"Hey Eddie! Miss me?" I smiled when I got back to the hotel.

"Your company is always missed, Miss Rachel." He smiled warmly.

"Awww... Thanks." I gave him a hug.

"If you do not mind me asking, where did Miss happen to be last night? I am sorry if I am intruding, you do not have to answer."

"Nah, it's cool Eddie. Well, last night I was out having dinner with my friend and her boyfriend - and his friends."

"How come Miss did not return last night? The hotel manager was worried."

"I fell asleep over there."

"Oh. Well I am glad you had fun."

"Yeah. If you could call it that."

"Pardon?"

"Nothing, never mind."

"Ok."

"See ya later Eddie!" I skipped off to the elevator with my shopping bags in hand. I smiled to myself; this day wasn't turning out so badly considering the unexpected wake up destination. Once I got in to my room I flopped onto the sofa and picked up the TV remote, '...here is Rachel Cooper getting out of a car in front of the hotel where Tokio Hotel are confirmed to be staying, and here is Bill Kaulitz giving her what appears to be his jacket. The two entered the hotel together in a couple-y manner and rumors are that Rachel didn't come out 'till the morning...' Oh my God. Me and Bill? Why? How did these people know where I was? '...Bill is also seen here with another girl, could he be in two relationships at once? We could not confirm an interview with Rachel Cooper but until then, stay tuned. Coming up next: Lady Gaga about her rise to fame. Perez exclusive on the...' Blah blah blah. Bloody fucking hell! Couldn't a guy and girl just be friends these days? No, I guess not. I picked up my phone just as Tom started ringing me, "Hello?"

"Hey Rachel."

"Um, hi?" What did he want?

"Hey, I was just wondering..." He paused.

"What?"

"Are you gonna be coming to our concert the week after next?"

"Um, yeah I guess, why?"

"Really?"

"Yeah, Bill invited me."

"Okay, cool."

"Why?"

"No reason."

"Um, ok?"

"Well, bye!"

"Bye?" He left me with the dial tone. That was eerie and random. Just as I was putting my phone back, Emma started ringing me, "Hey Emma."

"Rachel are you and Bill Kaulitz in a relationship?"

"What?"

"Are you dating Bill?"

"No, Evie is!"

"Well what the hell were you doing at his hotel last night?"

"I was having dinner with Evie and Tokio Hotel?"

"Why?"

"What do you mean, why? Evie invited me to have dinner and get to know her boyfriend."

"Fine, but why didn't you leave until morning?"

"What's with the questions Emma?"

"I've had everyone from TV to teen magazines ringing up and requesting interviews about you and Bill. Now answer the question! Why didn't you leave until morning?"

"Um, because I fell asleep?"

"Oh good God, Rachel! What's wrong with you?"

"What?"

"Now they've twisted everything to make it look like you and Bill slept together last night!"

"But we didn't!"

"Yeah, try telling them that."

"I'm sorry!"

"Why are you apologizing?"

"I don't know what else to do!"

"Get your act together and think next time you want to stay out all night with a bunch of guys!"

"Ugh!" I hung up. So much for a good day. I massaged my temples and sighed, what to do now?

* * *

"She's gonna be at the concert!" Tom announced.

"Yeah, so?" Georg flopped on the couch.

"Rachel's coming to the concert!"

"She doesn't like you." Georg informed a giddy Tom.

"That's what you think."

"No, that's what I know, she knows, Bill knows, everyone knows, Tom she doesn't like you."

"No one can not like me. I'm Tom Kaulitz."

"Rachel. Doesn't. Like. You."

"She will."

"How do you know?"

"I know..."

"That usually means he doesn't know a thing." Bill stated.

* * *

"...yeah, and they reckon I'm going out with Bill. Oh my God, Evie, I need to crawl under a rock for five years or get into the Witness Relocation Program. Help me!"

"Hey, it's fine. You know and I know that you're nothing like what they say and that's all that matters. Screw the media."

"But-"

"Rachel, they will get over this. They're desperate to make anyone look bad. You'll be fine."

"Thanks Evie."

"Anytime." I sighed and fell back onto my bed, phone in hand. "So anything new with you and Bill?"

"Rachel, it's only been two hours since I told you about me and Bill last night, I don't think anything new has happened."

"Well I never know with you two. You guys are just so randomly perfect for each other."

"Thanks." I could tell she was grinning from ear to ear. "Oh, hey, I gotta go! Bill just got back..."

"Oh fine... Have fun!"

"Hmmm..."

"I don't want to know what you're thinking..."

"I think it's best if you don't."

"Oh ew!"

"Haha, ok, I really gotta go-" I heard her squeal and Bill's voice in the background.

"Shit, calm down you two."

"Sorry Rachel! Evie has to go now." Bill's words were cut off by laughter.

