Threats

Chapter 11

Scott's POV

My heart sank as soon as I saw Mitch in his room.
His face has a big cut on it and his eyes were shut. His face looked to be in pain and there was a big ice pack on his stomach. His arm was bruised, and his heart monitor was beeping.
What the hell could have happened?!
"Wh-what... what happened?!" I asked.
"I found him outside of the school, completely blacked out. He was pushed by someone I guess. He hasn't woken up Scott. I'm scared.." Kirstie says.
Pushed?
Outside of school??
NO. THE KIDS WHO WERE PICKING ON ME. THEY HURT HIM. WHAT?!
"It's a-all my fault.. I didn't think he would stay there... I thought he would have gone with you. I'm such a dumbass..."
"No, you just weren't thinking."
I look down, and hold back tears.
Mitch could have been dead because of me.
He probably hates me now...

I turn around and face the door so Kirstie can't see my face.
A nurse walks in to check on mitch, and I watch her.
She picks Mitch's arm up and puts some ointment on Mitch's bruises, she puts some type of medical lotion on Mitch's cuts on his face, and she takes the icepack off his stomach.
"Mitch honey... time to wake up. You have guests." The nurse says.
"Is he going to wake up?" Kirstie asks.
The nurse nods. "He's just in shock from getting hurt. He should be up soon. Maybe hearing a voice he is used to would help?" She says.
Kirstie looks at me.
I just stand there. I don't move. I just look at the ground.
"Scott, you want help mitch?" She asks.
"He probably hates me now."
"Don't say that, he loves you. It's not your fault."
"But I LEFT him."
"It's still not your fault. Help him, please?"
I nod.
I walk to mitch and kneel down beside him.
"Mitchy... wake up honey. It's Scott, you're gonna be okay." I say.
His head moves and he starts to wake up.
He opens his eyes and looks at me and then jumps in pain.
"O-ow, shi-shit!!" He yells.
I look down, and feel terrible for him.
"I-I'm so sorry, mitch. I shouldnt have left you there."
"You show-shouldn't of, yes. But it's o-okay. You couldn't of helped me anyw-anyways..."
"What happened?"
"T-the guy t-that was picking o-on you... t-the tall one... h-he cornered me, a-and beat m-me." He says.
"O-oh my gosh, Mitch... I-I'm so sorry..."
"I-it's okay.. I'm okay..." mitch says, as he sits himself up.
"O-oh m-my gosh, my s-stomach hurts s-so bad..."
"Did he punch you there?"
"Mh-mhmm... it's causing so much pa-pain, I feel sick..."
I sit on the side of Mitch's bed and rub his back.
"You'll be okay, Mitchy. Take deep breaths."
He takes a deep breath and the moves his face into my chest. He feels the cut in his face.
"At least my fave doesn't have too many cuts..." he says, trying to get his mind off of his stomach.
"I'm so sorry, babe..." I say.
"Babe?" Kirstie says.
"Mh-mhmm." Mitch says, with his head still in my chest.
"Surpr-surprise!!" Mitch giggles, and holding his stomach.
"Awe, you guys!! I'm happy for you!!" She says.
I smile.
Mitch moves his head out of my chest and leans it on my shoulder.
"Ca-can I st-stay with you?" He asks me.
"Of course, you don't have to ask. You can always stay with me." I say.
"I-I need cuddles." He whines.
"Later, okay?" I say. He nods.
"You can leave whenever you'd like mitch, all your tests that we did came back good, meaning that you have no damage done to the inside of your body. Just a few cuts and bruises, and a sore stomach. You'll be okay. Get some rest." She says.
"I-I wanna leave now..." Mitch mumbles.
"Okay, want me to carry you?" I ask.
He nods and moves his arms up, so I can pick him up.
I carefully pick him up, being cautious of his stomach.
I hold him like a baby, while he clings onto me and his stomach.
"I'll bring you some clothes, okay Mitchy?" Kirstie says.
"Mhmm... t-thank you..." he says.
"Welcome, see you soon." She says, walking out.
I walk down to the elevator, still holding mitch.
We take it down to my car.
"Front or back?" I ask.
"B-back, please." He says.
"You got it." I say, laying him in the backseat.
I get in the car, and drive back to my house.
