Ouch! Bill told Tom!
Tom just keeps getting deeper and deeper with his lying. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: I know right? Tom's not getting any Bill-loving any time soon, but he deserves the cold-shoulders he's receiving. Tom can't help himself, he lies to make his own life easier. Firstly he lied to Ria, then Bill and now Gordon. He lies so he can get the goods, eat the goods too and not get caught with the goods. But all lies come out in the end, as Ria said. Tom may as well start digging his own grave, because lying seems to be in his nature and that will never end well. < / 3 Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, it's such an encouragement! < 3 xxxxx

Thursdays have definitely become my most anticipated day of the week! So, I now realize why Tom did what he did. I still don't find his behavior excusable, but I know what it's like to love your mom that much. I understand that he really wants to please her, but if she loves him as much as he does her, he should be able to let her know just how much Bill actually means to him. Let's not forget about his asshole father though. It seems like Tom's got alot on his hands, I just hope he amends his mistakes in time and that Bill actually forgives him.
Can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: I'm really glad to hear you're looking forward to Thursday's now! ^.^ I will start to update earlier than Thursday's if I think the Chapter's are good enough to upload, but if not; updates will remain coming on the same day (a week is far too long to wait I think, I just set a day because if I didn't have a target to hit, it would be "soon" and that could mean either a few days or a few weeks? So I set myself a deadline and I find it's easier this way)! < 3 So I hope you're looking forward to that. Tom always wants to please his mom, she's the single most important person in his life and he'd do anything to see her smile, he never wants to disappoint her. She knows how much Bill means to Tom, Tom basically grew up with Bill. Through kindergarten and school, now college; Bill's always been apart of the Kaulitz' clan and both Simone and Jorg know this. Tom does have a lot on his hands, but sadly; it was all his doing. He caused the uproar and I honestly believe he deserves to suffer a little for that. He's made Bill suffer, so it's his turn now. I really don't condone cheating, so I'm really making Tom suffer a little for my own benefit ahah. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, it means a lot and it's such a boost in encouragement. < 3 xxxxx

One more thing. I actually do feel sorry for Tom because of his family life (their hard financial situation and an asshole for a father). But it seems that Tom should have had all the more reasons to hold onto one person (beside his mother) who really loved and cared about Tom, who made Tom happy, being with whom was for Tom "as natural as breathing" -- to hold onto Bill. How could Tom let Bill go? I cannot wrap my mind around that. But on the other hand, Tom is a coward who is afraid of anything and everything and that explains a lot. The boy needs some therapy. I hope Tom will realize before it's too late that he needs to get Bill back and will have enough courage to do just that.
Author's Response: Jesus, these double reviews are such a boost, you have no idea. It means a lot that you've got so much to say about something I've written, so thank you! < 3 Financial situations are a common in families, my family and I had a lot when I was growing up so I could relate and found it easier to write about it? The asshole of a father, I've got one of those too, so again, it found it easy to write about his role. Tom should've held onto Bill, but he chased after Ria. He chased her, so does that mean Ria was more important than Bill was? In Stay The Night, I did try to express that Bill found that if he and Tom weren't fucking around with each other, that their friendship would crumble, because that's what their friendship was based on in the end. I'm glad you were able to pick that point out, Tom IS a corward. But is that the reason why he did what he had done to Bill and Ria? Thank you so much for expressing your views with me, I love you < 3 xxxxx

