We Scribbled Out The 'I Love You'

*Normal Pov*

Autumn rushed into the band's bus, clutching a letter in her hand.

"She's back! Kara's back!"

"Whoa, whoa. What?"

"Yeah, I know. She wrote this letter and it says she was coming home. But the date of her homecoming, IT'S TODAY!" Autumn ran into Bill's arms and kept on smiling. She was unbelievable happy that her twin was finally back. Just then, there was a knock on the bus door. Autumn ran to it and opened it quickly. Kara was standing outside, her arms wide open.

"Kara!" Autumn hugged her sister for dear life and heard Kara giggling.

"I'm glad to see you too, little sister."

"Ah, it's so good that you're home. It's been about twelve weeks since I've seen you! God, you are so gorgeous!" Autumn hugged her again and then pulled her into the bus.

"Hiya guys!" Tom's eyes widened and Kara smiled.

"Well, hello, beautiful."

"Ah, Kieran! What are you doing here?"

"Bill invited me."

"Oh." Kara's cheeks warmed to a pink. Kieran laughed and hugged her.

"I've missed you soooo much."

"I've missed you too." Kieran leaned down and kissed her lightly, but it turned into a full blown kiss. Remembering where they were, they righted themselves and turned back towards the others.

"So, what's been happening around this place?"

"Tom and Melissa are kaput." Tom glared at his brother and Bill stuck his tongue out.

"Oh, how are you with that Tom? I know you loved her a lot."

"I'm good. And I'm even better without physical contact from you." Kara retracted her hand from his shoulder, hurt clear on her face, but then she smiled.

"Eh, alright. Anymore things happen?"

"Autumn is pregnant."

"Oh, congratulations! I'm so happy." Kara hugged her sister and looked at Bill. He was glowing with happiness. Apparently he wanted a child.

"Kara, we wanted to ask you if you would come with us during the next check up."

"Of course."

"Okay." Autumn was smiling like crazy.

*Two hours later*

"Kieran! What the Hell are you doing?" Kieran was standing, talking to another girl. Not that Kara was jealous, but he had leaned into her.

"Uh, Kara this is Helena."

"Oh, wonderful. Named after My Chemical Romance's song."

"Excuse me?"

"Sorry, but it's been a rough day and I just came to get my boyfriend. Now if you-"

"Your boyfriend? He's my fiance!" Kara stopped short of grabbing Kieran's arm.

"Fian....ce?"

"Yes."

"How long have you been together?" Kara told herself to keep calm. She took a deep breath, preparing herself for the worst.

"Three months."

"Ah, what?"

"I said three months."

"That's immpossible. Kieran started dating me three months ago." His fiance's eyes widened.

"Kieran, what is the meaning of this?"

"I was horny and needed to get laid."

"Wha-?

"Helena, you weren't fucking me enough, so I turned to Kara and then asked her to be my girlfrined to get some more side action after the wedding."

"Ah. What the Hell?!" Kara walked up and smacked him in the face, then promptly walked off, hearing an echoing smack. She heard footsteps behind her and then Helena called after her.

"Hey, wanna go grab a coffee?" Kara turned and smiled.

"I'd love to."

"Cool." They walked off, leaving Kieran behind both sides of his face.

*StarBucks*

"Uh, I cannot believe him."

"I know. I kinda sensed it though. That's actually what I was talking to him about."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I mean it seemed really odd that he would start acting detached. He may have asked you to marry him if we hadn't found out."

"What a playa!"

"True dat."

"Ah, you sound like my sister." Helena laughed and Kara couldn't help but notice how cute it was.

"So, what's your occupation?"

"Novelist."

"Oh, WAIT! I know who you are. How come I didn't see it before?! I just thought you looked really familiar."

"Heh, nope. It's really me. So, how about you?"

"I'm a DJ at the local club. Gives good pay."

"That's cool. So, wanna go back to my place?" Helena snorted into her coffee and Kara realized what she had said.

"Oh, it's okay. People say things they don't always notice that other people use in a different way. We can go your place though. That'd be fun."

"Kay." They walked out of StarBucks and called a cab. Two hours later, the two girls were trashed.

"Y'know, that was the best fucking party in my life." Helena hissuped and they burst into laughter.

"Not for me. The best fucking party was-*hiccups*" More giggles followed.

"What were we talking about?"

"I don't know, but babe, you're fucking beautiful."

"You too, honey." They collapsed on the bed.

"Hey, lets play twenty questions."

"Kay."

"What's the worst thing you've done?"

"Uh, I went skinny dipping and then streaked through a park."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah."

"That is awesome."

"Yeah. When was your first kiss?"

"I was ten."

"Damn."

"Alright. When did you first have sex?"

"Uh, I was, uh, oh God. I'm gonna hurl!" Kara ran to the bathroom and threw up until dry heaves racked her trembling body.

"Oh, shit. Ow!"

"Yo, you alright?"

"Yeah. Fuck. Hand me that mouthwash, will ya?" Helena tossed the bottle over and sat on the edge of the tub.

"I'm still drunker than a skunk too."

"Me too." Kara swished the mouthwash around and spit it out. Six times.

"That is the nastiest thing ever."

"Yep. Come here." Helena pulled Kara up beside her, a certain look in her eyes. It was a look Kara had seen before.

"Hel-" Kara was silenced as she was tugged closer and Helena's lips landed on hers.

*Normal Pov*

Jack opened the double doors, ushering the two girls in.

"And you couldn't have come because?"

"I was fixing dinner for you two."

"Oh. Good, I'm hungry."

"Autumn, we have to lay them in the beds!"

"Oh, right." Kara kicked open the door to one of the guest rooms and laid the boy on the bed. Autumn walked in after her and set the other boy on the other bed.

"Amelia!"

"Yes?" A lady of about thirty walked in, already prepared to treat the victims.

"Clean them up, get them out of their dirty clothes and make sure this one doesn't turn."

"Yes, milady."

"Just call me Autumn."

"Yes, mi-Autumn." Amelia smiled and set to work in stripping the boys of their filthy clothes.

"Autumn, we need to go. Dinner is ready."

"Yes, ah, of course." Her gaze left the bitten boy and returned to Kara. They nodded at each other and walked out of the room. During dinner, Kara kept shooting nervous glances towards the guest bedroom. Shouts and curses were coming through the closed door.

"You think they're alright?"

"Yeah. Probably just freaked that they're in a different bed, only in robes."

"True. I'm done. Are you?" Autumn nodded and handed Kara her plate, watching her wash it off and place it in the dishwasher.

"I'm gonna go check on them."

"I'll go with you."

"Okay." They walked over to the bedrooms door and opened it quietly. Peeking through, they could see the two boys sitting down, talking quietly in whispers, though with their vampire hearing, the two girls could hear every word.

"Tom, where are we?"

"I woke up here just like you. How the Hell am I supposed to know?"

"Ah. Right. Any reason you can think of that would explain why we're in robes and nothing else?"

"We had fantastic sex and passed out? I don't know."

"Uh, I hate when that's all you can think about."

"Well, get used to it. I like sex. So what?"

"That doesn't mean you have to think about it 24/7."

"Listen little brother, I can think of what I want, anytime I want."

"Eh."

Kara smiled and nudged Autumn, who was also smiling.

"Time to break it up." They walked in, getting freaked glances from one boy and curious glances from the other.

"Ah, hi."

"Is this your house?" Autumn looked at the boy, no, his name was Bill.

"Yes."

"Why are we here?" She looked at Kara, telling her with her eyes that she was making it short.

