**2 years later** (1969)
I had exams that week. I was a ball of nerves and stress. I couldn't concentrate and I was sure I was going to fail my exams. I was so worried and had no pride in myself. Everytime I threw myself down I could count on Roger to pick me back up.

There was a huge storm outside and I was worried about Roger because he was probably on his way home from practice. Suddenly the door burst open and in came a soaken Roger looking very miserable. I pulled a towel off the radiator and wrapped it round him since I didn't want him to get sick. I closed the door and brought him into the kitchen and made him sit beside the fire. As I looked at him closely I realised he had been crying. "Roger, are you ok?" I asked worried. He shook his head. He suddenly put his head in his hands and sobbed. I was so shocked as I'd never seen him cry before. "It's finished Megan, my career, the band, it's all over!" He said between sobs. I held onto him rocking him back and forth comforting him as if he was my child. I felt so bad for him.

About 15 minutes later he went upstairs to sleep. I was very worried about him. He was so torn up about the band. I decided to leave him alone as I thought he might want some privacy. Big mistake.

About 2 hours later he still hadn't come down. I went up to him. He was lying in bed, looking peaceful. I started to shake him. He didn't move. I tried again. Nothing. I started to cry amd scream his name. Nothing. I took his covers off to see if he had taken anything. There were no signs of any medicines in our room. I checked the cupboard in the bathroom. Everything was the same. I knew what I had to do. This is what I was studying to do. This was my duty. I had to be a paramedic and save his life.

Title came from No One But you (Only The Good Die Young) by Roger Brian and John released after Freddies Death.
