Pre Notes: Yes, I'm working on the sequel to Jumping Feet First, but these ideas wouldn't leave me alone! All the underlined stuff means the guys are speaking German so April and others can't understand them... if it's just the guys, then they would be speaking German anyways so I won't bother to underline it. Enjoy!
Two AM
"April, I'm not going to tell you again. Wake up!" My mom shouted down the stairs. I turned up my music and rolled over. Just as the soothing voice of Bill Kaulitz started to face someone shook me. My eyes flashed open as the blankets, which were wrapped around my legs, were pulled away. I ended up on the floor with my mom leaning over me, laughing. "Don't say you didn't deserve it!"
"Mom!" My mother wasn't very old, she had had me when she was fifteen.
She leaned over and helped me up. "What?" She asked with innocent eyes.
"Nothing." I grinned. "I'm up now."
"I just didn't think you should be late for your last day of school, ever." We smiled one last time at each other and I headed into the bathroom to get ready.
I walked into the bathroom and hopped into the shower. As I rinsed my hair I hummed Sacred. I blow-dried my hair and decided to leave in the natural curl.
"I still don't see why you dyed your hair." Mom sighed as I sat down for breakfast.
"Cause it looks good." I grinned and ate a waffle that was placed on my plate.
We ate our breakfast and were talking about my up and coming grad when our back door burst open. My friend Sammy stopped when we looked at him "Sorry!"
Mom just shook her head. "No problem Sam."
He sat down and grabbed a pancake. A laugh escaped my lips. He looked embarrassed for less than a second then the excited look returned to his eyes. "Guess what April." He didn't wait for me to guess or ask. "Someone scored front-row tickets to the Tokio Hotel concert!" He held up two pieces of paper.
"No way! This concert has been sold out for ages! How'd you get them?"
We were both jumping up and down with excitement. "E-bay." Was all that came out of his mouth besides a scream. "You don't mind if Donny come's too?"
"Not at all." I loved the way his eyes lit up when he mentioned his boyfriend. "You are amazing!" He hugged, still jumping.
"I hate to interrupt this little party." My mom's voice finally broke through the excitement. "But if you don't get going, you're going to be late. Again!" She ushered us out the door. "Bye!"

"This is amazing!" I yelled into Sammy's ear.
"What?!"
"This is amazing!" I repeated. It was hard to hear over the music. Not to mention Bill's voice was hypnotizing.
"I know!" He called back. He looked from me to Danny, and back to me. He mouthed 'crowd surfing' and before I could protest, I found myself being carried towards the stage! Soon Sam was right beside me. "Reach!" He shouted, motioning at the same time.
I did as I was told and Bill grabbed my hand for a mere second, sending a jolt through my body. As I was carried by Tom, the boy winked at me. I winked back and blew him a kiss. What could it hurt? All of a sudden I was placed on the stage at the player's feet. He helped me up then attacked me with his mouth. I felt the cool metal of his lip-ring and his tongue. I kissed him back. Before his hands started to wonder I broke the kiss and jumped back into the crowd, leaving Tom groping the air. The rest of the concert went by with no problems.

"April, come on!" Sammy pulled me through the throng of people with Dan breaking way.
We were so close, I could see Bill's hair! Wait, I wouldn't be able to see it unless he was standing up. No! They were leaving. "Hurry up!" I told the boys. "They're leaving!" We got to the table and the rest of the band was standing. I managed to catch Tom's wandering eye for a second and winked at him. He did a double-take but Georg ushered him away before I could make myself fully seen.
"April, Sammy, Dan!" Jessica called, trying to reach us. "I saw you and Tom last night!" We squealed then she continued in a lower voice, "I know where they're staying!"
XXX
"Hurry up Sam!" I called, leaning out the window.
"I'm coming, I'm coming! A little help please!" He called back. Once I helped him through the window he exclaimed. "I can't believe we made it!"
