, the boring grilled cheese that we have basically everyday seemed better. I couldn't have been more happy. When it was time for me to go to theater I practically ran eager to tell Jeremy the news, but he wasn't there. I looked all over the area, the stage, backstage, I even had one guy go into the bathroom to see if he was there. Violet was just as worried as me, if not more. I thought the worst possible things and started crying 
"what if he was with another girl? What if he didn't want to see me? What if he-"
"Kirstin, honey, we'll find him, I promise"
"But the show, he has a major role,"
"We won't practice his scenes today, don't worry. Have you texted him?"
"No, I'll do that"
Kirstie😘😘: hey, where are you? We kinda need you to practice for the show. If I did something I'm sorry, but Violet and I are both worried about you. Please answer me asap. Thanks babe.
He didn't answer. So we got started.
