You took off your stage clothes and got into a car to meet them at the address they'd given you, as it was already 5pm. It took you an hour to get there because of problems on the freeway. You don't see any photographers as you get out of your car, and you're relieved to get into the building at the address Bill gave you.

You're told to wait at the reception desk and an agent will pick you up. You wait 5 minutes before an agent shows you where to go, you're extremely stressed it's been a few months since you've sung in collaboration with other artists or any of your native country's people. You're ushered into a room where Bill is waiting for you:

Y/N - Hello Bill.

Bill - Hello Y/N.

Y/N - Can we be on first-name terms? You say with a nervous laugh.

Bill - Ah yes, of course, no problem haha! The other members will be here soon, they're just having trouble on the road.

Y/N - No problem at all.

Bill asks you questions like how you learned German and you tell him that you weren't born in the USA but in Germany and that you had to move so you became bilingual.

You spend 15 minutes talking about your careers and Bill receives a message saying that the band members will be here soon.

That's when you hear the knock, so you get up to open the door when you see the 3 members of the tokio hotel group. Each of them shakes your hand before discussing the sound you're going to collaborate on.

You've been talking for 2 hours about the
sound of the instruments as well as the lyrics.
You soon realize that Tom the guitarist has
hardly spoken at all, and stare at you with incomprehension in his eyes. You're embarrassed but say nothing, and after another 1 hour of discussion you exchange numbers with the others and walk out the door to your hotel.

Y/N - Okay, I'll be off, see you tomorrow afternoon for details?

Bill - Okay, great, around 1 p.m. Sound good?

Y/N - Yeah, great, see you guys tomorrow!

Tom- See you tomorrow Y/N!

And you close the door, walk to your car and drive to your hotel, a super chic hotel in the very heart of Berlin.

A crowd of photographers emerges from nowhere and you run to the hotel reception. You ask for a room on your own before anyone recognizes you.

You put your clothes in order and decide to take a bath while watching a TV series. Once you've finished, you do a bit of planning for your stay, and your agent has also booked you for interviews with various media outlets in Germany.

Tomorrow is your only day off, so you plan morning visits and the afternoon with the group.

You wake up at 6 a.m., get ready and head out to see the city, trying to hide as much as possible, only 5 fans came up to you and asked for photos, so it was pretty calm.

Around 12am you come back to the hotel for lunch before heading off to the recording studio.

At the door you see Tom smoking, you wave and say hello, he stares at you and just waves back.

You go upstairs to find Bill writing.

Y/N - Hello Bill! What are you writing?

Bill - Hi Y/N I'm trying to think of some lyrics.

Y/N - I can help you, you know, I'm the one who wrote all my songs, so...

Bill- Oh yes, with pleasure!

You spend 2 hours on the lyrics before you're finally done and ready to record.

Tom, Goerg and Gustav record the production and you're speechless in front of Tom and his devotion to the guitar, but you soon come to your senses and you and Bill have to sing.

Bill does a flawless job, and it only took 30 minutes of recording before his verse was complete.

Then it's your turn, everyone's looking at you, so you pretend they don't exist.

You sing with such passion. Everyone stares at you, and your soft, melancholy voice silences everyone. After 20 minutes of recording, your verse is finished and you now have to sing the chorus as a duet with Bill. Everything goes perfectly and Bill is really nice to you, as are the others except Tom. At the end of the verse you decide to go and talk to him:

Y/N - How are you Tom?

Tom - I'm fine and you?

Y/N-I'm asking because you don't talk much, even though we made the music together.

Tom - No, I'm fine, don't worry about it.

Y/N - All right, if you say so.

POV TOM.

Y/N- Okay, if you say so.

She's gone back to the others but how can I tell her that I remember everything about her when we were kids?

From her favorite color, her parents, our childhood games when we were 8 and her departure for the United States 4 years ago.

We need to get closer before I tell her, even if she doesn't seem to remember, she's become so beautiful that it made me feel nervous when I saw her again.
