Why I Left and Why I'm Leaving

Chapter 11

[Mitch's POV]

I sit in the back of the van.

Zip-tied to a pole.

I begin to sob. I'll never see my Biggums again.

Why, Adam?

"Shut up. Don't cry." One of the men throws a Starbucks cup at me. I choke back my sobs. I'm beginning to hate that little window in the wall that separates us.

[Adam's POV]

~MAGICAL TIME SKIP OF MAGICALNESS!~

I sit with my back against the door.

The door's locked.

I begin to sob. I'll never see one of my best friends again.

Why, Adam?

It's been about 4 months since I'd been in my room and I'd grown thin and frail. It's November, and when I look out the window, it snows.

I barely even remember what my friends look like.

Why did you do this to yourself?

"Adam, please come out." Ty softly asks against the door. I stay silent. Ty knocks 5 times. "Do you wanna build a snowman? Come on lets go and play. I never see you anymore. Come out the door. It's like you've gone away. We used to be best buddies and now we're not, I wish you would tell me why! Do you wanna build a snowman? It doesn't have to be a snowman." I hold back a laugh.

"Go away, Ty."

"Okay, bye."

~Three weeks later~

I wake up and realize that I'd fallen asleep next to the door and had woken up to the sound of knocking.

"Adam. Please, I know you're in there. People are asking where you've been. They say "have courage", and I'm trying to, I'm right out here for you, just let me in. We only have each other -And Jerome- It's just you and me -And Jerome- What are we gonna do? Do you wanna build a snowman?"

I hear sobbing. I begin silently crying into my knees. "Adam. You've been gone for 5 months. It's almost christmas. Honestly? The only thing I would want for christmas is you. I only saw your face for two hours, I've forgotten what you look like. Please, Adam." I want to respond, but I've lost the ability to speak.

[Ty's POV]

I really wish Adam would come out. Jerome cried every time I mention Mitch or Adam.
