Well...

If you guys didn't read my thoughts book, then I have something to tell you. Some of you already know, but others don't.

Yesterday, I went to a counselor and I found out that I have social anxiety and trust issues.

That doesn't surprise me, but I'm happy that I found out and that I went to a counselor who diagnosed it properly. It'll be hard, but I'll survive.

I always do.

ON WITH THE STORY

Mitch sat in the hospital bed, bouncing up and down with a smile on his face. Alex was smiling too while Kevin had a blank look on his face yet he had tears lingering in his eyes,  trying his best not to think of the inevitable.

"Mitchell, I apologize for this surgery being last minute. Have you had anything to eat today?"

"No, sir."

"Have you had anything to eat recently?"

Mitch frowned, looking down at his lap quietly as the doctor waited for his answer. Alex frowned himself, shaking his head as he looked at Mitch.

"Mitch, you just can't eat. That's not good."

"I'm not hungry," Mitch murmured, his stomach rumbling at the same time. He blushed, wrapping his arms around his stomach as he looked at Kevin. "Dad, where's Pops? Could I see him?"

"Um, he's talking to his oncologist right now. I'll get him after your surgery, okay? He wants to see you, but he's busy."

Mitch nodded as the doctor smiled at the young adult, putting a gentle hand on Mitch's back. Today will be the day Mitch will finally be healthy again.

He'll finally be free.

"Okay, let's wheel you out and prepare you for anesthesia. You will be asleep the entire time so you don't need to worry about waking up or anything. Any questions?"

Mitch shook his head, just wanting the surgery to begin. Kevin, on the other hand, however...

"Okay, let's start! When you wake up, you'll have a need kidney."

Alex kissed Mitch's temple gently, the couple smiling at each other once more before Mitch was wheeled off. Kevin watched the entire scene in front of him, his heart breaking as memories came back to him.

Alex and Mitch reminded him of him and Avi when they first stared dating. Kevin came out of nowhere and Avi instantly fell heads over heels in love with Kevin.

Hopefully Mitch got that same reaction when he first met Alex.

Kevin left without a word, his breath shaky as he walked into a room. A nurse smiled at Kevin sadly, letting the poor man see his love.

Possibly for the last time.

"He will be put under anesthesia any time now. You may talk to him now."

Kevin nodded, crying softly as he walked over to Avi. Avi smiled, holding Kevin's hand once it was offered to him. Kevin kissed Avi's hand, crying as he shook his head.

"You can't die, Avi. You can't. Mitch needs you. I need you."

"I knew you were going to say that. Do you remember when we told each other that we will always love each other, even after we die?"

Kevin sobbed, nodding as Avi put a gentle hand on his husband's cheek, taking a deep breath before speaking.

"You'll be fine, love. Mitch will take  some time to heal, but he'll find someone who will help him through it."

Kevin took a deep breath, nodding as a few nurses came in and went to Avi's bedside. Kevin kissed Avi sweetly one last time, smiling at him softly.

"Forever and forever?"

"Forever and forever."

( Different is one year old!!!)

For an evil person, Kirstie was very smart.

Well, that's what she thought.

But she has done things that people will be impressed by once they heard what she has done.

She never knew how easy it was to trick Avi into thinking his cancer came back, sneaking into the Olusola household to replace Avi's medicine with pills that screwed up his body.

Why does this matter?

Kirstie made everyone think that Avi was dying so Mitch could slip into a whirlpool of depression, either going back to drugs or killing himself.

She desperately hoped for the second one.

Second, she took the knife that she used on Mitch and used it on Jeremy, laughing hysterically as her boyfriend screamed and cried and begged at Kirstie in hopes of not dying. That only made Kirstie want to kill him more.

Then she ran away.

She received a call from the police, not even an hour later, putting her acting skills into action.

"I di-didn't do it! Wh-why wo-wo-would I ki-kill my boyfriend?!"

After that was done, she smirked and hung up the phone, wondering how people could be so dumb and gullible. She hated everyone with a passion.

Especially Mitch.

Lastly, she abused Scott into a state of mind that made him think that hurting Mitch was okay. She hurt Scott  everyday after school and it just went to the point were Scott was practically under Kirstie's demand and did everything he was told to do, even if it involved hurting Mitch.

She loved feeling evil.

Now she could be set free if Scott doesn't remember anything.

Thank God Scott has that crazy person disorder. He doesn't remember anything. He's such an idiot.

At that moment, someone knocked on Kirstie's door. She had rented an apartment and now went by her alias, Dani Miranda Lakoot-Kstylor. No one would expect a thing. 

"Who is it?"

"L.A.P.D! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!"

Kirstie widened her eyes, slipping on her brown wig and thick glasses before opening the door, smiling sweetly.

