Chapter 2: Just come back to me
Alex's POV
I was ready and it was time for the memorial. I went down and they were all waiting. As soon as I reached there, they all stood up and that meant that it was time to go to the memorial in the wizarding world. We all walk through the gate in the lair and into the wizarding world.
As I was walking to the seat upfront, I saw everyone looking at me with sad eyes. Most of them stood up and came to me and said "We're sorry for your loss". I just nod and walk again. Everyone was there. Juliet, Mason, Harper, Seth and the wizarding council and half the people of that city were there. These were just in the wizarding world. In the burial, in our world, Mitchie's friends from camp rock will be there and all those who knew her.
Finally, I found my place upfront and I slide in and sit down quietly. At that moment, I swear I could feel Mitchie, with that trademark warm, vanilla scented breeze. But who was I kidding? She is dead and all thanks to me. At the same moment, Mason sits next to me and puts his arms around me in a tight hug, and that warm breeze was gone. And after a few minutes, the high priest of the council started talking but I didn't pay any attention to what he was saying. Long story short, Mitchie had a memorial of a hero, which she deserved.
The memorial finished and it was time for the burial on earth, and with one swish of the priest's wand, we were teleported to the cemetery on earth then we waited a while till those who know Mitchie came. I stood up and they came one by one. Caitlyn came first and she held me in a hug "I'm sorry" she said. "Thank you for being here today" I replied. And after Caitlyn came, Tess, Ella, Peggy, Nate, Shane, Jason, Brown, Lola, Baron and his friend which I can't seem to remember his name and much more arrived. Then the ceremonies started. As usual, the priest said a few words then asked if any of Mitchie's friends or family would like to come up and say a word.
Tess stood up and walked to the front. "Hi, I'm Tess and I'm Mitchie's friend from camp rock. The truth is… we weren't off to a great start but she changed me in a way I could never imagine. She taught me about the values of love and she taught me on how to speak for myself and stand by my own decisions. She taught me not to be scared of what people might say or think" Tess' voice started to crack and tears began to fall. So Caitlyn stood up and walked to Tess and held her hand. "And now, we have each other" Caitlyn continued on behalf of her own fiancé, Tess. They both looked at Mitchie's Coffin. "Thank you for everything you have done for us, Mitchie" Tess finally said as she and Caitlyn went back to their seats.
I thought they were done talking but Shane stood up to talk. "I'm sorry… for everything I have done" that's all he said and then he looked at her in the coffin for a while then he went back to his seat. From what he said, I remembered what 'everything I have done' meant.
Flashback
It was a school day but Mitchie was nowhere to be found. Alex went everywhere and searched every place in Tribeca High, but there was no use. Mitchie hadn't call since yesterday and Alex was getting worried. She was in the hallway, leaning against her locker door, when Harper came by. "Wow Alex… you look sad… are you alright?" she asked. This was the first time that Harper saw Alex actually care about someone. "I don't know… It's just… Mitchie didn't call yesterday and didn't show up today and I'm really worried about her" Alex said in almost a whisper.
The school day was finally over and it is time to get home. Alex walked the street and passed through the way leading to the main door of their house. Alex didn't want to pass from the way of the substation, cause she knows that if she passes through there, Justin was going to see her and tell her to wait the tables. Alex was not in a mood for doing anything until she finds out what happened to Mitchie. Justin and Max run the sub-shop for a few days with the help of uncle Kelbo, since Jerry and Teresa went on an anniversary holiday that Justin kindly gave them.
Alex walked until she reached the back road which leads straight to the door of their house. And as she came closer and closer, she saw a figure sitting at the door step of her house. And as she got closer to that figure, she realized who it was.
Mitchie Torres was sitting on Alex Russo's door step with blood dropping from her hand. Mitchie was sitting there waiting for Alex to come home. She was wearing baggy jeans and a grey hoodie and her face was buried in her blood filled hands. Alex just dropped her school bag in the middle of the street and ran towards Mitchie. She knelt in front of the other brunette and held her in a comforting embrace.
"Who did this to you?" Alex asked worried of what happened to her girlfriend. Mitchie was still sobbing and crying, then she remover her hands from her face. "I thought we were fine… I thought that both of us were happy with our lives… I… I didn't know who did it but he blamed… he… blamed it all on me" Mitchie said in a whisper. At that moment Alex was so confused and didn't understand who 'He' meant but one thing she knew was that she should take Mitchie inside and clean her up from all the blood.
Alex lifted Mitchie and searched for the keys to open the door. Mitchie held tight to Alex's waist and buried her face in her neck. And once Alex found the key they entered the house as Alex guided Mitchie to her room.
Mitchie sat on the bed but she still wouldn't let go if Alex. So Alex went down on her knees to be in eye level with Mitchie, but Mitchie was looking down. "Mitchie, baby, You need to let go of me for a while, so I can help you… Then I promise that we'll spend the whole day together… I will never leave your side" she said to Mitchie as she slowly let go of her. "Now, show me your hands" Alex asked, in a sweet yet firm tone. And Mitchie obeyed as she stuck out her hands for Alex to see.
