Ivy POV:

« Her boyfriend. » I heard Tom's voice behind me as he put a hand on my shoulder as if to protect me.

I felt even more tense. I could feel that Tom was already on edge before he even understood the situation.

« Wow, Tom Kaulitz, I'm a big fan. » Chad said as he reached out to shake Tom's hand.

Tom ignored his hand and tightened his grip on my shoulder. « Are you as much a fan of me as of my girlfriend? »

Chad turned red and started stuttering when I interrupted him. « Tom, this is Chad, my huh ex. »

Tom gave Chad a warning look and without saying anything, Chad ran off. Tom sat back down. I felt like he had to talk about it, but telling him that I had been cheated on by Chad would put me in a vulnerable position.

« Do you want to talk about it? » Tom finally says while looking straight in the eyes.

I look at the ground without saying anything. I want to share what I experienced with my boyfriend.

He takes my chin and lifts my head so I can look him in the eye. He gives me a reassuring smile and I sigh.

« Chad was my first love. We stayed together for two years, but the last year of high school he cheated on me during prom night.  He tried several times to come back to me but I always rejected him. »

He listened attentively to me while caressing my hands with his thumbs.

« Since him, I have only had one night stands. He made me lose a lot of confidence in myself and in love. » I say, with tears in my eyes.

He wipes the tears that run down my cheeks with his thumbs and kisses my hands. « You're a wonderful girl, Ivy. The moment I saw you I fell in love. Never lose faith in yourself. »

I laughed and he kissed me very gently.

Once we had finished dinner we headed to his car, where there were no more paparazzi. Before I could get into the car, he grabbed me by the hips and asked: « Do you want to sleep at my place? »

« Sure, why not? » I replied while caressing his cheek.

We soon arrived at his house and I found Bill watching TV. When he saw me, he jumped on me to give me a hug. « Ivy, I missed you! »

I laughed and we chatted for a while until Tom came back from who knows where. When he decided to come back he took my hand, pulling me out of his brother's arms and took me to his room.

Even though I had been to his house before, I had never been to his room. The first thing that struck me was a beautiful guitar sitting on the side. I took it for a closer look and Tom laughed.

« You like it baby? » he asked me, putting his hands on my hips from behind.

« It's beautiful, you're so lucky... » I replied.

« That's what I tell myself every day when I see you. »

I laughed as I kissed his cheek, then turned my attention back to the guitar.

« Normally, I would have offered to teach you how to play it but since you already know... » he said as he lay down on his bed.

« Is that your technique to get girls to sleep with you? » I asked with a smile.

« Well yes, and what are your techniques? » he asked.

« I don't have any particular, I'm just me and men loves me. » I replied with a wink.

« Oh believe me I know. When I see all these men looking at you like you're some piece of meat, I hold back from killing them. » he says while playing with his piercing.

I laugh and throw myself on the bed next to Tom. We look at each other for a moment in the eyes without saying anything, just smiling.

Suddenly, Tom's phone vibrates, noticing that he has a new message, he takes out his cell phone and his smile disappears.

« What's up? » I ask a little bit worried.

« Nothing baby. » he says, pretending to put his phone away.

I frown and take his phone from his hands.

Sarah: hey I'm in L.A., if u want to ditch ur lil gf of yours, I'm here ;)

I get pale, I feel like I'm shaking. WHO TF IS SARAH?

« Ivy, it's not what you think... » he said, stammering.

I look at him, tears in my eyes. I throw his phone in his face and slam the door to lock myself in the bathroom. I drop to the floor and lean my back against the door. I put my head between my knees and start to cry for good.

The man I trusted, to whom I revealed my fears and anxieties, was cheating on me? The fucking story was starting all over again. Hadn't I suffered enough the last time?

I took a deep breath and got up to look at myself in the mirror. My mascara had run and my eyes were red. I wiped off the makeup residue and set off as quickly as possible.

I ran down the stairs, not giving Tom time to catch me, when Bill intercepted me.

« Hey, babe what's wrong? » he asked while taking me in his arms.

« I just want to go home, please. » I replied
feeling like I was going to start crying again.

« It's late, if you want you can sleep in my room? » he said while stroking my hair.

I nodded, and, at the same time Tom ran down the stairs, but Bill had already taken me by the hand and led me to his room.

« Can I talk to my girl, please? » he said to Bill, pushing him to try to catch me.

Bill responded by slamming the door of his room in his face.