"Bill, you were bitten by a vampire and fainted. Tom, you attempted to kill the thing, bad idea, and got knocked to the side, hitting your head. You woke up, asked what that damned thing was and when I told you, you fainted." The twins eyes were wide with disbelief.

"Are you for real?"

"Uh, yeah." Bill fell back on the bed, obviously he had fainted again.

"Aw, damn." Autumn scooped him up and walked to the bathroom, feeling Tom's gaze on her. She dumped Bill in the tub and twisted the 'Cold' knob, making sure to turn the shower on. The spray hit Bill right in the face and he came to, coughing.

"What the Hell?"

"I had to wake you up. You fainted again."

"Ah, turn it off. It's freezing." Autumn reached out and twisted the knob off. She stood there, looking down at him.

"Okay, now are you gonna faint again or are you gonna listen to what I have to say?"

"I'll listen."

"Alright." She pulled Bill up and grabbed a towel, handing it to him. He took it and just looked at her.

"Uh, take off the robe and then wrap the towel around you."

"Are you crazy?! I'd rather be wet."

"Suit yourself." Autumn walked out and sat on the edge of the bed. Bill walked out behind her, towel around his waist. She smiled.

"Don't you say anything!"

"Fine. I won't. Sit down because you have a lot of questions and we have the answers." Bill sat beside his brother, looking straight at Autumn.

"Ok. First off, who the Hell are you?"

"Well, I'm Autumn Van Helsing."

"And I'm Kara Van Helsing."

"Wh-what?!"

"Oh, yeah. Before you ask, we arew Gabriel Van Helsing's daughters."

"You mean th-that you're vampire hunters?"

"Uh, yeah. I'd say that's why we staked that bitch."

"Oh."

"So, I'm guessing you already watched the movie 'Van Helsing'?

"Yes."

"Oh, well that cuts down the questions I guess." Tom nodded.

"So,uh,what are you exactly?"

"What do you mean?"

"If I'm right, no human can whoop a vampire's ass. So, what are you?"

"Half vampire."

"Bill, I am not staying here with a bunch of blood suckers. C'mon." Tom grabbed his brother's hand and pulled him up, towards the door.

"I'm not a damned blood sucker. Well, we're not. Just because we're half vampire doesn't mean that we chow down on human's blood."

"Uck. Bad image. Tom, we should stick around to see what they have to say. Besides, we need our clothes. We can't run down the streets ina towel and robe." Tom sighed, but let go of his brother's hand.

"Fine. Hurry up."

"Alright. Half vampires have respect for humans because it's a life they are close to, but can never achieve. Vampires don't give a damn because they simply want blood. Some vampires though, adore humans because, well, without humans, there wouldn't be a vampire race."

"Okay. Still listening." Bill sat in a chair across from the bed, folding his hands in his lap.

"So, we hunt the bad vampires. The ones who kill when they don't need to. The ones who indulge themselves in dark things."

"So, you hunt your own kind?"

"No. We're not part of the vampire race nor are we part of the human race. Which makes it quite hard to live, but yeah."

"Vampires don't accept you?"

"No because our fathers or mothers are considered traitors in their eyes. When a vampire leaves his life for a human, there is no turning back to the vampires. They will be killed if they do so."

"Uh, harsh."

"Yes, but a neccessity. This keeps the population at bay. If the human woman has a child, it's a half breed and is shunned."

"Can vampires have children?"

"No. Since they're dead, they don't have what you need to create a baby."

"So, they're really dead?!"

"Yes."

"Oh, gross. How could a human ever date something like that?!"

"Love keeps things together, whether alive or dead."

"Oh. So, are you two dead?" A look of horror crossed the Van Helsing twins faces.

"Absolutely not. We're half breed. We live as long as a human, unless we come into full powers, but we can only do that if we either die or go crazy with blood lust."

"So, you do drink blood."

"Synthetic. And it's only when the need strikes."

"So, does the sunlight hurt vampires?"

"No. They just choose to sleep then so they're refreshed for the night. They like to be able to chase their prey without falling face forward in exhaustion."

"They chase people?! Oh, that's horrible."

"Well, sometimes they can will you towards them. That's called Glamour."

"Uh, please tell me that's what that femal vampire used on me."

"It is. Vampires have the power to make them seem harmless and attractive. So, they make you want their bite. Sometimes you can be changed on the first try, but other times it takes three bites to make you a vampire."

"Oh, great. I am in relief now. At least I'm still human."

"Yes, you're lucky."

The ghost of you

The ghost of me

Sitting here

Against a tree

You were drunk

I was high

We didn't think

That we would die

Taking a thrill

Was what we were doing

Just a harmless little drive

We didn't know

We'd be burning and bleeding

Our bodies twisted and broken

We didn't know

That one harmless drink

That one harmless joint

Could put us here

Sitting against a tree

The ghost of me

The ghost of you

Running mascara

Smeared lipstick

Looks like a mess in the making

Add a slur

Teased hair

And you've got yourself

A show girl

A confused teenager

Who flaunts herself

Thinking she's something

But she's not

And when the sun rises

People will just forget

And she'll be another slut

One blade, two cuts

I watch as my life soaks my shoes

A red river flowing

Red as the lust that burned in my lungs

For you

For you

This chant repeats

Not letting me breath

My vision goes black

I hit the floor

And finally

Finally

Your memory fades away

Leaving me on my own

Realizing

That death is so cold

A memory

Is what I have

A memory

Is what I'll keep

A memory

Is this thing that won't let me breath

This memory

Is you

The love of my life

To cry

Is to let people know you're afraid

To cry

Is to admit life has won

To cry

Is to tell yourself you give up

To cry

Is to tell everyone you can't go on

To cry

Is to give everything up

Your dreams and hopes

Just to die

When I fell down and cried

You were there

When I stumbled in life and failed

You were there

When I felt my misery overwhelm me

You were there

When I felt my heart break into pieces

You were there

Always by my side

When I needed you the most

Always holding me as I cried

You spoke of things getting brighter

Always there when life kicked me down

Yet the one time

I wanted you

The one time I loved you

There was only your ghost

This is color coded. I'll have a certain color for certain POVs. Get ready. Here it is! My new story!!!

*NORMAL POV*

Autumn paced the living room, hearing the heels of her shoes tap against the marble floor. What the Hell was taking him so long? Jack should have been there hours ago! The double doors swung open and Autumn turned towards them, sighing in relief.

"Jack, you should have been here many hours ago!" She nearly shouted.

"I'm sorry,milady, but we were delayed from returning." Jack murmured.

"Ah, by what?" Autumn's voice lowered a smidge.

"The Queen, milady, called." His voice remained calm and steady.

"What the Hell does she wan twith my men?" Now, she was shouting.

"I do not know. Milady, if you would allow me to set these things down. They are extremely heavy."

"Fine, fine. And stop calling me that. It's so annoying." Jack nodded and set the wooden stakes down. There were at least twelve of them. One rolled across the marble floor and landed at her feet. Autumn picked it up and turned it in her hands. It was just a piece of Ash, sharpened to a dangerous point.

"Niiice!" It left her lips as a whisper. As the days and nights of hunting vampires grew on, Autumn found she quite liked the job. It was fun, if you didn't think of how many clothes you destroyed with vampire blood and ash.

"I'm home!" The shout echoed throughout the living room, bouncing off the walls. Autumn turned back towards the open double doors, seeing her sister decked out in leather.

"What the fuck are you wearing?" Autumn really didn't usually cuss, but this called for it.

"I find it's easier to clean the blood and ash off of. Besides, it makes you look absolutely sexy."

"Oh my God. I never though you would care about looking sexy."

