Because You're Mine (COMPLETED)

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Mitch

I wake up alone. Scott isn't in bed. He usually wakes up before me so I've gotten used to waking up alone.

I get up and to to the bathroom. My body, though rested, is exhausted and sore from last night. Scott did things to me that no one has.

I'm not a virgin. I'll be honest. I went through a time where I did everything I could to piss off my parents. That included sleeping with a lot of people. But we're not gonna talk about that.

I walk over to the full body mirror that scott has and look at myself.

Wow. He really did a number. I have hickeys all the way down my torso. There's two on my neck. Well then.

I grab one of Scott's hoodies and throw it on. I walk but it hurts. I laugh. Its been a while since I've had that feeling.

When I get downstairs I don't see anyone. What? They weren't in their room

"Hello?" I said. For a second, I felt like I was in a horror movie and some idiot called out thinking that the killer was gonna respond.

I don't think that's the case here. I'm just being paranoid.
I look all over, but I don't find anyone. Now I'm starting to get scared.

Did they leave me? Why?

No. No. I refuse to believe it. Scott wouldn't leave me. Not after last night. He wouldn't.

I feel myself getting worked up, but I manage to calm myself down.

Think Mitch. Where would they be?

I go into the kitchen and I see something on the floor. I bend down and pick it up.

Is this...confetti?

I look around and I see decorations. Streamers, balloons, confetti. Did they have a party?

I turn around and damn near die.

"Surprise!!!" The collective yell, combined with the fact that I didn't know they were there makes me fall to the ground.

I feel someone pick me up bridal style. Scott. Only he does that. He kisses my head. But he's laughing.

I smack his shoulder, fairly hard. "Don't laugh! You scared me half to death! I literally almost just died! Asshole." I sniffle. I am very sensitive, and being scared causes me to cry.

"Oh Mitchy I'm sorry. But to be fair, scaring you was the idea."

"WHY?!" My voice goes up in pitch. "I didn't even do anything!"

"No you didn't, but you did forget something. We all did."

"What?"

"Mitchy...you're 19." Scott smiles.

"Yeah and?" I say, not quite getting it.

"Your birthday! Mitchy, we all forgot your birthday, including yourself."

I feel my eyes widen. How did I forget my own birthday?

"You guys remembered it though if you think about it."

"Yep!" Kirstie come up. Scott sets me down and covers my eyes. "Scott and Avi planned this whole thing. We're going out tonight. I don't know where though, they wouldn't tell me
But anyway. Mitchy."

"Yes?" I was getting nervous now. I didn't like not being able to see.

"What is something you've always wanted?"

"Ummm. I don't know. A professional make-up set?"

She laughs. "Other than that? Think...animals."
