When Mitch walks over to me and my parents I almost choke. He looks DIFFERENT! Like he was cute before but he is literally so hot now. From the look on his face he also notices my new look as well, training has really helped turn me from a noodle man into a manly-man.( a/n- I don't even know)

"Looking good, hows LA life?"

He looks at me with an eyebrow cocked "Thanks, you too, and its great. I've never been happier."

I nod "Well i'm glad."

He scoffs at me and turns back to my parents saying "Thank you for letting them hold this party in your house."

They smile at him and tell him that they moved out, and that the house in now mine. He glances at me before telling me "Thanks."

He hugs my parents before walking away quickly. I sigh and notice my parents staring at me, I groan "What!"

My dad asks "What did you do to him? He doesn't seem very happy about seeing you."

My mom nods and adds, "I thought you two were close."

I scoff "No, we're not friends anymore."

Kirste then comes up behind me, "But you two will be."

I look at her confusedly "We will?"

She smiles at my parents before saying, "Yup, your going to go talk to him right now!"

She then pulls me in the direction of the kitchen. Nichole stops us "Hi Scott!"

We hug "Have you see Mitchy?"

I groan "Yes, he stormed away and now I am being dragged to him again."

"You better apologize."

I look at her confused as to what she is talking about, Kirste is the only one that knows about what happened between us, right? "I don't know what you want me to fix. We are just two friends who grew apart."

She glares at me and Kirste says "She knows about everything you dip, she has been living with him!"

I realized that I just had a big blond moment, of course Mitch would tell her. I sigh "We agreed not to tell anyone!"

She glares at me again, "No you told him to keep quiet, after you dumped him. You need to go in their and talk to him. Fix whatever you did so he can move on."

I raise my [non existent] eyebrows in confusion, "Move on? He isn't with someone?"

Both of them roll their eyes this time, I raise my hands in frustration "Okay, I haven't talked to him since he left how the hell would I know anything about him now? I just assumed he had a boyfriend, I mean look at him! He's like walking sex now!"

I realized I said that louder then I intended to and I catch a few knowing glances from the others in the room. I then sigh giving up and say "Where is he? I will go talk to him," Nichole points to the Kitchen, "Okay."

They both go to follow but I stop them, "I wanna talk to him alone."

Kirste agrees and walks away but Nichole holds onto my arm. "You really hurt him, please keep in mind the past and how horribly he was treated here. Then think about how he must be feeling now being back here. I don't know exactly what you two had or did during your relationship but please fix it. He has been lonely for years, god I wouldn't be surprised if he is still a virgin."

My eyes go wide, Mitch hasn't moved on. "I'll keep that in mind."

I then walk away, making my way through the kitchen I don't see him. I look around for a minute before something clicks in my mind. I open my back door and walk out onto my newly painted deck and follow a path around my garage to some of my bushes, I push some aside and walk over to the little tree house that I had built with my father when I was younger.

I move the ladder and climb up, and just as I thought, Mitch is sitting at the top with his legs over the side of the little patio area. I take a seat next to him and he looks over at me with tears in his eyes, "How did you find me?"

I lean back against the wooden wall, "When we were little I remember you would come up here when you had a bad day at school, I couldn't find you in the house so I just took a shot in the dark."

He nods and leans back next to me so that our shoulders are touching. He lays his head on my shoulder and closes his eyes as a few tears escape. "Why did you come here if you knew I was here. I thought you hated me."

I look down at him sadly, "I never hated you, that is the farthest from what I feel towards you." He opens his eyes and I feel my heart shatter.
