CHAPTER 10

We're at the concert now. We ended up walking around randomly for half an hour before coming to the Roxy Stadium where the concert is being held.

Now with our new tickets, we're on the front row seats, and will meet the guys again later on after the show.

I hear a few twangs of electric guitar, and the curtains on the stage sweep away to the sides. I can tell by the first few bars of the music that the first song is 'Ready, Set, Go!'

I listen to the lyrics Bill is singing;

"Too young to live a lie,

Look into my eyes,

Ready set go it's time to run,

The sky is changing, we are one,

Together we can make it while the world is crashing down,

Don't you turn around."

This was one of my favourite songs by the band.

After 2 hours of jumping around and singing, I was exhausted. How on earth can the guys do this all the time under those stage lights?

The last song has ended by now, it was their latest and most popular song 'Automatic'. Everyone else starts to leave so I make my way to the front with my friends, heading towards the VIP door. After showing the guards our passes we were allowed in. There were 3 other girls with my group, they'd all payed a fortune for those tickets. I guess knowing the band has its perks. Free backstage passes!

The other girls were bouncing up and down, squealing their heads off. Just I was getting annoyed enough to hit them, Bill, Tom, Georg and Gustav came through a side door into the room we were waiting in.

Tom slid into a seat beside Char and just like they did before, they started flirting. Bill sat himself in the seat next to me.

"They're at it again." I say, smothering my giggles. "Bet you $5 they're together by the time we leave."

"I'm not going to take that bet, I know that I'll lose."Bill said, laughing with me.

Cara was talking with Lucy and Gustav, who looked oddly close.

"Do you think there's something that Lucy and Gustav aren't telling us?" I say loudly to Bill, purposely making my voice loud enough for them to hear.

Lucy blushed and Gustav smiled.

"I asked Lucy out this morning when we were talking in the bookstore. She said yes." Gustav explained.

"And you never told me?" I squawk at Lucy.

"We wanted to see your reaction when you all found out." Lucy smirked.

I realise then that I'd fallen out of my seat in shock. I scrambled back into my seat with a sheepish grin.

"What is it with you and falling over?" Georg says, speaking up.

"It's not like I can help it." I mutter sullenly.

Changing the subject, I call over to Tom, "You asked her out yet?"

"Yep." Tom calls back, his arm now around Char's shoulder.

The other 3 girls in the room seemed to wake up from their shock of Tokio Hotel knowing us. They all crowded around Bill, asking for his autograph, completely blocking me out.

5 minutes later we had to go. Bill had been hounded by the fan girls for the rest of the time, so we didn't get to speak. Tom, Char, Lucy and Gustav just talked to each other, and Georg was talking to Rose, Cara and The Doctor.

Just as I was slipping out the door, Bill gave me a quick message.

"Sorry we didn't get to talk more." He whispered. "Meet me outside the Roxy in half an hour."

"'Kay." I whisper back.

Half an hour later saw me at the Roxy doors.

Bill came up behind me, wearing plain clothes with his hair flat, no longer spiked up.

"Hiya. Sorry about earlier."

"It's ok. You couldn't exactly help it."

"Still." Bill gave a small shrug. "Walk with me?"

"Sure."

We set off down the street, shops on either side of us, cars speeding down the road.

"I know we don't know each other that well, and I don't mind if you say no, but will you go out with me?" Bill rambled, speaking almost too fast for me to understand.

" Ok."

"Oh, well that's ok, I understand that you don't want too – wait, what?"

"I said ok." I was laughing at this point.

"Really?"

In answer I just rolled my eyes and slid my hand into his. He had a small, proud smile on his face.

3 years later we're still together, and Bill proposes.

Hopefully, I'll get my fairytale ending after all.
