I'm Burning Can't You See?

I was sitting in the den with Bill and Georg. Tom and Gustav went to the store and should be back at any minute. It had been a couple days since Andreas and I talked and since... you know. He had called me but I was too afraid to answer my phone.

"Can I tell you guys something? But you can't say anything." I asked the two boys. I had gotten closest with these two... mentally.

"Of course," Bill answered and Georg nodded.

"Well Tom and I-"

"We know," They said in unison.

"How?" I asked, then it came to me that Tom can talk also.

"Tom can't keep anything from me. I know when something isn't right, or something is bothering him." Bill said.

"And it's not good for us to keep secrets. It also just doesn't happen, we have huge mouths." Georg added.

"You guys haven't told Andreas have you?" I asked.

"No of course not," Bill assured me quickly.

"So did you like it?" Georg raised an eyebrow at me.

"Pft. No. I mean... no! What kind of question is that?" I shook my head trying to believe myself. It wasn't working though. "What all did he tell you?" I heard the door open then close.

"Shh. We can't tell," Bill smirked.

"Thats not fair!" I whined.

"Whats not fair?" Gustav asked walking through the door.

"Nothing." All three of us said together. Tom raised his eyebrow and Gustav gave us a questioning look.

"Seems like we're not in the loop, Gustav." Tom said sitting on the couch with me but making sure we weren't close enough to touch.

"Oh you're very much so in the loop," Georg laughed. I shot him a glare and his smile disappeared slightly.

"Ok... So did you guys tell her yet?" Tom asked.

"Tell me what? Because we weren't talking about anything important." I said rushing my words. Tom gave me a weird look.

"Its nothing really," Georg shrugged.

"We just wanted you to go to one of our shows. Thats all," Bill explained. I heard my phone going off and I looked down at it. Andreas. I didn't touch it.

"Are you ever going to talk to him again?" Tom asked. That had been the first sentence between us since that night.

"Not right now," I looked down at my phone again. It lit up again with an envelope appearing.

'Fine don't answer my phone calls. I'll be over in 10.' I rolled my eyes tossing my phone down. "He's coming over," I mumbled.

"Do you want him to?" Gustav asked, I shook my head. "Then tell him no."

"I can't. I kinda did something worse to him." I quickly glanced at Tom who was looking up at the ceiling. I couldn't help but smile at how cute he looked.

You know this for a fact?" Bill asked.

"She wasn't my best friend." I mumbled. I tried to say to where they couldn't hear me but they did, and they smiled about it. Why the hell were they smiling?

"So what are you going to tell him?" Georg asked.

"Nothing, I'm going to let him say everything." I replied. We heard a knock on the door.

"I'll get it," Bill said. He motioned for the other two to follow. He needed to work on being sneaky. Tom rolled his eyes at how obvious it was.

"Are you going to tell him what happened?" Tom asked.

"I won't if you don't," I smirked. He returned it.

"How did you know that the guys knew about us-well what happened?" He asked. I began to open my mouth when Andreas walked in. "We'll just talk later." Tom stood walking out.

"Hey," He leaned down to kiss me but I just turned my head away. He sat down next to me. "Look, I'm really sorry. She started it."

"And you couldn't stop it?" I still felt bad but I was still pissed about what he did.

"I-I just didn't know what to do," He tried for excuses. They weren't working. "Can we just figure things out?"

"I don't know. I think we jumped into our relationship too fast. We really don't even know each other." I sighed.

"But I wanna know you." He looked at the wall in front of us.

I took a deep breath, "Lets just take things slow."

"So what are we?" He looked at me.

"I don't know. But for now lets just get to know each other." I didn't want to be back with him but I knew I had to give him a second chance. I had slept with his best friend, I couldn't not give him another chance.

"So do you wanna do something tonight?" He asked.

"I can't I have to go to the college in the morning." I really didn't want to do anything anyway.

"Ok then we'll just hang out in your room," He winked at me. Ugh.