"Hey! I am now a vampire hunter. I'm famous, so I need to look drop-dead gorgeous for the paparazzi." Kara sat on the couch, well more like flopped, and thumbed through a magazine.

"You never cease to amaze me, Kara."

"I know. I'm such an awesome person."

"Yeah, yeah. Are you ready to hunt or not?" Kara jumped off the couch.

"I'm always ready."

"Kay. Come on."

"Alright. Bye, Jack."

"Kill those blood sucking beasts, miladies."

"Stop calling us that!" Jack chuckled and ushered them out the door. His little hunters were growing up.

*In The WareHouse*

"Where the Hell are they?" Autumn's voice echoed, making her realize how empty this place was.

"Dinner time?"

"Ewww. I don't even want to picture that! Well, you wanna wait?"

"Is it such a good idea to wait?"

"Probably not, but we're prepared."

"That's waht you said last time and the fuckers jumped us." Autumn wrinkled her nose at the memory.

"Yeah, I know, but we learned from our mistakes."

"Our mistakes?! How can you call them-" Autumn clapped her hand over her sister's mouth. Her sensitive hearing picked up a voice. No, not a voice, but two of them.

"Oh, Tom. Shut up!"

"Why the Hell should I shut up?! You're the one who brought us here and if you don't come with me right now, I'm leaving you."

"Then leave me."

"Bill...."

"She'll be here any minute. Just-"

The scuffling of feet followed and then another voice. It was smoother and richer, seemingly hypnotizing. Vampire, Autumn decided. She had taken her hand off Kara's mouth and now they were both listening. At the sound of a large *thud*, the girls rushed through the warehouse, running faster than any human could ever dream of doing. As they ran out into a large empty space, they both stopped. A small vampire stood, holding a teenage boy against her.

"What the Hell?!" The vampire turned and Autumn let her mouth drop open. Emma.

"Oh, what a surprise! I find two scrumptious boys and I get two scrumptious hunters as well!"

"We're not a meal and neither are they!"

"Ho-ho, a little fiery are we? Just the way I like them. Now, come to Emma." Her voice regained it's hypnotic power and the twin girls felt themselves being drawn towards her, though they didn't want to. One of the boys, the one she had dropped whilst turning around, picked up a wooden board, slamming it into her back. It broke in half and Emma turned on him, enraged.

"How dare you!" Kara shook her head and looked at Autumn. She wasn't there. Turning her gaze back towards Emma, she saw Autumn straddling her, stake poised above her heart.

"Ahhh! You witch, get off! GET OFF!" Autumn grunted as Emma grabbed her shoulder, attempting to fling her. Kara could see the vampires nails digging in, blood drenching th shoulder of Autumn's shirt.

"Bitch!"

"Autumn, just slam the damned thing down!!!"

"Alright." And she slammed the stake into the vampire's chest, shoving it up to the hilt. Black blood ran freely, puddling around Emma. Autumn hurried off her, helping one of the two boys. Emma writhed on the ground, hissing. The smell of burning flesh entered the air and Kara gagged. Why does it have to smell so bad, She thought. Autumn was looking at her, pointing to the other boy, who was lying on the floor, holding his neck. Kara ran over to him and pulled his hand away. Two little, red dots were the only sign that he had been bitten. One thing most people didn't realize was that vampire saliva can heal as well as harm.

"It doesn't look too bad. You'll be okay."

"Ah, may I ask, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" Kara chuckled. Shock was about the only real thing to worry about when you treated bitten victims. None of them seemed to believe in vampires, whcih made the world a better place, really.

"That was a vampire."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"Oh, God." The boy's beautiful brown eyes rolled back and he went limp.

"Uh, Autumn, we have a fainter."

"Oh, Dammit! We have two of them."

"What are we gonna do?"

"The only thing we can do."

"What's that?" Autumn walked over to Kara and helped her up.

"We're gonna call Jack, so we can get these two boys in bed. We'll explain to them when they wake up."

"Alright." Kara flipped open her cellphone and hit speed-dial. Sometimes, you just had to do what came natural. For the Van Helsing twins, that was taking care of the bitten victims. And maybe their brothers.

Life had always been good for the Van Helsing twins. They had it all, considering their dad was the greatest vampire hunter in the world. Problem was, though the girls were only seventeen, they HAD to take on Gabriel Van Helsing's business. And that just was NOT cool. Being covered with nasty things, especially vampire blood and ash, was so not something they loved. But someone had to rid the world of the bogeymen.

The Kaulitz twins have it great. They're rockstars and part of the best German band ever. Yet, they aren't really satisfied. Sure, Tom feels satisfied during one-night stands, but that's a whole different feeling of satisfied. And Bill feels satisfied at hearing millions of fans scream his name during a concert, but still, a whole different satisfaction.

When the pairs of twins meet accidently during a late night stake-out, things spin out of control and the four find themselves in a weird twist of events as they conquer evil and fall deeper into the throes of love and danger.

So, are you interested in my new story? I hope so. I worked hard on thisdamned prologue. And it's all for you my sweets. Sounds really good, right? It better. No, just kidding. I'll probably have the first chapter up soon. But till then, think of the weird combination of things in this story.

Moments come and go, but when you're with the person you love, a moment lasts a life time.

Autumn and Bill's wedding was three weeks after that faithful day Autumn worked up her courage. They're expecting a baby girl in April. What a beautiful thing life is.

Kara and Tom are still going strong, their love growing everyday. Tom is trying to work up his courage to propose. His one-night stand days are over.

Gracie is still with Gustie. Evangel is starting to bang pots and pans. I believe he's gonna be a drummer just like his daddy.

Dariya is expecting a baby boy and Georg is uber excited. He can't wait to be a dad.

Obviously, things can end with Happily Ever After!

Autumn's Pov:

"Bill..."

"Yeah?"

"I need to ask you something."

"Okay." I got down on one knee, felt my cheeks warm at his curious gaze.

"Bill, uh, will you, um, marry me?" His eyes went wide and he absent mindedly raised his eyebrow.

"I mean, y'know, if you don't want to you don't uh have to. Oh God. I'm making a fool of myself."

"No. No."

"You don't want to?"

"I do!" Bill picked me up and kissed me.

"Oh, yay."

"Yes. Yay!"

"Holy Shit!"

"What?!"

"It just occured to me that I'm seventeen and engaged."

"Engaged and underage, but it's good."

"Why?"

"Because it's real love and I've been waiting for this for a lifetime."

"Oh."

"Yes."

Bill's Pov:

"Ah."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Tell me."

"No."

"Tell me."

"No, Bill."

"Yes, Tom."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"You two stop fighting like seven year olds." I looked over at Autumn.

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

"You're not my boss."

"I can kick your ass though."

"Haha, bite me."

"Come over here and I will." I walked over and leaned over her. She moved fast and bit my shoulder.

"Ow!"

"I told you I'd bite you."

"I didn't think you'd actually do it!"

"Now you know better."

Autumn's Pov:

Who could say for sure where my twin was? The television. I sat there watching an interview of Kara. She was sitting on the couch, her knees pulled up against her chest, talking about her new book. I had it, of course. She had it sent to me, a note folded between the pages. That was the last she had wrote to me. Seven weeks ago. Now, the only way I saw her was in magazines or on television.

Host: So, your book, 'Love Is Dead', it's on the top charts. What do you have to say to that?

Kara: Well, I'm glad.

Host: Just glad?

Kara: *Laughs* I guess I'm more than glad.

Host: *Smiles* Alright. So, here's something we all want answered. Rumours have been going around that you dated Tom Kaulitz, the guitarist for Tokio Hotel, but we have to know if they're true.

