I Will Help You

Visiting Hours

*The next day*

*Mitch's POV*

It didn't feel right being alone last night. Not only because it wasn't my house..I didn't even know the people who lived there..but because Scott was gone.

I know he always says we aren't friends, and that he hates me and everything, but I feel like there's something more. I'm not too sure what yet, but there's definitely something there. Even if it's deep deep down.

*At the jail*

My heart practically dropped when I saw Scott in his orange prisoner uniform on the other side of the glass.

He picked up the phone as I did the same.

*End of POV*

Mitch was quick to explain how bad he felt.

Mitch: Scott, I-

Scott: Don't be sorry, Mitch.

Scott cut him off.

Mitch: But it's my-

Scott: It's not your fault.

He cut again.

Mitch sighed.

Scott: It's my own damn fault I'm in here...and it was almost my fault you would be stuck here too.

Mitch: Why did the cops even come?

Scott: The place was private property even though it was abandoned..

Mitch was about to freak out but Scott interrupted.

Scott: I didn't know it was private property!

He added quickly.

Scott: If I knew that, I never would've went..or at least have brought you.

Mitch: How are you feeling?

Scott shrugged.

Scott: Fine I guess. I have the option of getting bailed out, but I don't have a mommy or daddy to take from.

Mitch looks down.

Scott: Hey...

He said in a soft, comforting voice.

Mitch looked up to lock eyes.

Mitch: I'm gonna get you out of here, Scott. I promise.

Scott shakes his head.

Scott: No, Mitch. I can't let you do that. You worked hard for that money. I'm not letting you waste it on me.

Mitch: You're not a waste.

Scott: We're not even friends...

Mitch's heart cracks with a second of silence.

Mitch: To me we are.

Before Scott can respond, Mitch hangs up and walks away.

Scott's heart races a bit as he watches him leave.

Scott: Friends...

He says, sounding a bit breathless.

Scott: I've never had a friend...

Mitch walks home and gathers all of the remaining money they raised from busking and began to walk back to the jail to bail out Scott.

As he walks, he isn't aware of the creepy guy behind him.

*In a secret place*

Mitch wakes up with pain in the back of him head and his arms tied behind a chair with his legs tied to the legs. He can feel the blood on his head.
