The Embarrassment to End Them All

NORA:

7 YEARS LATER

I stretch my back a little bit, stifling a yawn. My scrubs rubbed up against me in a sort of comfort, and I leaned back in my chair. My 12-hour shift was almost over, and my co-worker looked over at me.

"Thats what you get for pulling that extra shift," she tuts, and I roll my eyes.

"It'll be worth it. I get more time off this way," I yawn. "Ugh, I need coffee," I groan. My co-worker laughs.

"Again, thats what you get for pulling an extra shift" she says in a sing-song voice. I lovingly smack her.

"Oh, shut up Diane," I mutter, giving her a sly smile. "I still get to go home in..." I check my watch. "10 minutes." She squints at me, the bags under her eyes making her look like an old raccoon.

"You shut up. I have..." she groans as she checks her own watch. "7 and a half more hours. Why did I take a night shift?" she asks me. I shrug.

"Beats me. Why would I know what's going on in your head?" I ask, and she smiles.

"I think you would faint if you were inside my mind," she said, and I laughed. I see the head nurse walk by us.

"Hey there, Nora," she greets, and I smile.

"Hi, Katie," I respond, and she smiles, then glares at Diane.

"Diane, get your feet off the desk," she barks, and Diane rolls her eyes at her. "Nora, you get off in 10, right?" she asks, and I nod. She jerks her head back towards the lockers. "You go on ahead, you've had a long shift. Have a great vacation, okay?" I feel my heart lift, and I gave her a huge smile.

"Thanks so much, Katie!" I chirp, and she gives me a smile, continuing to walk off to wherever she was going. Diane turns to me, her jaw dropped.

"What are you, some kind of temptress? She is pretty much the Nazi of this floor," she hisses, and I smile. I point at her feet.

"Well for one," I start. "I don't put my feet of the desk." Diane smacks me with her magazine as I stand up, and I yelp. Stretching one last time, I start walking towards the lockers. "I'll see you in a couple weeks!" I call, and I hear her grunt in reply. I smile, knowing that that was the best I was going to get out of her.

When I reach my locker I immediately enter in my combination. Yanking the lock open, it doesn't take long for me to swiftly change. I had a T-shirt under my scrub top, so all I really had to do was change into my pants. I shoved my scrubs into my backpack and making sure I had gathered everything, began making my way out.

I had gotten better at certain things. I took a couple cooking classes, and I can manage to boil water now without burning myself. My clumsiness has become more controllable now, so I wasn't stumbling over thin air now... just over every other object. Hey, it's an improvement. I gave up World of Warcraft 7 years ago.

As I pass Diane, she throws a ball at me, and I barely catch it. iHave fun, love. Fuck Gustav brainless for me. ;)/i. I roll my eyes, blushing slightly.

"Love you too hun," I call to her, and she ignores me. Peeking towards her, I could see her smile wickedly behind her magazine. Laughing, I continued walking down towards the hospital elevators. Some people never change. I slip into the elevator just as it closes.

"Hey Nora, leaving early?" I turn to see Laura there, and I laugh.

"Yeah, Katie let me go early," I told her, and she raises her eyebrows.

"You mean the Nazi Katie? What kind of dirt do you have on her?" she asked, and I shrugged.

"I guess she just likes me," I said, and she rolls her eyes.

"She doesn't like anyone," she retorts, and we both giggle. "You going on vacation with your hubby?" she asked, and I nod. "Dude, he better propose this time. Diane and I each lost $100 to Leon last time you know," she reminds me. I blush, remembering that.

"Yes, I know, you remind me once again..." I say, and she smirks. The elevator doors open, and Laura, myself, along with everyone else on the elevator walk out. We make our way across the lobby and into the warm August air. Laura and I bid farewell as we head in different directions; she worked in oncology, and I in the general hospital. She tells me to have fun and to be safe, and I laugh, thanking her. When I reach my car, I quickly slip inside. I hear something crunch under me, and I immediately stand back up, smacking my head into the car.

"Shit! Ouch!" I shout, holding my head. I hop out of the car, trying not to fall over. I look over to see what I had sat on. It was a piece of paper. Picking it up, I see that it had my name written on it. I opened it up, and a smile bloomed on my face.

Hey babe.

I'm sure you are on your way home right about now, and I bet that you just sat on this note. Just wanted to leave this here to say I love you and that I can't wait to see you tonight.

Love, Gusti.

I coo at the letter. Suddenly smashing my head into the car wasn't that big of a deal. I put the note on my dashboard before climbing back in, crunch free. I start the car, and I start driving home with my fingers tapping excitedly.

The last time I saw Gustav was 4 months ago. They just finished a world tour, and tonight they were coming back. I wasn't able to come because of work, but I managed to go to their opening act here in Germany. We were only able to spend a night together before they left for the other side of Germany. And trust me, that one night was spent well... we hardly slept, if you get my drift.

Sex with Gustav is... wow. Just wow. I almost passed out our first time because I was so nervous, and thank God I stayed conscious. Each time is slow and intense, pure love that is so beautiful it's amazing. There are really no words to describe it. Each time leaves me breathless.

Mom and the girls are doing great, as well. Fifi is now 21, and she is a linguist for the US Navy. Mom retired and moved to Hawaii, and on her spare time does some AIDS awareness and prevention in Africa with Fifi when she is on leave. Anna has graduated high school and is in college... kinda. Her dream is for her and her band to become famous. They are already well-known in California. She's in a two-year college getting a minor in business for the sake of our moms, and my own, peace of mine. This is her last year, and they already had a record deal. I told her that I better get backstage passes to their first concert.

