It's Okay to be Different

A/N: Oooh double Scott POV update

Death is peaceful. I don't know why so many people are afraid of dying.

There's no Heaven, no Hell. It's just all... green. Grass, trees, flowers. A big field. The weather is perfect. Just enough sun so you don't get burnt, but it's shining bright, without a cloud in the sky. It's not hot. It's not cold. It's warm, the perfect warm. The warm that everyone wishes they could have.

The great thing about being dead... is that I'm not the only one here either. All of my friends are here. Travis, Troye, Tyler. They're all here. Mitchie's here. Kirstie's here. Avi and Kevin are here.

My mom. She's here too. And my dad.

When did all of these people die?

I lie down on the grass and put my hands behind my head. I look up at the cloudless sky and relax, closing my eyes to savior the flawless environment.

I think this is the gray area between Hell and Heaven. I haven't been good enough to go to Heaven. I've killed people, I've broken the rules, cheated on tests, snuck out of the house, had sex before marriage, and gotten high and drunk on multiple occasions. But I haven't exactly been bad enough to go to Hell. The people that I killed were only killed due to my frenzy of hunger while I was with Alex. When I snuck out and got drunk or high, I caved in due to peer pressure. I never wanted to do those things.

Maybe they're just trying to figure out where to put me.

A loud voice bellows through this little perfect world. "PUT ME DOWN YOU ASSHOLE! I'LL KILL YOU!"

Now who would say such a thing in such a peaceful place?

The ground rumlbes beneath me and then it's almost like the world has been hit by a meteorite. The whole world shakes around me. It settles for a moment before it happens again, this time tossing me from my position on the ground.

I hear Mitch's beautiful voice. But it's pained, he sounds hurt. "AVI STOP! DON'T KILL HIM PLEASE!" Don't kill who, Mitchie? I thought we were already dead.

Suddenly, the world around me changes.

It's... Mitchie's house? And Mitch is on the floor. Who is that on top of him?

Is that... me? Why am I hurting my own Mitchie?

Avi and Kevin are here too. Kevin is just standing attentively, watching whatever is going down with his full attention. Avi looks furious though, his blue eyes are glowing with anger.

"Mitchie!" I yell out but no one acknowledges me. I run up and try to grab Mitch but my hands slip through his body. "What the fuck?" I mutter.

Suddenly, I(?) pick Mitch up and throw him all the way across the house. Now why would I do such a thing?

Avi's eyes glow even brighter and then I fly across the room too, but in the opposite direction.

"STOP IT AVI! YOU'RE GOING TO HURT HIM!" Mitch screams with tears streaming down his face.

"THIS ISN'T SCOTT, MITCH! WE MIGHT NOT HAVE A CHOICE!" Avi shouts back and I frown.

'Why does Avi want to kill me?' Mitch gasps and his eyes widen as even more tears fall down his perfect cheeks.

'Scott?' I hear his beautiful voice in my head.

'Hi Mitchie.' I say happily. He makes me so happy. He's literally my favorite person ever. 'Why is Avi trying to kill me?'

'That's not you, Scott. And why the hell do you sound so damn blissful?'

As he says that, the man who supposedly isn't me flies into the air once again and is slammed into the ground. I hear a loud crack and intense pain shoots all the way from my lower back to the nape of my neck. I scream out in pain and fall to my knees, almost screeching. The same sound erupts from the mouth of my other body.

"AVI WHAT THE FUCK?" Mitch shrieks as he runs over to the body.

"HE WAS ABOUT TO SLICE YOUR THROAT OPEN, MITCH, WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?" He then uses his magic to lift Mitch away from the body and place him on the opposite side of the house.

Mitch sighs and looks down as more tears begin to well in his eyes. "I just want my Scotty back," He whispers.

"I do too, Mitch, but you can't try to protect his body when it isn't him inside of it. This is Alex we're dealing with, not Scott."

"Then cage him for now. We need to find out how to appease his soul." Mitch says. What did Avi mean by we're not dealing with Scott? And why are we appeasing a soul?

"The funny thing is that you'll never find out." A deep malicious voice comes from my body that is still crumpled on the ground.

"Shut the fuck up, Alex." Avi snarls as his eyes glow a brighter blue.

I feel another sharp pain, like a hot knife is cutting through all of my skin, and scream again. I writhe around on the floor like it will soothe the pain but I think it makes it worse. I notice in my peripheral vision, that 'Alex' is writhing in pain as well.

'Mitchie! Make him stop! It hurts so bad!'

"Avi!" Avi turns his attention to Mitch but the pain doesn't stop coursing through my veins. "Everything you're doing to that body, Scott is feeling it as well. You're hurting him!"

The pain instantly stops and I sigh in relief. 'Thank you Mitchie.'

'You're welcome Scott. I love you so much.'

'I love you too, baby.'

'We're gonna find a way to free you, I swear.'

'I thought I already am free...'

Mitch's eyes widen and he takes a deep breath. "Alex, you bastard! What have you done to Scott!?"

"Let's just say..." He smirks sinisterly. "He's taken care of."
