"T-There's more?" Scott gasped.

"Yes, a lot more."

"Please, can you tell me the truth?"

"Scotty, I-"

The door stormed open.

"OMG! MITCHY! You're awake!!" Kirstie squealed and she ran to Mitch to give him a hug.

"H-Hi... Nice to see you too." Mitch giggled.

"And you talk too!" Kirstie sobbed.

Scott cleared his throat, Kirstie looked up with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Oh... Hi Scotty... Do I interrupt?"

Scott rolled with his eyes.

"No, not at all... We can talk about it later. Right, Mitchy?"

"Right, hon."

"How are you?" Kirstie asked, she calmed down a bit.

"Sore, but it's fine. I guess you've heard about it too."

"About Trevor? Yes, sorry to hear about that. I had to pick up Scotty. Before he got into trouble, you know. He's a noodle, sooo..."

"Hey, I'm here too!" Scott exclaimed.

"Yeah, well... If I didn't pick you up, you prolly would go back in and choke him to death."

"With all the security going on? Don't think so..."

"What? Choke him to death? Who?" Mitch asked.

Scott gave Kirstie a fierce look.

"Well, umm..." Scott whispered.

"Scott saw Trevor in the interrogationroom and grabbed him by his throat!" Kirstie almost yelled.

"Kirstie!!"

Scott was embarrassed.

Mitch looked at Scott, shock all over his face.

"You didn't..."

"I actually did and the security dragged me outside. I'm sorry, but what he did to you made me so furious. Beyond even."

"My hero..." Mitch smiled and he held Scott's hand.

They looked at each other for a little too long.

"Excuse me for interrupting you again, but I'm here too." Kirstie said.

"We know" Scott and Mitch said in unison.

"Oh God, it's happening again..." Kirstie rolled with her eyes.

"What's happening?" Scott and Mitch said in unison again.

"Just THAT." Kirstie laughed.

Mitch shrugged, but he moaned a bit. Remembering his body was still sore.

"Are you okay?!" Scott said with a concerned face.

"Yeah, just forgot the soreness of my body. I can't move very well."

Scott stood up and walked to the other side of the bed.

"Let me reposition you, would you allow me to?"

Mitch nodded, Kirstie made some space for Scott.

"Ready? 1, 2, 3." Scott moved Mitch a bit, but stopped when he heard Mitch squirm a little.

"Sorry, didn't mean to hurt you."

"It's okay."

"Kirstie, could you help me?" Scott asked.

"He's as light as a feather. You can do this."

"I need your help to keep him more balanced, so it will hurt less."

"Oh, thoughtful."

Scott and Kirstie repositioned Mitch.

"Thanks. This is better." Mitch said relieved.

"No problem. Oh, shoot. I need to leave, next meeting. Sorry." Kirstie said and she hugged Scott and Mitch.

"Bye, bunny." Scott waved at Kirstie.

Kirstie left the room.

"So, you were going to tell me the truth..."

"Yes. Remember when I broke up with you?"

"How could I forget that?" Scott scoffed.

"S-Sorry. I really didn't want to break up with you, but Trevor said he would hurt you and I couldn't let that happen to you. Look, Trevor wanted me to be his baby boy... It's sick. Breaking up with you was one of the hardest decisions I had to make in my whole life. Damnit! He knew I loved you with my whole soul. I still do and-"

"Wait... What? You love me back?" Scott whispered.
