Don't Leave Me

Chapter 5

***The Next Morning, 5:00am***

Scott and Mitch awoke to the sound of their alarm clock.
Scott turned over towards the clock and hit the button to make it stop.
He mumbled his low, tired voice,
"Mitchel...it's time to get up, bud." He said as he gently hit him with a pillow as he sat up on the side of the bed.
Mitch groaned and pulled the blanket over his face.
"C'mon Queen, we have a meeting with the guys."
Scott got up from the bed and went to the bathroom.
Mitch groaned again and violently pulled the blanket down away from his body with a huff. He got up and joined Scott in the bathroom as he brushed his teeth. He stood beside him, looking into the mirror that showed their reflection. Mitch leaned his weight against Scott, tiredly standing. He looked at Scott in the mirror.
"Why do we have to get up at five?" He yawned. "The meeting isn't until seven."
Scott leaned over the sink and spit, followed by him wiping his mouth off with a towel.
Because there's traffic. And if we left at six, we wouldn't have time to get Starbucks." He turned from their reflection and kissed Mitch on the forehead.
Scott went into their bedroom and got dressed, leaving Mitch in the bathroom, too tired to move at a fast pace. "Uggggh." He moaned. "I should just invent 'coffee2go.com'. Then I could get an extra hour of sleep." He hollered to Scott in the bedroom as he worked his way there. He sat on the edge of the bed as he saw Scott put on his beanie, along with his red plaid Flawless shirt, and dark jeans. Scott laughed at the comment Mitch had made, sitting by him on the bed.
"You know, you should get dressed unless you're going to go into town like that. I don't want any other guys seeing you shirtless but me." He winked at him and kissed Mitch on the cheek. Mitch moaned and laid back on the bed.
"Can you just pick something out for me? I don't want to get up."
Scott chucked and got up from the bed, going to Mitch's side of the closet. He swiped hangers through.
"How aboooouut.... Blue plaid shirt?" He said looking over his shoulder back at Mitch.
"Nah.."
"Miley Cyrus, Bangerz shirt?
"No.."
Scott sighed, moving towards the back of his closet.
"Hmm... Red sweater?"
"Not feeling it.."
"Ughhh...Okay. How about the Surfboard shirt."
Mitch sat up. "Sure."
"Finally!" Said Scott as he took the shirt off the hanger and tossed the shirt to him on the bed.
Mitch laughed under his breath.
"I'm Queen. I have to always look my best." He said in a sophisticated voice.
Scott rolled his eyes and smiled. "Okay, stupid", he said jokingly, "hurry up and get dressed so we can get coffee." He said as he went into the living room.
"Okay, bastard." He said laughing under his breath.

***7:15***

Scott and Mitch make it to the studio, to find the pentatonix gang sitting in chairs in a circle with Jonathan. They all stare at them as they come in.
"Coming in a little late there, aren't we guys?" Said Jonathan as he stood up.
"Sorry," said Scott, taking a seat next to Kevin. "Mitch takes forever to get ready" he said chuckling.
Mitch placed his right hand on his chest with a gasp, his other hand holding his coffee from Starbucks. "That is NOT true!", he said with a smile. He took a seat by Kirstie.

As Jonathan continued to talk to the group about future plans, Kirstie leaned over and whispered in Mitch's ear.
"So is the plan still on?"
Mitch smiled and whispered back in her ear.
"Totally."

**25 minutes later in the studio**

"Wait wait wait..." said Kevin excitedly as he stopped Jonathan in the middle of his sentence, "We're going on a European Tour?!"

"That's what I'm saying, guys." Said Jonathan as he smiled.

The group all started clapping and hollering with excitement.

"Oh my goodness, this is awesome!" Said Avi on the edge of his seat.

"Where are we going first?!" Said Kirstie eagerly.
