"Hey, Mitch," Ben called out, widening his eyes when he saw the new hair color. "How do you look so amazing in everything you do to your body?"
"I don't know," Mitch answered, shrugging his shoulders. "I guess I'm just lucky."
"You are lucky," Ben whispered, crossing his arms. He smiled at Mitch, shaking his head. "You are seriously the most beautiful man I ever laid eyes on."
"Thank you," Mitch replied, blushing a bit. Scott came in behind, hugging his Mate from behind. "That's really sweet of you, Ben."
"You're welcome. You deserve to know that you are beautiful. You don't deserve to have your mind tell you that you are ugly. Don't listen to your mind when it's being mean. It's lying. It lies more than Kirstin and Jeremy put together and that's saying a lot."
Mitch laughed as he nodded in agreement as Scott looked at Ben mysteriously. Ben was being nice, too nice. Don't get him wrong! Ben is a nice person. It's just that no one is this kind. Well, there's Mitch who is the kindest person in the world, but nobody was this kind.
"Mitch, babe?" Scott asked, looking down at his purple haired Mate. The Omega nodded, smiling warmly. "Do you mind going upstairs for a moment? I need to talk to Ben."
"Okay, Alpha Scott," Mitch obeyed, nodding his head. He hugged Ben, squeezing him gently. "I love you, Ben."
"I love you too," Ben responded, letting go of the hug. Mitch went upstairs, waving to the members and when he went into his room, Ben automatically looked up at Scott. "What's the matter? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, it is," Scott reassured, sighing to himself. He really didn't want to upset Ben. "Why were you being so kind to Mitch?"
"Because being kind to him is seriously the number one thing to do because if you're rude to him, you are the worst human being to ever grace this planet?"
"That's true," Scott agreed, laughing a bit. He frowned once more, looking at Ben seriously. "Why though? Is everything okay?"
"I know about Mitch's disorder. Tori told me."
Scott nodded slowly, wondering why Tori told Ben about that. He was planning to tell Jessi and Ben about Mitch's mentality, but it seems like someone else just did that.
"Okay," Scott relies quietly, trying his best not to yell at Tori. "Be nice to him but not sympathetic. Being sympathetic won't help at all. You're a great friend to him, Ben. Never change that."
"I won't, I promise. Mitchy is my best friend and I refuse to let him get hurt."
~~~
"I have a question," Mitch spoke up at dinner, putting down Melody's food for a small second. Everyone nodded, waiting to hear what he had to say. "Since I have purple hair, will my child have purple hair too?"
Scott was about to say something inappropriate but stopped himself. He shrugged his shoulders, smirking sweetly. He kissed Mitch's temple, bringing him closer to him.
"That's a serious question though," Jessi pointed out, looking at Ben. "I don't think so though. Maybe they'll have your hair color or Scott's."
"I wish they will have Scott's hair. It reminds me of the ocean."
Scott laughed at the image of their future second child having his hair. He hoped that his child will rock it, but he knew that nobody else will be able to rock his hair like him.
"I think I have the most awesome hair in the Pack," Avi spoke up, shaking his head to make his hair go wild. "It's not everyday that you see someone that has Jesus hair."
"Okay, babe," Tori told him playfully, shaking her head. "We have to work on our wedding. You can worry about your Jesus hair for another time."
"Okay," Avi replied, superfrowning as he tied his hair back. The Omegas laughed as Tori and Scott shook their heads. "When are Alyssa and Kevin coming home? I miss them!"
Scott was about to answer when the door opened, showing Kevin in a wheelchair and Alyssa behind him. Erik and Ariel sat on their daddy's lap, wanting to play with him once they got inside. Alyssa looked up, widening her eyes when she saw Mitch's hair.
"Well, looks like the color purple isn't just a musical anymore."
Mitch smiled as he stood up, hugging Alyssa tightly. They let go of each other and Mitch was about to hug Kevin when the male Beta said something that broke his heart.
"Alyssa, why is the other nurse living with us? I thought he lived somewhere else."
Mitch shook his head, not believing that Kevin forgot who he was. He turned around and ran upstairs, wanting to get away from everyone. Scott stood up, looking at everyone sadly.
"I'll be right back."
He ran upstairs, hoping that Mitch will talk to him. His heart broke when he heard sobs echoing in the hallway, sitting down next to his crying Mate. Mitch hugged him quickly, not understating why Kevin forgot all about him.
"If Kevin never had that long nap, he'll still remember me! Why did he sleep for so long?"
Scott didn't know what Mitch meant by long nap until he put two and two together, nodding slowly. Mitch meant coma, but he didn't know the word all too well. He didn't know a lot of words and often used words that little kids used to describe something, which was a part of his mental disorder.
"Mitch, he'll remember you. Just wait."
"What if he doesn't though?"
"He will."
"How do you know?"
"He loves you too much to forget you forever."
~~~
"So he got back his memory, but he forgot about Mitch?"
"Yep."
"Amazing. Mitch will slowly lose all that love he got throughout the years. Man, it feels awesome to be evil."
"No it doesn't."
Kirstin glared at Alex, ready to yell something when a thought came into her head. She smiled evilly as she looked up at Jeremy, her eyes full of evil.
"Jeremy, could you get me something? I think it's time to use it."
Jeremy raised an eyebrow and it took him a second to realize what his Mate was saying. When he found out, he nodded and went to the cabinets, taking out something.
"I dot want to help anymore," Alex fought back angrily, ready to punch someone across the face. "I would rather die than-"
"So you want Jake to die?"
Alex was about to say no when he saw what was in Jeremy's hands. He widened his eyes, looking up at Kirstin once more.
"Does this look familiar?"
"No, it doesn't."
"Oh, that's right! You weren't there when it happened! Jeremy, would you like to explain?"
"Yes, I would! This knife is the same knife Kirstin used to stab Mitch. We're giving it to you."
"Why?"
Alex took it from Jeremy, looking at it fearfully. There was some blood on it, but he could tell right away that it was gag blood. Kirstin smirked at him as she pulled him down, whispering in his ear.
"You're going to kill Mitch with that or we'll kill Jake with it. Your choice."
Alex decided right away.
