Boy Next Door (Scömíche)

"What...are we?"

Here we are, sitting on his couch

I can't shake the feeling of his lips on mine.

I turn to him , almost afraid to ask. "What.. Are we?"

I mean I know it was just a kiss, but there was more of there than just a kiss.

"Well," he begins,"Ever since that day at Food Lion, you haven't left my mind. Never." A huge smile comes onto his face,"And I had the opportunity to meet you again. I mean, Jesus Mitch , it was fate.."
I laugh.
"It must be.."
"But what we are.." His voice trails off as if he's preparing himself to disappoint.
A shiver runs down my back.
"Mitch, you're mine."
I melt into his arms.
He leans down and kisses me long until there's a knock at the door.
He upsetting pulls away to attend the waiting person at the door.
That person at the door is Kirstie. Well.... Tipsy Kirstie.
She stumbled into the apartment, Jeremy holding her up because God knows he's way beyond tipsy.
"H...happy New Years!" They exclaimed as they popped a thing of confetti.
She falls onto the ground.
I've never seen her like this.
My eyes shoot up in rags to meet Jeremy's eyes.
"YOU!" I yelled."YOU DID THIS!"
Scott puts his hand on my shoulder but it falls off when I run to go pickup Kirstie.
I look at Scott,"I'll be back."
But he doesn't stay back.
He decides to accompany me.
I mean, hell. I'm not gonna tell him no.
I was struggling to pick up Kirstie.
Don't get the wrong impression, she's farrrrr from fat. I just have NO upper body strength. Scott grabs one arm and I grab the other.
"Hey!" Jeremy snaps, mostly at me.
"What?!" I growl back.
"She's mine!"
He try's to knock us off of her but he begins to grunt.
He falls to his knees, curls over, as hurls.
"Fuck, ew."
Scott laughs at me and we continue to K's room.

I lay her down onto the bed and we tuck her in.
"Wh-where's Jeremy?"
I give her a sympathetic look and point out to the hallway.
"Throwing up."
She gasps,"AND YOU LEFT HIM?!"
I give her an annoyed look.
"Kit! It was him or you and I-" I take a long breath,"HE GOT YOU FUCKED UP!"
"Mitch im-" I hush her before she can finish.
" "tired of me making your decisions for you" yes Kirstin I know."
She begins to raise her voice,"bring him back to the room."
I shake my head.
"NOW!" She yells.
"No. I'm not allowing you to get hurt and that's that. Be mad at me all you want. You'll be fine in the morning."
She shrieks and jumps up out of her bed, pushing past Scott and into my room.
Scotts body slams into the wall.
"Scott!" I gasp rushing over to him.
He brushes me off,"I'm fine, Mitchy! Go. Get. Her."
I contemplate then nod and head towards my room.
"take....THIS!" She yells as she throws my stuff into the living room.
Almost of my stuff is out of my room and onto the floor.
She picks up something my mom gave me.
"Kirstie! No!"
But it's to late.
I hear a loud shatter behind me.
It was the last thing I had of my moms.
I protected it with life and.. For her to do that..
Her facial expression changes as she realizes what she did.
Tears threaten to pour from my eyes.
"Mitchyyy.."
I wipe the tears from my eyes,"NO!" I take in a deep breath to steady myself.
I begin to gather some of my most important belongings.
"Mitch please.. No. I'm sorry."
"Kirstin I can't DO this anymore."
I walk out of the door, belongings in hand, leaving Kirstie and Scott behind.
Scott.
I can't face him! Not after this.
I take the stairs to the bottom floor and head towards my car.
"Mitch! Mitch wait!" A familiar voice sounds.
I already know who it is.
Tears threaten my eyes for the second time.
I drop all of my stuff to the ground, along with myself, my small body hitting the hard, cold concrete.
It hurts but I don't flinch.
I feel his arms wrap around me.
"Mitch honey. It's gonna be okay. I promise."
I scoff. "Ha, right. I've lost my BEST FRIEND. HOW is everything okay?! I have no place to stay! I'm not going back home so they can laugh at me and tell me I failed!"
More tears scurry down my cheeks onto Scott's wrist.
"Ew, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to..cry on you?"
We both laugh trying to make me happy.
"Oh no! AHHH!" He yells," my hand is burning from your acidic tears!"
I can't help but die laughing.
" I know it's so super early but, you have nowhere to go.. So.. You can move in with me."
My hand automatically flies over my mouth.
"No..I can't.."
He gapes at me,"why not?"
I look up to meet his eyes, they're serious now.
"I don't want to be a burden and you get tired of me. I really like you, Scott."
He laughs again," You could never be a burden toward me, Angel."
His face lights up,"oh!" He goes into his jacket pocket and pulls out the glass angel Kirstie broke. "I picked it up. We can attempt to fix it.. I'm so sorry that happened."
I grabbed the side of the car and hoisted myself up.
I lean in and hug him long and hard.
"Scott.. Thank you."
He nods and help me pick up my stuff.
I go to walk up the stairs until he grabs me and our lips meet. Our tongues fighting for dominance of each other.
He pulls away and intertwines my fingers with his.
Despite what just happened with kit, I really couldn't be happier.

When wet arrive at his side of the apartment, Jeremy is still curled up on the floor.
"'Mitchy, take your stuff inside. I'll be back."
I close the door and put my ear to it.

SCOTTS P.O.V.
"Listen here you piece of shit." I pull Jeremy up and onto his back," don't you EVER fucking come around Mitch EVER a fucking gain. You hear me?"
I punch him with all of my might right into his nose area, sounding a few cracks from it.
"Ow, fuck!" He growls.
I kick him hard in the ribs, then let him fall face first into vomit.

MITCHS P.O.V.
I know it's mean, but I can't but laugh.
Then my laugh is interrupted but butterflies.
A shit ton of them.
I hear the doorknob open and I rush into his living room.
"Aww, kitten. Look at you, so cute."
Just when I thought were gone, the word kitten stirs them up. I can hear my heart beating loudly.
My eyes flicker down to his knuckles.
Bruised and bleeding.
He must've realized my face because now his eyes are locked in his knuckles.
"Oh, this?"
I nod.
"Just roughing up Jeremy a little. Nothing.. Too serious."
I laugh quietly.
He grabs my stuff and takes it into his room.
"Do you mind sharing a room with me?"
I blush. "N-no."
He smiles and grabs my stuff and sets it in the room.
"We'll settle all your stuff in tomorrow. I'll also get the rest of it from her apartment.. Tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm gonna go wash my hands off."
I laugh and nod at him.
Wow. This is happening.
I hope we last.
He's so perfect. One of a kind.
And those blue eyes...
I pick up his big, fluffy comforter and snuggle into it after stripping down to my boxers.
I let my eyelids close and I drift off.
