Aha!

Together at Last

*Avery's POV*

I was really proud of myself. I can't believe in actually just saved Mitch! I wonder what will happen now though.

We are on our way to the hospital to pick up Avi! HE IS GONNA BE OKAY! I'm pretty sure I was jumping up and down in my seat in the car. Scott, who was next to me, was laughing and smirking at my hyperness the whole time.

When we got there, the woman behind the desk asked Mitch "Are you here to make an appointment?"

"Hmm? No. We just-"

"You should really get your hands checked out, sir."

Mitch looked down at his hands, and avoided our eyes guiltily.

Of course we all looked too. His fingertips were crusted in blood and his palms were red and blistery.

"Mitch! What happened! Why haven't you been to the doctor?!" Kirstie shouted.

"Uuuhh.. well... I..."

"Mitch, you said you felt fine. You said nothing was wrong." Kirstie looked betrayed.

"I'm sorry! They.. they didn't hurt! They are just rope burns..."

"Mitch! That would make them hurt worse! Are you kidding me? Can you even move them?! I know people do this to take attention away from them, but Mitch, come on!"

Everyone stared at Esther. That was the first time she had spoken since Avi had been here.

"Fine." Mitch said.

* Mitch's POV*

So everyone made me get an appointment for my hands.

I have to say, I couldn't say anything back because they did hurt. A lot.

Good thing Avery saved me. She is so brave. Nobody ever really notices her, but it's true.

And now Avi's okay too!!

But there is still something missing...

"Hey guys.. what's gonna happen to Kevin?"

They all looked at me.

"He is gonna have to be interrogated. He is an accomplice..." Esther answered.

Oh crap.

*Avi's POV*

I sat up in my bed. This is it! I'm going home!

Mitch walked I first, and I don't know what got into me. I started crying. he walked over and have me a hug. "I missed you so much." He said.

Then Scott, Then Esther, then Kirstie.

"Where's Kevin I asked. They all exchanged glances.

"Not it!" Kirstie said, placing a finger on her nose.

"Not it!" Mitch said

"Not it!" Esther said

"Scott!!" They all said in unison, pointing to Scott. Guess he has to tell me...
