Green Eyes and a Broken Smile
Authors Note. My neurons have yet again rerouted themselves so I have this idea but I REFUSE to start yet another story so I shall write a one shot about a girl who stumbles backstage at a concert for her favorite band Tokio Hotel.
Alex walked away from the stage heading toward the backstage area pushing through the crowd who were all heading away. She nervously ran her hands through her dark brown hair in the dim light of the concert hall it appeared black contrasting starkly with her snow white skin. She was stopped by security showed her pass and allowed to move on. Alex meandered her way down the hall towards the room where she was supposed to meet the band. She was excited of course but Alex rarely acted on the impulses of human emotions, it gave her an alien, automatic look. Alex's phone buzzed and she glanced at it taking her eyes momentarily off of the area around her feet. Her face tightened for a moment at the name on the screen.
Blocked- hey vampire, your ignoring us again come on what r you doing that's so important.
Alex had almost 30 blocked numbers on her phone she was so tired of people sending her hate mail. Her attention was stuck on her phone so she stumbled. Tripping over her own feet and knocking someone she hadn't noticed over.
"Es tut mir leid" 'I'm so sorry' Alex said jumping to her feet. She was American but given she was backstage at a Tokio Hotel concert this person probably wasn't.
"Nein, es ist meine Schuld" 'No it's my fault' the boy replied and Alex's head snapped up she knew that voice better than that of her closest friends. Bill Kaulitz stood in front of her. Alex fought to control her blush and barely managed.
"Hätte ich sah, wohin ich ging" 'I should have looked where I was going' she said pushing her hair away from her face.
"So should I, your American right?" He said finally catching the accent Alex's voice hinted toward.
"Yea," Her phone went off again and she glanced down.
Blocked- How's that girl your in love with? You know the one in that band, Oh yea you never meet her.
Alex's hand shook in anger; She was so tired of this. Bill watched her curiosity shining in his eyes. Her face was carefully schooled her body language perfectly relaxed. She looked too exact to be quite real, he looked at her eyes. He was startled by the color. They were a deep jade green he hade never seen eyes like that before. He saw emotions under them her calm exterior visible only in her eyes. There was anger and pain. He stepped back, unable to stand the power of what he saw in her eyes. She was to out of it to notice. A few silent moments passed Alex got her hands to stop shaking. The calm, pleasant, excitement slid back into her eyes and she looked up at Bill.
"Sorry," some acquaintances of mine. She said as if nothing had happened.
"Its fine," Bill shook of his unease at facing some one so robotic. "Why don't you come hang out with us?" Meaning the band of course.
"Sure," she said smiling, she had a nice smile but it was still eerie as if it didn't quite belong. They walked down the hall. Alex didn't seem to notice the stares of the other band members, she noticed but she was used to stares.
"Hey guys this is," he paused he didn't know her name.
"Alex, it's what my friends call me." She said once again toying with her hair.
"Hey Alex," Tom said not registering the cool exterior as more than just a relaxed person. His eyes flashed over her body. Full chest narrow waist and full hips gave her a perfect hourglass. Alex relaxed onto a chair. Her phone buzzed again she looked this time she smiled.
Casey- ALEX! I swear to god if you do anything with Tom I shall kill you
"Who is it?" Georg asked signing the CD Alex had handed him.
"My friend Casey she's telling me that if I touch Tom she shall kill me." All the guys laughed at that. "My friends are going to kill me!" Alex added, slapping her forehead.
"What?" Bill asked curiously.
"I forgot to have you sign their CD's!"
"Well, hand them over" Tom held out his hand expectantly.
"Alright, catch!" Alex searched around inside her bad for the CD's. "Georg, this is for Colista, Gustav for Allie, and Tom for Casey and Collette." Alex threw them to each band member with perfect aim.
"Hey, how come Tom gets two?" Georg asked.
"Cuz two of my friends love him?" Alex looked like she was about to gag at the thought.
Bill laughed. "What, I don't get one?"
Alex fished out another CD, Zimmer 483. "This one's mine."
Bill looked it over, appearing puzzled, his brow furrowed in thought. "They sell these in America?"
Just then, Alex's phone buzzed again. It was another message, even meaner this time. "Excuse me for a moment." And with that, Alex ran out of the room and out of sight. She had thrown her phone down as she left the room and Tom picked it up curiously. He opened it back up and saw her wallpaper picture of Bill when he was much younger, when the Schrei CD first came out. He smiled; This girl must really like him. Another message popped up on the screen and he opened it, curious again. It read: Hey vampire, you think you're so smart. But you're not. And that guy you're always talking about wud never love an ugly homo freak like you.
Tom frowned, troubled by this. He was never one to care much for random peoples feelings but this was beyond normal. He hit the back arrow and read the next one, the one she had received right before leaving the room. Hi there u stupid asshole. What are you doing? Well whatever it is, im sure you're alone because u have no life and no friends! Ahahaha. Bye bitch!
Again, Tom was surprised at the harshness of the text message. Why were people so mean to the girl, Alex, as she had said? What had she ever done to them? The next read: hey there u creepy jerk. I hope you're miserable, that wud mean I was doing my job! P.S. The girl you love is a freak too, just like you!
By the girl Tom guessed they meant Bill. He was referred to as a girl by many haters. These messages were beyond mean.
"Tom! Don't go through the girl's phone!" Georg exclaimed, making a move to take the phone away. To, jerked it out of the way.
"No, I think you guys should see this. Come here" Tom motioned for the group to gather behind him and they did, looking over his shoulder. They read a few more messages, all surprised at their content. Another read: hey you freakish little homo. You are one fat ass ugly bitch!
Bill looked more upset than anyone. He couldn't believe they were talking about the girl he had just met in this fashion, the very girl that he had had such a startling connection with. The girl with the deep green eyes and the out-of-place smile; The one that had just exited the door a few minutes before. 'she couldn't have gotten far' Bill thought. He made a move towards the door and Gustav questioned him "Where are you going, Bill?"
"I have to go make sure she is ok" He walked to the door and out into the badly lit hallway, looking from one end to the next. She wasn't there. He turned to the left and down another hallway. No luck. At the next corner he turned right and was relieved to see Alex sitting in the corner against the wall at the other end. As he got closer, he heard her choked sobs and his stomach seized up, his heart going out to her. Even though he had just met her he couldn't bear to see her in this amount of pain. From the second he had seen her he could tell that she didn't get this upset very easily. She must have heard him coming and glanced up. Tracks of smeared black makeup ran down her face from her eyes to her chin. He knelt down beside her and pulled her to him. She calmed a little, though still sobbed silently as he held her. After a few minutes he pulled back a little. She attempted to wipe the makeup off her face, with little success.
"You ok?" He asked, nothing but worry in his eyes. She had been expecting pity.
"I'm fine. Just so tired of it all."
"I understand. Tom was being a snoop and we saw some of the messages. From what I can see, they're just jealous. You are none of those things. So don't dwell on the haters; If you do, you'll never get to live."
"Thank you for coming after me. And, I'm sorry you had to see me like this."
"Not a problem. Now come on, left get back. We can stop at the bathroom on the way back so you can clean up a little."
"Thank you. That would be great."
Bill stood and pulled Alex up after him. He saw fresh scabs on her arms, by the crease of her elbows, but decided not to ask. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, because he was tall and had a hard time reaching her waist though she wasn't short, and held her close.
