PHASES | Tom Kaulitz

Chapter II. Tour.

The tour had been going on for a few weeks now, and April found herself getting closer to Bill. They spent a lot of time together, talking about anything and everything, and April appreciated having him around as a confidant. Meanwhile, Tom continued his womanizing ways, never seeming to settle down with just one girl.

During one of their shows, April and Tom had a moment on stage where their eyes met, and for a brief second, it felt like time stopped. But as soon as the song ended, the moment was gone, and they went back to their separate worlds. Backstage, Tom was surrounded by girls, laughing and flirting, while April hung out with Bill and the rest of the band.

As the days went on, April found herself trying to push down any feelings she had for Tom. She didn't want to complicate things, especially since they were on tour and had to work together. She focused on her music and spent more time with Bill, enjoying their deepening friendship.

Gustav and Georg, the other members of the band, noticed the tension between Tom and April. Gustav would occasionally make jokes about their "undeniable chemistry," but April would just brush it off and change the subject. Georg tried to talk to Tom about his womanizing ways, but Tom just shrugged it off and said he was having fun.

Despite the tension, the shows were going well, and the fans were loving their performances. April poured her heart and soul into every song, and the audience could feel it. Tom was impressed by her talent and dedication, but he never let it show.

One night, after a particularly exhausting show, April and Bill were sitting in their hotel room, talking about life on the road. April was starting to feel homesick, but Bill reassured her that they were all in it together and that they would get through it.

As they talked, April couldn't help but think about Tom. She wondered if he ever thought about her the way she thought about him. But she quickly pushed those thoughts away and focused on the present moment with Bill.

The tour continued, and April found herself getting more and more comfortable on stage. She even started to incorporate some of her own songs into the setlist, and the audience loved them. Tom watched her from the side of the stage, impressed by her talent and captivated by her beauty.

But still, he didn't make a move. He was indecisive, unsure of what he wanted, and afraid of ruining their friendship. And so, the slow burn continued, with April pushing down her feelings and Tom struggling to figure out his own.

As they traveled from city to city, the tension between them grew stronger, but they both tried to ignore it. April continued to pour her heart and soul into her music, while Tom continued his womanizing ways. And in the midst of it all, Bill and April's friendship continued to grow, becoming stronger than ever before.

April tried her best to ignore her growing feelings for Tom as they continued on with their tour, but it seemed that the universe had other plans for her. One night, while on the tour bus, the band members had a little too much to drink.

April found herself sitting next to Tom, who was being unusually friendly towards her. He was laughing at all her jokes and even put his arm around her shoulder. It was hard for April to resist him, especially since she had been suppressing her feelings for so long. But she knew that Tom had a reputation for being a womanizer and she didn't want to be just another conquest.

As the night went on, the other band members, Gustav and Georg, were in the back of the bus, singing karaoke and having a good time. Bill, on the other hand, was passed out on one of the seats, clearly having too much to drink. It was just April and Tom in the front of the bus, with nothing but the sound of the engine and the occasional passing car.

Tom turned to April and looked at her intensely. She felt her heart race and her palms start to sweat. He leaned in closer and whispered in her ear, "You know, April, I've always thought you were special."

April's heart skipped a beat. Was Tom actually showing interest in her? Or was this just the alcohol talking?

Before she could respond, Tom's phone rang, interrupting the moment. He quickly answered it and started speaking in German, leaving April feeling confused and disappointed.

After the call, Tom's demeanor changed. He became distant and aloof, as if nothing had happened between them. April felt like she had been led on and she didn't know what to do or how to feel.

The rest of the night was a blur, with April and Tom not speaking much to each other. She felt a mix of emotions - anger, confusion, and disappointment. She thought about talking to Bill about it, but decided against it. She didn't want to make things awkward between them.

The next morning, April woke up feeling a little groggy but more clear-headed than she had the night before. She decided to bury her feelings for Tom once and for all, and focus on the music and the tour.

As the tour continued, April and Bill became even closer friends, spending a lot of time together writing songs and exploring new cities. Tom, on the other hand, continued his womanizing ways, always with a new girl on his arm.

April tried her best to ignore Tom's behavior, but it was hard not to notice. She wished that he could see her for who she was, and not just another girl to add to his collection.

But deep down, April knew that she couldn't force Tom to see her in a different light. She had to focus on herself and her own happiness, even if it meant letting go of the man she secretly longed for.

April felt a chill run through her body as she strummed the opening chords of their hit song "Monsoon" during rehearsal. Tom, who was standing a few feet away from her, noticed and approached her.

"You look cold," he said, eyeing her thin sweater. "Here, take my jacket." Without waiting for her to protest, he shrugged off his leather jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

April was taken aback by his gesture, but she couldn't help but feel a tingle of excitement as she breathed in his scent on the jacket. They continued rehearsing, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was different between them.

After the show that night, April tried to approach Tom, but he was already surrounded by a group of girls. She sighed and walked away, feeling disappointed once again.

The next day, during their soundcheck, Tom acted as if nothing had happened between them. He was friendly but distant, and April couldn't help but feel a little hurt.

As the tour continued, April found herself getting closer to Bill and Georg. They would hang out together after shows and explore the different cities they were performing in. She appreciated their friendship and how they were always there for her, even when Tom was off with his latest fling.

But despite her efforts to push her feelings down, April couldn't help but feel drawn to Tom. She was constantly torn between wanting to be near him and wanting to distance herself from him to avoid getting hurt.

One night, while they were on the tour bus heading to their next destination, April found herself sitting next to Tom. They were both a little tipsy from the drinks they had during the after-party, and there was a palpable tension between them.

Tom leaned in closer to her and whispered, "You know, April, you look really beautiful tonight." His breath was warm against her ear, and she felt her heart skip a beat.

But before she could respond, Georg interrupted their moment, asking if they wanted to join him for a game of cards. Tom quickly stood up, grabbing the attention of a few other girls who were on the bus, and left April sitting alone, feeling confused and frustrated once again.

As the tour continued, April tried her best to push her feelings down and focus on her music and the band. But every time she saw Tom, she couldn't help but feel a little flutter in her chest.

She knew it was a slow burn, but she was willing to wait and see what would happen between them. She just hoped that in the end, her heart wouldn't end up getting broken.
