Avi's POV

There he was. Sitting on the edge of the fountain. He lifted his head up and noticed me looking at him. He made eye contact and gave me that terrible smirk that made me shake in my shoes. My breathing started to quicken and my vision started to blur.

Noticing that I wasn't following him, Scott turns around and sees me visibly shaking in fear.

"Avi, are you ok?"

I couldn't reply. I didn't even look at Scott. I was too transfixed on Jonathan's hazel eyes that were locked on mine.

"Avi? Can you hear me?" Scott whispers as he waves one of his hands in front of my face.

"I-I n-need to g-go." I stutter before I run towards the bus.

"AVI!! WAIT!! COME BACK!!" Scott yells, getting the attention of the other band members.

I needed to get away from Jonathan. I needed to be alone. How did he know where I was? How did he know that I would be near the fountain? Why do I have this feeling that he could be stalking me?

I finally made it to the bus after running through the crowded streets of Chicago. I get on the bus and slam the door shut with authority. I didn't even hesitate to let my tears flow from my eyes when I hid in my bunk. The sound of me sobbing echoed through the empty bus.

Why does Jonathan have to make my life miserable every time I feel even the smallest spark of happiness? Why does he rob me of my sanity?

As I sit there crying, I hear the door to the bus open and hear my name being called.

"Avi? Are you in here?"

"Just leave me alone Scott."

"But we're worried about you Avi. What happened out there?"

"I don't want to talk about it." I reply coldly.

"Avi please talk to me."

"I said I didn't want to talk about it Scott! When I say that I don't want to talk about something, I don't want to talk about it. Can you please respect that?"

Seeing that my words offended him a little, he turns and starts to talk off the bus.

"If you want to talk, just call me ok?"

"Ok."

Scott is almost off the bus before I call him back. I can't shut him out.

"SCOTT WAIT! COME BACK!!" I yell.

I hear him walk back onto the bus and walk up to my bunk. He pulls back the curtains and sees the crying mess that is me.

"Yeah Avi?"

"I-I saw J-Jonathan i-in-n the p-park Scottie!! He's here!!"

Scott's face starts to show more concern and a touch of anger in his blue eyes.

"Are you sure Avi?"

"Am I sure?! Would I be sitting here crying my eyes out if I were lying??"

"You know what? You're right Avi. I'm sorry" he says pulling me out of my bunk to give me a hug. "Like I said earlier, I'll protect you. Do you want to sit on the couch and cuddle?"

I nod my head and we walk to the couch.

The moment I get comfortable in Scott's arms, the rest of the band comes on the bus.

"Scavi alert!!"

"Now's not the time Mitch!" Kirstie yells.

"Well sor-ry!" He sasses.

"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt. But we have to get to the stadium in 15 minutes!!!" Kevin informs us.

I look at my phone and see that it's 5:45.

"Oh shit!! We need to leave now or Esther will have our heads if we're late!!" I panic.

I jump up and straighten out my clothes.

"Let's go!!"
