I'm back.<3

Also, comments make me happy. I know I sound thirsty, but comment a lot? Please? It will make me very happy and besides going to Disney, I wasn't really happy this week...:(

Also, I just found out today that my soon-to-be-stepsister is having a son. I'm going to have a nephew.<3

Esther gave Jordyn over to Alyssa, refusing to look at the Beta. Alyssa glared at her, waiting for an answer. Josh came up to them, wondering why Alyssa was even glaring at Esther in the first place.

"What's go-"

"Why did you put the kids up for adoption?" Alyssa hissed, going up to Esther more. Esther backed up, unable to look at Alyssa. "TELL ME!"

"I-I-"

"WHAT?!"

"Calm down, she just lost her baby," Josh spoke up, defending his sister. That didn't stop Alyssa though.

"What...did...you...do?"

Esther was about to answer when she picked Alyssa roughly. The Beta fell on the ground, making sure that Jordyn didn't fall. Esther ran outside, rain falling on her instantly.

Shoot, shoot, shoot!

She ran under an awning, trying to make herself warm when she saw a small figure wearing provocative clothing. She shook her head, glaring at them meanly.

"I hate prostitutes."

When the figure came closer, Esther widened her eyes and almost screamed. She ran up to the figure, almost dropping to her knees when she saw who the prostitute was.

"Mitch?!"

The figure looked up at her, confirming that if was indeed Mitch. Esther walked up to him, her eyes full of worry as she looked him up and down.

"What happened to yo-"

Mitch widened his eyes, running away so he wouldn't have to talk to Esther. Esther ran after him, despite the fact that she just had a miscarriage.

"MITCH, WAIT!"

Mitch didn't listen, making Esther run faster. Esther finally caught up to Mitch, wrapping her arms around his waist tightly. Mitch screamed, tears rolling down his face while Esther refused to let him.

"LET ME GO!"

"Mitch, it's just me! It's Esther!"

"STOP! I DON'T WANT IT! STOP!"

Esther widened her eyes a bit, wondering why Mitch even said that. Mitch cried even harder, falling to his knees in hopes to escape Esther's grip.

"Stop, just stop. I'll do anything you want me to and you could do whatever you want to me. Just...stop."

Esther let Mitch go carefully, watching him tense as his eyes turned blue. She sat down, brushing his blond hair back gently. Mitch still flinched, tramutized after all that happened.

Being forced to join the strip club.

Being laughed at by club goers.

Being humiliated by the strippers.

The rape.

The boss making him his Mate.

His Mate.

"Es-Esther?" Mitch asked, his voice shaking as he looked up at the Beta. She nodded, forgetting about Mitch 'killing' Kirstin. "I have a new Mate."

Esther's jaw dropped, making her wonder why Mitch would ever do that to Scott. What did Scott ever do to deserve that? Esther shook her head and scold Mitch for doing such a terrible thing when she remembered something.

Something terrible.

Friendly reminder that you stole the kids. Sure, Mitch has a new Mate, but that doesn't make him the bad one in this situation. If he is a prostitute or stripper, he was pro abs forced into it. Tell Mitch what you did, you hypocrite. What you did is nothing compared to what Mitch did.

"Mitch? I have something to tell you."

Mitch nodded, looking up at her so he could see what Esther had to say. Esther sighed, sitting Mitch up so she could tell him the truth.

I'm so sorry, Mitch.

"I stole your kids."

Mitch stood up, despite the pain in his body. He walked away quickly, officially done with people hurting him and the people he loved. Esther stood up herself, tears gathering in her eyes as she caught up to Mitch.

"Mitch!"

"What?!"

"I gave the kids up for adoption."

Mitch stopped, turning around so he could flare at Esther. Tears gathered in his eyes, shaking his head as he walked up to her.

"Tell...me...the...agency."

"I-I don't remember."

"Whatever, Esther. Goodbye."

Mitch left, leaving Esther alone in the rain. She looked at the ground, looking up at the sky as she began to regret her decisions.

