Only Tolerable//Tokio Hotel •Tom Kaulitz•

Imagine If That Were True

I have no idea when the party ended, but when I woke up, I was on the couch, Bill slumped over on the couch next to me. I yawned and nudged his arm. He groaned and opened his eyes, he looked at me. "What time even is it?" He asked. I shrugged.

I got up and stretched. "I don't know, but I need to find Tom, he and I have shit to do today." I said rolling my eyes. This got Bill's attention. He sat up. "You and Tom have things to do today...together?" He questioned. I nodded. "I sort of lost a bet." I said.

Bill laughed. "Have fun with that." I rolled my eyes and started my way upstairs. I was fucking tired. I about fell three different times on my way up stairs. What the hell happened last night?

When I reached up stairs, I knocked on Tom's door. He answered and opened the door. "Jesus you look like shit." He said as he let me in. I sat down on his desk chair and rolled my eyes. He sat down on his bed. I rubbed my eyes with my hands.

"What time did the party end last night?" I asked him. He shrugged. "3 a.m. or so." He said. I groaned. "I regret that stupid fucking party. All it did was give Logan a chance to talk to me, made us go back to hating each other, and gave me this massive goddamn headache." I told him.

"Yeah, well what did you expect?" Tom asked in his usual pissed off manor. "Changes. Guess that was stupid. We can go get this stupid piercing over with after I get dressed." I said standing up and going to my room.

I got dressed in sweat pants and a random shirt. I put on some deodorant, some perfume, brushed my hair and put on some mascara. I wasn't awake enough to take a shower. I walked back to Tom's room and stood in his door frame, arms crossed.  "Let's get this stupid shit over with." I told him.

He looked at me up and down and scoffed. "Thats what your wearing?" He asked as he got up and walked over to me. I rolled my eyes as we walked down the hallway. "It's a place where people get piercings, Tom, not a fancy expensive Italian restaurant. I think I'll be okay." I said sarcastically.

I was walking in front of him. I wanted to fall asleep, I was tired as fuck. I took a few steps down the stairs before I tripped over my own feet and started to fall. "Oh, shit, damn, fuck!" I said as I started to fall down. I thought I was gunna end up breaking my fucking arm or something, but that wasn't the case.

Tom, thankfully caught me by the arm before I could fall all the way down the stairs. I couldn't deal with this right now. I slowly sat down on the step I was stopped on and ran my hands through my hair and sighed. "Today...today is going to be a long day." I said to mostly myself.

I was surprised to feel an arm wrap around my shoulders. I didn't have to look to see who it belonged to, I knew it was Tom's. I still had my face in my hands when I heard Bill. "Alice, are you okay?" He asked me. I looked up at him and he noticed Tom's arm.

"What is up with you too? You like hate each other and then you don't. I mean I'm not complaining, I just find it strange." He said. Both Tom and I laughed. "I nearly fell down the stairs." I told Bill. "You did fall down stairs, I just caught you before you hit the end." Tom said. I nodded and I stood up, Tom moving his arm back to his side.

"All I heard was Alice go, 'oh, shit, damn fuck!' so, I had to see what was happening. I nodded. "Tom and I have shit to do today. I lost my phone, so if you need Tom or I, call him." I told Bill. He nodded and went back to what he was doing.

We continued our way down the stairs, out the door, and to Tom's car. "Please don't take me somewhere sketchy. I do not need to get an infection because of you taking me to a sketchy place that uses used needles." I told him from my spot in the passenger seat.

He nodded. We eventually arrived to the place and we got out. "I mean, it doesn't look that sketchy..." I said nervously. I sluggishly followed Tom inside. A guy helped us. I was sat in a chair as the guy started to get stuff ready. When he bought the needle up to my lip, I moved away.

"I'm...scared." I said. Tom rolled his eyes. "It's not that bad." He said. I rolled my eyes. "Says you, you've had that stupid lip ring way before I even met you Tom, and I met you when I was 9." I said, fed up with this.

The guy who was piercing me told me to take my time. I shook my head. "I just want this over with." I told the guy. He nodded. "If it helps, a lot of people hold someone's hand."  He told me. I looked at Tom. "No, no fucking way." He said.

I rolled my eyes. "Fucking grow up Tom, it's your fault I'm even in this chair, so please." I asked, holding out my hand. He rolled his eyes and walked over to me and grabbed my hand. Thank Christ.

The guy counted down and as soon the needle made contact with my skin. I closed my eyes as right as I could and squeezed Tom's hand. Before I knew it the guy told me he was done and I opened my eyes. I absentmindedly still held on to Tom's hand, I just wasn't holding in for dear life.

The guy showed me how it looked I'm the mirror. "I mean...it's not bad." I said as I stared at the silver hoop that gleamed from the left side of my mouth. He nodded. "Now you and your boyfriend can match." He said. My eyes went wide and I dropped Tom's hand. "We aren't together." I said.

The guy left it at that and then we paid. On the way home, I don't think Tom and I were mad or hating each other, we were just...I don't know, but it was weird.

When we got home, I opened the door and went to find Bill, Tom following after me. He was outside. "Oh good, your back! I wanted to see if you wanted to hang ou-" he said, cutting himself off. His eyes went wide and started at my face.

"Oh my." He said. I rolled my eyes. "Tom, why." Bill asked towards his brother. "I thought it would be funny." He said. I rolled my eyes. "It's not so bad." I said. Bill nodded. "It's definitely unexpected, but it suits you." He said with a smile.

I decided to head for the shower. As I walked
up the stairs too the bathroom, I thought about what the dude who gave me the piercing me said. 'Now you and your boyfriend match.' Image if that were true.
