Ohne Dich (Sequel to Stirb Nicht Vor Mir)

Chapter 79

February 12, 2004

The whole time we were at the awards, it was awkward. Melissa was having a blast, but I wasn't. I didn't know anyone there and I didn't know what to do. The NME Awards definitely weren't like the VMA Awards. 

What was weird about the VMA Awards was that it was strictly for music, yet there was one category for music. 

After the awards, Melissa and I went out and walked around. 

"Hey, what's the matter?" She asked me. 

"Nothing."

"Come on, there's something wrong."

"Yesterday, Bam called me."

"Bam Margera?"

"Yeah."

"Why?!"

"He was checking up on me to make sure I was alright. Then, I heard his voice."

"Ville's?"

"Yeah. He asked Bam who I was talking to, so I just hung up the phone. I panicked, Melissa."

"That's alright. It's normal to panic after something like that."

"I miss him a lot. Part of me wants to see him, but I can't face this-not after what I did to him."

"I don't think you'll ever need to again."

I nodded my head and hugged her. 

"Did you at least have fun?" I asked her. 

"I had a blast!"

"I'm glad."

I couldn't say the same for myself, though. Melissa wanted to stay out longer, but I went back to the hotel. 

On my way walking back, I bumped into someone and groaned. 

"Oh my God!" I covered my mouth. "I'm so sorry and-Corey?!"

"Adette?! Hi!"

"Hi! Oh my God! I haven't seen you in forever!"

"Me either!" He chuckled. 

"What are you doing out here?"

"Well, I'm trying to go somewhere to get my hair dyed since I don't know anyone who knows how to, but I don't know where."

"Do you have the hair dye you want?"

"Yes."

"I could always do it. I did it to my ex-boyfriend's hair."

"Neil?"

"Yeah. I dyed it blue."

"I mean, if you don't mind, that would be nice."

"Great. My hotel's right around the corner if you want to come."

"Sure."

"I'm honestly surprised you agreed."

"Me too."

We got to the hotel and I was embarrassed at how messy it was. 

"I'm so sorry," I said. 

"Eh, mine's probably messier. I'm not even at my house right now."

"Obviously. You're in my hotel."

"No," He chuckled. "I mean that I'm living in a mansion right now."

"Oh, that's cool."

"I guess so."
