Stay

Chapter 13

Avi’s Point of View

It has been 2 weeks and Kirstie was still having her bad dreams. I’ve never mentioned it to her but I think I may have to. I’m just so worried.

I put down my coffee and went upstairs to hear a shower going. Either it is Kevin or Scott.

I opened the door to Kirstie’s room to see her making her bed.

“Hey Babe!” She greeted, smiling her famous half smile.

“Babe?” I laughed. She came over and gave me a hug and kiss. “How’d you sleep?” I asked, knowing the answer.

“Good, you?” she lied, losing eye contact, going back to fix her bed.

“Not bad, you wanna go out today?” I said, changing the subject.

“Sure! Where do you want to go?” She asked, looking up again.\

“I was thinking a movie at the theater down the street,” I said, making my way to the other side of the bed, wrapping my arms around her waist.

She smiled and gave me a peck on the lips. “Can I get candy?” She asked, biting her lip.

“I don’t know… you haven’t been a good girl this week…” I whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her arms. I loved how I could make her do that.

“Can I make it up to you?” She whispered back, looking at my lips.

“Perhaps….” I let go of her and left the room, leaving her with a sad look on her face. “Love you!” I called as I shut the door behind me.

Kirstie’s Point of View

I hate it when he does that!! He gets me all hot then just leaves!

I hope Avi doesn’t find out about my dreams. I’ve been having them since we got here.

The night I nailed him in the face was because I was sleep walking. I’ve been trying to think happy thoughts but it doesn’t work. I’m just glad he didn’t notice me lying to him….God I hate lying to him….

I heard a knock at the door.

“Come in! It’s unlocked!”

It opened to show Mitch in tears.

“Oh my gosh! Mitch, baby what happened!?” I called, rushing over to console him.

“Sc-scott he….” Rage just filled me to the brim. What the hell did he do to our mama?!

“What did he do?” I asked, wiping the tears from his cheeks.

“He told me that…that Wyatt….” He blubbered. My heart fell to my stomach. Did he die? Is he missing? “He told me Wyatt reminds him of Alicia Keys!!!!” He cried. My face fell and I looked at him with an annoyed look.

“Mitch, go back to bed…” I looked at him and just noticed he is doing his drunk sensitive crap.

He blubbered a few more times before leaving my room.

Right when he left, Avi was standing behind him.

“I see he has been drinking again…” he smirked.

“Yeah….” I sighed, wiping sleep from my eyes.

“So I was thinking about going to an 11:00 AM show.”

“11:00?! That means I only have… 2 Hours to get ready!” I stated.

“Oh Heaven Forbid!!” He laughed. I looked at him before laughing along.

“I’ll be down at 10:45…” I said.

“Okay see ya then!” He gave me a kiss and left my room again.

That guy….how can I live without him?
