Chapter Ten

                                    

                                          
John's P.O.V 
...
Later through the afternoon, it was time for practice with Roger and Brian and now Freddie aswell. I decided to fix my hair up and grabbed my case where my bass sat inside. 
                          
Today so far, was a great day! 
                          
Well, Freddie and I did a amazing job on presenting our project today. And Freddie and I are now dating, and we're going out tomorrow night! It's going to be awesome! 
                          
It's hard to believe this is happening.
                          
But it is! 
                          
Anyway. I grabbed my jacket heading downstairs to wait for Brian to drive us to his house. Unlike Freddie, Roger, and I, Brian lives a little further away then us three. Which is confusing but I'm guessing it's just a situation between Bri and his family members. 
                          
Mom came up behind me said, "I saw you earlier today," I blushed said, " Okay..." Mom said, " I'm just saying that I'm happy for you," I turned around putting my bass guitar case down, asked, " Really?" 
                          
Mom said, " Yes! Straight or not, your my son and I love you no matter what! As long as your happy I am too, many people may not accept you both but I do and that's enough. And if someone try's to hurt you I won't hesitate beating them up! So just know that I accept you no matter what, okay?" I gave her a small smile said, " Okay. Thanks Mom," 
                          
I gave her a hug as she stroked my hair she said, " Have fun with your band okay?" I said, " Okay, bye Mom!" 
                          
She waved as I picked up my bass and walked outside to see Brian pull up. 
                          
I smiled and placed my bass in the trunk climbing in the backseat. Freddie waved I smiled leaning in giving him a kiss. He smiled Brian said, " Alright you two!" We laughed. 
                          
Brian can be such a mom sometimes. 
                          
He kind of is when it comes to us as a band. We're a family. Other than my mom, I can talk to Bri and Rog about anything. Oh, and Freddie of course. 
                          
Yet again, we just started dating today so it'll take me time to start opening up to him about things. But still. Over these past few weeks since he arrived, I've already been opening up to him. 
                          
Sooo- I don't see what's holding me back. I guess I can be shy at times too. 
                          
"So what song are we going to do first?" Roger asked as he sat behind his drum set and Brian sat in a chair with his Red Special in his lap. 
                          
Freddie sat on the floor with nothing but a microphone in his hands. 
                          
Brian said, " We can do Keep Yourself Alive," Freddie asked, " How am I supposed to sing it? I haven't seen it?" 
                          
I place my bass down and went to the table where all our songs were and grabbed the lyrics for Keep Yourself Alive and handed it too Freddie. 
                          
He said, " Oh. Thank you," I smiled said, " Your whalecome," He stared up at me smiled as I ruffled his hair and went back to my bass and started trying to come up with a riff. 
                          
Freddie stood up and started walking around quietly singing the lyrics until he said, " Alright, I got it! Let's get started," As he picked up a tambourine as we all stood up and started to play. 
                          
"I was told a million times of all the troubles in my way" 
                          
" Mind you grow a little wiser"
                          
"Little better everyday," 
--------------------------------------
                          
"All you people keep yourself alive!" 
                          
When we finished we all said, " Wow," 
                          
I said, " Tood you he can sing!" 
                          
Roger said, " Damn. He's really good too," 
                          
Freddie smiled said, " Thank you guys!" Brian said, " Welll, if we got to perform somewhere, want to do Keep Yourself Alive?" We all nodded in agreement and we all went in different parts of the room we were in to try and write a song out. 
                          
I sighed getting no lyrics but many bass riffs so instead of songwriting I just stayed with my bass. I decided to play a lot of riffs and followed the music that was playing in my head and transported the music from my head to my fingers which produced all the riffs and songs I'd come up with. 
                          
A few hours passed and Brian and Roger said, " Well, practice is over!" 
                          
Freddie jumped up closing his notebook and Roger disappeared the second he said that. I asked, " Where'd Roger go?" Brian said, " He's sleeping over here with me, so he just went to my room," I smirked and started dancing around him teasing him repeatedly as Brian said, " Stopp!" 
                          
I laughed said, " Now you know how it feels! So Haha in your face!" Brian laughed said, " Well! I should drive you two home since you didn't get your dirvers license I suppose?" 
                          
Freddie said, " I have my permit but not my license yet," I said, " I haven't got my permit yet," Brian said, " So that's a no, c'mon!" As we all headed outside after saying bye to Roger, who already was fast asleep. 
                          
I climbed in the back, Freddie following suite and Freddie started going on his phone while I leant against him gently as the car ride was silent just listening to the song Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis. 
                          
The perfect song. It totally reminded me of Freddie. It is true, I can't help falling in love with him. He's gorgeous head to toe, he's sweet, kind, charming and everything I could ask for and more. He's enough. More than enough. Let's say he means the world to me. Even if we weren't dating like we are now, he'd still mean the world to me. So yeah, I'm crazy in love with him. 
                          
When we got to our neighborhood, Freddie said, " I'll take it from here, thank you for the ride Brian!" I nodded and Brian said, " Anytime! If you need a ride again, just call me, see you tomorrow!" As we waved climbing out together. 
                          
I closed the car door waving as the red tail lights headed in the direction of Brian's neighborhood.  
                          
Freddie said, " Today was fun," As we walked to our houses. I held his hand swinging our linked hands back and forth said, " Yeah, everyday is a good day since your here," Freddie smiled blushing said, " Same to you," 
                          
I smiled as he placed an arm around me until we got to our front gates. 
                          
I gave him a quick kiss said, " See you tomorrow," 
                          
Freddie said, " As to you darling," 
                          
I smiled opening my gate walking inside heading up to my room going to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
