Eclipse [ ENGLISH VERSION ]

-7- REAL FRIENDS

- TOM'S POV -

Philippe
- I'll let you go and see her.

I look up at him.

Tom
- Is there a ball in your story ?

Philippe frowns.

Philippe
- What do you mean by that?

Tom
- You're letting me go just like that?

He sneers, leaning against the wall.

Philippe
- You know me well.

Tom
- A little too well for my taste.

He smiles, looking down at the floor, arms crossed against his chest.

Tom
- So tell me.

He looks up.

Philippe
- You'll be hunted down. I'll know if you try to escape at the slightest opportunity.

Tom
- Escape?

He nods.

Philippe
- I'll know when you're at Blaire's, when you leave, and when you have to come back here. If, in the meantime, you change your ways or try anything, know that you'll pay for it.

I took a deep breath. There was nothing I could say, nothing I could do. After all, this was my only chance to see her again.

Tom
- Good.

Phillipe smiles
- You can leave whenever you like, but don't forget I'm watching you, Kaulitz.

He sends me a wry smile, then heads for the door and into the darkness.

I sigh, looking from left to right, trying to figure out how I'm going to do it.

I can't stay here, it's out of the question. I can't believe I'm going to be allied with him.

I just can't.

- BLAIRE'S POV -

Georg and I are sitting in one of the studio bedrooms. My ice pack against my nose, I stare at the floor, trying to think of something else.

Georg has been staring at me for a while, saying nothing.

I turn my gaze to him, and he suddenly decides to speak up.

Georg
- I had to talk to you about something.

Blaire
- Can't we wait until later?

Georg
- Blaire. I think it's urgent that I talk to you about it.

Blaire
- Georg.

Suddenly, Bill enters the room we're in, annoyed at what's happened.

Bill
- That chick's a total freak.

Blaire
- It's okay, Bill.

Bill
- No, It's not. She pounced on you like an animal pouncing on its prey.

I sigh, dropping the ice pack in my lap.

Blaire
- Where is she now?

Bill
- With Christina and Crysta outside.

Blaire
- Great.

Bill
- You should question some of your friends, Blaire.
