The Child on the Streets(UNDER MAJOR EDITING!!!!)

Sneaking Out At Night(Scott's POV)

(I made an edit...I'm proud😂)

Time skip: 10:45 PM of Wednesday

"Mitch wake up," I said shaking him gently.
"What?" Mitch whined. I rolled my eyes and pointed at Kirstie. It was enough for him to realize what I was trying to tell him. Mitch nodded and slowly got out of the bed. Mitch went to change while I watched Kirstie. She shifted in the bed, found Mitch's body not there, felt around again, and ended up not succeeding.
     "Mitch?" Kirstie called out, panic and worrying pain etching her voice. Kirstie called out Mitch's name again. Then she started crying. In a mere second Mitch was there, woke Kirstie, and sat her up.
     "Another nightmare?" Mitch asked. She only cried harder. Wow, I thought.
     "Blood...knife...pain...but...but...it wasn't...me who...g-got stabbed," Kirstie murmured in between her sobs. Poor Kirstie. She probably had to watch someone get murdered. And judging by the way she was crying it was probably Mitch, I thought.
     "Ok I have no idea where these nightmares are coming from but Kirstie you have to remember they're not real," Mitch said comfortingly.
     "But what if they become real," Kirstie said, her voice deathly quiet. Mitch gently smiled and wiped her tears away with his thumbs.
     "I'm not gonna let them be real," he said, putting their foreheads together. Mitch started humming Light in the Hallway. With every passing second I saw Kirstie start falling asleep. Mitch stopped humming and gently set Kirstie back down on the bed. He covered her with a cozy blanket and kissed her forehead.
     "Sleep tight my darling," Mitch whispered.
     "God. You're her boyfriend for 3 days and you can do that already," I said quietly.
     "Actually it's kinda easy," Mitch said.
     "Oh yeah? Name one person out of this entire world, that's not you, that can do what you just did," I said. Mitch stared at me blankly before speaking.
     "Let's just go while she's asleep," Mitch said quickly before opening the door.
     "Hah I win," I said smiling triumphantly. I followed Mitch out the door and closed it behind me. We snuck quietly out of the house. Mitch got into the car's passenger seat. I got into the drivers seat.
     "Ready?" I asked.
     "Yeah," Mitch said, pulling up a picture of the ring on his phone. I started the car and drove smoothly down the street. After a while I looked back at Mitch. He was staring at the photo he had pulled up earlier.
     "How much do you love her?" I asked, being my very curious self.
     "A lot," Mitch said with a small smile.
     "That's good but why are you so worried? I've told you multiple times there's nothing, absolutely nothing, to worry about," I said.
     "It's just what if she says she's not ready? What if she says she thinks it seemed too sudden? What if she says no?" Mitch asked.
     "Ok let me just stop you right there. You have no idea how much Kirstie loves you. I've never seen her trust anyone so much with her body. I mean Mitch goodness sakes you tease her and she doesn't mind one bit," I ranted.
     "Mmm yeah I love it when she moans," Mitch said. I stared blankly at him.
     "Yeah ok...plus Mitch don't you realize she's not so stressed out anymore? You calm her nerves Mitch. In fact, I think you make her less insecure about herself. Remember in high school?" I asked.
     "Yeah...I don't like how I found out about it," Mitch mumbled.
     "Mitch you're missing the point. Kirst isn't gonna say no if she loves you that much. I think she loves you more than she loves herself," I said, finding a parking.
     "Honestly I don't see how she can't love herself. She's flawless in every way," Mitch said. I parked the car.
     "The point is she loves you with all her heart. There's no way she's saying no to you," I said, parking the car and poking Mitch's chest. Mitch chuckled and I tickled him.
     "STOP!" Mitch shouted. He laughed really hard that tears rimmed his eyes. He grabbed my arm and tried to pull it away.
     "Not until you stop doubting yourself," I said.
     "Ok! Ok! I'll stop! Just don't tickle me!" Mitch said in between laughs. I stopped and he wiped his eyes.
     "Why would you do that Scott...god," Mitch said with a smile.
     "No actually Avi is God," I said.
