Chapter 18

"Sammy," Ben's soft voice was in my head, "Sammy, wake up!"

Slowly my eyes opened and were met with my little brothers. "Hey buddy!" I sat up, "What are you doing here?"

"Mommy brought me over! I miss you." He hugged me tightly. "Bill said it was ok."

I grinned and hugged him back. "It is, and I've missed you too buddy. It's been forever! How's life at home?"

The conversations I held with Ben would surprise most. He was so mature compared to other kids his age. I guess that's what growing up how we did does to kids. "It's good. I like that daddy is moving back in soon." His eyes lit up and my heart fluttered. That IS big news for our family. "And Ariel has a new boyfriend. He is nice, he lets me play with them!"

"Well that's good. Are they coming over later?"

He looked thoughtful. "I don't know."

"Well," I tried to get out of bed, "Guess we will have to see won't we. Now let's go find Bill." But Ben had different ideas. He wouldn't move and I couldn't get up. "What are you doing squirt?" I tried to tickle him but he squirmed.

"You're supposed to stay here and rest." The authority in his voice shocked me. I relaxed, trying to figure out why he would be giving me such an order.

Before to long, I found out. Bill walked into the room, caring a tray full of breakfast. "Morning sweetie," he bent down and placed a soft kiss on my lips.

I smiled into the kiss, "Hey baby. Mmm, that smells delicious!"

"Just for you," he chuckled as I started to munch on the strawberries.

Both of the guys watched me with wide eyes. I stared back and eventually said, "Fine, help yourself." They dug in, stealing all the strawberries. Yet most of the pineapple was still there. "What? Are you guys fruitists or something?" I pretended to be shocked.

"What do you mean Sammy?" Ben asked me, slightly confused. The look on his young face was adorable. Bill rolled his eyes with a smile.

"You left out the pineapple!" I gasped. "The poor fruit must feel so left out." I quickly shoved a piece in my mouth, savoring the taste.

"You know what, I think you're right Star," Bill helped himself to a piece. "They must feel awfully lonely on that plate all by themselves."

Ben giggled as we fed each other. "I want some too!" Bill gave him a piece, which my little brother gobbled up quickly.

We spent over an hour, sitting on the bed talking. I snuggled closer to Bill, kissing his neck lightly. He held me tight to him, as close as possible. Ben sat close, chatting away. He didn't mind when Bill and I would share quick kisses. Then he asked Bill about the tour and how he got into music. I never knew Ben wanted to do stuff in music. The talk let me in to the world I had been missing.

All to soon we had to get up, "How about you and Bill go play," I suggested.

"Ok! Come on Billa!" Ben tugged the raven-haired man's hand.

Bill looked at me and I mouthed, "Shower." He nodded and walked off with a big smile. I headed for the shower, not wanting to waste any time I could be spending with my family.

"Star!" Gustav wrapped me in his huge arms. "I missed you young one!"

I hugged him back and started pounding his back. "Gus, can't. Breathe." I gasped as all the air was forced from my lungs.

He let go quickly, "Oh god, I'm sorry!" He looked me up and down. "You look, gaunt." A frown claimed his features.

"I know, but not for long. If Bill feeds me like this every day I'm gonna be fat before long!" I laughed.

"Eww!" Tom walked up, covering his ears. "I don't need to know what you and Bill do in your 'recreational' time."

I slapped his arm, "You pervert. You wish I was talking about that."

"Damn," he sighed, pretending to be sad. "You caught me."

"Tom," Amy sighed, "You are a tool."

Her straight face was pretty impressive. Tom pouted, "Hey! That's not nice." She kissed him and he instantly perked up. "But I guess I can forgive you."

"Best, else you weren't getting any tonight." My jaw dropped in shock that little Amy said that. She simply stuck out her tongue and giggled as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What?" Georg jumped up from where he was sleeping. "What the fuck is going on here?" Panic was evident in his voice.

"Hey Geo!" I jumped on top of him, making him become even more confused. My good mood was only getting better seeing everyone I loved. "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

"Noooo," he moaned, clutching his head.

I giggled in his ear and asked innocently, "Did someone drink a little to much last night?"

"Gus, get this animal off of me! I'm dyyyyyiiiiiiinnnnggggggg!" Poor Geo squirmed on the couch.

Gustav threw a pillow at him, "Grow up."

Our dark-haired friend lay there for a while. After a few moments I poked him with a finger. "Are you still alive?" I received a growl in response. With a laugh I sat down on top of his feet. Bill sat down beside me.

I looked up to find everyone staring at me. The only ones missing were the twins, Lacy, and Andi. I blushed, looking down again. Finally mom spoke up, "I'm so happy we are all together today." Just like that, the ice was broke and everyone started speaking at once.

Georg's head came up, "I think I'm paralized! I can't feel my legs!" He paused for a second. "Oh wait, it's because two dumbasses are squishing me!"

I gently slid onto the floor, giggling. "Was that a fat joke?"

"Never! Well, maybe about Bill, but never you." Bill stuck his tongue out at his friend, who returned the gesture. I rolled my eyes, this never got old. I grabbed my husband's hand and entwined our fingers. Our big, dysfunctional family was together once again. In the locket around my neck Tyler was with us too.

Two Months Later

"So Tom, I hear the famous player is getting married. Is this true?" The reporter asked the dreaded guitarist.

One of the rare blushes graced his cheeks. "I never thought I'd say this until I was old and gray, but yes I am."

"Well, there you have it people, Tom Kaulitz is getting married!" Some of the crowd booed but most cheered, drowning out those others. "We all know that Bill is already married, so now we are wondering, who's next?" This question was directed towards the G's.

Gustav remained silent as usual so Georg took over. "Gus here, he has a pen pal." Those brown eyes winked towards the cameras. "He met her at one of our concerts a while ago. She's from Canada. As for me, I'm still playing the field. So anyone who is looking, come look me up!"

I had to cover my mouth to stifle my laughter. That man just didn't give up. I shook my head, wondering how he could announce that on national television. He sure had guts. As they walked off, he was the last one in. Many girls had stopped him along the way. "Wow Geo, how was that for ya." I stuck my tongue out at him.

He grinned like a kid in a candy shop, holding out his hands. Inside them papers were trying to fall away. I took a quick look and they were full of phone numbers and names. I shook my head. "You're insane, do you know that?" He just grinned stupidly.

Just then Jost came up. "What the hell Georg! You just advertised yourself, do you know how bad the paps are gonna be now?"

"Calm down Dave," I patted the taller man's shoulder, "At least he didn't say his outrageous price!" I winked at Geo as I walked away, leaving them both speechless.

Dear Gustav,

I miss you so much with every day. I still can't believe you would want some Canadian girl like me. The girls over there are just so much more interesting! But I am happy you want to keep me in your life. It still amazes me how you knew how to make me so happy so quickly. You are most definitely my best friend.

I need a friend right now...

I hope to hear from you soon Gus =]. I miss you. Maybe some day you can come visit me in Montreal.

Love always,

Camille

Gustav folded up the paper and placed it in his pocket. Her life was falling apart and he could do nothing about it. He just wanted to be there for the girl of his dreams. Maybe, just maybe, she would fall in love with him. He sat alone, thinking about his choices that created a fork in his perfect life.