I don't know what Tom should do. He seems to cower before his dad, and I hope he can stand up for himself. I think his mom wants to be on his side, but she's still unsure about his whole bisexuality. But she seems more uncomfortable than antagonistic or homophobic so she miiiight be able to move past it. But I'm not sure. And Bill is probably still really upset and thinks that avoiding the situation will help him. But it's so sad that they've each lost their best friends. They would probably be a great couple if Tom could man up (albeit, that won't be easy given his situation). Crossing my fingers! Good job!!!!!
Author's Response: Hiii. Tom, in some terms, is a coward. He thought he could do whatever he wanted and not get caught out, he never really considered the consequences for his actions and now he's paying the price. His father is an intimidating figure in his life, the only person who can keep him in line and he knows Tom's behaviour can be molded only by him. Yet his mother - she isn't so much as that type of figure. Tom could go out and murder, and she'd be still on his side. To her, Tom can do no wrong. To his father, Tom can do wrong, but he's the only one who can knock him back into line. Both Simone and Jorg take really important roles in this just as their relationship with Tom does, keep looking out for that. Bill is still upset and it's not so much that he's trying to avoid Tom, it's that he gave Tom a fair chance to explain himself and he literally got nothing from it. He didn't get closure or an explanation, he got nothing but a half-assed sorry, so he doesn't feel as though he should try anymore either. Thank you so much, thanks for reading and reviewing, its such a boost in encouragement for me! < 3 xxxxx

I guess Tom's reason for hiding his bisexuality and the real nature of his relationships with Bill has been Tom's family. His father is a total asshole and Tom is afraid of him and while Tom's mother is very loving she has been clearly disapproving of Bill. Tom wants to keep his mother happy and feels like he is in debt to his father. The price was to persuade them that Bill is just a friend. Am I right? Still this does not justify Tom's unintentional(?) cruelty to Bill.
I an concerned that Tom seems to be afraid of everything and everybody. How has he not have a nervous breakdown yet?
Bill seems to be moving on. I feel both happy and sad about it, as he is moving on without Tom. But of course it's Tom's fault and it seems that Tom did nothing, nothing at all to earn Bill's forgiveness.
Great chapter! I cannot wait for another one!
***
Sorry about your mom. I hope she'll be fine. I wish her a speedy recovery.
Author's Response: Hiii bae. Tom's father is an asshole, there's no denying that and his mother is lovely, but kind of a coward too? I can't tell you if Tom's behaviour and actions toward Bill are linked to his families disapproval of his preferences in partners, but I'm glad I've got you looking into this at a deeper angle. Tom is anxious of everything and everyone, because he knows he's done something really wrong and now he's to blame for everything. He knows his selfishness and his greed has came back around and slapped everybody in the face, and right now, he feels as though he's gotta walk on eggshells. Thank you so much for your well wishes for my mom, it means a lot to me! < 3 And thank you for reading and reviewing, it's such a boost in encouragement for me! xxxxx

Oh my god!! Chapter not long enough!!
Author's Response: Oh my God! I'm going to take that as a good response ^.^ it wasn't long enough? 5000+ words is quite long for me o: but I'll try to keep them at this length or possibly longer, it really depends on the happens within each certain Chapter. Like if there's a filler in there, it won't really exceed 6000 words, but if there's actually something going on in there, it could exceed that? It just depends, but I'm trying for yOU! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, it means a lot and it's such a huge boost in encouragement < 3 xxxxx

Wow Bill has claws lol. This chapter made me see that I favour Tom no matter the situation. He can do no wrong it seems.
Author's Response: Hiii. Kitty has claws > ^.^ < yes! Oh, you favour Tom? That's actually quite surprising to be honest. More or less everybody said they feel kinda sorry for him, but he deserves everything he's gotten for treating Bill and Ria the way he did? But wow, I'm glad I was able to change your mind about him so fast, that was actually my intention. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, it means a lot and it's such a huge boost in encouragement. < 3 xxxxx
Date: 06/05/14 07:49 pm Title: Chapter One
so yeah, jorg's an asshole. and damn, clearly bill is still angry.
Author's Response: Hiii. Jorg is an asshole and he's going to be making a lot more appearances over the course of this story, so I hope it's not too disappointing to be reading about more of his asshole-self. I'm not quite sure how I wanted Bill to sound in this Chapter, but I'm glad you've managed to pick something out of his response. I hope in the next Chapter you're able to make out some more of Bill's current emotions aside from anger too. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, it means a lot and it's such a boost in encouragement. < 3 xxxxx

