Pentatonix... Touring and Finding Love

Chapter Six

Avi and Kirstie walked off the tour bus hand in hand and walked towards the group.  Avi was so happy and couldn’t wait for their date that evening.  He walked Kirstie over to where Kevin, Scott, and Mitch were standing. 

“Let’s get in line for the big hill,” Mitch said excitedly.

“I don’t know, it seems a little bit steep,” Kevin said.

“You can do it, we will all go together!” Mitch said as he grabbed Kevin’s arm and walked towards the line.  He turned to make sure that everyone was following him. 

Avi and Kirstie walked after them and Scott followed behind.  Kirstie turned her head slightly and looked back at Scott.  He had his hands in his pockets and he was looking at the ground.  She turned back around and sighed.  She really would like to know what was bothering Scott.  He was acting so unlike himself.  They waiting in line for about twenty minutes and finally starting climbing the hill.  It was a lot higher than they thought and they had to convince Kevin to go down.  By this time, Scott was out of his funk and laughing pulling Kevin onto one of the huge neon green inflatable tubes.  Scott jumped on his and flew down the hill with Kevin following him and then Mitch.  Avi asked Kirstie if she wanted to share one and she said, “I don’t think we will both fit.”

“It’ll be fine.  Here, sit here,” Avi said as he sat in one and pointed to his lap.  Kirstie sat down and Avi wrapped one of his arms around Kirstie’s waist and hung onto the tube with the other.  Kristie kind of liked being all wrapped up in Avi and soon enough they were flying down the hill.  They got to the bottom and tumbled out near where the others were getting up. 

“Let’s do this again!” Kevin shouted.

“Now, you like it?” Mitch asked teasingly.

“Come on, let’s go Avi and Kirstie.” Kevin said.

“I might pass on this one, guys.  I think I’m going to go get something to drink.” Kirstie said.

“You want help?” Scott said stepping towards Kirstie before Avi could say anything.  He then stepped back realizing what he did. 

“I can help her if she needs it.” Avi said under his breath. 

Kirstie feeling awkwardly, said, “That’s okay boys, I’ve got it.” She slowly walked away and headed towards the concessions.

Mitch followed Kirstie and turned back, “Y’all go this time.  I’m going to go get some coffee.”

Scott turned back around towards Avi and said, “Sorry, I was just trying to be nice.”

“I get it.  You don’t want me to date Kirstie, do you?” Avi asked.

“That’s not it.”

“Then, what is it?”

“I am protective over her; I don’t want to see her get hurt.  I don’t want anything to happen to us.  We are so strong right now.  I think that you are one of the greatest guys I know and I am happy for you two.  Honest.” Scott said sincerely.  

“Scott, I respect that you are protective over her.  I’m not going to hurt her.  I really like her.” Avi said.

“I know.”

“Kirstie, wait up,” Mitch called to her.

She smiled and turned, “Hey you.”

“Hey you,” Mitch said back looping his arm around hers.   

“So, that was a little awkward.” Kirstie said with a smile.

“Just a little,” laughed Mitch.
