"...what was that?"

They were all asleep on the tour bus and it was 4:12 am when Mitch woke up to the sounds of crying. It was brief as the noises halted a few seconds after he woke up but there was something he heard from that bunk that disturbed him.

raped...pregnant

He knew the deep voice from anywhere and knew it was Avi. Why did he say that though? What was he talking abou--

no.

oh no.

Oh No No No No NO.

The smaller boy was able to piece everything together now and when I (Author-chan) say everything. I mean everything!

3½ months. That was the amount of time that had passed since the night club.

He not only has been distant from them but stopped talking to Scott after the blow out that had happened a while back. After their small argument that he had with him a while back. Mitch decided to ask the blonde himself.

***

"Mitchie, I can't tell you anything."

"Please. I just wanna help them both. How can I help if I don't know anything about the situation?"

It was silent while Scott pondered over the decision he was about to make.

"All he said was he didn't cheat and he seemed like he was telling the truth too. It was like... he was trying so hard to be believed like there was no other option but to believe him. He was so desperate. He was bawling in the stall." 

Mitch let this sink in for a minute. He didn't cheat and he was desperate to get them all to believe that. Yet they weren't. It was either that they weren't as thin as he hoped or that they were too thick as they'd originally thought. Either way. Something was up.

***

He was pregnant... Gee... can't really explain that now can we. But there was something Mitch remembers from a while ago after going creeping through Avi's phone after their argument when he fell asleep.

***

Mitch wanted an explanation for the man's sudden outburst. He seemed to be in that bathroom for a while now and Mitch was waiting for him to come back out, it was sooner than he expected because the door opened 5 mins later and he pulled back the curtain of his bunk pretended to be asleep, Avi came back into the room, phone in hand and dropped onto his bunk with a loud and heavy sigh and pulled his curtain in front of his bunk, 15 minutes passed before Mitch began to doze off. Scott came in three hours later and Mitch awoke to the sounds of his footsteps approaching. He sat himself up a little bit and listened in on the two men

"hey, i was just checking on you." 

Scott had started to talk to the other man.

"i'm ok..." 
"ok, that's a lie."

How did he even know when Avi was lying but was oblivious to Mitch's feelings for him?

"please, avi. the sooner you tell someone the sooner this whole drama can end."

Mitch silently scoffed. I'd say.

"i don't know what to tell people! i don't even know what happened. i can't tell them a lie!"

Hmpf. Well... you just did.

"well you better figure it out then otherwise everyone is going to take kevin's side even if they don't have a whole story, and i don't think i can continue waiting around for you to keep this up so you need to figure this out and fast cause i don't stick around for sad stories!"

And there it is... the blow-up. Sounded more harsher than he expected but hey. That's kinda what a cheater deserved right?

"avi look, i didn't mean---"

Scott couldn't finish his sentence and next thing Mitch heard was a loud thump and peered through the small gap between his curtain and the bunk to see Scott on the floor and Avi's curtain fly back. Scott stood up and dusted himself off before turning to walk out of the room. It was silent for a while before he heard a quiet sob and someone mumble the words...

"why me?"

The quiet sobs went on for a while before they stopped and Mitch could tell that Avi had cried himself to sleep. Now, what was on that phone? Only one way to find out. The tenor crept out of his bunk and crawled over to the base's bunk and snatched up his phone before going back to his own bunk and checking his text messages. 

... Who's D?... 

... No one knows what?... 

... Happened what night? What's he planning to do to Avi if he told... 

... avi... no... avi would never... he wouldn't do that to himself... would he?... 

... what ability? What can Avi do that's so special that other men or majority of men can't do it?...

... 

... 

... 

Mitch took pictures of the chat with his phone before he locked the phone and placed it back where he had found it before going back into his bunk and laying there... speechless... Avi sold himself to others to help someone with their 'debt' but in reality... they were just using him and not only that. Threatened to use it against him if he dare told anyone about what they did 'that night' but he didn't know what 'that night' was. It was all too much for his poor brain to process but he knew that something was up with Avi. He put his head down and slept on it. Hoping it would all make sense in the morning. 

***

He had pieced it all together and came to a final conclusion. The final conclusion that scared him to death and made him feel guilty as hell for ever thinking Avi was a cheater and that Kevin's poor little heart was broken even though Avi is the one that's been broken. He knew what Scott meant by he didn't cheat and no one knows do they? not to mention his 'ability'... this scared him more than ever...

He was raped at the night club and as a result of that was carrying that man's baby...

To say he was concerned was an understatement. His best friend and someone who is basically his older brother was raped and impregnated by this man that goes by 'D' and they all thought that he had cheated and that Kevin was the one that was hurt. Avi was the one that was hurting and they all condemned him because of the false truth that they had all grown to believe but Esther, who was always believing that there was another explanation for his pregnancy, but none of them believed it. Until now.

Mitch knew the truth and it was under their noses all along. Avi was right and they were all so judgemental. He knew the truth and had to tell the others as soon as he could.

But he just can't say.
