Laurie got off the plane along with dozens of army soldiers. The airport in Fayetteville is usually reserved for people of the military personnel, but she was able to get a seat so that she didn't have to take a two hour drive from Raleigh.

As she left the plane and entered the airport there were plenty of people holding up various signs for their long awaited army members. She made her way through the crowd she picked up her bags and called a taxi.

Her first stop: her old high school

She had been asked by her old principal to make a speech there. She pulled up to the school and brought her things in with her.

Laurie entered the school and introduced herself. When the principal came in he instantly greeted her kindly and told her she could leave her bags in the office. She then heard the school bell.

Hundreds of kids walked through the halls; luckily they were all so busy that they didn't even recognize her. The principal asked her to go to the gym and wait as he'd make the announcement. She did so and felt very awkward as she waited in the large empty room when suddenly dozens of teenagers ran into the building and started murmur amongst each other. Laurie was in the corner of the room and suddenly wished that she wore something else.

She pulled down her denim miniskirt to make it look longer as the principal announced her to the school.

"Everyone, we have been discussing throughout the year about how the future can hold things beyond our imagination. Today we have someone who truly lives that idea. Today, I welcome to the stage music legend and ex-Terri Sanford student, Laurie Collins!"

The entire school had mixed reactions. Some of them cheered, some booed, some barked with lust, and the rest sat quiet as they looked at her annoyed. Laurie easily could tell who was doing what by which cliques they were in.

She walked up onto the stage and wasn't sure what to do. "Hello," she said into the microphone. "As you guys might have guessed I'm Laurie Collins-"

The crowd made more various noises. "Thank you," she said, "thank you.

"So, I'm not completely sure what I'm supposed to do right now. I guess I'll just let you ask some questions. Yes you." She pointed to a student who raised her hand.

"Who's the most famous person you've ever met?"

"Umm… uh…" she looked back at the principal. "I don't know, there were plenty of people. Maroon 5, Nickelback, Lindsay… I even met Ms. Spears at a party once. After a while you realize that they truly are just like us… only better known."



She looked back at the crowd. She maybe recognized about ten percent? Laurie wasn't sure. Various hands went up when one really caught her breath. This girl scared her about ten times as much as Taylor ever did.

"Yes. Um Talia."

"You remember me?" The young blonde asked.

"How could I forget?" Laurie asked faking a smile. "White quite the… relationship, back when we went to school together. So what's your question?"

"Is it true what they say about you and the guys of Tokio Hotel?"

Guys? The rumor had spread further than just her and Bill.

"Yeah," another kid in the crowd shouted. "How well does Tom kiss?"

The entire school started to laugh. "What?" Laurie asked.

"Come on, everyone saw the photo of you two!" Another shouted.

She knew of the one of Bill and her, but that had never been made public. "What are you talking about?"

"The one where he has his arms around you two and you guys are being really close," another mocked. "How good is he in bed?"

"Wha- I there's nothing… I mean."

She ran off stage and hid behind a curtain as she pulled out her PDA. She went online and googled 'Tom Kaulitz Laurie Collins'.

The search turned up thousands. She pressed the 'images' button and saw various photos of when Tom had been teaching Laurie how to play guitar. Unfortunately whoever took these photos made it seem like the guitar didn't even exist.

"Oh, my god…" she sighed. "This can't be happening."

"Is that the only reason they got signed on in the first place?" someone asked loudly. "'Cause you were fucking the guitarist?"

"What?" Laurie shrieked. Tokio Hotel had been signed on long before she met them. She stormed off the stage, across the gym, ran to the office for her things, and soon hailed a taxi. In reality it only took her about three minutes, but time was moving so slowly to her eyes.

The taxi drove to her hotel and dropped her off. Laurie sorrowfully checked in and the first thing she did was get out her laptop as she made it to her room. She opened it and went online to check out exactly how much damage was done. She searched on google again.



Immediately she found dozens of sights talking about the picture.

Can Tokio Hotel keep their paths away from scandal? Recently dozens of photos with Tom Kaulitz and Laurie Collins holding each other in her condominium.

Neither Tom, Laurie, nor anyone else associated with them, has yet to comment on the photographs. The photos have not even been identified as genuine as to date.

"Laurie!" her computer shouted.

She nearly fell over because of shock. She wondered who was talking to her. Laurie clicked on some buttons onscreen and finally found it. She saw Tom and Bill staring at her through her computer.

(German is now the main language)

"Tom? Bill? How did you guys manage to do that?"

"We bought a webcam," Tom said. "Last week we stole your laptop and told Gustav to install the program into it."

"You stole my laptop?" she asked blandly.

"N-no…"

She rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, did you see those photos?" Bill asked.

"Uh- yeah, I just saw them for the first time about half an hour ago. Any idea who published them first?"

"We looked around, I think it was just some people on MySpace," Tom said.

"Damn it, do those people have any lives?"

The guys just shrugged. "What do we do?"

"I don't know." She dropped her head onto her keyboard as a long sound of beeping shoots from her computer. "Damn that's annoying."

Note from the author:

Okay, I wanted to let you know that alot of my characters are based off of real people

Laurie's personality in actuallity isn't based off of someone real. She tends to make me think of Paige Michaelchuck of Degrassi

Taylor Mitchel is based off of a friend. No, my friend's not a bitch, I'm making Taylor's personality into my friend's in this story.

Talia Martin is based off of this bitch who goes to my school... I hate that bitch

Oh, and Haley, though she isn't really the character in this story at all, her birthday is based on a friend of mine.

If you guys want I'll post pictures of all of them, kay?
