Drowse - First Season - Finished

Chapter 32 - Rainbow Theater / March 31, 1974

POV Roger

After the coronation of Helena as Miss London, the boys and I had another week of touring in England. We returned to London on Friday, the twenty-ninth of March. On Sunday we will perform at the Rainbow Theater. We sold the 3,500 tickets and Clare assured that Helena will attend the band's performance. My heart leapt with joy at the knowledge of it. I do not know how to explain it, but I really want to see Helena, after a month, since the fateful day Bri had been hospitalized.

POV Helena

There is my first week as Miss London is being quite hectic and exciting. In the morning I have gone to school with a security guard and a lady-in-waiting. That's right. It's a lady who keeps me company and goes with me to all the places that we are present, to see my behavior if I'm dating someone in the sly. It's been weird, but I'm used to it. I even gave autographs to many students at the University of London. I already have a zero km car, an Alfa Romeo, year 1974. I put my fusca to sell. I do not need two cars. I am ten thousand pounds in my checking account and I still have a trip to Hawaii. I will make this trip when I have free time on the agenda. In the afternoons they are marked for photographic session for magazines, newspapers. I have loved this new phase.

The week passed quickly and finally arrived March thirty-first, Sunday. Today is the closing of the Queen's tour at the Rainbow Theater. The show is set for nine at night. I arrived earlier with my companion. I went backstage to greet the boys.

"Dear Helena, our most beautiful Miss," Freddie said, smiling, giving me a tight hug. "I miss you, my dear. Congratulations again on the contest. You were gorgeous and I know you're going to rock in Miss England.

"Thank you, my dear friend," he said, smiling, and then John hugged me excitedly.

"Very proud of you, dear friend," John said, smiling.

"Thank you, you do not know how important your support is to me," she said excitedly.

"Congratulations, Helena, you were incredible," Bri said.

"Thank you Brian," he said simply.

"Congratulations, Helena, you deserved it. She worked hard for it, she really is the most beautiful of them all, "Roger said.

"Thank you, Roger," I said. "This is Clotilde, my lady-in-waiting."

"I did not know you now have a companion, dear Helena," smiled Freddie.

"All misses have a companion, so we keep an eye on what they do right and wrong," Clotilde said, smiling.

"I like you, Mrs. Clotilde. I see you're a very refined woman. I went to Design school and then I want to talk to you about some costumes that can be used in the presentation of the band.

While Freddie was talking to Clotilde Rog and Bri they exchanged glances with me. Then Clotilde and I went to the audience, to wait for the show.

At nine o'clock Clotilde and I watched Queen's presentation, alongside my friends. They played for two hours and just rattled. They were very successful.

At the end of the show, Freddie received the greeting from teenage brother Peter Townshend, from The Who. The boy said to Freddie:

"You're much better than my brother's band!"

Freddie was ecstatic and smiled, thanking him.

Then everyone went to the dressing room to congratulate the boys and I came back with Clotilde again.

I greeted Freddie and John effusively. At the time of greeting Brian and Roger I was more formal.

At that moment Freddie looked at them and realized that they made a sign for Freddie.

"Dear Clotilde, please see my beautiful costumes I wear in the band's performances," Freddie said, pulling Clotilde's arm and moving away from us.

At that moment Bri and Rog looked at each other and looked at me with tears in their eyes.

"We can not stand this situation anymore, Helena," Brian said. "In pretending we do not feel anything, or that we are nothing. I love you, Helena, and despite everything you've done, I forgive you, because I also made mistakes, we were wrong.

I could not believe what I was hearing. Bri approached me and hugged me tightly and wept together sobbing.

"Forgive Bri, for everything," he said, crying.

"I forgive you, Helena," Bri said, kissing my forehead. "I want you in my life, always, even as a friend.

I smiled at him.

"I love you too, Bri, a lot.

Roger comes closer to me, more crestfallen. I lift your face that is bathed in tears.

- After a long time, a year practically, I forgive you Helena, I can not live without you, in my way, I never hated you, I just had grief. I forgive you, but please forgive me too. Roger cried.

I hug Rog tightly and he reciprocates the hug. I kiss his forehead and he kisses my forehead.

"After all, we'll be with you, Helena," Bri said. "Rog and I love you very much and we'll talk about it if one day you decide between one and the other, Rog and I will stop being friends or fight and move away As we did last year, "Bri said.

"It's so good to hear this from you. The two are like brothers and I never want to ruin this beautiful friendship, a friendship so true. I do not want to be pivotal about it, because if it's for me to be, I'd rather walk away, "she said excitedly.

"Bri and I will not fight any more or we'll be hurt with each other, because of you, Helena. Stay calm - smiled Rog - Bri and I love you very much and we will wait one day to decide between us. But regardless of who you choose nothing will change, not anymore. And it will not change with you either.

I hug both strongly and we cry together. Then wipe away my tears.

"I promise that one day I will have the right answer and I will give it to you. Meanwhile, I will fight for my other dream: to be Miss England and you keep fighting for Queen. You will be the biggest band on the planet and it will not be long. I'm very proud of you. My Drummer Boy and my Guitar Hero.

Bri and Rog smiled and hugged me again. My heart was now at peace, because at last they forgave me and I forgave them. For now, I'll remain friends with them. It will be better this way ...