Wow! I don't think I blinked once while reading this. This is sooooo good, please update soon!
Author's Response: Awe, I bet your eyes are stinging and feel sore then ;D;D Thank you so much, update is coming REAL soon ^.^ < 3 xxxxxx
Date: 06/03/14 10:18 pm Title: Prologue
I am still thinking about this chapter... I think Bill would have forgiven Tom if Tom had sincerely apologized (and hugged Bill) and told Bill that he would have left Ria for him. It seems that Bill wanted to forgive Tom. This is why he sought Tom out and tried to offer him an opportunity to explain himself. I do not understand Tom at all, as he did not even try to make things right and just threw away a 16-year long friendship. I hope we'll have an opportunity to understand what drove Tom's decision.
I feel a bit sorry for how Bill flipped out in public. I know he is broken, but I hope he does not regret his actions afterwards.
I am trying to imagine possible scenarios of what will happen next, mostly of how Bill will cope. I think this Bill is stronger that he thinks and is definitely stronger that this cowardly Tom. I think Bill will rebuild himself. One way I imagine it happen is Bill healing through writing songs and may be even becoming a singer of the college band and meeting there people who will become his friends. I think Bill has centered his life too much around Tom. I think that if Bill lets himself he can acquire new friends and social life.
I wonder how you are going to heal Bill, what will happen with Tom, what will happen in general. In short, this is a great chapter and a great story! Cannot wait for more!!!
Author's Response: YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH YOU MAKE ME SMILE ^.^ < 3 Bill would have forgiven Tom if he had sincerely apologized, hugged him and said he'd leave Ria for him, you're totally right, but that's just it. Tom would NOT have left Ria for Bill, he made that perfectly clear when he ran after Ria rather than staying behind to clean up the mess he's made of Bill. (All answers will be given in the upcoming chapters, you'll SEE exactly what drove Tom to this decision too, so I hope I don't fuck that up.) I think Bill was well within his right to react the way he did, afterall Tom had reduced him to that. Bill is stronger than he thinks, he showed that much when he went to Tom in this prologue, when he demanded answers, when he told the entire college population that he and Tom slept together, when he slapped Tom. But I think it's gonna be a little weird for him now since Tom won't be there. He's used to relying on Tom for every little thing, he's used to depending on Tom and not having that concrete structure anymore is certainly gonna rock some sort of foundations in his life. Chapter One is coming REALLY soon, thank you so much for reading and reviewing again, I love you < 3 xxxxx

Tom is a complete shit bag. He's a douche and a half. Bill should give himself a makeover (like his humanoid city look) and show Tom what he's missing out on.
Author's Response: Tom is a shit bag, a total shit bag, I agree with you. Bill does have a makeover actually, Bill's image in STAY THE NIGHT has entirely altered for KING OF WISHFUL THINKING as you can see by both banners for the stories? ^.^ He's gonna be so much hotter, Tom's gonna drool, okay, totally drool all over when he goes back for the new term < 3 thank you so much for reading and reviewing, it means a shit ton xxxxx

