Trouble.

Chapter Twenty Two ~

Oh lord..." Savannah sighed.

"I'm serious! Mitch ACTUALLY drank a cheeseburger!" Jason laughed, sending Savi into hysterics. He looked over to her and kissed her cheek, making her blush.

"Then, Jerome ate those year old Red Vines under my computer desk..." Jason went on to say, "and Ryan back flipped into the pool. Not gonna lie, it was pretty good.." Savi continued to giggle. "Power moves only, huh?" She smiled and Jason nodded.

Jason grabbed Savi's hand and intertwined their fingers, making her giggle again. "I hated being away from you. Every day was torture, Savannah. I missed you so damn much. And I was so worried..." Jason managed to say, almost tearing up. "It's ok Jason. I'm here now..." She said and put her hand on his cheek. He smiled back at her and slowly placed his lips on hers.

Mitch stormed back into the house, slamming the door behind him, then getting the attention of his friends. They all turned to face him, watching him go into the bathroom.

"Guess she refused to come back..." Ian sighed.

"This is out of Mitch's character, don't you think...? Or has he changed?" Dakota asked.

"If anything, he got nicer. I haven't seen him lash out since Ruby...." Jerome said. All of the boys exchanged worried looks, not sure of what to do.

"Zoe! What are you doing here?! You should be with Mitch!"

The girl scoffed. "Whatever. I don't want to be with him."

He stepped out of the doorway, his dark brown eyes shining and his very dark hair was slightly gelled up. As always, his stubble was short, but visible. "What do you mean?"

"He yelled at me, Jordan." Zoe said, hugging her arms and feeling small. Jordan sighed and wrapped his arms around her. "Come inside then. Make yourself at home." He grabbed her hand and lead her inside.

Some time later, they were sat at the kitchen table. It was about midnight and the both of them had cups of coffee.

"So, you knew about everything?" Zoe asked.

"Yes. They called me afterwards, along with a few others. They actually gave me some of the money." Jordan told her. "How much?" She wondered, leaning forward slightly. "A few grand. Not much, but it helped furnish the condo." He shrugged.

"Of course! You just had to go and do that Mitch! Good job!" Mitch said to himself. He was still locked in the bathroom, refusing to come out. The boys tried everything. Not even Jerome could get him out.

When things got difficult, for Mitch or Jerome, they were there for each other and would always help each other out. But this wasn't like when he broke up with Ashley...

"Biggums?" Jerome knocked on the door softly. On the other side of the door, you could hear small sniffles and the clicks of Mitch's phone keyboard.

Jerome has been coming over everyday for a week, trying to get Mitch out of his room. But nothing worked. Jerome managed to get inside once, but that only lasted about 2 minutes and he was kicked out.

"Go away..." Mitch's raspy voice replied, no tone in his voice. Jerome sighed. "Come on, Mitch. Let me in, at least..."

"Did you see what she tweeted earlier..?" Mitch said, slowly opened the door, letting Jerome in. He walked in and sat on Mitch's bed. "No..?"

Mitch lifted his head, showing his red and puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks. He handed Jerome his phone, the tweet on display.

'@AshleeeyMaarie: Dear fangirls- Mitch is no where near as great of a boyfriend as he seems. Total dick.'

Jerome gasped and looked at Mitch, who was emotionlessly crying. "Oh, Mitch! How could she say that?" Mitch just shrugged, staring off into space. Jerome scooted over closer to his friend and put his hand on Mitch's shoulder.

"Listen, I'm sorry. I know you loved her, but you can live without her. I mean, you have us, and we are always here for you. Don't forget that, ok?" Jerome said, trying to smile but having trouble. Mitch looked at Jerome and smiled, putting his arm around his friends shoulder. "Thank you. I needed that..." He chuckled.

"How about I go shower and we can go somewhere?" Mitch suggesting and took Jerome by surprise. "Sure thing biggums! LEGGO!"

He told himself he would never do it again, but here he was. Doing something he never should've started in the first place. Mitch whimpered slightly from the pain.

Next thing he knew, he was passed out on the bathroom floor, blood starting to trickle onto the cold ground. His world faded to black, much to his delight.
