Scary Movies

Scott and Mitch were curled up on the couch watching horror movies together. Scott was fine with all scary movies. Mitch, on the other hand, was terrified and jumped every time a demon or a monster would pop out. Mitch watched as the lady got in her car at desolate parking garage. Suddenly an old lady popped up from the back seat and started beating up the other girl. Mitch screamed and turned  his head to bury it in Scott's shoulder.

Scott put a comforting hand on Mitch's shoulder and turned back to the movie. After the movie finished Scott turned the TV off and said "I'm beat. I'm going to bed. Night Mitchy" and kissed Mitch's head before heading to his room. Mitch turned off the lights and scurried to his room, hoping that no monsters were hiding in the dark.

He laid down and was just drifting off to sleep when he heard a long, loud creak from somewhere. Mitch laid still, hardly breathing and thoughts running wild. What's if it's the Evil lady from the movie. She's gonna beat you up. He thought. Mitch shook his head.  Stop that it's probably a branch blowing in the wind. Just calm down.  He mentally scolded himself.

He was so close to falling asleep when a distant this made him jump. Mitch was hardly breathing and just stayed still, shivering in fear.  He couldn't stay in here alone. Mitch jumped up and barged into Scott's room, waking Scott up in the process. "Mitch, what's wrong?" Scott asked, sleep evident in his voice. "Can't sleep. I keep hearing things. I'm scared" he whimpered, voice trembling.

Scott understood immediately and opened his arms. Mitch gratefully jumped into his arms and snuggled up. Despite being snuggled up with Scott Mitch couldn't sleep. He pushed on Scott's chest and whispered "Scotty, I still can't sleep. Scotty help." Scott softly started to sing "Close your eyes, lay your head down.."  Scott looked down halfway through the first verse only to find Mitch fast asleep and lightly snoring.

Scott smiled at the adorable sight. "Good night Mitchy. I love you." He kissed his head, made sure that the blanket was covering them both and fell into a deep sleep.
