Chapter 45
Mitch was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching Scott pace in front of him. Mitch gazed out the window for a second, realizing it was late in the afternoon. Long day.
Eventually Scott sighed and sat down, running his hands through his hair. Mitch turned towards him and put a hand on his back. "You okay, Alpha?" Scott sighed again instead of answering. Mitch ran his hand up and down Scott's muscular back, he leaned in and kissed Scott's shoulder. "Sir.. What's on your mind? Is everything okay?" "I just don't want Kirstin to leave.." He mumbled. Mitch tsked. "None of us do. We'll do everything we can." Scott stared at the ground, and Mitch continued to rub his back. Mitch wondered, suddenly, if Scott would be as broken up about this if Mitch had failed. What if it was Mitch rather than Kirstin? Maybe it would be better that way. Avi wouldn't be so upset, Kirstie wouldn't be crying all day, Scott wouldn't seem so distant.. But what would Scott think about it? Mitch stared at the side of Scott's head, wondering. Mitch stood up all of a sudden, thoughts consuming him. Scott continued sitting, but grabbed Mitch's hand. "Hey.. What?" Mitch pulled his hand away. "It should be me." "What should?" Mitch looked down at him. "I should be sent away. Maybe we can.. Trade? I don't know.." Scott stood. "What would make you say that? Do you want to leave?" Mitch shook his head and opened his mouth, but Scott beat him to it. "Did I do something?" Mitch shook his head again. "No, of course not. I just think.. Wouldn't it be easier if I left, instead of her?" "Not to me." Mitch sighed. "But everyone is so upset and-" "And it wouldn't be any different if it were you in her place. Is that really what you think? That we would miss you any less than we would miss her?" Scott demanded. Mitch shrugged. "I don't know.. You won't tell me how you feel. I just thought you would want-" "Stop." "But I-" "Just stop." Scott said, pulling Mitch into a hug. "You don't ever have to play games with me, Sweetheart." "You don't exactly speak your mind, Alpha." Scott pulled away and held Mitch by the shoulders. "Then just ask. You can ask me anything." ******
