Fall Tour in New York (Pentatonix Story)

Chapter 4 - 3AM

(A/N:  Sorry for the very long wait in getting this new chapter out to you all... I had a bit of writer's block for some reason.  I now wonder why I wrote this right before I go to sleep, lol! You'll see what I mean when you are finished with this chapter! Hope you enjoy! As always, thank you for your reads, your comments, your votes!)

The group arrived back home after they finished their meal and dropped Peter back home.  They were all sitting around the living room talking about everything that happened.  Kirstie was still surprised that it all went down, “I can’t believe that some girl would just walk up to me and pull my hair.”

“How’s your head, sweetie,” Avi asked rubbing his fingers on Kirstie’s head.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Kirstie said with a smile towards him.

“Maybe you should carry mace on you,” Mitch said from across the room.

“Yea, that’s not a bad idea,” Kirstie said with a nod.

“Let’s change the subject and talk about the show that’s in a couple of days,” Kevin said trying to make the mood lighter.

“Not tonight, Kev,” Kirstie said standing up and yawning, “I’m so tired right now.”

“First thing in the morning, then, at breakfast,” Kevin said looking around the room for answers. 

Everyone gradually agreed and started slowly getting up and moving towards their rooms. 

Avi and Kirstie headed towards her room and shut the door behind them.  Avi grabbed Kirstie’s hand and she turned around and he pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her and said, “I’m glad you are okay, I hate to think that someone hurt you tonight and I wasn’t there to stop it.”

“But you did stop it, the girls stopped as soon as they saw y’all,” Kirstie said with a smile and then added, “And I have never been so happy to see your face in my life.”

“Next time, I’m waiting outside the door,” Avi said.

“No, I’ll be fine, I can’t be afraid of going to a public bathroom,” Kirstie replied.  Kirstie slowly pulled away and walked over to her suitcase that was on the bed and looked through her sleepwear options.  After a few minutes, she decided on gray pajama bottoms and a pink t-shirt.  She looked over at Avi and said, “I’m going to get ready for bed, see you in a few.”  She headed into the bathroom and shut the door behind her and locked it.  As soon as she was alone, she ran the water in the sink and sat on the edge of the bathtub and placed her hands on her face and cried.  She finally felt that she could let it out and she didn’t have to hold it in and be brave.  She cried her anger as well as her fear out.  She was not going to be afraid of some little girl.  The girl who attacked her had the upper hand because she caught Kirstie off guard.  How was she going to say hello to her fans not knowing if Becki would be in the crowd or not?  She made a mental note to contact the restaurant to see if they had a photo that she could have so that the security team could make sure that they would not enter the show. After a few more minutes of pulling herself together, she washed her face, brushed her teeth, and combed her hair.  She changed into her pajamas and headed back into the bedroom where Avi was resting on the bed with his phone in hand.  She came over and crawled into bed and leaned against Avi’s arm and said, “What are you doing?”

“Just checking twitter and emails,” Avi said leaning over and kissing Kirstie’s forehead. 

“You okay?” Avi asked giving Kirstie a loving look.

Kirstie nodded and leaned back onto her pillow.  She looked at Avi and said, “Good night, honey.  Love you.”

Avi placed his phone on his nightstand and leaned over and kissed Kirstie and said, “Good night, baby.  Love you more.”