"Hello, may I-"

"You're under arrest for threatening Scott Hoying and the possession of the weapon used for Mitchell Olusola's attempted murder. Anything you say-"

Kirstie took off running as fast as she could.

"STOP THAT GIRL!"

Kirstie ran into the park, getting looks from parents, grandparents, babysitters, and little children. A middle age woman looked up at Kirstie once she sat down, raising her eyebrow as she put a gentle hand on Kirstie's back.

"Are you okay, young lady? You're out of breath."

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just-"

"Mommy, that girl is being chased by the police," a little girl practically yelled, jumping onto her mom's lap. "Do you think she stole candy?"

"I don't think so, honey. Hold on."

Before Kirstie could run off, the mother instantly handcuffed her to the bench. The woman stood up, smirking as she shook her head.

"Esther Koop, undercover cop. You, Dani, are arrested for-"

"I know!"

"You're not supposed to yell at mommies," the little girl reminded Kirstie, shaking her finger in a 'no' way. "That's what my mommy said."

"Good girl," Esther commented, putting on her walkie talkie. "Yes, we got her. She'll be in the back of my car any second now and Lacy should be picked up by Darien right now, over. Lacy, Daddy is here."

"Okay, bye bye, Mommy!"

Kirstie rolled her eyes and was about to say something when Esther shook her head, glaring before speaking.

"I know you stabbed my nephew and killed Jeremy, Kirstie."

So much for being smart.

~~~

"Why does this school care so much for him? What has he done to make people happy?!"

"A lot of things, Kirstin," Jeremy spoke up angrily, shaking his head when Kirstie rolled her eyes in response. "Kirstie, Mitch is in rehab. He could be in there longer for a year. Have you no shame?"

"So? People kill themselves everyday because they're sick and tired and selfish. Why should I care about some idiot who does drugs?"

"You're an idiot who does drugs so you don't care for yourself?" Nicole asked, getting everyone around the table to laugh. Kirstie kicked Scott roughly, causing the poor boy to yelp loudly. "Scott, are you oka-are you cutting yourself, Scott?"

Scott looked down at his wrists, Kirstie's signature KTM permanently marked on his skin. Scott wished that the scars still looked like KTM, but now they looked like self-inflicted scars.

And Scott knew what Kirstie would do if he said anything about her hurting him.

"Um, yes. I'm sorry," Scott mumbled, pulling down his sleeves so no one else could look at them. Nicole frowned, shaking her head as she looked at Scott seriously.

"Scott, don't be sorry. Ask for help, okay? You need it. I don't want you to do something bad to yourself. Is your schizophrenia acting up?"

Scott blushed then nodded, feeling humiliated when everyone frowned and stared at him sadly.

Well, everyone besides Kirstie.

"Scott, stop being an idiot and be happy. You're just wanting attention and just because you got it from your friends does not mean you'll get it from other people. You're just begging for atte-"

"Kirstie," Jeremy interrupted, slamming his hand down on the table. Everyone jumped, making them look at Jeremy. "If you keep I doing this, I will breakup with you. Scott is one of the nicest people ever and if you're hurting him in some way, I will not hesitate to call the police. You're being a real jerk right now and I hope you get what's coming for you."

"I'll stop being mean, holy crud. If you breakup with me, however, I will not hesitate to humiliate you. I did it to Mitch and I could do it to anyone else at this table. Any volunteers?"

When no one spoke up or looked at Kirstie, she smirked and stood up, flipping her hair back in a snobby way.

"I'm leaving now. See you losers later. Scott, stop by afterwards. I need to talk to you." 

Scott nodded quickly, playing with his fingers as Kirstie walked off with her nose in the hair. Jeremy and Nicole both shook their heads, looking at Scott seriously before speaking.

"Scott, don't let her do this to you," Nicole begged quietly, putting a gentle hand on Scott's cheek. Her heart broke when Scott flinched abruptly, tearing up as Scott moved over. "Scott, what is she doing to you?"

"Nothing," Scott lied, hoping no one will think he's lying.

Jeremy, however, always knew when Scott was lying.

"Scott, tell the truth. Is Kirstie hurting you? We could call the police and make sure she is in jail. You don't need to be afraid."

Scott shook his head, his face crumpling as he let out a quiet sob. Nicole let a tear slip, putting a gentle on Scott's back as she shook her head.

"Scott, she's hurting you. Why didn't you say anything about it? We could've helped yo-"

Scott stood up, taking his backpack with him as he cried some more. Nicole was crying too while Jeremy shook his head, wondering what Kirstie did to him.

A/N: Kirstie is finally captured! Yay!!! How did you guys like that plot twist with Avi? ;) If you're confused, I'll explain it more. Anyways, I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter and remember that I love you all enjoyed.:)
