Ohne Dich (Sequel to Stirb Nicht Vor Mir)

Chapter 81

February 20, 2004

"How long?" I asked Neil. 

"Two weeks-that's all I'm asking."

"And how long are you going to be gone for-to shoot the movie?"

"One month. I have a minor role."

"Okay."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Thank you so much," He smiled. 

"Bye, Ashton," I hugged Ashton and kissed him on the forehead. "I love you."

"I love you, too," He grinned. 

I got into my car and drove away to where the building my interview was at. 

I walked inside and sat down on the couch. 

"Hello," I smiled. 

"Hi," Micheal-the interviewer-welcomed me. "How have you been?"

"Fine."

"Fine? I guess we all know why."

"Yeah," I awkwardly chuckled. 

"I remember when I first got the news that you two split. I was devastated and all the magazines were saying, 'The Goth Couple broke up!'"

I rolled my eyes. "Why is everyone always talking about my breakup? I'm sorry and I shouldn't be taking my anger out on you, but goddamn! Like, can I have a fucking interview without being reminded that I ruined my relationship on our fucking wedding day?! I have feelings, too, and it affected me. I still haven't gotten over it."

"I'm sorry."

I exhaled. "No, I'm sorry."

He smirked. "Well, at least you're single now."

I chuckled. "Yeah."

"Here's my number," He handed me a card with his number on it. 

"I'll keep it forever."

"So, are you going to be in any upcoming movies?"

"No. I don't really act."

"Why?! You're so good at it."

"Time away from my son and I already have a job."

"What's that job?"

"I'm a psychologist."

"You are? Wow. I would've never imagined."

"Not a lot of people would. It's actually a really tough job."

"How so?"

"Some of these people just need to vent, but then there are others that actually have problems and it's really devastating."

"I guess so, but at least you can help them."

"Yeah," I smiled. 

"I saw you at the NME Awards. I wasn't actually there, but I saw you on the T.V."

"I went with my friend Melissa."

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that Melissa Auf Der Maur?"

"Yeah."

"She's cool."

"She's awesome. We're actually planning on us performing two songs at one of her concerts."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"You'll have to tell me which ones. I would love to see the two most sexiest women in the world on one stage singing."
