Avi Kaplan.
He looks different. A good different.
He seems way more happy than before.
"Glad to see you again, Scott" the bearded man smiled, embracing the tall man while patting his back.
Scott hugs back tightly. "God! I missed you, Avriel"
He chuckles, looking straight up into Scott's eyes. "Never been better, Hoying" he winked.
Scott chuckles at the act.
Avi proceeded to 'bro-hug' Ben then escorted the two inside the house.
Scott and Ben sat down on the couch as Avi went to the kitchen to get some coffee for the guests.
"So what brings you two here?" He asked showing of his natural deep voice.
Some things never changed.
"We're here for Esther. Is she here?" Ben asked.
"No. She'll be back in a few minutes though." Avi stated while putting down the mugs on the coffee table.
Scott mesmerize Avi in awe, memorizing the newest details of the bearded man. He's happy to see the bass cannon in a wonderful state of mind.
"I was actually baby sitting Little Rose while she's away so ya'll can wait here."
As if on cue, Esther walks in the front door, receiving a few glances. She smirked.
"I didn't know there was a little reunion going on here." She laughs, putting down the grocery bags.
Esther went to Scott immediately, kneels down then hugs him tightly. "How are you, Scotty?" She asked with a hint of motherly tone in her voice.
Scott rolled his eyes playfully "I'm okay, mom."
She pulls away then smacked his arm. Scott winces at the pain.
"Don't ever scare me like that! I haven't seen you in a year, you noodle."
Avi laughs, clapping his hands in delight. "I can't believe that nickname stays the same throughout the years."
Ben chuckles, placing his hand on Esther's shoulder. "He accepted it" nodding towards Scott.
Her eyes widened, eyeing Scott. He nodded slowly with a small smile creeping on his lips. She covers her mouth with her hands as tears watered in her eyes. She embraces the blond one more time.
"Thank you." She breathed out.
Scott nodded rapidly while hugging the woman more tightly.
"T-thank you so much. Ben and I have been ... planning on this since the accident happened. We just made sure that you guys are mentally and ... physically okay ... And i'm just so happy that you've accepted it" She stated while silently crying.
Scott hugs her again. "I'm sorry that I took so long to recover."
He pulls away and held both of hwr hands. "I promise, this will work ... For Matt."
Her eyes widened, she stands up immediately, takes off her glasses as she heard the name. "Oh my God. I-I don't want to b-break down".
Too late.
Avi was there in a flash, embracing his sister as she held him tightly and cried. "Everything's going to be alright, Es"
Both Scott and Ben are silently weeping at the thought of the memory.
"Mommy?" A sweet voice came from the stairs.
Esther sniffed, putting on her glasses. She excuses herself from the boys then went straight to Little Rose.
Ben excuses himself too to take a phone call.
Scott wiped off his tears then looked at Avi.
"How are you, Avi?" Scott smiled creepily.
Avi chuckles as he looks at Scott. "I know what you're trying to do."
Scott's eyes widened. "What do you think am I trying to do?"
"You're trying to convince me to be the bass of Pentatonix again." He took a sip on his tea.
"Y-you're not wrong. It'll be grea–"
"But my answer is still no"
Scott looked down on his lap, dissapointed at his answer. Avi sighed, he went to sit by Scott and placed his hand on his thigh.
"Think of this Scott, I left ptx a few years ago. The fact that you made me come back for your last show is kind of disturbing if I'm a fan. They'll say 'I should've left yada yada. Ya know?"
"But this is Matt we're talking about. This show is dedicated to Matt only. Think about that, Avi." Scott stated.
Avi just stared at him.
"It'll mean so much to him if you sang knowing that it's for him."
Matt Sallee.
Surprisingly, he's the guy who once was a fan of mine and then fills up my place.
Another reason why Pentatonix received three more grammys.
Living his life to keep the group moving forward.
Loving everyone with his pure innocent energy.
Engraving his gift for the pentaholics.
Especially, in order to keep me in a safe, healthy, and happy place.
"I'll think about it."