Slowly we turned around to find four shocked faces staring at us. "Umm, Hallo." Tom was the first to speak. I went really quiet and looked at my shoes. "May I ask what you are doing in here?" He sounded nice and his accent was very thick.
Sam looked towards me and started speaking. "Hi, my name is Sam, and this is April."
I smiled at them and blushed. "Umm, this is one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time." Bill snorted lightly, but I ignored him and continued. "We were wanting to get your autographs."
"And you couldn't come to our signing this afternoon?" Georg asked, starting to laugh.
I looked up again, gaining back some of my confidence. "You guys were leaving by the time we got anywhere near you. One of our friends found out where you were staying, and here we are."
Tom looked me over. "Here you are."
I shot him a side-glance and turned to Bill. "Could I have your autograph please?"
He gave me a small smile. "Of course." Meanwhile Sam was busy getting the other's autographs. Bill spoke again. "You're pretty brave, climbing all the way up here."
I blushed a deep red. What's wrong with me tonight?! I thought to myself. "I guess so." I spoke out loud now. "It was Sammy's idea." As he handed me back my notepad our fingers brushed. I blushed even deeper. I couldn't stop thinking about what he would look like without his shirt. "Thank you."
"Wow." Tom spoke up and I realized for the first time that he was right beside me. "I didn't think a person could get that dark without a tan!" He looked at Bill, "She's hot."
"Tom!" He laughed but I had no way of knowing what was said.
"Umm, I think we're going to go." I grabbed Sam away from Georg, sending the guitarist an apologetic smile. "Do you mind if we use the stairs?"
They laughed and bill answered, "No problem."
"Thanks again!" Sammy called as the door shut.
Once we were out of earshot I muttered with a grimace. "Christ, what's wrong with me?"
Sam hugged me. "Nothing. You just got a little star-struck."
"Sam, I've been star-struck before! This definitely wasn't what I was feeling." We were on the street now. "I wanted to rip off his clothes!"
He just laughed. "Honey, you've joined the rest of us Bill fans."

"April," Mom called from the top of the stairs.
"Yeah mom?"
"I'm going out with Tony tonight. You can go out, just make sure you're back by two!"
I ran up the stairs and hugged her. "Have fun."
"Thanks sweetheart. You too." She had heard what Sammy and I had done, but just thought it was funny. "Just don't go scaling walls this time."
"Agreed." I laughed, "Unless Sam has some other crazy idea."
She just rolled her eyes. "Bye."
As soon as I saw her car leave the drive I pulled out my cell. "Sammy? Want to go partying tonight?" We made plans and I called Jessica to let her in on them. I then went to get ready. I left my raven hair down but straightened it. I carefully applied my makeup; lots of black eyeliner and mascara. As I zipped up my black skinny-jeans I thought, Tonight is going to be a good night. The last touch to my outfit were my black high-top converse. "I'm ready to go." I scratched Marshmallow, my cat's, ears on my way out the door.
I saw Danny's red Mustang sitting in my driveway and ran to it. "Hey." He smiled as we drove to pick up Sam. Dan was my next-door-neighbor. We had dated briefly in Middle School, before he came out of the closet. We had remained good friends and I actually introduced him to my other bast friend, Sam. They hit it off and hooked up. Sammy walked out of the apartment building and Dan's eyes filled with love. I watched jealously. These two had found true love. I was brought out of my thoughts by a knock on the window. I reluctantly crawled to the backseat and watched the couple share a brief kiss.
"Hi, April. Off to pick up Jess then?" Sam asked.
"Yup. Then off to Club Conner!" We all cheered at the mention of our favorite dancing club.

Sammy and I weren't old enough to drink so Dan and Jess got the drinks, and we paid them. Soon a hot guy asked me to dance. I was having so much fun I didn't notice the group of men in a corner watching me.
"April!" Sammy slurred.
"Hmm?" I asked, slightly distracted by Just Dance blaring out of the speakers and the guy grinding with me.
"Want to go back to Jess's apartment and party there?"
