Fall Tour in New York (Pentatonix Story)

Chapter 5 -

(A/N:  Well, it's been forever since I updated --- I know, I know. :)  But, thank you for the reads, comments, and votes!  This is a filler chapter, but I wanted to shed light on what went down at the house and who was behind it, it might suprise you how everyone is connected in the end. P.S. I couldn't think of a name for this chapter.)

“Girls, we did so good last night, did you see their faces?” Becki said with a satisfying grin sitting down on the chair in her bedroom as her two followers sat on her bed.  Jess and Lisa looked at one another and then back over to Becki who was eyeing them now.  Jess, the youngest of the friends, cleared her throat, and said, “Becki, I think we have done enough, don’t you.  We scared them pretty bad last night, we almost got caught too.”

“Jess, you aren’t getting scared now, are you?” Becki shot back at her.

Jess shook her head and stood up and said, “Okay, well, I need to get back home; my mom is going to freak out that I have been out all night when she sees that I am not in my room.”

Becki stood up, even though she was the smallest of the group, she was the scariest of them all; she was tough and strong, despite her small size.  Becki stood between the door and Jess and stared down Jess and said, “You aren’t going to run and tell mommy what we did, are you?  That would not be good.”

Jess shook her head and swallowed back her shaking voice and said, “Of course not, Becki, now let me go, I’ll catch up with you later.  You know, we still have school today.”

Becki looked down at her arm and saw that it was almost 7.  She walked over to her chair again and sighed and fell back into it saying, “I think I’ll pass today, I’m tired.”

Jess waved and said, “Okay, I’ll see you later.”  With that Lisa stood up and waved quietly and left too.  Becki watched the two girls leave and she closed her door and locked it and went to her bed and fell into it and was sleeping almost instantly. 

Outside, Lisa looked over at Jess as they walked back to their houses down the street and said, “I think we went too far too, I didn’t know that Becki was going to cut her hair.”

“What have we gotten ourselves into?  We are traumatizing our favorite group?  Why are we hanging out with Becki anyway?  She is turning into such a bully, she bullies us too, I’m so over this crap with her,” Jess said in a huff.

Lisa said, “You better not let Becki hear you talk like that, if you wanted out of the group so bad, why did you hold off those girls last night in the bathroom?”

“I was scared of what was going to happen, I was scared of getting caught, well, we sort of did get caught, we can’t go back to that restaurant, they even have our photo now,” Jess said.

Lisa agreed and said, “Yea, I think we went too far last night with the whole breaking into their house.”

“Should we come clean with them?  Maybe we can just tell Peter?” Jess said looking sideways at Lisa.

“No, we can’t.  Peter would kill me.  He has no idea I was at the restaurant and I didn’t know that he was going to be hanging out with them.  Do not tell my brother anything!” Lisa said sternly.  Lisa knew that Peter would be really disappointed in her if he ever knew that she was involved with disturbing Pentatonix’s stay here in New York in one of their family’s homes.

Back at the house with PTX…

Esther combed her hair after getting out of the shower and held back her tears.   She wiped the mirror with her hand and looked at her reflection and took a deep breath and pulled her hair back into a ponytail.  She was thankful that at least her hair was still long enough for that.  She threw on a ball cap and pulled the ponytail through the back loop and finished getting ready.  She headed out into her bedroom and started packing up her things.  Avi knocked at her door and she answered, “Come in.”
