Divergent

I love you too, Prince Erik.

~~~

Scott waved shyly, thanking Jessi when they opened the door. He looked at his Pack, nodding slowly.

"How are you gu-"

He was interrupted when someone slapped him, noticing that if was Tori who did it. Tears rolled down her cheeks, her head shaking slowly as he glared at him.

"How dare you leave him?! He didn't do anything wrong! Alex is dead, Scott!"

"I know," the Lead Alpha replied, looking at his feet. He shook his head, setting the bag full of weapons down. "I regret it. May I please see him?"

Candice was about to answer when Avi interrupted her, shutting her up at the moment.

"I'm not telling you that. You are his husband so you figure that out. I'm not helping you."

"Okay. I deserve that."

"You deserve more than that," Kevin scoffed, shaking his head. "You deserve to be sent to The Council so you will be punished for abandoning your family. You should be ashamed of yourself."

Genevieve frowned, wondering why everyone was being rude to Scott. Candice sighed, shaking her head when she knew that she wouldn't be allowed to mention One Woods. Alyssa glared at Scott, shaking her head as she walked up to him.

"You deserve this."

She slapped him twice as hard than Tori did, bringing tears to his eyes. Ben shook his head, walking up to Scott slowly. He then did the unexpected.

He hugged him.

"Guys, Mitch wouldn't want us to do this," Ben pointed out, continuing to hug Scott. Scott looked away from everyone, trying not to cry. "He would want us to forgive Scott, no matter what. We should continue to love Scott despite what he did to Mitch. That is what Mitch wants and that is what he'll get."

"I agree," Jessi spoke up immediately, hugging Scott as tightly as they could. "I missed you, Scott."

"I missed you too, Jess," Scott replied, adoring the fact of how much Mitch has impacted Jessi and Ben. He was definitely their role model. "Please tell me where he is."

"It's hard to describe. You gave to find him yourself."

"Okay. May I have Melody please?"

Avi nodded as he picked Melody up from her playpen, handing her over to Scott. He smiled weakly, kissing her nose with all the love in the world.

"Happy first birthday, Mel. I love you."

Melody smiled, waving goodbye to everyone as Scott took her outside. After situating themselves, the Lead Alpha began to drive in a random direction in hopes to find Mitch.

I hope I could find you, baby.

Scott looked at the beer bottles, noticing how he would have to tell Mitch of his drinking problem. He shivered at the thought, not wanting Mitch to leave him because of it.

Mitch, please don't leave me once I tell you I'm drinking again.

He smiled weakly when he caught a glance of their wedding photo, touching it carefully. Scott dipped Mitch, the layers of the dress decorating the floor beautifully. Much had his eyes closed, the intensity of Scott's love making him want to cry and smile at the same time. Scott was smiling too, tear tracks evident on his cheeks. He don't care though because all he cared about was the love they had for each other.

Mitch, I will renew my vows for you to reassure you that I will never leave you again. You will always come first.

"Mama!"

"Mel, shush," Scott whispered, stopping when the light turned red. He looked back to make sure Melody was okay, noticing a building near them. "Daddy is concentrating."

"Mama!"

Melody pointed at the building that caught Scott's eye. At first he was confused but put two and two together. He widened his eyes as he made a turn, looking back at his child.

"Thank you so much, Mel."

"Mama!"

I can't wait to see you, babe.

~~~

"Visitor hours start today. Mitchell Grassi-Hoying, you're up!"

Mitch looked from his lap, widening his eyes. He stood up, not liking how everyone was looking at him weird. Ariana smiled at him, holding out her hand so Mitch could hold it.

"If you feel weird, you could hold my hand. The patient who has the first visitor is always looked at weirdly. You'll get used it."

"Ok-okay."

Ariana smiled as she led him down endless halls, making him wander off someplace different. He was in another place right now.

Why am I first? I'm never first.

Ariana led him to a room full of tables and chairs. The room looked joyful and exuberant, quite the contrast against Mitch's mood. Ariana sat him down, smiling as she rubbed his back.

"I'll get your visitor. It'll take about five minutes so make yourself comfortable."

Mitch nodded as he looked around the room, wanting to leave it. He wanted to be home with the people he loved and celebrate his daughter's first birthday. His heart broke when he reloaded that he couldn't even be there to celebrate it, breaking his heart even more.

Why did I do that to myself?!

He looked at the wraps, happy that Dan helped him. Nobody has been this kind to him in the last week and he couldn't be anymore grateful. It showed that someone cares for him.

Mitchell, your Pack cares for you. That's why they sent you to rehab.

"I know."

They really do. It might not seem like that, but they really do.

Mitch nodded, trying to make himself comfortable. The wait was taking forever now, naming him impatient now.

Mitch, they'll come in no time. Calm down.

"I know, bu-"

"I'm back! Mitch, your visitor is here! Are you ready to see him?"

Mitch nodded, wondering if it was Avi or Kevin. When the person came around the corner, he gasped and widened his eyes.

This is a lie! He's a figment of my imagination!

Scott walked up to Mitch, Melody in his arms. Mitch looked at him, shaking slightly as he backed up a bit.

"Mitchy?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

And that is were Mitch broke down once more.

A/N: Ooohhh, the reunion is getting serious.xD Yes, I included Dan and Phil because I know couple of you wanted them in here. I couldn't say no.xD Anyways, I hope that you all enjoyed the chapter and remember that I love you all.:)