"Yeah. See ya." I told the guy who I was dancing with. As I walked away he slapped my butt. Without the man's support I stumbled a little as I walked.
"Come on." Dan grabbed me, laughing. We all piled into his car.
"Can you hurry up?" I whined as Jess unlocked her door. "I gotta pee!"
"There you go." She opened her door wide and I ran towards her small bathroom. I walked out and the drinks were already flowing. "Want one?" She asked and I nodded eagerly.
The drinks came steadily and the time melted together. After and hour or three, I don't really know, I decided it was time I got going home. "Want me to drive you?" Dan asked with a worried look on his face. He always stayed sober.
"No thanks Danny. You go ahead and party a while longer. Besides, I think some fresh air will do me good." I said goodbye one last time as I walked out the door. I started walking, but somehow ended up on the wrong street. I stopped and tried to sort out my thoughts. The next thing I knew someone was yelling at me to move and then I was flying. Someone screamed and I realized it was me. Then everything went black.
"Are you OK?" Someone kept asking.
"Just let me sleep mom, I don't want to go to school." I mumbled.
Someone laughed. It was at that moment I realized that I wasn't at home and someone was shouting in a language I didn't understand. I tried to sit up and the person who had been talking to me placed a hand on my shoulder. "Just rest for a second. Are you hurt?"
I recognized the voice and looked up into brown eyes. "Tom?"
He grinned. "Ja. We seem to be running into each other a lot lately."
"What happened?" I attempted to sit up again. This time he didn't hold me down, he pulled me close so I could lean on him for support.
"Well. You were kind of stumbling around. You stopped and were looking around when I shouted at you to get out of the way, but it was to late. That car hit you and you went soaring through the air."
"Was I out for very long?"
"No, and that's a good thing." He gently swiped a thumb over the swelling bump on my head.. "Can't you hear Bill yelling?"
I slowly stood, still using Tom's body for support. "Thank you very much." I tried to hide the drunken slur in my voice but he picked it up.
"You're drunk. I'm not going to let you walk home alone. Where do you live?"
"Third Street, West." I told him. It definitely wasn't the nicest neighborhood around.
He talked to a man, presumably Tokio Hotel's bus driver. "That's quite a ways away from here. Why don't you stay with us?"
I held up my hands. "No, I couldn't possibly do that! Besides, I promised my mom I'd be home by curfew this time. What time is it anyway?"
"Two o' five here."
"Oh," I started to walk.
"What's wrong? I told you, I won't let you walk alone." He walked so he was now in step with me.
"I'm late. Mom's gonna kill me." I tried to explain.
"I'm sure she'd understand." He started but stopped walking when I shook my head. "Look," He grabbed my hand, causing me to stop too. "I'll come with you in the morning. Please, just stay so I know you're safe."
"OK," I reluctantly agreed. We started walking back towards the fancy hotel. I didn't even realize Tom and I were still holding hands until Bill raised an eyebrow.
The two of them started speaking. "Tom, what is she doing here?"
"You saw what happened. Not to mention she's drunk and lives a good ten minutes away from here by car!" Tom gestured wildly as he spoke.
"So she's going to be another one of your one-night-stands?" Bill looked angry. "That's low, even for you Tom. I can't believe you'd take advantage of a girl like that! Did mom teach you nothing?!"
"Bill!" Tom's voice was harsh. "Give me more credit than that. She needs a place to stay, I'm gonna buy her a room. Settle down."
Bill's face changed again and he nodded. He then turned to me. "Hello again April."
"Hey." I winked at him, I wasn't going to be shy this time! "Thanks for chewing out that driver for me."
"No problem." He brushed me off and walked away. I turned around and smashed right into Tom's chest.
"Umph." I fell to the ground.
He quickly bent over and helped me up. "You really got to stop doing hat or else you could end up seriously hurt."
I gave a resigned sigh when he smirked. "So what were you and Bill talking about?"
"It was nothing." He answered.
"It didn't look like nothing. Bill looked pretty pissed." I stated.
