Step Up

Random Text (continued)

The doctors rush to help Tori calm down, while the others wait in the waiting room, try decide to play a board game to pass time and get their minds off of everything.

The play Uno.

Kirstie: Haha! Draw four, Kevin!

Kevin: Man!

He playfully whines as he draws his cards.

Avi: Reverse!

He says as he puts a card down.

Kevin draws a skip card.

Kevin: Man!

Kirstie smiles and puts down her card.

Scott puts his reverse card down.

Kirstie: Draw two, KO!

Kevin: Dang girl! You've been attacking me all game!

He laughs.

Kirstie: Sorry, Kev! Can't compete with the master if you're gonna be a baby!

She jokes.

Mitch: Scramble deck!

He yells. Scramble deck is where you all get up and change the order of turns.

Avi puts down a card, then Kirstie, then Mitch.

By this point in the game, Kevin looks to have about fifty cards in his hands.

Scott: Hey, Kevin?...

He says quietly.

Kevin looks at him.

Kevin: Yeah?

Scott slow places his card down.

Scott: ..........draw four....

Kevin slams his hands down as his jaw drops open.

Kevin: You serious?!

They all laugh knowing he's not really mad.

Kevin: Man I swear Imma kick y'all's butts.

He mumbles as he draws more cards.

The game goes well until Scott glances over to the left near Avi. It looks like he's looking at Avi's cards, but he's not.

Avi: Hey hey hey, cheater!

Avi jokes.

Scott laughs.

Scott: I'm not! I just saw a bug!

Mitch: Not the only thing he cheats on...

He mumbles under his breath.

Kirstie: What?

She looks at him.

Kevin: Did you say he cheated on you?

Scott gets quickly irritated.

Scott: Would you stop with that?! I DIDN'T cheat on you! Okay?!

Mitch jumps a bit, frightened by Scott's rage.

Avi: Scott calm down..

Scott: No! He keeps saying I cheated on him when I didn't! I love him and he doesn't believe me!

His face turns red.

Mitch stares and watches him, terrified.

Scott: And if he doesn't believe, not only his fiancé, but also his best friend of over ten YEARS, then maybe there shouldn't be a Scömìche!

He yells then storms off, out of the hospital.

They all sit in silence and watch him leave.

Mitch gasps at his words, tears instantly forming in his eyes.

Kirstie, Avi and Kevin look at him.

Kirstie: Mitch?...

She asks, softly and quietly.

Mitch stands up and runs off as tears fall down his cheeks.

He leaves his phone behind.

Just then, the doctor comes to say they can return to Tori's room.

Kevin looks at Avi and Kirstie.

Kevin: I'll go..you guys go help Scott and Mitch.

Avi: You sure?

Kevin nods.

Kevin: I'll be fine. I'll keep you updated on Tori.

Kirstie: See you soon, Kev.

They hug him goodbye and run in separate directions to find Scott and Mitch.

*With Mitch and Kirstie*

Kirstie: Mitch? Mitch?

She yells as she runs around outside the hospital. It's now dark and storming.

She stops and turns around when she hears someone crying.

Kirstie: Mitch!

She yells, happy she found him.

He's hiding in an old alleyway in a door breezeway.

She stands in front of him.

Kirstie: Mitchy...what's wrong? What happened with Scott?

Mitch: He....

He cries so hard, he can barely talk.

Mitch: He...he cheated on me..

Her jaw drops.

Kirstie: Scott would never do that...

Mitch: Yeah that's what I thought too!

He continues to cry.

Kirstie: How do you know he did for sure?

Mitch: I got a message from a random n-number and they sent me a picture of S-Scott kissing A-Alex....

He cries harder.

Kirstie: That's what that picture was on your phone when you ran off?

He nods as he wipes his tears.

She stands in shock for a bit.

Kirstie: O-Oh my god, Mitchy...I'm so sorry! What's gonna happen? Are you guys gonna break up?

Mitch: I think we just did...
