Chapter 1 - Dreams and secrets

May 9th, the band is in a tour for North America. By now they're somewhere in Florida.

Scott was sited in a bench in front of the tour bus. A few minutes ago, he woke up Avi, Kevin and Mitch and told them to go outside to talk to them. Avi, Mitch and Kevin went out, hanging cups of coffee, and sat down beside Scott.

"What's all this about, Scotty?", Mitch said.

"Yeah, man... The sun is not even up yet", Kevin replied.

Scott smiled and said: "I'll tell you... I wanna make a surprise birthday party for Kirstie. Her birthday is in just a week"

Everyone looked excited for the idea. Mitch started applauding and all of them talked about where and how the party should be.

Meanwhile, in the tour bus... Kirstie had been having not very normal dreams for a long time ago. She hasn't told anyone yet, she didn't want them to get worried. Last night dream was about she lost in a building she didn't recognize. She was running through the hall, desperate for find a way out. There wasn't stairs or elevators and she was in a high floor. She was barefoot and wore a white short dress and didn't know why. At the end of the hall were two men, but she couldn't see them well. They were like screaming her name, calling her to go there... But, for some reason, she didn't want to go. She ran in the opposite direction, but she fell down... And then she woke up. In the past few nights, her dreams were about two men, in different situations but always two men. She could never see their faces.

Kirstie went to the front part of the bus; the coffee was already made so the guys were already up. She saw them through the window; they were talking very animated sited in a bench. She were to dress up and then went out.

"Hey guys! What are you talking about?", she said, but they stopped talking when she came.

"We were talking... About the new songs that Kevin is preparing for us", Scott told her, a little nervously as she could notice.

"Oh that's awesome, Kevin! I didn't know you were working in new songs" she said faking that she believed Scott's lie.

"Yeah well... I wanted it to be a surprise but you caught me", Kevin laughed and so did the rest of the guys.

Kirstie was a little disappointed because she knew her friends were lying to her. "Can we talk inside, Mitchie?", she asked. Mitch surely would tell her what's happening.

"Of course, honey", Mitch answered while Avi, Scott and Kevin looked at him like saying "be careful with what you tell her".

"Do you think she knows anything?", Kevin asked.

"Of course she does", Avi said, "she knows us very well, she knows we lied to her. She is the smartest girl, how can't she know?"

"Yeah but... Don't you think she looked a little tired? But more like worry or sad I'm not sure... Something is happening with her", Scott said.

"Maybe she's missing Texas, we have been touring for a month already and..." Kevin was saying.

"No, Scott's right. It's anything else what's worrying her..." Avi interrupted Kevin. He looked very worried for her and so was Scott. The two of them were looking the tour bus. Kevin saw Avi's face, then Scott's face and then again Avi's... He couldn't help it but thought they had anything different in the way they look Kirstie, but it could only be his imagination. At least, he hoped it was his imagination.

Inside the tour bus, Mitch and Kirstie sat down on the back part of the bus.

"Would you tell me what you really were talking about?" She asked him.

"Do you think we lied to you?" Mitch was nervous by this moment.

"I'm sure about it" Kirstie said while looking down sadly.

"Hey hey... Please don't be sad, Kirst. Yeah we lied but we don't want to hurt you. It's for a good reason, I promise. Neither of us can tell you right now, but don't worry. It's nothing bad, trust me. We will never do or say anything that could hurt you or making you feel bad... You know it, right?"

"I know it... But try not to lie to me again, ok?"

"That's another promise. So... Are you ready for tonight's show?" Mitch said trying to make the conversation a little happier.

"I am, I really love touring don't you?"

"Oh hell yes!" Mitch screamed and made Kirstie laugh loud.

After that the two of them started talking about the show. A few minutes later, the rest of the group came and joined to the conversation. They decided to change the opening song, so they will start the show with Daft Punk and end it with Can´t hold us.

The day was relative normal, except for Mitch suspecting about his best friend looking too much at Kirstie, just as Kevin noticed a couple hours ago with Avi too. He decided to talk with Scott after the show; he needed to know if there was something between the two of them or if it's just by his own. Show would start in one hour so the guys starting with the last minute preparations.

Kirstie was ready. She was already dress up and with her hair and makeup on point. She was standing on backstage waiting for her friends, looking at her phone and chatting with her family. The last show on Texas was amazing, she could see her family and was very happy, but now she missed them so much. Scott came and saw her alone.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Oh just chatting and waiting for all of you… Are you ready?", she asked with a smile. Years ago she had a crush on Scott, but she realized he just saw her as a little sister so she gave up. Even so, she couldn't help it but thought that he was very handsome and lost for a moment in his beautiful blue eyes.

"Very ready… Oh, you have a little of lipstick here…", he said while cleaning it so close of her mouth. For a moment he saw her eyes and thought about how beautiful she was. How didn't he see it before? He was in love with her, but why he noticed it now? He had been feeling this way for a few days but found the truth just now, why?

Kirstie was confused by the way Scott was acting. If she didn't know him well, she´d think he wanted to kiss her. But that couldn't be, right? Scott loved her but just as a best friend, she knew this since high school.

By that moment, Avi came close to them distracted by the new arrangements Kevin was doing to a song of Adele for Pentatonix. He looked up and saw Scott and Kirstie. He couldn't help it but was angry for what he was seeing. But that can't be, isn't it? Scott and Kirstie were just friends, right? Scott hadn't acted like he had a crush on Kirstie or something. And she looks more confused than in love. Avi didn't want to get mad with Scott; he was one of his best friends and loved him as a brother. Maybe it was something else… At least he hoped that because he had fell in love with Kirstie a little before the tour started but didn't know how to tell her or if he should tell her. Nobody else knows about it, not even Kevin. He came closer to them and put a hand in Scott´s shoulder.

"Hey guys, just ten minutes for the show to start, are you ready?", he said while giving Scott a look.

"We are ready, let´s do this!", Kirstie said excited.

She went to grab her microphone. Scott and Avi were looking each other ´till Mitch and Kevin came just in time to start the show. They looked their best friends and worried about.

"This can be bad, right?", Mitch asked to Kevin.

"I hope it not to be", Kevin answered, "Hey! Five minutes! On your positions"

Scott looked at Mitch, saw his worried face and then looked back to Avi. "We´re fine", he told him, but sounded more like a question.

Avi wanted to forgot all this bad feelings, Scott was his friend, he just couldn´t be mad with him. "Yes, we are", he said with an authentically smile.

Everyone took their positions, from left to right: Kevin, Scott, Mitch, Kirstie and Avi. And so the show started.
