The Missing Pieces

Talk It Out

*Kirstie's POV*

I walk to the bus, trying not to cry at what Mitch said.

He's never spoken that harshly to me...

I get inside and slam the door shut. Avi is sitting on the couch.

"Hey Kirst," He looks up at me. "Woah, what's up?"

"It's nothing I'm just having a bad day." I reply.

"Kirst I know you from top to bottom. Something's wrong. You're doing the face. The cry face."

I just start crying again. "Mitch got mad at me and...and I didn't even do anything! I was just trying to talk to him about why he's sad!"

Avi pulls me into a hug. He's like a boyf- brother...to me.

"What did he say?"

I tell him. Everything.

He stands up. "Where's Scott?"

"He's somewhere around here. He and Mitch also got in an argument, so I don't know what's up with them."

"Okay...Kevin's in the shower. Tell him I went to find everyone if he asks." Avi says and leaves.

I just sit there and wait for Avi to return.

I start to think about the time Mitch and I dated.

It didn't work out, obviously, so I replaced Mitch with Avi.

No! Stop it, Avi is one of your best friends you do NOT like him.

Right?

*Avi's POV*

I try to hide it from Kirst, but I'm really mad at Mitch.

Kirstie is really sensitive, and I know that what Mitch said hurt her, no matter what it was.

I hope that they'll work it out.

I walk in the door and run into Scott.

"Avi! I was just about to come look for you!"

"Same," I said. "Can you fill me in on what's going on?"

He sighed. "Well...Kirstie and I have noticed that Mitch hasn't been himself lately. He looked really sad, so Kirstie went to talk to him. Apparently, whilst Kirst was trying to comfort him, Mitch called her a liar and lashed out. Then, when I tried to talk to him, he wouldn't respond. I might've gotten a little too upset with him, but he definitely upset Kirstie."

"Do you know where he is?" I ask.

"I think he might be hiding in the bathroom, but I'm not sure."

"Do you wanna go find him? I left Kirstie on the bus and she's pretty shaken up."

"Yeah, go tell everyone that we're running a little late. Thanks Avi."

I walk outside to the bus.

Me and Kirstie can finally be alone! (Kevin's oblivious to a lot of things so)

I mean...

Me and Kirstie can talk about thinks as just-friends to make her feel better.

Right.

I get on the bus and sit with Kirstie.

"I just talked to Scott," I say and sit next to her. "He's looking for Mitch and going to talk to him."

She doesn't look up. "Great."

I lift her chin up. "Mitch is your best friend. You know this is hard for him right now. Please don't be sad. It hurts." I say and dramatically clutch my chest.

Kirstie smiles a little. "You really care about me, Avi. I like it."

My stomach does a flip.

"Of course I care. I always will."

"Y'know, I bet you pick up a lot of girls with that voice, you sexy bassman."

I smirk. "You admitted it. You like me."

She blushes. "N-no I didn't..."

"What if I told you I felt the same way?"

There was a pause.

"I'd do this." She said and kissed me.

The door opened and we pulled away.

"Avi?"
