The Side He Doesn't See

Chapter 6

"Holy fuck Mitch! That's us!"

Mitch

Tears begin to well up in my eyes, I don't know why, but they do.

"It's to early for them to find out, the rest of the band doesn't even know!" I say to Scott, my voice cracking a bit.

Scott takes my face in his hands and wipes my tears off of my cheek.

"Don't cry, baby. We'll fix this, somehow, I promise." He kisses my forehead, lingering there for a little while.

"I just.. I just don't want the fans to affect our relationship in anyway." I say, whimpering.

"They won't, I will love you no matter what happens." He kisses away a stray tear that fell. 

I smile at him, my tear-filled eyes slowly drying up.

"Is everything alright you guys? You've been in here for a while." Kirstin asks, knocking then opening the door. I look up at Scott, my eyes asking him "What do we do?"

He nods at me, as if he can read my mind. "Kit? Can you.. um.. bring the rest of the band here? We need to.. uh.. talk." Scott says hesitantly.

"Okay." She says. She closes the door, a confused expression plastered on her face.

"Oh god Scott, what do we do?" I say, tears filling my waterline again.

"Baby, don't cry again, we have to tell the sooner or later." He tells me, rocking me back and forth on his lap.

"But what about the fans? I don't want them to know yet." I say, pouting.

Scott's POV (random pov change lol)

"We'll figure something out," I say. As soon as the words leave my mouth, Kirstin walks in with Kevin and Avi. "So what's up? Why did you—" Kevin says, his eyes widening when he sees Mitch's tear stained face. "Oh my god Mitch! Why are you crying?" He, Avi and Kirstin run towards him. "What's the matter, babe?" Kirstin says, bending down to meet Mitch's height since he's sitting down.

"I-I u-uh um..." Mitch says looking down, his voice trailing off at the end. He looks at me, his sad eyes telling me to do the talking.

I sigh, "Well, um, there's no other way to put this. Mitch and I are dating, and we have been for a month now." I say as quickly as possible.

The three of them stare at us with blank expressions for a solid minute. Avi is the first to speak up, "And Mitch is crying about this because..?" He says, confused.

"Someone leaked a photo of us kissing, and it's blowing up the Internet." Mitch says, still looking down.

"Why is that so bad?" Kirstin says, finally talking.

"Yeah! I mean, Scömìche shippers are probably crazy happy right now!" Kevin adds on.

"Yeah, we know. But we just don't want them to know now, because god forbid we break up or something I don't want to affect the band in anyway. If they find out if we break up or something like that, there will be a lot of controversy, and that will break the entire fandom apart. We could end up losing fans because of it." I tell them.

"Oh," Kirstin says, "But what about the pictures? What will we do about that?"

Everyone looks towards Kevin, "What are you looking at me for?" He asks, throwing his hands up in the air.

"You're the smart one who comes up with good ideas for everything!" I tell him, laughing a bit.

He laughs a long with me, "Well, I mean, you could contact the person who took the picture and tell them to tell everyone it was photoshopped."

"But who took it?" Mitch questions.

"We'll have to do some digging on social media to find the original person." Kevin says.

~~~

After a long three hour search for the original person, I finally find it.

"Oh my god, found the person! Her username is sup3rbriannaptx, I'm gonna DM her about it." I tell them.

I quickly follow her and DM her saying "Hey, yes this is actually Scott Hoying, before I begin, you have to promise not to tell anyone about this conversation we are about to have, this is crucial information and I don't want it leaked to the public."  I wait for a reply, which is less than 30 seconds later.

"OMFG SCOTT ILY A LOT I PROMISE I WONT SAY ANYTHING TO ANYONE  ILYSM!!!!!" She answers.

I laugh at her response, but quickly get serious again. I take a deep breath.

"Haha, ily2. Okay, let me get started. You took the picture of Mitch and I kissing... right?" I type, I hit send and get a response almost immediately.

"Yes!!! That would be me, I'm a hard-core scomiche shipper if you can't tell lol"

"Well, the truth is, Mitch and I are actually dating, but we don't want to release it to the public just yet. Will you do us the biggest favor and say you photoshopped it? Ik you might get a lot of hate and stuff, but we'll do something to make it up to you. Would you like a free backstage pass to one of the ptx concerts as a thank you?"

"Yes, I will do anything to make you guys happy & comfortable with your relationship, I'm so happy for you guys! And also YES I WOULD LOVE BACKSTAGE PASSES OMFG IM CRYING THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER HOLYSHITRJDHMS!!!!" I smile at her response.

"Great, thank you! Send me your email address and I'll have Ben email you the ticket information." I smile down at my phone.

"Mitchy! It looks like we are off the hook! She agreed to do it!" He gets up from the couch and jumps on top of me, almost knocking me to the floor. He wraps his legs around my waist.

"Thank god, I love you." He says, peppering kisses all over my face with a smile.

"Guys! Scott for her to agree with him!" Mitch yells across the rehearsal area, with a huge grin on his face. "I'm gonna follow her," Mitch says, taking out his phone.

I pull my phone from my pocket, and see I have a message from her

"here's my email, briannaeighton.ptx321@gmail.com. also, I just sent out a tweet saying the photo I took was photoshopped, an do used the hashtag #ScomicheHoax, so if you can maybe tweet about it or something? if it's not that much trouble."

"I'll tweet about it later, right now it's just too soon. Thank you, again btw. You saved our relationship from disaster."

"Thank you, this entire conversation made my whole day, (week, month, YEAR) now that ik my OTP is real, I feel so happy!!" I chuckle at her response.

"Aw, ly<3" I send her quickly.

I put my phone away, do I really think I can trust this person?
