I Will Help You

Mitch?

*The next day*

The next day, Scott is able to go home and fix what he did to Mitch.

On the walk home, Scott thinks of what he's planning on telling Mitch. By the time he gets home, he's set in stone for his speech.

Scott: Mitch, there's something I need to tell you..

He as he walks through the door, but stops when he sees Mitch sitting on the couch with Kevin, Avi and Kirstie from the street busking.

Scott: W-what's going on?...

He asks a bit confused.

Mitch: Scott, these are my friends, Kevin, Avi and Kirstie. They sang with us in the street..

Scott: Yeah, I know who they are..what are they doing here?..

He snaps as he shuts the door.

Mitch: Since I'm not wanted here...Kevin has agreed to let me live with him until I can find my own place..

Scott's eyes widened as his heart stung.

Scott: Why does that include those two?

He snaps as he gestures to Avi and Kirstie.

Mitch: We were also talking about forming an A Capella group..

Scott: Why?

Mitch: We love singing and we love singing together!

Scott: That's stupid.

He says as he shakes his head.

Kevin: I think it's time we get going. It was nice talking with you, Mitch..Scott..

Kevin says as he and the other two leave the apartment.

Mitch: Way to go, Scott! You made them leave!

Mitch yells as he stands up and walks towards Scott.

Scott: I didn't make them do shit!

He yells back as he leans against the kitchen counter.

Mitch: Why are you SO against letting me or anyone for that matter, have friends?!

Mitch snaps as he stands very to Scott as his grip tightens on the counter before stands up straight to be even closer in Mitch's face.

Scott: Why do YOU have to move out and live with Kevin?! You barely know him!!

He yells louder.

They stare at each other intensely and in dead silence before Scott storms off to his piano room.

Mitch follows him.

Mitch: I barely knew YOU when I moved in! Besides, who cares where I go?! Definitely not YOU!

He sasses while standing in the doorway as Scott sits at the piano, then turns to face Mitch.

Scott: Well have you ever thought that maybe I DO?!

Mitch: What the hell are you talking about?!

Scott: Have you ONCE ever even thought that maybe, JUST MAYBE, people can change?! Huh?!

He yells louder.

Mitch: What the fuck is THAT supposed to mean?!

Scott: Maybe I was wrong! Maybe I was afraid to believe you were right! Did you ever think about that?!

Mitch: Scott! What are you talking about?! You're not making any sense!

He yells back.

Scott: I NEED you, Mitch! Okay?! Are you happy now?! I said it! I. NEED. YOU!

He practically yells at the top of his lungs before laying on the piano bench.

Mitch's face expression softens as he realizes what Scott just said.

It's quiet for a few minutes.

Mitch: I'm sorry, Scott..

Mitch says before leaving to Kevin's house.

Scott sighs as he hears the door click shut.
