Chapter 14

When Mitch woke up the next morning, he felt well rested and more or less ready to tackle the upcoming shopping spree with his mother. While he usually loved shopping, he dreaded it this time. 

He groaned and turned around, taking his phone to read through his notifications, smiling when he saw a message from Avi:

"Hey, Love. You fell asleep pretty quick after all. I'm glad that I was able to help you. Say 'hi' to your parents from us. We love you, Dear. Good night or rather good morning."

The brunette quickly typed in a reply before he deleted the other notifications and got up to take a quick shower. Afterwards he went into the kitchen where his parents were already having breakfast.

"Good morning" he greeted them and sat down at the table that was already set for him. 

"Good morning, Mitch" his father greeted him.

"How are you?" Nel asked.

Mitch noticed immediately that their voices were very soft and careful. Even with the upcoming funeral and everything, it seemed to be weird. "What... what happened?"

"You didn't see it?" Mike asked. 

"What exactly?" Mitch wanted to know, his voice sounded alarmed.

Mike grabbed his iPad. "There are... pictures from last night... from your boyfriends."

Mitch shrugged his shoulders. "I figured as much. They look cute, don't they?" He smiled at his parents, but furrowed his brows when he saw the serious expression on their faces. "What else?"

"There are also articles..." Mike said. "That's how most of them are like."

That was enough for Mitch to take the tablet which his Dad was holding out for him. He scrolled and gasped when he saw the headline:

"What game are you playing, Avi Kaplan?

Only last week we have reported about the cutesy images of Avi Kaplan and Mitch Grassi of Pentatonix showing us their sweet love out at the seaside and at a party. Even though the couple did not want to comment on their blossoming relationship, the pictures clearly spoke the language of love.

Today we see a different picture of Avi, quite literally. This time the singer is seen with yet another of his bandmates at a charity event in New York. These pictures also speak a clear language. We see the two hotties holding hands on the red carpet and during the gala and then we get another glimpse when they are having a private moment away from the hustle."

Mitch smiled slightly when he saw the pictures, one of them on the red carpet, one which seemed to be a screenshot from the gala and then another one which showed them hugging in a secluded corner. Apparently this picture was taken without them knowing, Mitch saw just how intimate this moment was and it filled him with warmth. He lost himself in the picture for a moment, before he read on.

"And even though we all are awing and ohing at these sweet pictures, we are wondering just what kind of game is Avi playing and with whom? 

And more important: Where is Mitch? The answer to this is as simple as it is tragic. We knew from a secret source that a his grandmother passed away and he is apparently with his family, mourning the loss. 

And while we cannot know what is going on inside the three boys' minds, we just hope that whatever is going on won't hurt any of them."

"Wow..." Mitch sighed softly. "It's awful."

Mike scoffed. "That's not even the worst one.

"No?" Mitch asked furrowing his brows.

"Unfortunately not" Mike replied and quickly opened another article on his iPad. "I'm sorry..."
