Why him? (Chapter 31)

...previously

Amiyah: "Splendid, kaulitz. Thanks."

I thanked tom politely with a hint of an annoyed tone in my voice then abruptly hung up, seeing bill with his eyes widened.

"She's with my brother?"

"Alright -- let's not get carried away, she's just spending time with him, bill." I assured him as I helplessly motioned for georg to help me out.

He noticed what i was doing then opened his mouth in realization. "Yeah! Totally. It's no big deal. They're probably even planning on surprising you."

I felt my mouth made a slight smile and turned my head to georg. "You dummy! Now he knows!" I spoke while laughing awkwardly.

Bill squinted his eyes at me and georg out of curiosity and sadly, suspicion then georg suspected it and cleared his throat, subconsciously wanting to change the subject.

"Movie?"

"Movie."

I fastly pointed at the door and glanced at bill. "Yeah, It's okay, amiyah. Don't worry about me, you can go." He uttered in a low sound.

I beamed a smile at him and nodded and so did georg. Georg went over to me and put his palm in my back as we both walked over slowly to the door.

"I'll see you, man."

"I'll see you."

The both of them told each other as their goodbyes. We were now at the front door, seeing no sight of bill. "Amiyah." Georg called out my name causing me to turn around.

"What's up? Are you alright?" I asked him, frowning. "Yeah.. it's just.. something's bothering the shit out of me." He admitted with his head laid down.

"Oh. What is it? We can figure it out, just tell me." I questioned him while rubbing his arms with concern in my face.

Georg lifted his head back up and looked at her in melancholy. "Miyah, 'course we will. But.. do you also think something's going on with Laurie and tom? Or is it just me?"

I slightly raised my eyebrows being surprised and cleared my throat. How could I tell him? Maybe it'll be no problem. I mean, we do share everything to eachother. Even when we were just little kids.

"Don't worry, love. Sadly, It's not just you." I confessed, sighing. "Oh god." He said anxiously and breathed through his teeth. "How can you tell?"

"The real question here is how can you tell? You barely take notice in this kinds of stuff." I implied, staring at him in slight surprise.

"I know. And -- and, that's right. But..." He paused to take a deep breath. "Come on. It's Laurie, bill, and tom. I've known them all my life." He explained.

"You.. you sure got a point. But let's not make assumptions infront of them alright?"

"I'll try not to."

Laurie's POV

"Let's go home. I think bill's worried."
Tom looked at me with his eyebrows raised and immediately shook his head.

"He's fine." He just shrugged it off. But I'm feeling something's not right. "How do you know? Did he call?"

Tom shook his head as a response and nervously put both of his hands in his pockets as I looked at him in suspicion. "Did anyone call?"

He finally paused in his place. I stopped my tracks and turned around to see him with his head down. "Tom." I spoke sternly.

"Look, Lor, I'm sorr-" He quickly widened his eyes in pure shock then lifted his head back up to look at me, only to see me also surprised.

"Did.. did you just call me 'Lor'?" I said as I took a step closer to him. Tom stuttered embarrassingly and kept shaking his head.

"I'm sorry! I just got used to it with bill calling you that all the time!"

"Tom, who called!"

"Amiyah!" We both yelled.

"Okay. What did she want?"

"She said that bill was looking for you." He admitted and took a step back.

Is he serious? "Are you serious?"

He hesitated to nod. I groaned in frustration and quickly walked over to him and slapped his head.

"Ow!" Tom exclaimed while massaging his head.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did that hurt?" I asked him with my concern ironic and my tone, sarcastic.

"Laurie, listen. I didn't tell you because we were having so much fun together! We barely even made progress since the day you first saw me in the concert."

"I know but after all that issue with Georg and bill and the coma... I just wanna make it up to him. And what weirds me out is you're going first and hell -- we're not even dating!"

"But I was your bestfriend too!"

"Why are you being like this? You're weirding me out. You don't usually want my attention and you always want me talking to bill and always want me with bill."

I kept explaining with confusion and annoyance in the tone of my voice while tom kept shaking his head, being visibly irritated.

"Stop talking, just go to bill already!" He snapped, "I don't need your bullshit. Just hang out with bill 'cause you always want to, right?"

"What?" I knitted my brows in query.  "Tom, you're my best friend too--"

"Oh, right." Tom scoffed and folded his arms. "If I'm really your bestfriend, you would treat me the same way you treat bill."

"That's different! He's different!" I exclaimed.

"No, he's not!"

"Yes, he is!"

He groaned. "I hate you!"

I shook my head. "No, you don't,"

"No, i don't."

Tom said as he sheepishly put back both of his hands in each of his pockets then looked down on the ground, being unable to look at me in the eye.

I sighed. "I know you don't."
