I climb down the ladder. I can hear Mitch following, chasing me back into the house. I push my way through people, before Mitch catches my arm.

"Answer my fucking question Scott!" Everyone has turned our way now and is listening to our conversation.

He punches my chest, "Did you mean it! Did you love me!"

He goes to turn away when I grab his arm, "Mitch I'm sorry okay!"

He glares at me and I feel horrible. I am the reason he's crying right now. "Bullshit! If you were sorry you would answer my fucking question!"

I run my hand through my hair and yell "Yes I meant it! I fucked up and i'm admitting it and i'm sorry!"

He pulls his arm out of my hand, "Then why, why did you break up with me the way you did? Were you really that embarrassed of me? Did you ever for a second think about how hard it was for me, every day getting treated like your nothing, getting told that no one will ever love you? Do you know how badly I wanted to scream that someone does love me but I couldn't because I promised you that I would keep our relationship a secret!"

"I was scared Mitch! I didn't want to deal with the same shit you had to! I regret it and I'm so sorry that you went through that."

He smacks me across the face, "I was scared to! Death threats daily, people telling me to go kill myself! I should have just listened to them because they were right, No one will ever love me!"

With that he grabs Nichole and says "We're leaving, Now!"

With that he pulls Nichole out the front door. Everyone is looking at me shocked, "I didn't know about the threats.... FUCK!"

I punch the nearest wall but Kevin and my father stop me from doing anything else, "Bro chill, go for a walk and come back we'll figure everything out."

I grab my keys off the hook and run out to the garage. I jump in my car and start driving around the neighborhood. When I get back everyone is talking quietly amongst themselves, "I'm sorry, we should have talked about that in private, that was my fault."

Avi steps forward, "It's okay, Kirste drove Nichole and Mitch to their hotel. They are trying to convince him to stay for a couple more days."

I nod and my mom then says "We have all of his gifts and the cake still so why don't we make some reservations at the BBQ shack and have the girls bring Mitch."

Todrick nods "Good idea, I'll call Nichole and get her to make Mitch come."

He then walks out of the room and Kevin tells me "Scott your coming but your going to sit on the opposite end of the table."

I groan, "You really think that's a good idea? I'm telling your right now that's not going to work, he won't come if I'm their."

Avi chimes in "Okay then you don't come, but you need to talk to Mitch before he leaves. I'll get you his number and your going to arrange to meet up with him and fix whatever the hell is going on between you two."
