Title: Country Mix-Up

Chapter 25

Disclaimer: I don't own Tokio Hotel, or any of the songs that I may use by other country stars such as Trace Adkins, Tom McGraw, or Kenny Chesney. They are their songs, and I have claim to them other than owning them on CD or MP3.

However I do own Annaed Sparza, she's my country star, she's five six, has bright silvery white hair, bright gold eyes, a skinny body and a tan complexion.

Authoress Note: Ok, here goes chapter twenty five!

For those of you who do not know, the guys on my banner are some of the boys from Escape the Fate! Johnnie, Joe, and Mike. Annaed is the woman, obviously, and you all should know Tokio Hotel by NOW. Lol.

….

"She's beautiful in her simple little way

She don't have too much to say when she gets mad

She understands she don't let go of anything

Even when the pain gets really bad

I guess I should have been more like that."

Annaed strummed the guitar softly, thanking Tom in her thoughts for showing her how to play a little. She did more with a guitar now than she did weeks ago.

She was sitting on the bed in her room, cross legged and singing one of her older songs.

"You had it all for a pretty little while

And somehow you made me smile when I was sad

You took a chance on a bruised and beaten heart

And then you realized you wanted what you had

I guess I should have been more like that,"

This song made her want to cry, or punch something.

Thankfully she kept a soft frown on her mouth instead.

"I should have held on to my pride

I should have never let you lie

I guess you got what you deserve

I guess I should have been more like her."

The door opened but she paid no mind to it, concentrating on singing.

"Forgiving you well she's stronger than I am

You don't look much like a man from where I'm at

It's plain to see desperation showed it's truth

You love her as she loves you with all she has

I guess I should have been more like that,"

Her eyes, which were shut, opened slowly and looked around the room. She didn't see anything so she shut them again and bent her head over the guitar again.

"I should have held on to my pride

I should have never let you lie

I guess you got what you deserve

I guess I should have been more like her."

Annaed sighed and kept strumming, moving her long fingers and the pick slowly.

"She's beautiful in her simple little way."

When Annaed put the guitar to the side she stretched and opened her eyes.

She jumped; Bill was sitting on one of the chairs alongside the wall, watching her with hooded eyes. She couldn't read them, and felt she didn't really want to.

When he noticed that Annaed had finally noticed him he stood and walked over to her.

Annaed looked over at him, lifting an eyebrow in question.

"Somethin' you wan'?" she asked.

"Yea." He answered, sitting beside her. "Why did you run out a couple of weeks ago?"

Annaed sighed and closed her eyes. "I don' really wan' to talk abou' tha' Bill."

He lifted an eyebrow but she didn't see it. "Why?" he asked.

"I's a tender subject… Bill please drop i'." Annaed asked him nicely.

"No, I want to know why you would run out. I care about you Annaed, and when I care about someone and they run out for no complete reason I need to know why." He told her, leaning forward a bit.

Annaed opened her eyes. "Bill, i's a reason that I have buried deep within me, I don' wan' to bring i' up. Leave i'!" she shouted, getting up and walking away from him to the other side of the room.

Bill came after her, grabbing her from behind and turning her around. "Annaed tell me!" he said loudly.

Annaed turned her head away, trying not to cry. "No! I' hurts too much!" she yelled.

Bill blinked. "What hurts too much?" he asked softly.

Annaed shook her head, lifting a hand and moving some hair out from in front of her eyes. "No, don' ask again Bill." She broke away from his grip and walked towards the door of the room, opening it and striding out.

Bill stayed in the middle of the room watching as she turned the corner and disappeared.

He sighed and walked out of the room as well, going to find Mike, or one of the brothers. Maybe they would tell him why she acted weird now.

He knew part of it was because he had said her name… but why would that scare her?

…..

Mike was playing a game on the entertainment system when Bill found him.

When he entered the room Mike looked up and then back to the game. "Wassup man?" he asked.

Bill sighed and sat beside Mike. "Why is Annaed avoiding a particular subject with me?" he asked.

Mike paused the game immediately. "Wait, tell me what subject it is first and then I might tell you why." He answered.

Bill told him about what happened between he and Annaed, excluding details of course, and then stopped.

"Ah… well, she would have to tell you that." Mike said, shifting his eyes back to the game.

Bill frowned.

….

Annaed sighed as she drank the rest of her NOS, she felt a little better.

The memories Bill dredged up made her want to curl up in a ball and cry, but she pushed that part of herself away and locked it away.

She went around another corner to go to the rooms.

Only to stop dead at the person walking towards her.

Her throat closed up and her eyes widened to impossible size.

The guy stopped and smiled at her. "Annaed." He crooned.

She stepped back, eyes darting back and forth to look for an escape route.

The guy stepped closer, raising his arms. "Annaed, I know I made a mistake, but hear me out." He said slowly.

Annaed shook her head, keeping her eyes always on the tall guy.

He frowned, getting closer again, and then reached out to grab her arm.

Once his fingers closed around her wrist Annaed started thrashing. "Le' go of me!" she yelled, hitting at his hand with the empty NOS bottle.

His face writhed into a mask of distaste. "Stop hitting me!" he hissed.

"No! MIKE! JOE! JOHNNIE! PLEASE! HELP!" Annaed called out, tears streaming from her eyes.

Her assailants face went white but he kept his grip on Annaed's wrist. He started to drag her down the hall.

A door opened to her left and Georg's face appeared, he looked worried.

Annaed nearly sighed in relief. "Georg! Please help me." She cried, turning to him and trying to pull away from the guy.

Georg looked at the guy and stepped forward. "Let her go." He said, reaching forward.

"No! We need to talk whether she likes it or not." The guy snarled.

"Le' me go Aaaron!" Annaed yelled.

Georg took Annaed in his arms and grabbed the other guy's wrist in his hand, moving the bones together painfully.

Aaaron kept his grip on Annaed though.

Two more doors opened, Gustav appeared and then Joe and Johnnie.

Both of the brothers saw Aaaron and went red. "You!" they yelled, running towards him and jumping on him.

Aaaron lost his grip on Annaed when he went down.

Joe and Johnnie hit him, and kept hitting him, Aaaron yelled out and tried to hit them back but got a fist to the nose for it.

Joe picked him up and held his arms behind his back as Johnnie started kicking him then.

Annaed cried in Georg's chest, not noticing the brutality of the men behind her.

Georg and Gustav stared at the three, unmoving in surprise.

Another door opened and Bill and Mike came out with Tom trailing behind them.

By this time hotel security had come and was trying to pry Joe and Johnnie off of Aaaron. They were mostly unsuccessful.

Mike saw Aaaron and his face darkened. "What the hell are you doing here?" he yelled, walking to the three men with the two staff members around them.

Aaaron was a bloody pulp; he couldn't have spoken if he wanted to.

Finally Mike helped the security pull Joe and Johnnie off of the quivering mass that used to be Aaaron. The two brothers fought them but then settled down.

Annaed turned to look and instantly hid her face again, not wanting to see.

All was quiet for about a minute before one of the security guys held up a walkie talkie and talked into it for a moment.

When he was finished he turned to Joe and Johnnie, recognizing them and then sighing.

"All of you need to stay here with us until the police and ambulance get here." He stated.

Annaed felt gentle hands on her shoulders, turning her around.

She opened red rimmed eyes and looked into Bill's face, her face crumbled further and she collapsed on the floor. She curled up and cried harder, scared beyond thought.
