Chapter 23

Mitch took a small step forward, tapping Travis' shoulder a few times. "Hey... I'm willing to give you another chance. Just... Please don't hurt him again." "I won't, Mitch. You don't know what it's like to feel so alone that you're caving in on yourself. Because you have Scott, who practically suffocates you with his love. He'd do anything for you. But... I ruined my own life. And... I need Alex, just so that I can survive." Mitch frowned at him, setting a hand on his back. "I'm sorry for being so hard on you..." "Don't be sorry. I deserve it. But I'll prove to you, to all of you. I'm not who I used to be."

"I'll believe it when I see it."
