Sorry this is posted later than I normally do, theres a lot going on in my life. I'm getting ready for a funeral this weekend and stuff and I'm stressed. So after next week you can expect things to hopefully be getting back to normal wednesday/saturday book posts, wednesday youtube videos. I tried so hard to film one this week but things are really crappy right now... Sooo, yeah. I love you all a lot and I hope you enjoy this chapter, there are only 4 chapters and then the epilouge left and I'm kinda tempted to write those all this week and go ahead and finish this up but idk, we shall see.

Scott was so happy to see his parents but keeping this secret from them until tonight was starting to get ridiculously hard. They could both tell that something was going on with him and they had spent most of the car ride trying to get him to tell them what it was. “So, is there a new boy in your life?” His mom raised an eyebrow and began to wiggle them, causing him to laugh loudly.
“Uh, you could say that.” He really wanted to tell them but he also wanted Mitch to be beside him when he did it. He knew how important today was to his boyfriend and he really wanted it to be just as perfect as Mitch had planned. At the thought of Mitch he felt himself get all dreamy. He really was lucky to be dating such an amazing guy.
As they pulled onto Mitch’s street an ambulance sped past them and Scott felt his heart speed up, it couldn’t be. It wasn’t going to Mitch’s house. There was nothing wrong with his Mitchie, but he watched the vehicle pull into Mitch’s driveway and the person they put on the stretcher couldn’t have been anyone else. His Mitchie was being loaded into an ambulance and all he could do was cry and jump out of the car.
“What happened? What’s wrong with him?” Mitch’s father looked guilty and his mother was in tears as she climbed into the ambulance beside him and rode off. Scott could only hope and pray that what he was thinking wasn’t true but deep down inside of him he knew. “He told you didn’t he? He told you and you didn’t approve or something and now he’s going to the hospital and Im not with him to make him feel better. I’m supposed to always be there and I’m not.” Scott was so upset, he didn’t know what to do with himself. A part of him wanted to punch Mitch’s dad but that wouldn’t solve anything and he probably wouldn’t be allowed in the hospital. Mitch’s dad cleared his throat and Scott took a deep breath.
“I never said I didn’t approve, he didn’t give me the time to finish my sentence before he started to think the worst. I wasn’t skeptical about his sexuality, he’s my son, I was worried about this relationship… but seeing the fear in your eyes because you’re so worried about him. I know you love him and I’m glad he has you. He’ll be fine though Scott, it’s a panic attack but we couldn’t talk him down from it.” Mitch’s dad explained and the tight feeling that wrapped its way around his lungs slowly let go but he couldn’t completely relax. His Mitch was still on the way to the hospital. “Go to the hospital, check on him, his mother asked me to stay here until she could explain so that he didn’t get overwhelmed again but I know he’s going to want you there.”
“Mom, dad. I have to go check on him. If you hadn’t picked up on it im dating Mitch. Do you guys want to ride with me or wait here Mr. Grassi?” His parents grinned at him and he took a second to smile back, the only people who wanted him to be with Mitch mre than he had were his parents.
“Go, I don’t want to be in that car with the way you’re probably about to drive. Just be careful son, and tell Mitch that we can’t wait to talk to him.” Scott just smiled at his dad again before turning and climbing back into his car. As he drove to the hospital all he could think about was what if they were wrong? What if it wasn’t just a panic attack? By the time he finally pulled into the hospital parking lot and found a spot he had thoroughly stressed himself out.
