It was getting too long so I decided to make a part 2. Thank y'all for reading it really means a lot to me. Love y'all!

"Why aren't you looking at me?" I asked and he looked at me in and instant before looking away again. I felt tears well up in my eyes. "It's okay I get it. You're disgusted with me... This is why I didn't want to tell you. I'm just going to go."
To be honest I thought he would interject and tell me something like, "no! It's not that!" But he didn't do anything. He stayed facing away from me and I let the tears fall as I backed out of the classroom.
(Scott's POV)
It was so hard listening to him say those last words. Listening to him say what he thought I was thinking. It was the opposite. I had to control my feelings until I quit. I went straight to my computer after he left and wrote my resignation.
I didn't know what I was going to do but I could not teach a student that I was falling in love with. My heart broke when I saw him leave with that manifestation of an ashtray. My heart broke when I saw him getting beaten in the parking lot. My heart broke more when he started to seize right in front of me.
But my heart was completely shattered when he told me what had been happening to him. I had been around him for over a month while this was happening and I didn't do anything. I knew there was something but I just didn't know what.
My heart ached when he said that he thought I was disgusted in him but I couldn't say anything because I had to think. I had to control my feelings and I had leave the school before I did something stupid.
The next day was my last day but I didn't tell anyone that. I presented that day as normal and I thought I was doing a good job until Mitch walked in. He had red puffy eyes and a hood on. He came in without looking at me and I bit my lip to keep from crying. After class was over he bolted as fast as he could out of there and I couldn't blame him.
I sat down at my desk and started to write him a letter when the principal walked in. I got up closing the notebook and approached him.
"We're sorry to see you leave but it was a pleasure to have you for as long as we did." He said and I shook his hand.
"Thank you for understanding. I just don't think this is the best time in my life to be teaching." I said and he nodded.
"Of course. Your last pay check will be mailed in the next week." I shook his hand once again and thanked him before he left. I started to pack my desk up when I heart a small voice.
"You're leaving?" He asked and I looked up to see his sad eyes making my heart ache. You're doing this to him.
I nodded and he stepped a couple steps towards me. "Just like that? You're leaving? Because of me?" He asked and I shook my head.
"Not in the way you think." I said and a tear fell down his cheek. I wanted no more than to just wipe the tears away and hug him tight but I couldn't.
"Not in the way I think? It's not because you're disgusted with me!? Not even a full day after I tell you everything, you leave." I shook my head.
"Mitch you don't understand. I need to leave and you need to forget about me-" he cut me off.
"Why!? Why are you doing this!? What do you mean I don't understand? Why do you need to leave? I'm not just gonna forget about you! You're the only one I've ever trusted enough to tell my darkest secrets!"
