Bills P.O.V
Emilies outburst shocked me.How could people be so cruel? She looked so helpless and defenceless, all curled up in the corner of the chair, her tiny frame racked with sobs.I got up and sat next to her, brushing her hair away from her face.She looked up at me, her blue eyes sparkling with tears.My heart nearly broke, she looked so lost and alone.
I felt tears come to eyes but I didn't care.My world suddenly shrunk and it was just her and I.Everything else was a million miles away.I wiped away a tear on her cheek with my thumb.
I looked deep into her eyes, to make her understand that I was deadly serious,"Its ok Emilie,no one is ever going to make you cry again".I cupped her small face in my hands and turned her head to look at me.I saw in her face that she was horrified I was crying.
She hiccuped and asked,"Why are you crying?". I leaned in closer to her ear, her hair tickling my nose."Because I hate to see you so sad",I whispered.I stared into her eyes until, as if from very far away, I heard Gustav say,"Uh guys? Earth to Bill and Emilie, are you there?"
Oh dear, I forgot about the guys.I twisted round and focused back to reality."Ooh look at the two lovebirds!" Tom mocked, wiggling his eyebrows.I sighed, why was I related to this moron? "Don't be stupid Tom, we are not!" I heard Emilie say the same thing.I suddenly realised how close I was to her and moved away. Tom laughed and said,"Come on guys, lets leave them to it."
My head was a mess.Was Tom right? Did I like Emilie,a girl I knew nothing about and had just picked up off the road? My brain was telling me that was impossible, but I don't think my heart agreed.
Emilies P.O.V
After lunch the boys insisted that I stay a few more nights at least, so I agreed.They also insisted that I let them give me a tour of Madeburg.After all,that was the reason you came here, wasn't it? reasoned the two Gs.
The town was magical, better than I ever imagined! It was like I'd dreamt it out of a fairy tale! Tiny cobbled streets, lined with brick red houses.Quaint little cafés and tea shops with yummy looking German pastries and cakes displayed in the windows.(a/n I've never been to Madeburg, so Im just imaging).
"Plenty of pubs too," Tom said,"You can't say you've lived until you try the beer here! Its lecker lecker!" The boys laughed and I said,"Which pub is best?". He grabbed my arm and dragged me into one called Der Rote Weinberg. Georg called to the waiter and said,"fünf Biere bitte!"
The waiter came and put 5 tankards of creamy beer on the table in front of us. "A toast to us and Emilie!" said Georg. I raised the glass to my lips and took a tiny sip. It tasted amazing just like amber nectar! I quickly finished the whole glass and put it down on the table.Bill looked at me and said,"You are going to have a terrible hangover tomorrow Emilie!"
I didn't even last that evening.My head was killing me and my stomach was in knots.I just wanted to sleep."Guys I'm not hungry, so I'm just going to bed." "Good night!" came a chorus of voices.Through the noise I thought I heard Tom saying,"Begs not bringing her aspirin tomorrow".Thanks Tom.I staggered up the stairs and collapsed onto my bed.
