Seto's pov

I frowned Ian started to look worse. "Seto, I'm okay" he quietly says I shook my head. "No, you're not," Ian, " I say, feeling his forehead."You're burning up" I sigh he pulled me close "Just stay with me" he mumbled softly kissing my cheek I pull away whining "Ian" I say shakily "I'll work on a potion hopefully it's going to help" I say kissing his forehead and sit at the desk and get started.

-Time skip a few days-

Ian was getting worse and his infection was getting worse "Seto" Iook over and saw Mitch. I look at Ian kissing his cheek "I'll be right back " I mumbled he groaned and nodded.

"Mitch, what's wrong? I asked he whined "we need to talk" he said taking my hand
Heading the living room and seeing everyone I frown "what?" I ask "don't you think Ian is getting worse?" Tyler asked I shook my head "No he's fine! He keeps saying he's fine! So he's fine!" I yelled angrily Rob and Preston grabbed my hands "I don't think he is" Preston says I whine shakily "we'll all be here with you" Jason says I let my head hang "No he's fine" I weakly say shakily Tyler hugging me tightly.

We all made our way back Ian saw us and he sighed "you guys told him" he quietly said I whined walking over and getting in the bed with him.

Everyone stayed for a bit and then decided to leave us alone "why didn't you say anything?" I ask softly "so you would deny it? My little Sorcerer I just wanna be with you" he quietly said I whine shaking my head. "Your gonna be fine you have to be fine" I say shakily gripping his shirt.

He gently made me look up leaning in to kiss me I kiss back Ian pulled away leaning into me I held on to him gently rubbing his cheek kissing his forehead "your so pretty" Ian mumbled weakly smile "yeah? Not as pretty as you with those pretty blue eyes I love" I mumble shakily he smiled "I love you so much" I whisper "your such a good person" I mumbled kissing his cheek holding his hand.

Mitch's pov

I sighed shakily walking back and forth "hey sit or you'll open your wounds again" Tyler says I ignored him "Sit Mitch!" Jerome growled I look back "what is your issue? Be mad for all I care but don't give me attitude I get the right to be worried" I grumble

"Maybe if you didn't overreact this wouldn't have happened" he says I quickly look at him "what did you say?" I ask Jason quickly coming over to me "is it my fault Jerome? Just tell me" I say Rob trying to get Jerome to calm down.

He got up "yeah maybe it is! Maybe it's all your fault! It's your fault my father's dead and it's your fault that Ian is going to die! Why couldn't you just stay put!" He screamed I take a shaky breath backing up.

I weakly sigh "am I going to be a bad parent too then?" I ask he looked away I take a deep breath backing away from everyone trying to stop me I actually felt my heart break in two. I huffed and turn away heading to my room.

Rob's pov

"Jerome there is no way in hell you blame Mitch for all this?!" I yelled he kept quiet "Jerome! He is going to hurt himself or worse and you don't care?!" I yelled angrily he got up "of course I care!" He yelled back "then why would you say it?!" I yelled back he looked away.

"Because he's hurting Robbie" Preston mumbled I growled and walked to Mitch's room.

Mitch's pov

I open my eyes feeling how wet my pillow was I sit up and it was dark I rub my eyes and sigh shakily hugging myself it's my fault mom always said no one would like me- it's my fault Ian is going to die, it's my fault the chief died it's my fault no one's happy anymore I whine out and grab some pen and paper writing down something for Jerome and Seto.

I slowly open my door and walk out everything quiet, I walk over to Jerome's room and quietly open the door I look at Jerome weakly smiling as I set my phone down next to his and tape his note on Rome's crib I reach down kissing his cheek "mama loves you a lot" I quietly say I back up and head to Seto's room.

I sigh weakly seeing them both asleep I set the note between them and walk over to Seto's desk seeing a bunch of potion bottles I take a few that had X marks and go back to my room. I sit there on the bed and pulling out a pocket knife I sit up against the headboard looking at my black scars and tear up "it's my fault" I say over and over cutting up my arm going deeper each time I flinched that time and stopped not wanting to wake anyone up.

I grabbed the bottles and drank them all down not caring- I don't care what happens I'm just done with it all I'm so done. I laid down feeling so tired. I whispered closing my eyes letting the potions take effect.

Jerome's pov

I whined hearing Rome cry I sit up looked over I tensed seeing a note I  quickly got up headed over picked up Rome and give him his pacifier and take the note and see Mitch's handwriting.

"Jerome I'm sorry- I'm sorry I lived for so long. I love you so much. I'm sorry for being with you and  Causing so much pain for you. I know you'll be a great dad for Rome and I know he needs you not me. Please don't be sad, I love you- Mitch"

I quickly felt uneasy, what did I do? I quickly head to Mitch's room I knock but don't hear anything I open the door stopping when I smelled blood. My eyes widen when I saw Mitch on his bed I whined out running to him seeing the bottles all over, the cuts he was still bleeding out.

"SETO" I screamed out shaking Mitch listening for a heartbeat not hearing anything I teared up doing CPR "Jerome!?" Seto yelled running in I look at him "what was in the bottles?!" I yelled he backed up yelling for Tyler "I'm not sure! They were messed up- no good!" He yelled shakily he snapped his fingers his hands glowing pushing me out of the way I tensed.

"Seto?!" Tyler yelled shakily "I need the stupid pump and I need the first aid kit- our first aid kit!" He yelled shakily I whined feeling sick at that point everyone showed up "Jerome let them work" Jason says pulling me I stay put.

They both worked hard Seto and Tyler were in tears "No-" Preston whimpered we all stayed quiet  I cried softly about to lose it when we all heard a soft gasp I fall to my knees hugging myself "See Jerome?! Instead of yelling at him you should have been more understanding to him!" Rob yelled at me "That's enough!" Tyler yelled "we won and we are still ripping each other apart! It's no one's fault it has never been anyone's fault!" He yelled angerly."

Rob walked out Preston following Jason stayed "Jerome please check on Ian" Seto said I shakily got up watching them stick a tube down Mitch's throat and clean up his cuts "come on" Jason mumbled I looked at him "Can you check on Rome?" I shakily say he nods and leaves.

I get to Seto's room I whine out covering my mouth "Jerome what happened?" Ian asked forcing himself up I cried out shaking my head gripping my head.
