It's Always Been You

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

They arrive at the hospital. Mitch found out that his dad was in a car accident and they weren't sure if he was gonna make it. Mitch finds his mom in the hospital room with his dad.

*Mitch's POV

"Hey mom, how's he doing?" I ask worriedly. "The doctor just came in and said he has a chance of surviving" She replies trying to smile. I'm a little relieved at hearing this. Scott comes over and hugs me. Suddenly we hear a raspy voice. I turn to see that my dad was waking up. I run over to him. "Dad, are you okay? I love you so much" After a second he replies. "Yeah I think I'm gonna be okay, Mitch, I love you too" I start to tear up, relieved that he was gonna be okay. The doctor comes in and sees that he's awake. "Well, seeing that he's awake, he's definitely gonna make it" The doctor attempts to smile and then continues to list the broken broken bones he has and the recovery process. Scott and I stay with my mom and dad at the hospital for a couple hours. "Mitchie, you and Scott should go home and rest. It's getting late. Your father will be alright, hunny" She gets up and hugs me, then Scott. We leave the hospital and go home. I'm a little shaken up but glad he's gonna be okay.

*Scott's POV

We walk through the front door. Mitch slowly makes his way over to the couch. I can tell how exhausted he is. I sit down down next to him and grab his hand. He looks at me and says "Thank you for being there for me" "I always will be, Mitchie" He leans over and rests his head on my chest. "Do you just wanna lay here for the night love?" I ask sweetly. Mitch smiles at me calling him that. "Yeah" he replies sleepily. He adds "And tomorrow we can do that surprise date" I smile to myself. "Okay" I slowly lay down against the back of the couch. Mitch lays right next to me. I put my arm around him and pull him against me. We are spooning, I think to myself. This is adorable. We lay there and I slowly drift off to sleep.

*Mitch's POV

I wake up slowly. At first I don't know where I'm at. It took me a second to realize that I'm laying on the couch, with Scott's arm around me-cuddling me. I smile. I now remember falling asleep like this last night. I could get used to doing this every night with Scott. I slowly get up, trying not to disturb him. I check the clock and see that it's 9:30am. I go into the kitchen and start making coffee and breakfast. I hear rustling from the living room and look to see that Scott is slowly getting up. I smile. He's so adorable when he's half asleep. I continue to prepare breakfast, which includes eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit. All of Scott's favorite things. I suddenly feel arms wrap around my waist and a body against mine. "How are you feeling, Mitchie?" He whispers. I then remember everything that happened with my dad last night. "I'm fine, I should probably call my parents after breakfast though" I reply. "Okay" He then kisses me lightly on the cheek. "This food looks delicious babe" Scott says wide awake. "Sit down at the table and I'll serve it to you" I say sweetly. He smiles and goes to sit down.

*Scott's POV

Mitch sits across from me, eating some chocolate covered strawberries. We were on the date we were supposed to have yesterday. "Mmm these are so good" Mitch says an octave higher than usual. I smile, "I know right, here" I pick up another and feed it to him. He eats half and I eat the rest. "So, Scott.." he says drifting off. "Yeah?" I question curiously. "You are the bestest friend anyone could ask for" I slump at him calling me just a friend. Then he continues. "But I want more than that. I really like you Scott, way more than a friend" I feel a huge smile creep onto my face. "I always get butterflies around you, jealous when you are with other guys and lately I've really become aware of that." Mitch then gets up, takes hold of my hands and pulls me up. "Scott Hoying, will you please be my boyfriend?" He asks shyly, with a smile on his face. I'm a little in shock. All I can utter out is "Yes" before I grab him and kiss him passionately. He puts his arms around my neck and I put my hands on his waist. He goes on his tip toes and I lean down a little so that our lips can meet. The kiss was amazing. I felt like my knees were going to buckle. My heart was racing and my stomach was flipping.

*Mitch's POV

Kissing Scott in that moment was nearly one of the best things I experienced in my life. He pulled me closer to him with his strong hands, so that there was no space between us. I opened my mouth, and the kissing got more passionate. If that was even possible. After a couple of minutes, we parted. We were both out of breath. My heart was still racing and my stomach was still doing backflips from the kiss. I was ecstatic that Scott said yes. This perfect man was now mine. He smiled down at me. "I'm so happy!!" He nearly yelled. He picked me and swung me around, hugging me tight. I started laughing. This was probably the best day of my life.

(Author's note: this is my favorite chapter so far, it was so fun writing it!)
