Love me 'till I'm me again - (Scott and Mitch Fanfiction)

Chapter 4 - You don't even love her

Thank you everyone who commented and rated the last chapter,I was actually nervous no one followed this story anymore and it was dead,I guess I was wrong;I hate when stories make it all dandy and perfect right away,I like a good slow burn,so expect that.Also don't understimate Jo ;) For now I like writing from Mitch's pov but I can change to Scott more often if you'd like.

You know,comments mean the world to me.Opinions,suggestions,what you liked/hated?

Thanks for reading,please rate and commeeeent.Ly,enjoy.

'Oh,Scott' Mitch exhaled,as he felt his heart broke into  two equal pieces.That voice.The voice of his bestfriend,defeated in front of his already planned life.So rugged and so violently quiet,like the last thunder of a storm.Mitch gently laid his hands on the blonde's chest and when he looked up he found a pair of cloudy eyes staring back at him,glazed with tears.Scott's warmth started seeping through his bones,and he felt him relax a little under his touch.

Mitch was trying his best to push down that side of him that wanted to do a little dance of victory,because despite proving himself right,his bestfriend was hurting.He wasn't denying the fact that a huge weight lifted off his burning chest and he felt the urge to present his grand speech right then and there.

'So why are you with her?Why do you put yourself through this?' Mitch cautiously asked.Suddenly they were very aware of the intimacy of the situation,and how incredibly close they were standing,and how Mitch's hands were still on the blonde's chest,so he drew back,embarrassed.

Scott coughed and walked over to the couch,and Mitch could've sworn he saw him blush a little.Resting his head in the palm of his hands,he sighed deeply.'Habit,I guess.And duty.Doing what's expected of me.Not disappointing.' Scott listed.

'For your father?' Mitch exclaimed in surprise that soon enough grew into anger.'You're doing all this for your father?' he asked,pointing at the luxury apartment and the pictures of Jo that were everywhere.Scott looked down and shrugged his shoulders.'You're making yourself working like a slave and date that bossy,pretentious,stuck up bi-'

'Mitch!' Scott got up and yelled back at him.His eyes were big with surprise and hurt but Mitch ignored it,too mad to shut himself up.'You've left me and your dream just to please your father by training to run his corrupted,big-shot company?Do the model girlfriend and the expensive cars come with this deal?Can't you see this isn't right for you?'

'Who are you to tell me what's right for me and what's not?' Scott confronted him.Being put in front of the truth so bluntly was too much for him.Having his walls teared up scared him to death.He didn't want to deal with it,he didn't want to be aware of his own life.So he yelled back at his bestfriend and he saw the colour in his cheeks fade away,his face livid and pale.

'Someone who actually cares about you.Someone who actually pays attention.You might've fooled your family and your ignorant 'girlfriend',but not me.No matter how much you like lying to yourself,I won't .The biggest lie of all is you living here ..with her.'

Mitch added the last words in a whisper,his eyes already swimming in tears,but not crying,because he knew he'd never stop if he started.He'd fought so passionately for the well being of Scott,who stood there and had just let his life be run for him.And so he was furious.And somehow he blamed her,too.

'You don't know anything about my life.' Scott replied in a cold tone.'Or me.'

'You don't even love her..'

Mitch just stood there for a few moments,his lips parted,as if he wanted to say more,but couldn't.He felt his chest collapse upon itself in pain,the kind of feeling you get when you're kicked in the stomach and you lay down,breathless.'Ok.Ok then.You stay here with your girlfriend and keep lying to yourself,and I won't bother you anymore.'
