COME CLEAN

Two Weeks Later

"Bill," I moaned as his mouth ran down my body, leaving a trail of kisses. When he reached my slightly swelling belly he looked back up at me. A soft smile was on his face and he winked at me. "Quit being a goof and get up here and kiss me."

As soon as the words left my mouth his lips were back on mine. I pushed my hips up to his, closing my eyes in pleasure. I kissed his jaw and down his neck. My fingers brushed over his body. This was the last time I would be seeing him for a few weeks. They were going on tour once again. Humanoid had been released last week and they had already post-poned the tour to give Bill some time to recover from the honeymoon.

Soon our clothes were lying on the floor once again. Bill sucked on my neck as his hands played with my breasts. I moaned into his hair, begging him. He teased me a little more before finally slipping in. I pushed myself to him as much as I could until absolutely no space existed between our bodies. I threw my head back in pleasure before Bill captured my lips with his once again.

We lay together, enjoying being in the other's arms. I knew without him, I would be a mere shell. He was the whole reason behind my existence. My whole heart, soul, and very being was now his. Bill's hand brushed my braided hair back. "I love you."

Those three simple words that he tells me often still had the power to stop my heart. I looked up at his smiling face and made a face. His gentle laughter made me giggle myself. While in his arms, everything was right. "I love you too Billa."

He kissed the tip of my nose and squeezed me in his arms. "You'll keep safe for me, right?" He looked me directly in the eyes.

I nodded, "Of course."

"Good." He pulled me tighter to him. His breathing tickled my ear, sending shivers down my spine. Eventually his breathing evened out and his arms slackened. I relaxed and let myself fall asleep in his arms once again.

I kissed him again as he stepped up into the bus. "Be careful! I love you! Call me after your show!"

"I will babe. Take it easy; I'll see you in a bit. I love you too." With that his dark head disappeared and only Gustav was left.

"See you Star," he gave me a big hug. "I'll miss you. Don't worry, I'll watch out for him."

"Thanks Gusti. Do me a favor?"

He smiled, "Anything."

"Watch out for yourself." I winked. "We need our teddy bear to be healthy too."

He grinned, "I always do. Goodbye."

"Bye." I smiled softly. Seeing them off was always hard. The rain dripped off of the umbrella I held over my head. I waved as the bus drove away along with Amy, Lacy, and Andreas. "Would you guys like to come in and warm up?" I asked.

They all nodded kindly and we walked up the steps. The puddles were silently growing and I sighed. This rain was getting ridiculous. We all sat down and I poured everyone some coffee. Andreas winked, he always knew how to cheer me up. Soon they were all cracking jokes again and all of us were laughing.

(GUSTAV"S POV)

We all sat around on the bus, laughing. Georg was making stupid jokes about Lady Gaga's newest obsession. Like seriously? Old lady floral outfits? Are you kidding me? And the face mask! Bill was literally rolling on the floor with tears streaming down his cheeks.

I looked out the window and frowned at the dark clouds and drizzle that distorted the world outside the windows. "What's up Gustav?" Tom's voice caught my attention.

I looked at him and shrugged. "Just the weather. It's being so weird."

He looked out the window as well and sighed. "That it is. Wonder what's gonna happen to that outdoor concert we are supposed to go to next week if this continues."

"Don't say that!" Tom punched me in the arm. "It will clear up." Yet the look on his face was skeptical.

"Dude!" Bill called, slightly out of breath. "Why are you guys looking so glum over there? Get your asses over here and join in!" In his hand was a bottle of vodka.

"Bill," Tom rolled his eyes, grabbing the clear bottle out of his twin's hands, "you know how much of a lightweight you are."

"Give it back Tom!" Bill reached out for it, but Tom pulled it farther away. "TOM!" Bill pouted. Uh-oh. Tom could never resist Bill's pout.

"Fine," sure enough, the dread-headed man gave in. "But at least share a bit."