I giddily turned into the driveway of Gustav and I's apartment. It's the same apartment that he had when I first moved to Germany, with a pieces here and there that suggested I lived there. I turned the ignition off, and grabbing my backpack, hurry out of the car. I didn't even have a chance to open the door, because it flies open for me. Squealing, I run into my boyfriends arms.

"Gusti!" I squeal, and he laughs as he hugs me back. We make our way inside the apartment before we kiss. He wraps his arms around my midsection and I cup his face, trying to get as close to him as possible.

"I've.. missed... you," I breathe in between kisses, and I feel Gustav smile against me.

"Stop," he whispers, and I smile. "Just kiss me," he says, and I do as he says. I press myself harder against him, and he grunts. My exhaustion from just minutes ago seemed to disappear, Gustav seemed to be pouring energy into me. He kisses me more forcefully, and I feel butterflies beat at my stomach. I knew where this was leading. I felt a huge stab of guilt as I pulled back.

"Gusti..." I gasp, and he kisses my neck.

"Hmmm?" he asks, and I bite my lip.

"I... I'm really sorry... But I really gotta pee," I squeak. He stops, looking at me.

"I guess thats my fault," he says guiltily, and I hold fingers out, making a small gap with my thumb and forefinger.

"Just a little," I say. I kiss him one last time before I make a desperate dash to the bathroom.

"I'll be right there!" I call, and he laughs as I slam the door. I rip my belt off and kick my pants completely off, relieving myself. I let out a relived sigh. I finished up my business and after flushing, washed my hands. I kicked my belt and pants over to a corner of the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror, tousling my hair a little. I felt my heart beat increase as I opened the door, creeping to our bedroom. I peek inside, and I see Gustav lying on the bed, shirtless. I blush a little as I skip over to him, and he laughs.

"Why do you still blush when you're with me?" he asks, and I shrug.

"I don't know... that's just who I am," I say, and he accepts this. I climb on the bed, and he pulls me over to him. He rests his head against mine for a moment.

"I missed you, Nora," he whispered, and I smiled. I kiss the tip of his nose, and he smiles. Slowly, he kisses me back, first so softly that it felt like butterflies fluttering against my lips, and they slowly build in intensity. He slowly lays me down on the bed, my heart beating faster and faster. I gasped a little as I felt his hands creep up my back, my skin tingling from his touch. He breaks away from he, breathing hard. I cup his face, my fingers getting tangled in his blonde hair. My face was still pretty red and my heart was in my throat. I gasped for breath, and Gustav leaned his head down on my, our noses bumping against each other.

"I love you," he breathes, and I smile. I nod.

"I know. I love you too," I say almost shyly. Gustav laughs at me, planting a soft kiss on my lips.

As our kiss became much more beautiful, this would be a good time for me to say that, the rest, is history.

Life is a game. Everyone is the players. We all get killed off at some point, some of us earlier than others. We all get in battles with other people: most likely all of us will experience the affects of war. We all gain experience points as we make it to each new level, we all "level up" as we grow older. We grow attached to certain characters, and sometimes they stay with you until the end of the game, and sometimes you need to go your separate ways. There are some things in life you can control and some things that you don't, just like a game. Part of it is programmed in and no matter how much we wish something won't happen, we can't change it. We are all given our hand, and it's up to us whether to complain over a bad hand, or try and make the best of it. It's better to think Wow, this is a crappy hand... let's see what I can do with this!/i rather than iUgh, shitty hand. I can't do anything with this! We just gotta do the best we can to survive and make it to that final battle.

"Do not look back, and grieve over the past

For it is gone;

Do not be troubled about the future,

For it has not yet come.

Live in the present, and make it so beautiful

That it will be worth remembering."

What Obscure Worlds!~The Embarrassment to End Them All, END

OMG YOU GUYS. IT IS OVER. *BAWLS*

Thanks to everyone who read and commented! I will be posting a new story very shortly - again, a pre-written FF so chapters will come out fast. But I want you all to chose! Below are three options, whichever gets the most votes will be what I post next.

1) Bleeding to Know I'm Alive(a Tom Kaulitz FF) Angel Chantelle Song is albino, homeless, and a orphan who can't seem to remember her past. She does remember, however, rotting in a musty orphanage for 3 years and having nobody adopt her, more than just because of her weird appearance and being 17; Angel is mute. In a world where ones voice is the key to success, is it possible for her to follow her dreams into a world of music?

2) When Birds Cry(a Bill Kaulitz FF) When doctors tell Bill Kaulitz that he has a cyst on his vocal cords, the band wastes no time in prepping the young singer for surgery. A successful operation suddenly turns sour when Tokio Hotel is faced with a horrid reality; Bill Kaulitz has forever lost the ability to sing.
With no intentions on replacing Bill, Tokio Hotel is forced to break up, an Bill is thrown into a world that is very much different from the world of a rock star, and he finds that everything he thought he knew was just a mirage. A suicide attempt and a hospital admission later, a girl with the voice of an Angel nurses Bill back into sanity. Bonded by their passion of music, Bill frees Tziporah from her parent's strangling leash, gives her a microphone, and together they give each other their voices the wings to soar.

3) A Single Facade Bill and Tom move to a new school just in time to join the terror of their new town of the serial killer known as Lamia. Lilibeth has always had a failing memory, but she seems to be loosing entire days when the new school year starts. Lilibeth and Bill begin to build a romantic bond, while Tom begins to chase after a mysterious girl who looks disturbingly alike to Lilibeth. When a friend is dragged into Lamia's clutches, Bill and Tom dig up a horrifying discovery: Lamia is connected to both Bill and Tom's dearly beloved in a dearly deadly way

Let me know in the reviews okay!
