Los angeles (Chapter 5)

February 18, 2004

Laurie's POV

I woke up gently with my eyes struggling to open. Then as I opened my eyes, realization hit me; bill wasn't beside me. Oh fuck.

"Bill?" I started getting up and search for him. Where is he? Did he leave already? No, impossible, I haven't said goodbye to him!

I marched right down the stairs, not believing what was Infront of me, the other three wasn't there. Why aren't they here?!

I looked at the table and saw a gift with a note taped to it. With curiosity getting the best of me, I read the letter first.

"Hey.. lor, we're gonna leave now and we can't bother to wake you up because you looked so Beautiful and peaceful. Look, All I'm saying is we had to go to the airport and go to LA.

I'm so sorry, you're probably thinking that you haven't said goodbye to us yet..." I wasn't even finished reading the letter but I kept thinking that damn it. Bill kaulitz really knows me..

I love you. So much. More than you could possibly know. But, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to change my phone number and try to forget you. I also promise you that It wasn't my choice to forget you. And don't be sad.. we both know I can't be able to do that, lor. Hopefully, I'll see you one day. Once again, I love you."

-- billy.

I started to cry and to prevent myself from crying, I looked at the gift and started to open it. It was... surprisingly a bracelet, a matching one.

I wore it and it was actually perfect for my wrist. I'm forever grateful for him. I'm grateful that he was apart of my life. But, I'm also mad. I know I try to think about others but why in the world would he want to forget me!?

Probably because I'm literally below him and he doesn't wanna be seen with me when he's famous... Fuck, I hate boys. Hate them to death! I'll never forgive him for this.

Oh fuck. His number.

I hurriedly stood up and grabbed my phone from the couch and began to dial his number repeatedly and shouted,

"BILL KAULITZ! GODDAMN IT, DID YOU REALLY CHANGE YOUR PHONE NUMBER?!" I yelled in frustration, not believing that he would do that to me.

Then that's when I knew. He's planning on to forget me.

I threw the phone away so fast and started to cry. Honestly, I actually didn't wanna cry because well.. i disappointingly cry too much.

"Sweetie! I'm home --" dad immediately stopped talking when he looked at me, I looked like a disgusting mess so I didn't blame him when he froze.

"Sweetie... What happened?" He shut the door and placed his coat on a coat-hanger. "He left. They all left." Dad came over to where I was sitting and patted my back telling me that "Everything's gonna be alright, sweetie. I'm here... I mean, if that's enough for you?" Dad jokingly commented and looked at me.

I also laughed and rested my head on his shoulder. "Sweetie --" "Yes, dad. I know everyone doesn't stay forever, but... It's just, I didn't expect them." I sniffled.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry, hon." He comforted me. We stayed like this for a couple of hours and kept talking about our personal stuffs and past. My dad made me feel safe, he's enough.