Kara: No, we didn't date. We have been friends since we were thirteen.

Host: But feelings can develop. Right?

Kara: Yes, but in this case, no. We care for each other, but it's not enough for love to blossom.

"Hi, Autz! What are you watching?" Tom sat by me and I scooted to make more room.

"Kara."

"Oh." We turned our attention back to the screen.

Host: Okay. Well, you wrote a romance between a touring rockstar and a depressed teenager. Yet, at the end, it isn't what we all expect. Why is that?

Kara: A good book must bring a slight unexpected theme to be a good book.

Host: Oh. So, Tokio Hotel let you use the lyrics from there song 'Love Is Dead'.

Kara: Well, not the whole band, but yes.

Host: Ah. Uh, next question. Are you in love?

Kara: Heh. Yes. I'm dating and am in love.

Host: Oh, do tell.

Kara: His name is Kieran Helson.

Host: You mean to tell me, you're dating the newest male model?!

Kara: Yes. I met him while in America.

Host: Wow.

"What country is this?"

"Japan."

"You mean to say that Kara is in JAPAN?!"

"Yes."

"Ah."

First off, I'm showing you the dresses, just so I don't have to in the future. So, here they are. Enjoy!

Autumn's Pov:

Tom's Pov:

I walked onto the bus after the whole fight, my attitude causing me to kick at the table. I was completely outraged that Kara would act that way. She had only just met Melissa. I peeked in Gustav's bunk and saw Kara, fast asleep.

"Kara, get your ass up!" She groaned and pulled the curtain shut, hitting me in the face.

"Dammit!" I yanked back the curtain, shaking Kara.

"Tom, go the fuck away!"

"Don't get nasty with me! You had no right to act like that!" Kara turned over, her eyes burning with fury.

"And yet you let her get by with telling me I can't hang out with her brother and then saying all those mean ass things! Oh, wait, she's your darling baby. Still, I'm the one sitting here, the one who's known you for four years, the one who has been ther for four years, and you're getting onto my ass,. Well fuck you! And get out of Gustie's bunk!" With this she placed her hand on my chest and pushed me out. I stood up and opened the curtain again. Kara was laying right on the edge so I couldn't get in.

"You're just jealous because you like me and want to be the one in my bed, sharing long nights by me."

"Do I look jealous to you?"

"Very." Kara rolled out of the bunk, walking away.

"So, if I'm so jealous, I would have responded with something down right witty. Yet I didn't." I rolled my eyes and sat by her on the couch.

"Smartass be you."

"Cut the shit Yoda!" Smiling, she gave me a playful poke in the ribs.

"How come I come in all pissed at you, yet it just disappears when I see you smile or you make some smartass comment."

"Because you love me so much." Kara hopped up, sticking her tongue out as she poked me and darted out the bus door. Damn! I ran after her, following her soft footsteps.

"Kara, damn you!" She had led me into the meadow. I stopped and crossed my arms over my chest. Giggling reached my ears and I turned, just in time to see Kara disappearing again. I followed.

"Tomi..." She was standing in the middle of a cluster of flowers, looking out over the lake.

"Kara?"

"I....I need to tell you something." Kara turned to me, looking at me with sorrow filled eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"It's...well, uh....fuck." I walked closer, wondering if I should put my arm around her or just stan there, looking awkwardly desperate for some help.

"You can tell me."

"Really?"

"Of course!" Kara sat down, pulling her knees up to her chest and placing her folded arms on them.

"Okay. You know how I suffered from depression when I first met you?"

"Yeah." I think I could see where this was going. I sat beside her, deciding on putting my arm around her trembling shoulders.

"Well, I believe it's back. I went to the doctor yesterday and-"

"That's why you were gone?"

"Yes. So, she said that I need to take this medicine. Problem is, I can't stomach it."

"That one medicine you were taking three weeks after we met?"

"Yep. When I called her, she told me, that I HAD to take it if I wanted to gert better. So, I am."

"And you're not feeling better."

"No. And, the reason, today, when I fought with Melissa, the medicine has symptoms. Mood swings and lots of other things."

"Oh."

"Yeah. I didn't mean to, it just happened. Looking back on the damn fight, I really wish I would have been the grown up and had just walked away." I moved my arm, rubbing my hand up and down her back in a comforting way.

"Hey, it's okay. It doesn't matter anymore. That was earlier today. Besides, you truly were the adult. Stepping in for Kieran and asking how he was bruised and then just walking away."

"...."

"Melissa and me are through though."

"............"

"Are you okay?"

"......." I turned towards her, startled to find her staring at me intensely.

"What?!"

"....Nothing....."

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Cause I can."

"Well it's creeping me out." Kara smiled a little and turned her eyes back towards the lake.

"Sorry." The silence between us grew and I pretty much figured we didn't have to talk because it was alright. We were alright. Our friendship was good.

"It's pretty out here tonight."

".....Yes....." I wasn't staring at the lake or the flowers though. My attention was focused completely on Kara. The moonlight flowed across her skin, making it glow beautifully.

"Tomi...." She was turned abck towards me again, her eyes looking straight into mine. I wondered, briefly, if she could tell what I was thinking, if she could tell what I was going to do, but then I stopped wondering because her lips were against mine. I didn't know if Kara had made the move or me, but I really didn't care, as long as I was kissing her, holding her in my arms.

Bill's Pov:

"Autumn?"

"What?!"

"Do you think that Kara and Tom are okay? Like that they made it all better between them." Autumn smiled, stopping what she was doing.

"Of course. They can never stay mad at each other for long. It's impossible."

"Yeah. They are the best of friends."

"Bill, they're more like soul mates." I turned my widened eyes upon her.

"What do you mean?" Had she found out Tomi's secret? Please tell me the answer is no!

"Well, Kara, well, I shouldn't be sharing this, but she loves Tom. Has since he became her friend and treated her as his equal, never once thinking he was better than her."

"I guess people have always done that to her, huh?"

"Yeah. That's one of the reasons she became a novelist. She thought that if she could make a name for herself, no one could look down her."

"Was it like that for you?"

"No. I guess people thought I was prettier or something. I sure as Hell didn't think so."

"Well, Kara was a little pale and scrawny."

"Yeah, she was. I still don't understand though."

"Understand what?"

"How she didn't catch the eye of someone. Kara grew up to be stunningly beautiful and yet no guy speaks to her. I mean no guy who has actual feelings for her." I felt my cheeks grow hot. Well, obviously she didn't know Tom's secret.

"Haha, yeah. Uh, I'm just gonna go for a walk now. Um, em, clear my head." I rushed towards the door, but Autumn stood in my path.

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

"Of course not. I tell you absolutely everything."

"No you don't."

"Well, the important stuff I do."

"Alright, alright. Go for your walk." I let out a breath of relief and just as I opened the door, Autumn raised her eyebrows and gave a wicked smile.

"Tom loves Kara." I felt my jaw drop and thought I was going to faint. Not that I'm a wuss who faints easily. Don't think that of me! Just that, no one was supposed to know and yet Autumn, my love, knows. And Tom is once again going to blame it on me because according to him, I have a big mouth. If he didn't tell me secrets, though, I wouldn't have anything to talk about. Now would I?

Normal Pov:

Tokio Hotel and the girls decided to take a little more time to look around the state they were in.

Kara: I haven't been here since I was a little girl.

Tom: You still are little. *Kara smacked him in the arm*

Kara: I am not little.

Tom: You are too.

Kara: Where am I little then?

Tom: Everywhere.

Kara: NO I AM NOT!!!

Tom: Yes you are. Have you seen yourself?

Kara: Yes.

