OLIVIA WOULDN'T SAY she was angry, persay, as she sat around the big table in the Bulsara's lovely home. Yes, she wasn't angry or sad but rather disappointed. She knows she's disappointed that she didn't meet Jer, Bomi and Kashmira Bulsara alone as Freddie's ❨ very ❩ unsure girlfriend but like she has been doing these days, she kept quiet. She observed as Jer smiled sweetly at Mary Austin ❨ who Olivia knew all along was going to steal Freddie away from her, or should she say whisk away? ❩ and some type of jealousy bubbled in the pits of her stomach though she reminded herself over and over again that what they had wasn't real.
"Sorry, Kashmira? Would you mind directing me to the bathroom?" I'm about to cry. The dark haired teen nodded, immediately telling her where she'd find the bathroom and Olivia stood up, telling John to guard her purse as she didn't really need it. ❨ All this was natural beauty! ❩
"Oh I'll come too, I need to fix my hair." Mary sweetly smiled, already standing up.
Please no. "Wonderful!"
The walk to the bathroom was awkward, at least for Olivia. It's not like she hated Mary, God no, she could never bring herself to hate another woman, especially when it wasn't her fault. ❨ Freddie was to blame. ❩ Before they could enter the bathroom, Mary stopped the blonde girl, worry swimming in her eyes and was that guilt? But she had nothing to be guilty of, Freddie was the prat.
"Freddie told me." Mary said in a whisperlike tone although the rest of the people were not in earshot. "I swear I didn't know you were together when I mey Freddie."
"We weren't," Olivia smiled sadly. "What we had ━━ whatever we had, it was bound to end. I'm happy for you, really I am, Freddie's a nice guy."
Mary nodded, though she didn't look convinced but she said nothing and opened the door. She immediately went over to the mirror and Olivia walked over to the toilet. She didn't need to use the toilet, she just really needed to cry. She might have told Mary that she was happy for her ❨ she genuinely was ❩ but the fact that Freddie replaced her so quickly hurt her more than what she liked to admit. Olivia was a fool unfortunately.
"Are you done?"
"You can leave, I'll be out in a bit." I just really need to cry now.
"I KNOW WHAT Brian and Freddie will say but just so you know, I think it's bloody brilliant." It was the following day and the band sat in the siblings apartment. Roger slapped the piece of paper on the table, looking Freddie dead in the eye as if he knew the song was in fact about him and how he hurt Olivia. "And I think you need to sing it, heck it should be in the album."
"Thank you but you're being weird again."
"To love again huh?" Brian scanned the song. "It's not bad, it just needs ━━"
"What, a guy singing it? No Brian! This is my song, this is my pain, this ━━" Olivia sighed, shaking her head before she grabbed her guitar. "I'm sick and tired of you and Freddie telling me that I can't sing because I'm a girl. You weren't like this before Freddie walked into our lives and I won't allow him to change you Brian, so shut the fuck up, both of you," She growled at Freddie, who had open his mouth to say something. ❨ The first time she's spoken to him since the breakup. ❩ "You're gonna listen to my song and you're gonna fucking love it or so help me God."
Roger grinned, laughing a little and John gave her the thumbs up while her brother looked down, probably in shame for what she said was true. Olivia took a deep breath in, closing her eyes, fearful that tears might spring up into her eyes.
"Oh, she was a broken girl, lost in a world of love and lies. Three years of passion and now she's left alone to cry," Olivia doesn't remember when her love for music started, maybe it was when her mother would always dance with her and Brian in the kitchen, singing to her hearts content in a sweet angelic voice. The girl had always told Brian that their mother was an angel, and that's why God took her back. In her mind, he had never noticed his missing angel until she had turned 16 and that's when God took her away. Olivia likes to think that is the reason why she fell in love with music. "She thought she was a princess and that she found her prince, that they'd run away, the real life Hade and his sweet Persephone, but this was just a Greek tragedy."
John clapped, startling Freddie, who was listening intently to the song Olivia wrote because of him. ❨ If he hadn't hurt her that much, she wouldn't have written such a painful song. But he had to, he couldn't take it anymore. ❩
"That was beautiful." Roger repeated. "And it's going in the album, or I'm out the band."
"Yeah, me too."
"What?" Olivia shook her head. She didn't expect them to threaten her brother and Freddie. To be honest, Olivia didn't care if this song didn't make it on the album, all she wanted was to sing and while she did record Son and Daughter with her brother for the album, she wanted to be more on it. "That's really not necessary guys, if ━━"
"Oi, it ain't that mate. You didn't just say that entire speech and not fight for you song, that is bull." Roger shook his head. "I think you should sing both your songs."
"I ━━ Via, who hurt you this bad?"
"It's no one important Brian, I'm over it." She chuckled a bit, even though she knew that she wasn't over it at all but she wasn't going to admit that in front of Freddie.
"No, it is, this person hurt my little sister and I won't rest till I break every single bone in his body."
"Yeah I'll join you mate." Roger snorted, a grin on his face and Olivia raised a brow at him, confused with his change in personality. Roger has always teased the girl and now he was being nice? Did he finally grow up? "You're my friend, like I said, and I kinda am the only person allowed to bully you so we're gonna break this tossers bones."
"Say Freddie, you're unnaturally quiet tonight." John hummed, eyeing his friend, who looked at him.
"I'm just thinking. It's a good song."
"It really is isn't it? I guess I have to thank the guy who mutilated my heart cause that gave me inspiration to write this."
Freddie gulped. He needed to come clean to his bandmates.
