Pentatonix got nominated for another Grammy!!! AAAAAAHHH!!! So proud of them!!!!

Scott's POV

We managed to get our things out of the cars and we pulled them into the porch.

I walk up to the door to unlock the door. "Hopefully these still work."

I go to unlock the lock it but I notice that the door is detatched from the lock. "Wait..."

I push the door open to reveal that the place is trashed and see that there's a crowbar by the doorway. "Looks like someone broke in."

We all start to slowly pile into the old cabin while Mitch tells me to "Be careful".

"What's that smell?" Avi silently complains.

"Teenagers probably just broke in here to drink beer and bump uglies." Kevin joked.

"Exactly." Kirstie agrees.

"Esther would have hated seeing a cabin like this." Avi states as he crosses his arms, hugging himself.

"Ok. Let's make this place livable."
----------------------------------
Avi's POV

I slowly walk down the hallway and into a small bedroom to observe my new resting place. On the walk, I see pictures of all the members of Pentatonix from over the years. On the desk in the room, I see a small book with a picture of me, Scott, and Esther smiling.

"Hey. Are you ok?" Scott says as he walks up behind me.

"Do you remember that lullaby that Esther used to sing us when we couldn't sleep on the tour bus? It was something like:

Close your eyes lay your head down

Now it's time to sleep

May you find great adventure

As you lie and dream..."

"Avi please. I don't think you need sad memories in your head right now."

"Esther's not a sad one."

"You know what I mean."

There was a small silence between me and Scott.

"You know that at her final days at the hospital, Esther sometimes thought...I was you. She even called me 'Scott' for a whole day once...I played along because..."

"Avi look...I wanted to be there...ok I did. But by the time Esther got bad, I was stuck in New York when I was doing an interview for People Magazine and my flight back got delayed. I had a tough time trying to get back...and then it was too late so..."

"Maybe you were lucky...not to see her the way that I did."

I walk out of the room to leave Scott with his thoughts.
---------------------------------------

A few hours later....

Kirstie's POV

We all decided to get some fresh air after we fixed the place up. Scott decided that he should put some fresh nails into the doorway to keep it from falling apart. Mitch was talking with Avi in the front yard with Wyatt in his arms. Kevin, on the other hand, was shuffling a deck of cards in his hands on the porch swing. I needed to talk to Scott about what happened to Avi while he was away in New York.

"Looks like he's doing ok." Scott says with a smile on his face as he looks at Mitch and Avi in the front yard.

"Scott, there's something that you need to know."

"Ok?"

"We already tried this whole thing back in Flint last summer. Avi made the same promises. He...took the same dramatic vow to sobriety before chucking his dope down the toilet..."

"He lasted eight hours and quit." Kevin interviens.

"So we don't want to give him that chance this time."

"What do you mean?" Scott interrupts.

"Scott when he breaks, and believe me he will, we don't want to let him leave."

"What do you mean? Force him to stay here?? Avi?"

"This time the only way is the hard way, man." Kevin says.

"He won't survive another OD."

"What?! Avi ODed??"

"He didn't just OD. Legally Avi died. They had to defibulate him." Kevin whispers.

Scott looked at both me and Kevin with pure shock and sadness in his blue eyes.

"Jesus." Scott whispers to himself.

"Look, we all need to be together on this otherwise it won't work." I explain to Scott and he slowly walk along the porch.

"We came here to make things better for Avi, not worse. If he asks me to take him home at some point them I'm going to have to do it."

----------------------
A few more hours later around 8 p.m.

Scott's POV

"Fuuuccckkk!! I can't stand it!! Kirstie, I CAN'T STAND IT!! The fuck is that smell?!" I hear Avi scream at the top of his lungs.

I run into Avi's bedroom to see him being forced into a hug by Kirstie.

"I can't stand that fucking smell anymore!" Avi cries as he bursts into tears.

"It's ok Avi. We're all here." I hear Kirstie whispers to Avi as he sits down onto the floor, crying into the bed sheets.

Kirstie notices me standing in the doorway and gives me a worry-filled look. "We're all here Avi. We're not going anywhere." she says as she tries to calm Avi down.

---------------------------

We managed to calm Avi down after a few minutes. Kirstie and me sit him down in an arm chair in the living room as she gives him a shot in the hand to calm his nerves a bit.

"Withdrawal's kicking in hard. This should help you get through the night." Kirstie says as she cleans up Avi's hand.

"I don't know what is wrong with you people. But there is something dead. And it reeks!!" Avi complains.

"But there's no smell." Mitch rebuttals.

"You're just extra sensitive right now."

"I just can't stand that fucking smell anymore."

Out of nowhere we hear Wyatt hiss loudly at something as he claws at the carpet in the middle of the living room.

"Wait." I stand up noticing that something's wrong.

I walk over and pick Wyatt up and hand him to Mitch. I pick up the carpet and slide it across the room. We all gasp as we see the sight in front of us....a large blood stain by a basement door in the floor (Picture).

"Oh, is that blood?!" Kevin exclaims.