Tom: Then you know you're tiny.

Kara: I'm not tiny. Stop saying I am. *Steps away from Tom*

Bill: You two stop acting like seven year olds. *Puts his arm around Autumn*

Autumn: Yeah, what Godzilla said. *Looks up at Bill with a shy smile*

Bill: Godzilla huh? *Tickles Autumn*

Autumn: *squeals with laughter*

Bill: *stops tickling Autumn at the curious glances of the strangers*

Autumn: Haha, we're being looked at weird.

Bill: Yes Autumn. We are.

Autumn: Oh lookie! Swings!! *Runs over to the swings and starts swinging*

Kara: Ah, she's such a little kid. Right Bill?....Bill? *Looks and sees he's on the swings with Autumn*

Tom:They're such a good couple.

Kara: Yup. *Sits on a bench, watching the lake waters rippling*

Tom: Kara?

Kara: Yeah?

Tom: Can I ask you something?

Kara: You just did. *Smiles as Tom rolls his eyes*

Tom: Stop being a smartass.

Kara: Okay.

Tom: Do you like me?

Kara: *Darts a startled look at him* Why would you ask that?

Tom: Well, we have been best friends for some time...

Kara: So?

Tom: So have you developed feelings for me in that time?

Kara: Uh....um...

Tom: All you have to do is say yes or no.

Kara: .......No. *Looks back at the lake*

Tom: *Moves closer to her and whispers in her ear* Are you sure?

Kara: y-yes....*Gasps as Tom nuzzles her neck*

Tom: Really because I heard from a certain someone that you felt for me....pretty deeply too. *Smiles smugly as Kara jumps up fire in her eyes.*

Kara: Well I don't! *Turns away and stalks toward a different bench*

Tom: *sighs* Damn!

Bill&Autumn: *Walk back over to Tom after twenty min. of swinging and talking* Where's Kara?

Tom: *Points to a bench without looking* There.

Bill: *Turns towards the bench* Wow. Lookie there.

Tom: *Looks, only to see Kara with a dark-haired boy, laughing* Who the Hell is he?

Autumn: Don't get jealous. *Walks over to the bench to introduce herself* Hi I'm Autumn, Kara's twin.

Boy: *Shakes her hand* I'm Kieran. Nice to meet you.

Bill: And I'm Bill. Autumn's boyfriend.

Kieran: Nice to meet you too.

Kara: Where's Tom?

Bill: On the bench.

Tom: No I'm right here.

Kara: Oh, Hi...*Realizes Melissa is beside him* Melissa...

Tom: Melissa this is Kara. *Kara reaches her hand forward but Melissa just stares at it as if it were covered in acid*

Kara: *Pulls hand back*

Melissa: What are you doing with my brother?

Kara: Kieran is your...brother?

Melissa: Yes and he doesn't need to be hanging with a wench like you.

Kara: You don't even know me. *Stands up and pulls away from Kieran's grasp*

Kieran: Melissa we've just been talking.

Melissa: *sneers* Why would you talk to a low life like her?

Kara: Oh, go fuck yourself! Low life my ass. I am a prized novelist who could beat you anyday, bitch! *Everyone looks startled at this and backs up from Kara and Melissa*

Melissa: Oh, yeah. From what Tom tells me, you couldn't even leave a bruise with your slap. And it was your best.

Kara: *Looks at Tom* Fucking un-called for. I don't tell my boyfriends about you and I certainly wouldn't tell them something mean that they could use against you. Fucking backstabbing bastard.

Tom: I-it just slipped.

Melissa: Of course. You were so sleepy, lying there after three hours of sex, that it just slipped. *Laughs at Kara's sudden hurt expression* You think we haven't fucked.....or are you in love with him?

Kara: Hell fucking no. And if I was, it all just disappeared. *Starts walking away* Kieran, I'll see you later.

Melissa: Oh, no you won't. You're staying away from my fucking brother. You'll only hurt him.

Kara: *Turns back and laughs bitterly* What the fuck? I can hurt him?! Have you seen the bruises that cover his arms! They continue right down. Decorating his legs and ribs. Seems to me that someone else is hurting him.

Melissa: Are you blaming me for it?

Kara: Oh, no. Of course not. *Sarcastic tone*

Melissa: I haven't even been home. I have my own place so I don't visit.

Kara: So, really, you can't even call Kieran your brother. If you don't visit, then you were never there for him. You've cut him out of your life. Your high priced, backstabbing *shoots a look at Tom* life.

Melissa: *Pure hatred in her voice* Oh, still hung up on Tom telling me? He tells me just about everything in his life. Said he thought you liked him and everything. I believe you're quiet the jealous one. Never liked when he ahd one-night stands or dates.

Kara: *Raises eyebrow* If I'm so jealous, how come I'm walking away? How come I'm not giving you an answer? How come I'm not hitting you and breaking your plastic fucking nose? *Turns on her heel and walks away, leaving everyone stunned*

Tom: Melissa...

Melissa: *Tears rolling down her cheeks* Oh Tom. Why does she hate me so much? I DO visit my brother. I love him. *Shoots a look at Kieran over Tom's shoulder*

Kieran: I'm going after her. *Gets up and starts walking*

Melissa: You're going with her, even after she said all that to me?

Kieran: Kara's right, get over it. If you gave a damn about me, you would have been home the first time I called. You're nothing but a fake ass bitch. *Runs off after Kara*

Tom's Pov:

"Bill! Where's Kara?" Bill walked out of the bathroom, dripping wet and his toothbush in his mouth.

"I don't know."

"Ok. And don't talk with your mouth full." Bill took the toothbrush out of his mouth and grinned.

"Bite me. Ask Autumn, though. She'll know."

"Autumn!!!!"

"Whaat??!" I an back to the bunk area and looked in Bill's bunk. Autumn was laying there, reading a book.

"Where's Kara?"

"Outside. Where she has been since you left for Melissa. You eally shouldn't blow her off like that. Melissa is just jealous because she knows you have deeper feelings for Kara." I closed my open mouth.

"Really?"

"Yes. You and Kara have been through a lot. Your girlfriend is frightened that the bond that's grown between you and Kara will make you want Kara and not her."

"Oh. Well, I'm going to go find Kara."

"Ok." I walked out of the bus and started towards the meadow.

"Kara?!"

"Tom??" Kara walked from behind a cluster of trees and looked at me oddly.

"Hi."

"What are you doing here???"

"Well, I helped Lissa."

"Oh."

"What are you doing back there??"

"Well, I was talking to someone."

"Who?"

"He's gone now, but his name is Kieran."

"Oh. Cool. So, do you want to tell me now?"

"Tell you what?"

"What you were telling me earlier."

"Sure. Tom, I....shit!"

"What?!"

"I forgot. Dammit."

"Ah, you're always forgetting." Kara scowled at me and went back to thinking.

"Oh, I can't remember."

"Oh, well. You can tell me when you do."

"Kay. Shall we go in now??"

"Sure." We started walking, silence filling the air between us.

"Ahhh!" I looked over and raised my eyebrows. Kara was on the ground, rubbing the back of her leg.

"What happened?"

"I fell, dumb-shit. What does it look like?"

"You're rubbing yourself." Kara jumped up, smacking me.

"Smartass. Ow, it hurts."

"Well, what did you fall over?" I looked at the large rock she pointed at and burst out laughing.

"Stop laughing. It isn't funny."

"Alright, alright. Stop smacking me! Ow, ow, ow."

"Okay. Enough. Ow, shit." Kara rubbed her leg again and I bent down to see a large scratch on the back of her thigh.

"Oh, does it hurt?"

"Of course it hurts."

