Tom chuckled with half mouth hung open.
„Yeah right, honey.“ Gordon nodded assuring.
That night Gordon could not keep his promise about going out with Simone like Tom did not keep his promise waking up early in the morning. Tom was done packing his clothes. They had their flight after three hours at 12:00 AM. It was 8:00 pm. Tom was lying on his bed dressed up. He texted his friends that he will not go to school next few days. He was going Germany to visit some unknown relatives. In half an hour they headed for the airport. And in more two hours and fifteen minutes, they were in the airplane. The more time went by the more hesitation and tension grew in Simone’s head. She could not even imagine how Tom would react when he will go Germany and meet them like Gordon planned this morning. Eventually the plane landed to Germany next afternoon. Tom and Simone were waiting out passing the exit with their bags. Gordon came out in a few minutes.
„Yeah, let’s go“ he walked to the parking lot.
„Where to?“ Tom walked after him with his mother’s and his own bags. Gordon has his suitcase in his hand.
Gordon looked back at his son.
„There he is,“ Gordon pointed at him. „Let’s go,“ he grinned and almost rushed to the man. „Careful dad, don’t slip,“ Tom warned smiling.
„Hey, Patrick,“ Gordon hugged the man. Patrick hugged him back.
Tom gasped in disbelief. „You’ve gotta be kidding me,“ he rolled his eyes and looked away. Patrick patted on Tom’s shoulder as they reached near them.
It was before the winter, cold breezes have already started blowing around. Tom rolled the window glass down. He peeked out resting his face on his hands, beautiful country side. The slight warm and cold varied wind whizzed on his face that made him close his eyes. He started breathing the comfortable air in and out. It’s really a first time for him in such a green area. He has lived almost his entire life in urban areas.
„So… “ Patrick looked up at the rear view mirror to talk to Tom. „You have the dreaded hair. You like it?“
Tom did not even hear him. He was lost with the wind. Simone elbowed him slightly. Tom jumped and hit his head on the window frame.
„Who gave you the idea to do it?“
„I myself chose this hairstyle for me,“ Tom said uninterestedly. What could be wrong with that obese man? Why was he asking so many irksome questions? Tom thought to himself. Simone was afraid when Tom gets furious and a rude word slips from his mouth. All of a sudden the car stopped harshly. Gordon almost jumped.
„What happened?“ Tom asked apathetically.
„My old car has some problems, you know. Sometimes it stops at the middle of the road. It’s really too old,“ Patrick said apologetically.
„Sure, this can be,“ Patrick got out of the car and so did others. „Wait here. I’ll be right back with the mechanic. The garage is in a walking distance,“ Patrick said running away. Tom rolled his eyes. He kicked on the tyre as soon as the large guy disappeared from the view.
„Don’t smile… I’m worried. He’s getting furious every second. What if he explodes there watching Jörg?“ Simone paced back and forth worriedly. Gordon shook his head.
After fifteen or twenty minutes, Patrick returned with a mechanic following after him. Gordon was still struggling to control the laughter. The mechanic came and repaired the car as he does it almost thrice a week with the same car.
Patrick stopped the car in front of an old house. But it looked good, quite good. Simone crossed her fingers. Gordon pulled a chit out of his pocket and got out for the car. He stood there and matched the address in the chit with the house. He nodded after a few seconds.
Simone nodded slightly. She was already sweating in anxiety. Tom did not notice. He silently waited for his father’s next move. Gordon walked up the porch and rang the doorbell. No one answered the door. Gordon pressed the bell once again; once more the same scene, no replies. Simone was squeezing her eyes shut and her fingers were crossed.
„Excuse me,“ all of a sudden someone called from the next house. Gordon looked at the old lady
„Uh… no… actually do Mr. Jörg Kaulitz and his son live here?“ Gordon asked, he sounded edgy. That old lady raised her eyebrows.
„I used to be their neighbor but they don’t live here anymore.“ She uttered coughing a bit.
„Where did they go? Can you give me their new address?“
„They didn’t tell me where they gone. They just said that they’re leaving the country.“ She shrugged with her fragile shoulders. „His son had some problems with people. That’s why one year ago they moved to another country or maybe town … who knows.“ She sighed. „But the boy was so polite… so polite…“ she kept mumbling to herself repeatedly and walked away without looking back anymore. Gordon did not know how to even react. They have come this far to see Jörg and him but they just moved from the town. He sighed forlornly. He walked back to the car. He bent down to Simone’s side, who was still closing her eyes. Tom waited for his dad to talk.
Gordon sighed. „Honey… they left the town and their neighbor doesn’t have their new address. She says they live in another country,“ he sounded upset and sorry both. Simone opened her eyes. Tears ran down her cheeks. She was both and happy and upset. Happy that Tom did not come to know anything and upset because she could not meet the person whom she thinks of most of times. Tom softly rubbed his hand on her back.
Tom was lying on his bed with his legs spread on both sides comfortably. He looked tired and expressionless. He rubbed his forehead. Meanwhile his mobile started vibrating and ringing. Tom looked up next to the lamp. He took the mobile. It was Rebecca calling. He sighed and received the call.
„Hey“ He greeted wearily.
„Hey, sweetie, you’re back and you didn’t tell me!“ She said worriedly though she sounded like a bitch.
„Oh… did you meet your relatives?“
„No. They moved to other country. Mom was upset. Her sad face is breaking my heart, baby“ he sighed painfully.
„Ohh… I’m so sorry. How’s your dad?“
„Hmm he’s fine, taking care of mom.“
That night Tom was turning his sides restlessly on the bed. He could not sleep. „This is it.“ He jumped out of the bed. He walked out to the corridor. He needed to have a walk. All of a sudden he heard his mother talking softly in her room. He narrowed his eyes. He stepped near and bent close to the door to listen to what they were saying.
„God knows where he might be,“ she sobbed.
„They don’t want us to meet them.“ She cried.

Ah, I'm so disappointed!:( I have been so curious and full of questions – How will the meeting end? What will be Tom's reaction? And then… Oh, no! They moved! Where? O.o
I've already suffered heart attack! 😀 And btw. I don't like Tom's girlfriend. I think that she's not only being bitchy. I can imagine that she's gonna make Bill some tough times.
