In This Darkness

Forever Together

(I don't know why, but this song always brings tears to my eyes)

(Loris pov)

Bullets were shooting around me, that sound always scared me. I heard someone's cry, someone's heavy body falling, and that scared me. I was always afraid of weapons, and now the image of when I shot Nick came back to my head with a gun to the head, that will always be etched in my mind and I will always be afraid of it before God.Tom's body was still standing in front of me, he didn't move to the side while they were shooting at him, he was brave. I was frozen, I was so scared that I couldn't move. I looked at Georg and Gustavo, they were shooting at the Mexicans. , hiding behind the car. I looked at Bill and Vanessa, they were crying together in an embrace behind the car, and Bill then continued to shoot the Mexicans.Vanessa looked at me and screamed "Lori down!" I was frozen, I didn't know what to do anymore, Tom screamed at me "Lori, please duck." I quickly ducked down and sat next to the tire of Tom's car, while Tom continued to shoot.Tears came to my eyes, I closed my eyes and covered my ears with my hands, I was afraid of this sound. I narrowed my eyes a little towards Tom and shouted at him "Tom, hide, you will be hit." I yelled at him, and he retorted "I don't care, let them hit me, I'm not a cunt like them."I closed my eyes again, while I felt the salty taste of tears in the corner of my mouth. I said quietly to myself "Tom, what are you doing to me, I just don't want you to die." I have to make him bend down and I shouted "Tom, I'm afraid, stop!" He retorted stubbornly "I just have to deal with a few more idiots."I opened my eyes and carefully got up from the floor, I grabbed Tom's hand and pulled it towards me. Tom tripped next to me and I sat down again, while he was crouching over me. "Lori, I'll be fine, I just want to fuck these idiots." He started to stand up again, and I screamed "Tom!"

The pupils in my eye dilated as I screamed at Tom as the bullet went through his shoulder. I started to get up and he was still bravely on his feet. Bill shot the idiot who shot Tom in the shoulder. There is one Mexican alive, who slyly hid behind the car and shot at us, and Cladia's body was also hit and she lay dead.I looked at Tom, with a wounded shoulder. He raised his gun and continued to fire at the Mexican. He started towards the Mexican and I ran behind Tom. I hugged him. to stop him and I closed my eyes shouting to him "Tom, stop, he is going to shoot you." Tom wanted to break away and yelled "Lori leave me, I have to take care of this bastard.There's only this Mexican left, and I'll take care of him."I didn't even manage to stop him or say anything to him. I kept my eyes closed, while I still hugged Tom from the back, and his strong body pulled me towards him, however, the Mexican managed to shoot. The shots rang out and clearly I could hear them going through Tom's flesh.

Tom has been hit, more than once! I heard Bill scream and everyone else, and then someone from the Tokio Hotel killed the last Merxican alive, and the Tokio Hotel won again, but Tom was shot in the shoulder, twice in the stomach, and one shot just past the heart.

I quickly opened my eyes while I was still holding Tom in my arms, and his heavy body started to fall on me. I heard loud and more footsteps behind us running towards us. Tom and I fell to the floor together. I screamed and my tears flowed, while tears entered the corners of my lips.As I sat I lifted Tom's head into my lap and lifted his head up to my shoulder. "Tom!" I screamed as tears streamed down his face. He slowly and feebly let his head fall to the corner of my neck as he spoke softly and weakly against my neck and hair "Lori my dear..."I stroked his head and ran my fingers through his braids as I now felt his tears slide down my neck. "Georg, call ambulance!" Bill shouted as he bent down towards me and Tom, followed by Vanessa. and held out his hand to Bill, and Gustav stood above them, put his hands on his head and wept.Bill took Tom from my arms and lowered him to the floor, holding his head in his hands. I quickly crawled to them, while I quickly took Tom's hand in mine and pressed it to my lips, kissing it with closed eyes.Tom's weak voice said, "Come here, Lori, warm me up." As he said this his voice seemed to be breaking. Still holding his hand, I walked up to him and laid my head on his chest, listening to his heavy heart beat, I quietly said "It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay, okay.."My tears were flowing, I won't try to stop them, Georg shouted "Ambulance is coming in a minute." I closed my eyes, while I caressed Tom's wrist in my hand. Everyone was around Tom, and suddenly Bill shouted "Stay awake Tom, no." I opened my eyes, I saw Bill crying and crying, and Tom's hand let go of mine. I looked quickly at Tom, while he gave me a weak smile and the last look was at me, and then I no longer felt the heartbeat in his hands.Everyone around us was shouting his name, and I was the loudest. His dead eyes remained on me, his light now fading. "TOM!" I cried as much as I could. I cupped Tom's dead face and left kisses on his face saying "Wake up please!" His face was sinking under my wave of tears.I removed my lips from his face and now I looked at him, seeing that he was really dead I screamed once more closing my eyes."NO, NO, GOD THIS IS NOT HAPPENING."I took my hands off Tom's face and let myself back to his chest and leaned against them again, crying like never before and sobbing and screaming. I heard Bill say "My only brother, don't go..." She heard alone and the sobs of Georg above me as well as Gustav, and Vanessa's hands were behind me on my shoulder.

For a second I came out of reality and remembered all the shit that Tom and I went through, and all the beautiful things we went through. He was my kidnapper, my rapist, but I knew, I know and I will know that he loved me like nobody until then, so I won't let him go without me.I opened my eyes and came back to reality, I looked down at Tom's body and saw his gun next to his leg. I didn't resist, I know what I'm doing. I won't be able to continue my life without him. While everyone was occupied by Tom, I bent down to Tom's gun and got up.I stood in front of Tom's body as I put the gun to my head and looked towards Tom. They all turned to me with tearful faces and screamed, "Lori what are you doing!" They started to get up to stop me, but it was too late. Before I pulled the trigger on the gun, I closed my eyes and thought, "I'm sorry, God, for taking my life, just take me to Tom."

Lori pulled the trigger and the bullet went through her head, killing her on the spot. Her body fell over Tom's dead body as everyone around was now crying and screaming.