And I apologize for all the mistakes :D I was in a hurry to say everything I wanted and didn't read my text trough, so I hope you still get the meaning. And sorry for the long comment!
Author's Response: Never apologize ^.^ there were no mistakes that I realised and you defintiely don't have to explain yourself, I'm just so overwhelmed by your review right now, just wow - that was one of the most prettiest reviews I've ever gotten, I think! NEVER APOLOGIZE ABOUT THE LENGTH EITHER, THE LENGTH MADE ME GRIN LIKE A FOOL < 3 xxxxx
Date: 06/01/14 02:07 pm Title: Prologue
Oooh my god! When I saw this, I was first like what's this, then I checked the text on the summary that said "Sequel to Stay the night" and I was like "that sounds familiar" and then I realized what it was and I was soooo happy! 'Cause the Stay the night left me so heartbroken that I wanted to know more. And yeah, I guess Tom has some issues, maybe the issues have something to do with homosexuality or something with trust, but there's really no excuse for what he did. I mean. He lied to his best friend just to have sex with him and doesn't even give him a reason why. So I totally understand and approve Bills behavior. I think Bill was really fair when he came to Tom and gave him a fucking chance to explain, but then Tom just did't say anything so I totally get why Bill said all those things and shouted at him not caring who hears it. I would have done the same. I kinda (just kinda) feel bad for Tom, not like I understand what he did or like I'd approve of it, but just feel bad 'cause he clearly feels bad about it and just doesn't know hoe to handle it or speak about it. But in the end of this chapter I was like "Ooooh, hell no" 'cause Tom absolutely shouldn't be going after RIA. He should be going after BILL, fix the relationship he's had his whole life, not the relationship he's had like few months! Like, dude, wake up and see who's the more important one. But nooo, he's going after the pussy... I'll be waiting for more and dying to read what Tom's reasons are for always lying :D I really enjoy your writing and you have absolutely no reason of suspecting that the readers wouldn't love this, 'cause this is marvelous! :D Splendid! Just Fabulously devastating! :D
Author's Response: WOW, SHIT. THIS IS SOME PRETTY REVIEW, HOTDAMN *.* I'm really glad to read that you were happy to realise that this was the sequel to Stay The Night, it's such a boost in encouragement. No matter what Tom's reasons are for doing what he's doing, it will never excuse the way he treated both Bill and Ria. Yeah, I can admit that I enjoy torturing Ria (I'm not even sorry), but with how Tom hurt Bill, there's no excusing that, nope. Bill deserves much better and Tom knows that too, so if he wants another chance - he's gonna have to work his ass off for it! You're totally right, Bill came to him, give him the chance to explain himself and Tom really only dug himself his own grave by not responding. I'm happy to read your feel something other than hatred for Tom now, I honestly wanted to see how fast I could change people's minds about him, but I know I've gotta long road to go before anybody fully understands and accepts his reasonings. The last few lines of this when Tom spots Ria in the crowd was the first thing I had written for this entire sequel. I knew Ria would have to find out, but yet again; I really wanted Tom to throw away both chances of happiness he could've had in the matter of seconds too? So he loses out on being with Bill and being with Ria? I just thought that was the right direction to take this in, I hate cheats anyway - Tom's gonna pay. < 3 Thank you so much for your pretty review, your praise and for giving this a chance. I appreciate it so much, you have no idea ^.^ xxxxx

So... I definitely think this might have even surpassed "Stay The Night". There was so much emotion in this chapter that I felt as if I was experiencing them firsthand!
I feel so damn mad at Tom though! Honestly, I understand that he's torn over what he did and all but he crossed the line. I'm so looking forward to the rest of the chapters after this!
Author's Response: OMG, REALLY?! That's really amazing to read, you have NO idea! When I first started to write this sequel, I was constantly drowning under the pressure to make this better than Stay The Night and honestly; I never thought for one minute I could exceed that two-shot, (the praise and love for that was so great and mind blowing). You have every right to be mad at Tom, what he did was a real shitty thing. Thank you for reading and reviewing, I really appreciate it < 3 xxxxx
Date: 05/30/14 03:11 pm Title: Prologue
Oh Bill. I feel so heartbroken for him. Tom really did completely break him; he's been breaking slowly over time and now Tom really drive the last nail in Bill's coffin.
I liked reading Tim's perspective. He's clearly torn up but I'm so curious WHY he's behaving this way. I feel like he loves Bill but maybe doesn't think he can be with him? Maybe he just doesn't think he's good enough or I don't know. I think he cares about Ria, but I don't think he is in love with her. Something is holding him back from Bill. And it's hard to see everyone get so hurt.
I am in love with the start of this story just as the first one. I'm just hoping Bill will be able to pull through. I don't know what he's going to do now losing his best friend. You've done an amazing job with getting me attached to your characters already!
Author's Response: Hiii, Tom literally reduced Bill to this and I tried to portray his desperation for answers and an explanation, but Tom really wasn't giving in, was he? I'm glad I've caught your interest to find out why Tom reacted this way and the answers will come in the upcoming Chapters. Bill's a fighter, he'll pull through, but nothing's ever that simple though, right? ;D ;D Thank you for reading and reviewing, I really appreciate it < 3 xxxxx
Date: 05/30/14 01:09 pm Title: Prologue
I actually feel sorry for Tom. I mean, I feel even more sorry for Bill, of course, the poor guy is heartbroken, but I still feel for Tom.
I mean, you could see how difficult it was for him, and I know that he's an idiot for being like this, but I can also feel his pain and how hard this is for him. I don't think he ever wanted to hurt Bill, I believe him when he says it wasn't meant to be like this, and I feel sorry for the guy, because it's so darn easy to get trapped in your lies and games, it really is, when you start and get away with it, it's so easy to keep the lies coming.
So even though my heart is breaking for Bill, who by the way has all the right to scream and yell and be angry with Tom, and that slap was a well deserved one, I still feel bad for Tom.
Yeah I don't know what to say, but I love this and I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Hiii bae! I'm glad to read that you're torn about what to feel for Tom right now, that was my full intention afterall. I wanted everybody to hate Tom in Stay The Night for what he did to Bill, but since King Of Wishful Thinking is in his perspective, I kinda wanted to see how fast I could change your minds about him? To see if you all could feel some sort of guilt for him? < 3 Bill definitely was allowed to react the way he did, poor guy's heartbroken and nothing's worse than a heartbroken Bill :---( baby! I love you, thank you for reading and reviewing as always! xxxxx

