We found us | Book 1

See you later

Evi:
We lie in bed for a while, our naked bodies still entwined. We are disturbed by Bill's phone that keeps buzzing.
Irritated and sighing, he sits up straighter, looking for his jeans that have ended up on the floor somewhere.
He can just reach it without having to get out of bed and takes his phone out of his pocket.
I see a look of surprise on his face, but when I ask about it he quickly recovers.
"David wants to see me."
"Already? You guys just got back."
He sighs deeply. "Yeah, no idea why."
"When do you have to leave?"
"I have to be there in an hour."
I sigh and lean against Bill. I rest my head on his chest and breath in his familiar scent.

Way too soon, Bill has to leave for his meeting with David.
I still find it a bit strange that he needs to speak to Bill so urgently this soon after the tour, but I decide not to ask anymore questions.
"Will I see you later?" I ask. Bill nods and presses another quick kiss on my lips before he walks towards his car.
I watch him drive away and walk back inside, closing the door behind me.

It's been three hours when I finally get a message from Bill.
Although it is not the message I was hoping for.
It's all going to take a little longer, and he won't be able to see me today.
What could be so urgent and important that it needs to be discussed on their first day off after such a long tour?
I sigh and sit down on the couch, disappointed.
"Everything okay?" Mom asks and she walks over to me. I shrug my shoulders.
"They barely got home and David immediately puts Bill to work again."
I fiddle with the bracelet on my right wrist and sigh.
"That's the life of a rock star, I guess." Mom says with a small smile on her face.
I nod and decide to help mom in the kitchen.
Nick and Jessy made dinner for everyone, but they left all the mess behind. Nick's motto is: 'The one who cooks, doesn't have to clean it up'.

Since Bill has left to meet up with David, he has been acting a little weird. I barely heard from him at all yesterday.
The only message I received was that he will come to my house later today.
I put it down to the stress of the tour and the pressure David puts on them.
Tonight we're all going to the club.
Me, Bill, Alicia, Kim and Tom.
I have no idea what happened between Kim and Tom exactly. It seemed like something was really growing between them, but that also seems to be over now. I guess it was mainly lust after all.
I quickly take a shower and put on light make-up. I'll do the finishing touch before we leave for the club.

I hear the doorbell, followed by some voices and footsteps on the stairs.
I immediately get a smile on my face, open the bedroom door and pull Bill inside.
I press my lips firmly on his but immediately pull back when he doesn't kiss me back.
I look at him confused. I pull my hands away from his waist and take a step back.
His gaze is distant and cold. The sparkle in his eyes has been replaced by a certain sadness.
"What's wrong?" I look at him worried.
Did something happen while he was with David?
"Uhm," Bill stammers. I see a look in his eyes, that I have never seen before.
"What's wrong?" I ask softly, getting more and more concerned.
"I can't be with you anymore, sorry."
"What do you mean?" I ask and a chuckle leaves my mouth, not sure if I heard him right.
"I'm breaking up with you."
Tears form in my eyes and it feels like Bill just stuck a knife straight into my heart and is twisting it to do more damage.
"What? Why? Everything was fine yesterday? What happened? Did something happen with David?" My voice is weak and shaky.
Bill shakes his head.
"I just don't have feelings for you anymore."
Tears roll down my cheeks and it takes every effort not to collapse right here and now.
"What about yesterday? Everything was fine and suddenly you tell me you don't have feelings for me anymore?"
He shrugs his shoulders and when my eyes meet his I believe every word he just said.
His gaze is cold, indifferent. That's not how you look at someone you love.
"You can't be serious.."
I feel hurt, used, broken, but also angry and empty. Like someone just ripped my heart out of my chest and left a void.
"Sorry Evi, it was fun, but it stops here and now."
I nod and look away, tears running down my cheeks.
"I thought you were different." I try to make eye contact with him again, but he avoids it.
"I gave you everything, I trusted you.. How could you? Why would you do that? You lied to me.."
"It was all a game. You being a virgin made it more exciting."
"It was all a lie? You just used me? How could you do that? How can you damage my trust like that? After everything I told you, after everything that happened?"
"Sorry." His voice sounds cold but also a little hoarse.
He turns around, leaves my room and closes the door behind him.
"What?! No, Bill!" I follow him downstairs, but Bill is already outside and I see him get into a car and drive away.
Who was that? That's not Tom's car, nor Bill's or Andreas's...