"Want me to kiss it and make it better?" I leaned forward and Kara shrieked, jumping away.

"No! It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Alright. Okay." I stretched and slung my arm around her shoulders.

"Tom?"

"Yeah?"

"Get your arm off of me." I laughed and let my arm slide down her back.

"Hey, Kara?"

"Yup."

"Do you think Melissa is jealous of you?"

"What?! Why would she be jealous of me? She's the one who has you!" I looked at Kara, startled. Did she mean, that, oh no. She couldn't be jealous of Melissa. Could she??

"Ah, Tom, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Oh, uh, nothing. We should be getting to bed. It's really late. Um, lets go." I grabbed Kara's hand and pulled her to the bus.

"Tom, are the others in bed??"

"I think. Gustav is staying with Rachel and well, Georg is staying with his new girlfriend."

"Okay." I opened the door and walked up the steps quietly.

"Tom?"

"Yeah."

"Um, I remember what I was gonna tell you."

"Oh, then tell me now."

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Because, it's embarassing."

"How can it be embarassing?"

"It just is." I watch as she flopped onto the couch and closed her eyes.

"Are you going to be alright sleeping there?"

"Yeah. Besides, it's not like you're gonna offer me your bunk. Right?"

"Um, yeah. I just, well, what if Dave came onto the bus tomorrow?"

"Oh. So you're ashamed to be seen with me in your bunk?"

"NO! If Dave saw you in my bunk, he'd ask about Melissa and then someone else would probably end up finding out you slept in my bunk and all hell would break loose!"

"Okay. I'll sleep in Gustav's empty bunk." I nodded and walked off to crawl into my bunk and let sleep take over.

*Two Days Later*

Kara's Pov:

I ran towards Tokio Hotel's tour bus and skidded to a stop, barely avoiding crashing into Tom.

"Whoa."

"Haha, yeah. Tom will you take a walk with me for a second?" He looked down at his phone and then looked back up at me, a smile on his face.

"Sure. Melissa isn't going to call me for awhile, so, yes."

"Oh. Alright." We started walking and I fidgeted with the hem of my skirt.

"Kara?" I looked up and bit my lip. Tom was entirely focused on me and nothing else.

"Yeah?"

"You know you can tell me anything."

"Yes, but..."

"What?" I shook my head and we continued to walk in silence. Tom's phone rang and I jumped.

"Hello? Oh, hi. Yeah, eh, um, no I'm kinda busy right now. Okay. Ten minutes. Yeah, love you too. Bye."

"Melissa?" Tom nodded and we looked at each other.

"Kara, I have ten minutes, so, hurry it up."

"Tom, I-I l-" Tom's phone rang again and he sighed.

"Hold on. Just one minute Kara."

"Ok."

"Lissa, I told you, ten min- oh, OH, alright. Ok. Be right there."

"What now?"

"She needs me to help her right now."

"With what?"

"She's moving and she has boxes and-"

"Y'know what, forget it. Just go."

"Are you sure?  You ca-"

"NO! Just go away. It wasn't important anyways." Tom sighed and turned to walk back to the bus, but he stopped.

"Kara, I don't want to leave like this. Really." I shook my head, still staring at the ground.

"No it's okay. I don't care. If Melissa needs you, you might as well hurry. You never know what's in those boxes."

"A-alright. You can tell me tonight. No interruptions."

"That's what you say now."

"No, no. I promise." I looked up briefly and saw him walking away. I collapsed onto the ground and pulled my knees to my chest. Melissa just didn't want Tom to be with me because we had a stronger bond. We had been through a lot though. Tom had helped me through a lot and I had helped him. Melissa just didn't understand. You couldn't tear away that bond, no matter how hard you tried. It was there to stay.

*Three Hours Later*

I looked up as a bright light fell over me and sighed.

"Autumn, what are you doing?"

"Thought you might be hungry." She held out a little container and I took it.

"What is it?"

"It's just something I fixed."

"Well, I'm not hungry. Here." I handed it back and stood up, wincing as my back cracked.

"Oh, okay. Well, just come on in when you are. There's a meaow back there and it's filled with flowers. It has a beautiful lake. It's a place to think."

"Ok. Alright."

"Yeah. Well, I'll see you." I nodded and walked back towards the meadow as Autumn went back to the tour bus. As the meadow came into sight, my walking slowed. There was a stifled sobbing and it was in the direction of the meadow. I stopped and wondered if I should find someone or just go ahead and look.

"Oh, well. I'll go find out who is crying." I ran to the meadow and stumbled over an upturned root. Falling, I saw who was crying. A boy of my age was sitting with his knees pulled up to his chest, trying to stop his sobs. I lifted myself up and sat by him, lightly touching his arm. He looked up and I smiled, reassuringly. The boy moved, frightened, to get up, but I spoke up.

"No, no. I won't hurt you. I just want to know why you are crying?" He looked at me, a peculiar look on his face.

"Je suis triste."

"Eh, do you speak English or only French??"

"I speak En-english."

"Oh, alright. Would it be easier if I spoke French?" The boy shook his head and sat back down, next to me.

"No. It is alright. I am just used to speaking French."

"May I ask why you are sad?"

"Yes. I am sad for no-nobody l-l-loves me." I felt my heart clench as I looked upon his face. His eyes were filled with tears again, yet he was not letting them fall.

"Oh, it is alright. You must have someone that loves you."

"No. I am not loved by anyone. They all hurt me." It was then, as those words left his mouth, that I noticed the bruises that covered his arms. I felt tears well up in my eyes and brushed them away. The boy looked at me and did the most unusual thing. He wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tight.

"Oh, you poor boy. How could anyone have done this to you? How?"

"Ah, please, leave this be. Yes, I am bruised and battered, yet I feel no hurt for the people who have done this, did not love me."

"But, it makes no difference."

"Yes, it does. For a person to love you and treat you this way, it hurts far much worse than knowing the person doesn't love you. If the person does not love you, you  don't have to understand how they could beat you and not care." I pulled out of his embrace and looked at him. The tears were gone and all that remained were eyes filled with wisdom and empty of, was it?, yes it was.  His eyes were empty of hurt, as if he knew that it was over.

"How are you not hurt?"

"I protect my heart with a cold layer of ice. Rejection is not my fear as it is everyone elses. Rejection is only a simple thing to put so much worry over. The real fear someone should have is lonliness, for that is something that will shatter your heart, your world." I nodded, not knowing it, and listened as this boy continued to talk of things that amazed me, things that I felt the same about.

*Two Weeks After Autumn and Bill's Fight*

Autumn's Pov:

I walked into the kitchen, setting the groceries down on the counter.

"Hey, Autumn. Do you want to go to dinner with the band tonight?"

"Sure. Can I bring Sonny?"

"Course. Bill is bringing Ella, Gustav is bringing Gracie, and Georg is bringing his new girlfriend."

"Oh, him and Cassie broke up?"

"Yeah. I have no clue why. They were a really awesome couple."

"Well, sometimes the greatest couple has underlying problems."

"Yeah, like you and Bill."

"Hey, hey! Don't be bringing the past up." Kara shrugged and leaned against the counter.

"It's true. But you have Sonny now. Best part is he's so cute and adorable."

"I know. Plus, we've been best friends for like ten years."

"Yeah. And since he doesn't have a band, because he wants a solo career, he won't be called away all the time like he was before."

"Yep. So, when is this dinner."

"In ten minutes."

"Ahh! Why didn't you tell me before?"

"You were busy."

"Oh, okay. Well, let me get ready."

"Ok. I'll wait."