"I have to go to bed early thats why I can't go out with you." Did he not get the hint?

"Then lets just go to your room right now," He smirked.

"Were you not in our conversation at all?"

"Sorry, I was just trying-"

"Just trying to have sex. I get it." I stood up and he grabbed my wrist.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked.

"Nothing, I just don't want to have sex all the time." I sighed.

"One time isn't all the time," he snorted. I pulled my wrist out of his hand and walked out. Is that all he wanted me for?

I walked up the stairs and the person I wanted to talk to the most was Georg. I knocked on his door. He opened it and I didn't even wait for him to say anything. I noticed Tom sitting on his bed, but I didn't care. I sat down next to Tom and laid on my back with my arms above my head.

"Asshole!" I loudly sighed.

"Um can you be more specific?" Georg said closing his door then sitting in the chair next to his bed.

"Is the only thing a guy ever wants is sex?" I asked sitting up.

"Uh-well. Not all the time... Tom?" Georg said quickly turning it over to Tom.

"What?!" Tom said in disbelief. "Well, for some guys I guess. But not all of them. I mean there's still some of us good guys out there." He smirked.

"Bill doesn't." Georg added. "Why are you asking this?"

"Because thats all Andreas talks about."

"So things didn't get better?" Tom asked.

"Yes and no." I stated simply.

"So are you coming tomorrow?" Georg asked after a short pause.

"Whats tomorrow?" I asked.

"Our show," Tom said.

"Oh of course! I wouldn't miss it." I smiled.

"So don't make any plans all day." Georg told me.

"To late, I have to go to the college in the morning."

"What time?" He asked.

"Around 7:30."

"Oh gott. We won't be up." Georg said. I rolled my eyes laughing at his expression.

"So where are Bill and Gustav?" I asked.

"Who knows they like to do their own things sometimes." Tom shrugged.

I laid back down. I heard Georg pick something up, then a deep sound went through the room. Tom moved slightly then I heard a lighter sound. They had started playing random songs together. The sounds started to get more faint as I laid there drifting off. So I sat up still pissed at Andreas.

"I can't believe he did that," I said more to myself.

"You don't have much room to talk." Georg smirked.

"Well I'm not going to be pissed at myself." I retorted. Tom shifted a little.

"So you don't regret anything?" Georg questioned.

"There's a reason for everything you do." I laid back down.

"I'm uh going to see uh see what or if Andreas is still here." Tom said getting up and walked out. Georg continued to play his bass and this time when my eyes closed I didn't try to open them.

Andreas' P.O.V

Stephanie left me sitting on the couch. Did she always have to be so difficult? If she didn't want to have sex she could just tell me. She didn't have to get pissy. My phone went off, I had gotten a text.

-What are u doing tonight?

It was Veronica.

-Not much. You?

-Waiting 4 u...

-K. I'll be there soon.

I was about to get up when Tom walked into the room.

"Hey, are you ok?" He asked. Like he even cared. I knew he liked Stephanie. We have been friends for awhile and I know his looks. I've only seen the look he gives Stephanie one other time.

"Yeah, I was just going to go." I said getting up.

"Where are you going?"

"Oh uh my mom needs me," I said quickly.

"Oh well I guess I'll see you later." We said bye and then I walked out.

Tom's P.O.V

I walked into the kitchen seeing my mom cooking.

"What are you making?" I asked walking over to the stove.

"Get away." She swatted at my hand reaching for the food. "This isn't for you." She was probably going to some stupid dinner party or something like that.

"So what do I get to eat?"

"Go out to wherever you want. Take everyone else with you." She smiled.

"Fine." I gave her a kiss on the cheek then went to get everyone else.

I walked into the den where I knew the boys would be at.

"Get ready. We're going to go eat." I heard questions like where are we going and when are we leaving. But I just kept walking up the stairs.

