Adora's P.O.V

Bell and Mitch totally disappeared after we got home. Mitch's car is gone, so they went somewhere.

Jerome is fidgety and really on-edge, and Preston went to record, and Jason is in the kitchen, making dinner.

"So... Jerome..." I try to make small talk. "So... Adora..." He mocks me, and it makes me smile.

"How's life?" He rolls his eyes. "Fantastic, how 'bout yours?" I tilt my hand side to side, as to say iffy.

Then we lapse into silence again. Then the door, and the fuming Mitch, and the curious Jerome, and then things go to shit.

Jerome asks Mitch what's wrong. Mitch turns around and punches Jerome in the right side of his jaw. He stumbles backwards.

Mitch stares at him with no sympathy or regret in his eyes. He spins around and stalks up the stairs.

I come out of my frozen state. "Oh my God Jerome!" I run over to him where he is rolling from side to side in pain.

"It huuuuuurrrts" he moans, holding his jaw. "JASON! GET AN ICE PACK OR SOMETHING! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!"

I hear Jason fumble around in the kitchen as I avert my attention to Jerome. "Come on, let me help you up." I grab his shoulders and pull him into a sitting position.

Jason runs up behind me and passes me the ice pack. "Is he okay? What happened?!" Jason freaks out.

"I'll explain later. Just go back in the kitchen" I snap, pulling with all my strength to get Jerome in a standing position.

I finally get him on his feet. "Move Jerome. Bathroom now." He stumbles to the closest bathroom, which is near the door.

Even this half bathroom is huge! I help him up on the counter. "I need you to let go of your face. Please" I plead, slowly moving his hand.

I finally got a look at it. "Oh my..." It is already blue, purple and black, with a small cut, which has blood oozing out of it. It looked really bad.

"Okay, sit still. Let me look for bandages." I fling open the cupboards and search them. I finally find the roll up bandages and I pull them out, with the gauze.

I unroll the bandages and rip open the gauze package. I tend to the wound. "There. Now hold this there, and I am going to help you to your room."

He nods and cringes, moaning again. "Okay, let's go."

Mitch's P.O.V

I just punched my best friend. But my angry self doesn't notice that. My angry self is blaming Bell for something she had no control over.

And it was my fault. My fault that I called her a slave. That was low. Like, really low. So I decide to leave a voicemail that she probably won't listen to.

~After dat voicemail action doe~

I tried to record that voicemail at least 6 times, just to get it right. After 6 tries, I finally said everything I wanted too.

I lay on my bed in silence, replaying todays earlier events, happy and upsetting.

Before I know it, I'm drifting into a nightmare filled sleep.

~Dream~

"Bell!  Bell, where are you?!" I turn a building corner to see Bell, making out with another guy. "Bell?"

Bell turns to me, her lipstick smeared lips smirking. "Hi Mitch! This is my new boyfriend Jason!"

I freeze. "Jason?" He smirks too, his lips also with lipstick all over them. "Hello Mitch. Nice to see you've come and try to get her back, but she's mine now."

"He's right Mitch. I don't love you anymore, you ruined it. Jason treats me much better!" Jason kisses her cheek and her giggling chases me down the road, as I run, tears streaming down my face.

I hear my phone ringing in my pocket. I ignore it. It continues to ring. I collapse to the ground.

~Dream Ends~

My eyes flicker open and my phone is actually ringing. I fumble for it and answer it, not even looking at who it was.

"Hello?" I answer, clearing my throat. "Hi Mitch, it's me."

Italics= Mitch Bold= Bell

Bell?

Yeah, it's me... surprised?

Yeah, kinda, I thought you wouldn't call, I kinda fucked things up bad, didn't I?

Right you are my friend, right you are. But... I still love you anyways.

My heart stops. She does? Really?!

You do?

Yeah, why wouldn't I? No matter how bad you screw up, you will always be my benja.

I didn't... I really...

You thought you screwed up that bad?

Yesh

Well, not enough to push me away. The bean is still here!!

Glad to have you back!

We talked for about another hour, until I was completely cooled down.

I really did miss you though baby gurl.

I missed you too. I really didn't know if I was going to have enough courage to call you... glad I did.

Yeah.... me too. Oh shit!

What?!

I have to apologize to Jerome. I punched him today after I got home!

Shithead

Great to know you care

Whatever, go say sorry!

Okay, love you

I love you too

Bye

Baiiiiii

And with the end to that conversation, I went to go apologize.