"Alright." I ran into my room and picked up the phone. Sonny answered on the first ring and I  told him we were having dinner with Tokio Hotel and to just come on over. I hopped in the shower and set a new record as I hopped back out in 2 minutes, all clean.

"Hey, Autumn. It's just at Gracie's house, so just wear jeans or a skirt."

"Kay." I put on eyeliner and a little lip-gloss, then hurriedly pulled on my clothes. I brushed my newly layered hair and put a headband on, cursing as my bangs fell in my eyes, causing me tobump into the nightstand in my room. Yes, I had a mirror over my nightstand even though I also had a bathroom in my room that had a mirror.

"Hey, Autz, you ready?" I turned and smiled at Sonny.

"Yeah."

"Wow, you look really good."

"Thanks."

"I really like your hair. It's a really cool look for you."

"Yeah, I know. I've wanted this since I was twelve."

"I remember." I smiled again and kissed him.

"Ah, thanks."

Normal Pov:

*At Lunch*

Autumn: Biiilll! Look. *Points to a sign*

Bill: Wow. That's really cool. Wanna go see it? *Pulls Autumn cloer to him*

Autumn: Eck. No. I HATE those kind of movies. They give me the creeps.

Bill: I'll keep you safe. I promise.

Autumn: *Rolls eyes* Fine, but if I get nightmares, by God, I'm blaming you.

Bill: *Laughs* Alright. *Tucks a loose piece of hair behind Autumn's ear*

Kara: Are we done with this moment of looking into each other's eyes? It's creeping me out.

Autumn: *Scoots away from Bill* You're just jealous because you have no one.

Kara: Me, jealous? *Laughs* Autz, I like being single. It's really fun.

Autumn: You only think it's fun because you haven't been in a relationship since...since...*Stops and watches Kara's eyes fill with tears as memories flood back*

Kara: *Brushes away a tear* Yeah, I g-guess you're right.

Autumn: No, no. Kara, don't cry. I didn't have the right to almost bring it up. I foolishly don't think that you maybe want to forget how much you loved him and still love him.

Kara: I know. I try not to because he could never love me back. But, it's just, so hard to forget how he told me I was the only person he could actually tell anything to because I understood him. Yet, I can't tell him anything and expect him to understand. *Bursts into tears*

Bill: Ahh, I now see.

Autumn: What?! *Startled*

Bill: I have been sitting here, quietly, thinking. Listening to what Kara said, I understand.

Kara: Y-y-you d-do?

Bill: Yes. This boy, he is your friend, yes?

Kara: *Nods*

Bill: Yet, he cannot possibly see that you love him so much that it hurts. It hurts you to also know he will never love you for he 'goes around'. Correct?

Kara: Ah, yes.

Bill: Simple solution.

Kara: There is?

Bill: Of course. This boy is very special to you. If you cannot tell him anything, tell him the one thing you can. Tell him you love him.

Kara: Easy for you to say. You haven't had this problem.

Bill: No, I haven't because the love of my life was the first to say she loved me. If you tell him you love him, you might find, that he loves you.

Kara: Oh, you're a big help. I can't just come right out and say 'I love you' because he HAS someone.

Bill: *Smiles* Of course you can. If he loves you, then he will leave her.

Autumn: Bill, you might want to stop talking. She looks like she wants to kill you.

Bill: Alright. Call Kitty then. She had the same problem.

Kara: Fine. I will call Kitty. I hope she isn't distracted. *Gets up and walks out of the cafe*

Kitty's Pov:

The phone rang and I jumped up, rushing to get it.

*Phone Conversation*

Kitty: Hello?

Kara: Kitty!!! I need help.

Kitty: With what?

Kara: Love.

Kitty: *Sighs* You had this same problem three years ago. Is it still the same guy?

Kara: Yes, but three years ago, it wasn't the same problem.

Kitty: Oh, yeah. I forgot that you were just best friends and you didn't know you loved him. So, what is it now?

Kara: I don't know how to tell him I love him.

Kitty: Just tell him straight out, when you two are alone. Or ask him if he would like to take a walk for you have something to tell him.

Kara: Is this what you did with Gerard?

Kitty: No. Gerard asked me if I would like to have dinner.

Kara: Oh. Are you two married yet?

Kitty: *Shocked* What would make you ask that?

Kara: Eh, you two have been together for quite sometime.

Kitty: *Not even having to think* Three years.

Kara: Wow. That's a long time. How did you do it?

Kitty: Love. Now I gave you advice, go use it. I have to put up with a lot of these 'marriage' questions daily. Don't ask me that again. Sorry if I'm sounding rude, but it's only so much you can put up with being asked 'Are you married? When are you two getting married?'.

Kara: Sorry. I didn't mean to. I was just wondering since I haven't seen you in awhile.

Kitty: Yeah, well, just please, no more. I have to go. Gerard said he needed to talk to me about something and he's at the door right now. Bye. And use my advice well.

Kara: Alright. Watch him pop the question.

Kitty: Yeah, yeah. Shaddup. *Hangs up*

*End of Phone Conversation*

I ran to the door and threw it open. Gerard stood there, a bouqet of colorful flowers in his hand.

"Oh. They're beautiful." I took them and pulled Gerard in my apartment.

"I know. They reminded me of you. I just had to stop and pick them."

"You picked them?"

"Yes. Did you not notice you live very close to a stunning meadow filled with beautiful flowers?" I shook my head, thinking that this was probably the nicest thing anyone had ever done for me.

"Gerard, are you okay? You seem sort of fidgety."

"Oh, I might as well ask you now." He bent to one knee and pulled a small black box from his pocket.

"Kitty, I love you so much, need you so much, that I would be honored to have you as my wife." I felt tears well up and pressed my clasped hands to my wildly beating heart.

"Oh, Gerard. Yes, yes. I would absolutely love to be your wife." Gerard smiled and slid the ring on my finger. He stood and pulled me against him.

"I was afraid you would say no."

"I would never say no. You are the only man I could ever love. Gerard Way, you are my life."

"Oh, Kitty. That's wonderful because you're my life, my world, my everything. If you had said no, I would've been completely crushed. You're the woman who understands me, makes me feel alive. You make me feel like I'm sixteen again and just finding out what love is." I laughed and pulled back, kissing him.

"Gerard, I guess Kara was right."

"What?!"

"When I told her I had to get off the phone because you were here, she said to watch because you would pop the question."

"Weird. I was standing outside the door, thinking I may not be able to do this and then I had a feeling that maybe this was the best thing life could give me."

"Wow. I was thinking Kara would jinx it and here we are engaged." Gerard laughed and kissed me again.

"Kitty, I believe this isn't the best thing to happen to me."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah because the best thing to happen to me would be after the wedding, when we're married and live together, having children."

"Children, huh?"

"Of course. I can only imagine how gorgeous the baby would be."

"Yeah, it'd have your eyes."

"And your hair."

"It would have to have your mouth because, well, yours is just pure heaven."

"Ah, yep, gorgeous baby. You'd make a good mom by the way."

"You think?"

"Yeah. You're already good with Rachel's baby sister."

"Hmmm, what a baby sister that is."

"Yep. So...?" I grinned up at Gerard, realizing that we were newly engaged and the bedroom was just inches away.

Well, this is a new story I'm testing out. I am actually not at home right now, I'm up at my Nana's. So, yeah. Coming home Saturday and all that good stuff. Well, while I have been up here (only since Sunday) I have gotten a brand new story idea. I knew it would be lost if I didn't type it while I'm up here because I forget things easily. So without further blah, blah, blah talk. Here's *A Bet Towards Love*. Oh, and this -thoughts- those little dashes before words are thoughts. It's all a normal pov in this chapter.

