Chapter 6

"Again…."

Akira sat quietly at the kitchen table, listening as her mother talked to her doctor on the other end of the line. Her nerves trembled, as she anxiously waited for the conversation and to hear what was in store for her future.

Almost five years ago, she had lost the ability to see. The memory was something to send shivers down your spine, and made her teeth clench at remembering how some people can just be so cruel. All her life, she knew it was NEVER ok to ridicule someone, even if it is just playing around. One simple "joke" could lead to serious consequences.

"Thank you Dr. Lynin" said Mrs. Night, a few tears slipping down her cheeks. "Thank you for your help." Mrs. Night took a deep breath after hanging up the phone, and turned to face Akira.

"What'd he say mom?"

"We tried, baby. We really tried……."

"Where is Bill?" asked Gustav, as the three boys sat in the lobby of the hotel.

"He's on the phone" replied Tom.

"Again" added Georg.

"Who is he talking to anyways?"

"Don't matter. But if he don't hurry up, we're goin' to the party without him." Tom about had it with his brother's head in the clouds. Did he not remember they were only going to be there for a short week? He and his beloved angel would have to part eventually. He stood in front of the door of Bill hotel room, banging on the door. "Bill? You in there?"

"What do you want?"

"Hurry up, you bastard!! Talk to the girl later!! We gotta go to the party!!"

"Hold on!!" he turned back to his phone. "Hey, what are you doing tonight?"

"Nothing. Why?"

"Me and the guys are going to a party tonight. How about you come? Meet me there?"

"Are you sure about that? I'm only sixteen, remember?"

"I'll wait for you. They'll let you in if they know you're with me."

Akira thought about it for a second. "This party, am I allowed to bring someone?"

"Anything you wish."

"Alright then."

"Great. I'll have a cab come get you and who ever you wanna bring."

"Ok. I'll meet you there in about an hour." To be honest, Akira needed a little cheering up, especially now after hearing her heartbreaking news. Akira hadn't told Bill about it. At least not until it sank through that something she secretly wanted would never be. And there was no way in hell she was going to a Hollywood party by herself.

Bill and Tom stepped out of the elevator, walking towards their two other band members.

"About time," complained the two.

"Hey. It takes time to look this good. That's something you wouldn't know about."

"Some of us would rather not look like we had a bomb explode on our head." teased Georg.

"Hey, if it gets the girls goin'…………..."

Akira jumped to the door the second she heard the door bell ring. "Nylai?"

"Hey girl!!"

"You made it!!"

"This is a Hollywood party we're talking about!! I wouldn't miss it for the world!! And besides, it gives us a chance to get to know each other a lil' better."

"Is the cab out front?"

"Yup!! Let's rock and roll!!" 'Rock and roll? Oh wow….that's too adorable.'

Bill waited outside the celebrity packed club, waiting for one person to arrive. He didn't notice the fans, he didn't notice the paparazzi. But he did notice the small black haired girl in sunglasses holding on tightly to the hand of a dirty blonde haired girl as she made her way to the front.

"This who you waiting for?" asked the blonde.

"Yeah. I'm Bill."

"Oh trust me. I KNOW who you are. I'm Nylai." She turned her attention to Akira. "You have fun. Bill's right here." She said, placing Akira's hand in Bill's. "And good luck." She whispered in her ear. "Nice meetin' ya Bill."

"Tom's in there!!" shouted Akira.

"I know!! Why do you think I'm rushing?" Bill laughed to himself as he watched the blonde get lost in the crowd of people.

"I'm glad you could make it!" he said loudly, trying to speak loud enough for her to hear.

"I said I would come, didn't I?"

"I got a table reserved at the back. V.I.P only."

"After you, Kaulitz." He held on tightly to her small and petite hand, ripping through the over crazed teenagers and young adults. 'Why do people get in the way?' he thought to himself.

"This nice enough?"

"Very impressive. To bad I can't see it, Kaulitz."

"Yeah, but this might be the only place that's somewhat quiet."

"You really wanna talk, don't ya?"

"This is a party, and I don't dance. What else do you expect me to do?"

"Oh. Good to know I'm just something you talk to when you got nothin' else to do."

"No, I didn't mean it like that!"

"Calm down, Kaulitz. I'm just playing with ya." Both of them chuckled, realizing how ridiculous they were being. Bill placed his hand on her cheek, stroking it with his thumb. He gave her a soft kiss, inches from her lips. Akira half smiled, but it slowly melted away when reality came rushing through her head. "What's wrong?" he asked as the first tear began to slip from her eyes.

"Why don't the good things stay?"

Keep reviewing!! ILY GUYS!! So should I keep going???
