Sky's POV

I cover up Ty's ears. "Notch dammit!" I curse, then remove my hands. I really don't need him repeating any of that.

I let my temper get the best of me. I'm usually that guy, you know, the guy who's always happy.

But I've got a pretty bad temper on me, and I need to learn to get it under control.

I try to think about other things, but the only thing that plays in my head is Mitch's pained expression, the way he bolted to the woods.

I hurt my friend. And it sucked.

I made a move to run after Jerome, but Jason caught my arm, holding me back.

"Don't try it, Sky. It's not worth it." I rip my arm out of his grasp and dart into the woods before he can catch me.

I'm worried for a minute, knowing Jason has a jet pack and he could come at me way faster than I could run. Then, I realized that Ty was with him. There was no way Jason would leave Ty.

I grin. Thanks for being a good guy, Jason.

The leaves crunch under my feet, and I follow the trampled path that Mitch and Jerome made before me.

I know I'm getting close when I hear voices. I slow my run down, and soundlessly make my way towards them.

-wanna talk about it?" I listen as Jerome questions Mitch. "No." Mitch snaps, and I bite back a gasp.

Mitch has never, not once, snapped at Jerome. I must have really ticked him off.

Jerome stays silent, and I move closer until every part of me is in the clearing, and not even my toe is concealed in the woods.

Jerome spots me first, and stands abruptly.

"What do you want, Sky?" He growls, making it clear that I haven't been forgiven for hurting his best friend.

Mitch whips around at the mention of my name.

"Jerome...I just want to talk to him." I keep my voice calm and steady, and Jerome's face softens a bit.

He turns to Mitch. "I'm going to...umm...go see if Jason and Ty need any help getting Ssundee back home."

He turns, then pauses at me. "Make it a good apology, biggums, he's pretty upset with you." He whispers under the sound of the wind.

He runs back through the path of crushed leaves.

Mitch frowns at me. "What in the Nether do you want, Sky?"

His voice doesn't show it, but his face shows that he's been crying.

"I...I'm sorry, Mitch." He turns and gives me a puzzled look.

"What?"

I shift my feet awkwardly. "I...I shouldn't have shot you down like that. I should have given your idea some thought before I just blew up in your face."

"Yeah. You should have."

Those four words are like a punch in the gut. I take a deep breath.

"I'm sorry I let my temper get the best of me." I cautiously take a seat on the stump of a tree next to him.

"Can you forgive me, Mitch-y?" I smile, calling him by his nickname that he had when we lived in the village.

He cracks a smile. Success! "Alright, Sky Pie."

"Oh, so now it's Nickname Day?" I joke.

He lets out a laugh. "Buds?" I extend my hand.

He hesitates, then takes it. "Buds."

I let out a sigh of relief. "Phew. I was worried Mitch-y would hate me forever!"

Mitch laughs. "I could never hate Sky-Pie forever!"

We walk back to the others, and I couldn't be happier. I was afraid I had lost a friend, but it turns out that I didn't.
