Jerome's pov

I gently rubbed Romes back walking back seeing Mitch try out some glasses with Preston and Tyler I kept quiet to not scare Mitch.

"Mitch how are these one?" Preston says Mitch looking around stopping when he noticed me I weakly smile "I think you look good in them" I mumbled softly he looked away shaking his head taking them off. I frown and kept watching Mitch stopping at a pair of black glasses Tyler smiled "I think these are nice " he says he looked at me and I nodded "their great!" I smile Mitch looked at Tyler nodding.

Great I'm glad we could find some good ones, you should pick another pair just incase " Tyler added Mitch nodded I jump slightly when Rome started to cry. I rubbed his back. I noticed Mitch watching me "did you want to hold him? He's been very fussy" I say Mitch looking away.

I sigh and walk closer "Mitch I know I said some hurtful things but a bad perent is not one" I say in a serious tone walking over sitting at the end of the bed. "Tyler, Preston can we talk alone for a bit?" I asked Tyler sighing and nodding "I'll be back " he says taking Rome from me I nod.

I move closer as they left I sit next to him reaching over to hold his hand rubbing the bandages I gently lean on him "I wouldn't blame you if you'd beat the shit out of me" I say.

Mitch pulled his hand away sighing "Mitch please say something" I mumble shakily Mitch shaking his head "He can't, he lost his voice " Preston said peaking in I frown and look at Mitch who glared at Preston before nodding. I shakily sighed "I'm so sorry Mitch" I shakily mumbled "I'm and awful person " I mumbled even softer.

Mitch sighed Tyler coming back "Jason has Rome but I'm taking Mitch to see Seto" he says helping Mitch up struggled I stayed put watching them leave.

Seto's pov

I opened my eyes hugging Ian's pillow feeling how wet my face was I noticed Brice was asleep. "Seto" I hear I look over seeing Mitch, Tyler and Preston I whimper Mitch quickly hugging me tightly I hugged back crying out.

"Mitch I'm glad your okay!" I sobbed Mitched whined out I frown "Mitch lost his voice " Tyler said I whimper out letting go of Mitch laying down. Mitch quickly took my hand laying down with me shaking his head. I close my eyes tightly my head hurting more.

When I opened my eyes it was dark and Mitch was still here with me. I hugged Ian's pillow whining. I want Ian and only Ian I shake my head crying softly.

I felt someone rub my back I look over seeing Brice I scowled "back off I don't need you" I say shakily he helped me sit up. I whine feeling sick "Listen your making yourself feel sick" he says "shut up! Go away and leave I didn't even want you here! I don't want you I want Ian!" I screamed loudly.

He held my hand "I know you want Ian but I can't bring him back" he says I growled my hands starting to glow I look over seeing Mitch hug me tightly I scoff and calm down "I wanna go see Ian" I mumbled Brice nodding "of course, you just have to eat something" he says I scoff "sure" I mumed Brice smiling "great I'll go make something " he says leaving.

I look at Mitch who was looking at his hands and arms I frown grabbing him "what were you thinking!" I yelled shaking him he cried shakily. I growled "It was hard enough to bury Ian I don't even wanna bury anyone else!" I screamed crying myself Mitch shook his head. I pulled him in hugging him tightly he hugged back I hid my face closing my eyes tightly.

Brice came back with Jerome gently touching my back I flinch seeing his smile I let go of Mitch "I want Mitch to come" I say as he handed me his food "thats fine Jerome is coming too since I've never been" he says I grumble and take little bites.

Mitch's pov

I whined as we walked twords the village Jerome moved Rome to the other side and leaned closer "Hold my arm" he says I glare at him and ignored him and kept walking.

"Mitch I don't want you to get hurt" he says I scoff, now he cares. I keep walking keeping up with Brice who was carrying Seto, I flinched slightly hearing Rome fuss in Jerome's arms.

I so badly wanted to hold him and kiss his cheeks "I tried Rome but your mama is stubborn " I hear him say I glare at him. Jerome weakly smile "he just wants you to hold him" he says I look away even I wanted to I can't- I have no feeling or strength in my arms.

Once we made it Jerome's mom was waiting for us outside. Jerome handed Rome to her and looked at me "go rest up I got Brice and Seto" he says I look at Brice who nods.

I sighed and walked inside sitting on the couch Jerome's mom sat next to me handing me Rome I tensed shaking my head "nonsense he's your precious angel " she gently says I look at Rome his eyes opening slightly I whimper closing my eyes tightly trying my hardest to pull him closer.

"Mitch can I ask you something, I know right now you can't talk but, why would you ever try something like what you did?" She asked I open my eyes looking at her. I sighed shakily shaking my head. She got up and came back with a pen and paper I grip the pen sighing 'My fault everyone died' I wrote "What? Who told you that?" She asked.

I set the pen down shaking my head, I didn't want her getting mad at Jerome "Was it who I think it was?" She asked I said nothing she sighed "I'm going to tear him a new one" she huffed I looked at Rome who was asleep "what else did he say? Is that why you won't hold your son? What did he say?" She asked I shake my head.

I move my glasses slightly still feeling wired with them, I rub my eyes feeling super tired. "Here let me put Rome in his crib " she says taking him I sigh weakly
Watching she left and came back with a pillow and blanket I weakly sigh laying down "you rest up " she mumbled setting the blanket on me I slip my glasses off and sigh shakily my eyes closing falling back asleep.

I whined opening my eyes I flinched seeing Jerome there "hey" he mumbles I cover my face with the blanket "come on, I know you can't resist my handsome face" he mumbled softly I roll my eyes tensing when he pulled the blanket down grabbing my face. "What do I have to do for you to forgive me?" He asked I sigh turning away from him.

"I'll do anything" he says gently ruffling my hair I sigh, I wanna stop fighting. I wanna give up I wanna die so I can be free from this pain. He won't let me. "Mitch I'm sorry, I'll say sorry a million times over I know words hurt and I'll hurt myself if it would make you just look at me" he quietly says I frown.

I don't want him to hurt himself we've already hurt enough. I put my glasses on turning to him shaking my head I sit up Holding his hand, I smile at the feel at his hand I look away pulling my hand away shaking my head. I noticed the paper from earlier and lean over 'Give me time' I write and show him.

He sighed and nodded "I'll wait forever if I have to" he says leaning down yo kiss my bandaged I weakly sigh pulling away flinching when I heard Rome cry. Jerome got up ans picked him up "will you please hold him?" He asked I sigh and nod he smiled and laid him in my arms.

I gently laid back down with Rome holding his little hand smiling when he calmed down I sigh softly. I kept looking at Rome gently rubbing his cheeks I look at Jerome as he walked to the kitchen and looked back at Rome. I kiss his cheek. I hear the door knocking  Jerome quickly walked over opening the door. I see Tyler and Jason with a worried look I held Rome closer as I forced myself up the three talked quietly.

I tensed Jerome looking at me helping Me up taking Rome  "Short story, Seto's pregnant" he mumble I look at Tyler who nodded I sigh shakily worried for Seto. I know how much it ment to him to have kids with Ian. I gripped Tyler arm wanting to go with him. Jerome sighed "Seto is still sitting up with Brice" Jerome said Tyler nodded "your coming with?" He asked me I nod. He held on to me as we went outside.
