TH - Long lost friend Chap 15

"Oh my god!"

Bill threw his arms round his mum as she stumbled
back laughing at hers sons sudden reaction.

"Aw Billy!"

"I missed you so much! What are you doing here!"

Simone pulled out of the hug,
almost astonished.

"Didn't you hear?!"

"Hear what?"

"Sweetheart an innocent person has just been murdered
last night not too far away from here, it was in the newspaper."

"So theres a killer on the loose!?" His voice cracked.

"Iam afraid so. Thats why I came back early,
I didn't want you to be the next to get murdered."

She stroked at his dark hair and smiled.

"Mum I highly doubt that I would be next."

"Well it's better to be safe then sorry darlin."

"....I guess."

They both walked into the living and made themselfs comfortable
on the sofa.

"So, isn't Georg with you?

"Nooo.. Why should he?"

"Well I could of sworn I heard you talking to someone."

Bill's eyes grew wide. 'Crap she heard'.
How would she react if she found out a ghost was living with him?
He cleared his throat.

"Urm.. T-that was the urm.. the TV!"

"Oh right well I could of sworn-......What's that?"

Bill looked in his mothers direction,
to see the music box that Tom got him sitting there on the coffee table.
He quickly thought of an excuse.

"Oh that?.. I urm.. got that up in town."

Simone picked it up gently to gander at it.

"Oh Bill it's beautiful, I never knew you were into things like this.
What shop did you get it from?"

"Shop?!" Bill choked. "Oh urm.. I can't really remember the name of it."

He quickly snatched the pretty object from his mum's hands
startling her and raced up the stairs.

"I'll go put this in my room! Be right back!" He shouted.

....

Bill shut the door behind him and gave a big sigh.
The ghost was found laying on the bed close to dozing off.

"Tom!"

"huh? Did you buy some make-up?" He said tiredly.

"What?- no! It wasn't a sales lady, it was my mum!"

"WHAT!?"

"Shhhh she might hear you." Bill whispered.

"I thought she was gone for a few months."

"She was but then she came back cause theres a killer on the loose!"

"A killer!!?"-

Both of them froze when they heard footsteps
coming up the stairs.

"Tom hide!"

"She might not see me!"

"If I can see you, Iam sure she can see you too, now hide!"

"Where!?" Tom panicked.

Bill ran to his wardrobe and opened the doors,
motioning Tom to hide inside.

"Here! Quick!"

Tom jumped from the bed and climbed inside the wardrobe
pushing some clothing to the side to make room.
He crouched down and brought his knee's to his chest giving Bill a thumbs up.

"Don't make a sound."

Bill steadily closed the door and placed the music box on his desk.
Just before his mum entered his room.

"Sweety are you okay? I thought I heard voices."

"Voices?" Bill laughed nerviously. "No, no voices here!"

"Did Georg sleep here last night?"

"Urm.. no, why?"

Simone pointed towards the bed that was made on the floor
next to Bill's.

"Oh silly me!.. Georg did slept here last night, my mistake hehe!"

"Oh well that's nice! It always good to spend time-"


'THUD!'

They both looked over at the guilty wardrobe.
Bill immediatly tensed up.

'Shit Tom..' He thought.

Who knew a ghost could make such a racket.
The small boy felt his whole body heat up with dred.
Waiting for his mums reaction..

"Bill.... What was that?"

..........

"Cat?"

"Bill...... We don't have a cat.."

Bill imagined punching himself mentally in the face.
That was it.. He was doomed.

Simone made her way over to the wardrobe..
And opened the door.

"No wait-"

"Bill Kaulitz!" She shouted.

"Look at this! Your clothes are all hung up neat! Iam so proud of you!
You never usually hang your clothes up!"

Bill raised an eyebrow.
He rushed over to the wardrobe and opened the other side of the door,
to see the inside neat in tidy.. But no sign of Tom.

'What....'

.......

"Urm yeah... Ta..Da..?"

His mother smiled and gave him a big hug.

"Aw well done sweety!"

....

'Knock Knock!'

........

"Hm I wonder if that's your cousin at the door."

The two made there way downstairs.
Bill was still very confused over his dissappearing friend.

Bill stood behind her as Simone opened the door.
She slowly opened the door to see a handsome young man with his dreds
tied back and baggy clothes. He smiled.

"You must be Mrs Kaulitz." He said sweetly.
"Iam here too see Bill, Iam a friend from school."

"TOM?!" Bill barked with wide eyes.

"Hey Bill! I haven't seen you in some time!" He winked.

Bill smiled. Now he understood.

"It's good to see you Tom!" He acted.

Bill's mum interupted. "I never knew you had a buddie from school Bill!"
"Why don't you invite him in!"

