Trapped (Unfinished)

4- POV Scott

"Thanks ya'll!" I yell to the crowd, walking off the stage. Turning to the rest of Pentatonix, I say, "That was an amazing first show!"

"I know," replies Kevin. "That crowd was so energetic!"

"Time to celebrate!" Kirstie yells. We all laugh and start running. I feel like a kid with all this energy rushing through me.

All of a sudden, Mitch turns to me and says, "Scottish, I have something to show you. Ya'll can go ahead." He tells the rest of the group. Mitch grabs my arm and pulls me into our dressing room, shutting the door behind me.

He looks into my eyes and grabs my hand. Time slows down as we look at each other and start to lean in. The second before our lips touch I hear someone behind me say:

"We will be arriving in Oakland, California in approximately twenty minutes."

The pilot's announcement wakes me up. "Please wear your seat belts at all times and turn off all electronic devices as the plane begins to descend." 

I slowly open my eyes aware if what just happened in my dream. I yawn and stretch out, looking over to see Mitch, who has been on tumblr the whole flight. He looks up at me and smiles.

"Well, someone got her beauty sleep," he laughs, turning off his phone.

I laugh nervously, thinking about my dream. Now I feel self conscious. I feel as though Mitch could've seen my dream, even though I know that's not possible. I mean, it was just a dream, right?

I decide to ignore it because I have had weirder dreams. I once had this dream where each member of Pentatonix was a different animal (Kirstie a rabbit, Mitch a sphynx cat, Kevin a golden retriever, Avi a lion, and I was a fly) and we performed in front of an audience of peacocks. Anyway, I decide I'll ignore my dream; I'm already in a relationship and Mitch is my best friend.

As I step out into the Oakland airport, I immediately pull out my phone.

Scott: hey babe!

Alex: hey, how was your flight?

Scott: i just slept😴

Alex: cute, have fun @ your performance 2nite!😘

I smile. Alex is always so happy for me and Pentatonix and he's literally our #1 fan. I'm so grateful that he's not like, competing for my attention or anything like that.

Outside the airport awaits a few taxis, waiting to take us to the tour bus. We all pack into the taxis; Avi, Mitch, Kevin, Kirstie, and I in one, and Esther and the rest of the crew in the others.

Once we start driving, Kirstie, Mitch and I start comparing pictures of Wyatt and Olaf. Avi and KO start talking about all the foods on their list to eat throughout the tour. We go on like this for a good ten minutes or so before a disturbance.

Avi yells, "CHICKEN!" That's our que.

Kevin starts, "If I had some chicken, I would take that chicken, Oh."

We all join in: "If I had some noodles..."

We continue on, singing the chicken song (most likely creeping out the taxi driver) until we get to the tour bus, where we all fall asleep. I dream about Alex tonight.
