"Do you wanna do something crazy?" Ella asks.
"Tell me." I say, eager to find out.
"We should get matching piercings." She says.
"EYEBROW PIERCING!" We both yell at the same time.
———
Yep. That's what was happening right now. Ella and I were in a piercing show in downtown LA getting matching eyebrow piercings.
I got my piercing on my left eyebrow and she got hers on her right. This would now be the second piercing I have. Not counting my ears, I've got my nose pierced and now my eyebrow.
"We look so good!" I say admiring myself.
Ella agrees and we get a Taxi back to our hotel.
As we are trying to get into the entrance of our hotel, I can't help but see bunches of people, mainly girls, screaming and running towards the hotel next to us. Obviously out of curiosity we went over to see what all the commotion was.
Tokio Hotel, walking into the hotel. They were waving and saying hello to the fans and I only stared at him the whole time.
Tom saw me in the crowd and smiled. He remembers me. Me seeing that he remembers me makes me internally freak out, and Ella notices that Tom saw me too.
"Dang he remembers you and even smiled at you. Lucky huh." She says, sounding more annoyed than happy for me. So she starts walking back to our hotel.
I follow close behind her, but i still can't get over his eyes on mine and his smile when he saw me, I know it's not a big deal but in the moment it felt like one.
Ella doesn't say a word to me the entire time we walked back to our hotel room. Is she really jealous?
We walk into our room and it's silent.
"Are you upset with me?" I question her, not wanting this to ruin our entire trip.
Her entire mood changes and she acts like the happiest person on earth. "What no not at all! You know I definitely like Bill." She says, sounding a little sarcastic but she always sounded like that to me.
I decided to believe her and just get ready for bed. Ella and I had a really big day tomorrow and I was so excited. I don't know how she wasn't kicking with excitement yet, I can't wait for them to play the album Scream. I've listened to the whole thing at least a billion times it's not even funny.

Ready, set, go
It's time to run
The sky is changing, we are one
Together we can make it,
While the world is crashing down
(Ready, Set, Go! - Tokio Hotel)
Ella and I had turned on Tokio Hotel and we're absolutely singing our hearts out. Ella is my best friend I don't even know what I would do without her.
Her and I laughed and watched so many movies, this hotel was really nice and fun. It had good wifi and a nice TV, but while scrolling through the channels there was one that had people interviewing Tokio Hotel so we listened.
"Tom we've heard rumors about you having a lot of girls." The interviewer questions.
Tom smiles and Bill intervenes,
"Well no there was a time that uh Tom had girls that were in and out of his hotel room almost every night!" Bill exclaims and Tom has a smug look on his face.
"Can you confirm this Tom?" The interviewer looks at him.
"I mean maybe." He just shrugs his shoulders, leaving them with no answer.
"Well there you have it folks! Tom is a player!" The interviewer says, leaving the audience laughing, yet no one is surprised.
Ella and I were the only ones not laughing, we sat there blank faced and then both shot each other a side eye at the same time.
Now that weirdly long hand shake with him and eye contact with him smiling at me no longer felt special anymore.
Why was I even upset? Everyone knew he had plenty of girls.
Why was Ella even upset? She said she likes Bill.
Ugh, I need him.
The whole night I was trying to sleep I couldn't stop thinking about how good Tom looked as he looked down at me and held eye contact with me and even shook my hand. I wasn't short but I was shorter than him.
How he looked standing over me when he knocked me over made me not even wanna get up. My thoughts were out of control and he was just in my mind.
"Are you awake?" I asked quietly looking at Ella.
No response.
She was knocked the heck out. She must've been too tired, I knew it was late but I couldn't sleep. So I decided to do a nighttime walk in downtown LA.
I had never been in LA before so why not explore it a little? I'm always at work, now that I'm not I should have the freedom to explore and relax.
———
I leave the hotel and barely leaving, I walk from my hotel to the one next to me, did I do it purposely? Yes I did, but as I approached the hotel someone was outside of it.
I almost didn't wanna walk past it now but I continued.
I didn't know who it was until I saw his eyes.
"You can't just stay away from me huh?" He says, making me stop in my tracks.
I don't say anything I just laugh.
"Man, I knew my fan girls were bad but this might be a stalker level Lilly." He spoke again, laughing, making it known that he was messing with me.
I also laugh again saying, "I knew the internet said you were cocky but I didn't know it was this bad!" I say jokingly.
He nods his head for me to move closer to him into the dark part next to the stairs, I walk over there not thinking anything of it.
"I don't want the late night stalker-paparazzi seeing me with a girl and taking it the wrong way." He gives me an innocent smile and I send one back.
"What are you doing out here anyways?" He leans up against the wall next to me and lights a cigarette.
I explain to him that I couldn't sleep and I just needed to go on a walk and have some freedom.
"I bet you were thinking of me." He jokingly says, stomping on his cigarette and standing in-front of me, inching closer to my face with his.
"You're hilarious..." I laugh nervously and just move away from him slowly. "I've got to head back before Ella realizes i'm gone... Bye Tom!" I wave him goodbye and start speed walking back to my hotel.
No fucking way that happened. He was definitely on something or he's really just a player.
———
I get back to my hotel room and Ella is still passed out. Thank god, I decide that now I really am gonna head to bed.
