You Stole My Heart

Part 10: I'm Looking For You

• 1973

Weeks later..

I woke up, i looked next to me and Roger was lying on his stomach reading a book in bed.

Roger looked to the left. "Good morning darling!" Roger laughed. I stretched, "Good morning sweetie!" I said in a sleepy voice.

Roger put his book on his bedside table and went to the toilet. I looked at the alarm clock with one eye, everything was still a bit blurry from waking up.

Roger came back and got dressed. "I have to practice today, next week we can show our song to the world." Roger said. "Do you already have a new manager?" I asked yawning. Roger put on his sweater. "Yes, his name is Frank Pletten or something. Freddie said it yesterday, we just haven't met him yet."

"You stay in bed a little longer, you look pretty tired." Roger said as he brushed his hair. I nodded, "I can go back to sleep in no time." I whispered with a chuckle. Roger smiled and checked his watch. "Sorry An, I have to go now. I'll be back in the afternoon." Roger said, he bent over and gave me a kiss.

Roger put the blanket over me and gave me another kiss on the forehead. "See you later honey, I love you." Roger said, he gave a hand kiss and walked back to the kitchen. "I love you more!" I said.

I turned over in bed to get some sleep. It was 7 in the morning. I didn't mind waking up before Roger got back.

I heard the door of Roger's car close and drive away. I miss him quite a bit when he's gone, nothing is better than my sweet little Roger, the man who is there for everyone.

Fifteen minutes later I fell asleep, hugging Roger's pillow.

I accidentally woke up at noon. I rubbed my head, I was a person who didn't like to wake up.

I got dressed and saw my belly getting bigger and bigger because of the pregnancy. Every day it started to hurt a bit more, our baby was already welcome to come.

I walked to our baby's room, the crib was already there, I have already made the bed. We already have a closet there, with a changing mat. I made a box that contained all the pacifiers. We had bought all kinds of bottles, I chose not to breastfeed.

And the room is already wallpapered. There is wallpaper of a white color with yellow flowers. Roger and I thought it was a fantastic color.

I had bought a special music box. I'll play that if our son couldn't get to sleep. It's a beautiful sound of a song.

               2 HOURS LATER

I was sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea in my hand. I listened to the ticking of the clock. Roger was gone for a long time. I waited and waited until a phone call appeared.

Antonia: With Antonia, who am I speaking to?

Freddie: Antonia, I have some bad news. Roger fell down the stairs, he was very drunk. He fell down 30 flights of stairs. He has broken his wrist and rib cage, he is now being taken to hospital.

I panicked, I let the tea fall from my hands.

Antonia: No, how could this happen where is he?

Freddie: Roger is lying here on the ground, puking everything. Roger has become very unwell, Mary and I will come and get you right now my dear!

I immediately put on my coat.  With the advice of the doctor, I shouldn't panic too quickly.

Later Freddie called at the door.  I opened the door and ran down the stairs. I sat in the car with Freddie and Mary, Brian and Deaky stayed behind with Roger. The ambulance had already been called in, they arrived in fifteen minutes.
