Matt: Hey Kirstie
Kirstie: Hi
Matt: I've been wondering about something I saw
Kirstie: What did you see?
Matt: The Trisha Payta's thing
Kirstie: Ohh, that
Matt: I was kinda wondering if you could shed some light on it?
Kirstie: I don't know
Matt: Please Kirstie, Scott and Mitch didn't want to talk about it and I'd rather ask you than Kevin since they're best friends and all
Kirstie: Nice to know I'm third choice
Matt: Sorry, I just thought Scott and Mitch would be more likely to explain
Kirstie: Why does it need to be explained?
Matt: Because until this I looked up to him, I just need to know if it's true or not. Is he everything she says he or is she a liar?
Kirstie: A bit of both. She went overboard, but there's a little bit of truth there
Matt: Only a little, so is he still someone to look up to or not?
Kirstie: Vocally yes, especially in your case. But I think he has maybe gone off the deep end
Matt: Would you mind explaining that?
Kirstie: Well you're a member of the group, I guess you should know.
Kirstie: He had a couple of problems. He liked girls a lot and he got into weed, but not to the extent she said, at least not while he was in the group. But I don't know now, that worries me.
Matt: But you said there was only a little truth
Kirstie: I also said as far as I know. I haven't been in contact with him since he left. None of us have
Matt: But his personality's not faked right?
Kirstie: What he portrays is him, but he hides a hell of a lot more
Matt: So are you saying he's faking or not?
Kirstie: He is a nice guy, a good person, but he's struggling. He's never coped well with tour life and now I don't think he's coping without it, if that makes sense. I'm worried for him.
Matt: So he's changed?
Kirstie: You could say that. But I don't think he's as far changed or as far gone as Trisha said. He doesn't use people and he wouldn't hurt anyone. He always said his biggest fear was not finding his true love, I think he's gone over the edge looking for that true love.
Matt: That's pretty deep
Kirstie: Tell me about it
Matt: I thought he was in a relationship though?
Kirstie: So did I, but maybe they broke up. And maybe that's broken him, like tipped him over the edge. I believe that it's possible that he's got a sex addiction and maybe he smokes a bit much weed. I'm not going to speak for the STI but she's lying about the using her part, Avi is far too generous for that.
Matt: But what if he's changed?
Kirstie: People change, but not that much. He just needs a little help, maybe this will be the kick in the ass he needed
Matt: If he's upset and lashing out because of the break-up then maybe he's just needs someone to talk to, to vent?
Kirstie: That could be exactly what he needs, but he has to be the one to reach out to people because then they know he actually wants help
Matt: Unless he's too scared

Kirstie places her phone down; she's thought this over a million times, what Trisha said, all the half-truths and over exaggerations. Kirstie knew Avi better than that blonde bimbo, but she never considered the scared aspect. That what if he knows what he's doing, and knows it needs to stop, but is too scared to ask for help because he himself didn't like what he's become. At least that is where her mind is racing currently after the conversation with Matt.
     What if no one else is thinking along these lines, what if no one thought to reach out to him because they're waiting for him to reach out first?
     Kirstie decides to send a message that doesn't need a reply unless he does want to reach out to her.

Kirstie: If you ever need to talk, I'm here.

Realising the time she goes about her nightly routine, sorting out Olaf and Pascal, getting ready for bed and making sure everything is locked up. That last one is so very important now that she lives alone.
     She puts her phone on her bedside table as she gets into bed. It lights up, and she assumes it'll be Matt wondering why she hasn't replied. But it isn't.

Avi: Thank you

And that's when she's sure he's scared out of his mind.
