Avi's pov/
This is our first show of tour and I'm super nervous. I'm usually a little nervous around the first shows of tour because I'm scared that I might screw up my part or face plant on stage. This nervous is worse, everyone knows I'm gay and dating Scott. I'm scared of being judged and hated on just because I'd prefer guys over girls. Well Scott seems to pull it off well with out getting much hate so I guess this couldn't be completely horrible. "hey babe, what's on your mind? I can tell you're thinking" Scott asked "you, this show, people hating me for gay" I sighed "they won't hate you, I promise. and if they do I still love you and that's all that matters" he smiled so I hugged him and sighed not wanting to leave the safety of his arms. "ok, let's go!" Kevin cheered so I let go of Scott and we got into our places on stage.
The lights behind us went up revealing our silhouettes and we started singing while walking down the steps. I smiled and continued singing my part as I saw the thousands of people cheering. "I need your love, I need your time, when everything's wrong you make it right" Scott sang to me. I smiled and shook my head as I sang.
We finished the show and I am kind of glad it's over. I sighed as I drank my whole bottle of water. "I told you nobody would hate you" Scott said from behind me causing me to jump. "fuck you scared me" I told him "sorry?" he chuckled confused "you're mean" I said playfully hitting him "but you love me" He smiled and brought me into a hug. I relaxed and just enjoyed being in Scott's arms "I love hugging you" I said with my voice muffled by Scott's chest. I looked up at him and kissed him. "I love you" he whispered causing me to smile "I love you too" I smiled and saw Kirstie standing there with her phone. "Kirstie you better not post that anywhere" I groaned walking over to get her phone so I could delete the video I know she took of Scott and I. She dodged me and smiled "too late, It's on snapchat" She smiled "fuck you" I said then Scott wrapped his arms around me and spoke. "am I being replaced?" I laughed and managed to squirm out of his arms. I looked at him and he frowned. I gave him a cheesy smile so he ran towards me and wrapped his arms around me. "you can't get away that easily" he whispered "maybe I can" I smirked and tried to squirm out of his arms again. I stopped after I accidentally slammed our head together. "ow" we both whined then laughed. I looked up and kissed him before we were dragged out to the bus.
I quit messing around for like five minutes but when we were walking out to go to the bus Scott ran up behind me and slapped my ass. I walked next to him and kicked his. He stopped and tickled me. "no, stop it" I laughed "come on you two!" Kevin called so I turned around and kissed him. I grabbed his hand and we walked to the bus attempting not to mess around anymore.
"you two are crazy" Kevin told Scott and I as we sat down "what's new?" I asked and he gave me a weird look. I leaned on Scott and yawned "bed time" Scott sighed "you go ahead I'm going to eat first" I mumbled "oh and me the jar of nutella and a spoon" he smiled so I rolled my eyes and handed him the nutella from the cabinet "thanks" he smiled and started the nutella straight from the jar. I chuckled slightly and decided too check twitter "guys we should do a twitter chat to celebrate our first show of this tour" I suggested "you go ahead I'm going to bed" Kevin yawned "ditto" Mitch said and they went to their bunks "I'll do the twitter chat with you" Kirstie smiled "I'll sit here and eat this jar of nutella" Scott smiled. "you are going to get sick" I chuckled "no I'm not" he argued "ok what ever have it your way" I chuckled and went on twitter.
We are about to start our second show of tour and I'm really exited "you ready?" Scott smiled "yeah how about you?" I smiled "I'm ready" he returned my smile so I stood on my tip toes and kissed him before we went and got in our places. The lights went up and we started singing. We went to go walk down the steps like usual but Scott tripped and fell about ten feet off of the steps. Everyone gasped because Scott hadn't moved. I handed Kirstie my mic and jumped off the stairs and looked at Scott. "Scott, Scott say something" I said but nothing was said and he didn't even move. "Scott!" I shouted with tears in my eyes but no reaction. The paramedics cam and looked at him. "he fell flat on his back, he's going to need to go to the hospital" one said so I nodded and they carefully took him out. I sighed nd walked back to my spot. "seriously? go be with Scott. I know you want to" Mitch chuckled so I smiled slightly and ran off.
I got to the hospital and found Scott. "oh my god you're ok" I smiled and kissed him. "maybe not" Scott sighed "what do you mean?" I asked "I already have scoliosis an they said the fall could've made my back worse so we just have to wait for my x-rays" he explained right before the doctor walked "Scott, the fall did effect your back so you will have to wear a brace all the time including at night" the doctor explained so Scott nodded "and try not to walk or move around too much" the doctor added "that's going to be hard because I'm in the band Pentatonix and we are currently touring so I'm standing and walking for hours on end" Scott replied "well when you're not on stage you need to be sitting or laying down" the doctor sighed "ok, I can do that" Scott assured him "great now in about ten minutes a nurse will come in and give you the correct back brace" the doctor smiled so we nodded and he walked out.
