Chapter 169
Avi took Mitch and his blanket into the kitchen to lecture him on why he'd been punished. Scott sat on the ground in front of the couch while Kevin massaged his shoulders. "You're way too stressed out, Alpha. You shouldn't be this tense." "Sorry." Scott replied with a shrug while he ate his lunch. Kevin shook his head slowly and continued to work out the knots in his upper back. "You work yourself too hard." Mitch came back into the room and sat down beside Scott, burying his face into Scott's shoulder. Which wouldn't have meant anything, until Scott felt the tears falling on his arm. "Avi, you made him cry?!"
Avi didn't say a word as he stood behind everyone, who chose to keep quiet as well. Scott let out a loud sigh. "God damn it." Kevin gasped. "Don't curse--" "Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and yell at me. But God damn it. I wish we could all just be happy again. I wish things could go back to how they were. It was better when Avi and I were the only ones not getting along. But now it's everybody. Avi yelled at Kevin, Todrick yelled at Alex, Kirstie yelled at Mitch, I yelled at Avi... I hate it. More than anything else." No one said a word. Scott shook his head and continued. "I just... When did everything change? When did we all start yelling at each other? When did it get so bad that Avi had to bring back punishments? When did I start drinking? When did Avi start getting nightmares? When did Mitch start bossing me around? When did Kevin start being the Leader? When did Alex start crying himself to sleep?" Scott stood up all of a sudden, and walked towards the front door, trying to run away from his problems again.