Am I the only one who actually listened to the song while reading this?? Hahaha... Anyways this was fan-bloody-tastic! Tom deserves EVERYTHING he got and more :/ God I feel sorry for Bill AND Ria!
Great way to start the sequel
Author's Response: Hii bae, the song is amazing! You're the only one who said they listened to the song, so it probably is only you?!;D;D I can't really listen to music and read at the same time, it's too confusing for my small brain to handle! < 3 You think he deserves everything he's gotten? That's interesting, I've literally torn a lot of people's minds with this one. Some say they feel sorry for Tom, some say he deserves it for he's done - interESTING THOUGH! I love you, thank you for reading and reviewing as always! xxxxx
Date: 05/30/14 01:05 am Title: Prologue
I just reread the encounter between Tom and Bill. I have one theory. Tom needs to appear straight to be on his sport team (may be this is how he pays for college). His relationships with Bill were always too close and Tom needed a girlfriend to eliminate any suspicion of his bisexuality. And then he got caught and tangled in his lies. Something like that...
Anyway Tom needs to grow a pair of balls and learn to think about how his actions affect other people.
I hope Ria will break it up with Tom. She deserves better.
Author's Response: Hii, I love you < 3 That's an amazing theory, I think. It could very well be legitimate enough to clink in and fit with the ongoing story. It's certainly fits in with all of Tom's actions and behaviour in Stay The Night, and with some of the things I've written/hinted in the prologue of this sequel - it could very well be this theory? Wow, that sounds confusing, lolz. I'm not gonna tell you if or not you're accurate with this theory, but thank you for sharing your thoughts, they're always appreciated and wanted. ^.^ xxxxx

no, you idiot! you're supposed to go after bill! not that clown-haired ria!!!
so glad to see you're doing a sequel!

Date: 05/29/14 07:57 pm Title: Prologue
Yeah, sequel!!! "makes a happy dance."
Wow, this chapter was so emotionally intense! I felt probably as tense and burdened as Tom reading it. I was literally sitting on the edge of my chair. I almost (but only almost) felt sorry for Tom. But he does deserve to feel that bad! No matter the circumstances, he did not have a right to play with feelings of and lie to either Bill or Ria.
I felt really bad for both Bill and Ria, especially for Bill as he got the worst stick of the whole thing. I hope that Bill will emerge as a stronger person out of this situation. Poor guy, he deserves someone good. I hope he will learn to have a happy life without Tom in it.
Great chapter! Cannot wait for the next Thursday!
Author's Response: Hiii, I'm really glad that you thought this was intense. I'm also glad to read that you're torn right now, that was my full intention afterall. I wanted everybody to hate Tom in Stay The Night, but since King Of Wishful Thinking is in his perspective, I kinda wanted to see how fast I could change your minds about him? But you're so right, he didn't have the right to hurt Bill and Ria, it really was selfish. I can tell you that Bill will come back stronger. Update will be REALLY soon < 3 Thank you for reading and reviewing xxxxx
