****(Mitch P.O.V)****
"Hey Scott? You okay? You're acting weird." I said snapping him out of his blank stare. I had been home for less than an hour and he was acting really weird.
He looked up at me from the other couch and sighed, "Umm... Yeah. I have to tell you something." he said his voice fading into a whisper.
I scooted closer to him which wasn't much because he was sitting on the other couch. I put my hand on his knee and whispered, "What's wrong baby?"
"I... I cheated on you." his voice croaked. My hearing became cloudy and everything sounded far away. I pulled my hand away and pulled my knees up to my chest. I hugged my knees and looked down at the floor.
I didn't know what to do. "Mitch, you have to know that I was drunk and it was when you were gone and I missed you. I swear to you that it didn't mean anything. I love you so much." he started rambling but I could barely hear him anymore.
That doesn't make it better Scott.
"Who?" I asked my voice barely coming out as a whisper. When he didn't reply I looked up and he had tears in his eye.
"A-Alex." he whispered and everything around me started spinning. I closed my eyes tightly and took a deep breath.
"Did you sleep together?" I asked my voice shaking. He didn't reply again and I looked up at him to see tears running freely down his cheeks.
"I'm so sorry Mitch." he whispered and I let go of my legs. I stumbled to my feet and stumbled into the kitchen. I ran to the sink and puked. I was shaking badly and I could barely breath.
When I was finished I took a gulp of air and could feel a hand touch my back. I spun around and shoved him away from me, "Don't touch me!" I screamed at him tears running down my cheeks.
He stumbled back looking at me horrified. I pushed past him and stumbled down the hallway. I grabbed my keys and left without another word. I got into the car and drove out of the driveway.
Tears were fogging my vision too much to drive. I pulled over into a mostly empty parking lot. I sobbed loudly.
How could this happen? Why would he do that? He shouldn't have gotten drunk! He shouldn't have done it!
My shaking hands picked up my phone from my pocket and started to text Kirstie.
Mx: he cheatedd
Kit: SCOTT!?
Mx: ya

Kit: I'm gonna murder him

Mx: I don know what to do
Kit: where are u honey
Mx: a parking lot a few blocks from my house
Mx: can I come over
Kit: I'll come get u
Kit: Mitchie its gonna be okay
Mx: ok
Kirstie pulled into the lot a few minutes later and I opened the car door to get out when a folded piece of paper fell out. I picked it up and opened it.
Dear Mitch,
It wasn't his fault. He was way too drunk to even comprehend what was happening. I should've stopped him. He was just missing you. I'm pretty sure he thought it was you. I don't know if he told you or not but please forgive him. He was livid when he woke up and had a panic attack. I missed him so much that I took advantage of him and I'm sorry. Im moving away so you both won't ever see me again.
I'm sincerely sorry,
Alex
