Hey, So sorry for not updating in FOREVER, I've been extremely busy lately Anyway, each character's name in this story is based off of a musician. I'm going to start adding the origins at the bottom so you can guess what musician it is and check if your right once you've finished reading the chapter! Sound fun, right? Here is that long over due chapter!
Bills POV
Only two days after meeting that beautiful girl, the band and I finished up the American tour with our last concert in some city. It has been three days since then, still the jet lag from flying across the ocean is bothering me. Tom and I slept the entire first day that we were home, Oh how I missed my own bed. When you have slept in a crowded bunk that is constantly moving and sometimes hitting bumps in the road, you come to appreciate a quiet bedroom. I truly missed my home, but I knew it wouldn't last. In maybe a week, a little longer if I'm lucky, I will be bored and missing living on the road yet again. It happened every time, that was the problem with being a musician. You get to experience living on the road and meeting so many fans, but you cant constantly live like that. When I'm on the road, I miss my home. When I'm home, I miss the road. It is like I can never quite be satisfied for more than a day or so.
I decided that maybe it was time to get up. I had been lying in my bed, awake, for the past hour just staring at my ceiling. It only felt like a minute or so but when I checked my clock, it had changed to 8:00. Hopping out of bed, I went through my daily routine of hair, make up, and trying on multiple outfits until I found the perfect one. Tom always made fun of me for this, he didn't really care about what he wore, as long it was clean, he was fine. Although he made fun of me for caring about my appearance to much, he never once called me gay. I've never mentioned it to him, or said thank you, but he knows somehow that I'm grateful that he has spared me at least that. I already have the world calling me gay, and that causes enough stress already. I moved onto my hair, standing in front of the mirror of the bathroom connected to my bedroom, I kept getting distracted. I could help but glance over once in awhile at the small piece of paper taped to the side of my mirror. It stirred up to many emotions for me to handle at one time, excitement, nervousness, longing, loneliness, regret. I was perplexed by this small piece of paper, how could only 10 different numbers cause all of this. Ten lonely little numbers, written in a hurry but still perfectly aligned, and neat. Amber, that gorgeous girl, she was only but a call away. Of course I'm a coward, I just can't bring myself to due it, which brings out rage and hate toward myself. I try to justify why I do not call, by saying how I am not entirely sure on the time difference. I know we are 6 hours apart, but in what way? Is it early in the morning there, or the afternoon? Time passed by rather quickly as I stared at the piece of paper, while having a mini argument with myself inside my head. A large thud, awoke me from my haze. Tom was banging at my bedroom door, I knew he was calling my name but his voice was muffled and I could barely understand anything else he said.
"I will be out in just a minute!" I yelled, really doubting he would understand what I said, but hoping that since at least gave a reply, he would leave me alone. Of course, that wasn't the case, he barged in and looked around until he spotted me.
"God! You need to fucking hurry up lover boy if you're going to eat breakfast." Tom said, obviously struggling a bit to pronounce some words. I was much more advanced in English than he was, since I'm the one singing I kind of have to be. This made Tom jealous, that I was practicably fluent. Every chance he got, he spoke in English, even when it is just the two of us. He rarely spoke German anymore, only when he needed to ask what the word was in English, or when meeting German fans.
"I am, I am.." I mumbled, Spraying hairspray on the back of my hair. I saw his hand quickly move and before I could stop him, he snatched the piece of paper from my mirror.
"Love boy, have you called the lovely lady yet?" He said, with a wink. "Maybe, received any..Pictures?"
"No," I grabbed it out of his hand and firmly pressed the tape down on the mirror, hoping it would remain there. Normally Tom's crude humor didn't bother me, but this time it did. I did not want to think of anything ever being "bad", or "naughty" about Amber. Her innocence made her seem pure, as if the world could not touch her.
"Why not? Are you scared!" He exclaimed, while failing to correctly say the 'W'.
"No! Not at all!" I yelled back, "I just don't know what the time difference is."
"It's 6 hours... So.. it should be about 3:00 pm there." He seemed rather proud of him self for getting rid of my main reason for not calling. I will admit I was scared, and nervous. I could call any fan in a heartbeat, I wouldn't even have to think about it. With her, its different, its like I'm afraid that once I hear her voice, I will loose my own. I know that somehow I will screw up and embarrass myself.
"Oh ok.." I watched as Tom left the bathroom and grabbed something sitting at the edge of my bed. I soon realized that it was my phone. He typed in some numbers and handed it to me.
"There you go, now all you need to do is say hi." Tom said with a smile and left my room, to venture off and maybe finish breakfast or something, I never really know what he does in the mornings. I didn't know what to say when she picked up so I just tried my best to remain calm and counted the amount of times it rang.
"..Hello..?" A groggy, yet sweet voice said.
