7. Opening Night at Oakland

A.N. The photo here is from the Oakland show (I think) on their OMWH tour. Look at how happy Scott looks :') <3

SCOTT'S POV

We just finished our show at Oakland, and it was an even greater success than expected. During the show, after Avi told the story of how Pentatonix formed, he gave me a hug and I couldn't stop smiling during the rest of the show.

As we walked backstage for the after show party, Kirstie popped open the champagne bottle and squealed. The entire band and crew cheered. I poured champagne into glasses and handed one each to Mitch, Kirstie, Kevin and Avi. We clinked our glasses together and smiled at each other with pride.

"Cheers to everyone here" Avi spoke in a British accent.

I couldn't but help smile at him. Lately I've been noticing the smallest details about Avi. The way he strokes his beard and rolls his eyes up when he's deep in thought, his adorable laugh, his sparkling green eyes... When we sang Let's Get It On, the chair girl wasn't the only one staring at his hips.

"Daddy, pay attention to me", Mitch whined.

Mitch and I proceeded to drink several glasses of champagne that night. As I was dancing with Mitch and Genevieve, I noticed we were the only ones there. I pouted when I couldn't spot Avi, missing his presence. I suddenly felt dizzy from all the champagne and took a seat to steady myself.

"Scotty, dance with us" Mitch looked at me over Genevieve's shoulder.

Mitch and Genevieve looked like they were slow dancing, with Mitch's arms around Genevieve's waist. I smiled at him and took a few deep breaths before pulling out my phone. I scrolled through Instagram and found some pictures of Alex. I scrolled through his photos, finding some of both of us when we were together. We looked so happy to be around each other. After looking at them for a few seconds, I reluctantly pressed "unfollow" on Alex's profile. I stood up and poured myself a shot. A few minutes later, I lost count of how many shots I had. The rest of the night was a complete blur.

AVI'S POV

As I was typing out an A Capella Academy email to Ben, I heard heavy footsteps outside my bunk. Suddenly, the curtain around my bunk was unceremoniously yanked open.

"Oi! What the-"

"Aaaaavi" Scott giggled, plonking down on my bunk with such force that my laptop fell out of my lap.

"You're completely wasted, Scott. What are you doing?" I crossed my arms around my chest, suddenly self-conscious that I was wearing nothing but boxers.

"I-I was lookin' f-for you. You felt", Scott slurred, his eyes unfocused.

"Felt?" I repeated back, half annoyed, and half amused. "What are you talking about?"

"Huh? What- D-Dancing. You d-didn't with me" Scott pouted, before proceeding to grip my jaw, his face inches away from mine.

I felt his warm breath on my face. His lips were parted, and he closed his eyes before leaning in.

"Scott, what the hell are you doing?" I whisper yelled, yanking his hand off my jaw.

"Kiss m-" Scott started, before running to the bathroom.

I followed him, not wanting to leave him alone in his drunken state. I've never seen Scott this wasted before. I stood outside the bathroom and flinched is disgust when I heard him throw up. I waited for him to finish, and entered the bathroom after I heard the flush. Scott was swaying on his feet when he stood up. He weakly met my eyes with his, and in a flash of a second his head slumped to the side, and his eyes rolled back in his head.

"Scott!" I managed to wrap my arm around his shoulders, breaking his fall. Since he weighed at least 40 pounds more than me, I could barely hold him up. I gently laid him flat on the floor, unbuttoning the top two buttons on his shirt so his airway was unrestricted.

"Scotty, I need you to wake up" I shook his shoulder, waiting for a response. He lay still as a rock. I shook his shoulders more vigorously, finally getting a response from him. His breath hitched and he whimpered weakly, his lids fluttering.

"Scott? Scott? Look at me" I instructed, shaking his shoulders. He looked around weakly, eyes rolling back in his head again, failing to focus on my face.

"Shit" I muttered, feeling slightly panicked.

"Kevin! Kevin!" I yelled as loudly as I could. Kevin's bunk is closest to the bathroom, so hopefully he'd hear me.

Thankfully, Kevin appeared outside the bathroom after a few seconds.

"Oh my goodness, what happened to him?" Kevin looked at Scott's passed out form with wide eyes.

"He drank too much" I sighed, stroking Scott's arm.

"How long has he been unconscious?"

"Around 2 minutes. I managed to wake him up for a few seconds, but he passed out again."

"It isn't like him to drink this much. He never loses control like this" Kevin sighed. "Let's take him to his bunk and monitor him while he sleeps it off".

Kevin lifted Scott off the floor, pulling him up from under his armpits. Scott's head lolled down when Kevin put Scott's arm around his shoulder. When Kevin nodded at me, I put Scott's other arm around my shoulder, and we actually had to drag him to his bunk. Scott's eyes fluttered open and closed as we struggled to get him to his bunk. When we finally managed to lay him down he regained consciousness briefly.

"A-Av-" he whimpered weakly, before his eyes closed. He rolled onto his side, snoring softly.

Kevin and I sat on his bunk keeping an eye on him. Kevin yawned after a few minutes.

"Kev, why don't you go to bed? I'll keep an eye on him and stay here for the night".

"You sure?"

I nodded in response.

"Make sure you're alert in case he throws up. If he pukes when he's passed out, he could choke on it, and that's very dangerous."

"Don't worry Kev, I've got it". I had experience taking care drunk friends thanks to college.

Once Kevin left the bunk, I removed Scott's shoes and clothing to make him more comfortable. When he was left in just his boxers, I put a blanket around him. After an hour or so of monitoring Scott to make sure he's okay, I fell asleep beside him. I didn't want to risk leaving him alone for the night in case he needed anything. My last thought before I drifted off was Scott attempting to kiss me. That was very unexpected, but then again I've never seen him this drunk...

A.N. Hey lovelies! I'm so sorry for taking 3 months to update. I've had big live changes recently including moving to a new city, and that has taken up a lot of time and energy. Please comment and push the little star at the bottom if you're still reading, it motivates me to keep writing for you ❤️