After twenty minutes Scott was checked out of the hospital and we are back at the venue. He now has a solid plastic brace around his torso restricting all movement in his back. it's under his shirt so nobody should notice it. "Everyone cheered as Scott and I walked back on stage. "I'm ok, I just made my scoliosis worse by falling but I'm turtle now" Scott chuckled "a turtle?" Kevin asked and Scott lifted up his shirt to reveal his brace "I have a shell" Scott smiled "are you a ninja turtle?" Mitch smirked "I think we are all ninjas" Scott replied and we started singing we are ninjas even though it's not on the set list.
We go back to the bus and Scott sat on the couch. "I'm so tired" Scott groaned "then go to bed" I suggested "I wanted to cuddle first" he smiled slightly "first we both need to take our sweaty shirts off and change into our pajamas" I chuckled realizing how bad we smell. "maybe some cologne too" Scott chuckled and we went to the back where all the clothes were. We both changed and went back to the other couch. I leaned on Scott and frowned. I feel like I'm cuddling with a giant Barbie. "what's wrong?" Scott asked "nothing, just not used to you in that brace yet" I sighed and just held his hand. I leaned on his shoulder and sighed "I love you" I smiled "I love you too" he returned my smile then yawned. "you two should go to bed, it's eleven" Mitch said so I looked at my watch. "yeah we should get to bed" I sighed and we went to the bunks. Scott had a little trouble getting into his bunk but he got there eventually. I chuckled and climbed into my bunk. I laid there and slowly drifted to sleep.
Scott's pov/
Avi was disappointed when we went to cuddle because my stupid brace covers my whole torso. Is he going to stop loving me because of my back problems? I hope not. Ugh Scott stop thinking like this he loves you, he wouldn't let a medical condition get in the way of our love, would he? I stared the window of my bunk and slowly fell asleep while looking at the stars.
/1 month later\
I still have to wear this stupid back brace all the time and Avi has been growing further away from me day after day. I knew he would stop loving me because I'm not like I used to be. I can't do shit. He's slowly growing away from me and soon he's going to just stop loving me. I ignored my thoughts and went back to sound check.
"hey Scott can I talk to you alone?" Avi asked so I nodded and we went into the dressing room. "what's up?" I asked nervously "I'm sorry Scott" is all he said "why are you apologizing? you never did anything wrong" I asked "no, I mean I'm sorry to tell you this but, this isn't working" he told me and I knew what he was talking about just tried to make sure he wasn't really saying what I thought he was saying, if that made any sense. "what isn't working?" I asked "us, I'm sorry but it just doesn't feel right anymore. I fell in love with fun loving adventurous Scott and now you don't ever do anything" he explained "I can't! I could kill myself or be paralyzed if I risked messing up my back!" I cried "I'm sorry Scott" he apologized and left. I broke down. I punched the wall leaving a hole in it then just dropped to the ground and sobbed into my hands.
"oh my god Scott!" I heard Mitch shriek then footsteps quickly come towards me. "what happened? I heard a loud bang and got worried" Mitch asked "I punched the wall" I sniffled "why?" is all he asked "Avi broke up with me because of my back and me not being able to do much" I said starting to sob.

I haven't seen Scott for awhile and usually following Avi around. I went to the dressing room and saw Scott sobbing in Mitch's arms. "oh my god what happened?" I asked "Avi broke up with him because of his back and him not being able to do much" Mitch explained "that stupid bastard" I mumbled and walked off.
I found Avi and pinned him up against the wall with my forearm across his neck. "what the hell? let go of me" Avi said getting people's attention. The whole crew and the rest of PTX was watching me. "what the hell Avi? I thought you were better than that! You broke up with Scott because of his medical condition! You're a fucking idiot and an extremely shallow person!" I yelled leaving him speechless. "I had to, he couldn't do anything but sit around on his fat ass all day which is really boring" Avi replied and I tightened my pressure on his neck. "You hurt my best friend because he has a medical condition he can't control. go kill yourself at least you'll die happy because you're own happiness is all you care about" I growled and kneed him in the balls. I punched him giving him a black eye then strutted off. "holy shit, you just got your ass kicked by a girl" I heard someone say to Avi. I smirked and sat next to Scott on the floor.

