EMOTIONS

Chapter 2 •• Mitch's house.

Once we got to Mitch's house I asked him what in the world we were going to do here. He said he didn't know... wow, helpful! We got in and there were 2 girls. One was evidently younger than Mitch, the other looked like she could be about his age, maybe a little older. And then there was a really tall guy with a lot of tattoos like Mitch. I didn't know any of them! Mitch walked to his room I guess. I'm not sure but he left me with all these people I didn't know... The girl that looked about his age walked up to me and said her name was Victoria and that she was Mitch's older sister. I had no idea he had siblings. She pointed to the little girl who must have been about 11 or 12 and said her name was Sele or Selena. She was Mitch's younger sister but who was the guy with all the tattoo's and where did Mitch go? Victoria then pointed at the guy telling me that he was her boyfriend and Mitch's closest friend. His name was Austin. Victoria was pretty friendly. She brought me into the kitchen and apologized about Mitch just walking off. I asked her why he did that and she just told me I'd most likely find out if him and me continued being friends. I asked her if he was okay. She never answered. It was strange being in a boys house I barely knew with his sister's and best friend... Victoria asked me if I wanted a ride home and I said no. I wanted to see if Mitch was okay. I told her to take me to Mitch. She did so without questioning and gave me a friendly hug once we got to him. He was sitting in the back yard on a bench. I went over to him and asked if he was okay, getting no answer in return. His little sister Selena came out. She looked so innocent and sweet while Mitch and Victoria looked more like they'd been through a lot they didn't want to talk about. I asked Mitch what was wrong since something was obviously bothering him. He snapped, told me to leave and asked why I cared. I left... I had no place there. I thought to myself "well, this didn't go how I expexted!" Victoria drove me home and talked for a while telling me that Mitch has anger issues and anxiety. Bad anxiety! I had no idea. I got Into my house and called up Mitch. No answer so I texted him...

Kendra to Mitch:

                       "I'll leave you alone. I'm sorry."

For some reason, I cried myself to sleep that night. In the morning when I woke up, I had a text from Bethany asking if I wanted to go to the movies with her and Andrew. I wasn't really up for it so I told her no. I laid in bed for hours until I finally reached onto my nightstand and grabbed my journal. I wrote inside...

"It was an interesting week. I met this guy. He's quiet. His name is Mitch. I don't know if we're friends or what it is we have but there's something about him that's special and gives me the energy to feel alive again. We were supposed to hang out yesterday. He brought me to his house which was actually very strange. I met his two sisters Victoria and Selena. Also his best friend Austin who is dating Victoria. Mitch left. He didn't stay with me. Something was wrong. I could sense it and I knew it but he wouldn't talk to me.... I left.... great weekend so far... NOT!"

After that, I went to sleep for the rest of the day leaving me awake all night. I got my phone and saw I had a message from Mitch. I thought that was weird. He asked if I wanted to hang out tomorrow at like 2. I said sure. I tried to get some rest so I wouldn't look like crap when I saw him. There was something about him. Something special but I couldn't wrap my head around it. He came and picked me up. We went to the park this time where I found Austin and Victoria sitting under a tree. We went to them and Mitch mostly talked to Austin. Victoria and I talked. We had a lot in common. We exchanged numbers and while I was putting her number in my phone, I saw I had a message from Bethany.

Bethany to Kendra:

                            "The new kid, huh?"

I didn't reply since I was with him and his sister and his sisters boyfriend. I sat there awkwardly for long enough until I just got my iPod and my headphones out. I started walking and blasted my music. Victoria followed me. She pulled one of my headphones out and said "what's your problem?" I told her nothing. She looked at me and said "it's Mitch isn't it?" I continued walking and asked her if she could take me home. That I wasn't feeling good. I wanted to go home and cry. My depression was hitting me hard this weekend. But, I would stay clean. She took me home and told me that Mitch didn't know what he wanted. He was confused and lost. For me to try and understand and then she left and told me to text her.