Normal Pov:

Tom: I don't see why we have to do this.

Bill: Stop whining. We are here to do this whole shopping thing. Right, Autumn?

Autumn looked up and nodded, obviously distracted.

Bill: What's wrong?

Autumn: Well, it's been so long since I've been in America and that person over there looks really, super familiar.

Bill: Oh. I kinda forgot that you were in Germany for five years. Wow, it seems like you were only there for three months. *laughs*

Autumn: Bill, I'm serious. That girl looks really familiar. She looks like....

Bill & Tom: YOU!

Autumn: Dude, creepy. Don't ever talk in unison again.

Bill & Tom: Why not?! *Look at eachother and start laughing*

Autumn: I said stop it. Yeah, she does look like....OH MY GOD!

Tom: What?! Ahhh! Lady, you're scaring me.

Autumn: *Runs off yelling to the girl* Kara! Kara! My twinny kinny! Woot! Oh hellz yeah! *Hugs the startled Kara*

Kara: Whoa. Hey. Oh, God. What are you doing back in America?

Autumn: Well, Tokio Hotel are touring here and I'm with them.

Kara: You mean that they're here?! Like here, in this store?

Autumn: Yes. Calm down.

Kara: I'm sorry. It's just I haven't seen them in three years.

Autumn: I know. You moved to Ireland and then back to here.

Kara: No. I didn't move back here. I still live in Ireland. I'm just visiting. Wanted to see what it was like now. So?

Autumn: I want you to meet them. Or rather re-meet them. *Starts pulling a protesting Kara towards the band*

Bill & Gustav: KARA!!!!!!!! *Both give Kara a huge hug*

Tom: Hey. *Looks back at his cell-phone*

Kara: I see you're still chatting up those girls. Georg, I missed you! *Gives Georg a loud, smacking kiss on the cheek*

Georg: Oh my! I missed you too, Kara-Bear.

Bill & Gustav: How come we didn't get kisses? And why do you hit us everytime we call you that, but not Georg?

Kara: Cause Georg didn't use my nickname to make fun of me. And no kisses for you because I just missed Georg a lot more. Oh, and Playa over there.

Tom: Who you calling a Playa, bunny foo foo?

Kara: *Grins* Little bunny foo foo, hopping through the forest, scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head.

Bill: Hey, we got the best friends back! Yay! Autumn, can we really go now? I have to go-AHHHHH! *Runs out of the store as Autumn picks up a poster and shoves it in his face*

Autumn: Biiiiiiiiillllllll DON'T RUN AWAY FROM ME!!!!! *Runs out after Bill*

Kara: Wow. What crazy carrots.

Gustav: Karaaaaa!

Kara: Gustieeeeeeee!

Gustav: I missed you. Tom did too.

Tom: Er, what? *Looks at Kara and raises an eyebrow* Why are you looking at me like that?

Kara: Your face or the face your making while texting is sooooooooo funny. So, are you into this little chickadee?

Tom: Well, we have been going out for some time.

Gustav: Three months. *Picks up a CD and absent mindedly looks at the songs on it*

Kara: Wow, Macho Man got a girl. Sweet. I think I'm gonna go after Autumn now. *Runs out of the store*

Tom: -Wow, I just got my best friend back. And what the hell is my heart doing?-

Gustav: Tom has a crush!!!!!!!

Tom: What are you talking about? Kara is just my best friend. -At least we should still be. Her moving made no difference. We still talked to eachother 24/7.-

Gustav: Then what was that look on your face? Tom, I know that look. That was the look you gave Steffi and then that night you told me you had a crush on her. -Mwahahaha, bringing Steffi up is always so much fun.-

Tom: Stop bringing Steffi up. Y'know it was just a harmless crush and I didn't intend to do anything.

Gustav: And that's why you banged her. ALL NIGHT LONG!!!! -Oh, maybe I should have let it be. He looks like he's gonna kill me.-

Tom: Gustav, shut up. That look was on my face because I was thinking of Lissa. -Or at least I should have been. Shit.-

Gustav: Yeahhh. Where'd Georg go?

Tom: Out with Autumn, Kara and Bill. Which is where we should be headed. *Grabs a protesting Gustav and pulls him out of the double doors of F.Y.E*

I decided to fill all of you in on Autumn and Bill's conversation which led to Bill telling Autumn he had cheated. Alright here it is. It's just like a script. It will have the character's name and then their words/actions afterwards. Ok, finished here. Enjoy!

Autumn: Bill?

Bill: Yes. *looks at Autumn*

Bill's Pov:

I opened my eyes and yawned.

"Hey! Good morning, Sleeping Beauty." I sat up and gave Autumn a dark look.

"What time is it?"

"One in the morning. Coffee on the counter, breakfast on the table. I'm going out with Kara for a photoshoot. Have fun and don't mess anything up. Try not to trip and fall over anything either. I'll see you later." I jumped off the couch and grabbed Autumn's wrist, pulling her towards me.

"Don't leave yet. I want to talk about last night."

"Bill, really, didn't we talk enough last night?"

"No, Autumn. Last night, while, I was laying down, I thought about the whole thing. I realized that I never really doubted that I loved you. I was just trying to confirm to myself that you loved me. When you came down and hugged me, it made me see that, yes, you truly do love me."

"That's nice, Bill. Can I go now?" Oh,shit. I knew that tone.

"Wait, are you mad at me?"

"No. Absolutely not. Now let me go." I released her wrist and fell back onto the couch.

"I'm sorry."

"You didn't do anything. So, just shut up and leave me alone for now. I have to go. Bye." She rushed out the door, slamming it behind her. What the hell did I do now?

Autumn's Pov:

"Hey, Kara."

"Hi, toots. Why the glum face?"

"It's nothing. Really."

"Yeah. Y'know it's something. What is it?"

"Bill."

"I knew it. What did he do?"

"Obviously he doesn't realize that last night, after we talked about this whole screwball thing, he told me that we should give it a break because....because he couldn't d-do this anymore."

"Do what?"

"We may seem like a perfect couple, but we're not. We fight and then pretend it's alright. It's not. When I called you this morning and told you about the whole thing about last night excewpt for what Bill said about, yeah, y'know, I was just on the verge of tears, but I didn't want to wake Bill up." I wiped away a lonely teardrop and grabbed onto Kara as she hugged me.

"Baby, it's alright. It's okay."

"No. It's not because Bill told me something else."

"What was it?!"

"He said t-that there w-wa-was another girl. It was just one n-night, but he s-still slept with her. Bill cheated on me!"

"Autumn, that boy deserves a good kick in the ass. Making a lovely girl like you cry. What an idiot." I looked up at Tom and gave him a watery smile.

"That means a lot considering you're his brother."

"Well, yeah. I cheated, but, y'know, I actually remembered telling Kara. Oh, wait. I didn't tell you. You were there. Sorry." Kara whacked him upside the head and gave me a huge griun.

"Don't mind his stupid ass. He doesn't know a thing." I laughed and hugged Kara again.

"Shall we go? I'll be happy to give Bill a kcik in the ass when I get home, but for now....LET'S GO TAKE SOME PICTURES!!!"

"Whoa, calm it down, lil sis."

"By twelve minutes, you pain in my ass. Alright. Wait! I forgot."

"What?!"

"We don't have a photoshoot today."

"Damn you, Autumn."

"Hehe, but we can still take pictures. Geoffrey said he would always take us. Shall we?"

"Yeah, but we need new clothes."

"Oooohhhhhh. We do!"

"SHOPPING SPREE!!!" I laughed and we, me and Kara, ran out to shop.
