Three more weeks was all it took and then Tom was sitting in his living room with lights and a camera in front of him and his brother and band mates at his side. Telling the story to the public for first time. He had told his therapist, parents, and friends and each time it became a little easier.

“My brother was the one who kept me going the whole time.” said Tom in the interview. “Our twin connection is what kept me alive. The whole time I kept thinking about Bill.”

The next day Tom was sitting in the recording studio listening to Bill sing his heart out. “Tomi, Do you like it Tomi?” said Bill excited when he was finished. “Did I do good?”

“You did great Billi!” said Tom. “And it’s an amazing song.”

The day after Tom was in a TV studio dressing room. The TV station had told fans to come in support of the band during this time and they were running a special on the band. When the special was over they played the previously taped interview. Tom could hear the cheering in the crowd from his room, and it was making him nervous. “Guys.” he said. “I need you to come out there with me.”

“Why?” asked Georg. “We will be out there when we perform at the end.”

“No, you need to be out there the whole time. Please.” said Tom, he look over at Bill who had his hand on Tom’s shoulder and was smiling. “Its okay Tomi, we will.”

The band and show decided to change it up a bit and instead they performed first. When they did the room shook with screams from all the girls there. Tom felt like he was on cloud nine, performing in front of his fans again. It told him everything was okay and that he could be himself again. There was no more fear, no more hiding.

The interview was great, he did nothing but smile in it. They explained how they would move on from all this and about them working in the studio again.

Later they headed back home, the band came with them. They ate and drank, celebrating their come back.

“Tom!” slurred Georg, as everything was winding down. “Tom…”

“Georg you have had way to much.” said Tom, laughing a bit. He looked over and saw that Gustav was already pretty much passed out on the floor. “So did Gustav.”
“I have not had to much!” said Georg, walking over to the cabinet. “There is nothing else in here! Where did it all go?”

“We drank it all.” said Tom.

“Tomi!” said Bill, stumbling. “I think I had to much to.” Bill stumbled into Tom held him up so he wouldn’t fall and hit his head. “Tomi!” Bill said laughing, Tom couldn’t tell if he was laugh at him or himself.

“Georg, can you help me get this one upstairs?…Georg?” but there was no answer, Georg was passed out just like Gustav. “I guess I can be nice and let them sleep it off here.”

“sshhhh!” said Bill, still giggling. “They are sleeping!”

Tom carried Bill up to his bedroom. Bill giggled at random things, whether it be the pictures on the wall or the light on the ceiling Bill found funny and Tom did a little to.  Placing him on gently on the bed. “Now you sleep it off.” said Tom smiling down at his still giggling brother.

“Tomi…where are you going?” said Bill.

“To bed, I have to get up in the mourning and take care of a bunch of idiots.” said Tom laughing.

“Stay with me.” said Bill in a completely different tone. “Just till I fall asleep. Please.”

“Okay Billi sure.” said Tom climbing on the bed. “Are you sure okay? Are you going to throw up or something.”

“No, I’m okay I just don’t want to be alone.” says Bill. Tom crawled into the bed next to Bill. Bill curled up next to him. “Tomi?”

“Yes Billi.” whispers Tom.

“Are you still scared?” Tom has to think about his answer for a little bit but then realizes it’s no. He had already put his whole situation behind him and he just wanted to get on with his life. He actually was excited about getting back at there and performing again. “No, Billi I’m not.”

“What if I said that I still am.” says Billi.

Tom smiles down at him, he is pretty sure Bill is only saying that because he cares about him and is just being protective. “That’s okay Billi, but it will be okay. We’ll get through everything just as long as we are together.”

“Together for Eternity Tomi?”

Tom smiled at his brother, pulling him into a hug. “Eternity Billi.”
