Chapter 23
I walked out of Bill's car, turning my head to see Tom parted from Chantelle. I held my smile back and walked in. Without knowing I stepping into a pothole.
"Ow!" Bill and Tom ran over. Bill took one and hand and Tom the other. Julia rushed over, Chantelle stayed back.
"Izzy! Be careful!" Tom said using his 'warning/concerning voice'. They pulled me. I motioned that I was ok. I continued to walk but Tom held me back. He looked at me then lingering his eyes on me.
"TOMMI COME ON!" Chantelle yelled. His hand was still on my arm not letting go. He slowly moved his hand down to my hand, twining it. I looked up smiling. He pulled me to the building. I saw Chantelle catching up with us.
"Tom.." She said using her wining voice. He shot her a look, which she seemed to ignore.
"Chantelle not right now." said Tom. She reached for his arm, but he flinched away. She crossed her arms and continued to walk.
"Why are you snickering?" Tom asked curiously.
"It's hilarious! Look at her and your like 'not right now'" Tom licked his lips, pulling Isabelle closer to him, basically putting an arm around her. As we stepped into the building, the guy motioned us to the stage. I waited there.. My heart pounding like crazy.
"Nervous." Tom asked, putting pressure on the grip.
"Ye-Yeah."
"WELCOME TOKIO HOTEL AND THEIR PHOTOGRAPHER ISABELLE!" Tom pulled me on to the stage. He waved with one hand, while the other was in mine. Many girls screamed 'I love you bill, OH MY GOD TOM your hot!, Gustav call me! George *faint*'. I sat in between Tom and Bill. I slipped out of Tom's grip.
"Alright calm down guys." The interviewer said. "Hello boys." The boys welcomed in a chorus.
"So how was Singapore so far?"
"Singapore, is beautiful.. Really, Isabelle and I hung out at one of the lakes and we loved it." Bill answered.
"Is it true you've asked a girl there? Hmm Bill."
"I..*laughs.. Blushes.* Yeah." Bill waved to the crowd then shifted his focus back.
"Ha-ha, alright.. This one's for Tom.. You've been spotted with a girl.. All the way in Germany? Tell us about that." She motioned a magazine in Tom's face. Tom let out a chuckle.
"Well she's sitting right here… and yes it was in Germany….. Since we met there." The crowd awed for Tom. I tried to hide my face from embarrassment.
"Is that true?" The girl asked me.
"Ja. Yeah sure.. Tom doesn't seem like the guy to "wow" girls.. But he's really sweet, once you hang around with him.. Bug him couple times… you get it."
The crowd screamed louder then before.
"What about Chantelle?" She showed us a picture of Tom necking Chantelle. I turned my head towards him. He sat there frozen.
"I don't really care about her.. And her fake self." I added. The crowd grew quiet.
"What do you mean fake?"
"CAN'T you---" Tom put a hand over my mouth and whispered. "If you tell them what happened in the hotel room.. There will be rumors and lies." He took his hand off of my lips. I nodded my head and turned back to the interviewer.
"As I was saying… can't you tell?"
"Yeah we kinda can.. *interview flips through cards.*" For the next hour, it's been questions about the band. As the interview was over I slowly walked back stage, to see Julia.. Interested in a magazine. I took a seat next to her.
"Hey.." I said. She lifted her head.
"Hahaha! You almost ratted Chantelle out, and you were so nervous!"
"You could tell?"
"I could tell because I'm you best friend duh!" I saw Bill coming closer with three plates in his hand. On the plate was a bagel, donut and along with that coffee. He handed each plate to us. I put a hand on my stomach. I munched in, not caring.
"Thank Bill." Julia said. Bill took a seat next to Julia, both feeding each other.
"Gross." I said. I got up and walked away as they continued. I saw I pillow an inch away, I slowly reached for it, and turned around to see Bill and Julia. I leaned my hand back but someone caught it.
"Tom let go!"
"How about you come with me." He took me and brought me to his car. He put his bandana around my eyes.
"TOM!"
"Just wait!." I sat in carefully. As Tom drove off.