I looked around and everyone seemed so disappointed in me. "Esther I need your help with something real fast" I told my sister "I'm sorry but you're not my brother, the brother I know wouldn't hurt someone like that so fuck off" Esther replied and walked off "Kevin?" I asked "that's messed up dude" Kevin said and walked off. great now my whole band hates me because I broke up with Scott. Mitch and Kirstie walked out of the dressing room and glared at me. "why does everyone hate me?" I asked "maybe because you broke up with Scott because of a medical condition and he punched a whole in the wall and hasn't stopped crying since you broke up with him" Mitch explained "you're such a fucking dumb ass for not realizing how much you meant to Scott" Kirstie said then a crew member walked up. "hey you guys have to be on in twenty minutes. is Scott going to be ok?" he asked "I'm sure performing will cheer him up a little" Kirstie replied and went back into the dressing room. I sighed and put my in ears around my neck.

I stood waiting by the edge of stage and I'm really scared. I'm so used to being able to go on stage and having Avi there to comfort me and make me happy but now I have no one. I always secretly focused on Avi to keep myself going. I loved him a lot and I guess I still do. "let's go!" Kevin announced so we put our in ears on and walked to our places on stage. Everyone started I need your love but I couldn't do it. I opened my mouth to sing and panicked. I'm scared. my only instinct was to run. I didn't even think about my back. I stopped at the dressing room because my back started hurting. I slid down the wall and cried.
"Scott what happened out there?" Mitch asked "I can't do it, I always focused on him to keep me going. having him there made me confident. he broke me" I cried "Scott you can't think like that. what about when it was just the trio?" he asked "barely anyone cared about us then, we didn't have thousands of people depending on us" I told him "Scott, you can do this. focus on me or Kirstie" He said so I got up. I walked by a cop and took the gun out of the holster. "hey put that down" the cop said and I held the gun up to my head. "Kirstie!" Mitch screamed so she ran back. "Scott don't do this please. there's lots of people out there who depend on you" Kirstie said "what do you want me to show them what it all looks like in the end?" I growled "Scott please put the gun down. it's not worth it" the cop said so I went out on stage with the gun. "I love you Avi! You did this to me. It's all your fault!" I yelled then held the gun up to my head. The fans gasped and Avi ran towards me. I moved my finger to the trigger and pulled it.

Avi ran towards Scott as an attempt to get the gun before he could pull the trigger. A loud bang filled the venue with sobs soon after. Scott's body lay limp on the stage and Mitch ran over to him. Mitch leaned down and sobbed over Scott's body. He is dead.
"I hate you! It's all your fault!" Mitch screamed at Avi then ran. Mitch ran up the stairs to the top of the venue about ten stories up. He took his shoes off and left a note on the ledge saying it's all Avi's fault, he killed me and my best friend. Mitch got out his phone and recorded it for Avi to see. "It's all your fault, you did this to him. you're killing thousands of people" Mitch sniffled and up on the ledge. "It's all your fault!" Mitch screamed and leaned back causing him to fall from the great height. His body hit the cement and all the bones shattered. He is dead.
Kirstie looked at Avi then a cop had said Mitch just jumped to his death. "It's all your fault!" Kirstie cried and ran to the kitchen. She pressed record on her phone and spoke. "I hate you Avi. you killed my best friends, you're killing thousands, it's all your fault" She set her phone up and stabbed the knife into her stomach. she kept stabbing herself until her pulse was lost. She is dead.
Kevin looked at Avi then a cop had told them Kirstie had stabbed herself to death in the kitchen. "It's all your fault Avi" Kevin said and walked off. Kevin found a rope and tied it to a noose. he hung the noose from a high beam behind the stage. He pulled out his phone and hit record "it's all your fault, you killed my best friends and your killing thousands, it's all your fault" Kevin said to the camera then climbed up and stuck his head through the loop. He stepped off the box he stood on and hung there. He stopped breathing. He is dead.
Avi looked around at the sobbing fans then at Scott's body. Av froze. One of the crew members collected the phones and edited them so they all played in a row then put it on a dvd. The police escorted all the sobbing fans and Avi still stood on stage frozen. The one crew member played the suicide tapes on the large screen behind Avi causing Avi to completely break down.
Later that night Avi was scrolling through twitter and saw hashtag it's ally Avi's fault was trending. His notifications were flooded with fans suicide videos. He took a live video and sighed "I'm really sorry everyone. it was all my fault this happened. It's only fair if I take my turn. It's all my fault I'm sorry" Avi said with tears. He picked up a bottle of some random pills and grabbed a handful. He took all the pills and already felt bad. "goodbye, I'm sorry for doing this" Avi apologized then ended the video. He posted it right before the medicine overdose kicked in and he passed out. His heart stopped. He is dead.
Fans kept tweeting their own suicide videos and this turned into the most people to commit suicide in history. It aired on world news. Avi's sisters tweeted their own suicide videos. The world seemed to have gone into depression.
