Travis' body was pushed into the ambulance with a blanket laying over him. Scott followed, still trying to stay on the verge of consciousness.

Mitch sat on the porch while a nurse disinfected his back.

His hospital gown had blood stains, and his underwear underneath had rips from the whip.

A police officer approached him, holding a pad and pen.

"Sir? Mitch?"

Mitch looked up with tears in his eyes.

"Can you explain what happened?"

Mitch looked back down, more tears flowing.

He let a little sob, allowing the officer to sit down.

"Hey, it's ok."

Mitch wiped away his tears, but more began to fall.

The nurse started to wrap his torso with bandages.

"I know this is hard for you and Scott. But I need to know what happened so you can get all the help you need."

The nurse left, leaving the two men alone.

Mitch sniffled and took a deep breath.

"I... I was in the hospital today. And someone made me do something awful.."

"What did you do?"

Mitch took another deep breath, containing himself.

"I tried to kill myself." The officer wrote on his pad.

"And the person who made me do that was..."

Mitch looked up and pointed to the ambulance.

"Him. Travis."

The officer nodded and wrote on his pad once more. "Why did he make you do that?"

"He abused me, mentally and physically. He made me do what he wanted to do, he was so controlling. He even cheated on me with other men. But he made me feel safe. That's why I stayed with him, he told me what I was doing wrong and what I needed to change. But now I realize that he was just an abusive freak."

Mitch wiped his cheeks again.

"Anyways, uh... I wanted to see him and tell him I was done. With everything. I didn't want anything to do with him anymore. So I ran. I ran out of the hospital as fast as I could. To his house. Travis'. I got there and went in, another man walking out. They were having sex and I heard them."

Mitch let out a sob as the officer rubbed his back. "Sh.. It's ok. Take your time..."

He was trembling. He didn't know what was going to happen after he told the rest of the story.

He could get thrown in jail, Scott could die, Pentatonix will be over. Everything will be..

Gone.

Mitch struggled for breath.

"He whipped m-me. He f***ing whipped m-me! I w-was trying to t-talk to him but h-he just beat me! Then Scott C-came and they just fought. O-one punch after another. S-Scott did all o-of that to protect m-me, which T-Travis never did. But then..... Travis... He... H-he stabbed Scott in t-the back. Travis went to whip m-me again but Scott s-still fought. I went to grab a-another knife and they were p-punching each other again. And then... What I did.... Was u-unforgivable..."
