World Behind My Walls (Bill Kaulitz)

10.

I got ready immediately after I got out the shower to go to Andrew's. I kept it simple, black high waisted shorts with a black sleeveless crop top.

The ride there wasn't that bad and he told me to just immediately walked in, which I did to see him watching a movie. He paused it once seeing my appearance and got up. "Hey, glad you came."

"Just excited." I smiled. "About you helping me."

"That's understandable; just follow me." I obeyed and tailed right behind him, taking glanced at pictures I didn't notice last time I was here.

He took me to a room, unlocking it. "It's only locked because it has expensive shit inside." Indeed he was correct, there was multiple basses and guitars and a set of drums; what caught my eyes though was a huge desktop with a midi keyboard and other things.

"Wow this looks...expensive."

He laughs softly and sat down on his chair. "Yeah it definitely was. Just set your laptop here and later if we want we can take it to my studios downstairs."

"Downstairs?"

"Yes, I remodeled my basement into a studio some years ago. It's where Bill and them and I come to test out shit. Word of advice, food and drinks are not allowed but I will make an exception for you. Just keep the drinks by the couch and set it on the coaster before coming up."

"Got it." I saluted, he motioned for me to take a seat next to him and brought out a guitar.

"You play?"

"Yes, Tom helped me learn growing up, all of them did actually."

"So you know how to play all?"

"Yes but I am not an expert but it's enough to let me produce some songs of my own."

"What about singing?"

"No, not a fan of singing but I have actually did a few vocal backups for some samples I made. Bill actually got inspo from me for one of their songs for their Scream album however they just like made a sample into a small guitar part. It was only a few notes but it ended up fitting really well into it."

"I love that." I watch as he pulled his long blonde hair into a messy bun and bit my lip. My attention turn on my computer and watch as he clicked on a few things before handing the mouse to me.

"Show me what you got." I typed in my password to the files and clicked on one I thought was arguably best. He plug in his headphones and clicked play, I waited anxiously for his reaction and watch as he bobbed his slightly slightly and tapped his fingers to the beat. He motioned for me to grab his guitar to the left and I did so as he now put on the speakers for it to play out loud.

He strum a few chords and I smiled, it does fit well. He smiled at my satisfaction and stopped, hitting pause. "Not bad at all. I really dig this part where your vocals slightly changed tempo and the bass. Where did you get that from?"

I just shrugged. "I mainly make it up but I do get a lot of inspiration from artists like Rammestein, Nelly Furtado, and others."

"Rammestein and Nelly Furtado are like at opposite ends."

We both laughed and I raised my hands up in defense. "I listen to everything, do not judge."

"Don't worry I'm not, I like them both too." He assures.

For the next couple of hours he showed me his past work and gave me a ton of advice and now we was finishing up on messing around with a sample when my phone ranged. I put the guitar down and answered it. "Hello?"

"Are you free tonight?" Tom asked. "I know you're with Andrew but we was wanting to see if you wanted to come over tonight."

"I mean it depends on when I leave."
