Through It All(PTX)

6-Scott vs. Avi

Avi POV

After the meeting we were ushered back into the tour bus. "Avi! What the hell were you thinking?" Our manager, Trish, yelled at me.
"We don't need any more rumors going around, okay?! I already have enough to deal with. I don't know what's going on between you and Scott but I'm not going to be the one to settle it. Care to explain?" She said angrily.

"Scott made out with my girlfriend!" Scott paled but stood up.
"I did not!" He yelled.
"You did too, didn't he Brinley?" I turned towards Brinley who remained silent on the couch. "See!" I gestured towards Brin.
"You know what, Avi! If she loved you she wouldn't have come to me!"
"And you think it's okay to kiss my girlfriend? We're supposed to be friends!" Scott moved closer towards me. The rest of the band stood around us in shock.

"I'm tired of your games to get attention. Not everything is about you, Avi!"
"What games? I've been trying to avoid you all along you girlfriend-stealing asshole!!!" Scott tensed at my response and he tried to push me to the ground. I ended up banging my arm on a cabinet on my way down. I squinted my eyes to avoid crying tears of pain. The blood was going through my sweatshirt. I clutched my arm as I sank completely to the ground. Kirstie rushed to my side.

"Guys stop. You can't keep behaving like children. Respect each other, my god." Trisha said before moving to the other section of the bus.
"Come on Avi, Mitch and I will help you get cleaned up." Kirstie led me to the bathroom and Mitch followed. He pulled up my sleeve and stared at me in shock. Shit... I completely forgot about my cuts.
"Umm Avi..." I stayed silent.
"Ohmygod." Kirstie whispered as she stared at me in shock.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Mitch asked.
"You never asked..." I don't want to explain to them my reasons. It would just burden them anyways.
"You can't do this to yourself!" Kirstie pressed a towel to my arm and I winced.
"I promised Kevin that I'd stop, don't worry." I breathed, desperately trying to avoid this conversation.
"Okay but we'll be watching you." Mitch warned and I nodded.

We drove a short distance to the first venue. Since there was now a large gash in my arm I had it wrapped under a long sleeved-shirt. Let's just say I'm staying away from Scott for awhile. And Brinley for that matter.

I sat on the floor in the bathroom. I can't mess up this performance, I've screwed up every single one this past month. Maybe I'm just not good enough to perform anymore. After hair and makeup we went through sound check where I couldn't sing on key for my life. Scott's glares practically burned holes in the back of my head.

"God Avi, you can't even sing anymore!" He said. How much lower can he get? I didn't even do anything to him.
"Scott leave him alone!" Kevin defended me and placed a hand on my back. "Are you feeling okay?" He whispered to me.
"No but I told myself I'd perform today. I'll be fine." I said quietly and Kevin gave a small nod. Seems like it's everyone against Scott. I hope Brinley will just change her mind and break up with me already. Her presence makes me feel pain.

***skip to right after intermission***

"So typically we answer some fan questions at this point. This first one is for Avi and it's from Sarah from California. It says 'Avi, do you really love Brinley? If so prove it.'" Scott said with a snarl and tapped his foot impatiently.

"Brinley and I are very much in love and we are stronger than ever. Ummm I don't really know how to prove it..." I lied directly through my teeth. The fans probably don't know a single true thing about me.

They started chanting "Bring her out!" so I basically had no other choice than to go backstage. Brinley was sitting in the dressing room. She hated hearing me sing. "C'mon you are needed by the fans." She frowned but followed me back on stage.

I grabbed her hand in disgust. "As most of you know this is my girlfriend, Brinley. We've been together for a few months know and we are very happy." I quickly kissed her, trying to disguise my hatred towards her. "I love you Brin."
"I love you too Scott." This time she was the one to clasp her hand over her mouth. The audience gasped.

A/N: I've been receiving a lot of positive feedback lately. I love you guys ::::)