"Thats a great idea!" Bill laughed.

"Thankyou Mrs Kaulitz." Tom said politely.

She giggled. "Oh you can call me Simone!"

Tom entered the house,
as Simone made her way into the kitchen to fetch them something to drink.
Bill turned to Tom with a huge grin on his face waiting for an answer behind Tom's magic act.

"Tom how did you?-"

"Hello ghost." He laugh. "I flew through the back of the wardrobe and out the house."

"Why didn't you tell me that before!? You could of done that ages ago."

"But I can't do it all the time, it's not that easy you know!"

Bill giggled loudly. "Thanks!"

"For what?"

"For not getting me in trouble."

Tom smiled at the smaller boy and put an arm around him
bringing him into a hug.

"Anytime little buddy." He laughed.

........


"BILL!" Simone called from the kitchen.

"Yeah mum!"

"Get in here and help your little lady out!"

Bill jogged into the kitchen,
as Tom made his way into the front room.

"Whats up mum?"

"What's up? Bill why didn't you tell me you had a friend from school?"
She whispered.

"It... It just didn't cross my mind..?"

Simone rolled her eyes as she turned the kettle on.

"He's cute isn't he.." She smiled.

"Who Tom?!" Bill blushed. "Urm... Well yeah.. I guess he's.. an appealing guy."

"Would you date him?"

"MUM!"

"What? He's cute enough for my boy."

"Mum this is really embarassing can I go?.."

"Go on then!" She laughed.

Bill quickly exited the room and entered the frontroom
with his head down, trying to hide his red face
as he found a seat next to Tom on the sofa.

.......

"My mum thinks your cute.."

Tom burst into a fit of laughter at Bill's random comment.
Bill shoved his silly friend away and off the couch.

'thud'

"Tom do us both a favour and shutup!"

"Iam sorry!" He smiled wipping the last tear.
"I just found it funny.. the way you said it."

Bill just rolled his eyes over
The smallest things that set Tom off..

....

"What else did she say?"

".......She ask if I would ever date you.." Bill said bluntly.

"Oh....."

The two boys turn there heads away from each other to hide there smiles.
Them? Dating?..... And other 'things' that couples do..

Tom got up from the floor and sat back down next to Bill,
trying to get as close as possible.


.........


"But would you.....?"

"What?...."

"Nevermind.... I knew I shouldn't have ask.."

......

"Urm well...... you.. just... urm..." Bill stuttered nerviously.

"Is it because iam... you know.... dead.."

"What? No! no.. of course not Tom!.."

"Because your not gay....?"

........


"No..Tom........... I am... Gay......" Bill said quietly.

Tom froze.
Bill? Gay? Never would he have thought that Bill liked guys!
Iam mean yeah he might of wore make-up and owned the same features as a girl,
but.... he never knew...

"I bet you hate me now.."

"What? Because you gay!?" Tom made Bill turn to him.
"Bill.... I would never hate you..."

The two boys smiled at each other and gave each
other a warm hug.

"It feels good to get that off my chest to tell you who I really am...
I feel..... excepted.."

...........

Tom broke away from the hug and looked at Bill seriously.

"I need to tell you something now.."

"Your not gay..... Are you?.."

"No Iam not gay." Tom laughed.

.............

"Iam actually a bisexual.."

Bill's eyes immediatly grew wide.

"Wow........ So.... You like girl's.. And guy's??"

"Urm... Yeah..." Tom admitted.

........

"Which side do you.. lean to the most....?" Bill questioned.

"I.. Urm..... Like... Guy's more......." He blushed.

Bill smiled as a giggled escaped him.

"I guess that makes two of us!"

"Yeah..... I guess it does..!"

........

"Who wants coffee!" Said a very chirpy Simone that entered
the room with three cups of coffee on a tray.

Bill smiled up at her. "Thanks mum!"

"Hey Tom." Simone begun. "Do you know when your parent's want you home?"

"Urm actually mum.. Tom doesn't.. Have any parents.."

"Aw Iam sorry!.. Where are you staying then?"

"He was staying with urm..... his.. big brother but he got kicked out!" Bill lied.

"Aw sweety!..." Simone cooed. "Why don't you stay here until you sort it out with your brother!"

"Thankyou Simone." Tom smiled. "But I don't want to be a bother."

"Oh nonsense! You can stay here as long as you want!"

"Really?.. Thankyou Mrs Kaulitz."

Simone smiled, as she exited the room with her coffee
and back into the kitchen.

"Looks like you will be staying with me after all!" Bill said excitedly.

"Yeah, it will be much better then hiding in that uncomfortable wardrobe!" Tom laughed.
