TURN BACK THE TIME, BABE. BOOK 8. CHALLENGING THE DOORS OF TIME

ANOTHER FAILED ROMANCE

AMANDINE'S POV

At last what I feared had just happened. Prenter had been kicked out of Queen circle before his due time. I imagined the rampant blissfulness everywhere; the members of the band, Phoebe, Ratty, Miami, even Farrokh. It was clear I hated him as everyone else, but one thing was our philias and phobias and another one the right way to manage the history. Prenter's going out just meant destruction in my eyes and therefore a lot of added problems. The balance had been shaken once again. And Wish was the person to blame.

- Prenter is a disgusting human being and deserves to be in exile but it should have happened at the right time.

- Amandine, when will you learn that we've been remaking the history since such a long time? The changes have started well before this and trying to fight against it I think it's counterproductive. Sometimes you just have to let yourself go by the flow and Paul has started to dig his own grave. He has decided his own destiny.

- Don't forget if Elideth were not here as the element of change, a lot of things wouldn't have happened and the Irish's fall from grace happened because of Killer's assassination. She was his close friend. I think his only friend.

- Elideth as leader of this project took the only possible decision back then, finish that wild monster off when I couldn't. She did the right thing. And I will always be proud of her by that.

- Don't get defensive whenever I'm talking about Eli, Arlene. Of course she did what she should then but that brought such terrible consequences, at every level.

- What would have happened if Nina escaped with her bike that day? Tell me.

- Who knows? Wherever Killer was, the misfortune was guaranteed.

- One of the first ladders we gotta climb till finally can revealing the truth is Prenter. Freddie has realized at last what kind of leech his friend was. And we will keep on revealing things. Till he finds out the truth.

- I'm afraid of what he can do next. What if he decide to attack Freddie?

- His next natural step will be using all that information about Freddie and sell it to one of those disgusting papers to get money. The history will be the same.

- Sometimes I think the truth will never bring out to light. And that's so unfair with Freddie.

- For a while I didn't want to reveal anything. Eli and Freddie's love is bigger than anything around them. But everything got wild lately and I don't think it's such a great idea hiding the truth.

- It was never a good idea, Arlene.

We've been a week in London. I was worried about Wish and the hunting that the press had started with her. She got her own flat that she shared with Elideth long periods but Freddie dwelt upon the fact she should stay with us at Stafford Terrace. He felt he could protect her better this way but the truth is living together only confirmed the hypothesis about their romance. At the moment only served to fuel the fire and made the delights of the press.

Nevertheless I couldn't keep my eyes off Freddie. I was restless because there was no trace of Jim. It was as though he never had taken part in his life and I couldn't believe he had forgotten him. I couldn't tolerate that. Something special had sparked between them and should continue. And become stronger. Freddie must be happy with someone once and for all. Amandine Soler should do her job and not hesitate. 

- Are you going out tonight?

- I need something to cheer me up.

I got an idea. Freddie, come on. Wake up.
