Triphilia - together forever | one-shots

Away |4|

"Are you kidding me? This is just Scott? Why did you do that?” Mitch hissed at his fiancé. “Do you want Avi to think that you're the almighty good guy and I'm the bad fiancé who doesn't want anything to do with him?”

“Mitch, I... That's not true. You were gone. You decided to go for a walk, go for a cup of coffee without me, so I decided to reply myself first thing after getting up” Scott replied, his voice aggravated. “It is not my fault that you forgot think about texting him.”

“But last time we texted him together as well” Mitch argued. “So why did you tell him that it was only you texting?”

“What if I told him that it were your words as well?” Scott asked. “With your mood swings at the moment I cannot be sure that you would have agreed with what I texted him. Who knows, perhaps you would have been angry with me for texting him in your name.”

Mitch scoffed. “Yeah right, I am probably such a nuisance to you.”

Scott sighed. He really didn't want to fight with Mitch. But he was on edge. Waking up in the morning and finding the bed empty hadn't been a good feeling. Mitch had left him a text saying that he just went out for a walk, but still, the initial feeling had been uneasy.

Not knowing what else to do, he decided to just text Avi his unfiltered thoughts. Why he did it in his own name only, he didn't really know.

"You are not a nuisance, Mitch. You're my fiancé. I love you. But you are not making things easy for me right now" Scott said, trying his best to stay calm.

"Yeah and you are perfect..." Mitch shook his head. "You said last night that we would text him together. Why didn't you wait for me? No you had to go and do your own thing.”

“Because you weren't there. Honestly, there is nothing holding you back from just texting him on your own as well. Just do it. Pick up phone and text him. Where is the fcking problem” Scott argued.

“Yeah right of course I could do
that. Hello this is Mitch I just want to let you know that I'm there for you as well and bla bla bla. How does that sound?” Mitch paused for a moment and snorted. “It sounds as if I had forgotten about him and it's all your fault. Urgh, I can't deal with you right now.”

Scott shook his head. “See that's exactly what I mean. Do you even listen to yourself? Your words are hurting me right now. This is not about us. This is about Avi. And if you love him, you will text him. Think about it. And if you manage to calm down, I'll be in the studio.” he got up from his chair, took his coffee and vanished to the basement.

He went into their little home studio and sat down on the comfortable sofa. Avi had set up the studio years ago, because he wanted to have the opportunity to work on music at home as well. And man did they work on music. He remembered all the late nights thet spent in there just wanted to finish a song, the times when he literally had to pull Avi out of the room and bring him to bed when he wouldn't working, because it was so into it.

These times seemed to be so far away. Avi had only been gone for one night, but it changed everything.

Scott sighed. Never before in his life had he felt so alone.

He missed Avi.

And he missed Mitch.

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining through the trees, the air was clear, the nature beautiful as always.

Avi was happy. Or wasn't he?

He walked through the forest, took some pictures of himself and even more pictures of nature. It would have been a perfect day if not for the pressing feeling that there was something missing.

He thought about his life a lot especially about the past years and how they had changed him. He had always thought that they had changed him for better when apparently he changed for worse. At least that's what everyone was apparently trying to tell him. And while he tried to silence these voices by deleting the social media apps from his phone, they were still in his head. So he tried to push all these thoughts away by focusing just on the nature surrounding him.

Around noon he took a break and had some good food at one of the restaurants the receptionist had recommended him. When he sat outside in the sun, he decided to check his messages once more. Mitch had texted him. In private.

“How could you do that to us? Why did you leave us just like that without saying anything?
I tried my very best to understand you, but guess what? I don't.
I'm disappointed. I thought that we could talk about everything and that we could work through everything. But apparently we can't. Apparently there are things you cannot talk about with us. And hurts to know that we are not enough for you.
I hope you are safe and considering to come back home. Because I still miss you.”

Avi sighed. He didn't expect such a message, but maybe he had it coming. After all he did leave without the saying anything. Scott and Mitch had every right to be angry with him, he suddenly realised.

He felt ashamed. Why did he leave why didn't he talk to them? Was it too late to go back home? even though they had both said that he was still welcome, Avi wasn't sure. What if they didn't want him home anymore?

He felt like he was drowning in these dark thoughts and didn't know what to do, but...

She would know.

He dialled the number he had known forever and hoped for good reception.

"Avriel?"

"Mama? I need your help..."
