John didn't want to be here.
He wanted to be anywhere but here.
His manager rung him and told him he had to do live aid, kind of as a last concert thing. At first he protested, but then decided he may as well, considering he had nothing better to do. Now he was stood in the bathroom that all the acts used, freshening up. He splashed his face with water and looked in the mirror. Suddenly, behind him the door opened and he spun around. Nick had walked in. Evidently he hadn't noticed John stood there.
"Nick?"
Nick jumped and looked up wide eyed. He looked a lot different since John last seen him. Now his hair was slightly longer and dyed black. He had dark make up caked around his eyes and he was dressed in a lot darker colours than John was used to seeing him in.
"John..." Nick sighed, smiling. "John you're here!" Nick ran and wrapped his arms around him, hugging John tight. "I'm missed you so much!"
John laughed, and twirled a piece of Nick's hair. "Black? You haven't had this since you were 17!"
"Yeah... A lot has changed since you left Nigel."
John laughed a little. He went to touch Nick's face, desperate to feel it again. He was ready to be back with Nick, he was sure of it. John had plenty of time to rethink. However, when he was close, Nick moved away suddenly.
"Nigel please don't..." He suddenly went more on edge. "I told you, a lot has changed."
"I understand Nick, what's her name?" John said with a weak smile, his heart sinking.
"John please don't..." Nick sighed, fiddling with his jacket sleeves.
"No you don't understand-"
"Hey, I promise you, I'm happy for you!"
"It's Simon."
John stared at Nick for a moment. "Simon? Our Simon? Charlie?"
"Yes..." Nick sighed. "We both got drunk... He came onto me and I let him. It went from there."
Before Nick could say anything else, John had him pinned against the wall. "You told me you loved me Nick!" John screamed, and Nick winced at the pain on his wrists where John had tight hold of him. "You said you were fucking waiting for me!"
"Yeah, I said I loved you. How many times did you say it to me? Ever? You told me not to waste my time!" Nick shouted, shaking a little. He had never been in a physical fight, especially not with John. John's temper often got the better of him and Nick had seen his friend do some people serious damage. John suddenly let go. Nick was right, John had never, ever told Nick that he loved him. Honestly, he thought he would have got the message, but clearly not. Clearly, John only knew what he missed when he couldn't have it.
"Nick you knew I loved you..."
"I knew what you loved. Did you ever love me John? Or was I just safe, in town and convenient? I did everything you asked me to, ever since we were kids then you leave me with no warning or goodbye. I cried for you John-" Nick said quickly, letting out a sob. "Leave me alone Nigel, I don't want you to come back and leave again.
With that, Nick walked out. John stood in the middle of the bathroom, shocked. This was the first time Nick had denied him.
John was sure he was going to get Nick back, whatever it took. He walked out the bathroom door and started to get ready for the show.
