You changed my life [Rammstein]

Chapter 30: The truth kills, sometimes

-What is the little crazy doing here, Flake?

-Thomalla, you'll have to get out of here before I ask for security. Lorenz tells her.

-How dare you talk to me this way, it's this little whore who must go away. She shouts, attracting the people around us.

I get up from my chair and face her without being afraid. She really disgusts me and I deduce that she has surely cheated on Lindemann.

-Get away and don't stay there to stare at me like a goldfish out of the water. Says Sophia, looking at me with disgust.

-I repeat it for the second time... Begins the Keyboardist.

-I came to see my lover, it's her who must leave because it's her fault if my Till is in coma.

I control myself hard not to jump over on her and remake her portrait. A footstep advances and I see Nele coming towards us.

-Sophia, I'm very glad to see you here, bitch... Says the brunette, teeth clenched.

Before the blonde does anything, Till's daughter takes out her phone and presses a button on the screen's surface. A hoarse voice comes out of the set, it belongs to Till Lindemann !!

-Till !? Screams Thomalla's voice. I swear, it's not what you think...

-On my own bed, Thomalla? Shouts the singer with rage. How long has it lasted?

-Lindemann, stay quiet. Asks a man's voice.

-You, shut your mouth !! Cries out Lindemann. I want a fucking explanation.

-You want to know everything, Till? Starts Sophia. You don't satisfy me any more...

From the corner of my eye, I see Thomalla choking with her own saliva but she stays in front of us without moving. Nele hardly keeps cool and the people around just look at us.

-Why didn't you tell me so soon? Asks a desperate Till.

-In your opinion ? Not to break my image in front of the media...


The recording stops here and I no longer hold back. I swing my hand against the woman's face and make her fall to the ground.

-Dirty whore !! I scream, kicking her in the coats.

-Jim, stay quite. Says Flake, pulling me back. Let Nele deal with it.

-Release me, Christian. I order with a dry tone. I want to avenge Till.

Two other arms add to those of the skinny and they take me out of the cafeteria. Someone gives me a glass of water that I accept and drink. I calm down little by little and raise my head to face Flake and Marie-Louise.

-Forgive me for what I said to you, Jim. Says the girl, with tears in her eyes.

-All right, Marie-Louise. I reply, hugging her against me.

The girl gives back my embrace and then moves away and looks at me with surprise. At first I don't understand what is wrong with her but I remember directly my rounded stomach.

-You're- Jim? Oh my God !! Whispers the girl, shocked.

-Pregnant, yes. I answer with a sigh. But don't tell anyone, promise?

-Ok... She says, hugging me again, then changes the subject: The scrape that you have just given Sophia is phenomenal.

-Thank you... I answer, looking at her with eyes bulging with surprise. Can I go see Till now?
