The next day

Evi:
I woke up the next day with a few texts, both from Bill and Tom. I quickly answer that I'm okay and get out of bed. I pick out a simple outfit for today and get to the bathroom to take a shower. When the water touches my hand I make a painful face.
I try to wash my hair and body as well as possible with one hand and when I'm finally done, I get out of the shower. I dry my hair and body, put a little bit of make up on and get dressed. I walk downstairs and open the door to the living room.
"Hi." I greet my brother, who is sitting on the couch and walk straight to the kitchen.
"Mom and Dad aren't here!" My brother yells from the living room.
I get some cereal with milk and walk back to the living room. I take place in the couch next to my brother. "What are you watching?"
"How was it?" My brother asks, without answering my question.
I shrug my shoulders. "Fine."
"What happened to your hand?"
I look at the wound on my hand. "Nothing."
He looks at me with raised eyebrows.
"I fell while holding a glass in my hands." I explain.
"They got you drunk?!" My brother raises his voice. "I wasn't drunk! And stop being overdramatic."
"I swear, if one of them lays a finger on you!"
I roll my eyes and get up from the couch when the doorbell rings. I open the front door and see Bill.
"Hi." He says and looks at me a little uneasy. "Hi, Bill." I look at the jacket in his hands and recognize it as the one I left in Tom's car last night. "You forgot this."
"Ow, thanks." I take the jacket from his hands. Bill looks at me for a moment but almost immediately looks away.
"About yesterday," He starts talking. "I'm sorry about Brenda and Leen."
I look at him a little confused.
"I didn't know you and Brenda are a couple."
Bill looks at me with a frown on his face.
"Me and Brenda are just friends."
"Ow, I thought.. Nevermind."
"What about a do-over tonight?" Bill looks at me with a big smile on his face.
"Uhm," I stammer a little skeptical. "Brenda and Leen will be there?"
It's not really a question but more an ascertainment and Bill nods.
"I'll make sure they leave you alone." Bill tries to convince me.
"Okay, where are we going?"
"Same place, same time?"
I nod. "Okay, see you tonight!"
Bill waves quickly and disappears inside. I close the door and walk back into the living room.
"Who was that?"
"Bill, I forgot my jacket in Tom's car."
Without saying anything Nick turns his head to the TV again.
"We are going out again tonight, you coming with us?" Nick shakes his head and keeps looking at the screen before him.
"Come on! You'll have fun, I'm sure." I try to convince him, but without success.

I walk inside the living room, all dressed up and like usual Nick is watching TV.
"Are you sure you're not coming? It will be good for you to get out of the house."
He looks at me up and down and shakes his head.
"Dont agree with my outfit again?"
"Couldn't find a shorter dress, I guess?" He says sarcasticly. I roll my eyes and check my purse one last time to make sure I have everything I need. I have to say that this dress is a pretty short one.
"Can't your sister look cute?"
"Of course, it's just very alluring."
A sigh leaves my mouth and I immediately know what his problem is. My overprotective brother is thinking to much again.
"Don't worry, I'm a virgin and that won't change tonight."
"You know Tom's reputation."
A little grin forms on my lips and a chuckle leaves my mouth.
"What's so funny?"
"Your overprotectiveness, my brother."
This time Nick rolls his eyes.
"You can always come with me."
"No, thank you."
"I have to go!" I say when the doorbell rings and I quickly walk to the door.
"You know what I said!" My brother yell my way.
"Yes!" I yell back. I open the door and my eyes cross Bills. I see Tom already sitting in his car waiting for us.
I quickly greet Bill and we walk to the car, the door quietly closing behind me.
This time Bill takes place next to Tom and I take place behind him.
After just a few minutes we arrive at our location and we get out of the car.
"Are Gustav and Georg not coming?" I ask them when I don't see them waiting outside.
"They are already inside."
We all walk inside and see everyone else sitting at the bar.
We order a drink and when my eyes cross Brenda's she quickly looks away.
When we all have our drinks we walk onto the dance floor. Just like yesterday, Brenda does everything to get Bill's attention.
Tom looks at me with a little grin on his face. He softly grabs my arm and pulls me closer to him. He spins me around a few times before I lose my balance and fall against him.
"Omg, sorry." I laugh.
We keep dancing for a little while untill I stop to catch a breath and I notice Bill standing at the bar, alone. My glass is empty and I decide to join him. I go stand next to him and order myself a glass of wine.
"Is everything okay?" I ask him.
He nods and sips on his beer.
We start talking and before I know it my glass is empty again and Bill orders us some new drinks.
I look at the rest who are still dancing and I see how Leen is dancing around Tom and Brenda just standing on the side. I have to say that, even after what happened yesterday, I kinda feel bad for her.
"Evi?" Bill pulls me out of my thoughts and I turn my head to look at him.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" He repeats his question.
"No, not anymore."
"Because of the moving?"
I shake my head and a deep sigh leaves my mouth before I say the following words: "Because he found it necessary to sleep with other girls." I stare at the glass in my hands and when I look up I look right into Bill's eyes. It's like I just notice now how beautiful his eyes are.
"Sorry." He says softly.
I shrug my shoulders. "It's okay, we were just to different."
I wash the thought of my ex down with a sip of wine. "Your brother has clearly found someone." I say when I notice Tom is still dancing with Leen.
"They are not together."
"So, you are both playing hard-to-get, huh?"
I look at Bill with a grin on my face and he looks back with a little grin as well and shrugs his shoulders.

A few drinks later I'm clearly a little drunk and me and still joined everyone else on the dancefloor again.
When I notice Bill standing still I grab his wrists and pull him closer to me. "Dance, Bill!"
He starts dancing enthusiastically and I look at him with a big smile on my face.
When the music changes to a slower song he gently puts his hands around my waste and pulls me closer to him. Bill looks at me and from that moment my gaze seems captured by his. I place my hands around his neck and our eyes seem locked, like we have no choice but to look in each others eyes. He gently strokes my back and a shiver runs through my body by his touch.
He leans into me but before his lips touch mine the slow music comes to an end. The room fills with loud music again and Georg and Gustav jump into us.
The moment has passed and Georg pulls me away from Bill and starts dancing with me.

I look at Bill who is talking to his brother. When he signs me to come over I stop dancing and walk their way.
"Is it okay if we go home?" I nod and follow them both outside. Tom had a little too much to drink so we decide to walk home.
Although it was quite warm before, it has now cooled down considerably. I cross my arms and cover my arms with my hands.
Bill, who is walking beside me, puts his arm around me and gently strokes my arm.
"I should have brought a jacket." I say.
"We are almost home." Bill looks at me with a little smile on his face and I can't help but feel butterflies in my stomach.

Once we get home Bill walks me to the front door.
"Good night!" Tom yells my way before he walks inside. Bill looks at his brother and then turns his head so he can look at me. I feel a blush covering my cheeks and when it stays quiet I feel a little uncomfortable.
"Uhm," I stammer. "I see you tomorrow?"
Bill nods and he takes a step towards me. He leans his face closer to me and when he wants to put his lips on mine, I turn my head a little so they land just next to them. "Good night!" I say and quickly turn around, walk inside and close the door behind me. I lean with my back against the door and sigh. Did I really just turn down Bill Kaulitz?!
