Travis - Scömìche Fanfic

Chapter 20

Kirstie giggled once more before sitting in a plastic chair beside Mitch's bed.

Avi and Kevin followed while Scott and Mitch tangled each other in each other's arms.

"So, Mitch... Um... How are you feeling?" Kirstie asked, feeling a little awkward.

"I'm fine, is there something wrong?"

Kirstie sighed and looked to the two men behind her before looking back at Mitch.

"It's just that.. You tried to kill yourself. Kill. Yourself. And I've.. I've never known about it until you actually.. Did it. I can't believe that freak did that to you. All of those things... And we were all oblivious to it. We should've noticed. I should've noticed. And I just can't... Believe that you... Mitch... Would feel like that everyday yet you still put a smile on your face... I just... *sigh*" Kirstie's tears started to fall freely.

Scott watched Kirstie in pity while Mitch couldn't help but feel horrible.

"I should've f***ing known! All of those times you couldn't... Make it to meetings and whenever you were late. Or when I... I would see you with a big bruise somewhere on your body... But that wasn't all he gave you and that hurts me.. So much. The scars you have from every hit he gave you..." Kirstie couldn't talk any longer and she sobbed into her hands.

Avi quickly reacted and started to rub Kirstie's back in comfort.

Kirstie flinched away and quickly stood up.

Mitch's eyes followed her ever action while Scott hugged Mitch tighter, bracing himself for what was about to come.

"Do you know who you would've left behind?! Your friends, family, fans, Pentatonix! You had so many other options to lean towards besides killing yourself and what did you do?! You f***ing did it! And thank god you aren't dead but clearly that's not what you wanted! Are we really that bad to you? Do we not care for you enough that you have to take your own life away?! What the hell Mitch! You were going to leave everyone who loved you behind!! You need to think about what that could do to other people! If you died, someone would've probably killed themselves too because they can't stand that you're dead! But... Oh my god!"

Avi quickly ran over and engulfed Kirstie in a warm embrace. She was having a panic attack.

Kirstie's hard breathing filled the room as Avi struggled to keep her close.

Scott, with his eyes screwed shut, started rubbing Mitch's forearm.

"She doesn't mean it Mitch," Scott whispered.

Kevin watched Avi struggle.

Mitch watched in shame. He made her feel like that?

"I made her sad..." Mitch said quietly, only loud enough for Scott to hear.

He turned his head to look into the pair of baby blue eyes. "I made her sad."

Mitch raised his voice a little and started tearing up. "I can make s*** happy."

Scott hugged Mitch close but he refused to return the embrace.

"Can you guys please leave?"

Kevin, Avi, and Scott looked to Mitch with concern while Kirstie kept struggling.

"Now."

Kevin walked over to Avi and whispered something into his ear. "Come on man, let's go."

Avi dragged Kirstie out of the room, with Kevin following behind.

"You too Scott, please. I want to be alone."

Scott wasn't going to let this slide without a fight.
