A/N: I skip a lot of days in my chapters if you haven't noticed because it's extremely hard for me to keep up with the time in my books.
It's still getting harder for me to remember things and I'm sorry if the plot gets jumbled. If it does please point it out so I can correct it.
I will be starting the next chapter right after this one.
Sorry for this chapter.
*Mitch's POV*
"Hey Mitch! Have a good nap?" Kirstie asks.
I nod.
"Good! Want to help arrange this song?"
I scoot over beside Kirstie and look at the paper.
I love this song.
"Me too. Okay so we have stuff until measure..."
What just happened?
Okay, so I surprised Scott with my speech and then...
"Mitch? Do you like this here?"
I look at the paper and point to somewhere else.
"There? We should move it there?"
"Yes." I say.
She looks at me. "Your talking is good."
"Thank you."
She goes to write something and then sets down her music.
"Can you form sentences?"
"A little. S-some words are h-ha-harder than others."
"That's okay. You'll get it soon. I'm glad you can speak. We miss your voice."
"I do too." I laugh.
She hugs me tightly. "I'm so proud of you, Mitch. You're doing so well."
I smile.
"Okay, sorry for the Hallmark moment. Should we run through it?"
I nod.
"Do you guys want to run through Can't Sleep Love?" Avi asks everyone.
Everyone mumbles their response and gets out their music.
Kevin counts us off.
I start singing and a small smile tugs at my lips.
It feels so good.
Just the way that it feels when I sing.
It's amazing.
I look around and see that everyone has smiles on their faces.
I smile and keep singing.
"Yeah." I finish off sassily.
"Yessss Mitch." Kirstie says and hugs me.
"Th-th-that f-felt am... Amazing." I say.
"You sound amazing." Scott says.
Tone it down, boy.
We've gotta be extra careful around each other until Christmas.
"Thanks."
So, long story short, we have a pretty good rehearsal, during which we finish three songs, and then we wrap up by practicing our brand new cover.
"Oh, ah, oh. Oh, ah, oh."
That part is fun.
"Alright, guys. You know what tomorrow is. Get some rest." Esther says.
"What is tomorrow?" Kirstie asks.
"The morning show, remember? And then we've gotta start packing for London." Avi says.
"Oh, right. I'm tired." She says and looks down.
Avi kisses her forehead. "We'll be at the hotel soon."
We pile into the van and have minimal conversation due to our exhaustion.
I resist the urge to hold Scott's hand and subtly blow him a kiss before we go into our separate rooms.
I crawl into my bed and cut off my light.
I've been so exhausted.
I want to be able to be public with Scott again.
I want our relationship to be right.
I pull my covers over my head and scroll through tumblr.
Before I know it, an hour had passed and I could barely keep my eyes open.
I put my phone on the charger and close my eyes.
I smile and think about what happened today and how much I've missed those sweet lips of his.
Just one more day. You can do it.
I close my eyes and fall into a deep, much needed sleep.
*Scott's POV*
BEEP
BEEP
BEEP
"UghhhHhGHHHHH" I groan and shut my phone up.
Shut my phone up....
Shut... my phone...
Okay, enough of that. Today is the day that I can be with Mitch again.
I mean, not that I'm like bursting with excitement, pssshhh, never.
Okay I am reALLY EXCITED.
I stand up out of bed and stretch, going into the bathroom to get ready.
I quietly brush my teeth and wash my face, as Avi is still sleeping.
I put on a little foundation and do my hair all wavy.
After I do my face and hair, I put on my clothes and wake up Avi.
"It's 6. You have an hour to do stuff." I say as I shake him awake.
"Huh? Oh, thanks." He says and stretches.
His voice is very deep in the morning.
I head down to breakfast and make myself a waffle, my crutches getting caught in the elevator door on the way down.
Just a little while longer until I'm definitely strong enough.
"Hey, Scott." Kirstie says and puts her head on my shoulder.
"Hey, Kit."
"I'm sleepy." She says while getting some cereal.
"Me too."
"I'm gonna go sit down." She says and walks away slowly.
I watch her out of the corner of my eye as she walks to a table.
I'm worried about her.
Mitch walks up beside me.
Hey. He subtly signs to me.
Hey Mitch.
I miss you.
I miss you too.
One more day.
I know.
I love you.
I love you, too.
We walk back to the table and sit at opposite ends.
I want our relationship to be right.
