Ivy POV:

I was with Tom in the bathroom, trying my best to disinfect his wounds. Fake nails were real weapons, I can tell you that.

"You know, I love it when you play nurse with me, but this shit is really starting to hurt," he said with a half-smile that made me laugh instantly.

"I'm sorry about my sister, I knew she'd freak out sooner or later..." I say seriously.

Tom looked up at me to take my hand, which was disinfecting his face full of scratches.

"I just hope you're not like her," he said, kissing my hand.

"Oh for that, don't worry. I look more like my other sister." I say with a laugh.

This was exactly why I didn't want him to meet my family. Chloe was crazy, too protective, thought she was my mother and obviously a wrestler too, and my other sister, Cordelia, was... tough. Emotionally speaking.

I loved them in spite of everything, but living with those kind of girls, the kind of popular girls that everyone respects in high school I mean (yes, like in the movies), wasn't always easy, believe me.

"And how's your other sister?" he asked, grimacing as he smelled disinfectant.

"She's more reserved I'd say, very intelligent too and above all very beautiful." i replied.

"When can I meet her?" he asked.

"I wanted to invite her to the concert but the flight prices are too expensive..." I replied.

"Why didn't you ask me to pay for it?" he reproached me.

I frowned. I knew that Tom was rich and that I could have asked him to help me, but I hated being in the position of someone who needed help.

"I don't want to be financially dependent on anyone," I replied, concentrating on his wounds.

"Shall we say this is a gift I'm giving you to console you for losing one of your sisters?" he said with a pout.

"You'd really do that for me?" I asked with an embarrassed smile.

"You know I'd do anything for you." he replied and I immediately kissed him.

We stayed like this for a while, until Georg knocked on the door.

"Is everything all right here?" he shouted through the door.

"All's well!" we replied at the same time.

After this rather moving moment, I headed for Bill's room. I couldn't even imagine how he must have felt at that moment. Chloe may be a little cunt but at least she made him happy.

I knocked on the door, and hearing Bill say I could come in, I entered his huge bedroom.
He was lying on his bed, staring at the wall. I really felt sorry for him.

I sat on the edge of his bed, stroking his leg gently.

"How are you, buddy?" I said in a gentle voice.

"My girlfriend is a psychopath who just wanted to get close to you by using me, how do you think I'm doing?" he says, putting his face in his hands.

"I don't think she was using you to get close to me-" I was cut off by Bill.

"I do, when we spent time together, she kept asking me if I'd seen you with Tom, how Tom was behaving with you, if I thought your relationship was going to last..." he said sniffling loudly.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Was my sister using Bill to get close to me? Her behavior was incomprehensible; as far as I knew, she'd never done that with Chad?

"Bill, my sister's a little bitch. You're the lead singer of a world-famous band, you've got tons of groupies who dream of having a boyfriend like you. Tons of girls would kill to be with you." I tell him, forcing him to look me in the eye.

He took me in his arms and I stroked his back gently.

"I'm so lucky to have you in my life," he whispered, kissing me on the forehead.

"I'm just sorry I introduced you to my sister," I said with a half smile that made Bill laugh instantly.

"Don't worry, I'll get over it." he said and I hugged him one last time before leaving his room.

I made my way back to Tom's room. I discovered him observing what was inside the little box he'd been holding earlier.

"So, what's this?" I said, startling him.

"I wanted the perfect moment to give it to you..." he said with a pout.

"Any moment is perfect when it's with you, Tom." I say, stroking his cheek.

He instantly dropped to his knees and opened the small box, which now held a magnificent diamond ring.

"Oh my God, Tom-" I said before being cut off by Tom.

"Ivy, this ring is a promise. Before I met you I wasn't even sure I'd meet the love of my life, but now I know it's you. I want you to wear it as a promise that you'll stay with me, no matter what." he says with a smile that's just too cute.

He took the ring and slipped it on my finger. It suited me perfectly, and I wondered how it was possible, but I was too blinded by this wonderful moment to say anything.

"I love you, Tom."

"I love you more."

Suddenly, Georg, Gustav, Bill, Molly, Alex and Christina came storming into the room, shouting with joy.

"WE HEARD IT ALL FROM BEHIND THE DOOR!" shouted Tina before throwing herself into my arms.

"Yeah, of course you had to ruin this wonderful moment..." I heard Tom mutter, which made everyone laugh.

"HEY, MY NAME IS NOT CHLOE I REMIND YOU." said Tina to her which doubled the laughter.

I laughed as I saw all my friends gathered in one place, enjoying one of the most beautiful moments of my life.
