Trapped (Unfinished)

20- POV Scott

Kirstie slips out, past the curtain of Avi's bunk, and reaches in, to help him up. Avi wraps an arm around her shoulders, probably to balance on his leg, but we all know the real reason.

They walk into the room and sit down together on the couch next to me. Kirstie helps get Avi's leg settled and then leans back and smiles at the rest of us.

Kevin sends a pointed look at me and Mitch smirks, although he doesn't make eye contact with me.

When they told me what they saw last night, I totally didn't believe them, even if I do ship Kavi. I was joking when I called them 'lovebirds' and yet, here they are right in front of me. Two of my best friends are now dating and they look so cute together.

"Sooo..." Mitch breaks the silence, looking at Avi and Kirstie expectedly.

Kirstie giggles and looks at Avi, her cheeks turning pink.

"So... I am now in a relationship with a very cute girl," Avi says. He looks proud but then his brows furrow. "This isn't wierd for ya'll, is it?"

Kevin, Mitch and I all look at each other and shake our heads, grinnin from ear to ear. Esther walks into the room, nodding.

"It's wierd for me, little brother," She says. We all laugh.

After a long day if awkward silences between Mitch and I, I notice Kirstie pull Mitch aside. Obviously to interrogate him about our wierd behavior.

There's a very good reason why I have barely talked all day. My best friend just told me he loves me and I have a boyfriend back at home.

I sigh, sitting up in my bed as I hear a knock outside the curtain. I pull open the curtain to Kirstie standing face to face with me with her arms crossed.

"We need to talk, you have some shit you need to figure out."

I nod and sigh, scooting over on the bed to make room for her.

"So," She starts, climbing next to me.

"So," I respond, I have no idea what to tell her.

"Do you like Mitch?"

"I mean, of course I do! But like, as a best friend. Right?" I remember my dream earlier this tour. Maybe it was foreshadowing.

She shrugs, "It's your life, don't ask me!"

"I don't know, but I mean Alex is cool too. We've been dating for like a couple years now, I don't remember exactly how long."

Kirstie laughs, "Boy, how do you not know how long you've been dating? Don't you ever celebrate your anniversary?"

I shrug and shake my head.

"Even Mitch knows your anniversary," She says.

"Wait- Why does Mitch know how long I've been in a relationship?" I ask. It doesn't make any sense. It's not even Mitch's relationship.

"He told you he loves you. When was the last time you texted Alex?"

I sigh and stare down at my hands. "I dunno, like a week ago?"

"So he doesn't even know we're stuck in a blizzard?"

I look up at her, "He's seen the news and heard that we cancelled our shows."

I can see how that would be kinda important to text him though.

"I understand you don't want to hurt either of them, but you can't leave Mitch waiting for an answer. You are Mitch's life and I don't know what he would do if you keep ignoring him." Kirstie opens the curtain to leave. "I would recommend you have an answer for Mitch by the time the storm ends, in around two days."

She leaves me sitting in my bunk, and I turn to look at the pictures of Mitch and I hanging on the wall.

I have no idea if I love Mitch. And now I also have no idea how much I really love Alex. Am I really supposed to pay attention to how long we've been dating, and text him all the time?

I don't know how to talk to Mitch or how to deal with this. I am stuck in this stupid tour bus.

I just feel so trapped.
