Chapter 5
It was only about 20 minutes later that Gustav decided that he was going to leave too, so now it was just me and Tom. Bill whispered something about having to go to the bathroom, and I whispered 'OK' as he kissed me gently on the cheek before standing and almost falling out of my bedroom door. "I'm fine!" Bill half-laughed as he spoke, and a giggle escaped from me.
Suddenly, Tom pulled me close to him. I thought he was going to kiss me, and instantly pushed him away.
"I need to talk to you, dumbass!" Tom laughed, only this time gently pulling me closer.
"Ok... What about?" I asked curiously, watching Tom's face very carefully. Any minute, and he might pounce!
"Bill.. I need to know... Why do you love him?" Tom's voice was filled with concern for his brother, and the seriousness that had taken over his face was almost scary. Then suddenly, it struck me. I didn't know why I loved him... I just... did...
"I... I dunno..."
"Money? Fame?"
"No! None of those things- I love him for who he is, not what comes with him...." I answered quickly, knowing that even to remotely hessitate could potentially make Tom hate my guts.
"Really?" I was beginning to get tired of Tom's questioning of my motives, but I knew he was only defending his brother.
"Yes. Bill... means everything to me. When I'm around him, all the chaos I have been through is made... easier to deal with. I'm not afraid to be who I really am around him..."
"You talkin' about me?" Me and Tom turned to see Bill standing in the corridor.
"Yeah- I was just asking Sarah stuff..."
"Not the 'why do you love him' speech again?" Bill sighed, sitting heavilly on the bed beside me.
"Yeah... But Bill, you know it's only for you I do it!"
"I know- but it's still annoying...."
"Sarah- if you break Bill's heart... I WILL find you...." Tom glared at me before bursting into fits of laughter, instantly making me feel at ease once more.