What have I done?

~~~

Scott drove around town carefully, turning on the windshield wipers to make his window clean. If was raining hard, asking him worried.

I hope Mitch is okay.

As he though this, another flashback came back. Scott whimpered quietly, tears in his eyes as he pulled over.

"SCOTT, HURRY UP! IT'S RAINING TOO HARD! YOU COULD BE ATTACKED!"

"I KNO-"

*BOOM*

Scott watched in horror as a fellow cadet of his was blown off a building, falling to his demise.

All this happened on the first day.

Scott took a deep breath, wiping his eyes so he could find Mitch. He drove past a strip club, not caring much about it. He pulled around the corner, watching as a male wearing cat ears come out of the alley. He frowned, pulling up so he could bring the man inside of his car.

"Hey, do you want a ri-"

Scott's eyes filled with tears as the male tuned around, blue meeting brown. Mitch began to sob quietly, wanting nothing more than to be held by his husband.

"Mitch!"

"Scott!"

Scott grabbed a jacket, putting his hood on begotten coming out of the car. He ran over to Mitch, hugging his husband tightly as he felt his shoulder become wet.

And it wasn't because of the rain.

"I mi-mi-missed you! You're back!"

"I'm back, I'm back, I'm back," Scott reassured, putting the jacket on Mitch. He looked down at the outfit that Mitch was wearing, widening his eyes as he looked back at his husband. "Mitch, what are you wearing?!"

( Mitch is wearing a crop top, but that was the closest picture that describes what he is wearing. It might be a crop top, but I don't know. Also, Ariana!!!)

"I-I'm wearing my work clothes," Mitch whispered, looking down at his feet. He didn't want to see how disappointed Scott was in him because of his outfit. "I'm sorry for dressing like this. I'm so sorry."

"Don't be sorry," Scott murmured, bringing Mitch into the car. He got a blanket from the back, rubbing Mitch's back as he wrapped him up. "Wyatt and Kujo miss you."

"I miss them too."

Scott smiled sadly, noticing how Mitch was tensing from his touch. He took his hand away, looking at the Special with a worried look on his face.

"Mitch, what's wrong?!"

Mitch took a deep breath, tears welling in his eyes as he looked up at Scott. It's now or never.

Scott deserves to know the truth.

"I had...sex with another man."

Scott looked at Mitch, betrayal coursing through his veins. He gripped the steering wheel, wanting nothing more than to scream.

"I've also noticed the Mark on your skin. Do you have a new Mate too?!"

Mitch jumped, not expecting Scott to snap like that. He bit his lip, more tears rolling down his cheeks as he looked outside. The rain seemed to mock him, enjoying his sadness.

I do too.

"Pri-Prince Erik?"

"What?"

Mitch jumped once more, sobbing quietly as he looked back at Scott. Scott's eyes were turning red, making Mitch wonder if he was going to be hurt again.

"I didn't want it. From any of them. I was forced to do it. I would never do that to you. Please forgive me, Sir. Please. I want forgiveness, even though I don't deserve it. You deserve better."

Scott looked at Mitch, seeing nothing but honesty on his face. Tears made the brown eyes wet, making Mitch look more honest. Scott sighed, finally believing Mitch.

"I believe you. I just want to know why you said that you had sex with the first guy. That's rape, Mitch. Also, even if someone besides your Mate Marks you, that does not mean that they are your new Mate. It just means that they are selfish for stealing someone else's Mate. Mitch, what happened to you?"

"I...I was forced to dance for and on people. I had to dance on a pole and on someone's lap. That someone was the one who raped me. I didn't want to  do it. I hated doing it."

Scott pulled over, putting Mitch in his lap. Mitch tensed, especially when he felt his Mate's lips on his neck. He tensed when he felt teeth graze his neck, almost sighing in relief when Scott was done. He looked in the mirror, his eyes widening when he saw his new Mark. Scott looked at him, kissing his temple sweetly as he held him tightly.

"That Mark is to show people that you are my Mate, but that no one is charge of you except yourself. Don't you ever forget that."

"I love you, Prince Erik."

"I love you, Princess Ariel."

~~~

"Avi? I have a question. Why do you and Esther not get along?"

Avi looked up from his book, not knowing how to answer. He looked at Tori, his eyes full of wonder for the question. Tori shrugged her shoulders, wondering why Avi wasn't close to his sister anymore.

"I'm going to be honest and say..."

Avi hesitated, making Kirstie, Tori, Ben, and Jessi all share a look. Kirstie was the only one to know, frowning slightly as she remembered Esther. She missed those big brown eyes and soft skin. She missed the sweet laugh and long legs. She missed the sweet personality and musicality. She missed how much the other woman read, not caring about what happened around her.

She just missed Esther.

"I don't really now. We just stopped talking one day. I guess we just got angry at each other the day of Macy's funeral because we just met each other again after a long time. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Babe, you hesitated."

Avi was about to say something, but he closed his mouth. He looked back at his book, not wanting to talk about it anymore. Kujo came out of the kitchen, barking loudly. Wyatt hissed at him, ready to pounce if the dog got any closer. Tori sighed sadly, shaking her head as she looked at Kirstie.

"He always gets like this whenever Esther is brought up. He never tells me anything about besides the fact that he hates her. I just want to know what she did to him so we could talk. We don't talk anymore and it's scaring me. We're a couple for a reason. We're supposed to tell each other everything to each other."

Kirstie nodded, looking at Avi sadly. He refused to look at everyone, making Ben and Jessi sad. Ben looked up at Kirstie, his brown eyes full of questions as he looked back at Avi.

"Do you know why he is like this?"

"Yes, I do. I know the entire story. I know every little detail from start to finish. I was there the entire it happened; however, it's not my place to tell. Avi has to tell you."

"Avi?" Jessi asked softly, walking up to Avi. Avi side acknowledge them, being 'absorbed' in his book. "Why are you and Esther not close? You have to talk about why you two don't talk to each other anymore. It's not healthy."

Avi looked up at them, sighing as he realized that he couldn't defend himself anymore. He looked at everyone seriously, tears in his eyes as he prepared himself to tell the truth. Tori frowned, ready to wipe away Avi's tears when he shook his head.

Here goes.

"When Kirstie and I were together, we told everyone besides Scott and Kevin that she couldn't pregnant. That's a lie we both made up."

Tori, Jessi, and Ben looked at each other, looking back at Kirstie. Kirstie was crying herself, feeling sorry for Avi. He didn't deserve this. 

"The truth is...I'm the one that can't get girls pregnant. You guys already know that, but there is something that you guys don't know."

"Avi-"

"No, we have to tell the truth. The truth is...is that Esther told everyone that I couldn't make anymore pregnant...after Kirstie had a miscarriage."

A/N: Were you expecting that?;) I'm sorry that I took so long to update.:( I just had a blah week before Disneyland and the last day of school.
