Stayin' Alive

Immortality

Over the next week Maurice was reading up which I was writing a song. He wanted be able to perform by the end of the week but still wanted to take it easy. I sat in the lobby of the hotel with Barrys guitar.

"I didnt knoe you played" he said approaching, Andy not far behind

"Oh yeah, im writing a song at the minute" I replied

"Lets hear it" Barry insisted perching on the arm of my chair

So this is who i am

And this is all i know

And i must choose to live

For all that i give

The spark that lets the power grow

I hadnt got much but i had gotten something.

"Thats all ive got" I said "But im working on the rest"

"It sounds amazing and im not just saying that" Barry said as Andy just nodded in agreement

Then Robin came down informing us we had a very tired Maurice on our hands. Just on queue Maurice came stumbling in with bags under his eyes.

"Mo how much sleep have you been getting?" I asked standing up and walking over to my fiance

"Non" He replied "i have to admit ive been sneaking out every night"

We all froze. I knew there was something he wasnt telling us, i just didnt know what.

"Who is she Mo?" Robin asked coming over to stand next to me

"There isnt one. Ive just been going for walks" Maurice replied "With drug dealers" he
practically muttered the last bit to himself

We all gasped as he fixed his gaze on the floor.

"MAURICE ERNEST GIBB" Barry yelled
storming over past me and Robin

"Im sorry im sorry" Maurice apologised before Barry slapped him across the face

I just headed to our room. I slammed the door and cried. I couldnt deal with this. I thought i loved him, i thought i knew him. But clearly i didnt.

"Ros you okay?" Robin asked softly closing the door behind him

"I thought i knew Maurice. I didn't know he would ever do something this stupid" I sobbed as i felt the bed dip next to him

Robin wrapped me in a warm, safe embrace. I cried into his shoulder as i held tightly onto him.

"Im sure we can stop this" Robin said

"Its worse then him cheating on me, i woud prefer if he did cheat on me" I said

Andy then entered, probably escaping the fight happening downstairs. Andy joined the hug, holding me tight. Then Maurice entered but i couldnt face talking to him.

"Rosalind" He muttered before i stormed past him

"I just need some time alone" I said before heading for the stairs

When i got to the lobby i found Barry sat in tears. I went to hug him before leaving.

--------------------

When Maurices first concert arrived i still hadnt really spoken to him. I took Andys room while he shared with Maurice as i needed some time away from him. I sat backstage watching them, proud Maurice had improved enough to go out there. Then Barry went to talk into the mic after they performed Stayin Alive.

"We would like to bring on a guest star" Barry began

I thought he meant Andy so i turned to look at him but he had the same look of confusion on his face.
