Chapter 10

"Danke, Tom"

Ten o'clock in the morning, and Tom Kaulitz sat alone in the hotel room he shared with his brother. Feeling the knob turning, Tom stared at the door being open. His brother had been missing all night, but he didn't bother ask where he was. He knew he was with her. It did make him laugh, the way his brother would change his clothes, with a smile that didn't seem like it could go away.

Tom looked at the tv, letting out a slight giggle whenever someone would get hit on the head, or would play a trick on someone. It was Bill who made him watch these pointless cartoons, but he learned how to enjoy them. Tom turned his attention to Bill, who sat down beside him, Bill looked him in the eye, his smile still not disappearing.

Several minutes passed by, and the twins were still looking at each other. For the very first time in his life, Tom had no idea what was going on through his mind. Bill merely lied down on the bed, resting his head on Tom's lap, the way he had always done since they were little. He looked down at his brother as he watched cartoons he had seen millions of times before. Bill was a young spirit, had a unique childish quality that Tom knew was never gonna go away.

His younger half sat up, blocking Tom's view of the TV screen, and looked him straight in the eye. "Danke."

"What for?"

"For opening the door."

"Bu t I didn't open……"

"At the concert." He interrupted. "Thank you." Tom knew he had absolutely nothing to do with the relationship between Bill and Akira, But when his brother wrapped hs arms around him, embracing him in a hug like never before, he let it slide, something he had been doing for a while now.

"Do me a favor?" asked Bill, as he stood up from the bed and struggled to get something out of his pocket.

"What?"

"Help me fill out these papers."

"What is this? You need surgery again?"

"It's not for me. It's Akira."

"Don't you need her medical information or something?"

Bill pulled some more papers from his other pocket. "That's what these are for."

"Does she know you're doing this?"

"Let's just say I'm helping her." 'Why don't you ever give a straight up answer?'

"Well, help her yourself, 'cause it's my turn to disappear for a few hours." Tom was a little curious about this girl his brother was so crazy about. He wanted to know her better. He wasn't gonna trust just anyone with his little brother.

Akira sat quietly and perfectly still as Maya ran a brush through her long black curls. She hadn't told her good friend about her and Bill and she didn't plan to. No one ever questioned about what she was thinking about for some reason. Except for her always concerned friend. "You're pretty quiet. Something wrong?"

"Everything's……….just different."

"Different? Different how?" Akira slightly smiled, making Maya a little bit suspicious. Normally, when Akira didn't answer, she kept asking, knowing she would crack eventually. But she dropped the question, hearing someone knocking on the door.

A dreaded boy with baggy clothes came through the door, leaving Maya with her mouth open. "Is Akira here?"
