POV Helena

After Bri's hospitalization at King's London Hospital for hepatitis treatment, Freddie, Rog, and John were looking for ideas for the band's next album, they were writing some songs, as early July they will be entering In studio for the recording of the third album. Until then, Bri will be recovered and will be able to record the album with them. They are very upset because they have to cancel the North American tour. They only completed half of the North American tour. Bri was afraid he could be replaced, but Rog, Freddie and John talked to him and said that he would never put another guitar player in Brian's place. And so it has to be really. They are more than band mates, they are friends, they are a second family.

The days went by and I continue under police escort because of the Miss England organization, because I am one of the candidates for the competition and I need protection. The police are still investigating who might have had me killed. It is certain that someone wanted to kill me and paid the two miscreants, who were killed mysteriously.

Despite my busy days, I was able to deliver the three paintings I painted in the gallery, worked on social projects and events with authorities, for the best performance of society, participated in photographic essays for magazines, bikinis, swimsuits and dresses, I continued the class of Oratory and parade, in preparation for Miss England, in addition to dance and swimming lessons, all under the supervision of Clotilde, my companion.

In college, I studied hard to get high grades, after all I'm in the final stretch of the course, finally. As for the painting of the boys, I had to stop painting for a while, but I will resume after the Miss England contest.

On the twenty-third of May, on the Thursday after college, I visited Bri in the hospital quickly, wishing him well and bid farewell to the boys, for I shall be traveling in the afternoon to Newcastle, for on Sunday evening Miss England will take place and the competitors will have to stay confined for the preliminaries of the competition on Friday and Saturday. I said goodbye to Bri, Freddie, Rog and John. I had already said goodbye to my friends in the morning.

"All the luck in the world, dear Helena. You will be chosen Miss England, "smiled Freddie. "We'll be rooting for you." I love you, my friend.

"Thank you, my friend." I smiled and hugged him. "Your support is important. Me too, my friend.

"Dear Helena, please bring the crown of Miss England to your family and friends," smiled John. - I love you too.

"I'll do my best, John. I'll do my best, "she said, hugging him. - I love you too, my friend.

Bri was lying on the bed, but he sat down a little. He was still pale and taking medicine in his vein.

"Bri, my guitar hero," he said, running his hand over his handsome face and curly black hair. "Please, I know the hospital food is horrible, but feed yourself, for your sake. I want you to get out of here soon. I am praying for you.

At this moment I kiss your face. Bri smiles and kisses my forehead.

- Thank you, my beautiful angel. I promise I'll feed myself. Good luck Sunday, everything will work out. I'll be here in the hospital, cheering for you. I love you, Helena, "Bri said, smiling.

- I love Bri. She said, kissing him on the forehead.

Rog stood beside Bri's bed, his hands in the pockets of his pants. He was looking at me intently, with his beautiful blue eyes. I smiled at him. Rog smiled back. How I love your smile. He came up to me and hugged me tightly and I hugged him back. Rog did not want to let go.

"Good luck my love," Rog said quietly in my ear. "I love you very much, my princess, my beautiful one. You are the most beautiful woman in the world. My heart is yours, always know it, even if I am not your chosen one. I love you very much my Lena, my Leninha, I love you more than my own life.