I opened Georg's door seeing her still sleeping on his bed. I walked over to it and she had a small smile on her face. I gently rubbed her shoulder and she made a small moan. I took her hand and shook her arm slightly. "Steph," I tried to wake her. She gripped my hand catching me off guard and I'm almost positive she started to pull me closer. Then her eyes shot open.

Stephanie's P.O.V

I opened my eyes to Tom almost on top of me. I noticed our hands were intertwined.

"What are doing?" I asked.

"I was trying to wake you up and you grabbed my hand and started-" He stopped his frantic explanation and starred at me. "Were you having a dream?"

"What kind of a question is that?"

"Just answer it," He smirked.

"Yeah, I guess." I furrowed my eyebrows. Oh no. My dream. It was about...Tom.

"About who?" He wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"None of your business," I said taking my hand from his.

"Andreas?" He paused I just stared at him. "No you were too happy for that." We both laughed, "Probably Georg!" I punched him in the arm,"Or me?" He smirked.

"Oh my. Get away from me," I laughed getting up from the bed. He stood next to me and ran his hands through my hair. I gave him a funny look.

"It was sticking up a little," He simply said. "We're going out to eat so go do whatever you have to do and meet us downstairs." He smiled slightly then walked out of the room. Why does this boy make me feel this way?

I quickly got ready then met the boys downstairs to leave. We didn't go to a busy place so they wouldn't cause a scene. We all sat at a booth table, with Georg,me,Tom and the other side was Gustav and Bill.

"So where did Simone go?" I asked as we all ate.

"Some dinner thing." Tom said.

" Oh," was all I said. We ordered our food and we were soon eating it.

"Konnen sie mir das Salz?" *Can you pass the salt?* Georg asked. Without hesitation I grabbed the salt and handed it to him. They all got quiet and I could feel them staring.

"Stephanie?" Bill asked and I looked up. "How did you know?" I thought about what he said and didn't understand... Shit. I know what he is talking about.

"Umm. I know how to say pass the salt in German?" I shrugged.

"Stop it." Tom smirked.

"Ok, I am fluent in German."

"I told you guys!" Tom said. They all just smiled.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Gustav asked.

"You just never asked." I simply stated.

"Well I'm glad you told us now so we don't say anything in front of you. Or worse anything about you." Bill said.

"You talk about me, huh?" I smirked.

"Pft, no." He raised his eyebrow smiling.

We finished eating and headed back to the house.

"Well I guess I'll see you guys in the morning. Gute Nacht, SuBseisen Traume." *Good night, sweet dreams* I smirked at them as we walked in the house.

"Gute Nacht." They said in unison.

I walked in my room and put my purse down and my phone on the charger. I pulled out some black shorts (strictly bed shorts because they were really short) and a white tank top. I went to the bathroom and saw Tom taking his shirt off.

"If I knew I was going to have company-" He started.

"You don't," I smirked. "I'll be out in a minute." I threw my hair into a messy bun and began to brush my teeth.

"Ok a minute was over like thirty seconds ago." He smiled. I rolled my eyes and continued. I rinsed my tooth brush and heard him mumble 'finally'. I smiled at him and opened the cabinet to get out my face wash.

"I thought it was only going to be a minute?" He sighed.

"Well I lied a little," I laughed. I began applying the face wash.

He turned on the water to the shower. I finished and turned to him.

"All done," I gave him a full smile. He just laughed. "What?"

"You're just...different," He smiled.

"I know," I returned his smile and turned to my room.

"See you in the morning," He said.

"Maybe," I replied.

"What?" He asked.

"Well I have to get up early in the morning. I have college stuff." He nodded, "But I will see you when I get back."

"Promise?" He gave me a cute smile.

"Promise," I assured him. I turned and walked into my room. I couldn't help but smile at him. But he always made me feel uncomfortable in a good way. A very good way.

I laid in my bed and thought about how we always met up in the bathroom. It was ironic but also coincidental. I got into my bed and pulled the covers over me wrapping them around my head so that my face was the only thing showing.
