Chapter 21
He expected tears. He expected rage. But nothing. All Bill Kaulitz felt at this point was love. A love he had desired for so long, that could not be broken. He was shocked with himself. Never had he felt so empowered, so determined.
He rushed up the steps of the fire escape, knocking on an unfamiliar window. After a minute of waiting, a startled red-head appeared. "Bill? What are you doing here?"
"Maya, I need your help. And I need it fast."
"Yeah no problem.....but Bill? How did you know which house is mine?"
"I....I'm not sure...."

'Room 2707' she repeated inside her head. 'Room 2707'. She was concerned about this relationship. It ws strong, and she didn't want to take any part in ending it. 'Ah, here it is.' She slipped in the room key and saw about five or six suitcases fully packed. 'What a diva.' She stuck her head out in the hallway. "Ppppssssttttt! Nylai! Get over here and help me out, will ya?" The blonde girl rolled her eyes but followed obediently. Each girl took three suitcases, ans snuck out the back door of the hotel.
With the press of a button, she opened the trunk of her car and put in all of the suitcases. Nylai took a seat in the driver's seat while Maya sat beside her. "You get one scratch on this car and you're dead."
"Oh relax. I'm nineteen for crying out loud! I think I know a little more about driving than you do."
"Yeah, well, I'm trusting you. Don't make me regret this."
"Awwww! Well aren't you a sweetheart?"
"Yeah yeah, whatever. Just go. Bill isn't going to wait forever."

She leaned against her brother's gravestone, her mind entangled in thoughts. Tomorrow was the day. It was her big day. Her operation was to begin sometime in the morning, perhaps 9am. She breathed in, taking in the cold air, almost smelling her brother's cologne. Every second that went by, she could feel nerves trembling more and more. A silent fear came over her. She had a feeling. What if something went wrong? What if she loses all hope? What if Bill.....?
Wait. Bill? She didn't have a doubt about him. That warm feeling came over her when she thought of that voice. How smooth and gentle it was. How he she seemed to fit perfectly beneath him. How the sound of his breath put her under a hypnotic spell.
"I don't need eyes to see that you love me. And neither do you."
How true those words were. She didn't ever expect him to be so....aggressive. But she liked it. He was always there for her....since the second she met him....
'Bill won't be there,' she heard.
"What? What do you mean he won't be there?"
'Tomorrow for your operation. He won't be there.'
"What? Why?"
'I thought I told you not to ask questions.'
"Andy, don't be like that! Why won't Bill be there?"
'You'll find out. He's not leaving you if that's what you're thinking....'
"Then why else would he leave?"
'He'll be there when you need him.'
"But I need him there tomorrow!"
'I told you not to ask questions. Just trust me.'
"Andy, you KNOW I trust you......"
'Then don't question me.'
"Just.....at least tell me he's ok?"
'Nothing is wrong. In fact, he's doing this to be with you forever...'
"Fur immer?"
'Fur immer....'
"Andy, you still haven't told me if I'm in love or not."
'Don't worry about that. You'll get an answer.'
"But when Andy? When?"
'Do I have to keep reminding you to stop asking questions? Just relax. I told you I'll let ya know when it happens.'
"You haven't told me. Does that mean it's not Bill? It hasn't happened yet?"
'I'm not gonna remind you again, lil' sis. My god, you haven't changed a bit.'
"I know...but.....I just don't wanna get hurt again...."
'Get hurt? Oh, I never said Bill wouldn't hurt you....'
"What?!!" No answer. "Andy! Andy come back! Andy!!" But no answer in return.

Maya closed the door to Bill's door in the back seat, and directed to Nylai. "Ok, these are the directions to my family house. It's in New Hampshire so it's probably gonna take you...maybe two hours to et there?"
"Yeah, but why do I have to sit in the backseat?" complained Bill.
"Because! The back seat windows are tinted so no one can look inside."
"It's dark out! No one can see me anyways!"
"Hey! No whining! I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing it for you and for my little girl! Now you're gonna sit in the back seat and you're gonna like it! Got it?"