I ran up the stairs, going to grab my newest pair of jeans to show Lacy. I swung the door open and fell on my face as I tripped over something lying on the floor. Bill's makeup case. Shit! He never goes without it! I cursed and got up, giving myself a quick check. I hadn't hit my belly and I sighed in relief. The baby should be ok.

I thundered down the stairs and Amy met me at the bottom. "Are you OK? We thought we heard you fall." Her eyes were inspecting me.

"I'm fine," I gave her a smile. "Bill forgot his makeup. Do you guys mind if I meet them somewhere so I can give it to him. They can't be that far."

"Of course not!" Andreas stood, "Need me to drive you?"

"I can drive myself. Thanks though." I saw his eyes flicker to the window but shrugged it off. Nothing I hadn't driven in before.

"Be careful, ok?" Lacy looked me directly in the eyes. "The roads aren't very nice."

"I will." I grinned. "I'll be back shortly. You guys know where everything is, make yourselves at home." I grabbed my coat and an umbrella and got into my car. The weather was horrible! I turned on the radio and the news was on. There was chatter about a car accident so I switched the station. Stupid kids, the weather gets bad and they don't know how to control their vehicles.

I bopped my head along to the music with a soft smile on my face. I grabbed my phone and dialed Bill's number. After the fourth ring he answered, "Hello?" His voice was intoxicating.

"Bill," I sighed.

"What did you miss me already?" Laughter was evident in his voice. I grinned, shaking my head.

"Of course honey."

(BILL'S POV)

I laughed as Star giggled on the other end of the phone. I missed her so much already, I wasn't sure how I was going to survive. "Are you driving?" My voice became serious. I knew how bad the roads are.

There was a slight hesitation before she answered. "You forgot your makeup."

"Damn it!" I thought I had forgotten something. "I guess I'll have to go buy some before tomorrow night."

"Where are you guys?" She asked.

"Don't you dare drive to meet us." My voice commanded before I even thought about it. In this weather, she was bound to get hurt.

"To late Bill," her voice was light. "Just tell me where to meet you and I will be there."

"Star," my voice was strained, "are you insane?"

"About you? That would be a yes." She was still smiling, I could hear it in her voice.

I sighed and gave her a place to meet. I wanted it to be as soon as possible for us so she didn't have to drive to far. I said goodbye and hung up the phone. "She's calling you already?" Tom asked, looking at his phone.

"Ya, I forgot some stuff." I grinned, knowing they would tease me later. "I gotta go talk to Jost and the driver, be right back."

(TOM'S POV)

I smirked, "He is constantly forgetting something, eh?"

"Yes, every time we go on tour!" Georg laughed. "I swear he spends more money than we make when we go on tour for the things he forgets!"

Gustav chuckled in the corner, shaking his head. A bottle of Yeager was in his hand and he looked entirely relaxed. "I think its because he is just so caught up with his wife."

"Shut it Mr.!" I chucked a pillow at his head. "And I think you've had enough booze."

I took the bottle from his hands and took a gulp. It burned, but in a good way. The door between the front and our lounge area opened and Bill stepped out with a smile. "Stretching break in fifteen minutes!"

As Bill walked towards us the brakes of the bus squealed over the sound of our music. Bill lurched forward and was flung to the floor. Panic set in as I realized our whole world was turning upside down. I wrapped my arms around my head, wishing I could see the others.

(STAR'S POV)

The rain started to come down worse. It was getting difficult to see even though the wipers were on high. I looked over at the clock and grinned, about fifteen more minutes. I looked up and saw something huge in the distance. Slowing, I tried to distinguish it. Through the pouring rain, it was difficult.

The closer I got, the harder my heart started to pound. It couldn't be. No way it could be. Red and blue lights flashed over the scene. At least four vehicles, including a semi and a bus lying across the road. I came to a complete stop, noticing the emergency vehicles were just arriving. I flung off my seatbelt and called Bill once again. No answer. I ran outside towards the bus. Not my husband!
