Why would I forget ? | Roger Taylor

13- Twenty first pt 3

An- continuation from last part

The moment the words left my lips, I got the attention of the equally confused band members- the ones I hadn't just kissed. I locked eyes with Brian first, but then looked away before small drops of water slid from my eyes. My glance then caught John's, and within seconds I had to look at the floor. I wasn't gonna let myself cry in front of the boys on my birthday.

"Lottie ? Are you ok ? Did he hurt you ?" Brian run over to me to make sure I was alright. I was completely fine on the outside, but on the inside I wasn't doing too great. He pulled me into a tight hug and placed his hand carefully on the back of my head. After a short but peaceful moment he let me go, allowing the other to bombard with me questions.

"No I'm fine, honest." I shrugged and nodded. Brian wasn't convinced by my clear lie, and let John pull me into a hug of his own. Roger stood by the back door, blood on his knuckles and his hair a little scruffed up which I think was from me pulling it a little. None of the boys had yet questioned him about what had happened, they wanted to make sure I was alright.

"You ok Tee ?" John asked quietly. I once again nodded and plastered a small fake smile on my face. Freddie didn't say anything, he just lifted up my hands to check I didn't have any blood on my knuckles.

"Only a burn I'm afraid. I'm not the one that hit him." I gestured towards the blonde stood at the door as the rooms attention fell to him.

"Roger... what did you do ?" Freddie's tone was more serious than usual, slightly scaring Roger.

"He cheated on her." Freddie, Brian and John all gasped almost in perfect sync. They seemed to be more shocked that I had been.

"How would you even know Rog ?" Deaky questioned.

"I saw him with this girl together in a restaurant the other week. Kissing. A lot."

"And you waited till now to tell us ? And I'm guessing you waited till now to tell Tee ?" Brian asked. Roger's temper did not cope well when he was being bombarded with questions, especially when he was wanting a bag of frozen peas or something for his bruising knuckles.

"I don't wanna talk about it." He snapped.

"Look I'm probably gonna go. Thank you so much for the gifts all of you and inviting everyone round Brian." I smiled unreassuringly and turned on my heel, avoiding the concerned stares from the four of them. I didn't give any of them a chance to say a word, and simply left.

I didn't bother grabbing any of the gifts, I just walked out of the front door as quick as I could. After shutting it behind me, I paused and let the tears I was holding back roll down my cheeks.

I felt like shit, but not like I did with Jake. The first time I got cheated on I felt like I was broken, shattered to pieces. But this time, I didn't feel anything. It was like the pieces were never put back together, so how could they be broken again ? Noah never really made me whole again, but I was some what happy with him. We relied on one another now, that was the problem.
