Chapter 10 - The interview

You startled awake, drenched in sweat. The thoughts of a terrible nightmare slowly faded from your mind. Looking around you spot Tom, sleeping peacefully beside you, and you can't help but feel a wave of relief wash over you. You snuggled closer to him, grateful for his presence and the comfort he provided, and slowly drifted back to sleep, feeling safe and protected with Tom by your side.

Not long after you finally doze off, you get interrupted by the phone sitting on the nightstand that starts buzzing. It was Marcus calling. "It's 6.30 in the morning what the hell," You think to yourself before answering

-"Hello?" You answer in a sleepy voice

-"Don't tell me you just woke up..." Marcus speaks

-"Umm no... of course not" You stutter as you get out of bed

-"Y/n what the hell, you have an interview at 7.30 on the other side of town" He announces sighing shortly after

-"Why didn't you say anything earlier?!!" You say, trying not to wake Tom up

-"See you in 30 minutes, you better be ready," He says, hanging up

Turning around you notice Tom sitting up looking at you smiling.

-"Oh no, I'm so sorry I woke you up, it's only 6.30" You declare looking at him

-"Don't worry, I usually wake up early anyways" He says getting up

-"I have an interview in like an hour, do you wanna come with me?" You ask while changing clothes

-"The boys and I were going to check out the city, it's been a long time since we were here" He responds, walking into the bathroom

-"Okay no worries, but don't forget my show tonight!" You say after putting on a pair of black tights under a black mini skirt

-"I even got you guys back-stage passes" You smile peeking into the bathroom

-"I can't wait to see you perform again," He says while brushing his teeth

You gave Tom a quick peck on the lips before heading out. In the elevator, you receive a phone call from the dog center. Because of the tour and being out all the time you left Buttons at a dog center.

-"Hello is this y/n" A lady asks

-"This is she" You answer

-"Hello Mrs, I'm the manager of the Berlin dog center and I'm just calling to ask when you're picking Buttons up" The lady continues

-"I'll have my driver pick her up tomorrow morning" You Respond

-"Alright, have a good day!" She says before hanging up

"God I miss that little fur ball," You think as you put your phone in the beautiful white purse on your shoulder. Reaching the hotel lobby you look around and realize that you're early. Marcus is nowhere to be seen. Minutes pass and there's no sign of him. He doesn't answer your calls or texts. If you don't go now, you'll miss the interview so you decide to call a taxi. About 10 minutes pass and you arrive at the studio where the interviewer greets you.

-"Hello, you must be y/n" he greets, holding out his hand

-"Hello! Yes, what's your name?" You ask while shaking his hand

-"I'm Axel" he responds, leading the way toward the interview room

Minutes later the show began and all the cameras were facing the set. Axel sat on a white armchair crossing his legs. As he introduced you to the camera you walked in on the set sitting yourself on a white couch. The interviewer asked you simple general questions when all of a sudden he asked about your love life.

-"I hear you have a boyfriend" He states

-"I do indeed, he's pretty famous himself" You confirm

-"He's part of the band Tokio Hotel" You announce

-"Don't tell me you mean Tom Kaulitz" Axel says

-"Yes... Tom is my boyfriend" You say nervous

-"The same Tom that is seen in this video?" He adds while showing a video clip on the projector

When you saw the video your heart dropped. Tears began to fall on your rosy cheeks. The video contained Tom kissing another girl in front of the mall. The interviewer kept trying to ask you further questions but it was all blank. The feeling of unbelief and heartbreak was too much. You storm out of the set sobbing. With mascara on your face and smudged eyeliner, you leave the venue together with your bus driver. Arriving at the hotel you spot the band in the lobby seeming to be waiting for you. Tom approaches you with open arms.

-"Hey babe, what's wro-" He starts before reviewing a hard slap on the cheek

-"How could you do this to me?" You shout, tearing down

-"I should've known" You start,

-"Once a player, always a player" You finish, running to the elevator

Looking at you in confusion Tom scratches his neck wondering what he has done to cause so much pain.

-"What the fuck have you done?" Bill questions

-"I have no idea" Tom states followed by a single tear

-"Hey look at this..." Georg says, showing his phone to the guys, It was a short clip of the interview.

-"Poor y/n she looks devastated" Gustav replies

-"That bitch, of course, she recorded it" Tom sighs angrily

-"It's okay, y/n will believe you" Bill hopes

Tom starts running to the elevator, hoping to talk to you. He reaches the fourth floor and knocks on your door, multiple times. No answer. He shouts your name, no answer. "Please y/n I can explain everything" He shouts as he's leaning his head on the door.

You were blasting music in the bathroom while sitting in the bathtub. The noise prevented you from hearing Tom's begging from the other side of the wall. Maybe it was better this way. No distractions from the tour. But you loved him, you hated yourself for it but you loved Tom.

After fixing yourself and exiting the bathroom you receive a phone call.

-"I just saw the clip, I'm so sorry" Marcus says

-"Where the fuck were you" You ask in an angry tone

-"You were supposed to be there" You add, starting to feel tears forming under your eyes yet again

-"I got caught up with something..." He says, trying to defend himself

-"Whatever, I need to get ready for my concert" You declare, hanging up

"I hate men" You think to yourself. You decide to take revenge. Dressing up and performing flawlessly will make Tom rethink his actions. Scrummaging through your suitcases you find the perfect outfit. An all white outfit. A gorgeous white tight dress that made your features stick out. Glittery high heels with pearls around your neck. As you were leaving you look at your hand. You take the beautiful golden ring with an emerald stone that Tom have you and throw it on the floor, followed by a single tear.
