Start Over

Hurting.

*Mitch's POV*

"Let's go!" Kirstie says and jumps on my back.

I giggle and carry her out to the van.

We had a nice breakfast and we discussed what we're doing today.

We just have this morning show and then dinner later tonight.

"So what are we singing?" Scott asks.

"Well we were thinking about Santa, but we always do Santa." Avi says.

"What about... Mary?" Kirstie asks and rubs her forehead.

"Ooh, we haven't done that in a while." Scott says.

"Mary." I say and everyone turns to me.

"Yeah, I like Mary." Avi says.

"Okay, so you guys will sing that. But we need one more." Esther says.

Ugh, I miss Scott. I want to hold his hand.

I look at Avi holding Kirstie's hand and smile.

That will be us tonight.

"Mitch, did you hear me?" Kevin says.

No, sorry.

"We're singing Hark the Herald."

I give him a thumbs up and start going over my part in my head.

"Agh!" Kirstie shrieks.

"What? Are you okay?" Avi asks.

"The light, it hurts my head." She says and rubs her eyes.

Someone must have taken a Snapchat or something.

I'm really worried about her. She's our only girl, our cute little Kirstie.

Even though I'm the youngest, we still  think of her as the cute little girl of the group.

"I'm sorry, Kit. Close your eyes and see if it helps." Avi says.

Kirstie leans her head back and closes her eyes until we arrive at the show.

Kevin greets the hosts of the show and we have a small chat before taking our places on stage.

I close my eyes and take a breath before going on stage.

"Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh."

I hear the harmony fall into place and let everything around me disappear.

"Mary did you know..."

My boyfriend's voice fills the air.

I hear the tight Scavi harmony.

Kirstie's solo comes up and she sings it perfectly, even though she's hurting.

"Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?"

I really get into the song.

"When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God."

The bridge is sung beautifully and Scott slays his high note.

I'm overcome with emotion after the high note and I feel tears coming on.

With everything that the group has been through and that it's all led up to today.