"Fine, he thought I was going to take advantage of you."
"Would you?" I daringly asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No!" Then he realized I was flirting and smirked again. "If you were sober and agreed, I might."
I pretended to be sad. "To bad about the whole 'sober' part." We laughed. "So where am I supposed to go if you won't let me go home?"
"I thought I'd buy you a room."
"No!" My voice was harsher than it should have been. I softened a bit at the almost hurt look on his adorable face. "I couldn't possibly let you do that."
"Yes you could." He spoke with his mouth mere centimeters away from my ear. His warm breathe tickling my neck, causing me to shiver. "Look, you're cold. Just come inside. Please?" He added.
"OK." I agreed. I was getting really tired anyway.
Tom walked up to the receptionist and somehow got me a room. When we were in the elevator he spoke again. "You'll be staying in rom 108. Here's you key. If you need anything, you already know what room I'm in." He smiled at this.
"Thank you so much. You really didn't have to do this Tom."
"It's the least I could do. I mean, you just got hit by a car!" We heard the ding signaling the second floor. He walked me to my door and I realized it wasn't that far from his own. "Goodnight April."
When he was about to continue down the hall I grabbed his arm and thought, What could it hurt? I pressed my lips to his. "Goodnight Tom." I walked into the room and leaned against the closed door. My eyes were closed, replaying the kisses I've shared with Tom. Slowly I opened my eyes to the luxurious room around me. A bathroom was to the right. It had a huge Jacuzzi tub and the most gorgeous sink. On the left there was a closet. I walked the rest of the way into the room and a hand flew to my mouth. "Oh my god!" The room was beautiful! There was a large bed as well as a big, comfy looking couch. I brushed my fingertips over almost every piece of furniture before stripping down into my underwear. I crawled under the covers and fell to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillows.

I woke up in the morning at eight AM. I crawled out of my bed winced. I hurt in my ribs and my right leg. I swore under my breathe as I made my way to the bathroom and hopped into the Jacuzzi. I soaked for a little while, finding out the churning water felt good on my scrapes and bruises. Reluctantly I got out of the tub and dressed. I had to leave before the boys woke up. As I was walking out of the door I banged into a wall and fell to the ground. I then realized it wasn't a wall I had run into, it was saki, the boy's body guard. I winced and grabbed my ribs.
"Hello miss." Saki lifted me up. "I'm Saki. Tom said I was supposed to make sure you didn't leave before he had a chance to see you."
"I'm sorry sir, but my mom is probably really worried right now."
"Please." He handed me twenty bucks. "Go get something to eat while I go wake up Tom." He looked like he was begging.
"OK," I agreed then laughed. "He's a monster in the morning then?" Saki just nodded as he turned to go get Tom. "Just me." I told the girl at the desk. She started leading me in through the maze of tables and I saw Gustav and surprisingly, Bill, eating breakfast. I continued to watch them out of the corner of my eye.
Gustav whispered something to Bill, causing him to look over his shoulder. "April!" He waved me over.
"You know them?" The waitress asked me in awe and I nodded. "You are so lucky!"
I thanked her for starting to show me to a seat. "Gute Morgen." Bill smiled then remembered I didn't understand him. "Good morning." He explained and I smiled.
"Good morning to you too. I thought you were the one who likes to sleep in."
"Usually, I couldn't sleep though."
We continued to talk and flirt, almost completely ignoring Gustav until he said, "Gute Morgen Tom."
"Morning everyone." He slumped down into the unoccupied seat beside me.
I tried to continue talking to Bill, but he had drawn back into himself. I rolled my eyes and turned to Tom. "So you've seen me, can I go home now?"
He grinned and Bill's eyes shot daggers. "I'm going to take you home. That way I can explain to your mom what happened to you."
I sighed. "Fine, but can we go now, please?"
"I haven't eaten yet." He whined as I stood up.
"You can eat at my place, but I really need to get home." I said goodbye to the other two and Bill ignored me. It hurt but I chose to thing nothing of it.
