"When you said your last goodbye, I died a little bit inside."
July 13th, 1985
"How have you and Roger been?" Being back in England and seeing Queen posters everywhere due to their undeniably noticable prescnce at the upcoming event, I was doing my best to avoid thinking about Freddie. By now I should be getting over it, and the only way to distract my mind was to direct my attention to a member of the band I hadn't fucked.
Jenny's grip loosned on my arm as Dominque returned from the clothing store carrying bags full of new dresses. My best friend returned her hands to her lap as I unlocked the car doors. "We're doing fine, Colt." She swerved her head to the side before lowering it and fiddiling with her fingers. "Things have just been.. hard with the distance. But we'll work it out."
It was clearly too painful for her to spit out the real reason for hr relationship troubles. It obiously had to do with Freddie and I's "split" but she didn't want to add on to my suspicions that I was in the way of her relationship. Roger and Jenny liked eachother, and the last thing I'd wanna do is ruin it for them.
"Hey." Dominque said as she got back in the car. She handed her dresses over to Jenny before she fastended her seat belt. "We'd better get going babe. Or else we'll be late."
"Try to shorten the shopping spree next time then." Jenny grumbled, pursing her lips to show her dissaproval. Oh boy. These two have never gotten along, but it's been worse lately. Not even under the most dire circumstances would these two have anything nice to say about eachother.
Dominque scoffed before turning to me. "Are you gonna let her talk to me like that?"
"Could you two just have five minutes where you don't fight?" I replied, hoping she'd drop it then, but that comment backfired on me pretty quickly.
"You always take her side." Dominque snapped before crossing her arms over her chest. "So this is what it'll be like our whole fucking marriage? I'll always come second to her?"
"Would you just shut up?!" Jenny suddenly shouted from the backseat. "Do you have any idea how much he's sacraficed for you? Your repuation?"
"Jenny!" I suddenly realised what she was reffering to, and that she'd had this speech prepared for my parents as well if I'd gotten into a fight with them. "Please don't do this. Please."
"What's she talking about Colt?" Domiqnue turned from Jenny to myself. "What does she mean Colt?"
"Let's just fucking drop it okay? It doesn't matter."

"Roger!" Jenny exlaimed, running into the arms of her boyfriend, who was relaxing my his drumset and formally chatting with his bandmates. "I've missed you."
"I've missed you too." He replied before kissing her. After they parted, Roger turned to Dominque and I. "Colt! How's it going man? Oh you must be Dominque! It's so nice to finally meet you! Colt talks endlessly about you."
"Oh." She giggled nervously.
"All good things. Don't worry." Brian added, stretching out his hand so she could shake it. "I'm Brian May, by the way."
"Oh I know who you guys are." She assured, finally beginning to reve up some exictment. "Colt speaks very highly of you all."
I waved to John who was in the corner talking with Jenny and Roger. The final member of Queen Jenny had to meet was the leader, the frontman, and the man I'd fucking cheated on her with.
Freddie.
He didn't seem to notice us yet despite all the conversation surronding my presence. Mary Austin was running over some last mintue details and preperations with him, so he was well distracted. For a short while, at least. And I was doing completly fine, until he looked my way.