Alex gasped as she saw Mitchie's hand. It had shards of glass and a few splinters of wood. "I'll go get the tweezers and a first aid kit" Alex said as she bolted out of the room as fast as she could. And then she came back and this time she sat next to Mitchie. Alex held one of Mitchie's hands "This is going to hurt but once I finish you'll feel fine" Alex said as she started pulling the glass shards and wood splinters from Mitchie's hand. With each pull, Alex could hear Mitchie whimper, but she knew that she had to continue, cause if Mitchie's wounds get infected, who knows what would happen.
After Alex finished one hand, she put some alcohol on a piece of cotton "This is gonna sting a bit honey, but I have to do it… Is it okay with you?" Alex asked hesitantly before she got a nod from Mitchie to continue. Alex started cleaning the wound and Mitchie hissed, the moment the alcohol touched the wounds. It burned but Mitchie didn't care, because she knew that she was in the safe hands of her one, true love.
After Alex cleaned the wound in Mitchie's first hand, she wrapped it with bandage and then she took the other hand and repeated the whole process. After both of Mitchie's hands were cleaned and bandaged, Alex turned to face Mitchie and started removing her hair from her face.
Alex was shocked at the discovery of a cut and a bruise on Mitchie's face and more bruising on her stomach. At that moment Alex's eyes were filled with anger, but she couldn't ask her shocked girlfriend about what happened, at least not yet. Alex sighed and then she started cleaning Mitchie's cut on her face and she put some cream on the bruises. Then Alex stood up and went to her closet and got some clean clothes for Mitchie. Thankfully, they were almost the same size.
Alex then guided Mitchie to the bathroom to change her clothes. A few moments later Mitchie came out of the bathroom dressed in the clean clothes Alex gave her. Then suddenly she broke down, crying. "I'm so… sorry" she said. Alex then went to Mitchie and held her in her arms. "Shhhh… there's no reason to be sorry, baby" Alex said as she reassured her with a tight hug. Then they both sat on the bed.
"Now tell me, what happened" Alex asked. Mitchie breathed deeply before explaining what had happened "It… It was Shane… he… he said that I'm the one who told everyone about him and Andy… he said that just because I have the guts to come out doesn't mean he can, too… I told him… I told him that I didn't do anything… and it wasn't my secret to tell… but he didn't believe me… he hit me and threw me against the window… and it broke and I landed on it, that's why I had all those shards and splinters… and then he… he got the knife and he… but I was able to run away" she said as the tears fell down from her eyes. At that moment, Alex's hand turned into a fist but it softens once Mitchie held it. "I swear to god… I'm Gonna…..!" Alex screamed and clenched her teeth. "Alex, don't. Please. Just stay with me" Mitchie pleaded. And Alex nodded. Then Mitchie buried her face in Alex's neck and fell asleep, so Alex left her on the bed and went out to the substation while Mitchie took rest.
"Where have you been?" Justin asked. "Long story" Alex replied. Then a few moments later, Shane and Andy showed up at the substation. "Where is Mitchie? I need to talk to her!" Shane demanded. "You have a lot of nerve coming in here!" Alex screamed and Justin came running and stood behind her.
"Look I'm sorry… I just want to tell her that I'm sorry… I was angry at that time and I didn't know what I was doing… It turns out that Andy told everyone, cause he got the courage from Mitchie to go out" Shane said in a voice full of regrets. "Sorry?... Sorry? That's all you could say?" Alex screamed at his face with tears filling her eyes. "Sorry… Doesn't fix the bruises she has…. Sorry… Doesn't erase the cut on her face or the wounds in her hands… and most of all… sorry… sorry, doesn't fix the hurt you've caused us" she said as he broke down and went on his knees to beg for forgiveness.
"Don't worry… I forgive you." A voice came from behind Alex, it was Mitchie. She was coming down the stairs with a big smile on her face. After a minute, she joined Alex and she stood in front of Shane and Andy. Mitchie reached out her hand and helped Shane up. "It took a lot of courage from you and I admire that… Thank you" Mitchie said and Shane hugged her with tears in his eyes.
It was that moment when Alex realized that the girl she loved has a really big heart filled with hope and forgiveness. And she also realized that one person, CAN make a difference.
End Flashback
"Alex" I hear someone call my name and I snap out of the flashback. It was Harper, she was pointing at me to stand and say a few words. I stood and walked to the front. I smiled, but I couldn't say a word. "I… I'm thankful that you all took the time and came here today. It means a lot to me and… to Mitchie. So… Thank you" I managed to say and went back to my seat beside Mason. After that the ceremony ended and Mitchie's coffin was lowered to the ground and covered in sand. Mitchie was now… gone... and so are all her friends and the council and everyone.
My parents and her parents left me there, standing over her tombstone. They thought that they'd give me a little privacy to say my final goodbyes. But… That's something I would never do. I would never say goodbye.
But at that moment, that same warm breeze with vanilla scent passed by me again. "I will never leave you" the voice said to me, it was almost a whisper, but I could recognize that voice no matter where I am. It was her, it was Mitchie. "Mitchie... JUST COME BACK TO ME!" I yell. I know she's there… but… how?
