Comfort Night

Scott's POV:

I opened our hotel door in Vermont, feeling emotionally drained. I had said goodbye to Avi on stage during Sing, and it was so hard to stop crying and actually sing. And after that we all gathered around Avi and hugged him, making me burst into tears again.  Mitch walked in behind me, subdued and quiet.

All was silent until I heard soft sniffles coming from Mitch. I walked over to him and tilted his head up, only to see tears silently falling down his gorgeous face. "You okay, Mitchy?" I  asked him.  He shook his head, prompting me pull him as close as I could. He continued crying for two more minutes before speaking .  "I- I can't believe he's actually gone. He's like family. I just miss him so so much. I remember all the good times we had, and that makes me miss him more." He starts to cry harder and I wrap myself tighter around him, as if by holding him as tight as I possibly could, I could fix his broken heart.

I tear up too, missing the man who had always been there for us since day 1. The man who took a chance to perform on a show with people he only met the day before the performance.  "I know it's hard right now baby. But think about how happy he is right now. I'm sure he's just as upset as we are, but he's doing what's best for him." I comforted him. He whimpered softly the sound absolutely heartbreaking.  "It's ok. We're going to get through this together. It'll all be ok at the end." I tell him.  He nods his head, and buries his head in my chest.

I tell him to go change his clothes and to come to my bed when he's done. I decided that going out wasn't the best choice for us, so I opened my computer and pulled up SpongeBob. Mitch climbs in my bed, surprising me. "SpongeBob?" He asked. I smiled at him. "Yeah, I think we both don't feel like going out after today, so I was thinking we'd have a comfort night."

He kissed my cheek. "That's so sweet of you to do." He said softly. I smiled gently at him and wiped off the tears on his cheek. I pressed play and cuddled with him. Soon we were both crying with laughter because of something SpongeBob said. Yes it would be hard to deal with Avi leaving, but we'd get through it. Together
