Start Over

In My Head.

*Avi's POV*

"Where are they?" I ask, texting Scott for the hundredth time.

"Baby, calm down. It takes them a little bit longer." Kirstie says.

"I know... I'm just worried about Scott. They're alone. And this is our first real concert of tour."

"I was just over there and they seem to be doing fine." Kirstie says and laces her fingers with mine.

"I'm gonna warm up." I say and go sit on the couch.

I put my head in my hands and start humming Evolution of Beyonce.

The door slams open.

"We're here! We're late, we know. I'm sorry... I fell." Scott says frantically.

"It's okay. Are you guys okay?" Kevin asks.

"I'm fine." Scott says.

They look broken.

"Okay... well let's get started." Kevin says.

We go out onto the stage.

"Wow... this is huge." Kirstie says in awe.

I smile. She's so cute.

She rubs her head and pinches her eyes shut.

"You okay?" I whisper.

"Yeah, I just have a headache."

I kiss her forehead softly. "Take it easy."

I'm kind of worried about her headaches. She's been having them for a while now and they're becoming more frequent.

"Ready to get started?" Scott asks and I nod.

Scott gives a thumbs up to the guy running our sound.

I get in my spot next to Kirstie and start the first beat.

"Dum. Dum dum dum."

I watch Kirstie out of the corner of my eye.

She sings through the first verse fine, but doesn't seem to be moving a lot.

I keep an eye on her for the song until Mitch's rap.

I see a distant look in her eyes and stop singing.

Everyone looks at me.

"Avi? Are you-"

"KIRSTIE!" Mitch yells and catches her as she falls to the ground.

Esther runs onto the stage.

I hold her head up and carefully place her on the ground.

Kirstie looks at me with her eyes half closed.

"Are you okay baby?"

She nods. "I'm fine. I just got dizzy."

I kiss her forehead. "Do you wanna lay down?"

She nods and I pick her up bridal style.

"I'm gonna go to the dressing room. I'll be back." I say.

I carry her into the dressing room. "Do you feel okay?"

She nods.

I hand her a water bottle. "Drink some water. I'm taking you to the doctor."

"No, Avi. I'm fine-"

"No you're not. This has been happening for a while. I think this is from..."