"Bye guys." I hung up. Well at least they were happy. I pulled out my laptop and logged in, maybe there would be something remotely interesting on the World Wide Web... I pulled on my headphones and played 'This Is War' by 30 Seconds to Mars. I typed in 'Tokio Hotel' on Google... Hmmm... Their official website? Yeah, sure, whatever. I clicked on it, their homepage just had news about their upcoming concerts and tour dates. I looked along the bottom... Tom's Blog? I clicked on it and cringed slightly when a huge photo of him came up. I scrolled down, many, many videos. This guy had way too much time on his hands if he had time to look up all these videos. I had to hand it to the guy, he had an impeccable taste in cars. I laughed when I read his comments about Gustav and Georg but froze when I realized who this was. I quickly closed the tab and went on another website. Shit. I needed to clear my head and push any thoughts of Tom out. Ick. I pushed my head under my pillow and sighed.

The next few days after that were really boring, I didn't get to see Evie for a while, good news was that the director for Unforgettable had decided that we would spend another month or two here for filming so I got to stay at the hotel! Good thing too, because I didn't know what I would do without Eddie! But as predicted, the paparazzi returned soon after my little one nighter at Tom's place and I was restricted to my room. I would get up at 8am, get ready, leave my room at about quarter past, Eddie would have a taxi waiting and I would go straight to the studio - I never uttered a single word to the reporters. Emma was really happy with me and I guess I was too but there was something missing. I felt as though I had nothing to do besides work and, to me, that seemed pretty tragic. It was 2am but I was restless and I needed someone to talk to so I rang Evie. "Evie, are you awake?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

"I can't sleep."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know."

"Ok, well what do you wanna talk about?"

"Do you remember when we were little and we swore one of us would marry Rob?"

"Rob? Oh! Rob! Yeah, that was a bit tragic. He wasn't even that nice! He bust our sand castle! Remember?"

"Oh yeah." I didn't know why we were talking about past crushes or sandcastles but it felt good to talk to her again, remind myself that we were still best friends.

"Hey, do you remember Lance?"

"Your first boyfriend?" How could I forget him? He put Evie through a whole heap of bullshit.

"Yeah, that jerk! I swear he had 4 litres of gel in his hair!"

"Yeah, but you know you loved it back then."

"I know! Ew! Oh my gosh! Do you remember Sam?"

"Please! Not Sam!" Sam was my first serious crush, looking back, I don't know why.

"Yes Sam."

"What about him?"

"How the hell could you like him?!" She laughed.

"Maybe I thought there was something... Um, different about him?"

"Like...?"

"I don't know! Something!"

I could hear her chuckling in the background. I sighed.

"Evie?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"Being such an amazing friend." I smiled.

"Aww, you're welcome!"

"Evie, I think I can sleep now."

"Ok, well if you ever need to talk, I'm here."

"Thanks, 'night."

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight Rachel." Bill mumbled into the phone.

"Aw sorry Bill! Did I wake you?"

"No, Evie did."

"I'm sorry Billi!" I heard her laugh.

"Yeah, goodnight you two." I shook my head and hung up. I smiled, they were so cute together. It made me happy to see Evie so happy, she deserved it after all her screwed up relationships in the past. I didn't want to sleep now, I didn't know why but I just didn't feel like it. I crawled out of bed and stepped out onto the balcony, it was freezing but I felt warm in my singlet and shorts. I felt alone, like I was in the eye of the storm, unaffected by everything happening around me. Chaos left me unscathed and I had no-one but myself to depend on. I lay on the lounge chair and stared at the stars.

'RACHEL IT'S EVIEEEE!!! EVIE EVIE EVIE EVIE EVIE!!!' Evie's personalized ring tone woke me up. I answered it, stumbling and almost falling flat on my face on the way. "Hello?"

"Good morning!!!"

"'Morning Evie, what's up?"

"Ok, well Bill and I have something important to announce and Bill wants to wait to say it when everyone's around so can you make it to dinner tomorrow night?"

"Um, sure, where?"

"It's this little restaurant a few minutes away from your hotel."

"What's it called?"

"I think it's something like 'Bella Rosa' or something. It's got Bella in the name."

"Um, yeah, sure I guess. What time?"

"Around about 7-ish..."

"Ok. Is it, like, a huge deal?"

"Yes! I mean, yeah, yeah it is. So dress up!" She commanded.

"Um, ok?"

"Ok, cool."

"Anything else?"

"Well the reservation is under Bill's name and I think that's everything you need to know."

"Ok."

"See you there! Bye!" Evie chirped.

"See ya, bye." I went over to my wardrobe and pulled out my Armani dress, tights and black peep-toe heels. I threw them on my bed, sighed, and dragged myself into the shower. I stood under the warm water for about twenty minutes before getting out. When my hair was dry enough, I threw on my outfit and glanced at myself in the mirror. Yep, this was it, perfection. I smiled, I loved this outfit! If this thing tomorrow night was that important I guessed I could at least make an effort.

(Claps for me, I just found out about that line thingy! ^) Guten Morgen everybody! Here is chapter 10, very quick, I guess. I wrote it all in one day (yay! Pop open a bottle of sparkling grape juice! :))!!! If you find any mistakes, please tell me because with this chapter I kind of wrote it without really writing it, closed my eyes and posted it. So I'm winging it, I guess :) (Anybody else seen The Love Guru? I don't care what everyone else says - it. Is. HILARIOUS. :)) Well, I swear that something WILL happen in chapter 11! Hmmmm... Wonder what...
