(Scott's POV) 

Everyday single day since the day I came home from the army, we've been loosing a lot of money. Mitch and I haven't been eating a lot since we don't  have the money to afford it. We don't even have money to pay rent, which can get us kicked out. Mitch is getting more sink and sink which is flickering his Cancer disease. We soon get a call that says we cant live in the house cause we didn't pay rent. We lost our car and Mitch lost his job. Now we have 60 days to find a new home. Which I'm sure wont happen. As me and Mitch sit outside by the roads, thinking this is the only place we got.

Mitch looks into my eyes, hopeless. "Scott, I don't think I'll make it. I'm not feeling any better." Mitch stated, crying in the process. "No, Mitch. Don't say that. Your going to stay strong. Not for me. But for yourself." I said, pulling him in my lap as we sat, homeless and hungry. "Scott, W-We cant do this.." He said, still crying. "W-What?" I said, alert and absurd. "S-Scott, I know you don't want me. Your doing this because you hate me. I caused this. I pissed off my boss and got fired. Its my fault that we have no where to live and no food on our plates or in front of us. Its all my fault an-" Mitch yammered, but I cut him off by slamming my lips against his. "Mitch, none of this is your fault, please don't blame yourself for this torture." I said, his bloodshot eyes, seeing his brown. "But Scott... We cant live like this.. We have no where to go and, I have Cancer and we don't even have the correct money for a hospital. Kirstie and Jeremy moved to Europe. And we don't now anyone else..." He said, clutching on my shirt for dear life.

"Mitch, its ok. We'll go through it. I know it." I reassured. "Scott... I'm loosing it..." Mitch said, slowly drifting "No NO MITCH STAY WITH ME!" I yelled as he was laid down on the ground, his head on my legs. "Scott... I'm dying.... you have to continue on without me. I'm done. I'm over." He said, coughing and wheezing "No, Mitch. Stay with me! Ill get help!" I promised. "Goodbye Scott, I love you. Stay strong. You can make it without me. Ill see you up there in a couple years" Mitch said, crying but smiling, knowing Scott would stay strong. "No... Please..." I begged. "You cant leave me. We promised to get married and have kids!" I reminded him. "Tell the kids what I was like. tell them about their mother and how she left.. Please Scott, don't loose faith just because I'm gone. You can still grow." Mitch said, kissing my jaw. "I love you so much Scott" Mitch repeated. "I'm sorry I couldn't keep my job, I'm sorry I have Cancer, I'm sorry for bumping into you at Starbucks when we first met, I'm sorry for kissing you, I'm sorry for saying I love you, I'm sorry for saying yes to you when you asked me to be your boyfriend, I'm sorry I was raped, I'm sorry you had to deal with Travis, I'm sorry I said yes when you proposed, I'm sorry for being alive. I'm sorry for running away when you were talking with your dad and you were going to leave me. I'm sorry for messing up your life" Mitch finished. I was on tears after tears, sobbing and shaking. "I love you Mitch, you didn't ruin anything.." "I love you too Scott" Mitch said before drifting off into death. "NO MITCH PLEASE..." I said, resting my head on his dead body. "I'm sorry.." I whispered.....

I'm so so sorry I had to write this. My dad made me cry and said cruel stuff about me right to my face, so I'm in a bad mood. Oops?
