Say Something

Secrets

*The next morning*

Scott wakes up with a smile on his face, remembering last night. He checks his clock. “9:20 am” He thinks. He decides to stay in bed and remember things that happened last night.

Meanwhile, Mitch is still asleep in his bed.

*Mitch’s dream*

Scott: Mitch…

Scott says grabbing Mitch’s arm. He turns around with tears streaming down his cheek. Face red. Scott pulls him into a tight hug.

Scott: Mitch I’m so sorry. I never meant to make you feel that way. Please forgive me, Mitchie. If you can’t forgive me I..I don’t know what I’ll do. I can’t lose you, Mitch! I need you!

Mitch slowly looks up into Scott’s eyes. Both red from crying. Both teary eyed and holding each other.

Mitch: Scott..

He says softly. Scott can’t bring himself to look at Mitch. He clinches his jaw shut to fight tears.

Mitch: Kiss me…

Scott looks down at the tiny tenor, in shock of what he just heard. They stare into each other’s eyes for a few seconds, before Scott slowly leans down as Mitch reaches up to kiss Scott.

Just as they’re about to kiss….

*Reality*

Mitch wakes up, breathing heavy and holding a pillow close to his chest. He quickly looks around to see if Scott saw what he was doing.

He sighs in relief when he confirms he is alone. Resting his head back on his pillow, still holding another and closing his eyes, he calms his breathing.

“What was that?” He thinks. “Why was I leaving? Why were we crying? Why did he say he needed me? Were we boyfriends? Di-did we…kiss?” A million questions race through his mind all at once, but is interrupted when Scott walks in.

Scott: Mitch? You awake?

He asks softly as he peaks through the door.

Mitch jumps a little, unexpecting Scott to come in.

Mitch: Yes..

He says quietly. Scott smiles and comes in.

Scott: Good! I was thinking, maybe we can go swimming today!

Mitch smiles sitting up.

Mitch: Yes! I’d love that!
