"Hi, I'm Brian May"

Christmas Shopping

Lucy POV- In the weeks leading up to Christmas, quite a lot happened. 1) Smile got rid of Tim and carried on gigging with Freddie, whom I've made quite good friends with being in the same classes, mostly. He knows a lot about fashion so I've planned a Christmas shopping trip with him. 2) I got a job in an old battered record shop. It's not ideal, but at least it's something. I'm in charge of what records we play in the shop and I'm on the till sometimess. There is another guy who works there who's 18 and his name's John. John Deacon. He's quiet, but really sweet. The manager is an alright guy. Not too mean. And 3) my dad turned up on myself and Brian's doorstep. Let's just say, he didn't look too pleased.

I hear loud knocking at the door. Brian is at the toilet I think. I get up, out of my comfortable seat and went to answer the door. To ultimate shock my Dad was standing there. He looked pretty mad.

"Uuuh, Hi Dad.. How are you?" I said nervously.

"WHERE IS THAT LITTLE SHIT?!! " My dad shouted, pushing past me. I knew he was talking about Brian. At that point, Brian appeared in the doorway behind me and said:

"What's going on? Are you oka- ". My dad pushed Brian into the wall. Brian let out a small squeak and I ran at my Dad, trying to push him off Brian.

"Get off him!" I exclaim. My Dad steps back and I run over to Brian, who looks like he's about to faint and I hugged him (but not too hard). I turn to my dad.

"Get the hell out" I say. He looks at Brian, who is now slightly green and says;

"I swear buddy, if you ever do this to her again, there will be nothing stopping me from breaking you in half. Understand?". Brian nodded. My dad turned and left, slamming the door behind him. My poor baby (Brian, not the real one) getting threatened by my dad. I took his hand and took him into the living room. We sat down and I put my arm around his neck, pulling him in for a hug. I felt my shoulder getting wet.

" Hey, what's wrong bri? I ask wiping his eyes with my thumb.

"I don't think your family likes me" he sniffled out . My heart sank when he said that.

"Brian of course they do! My mum said to me the other day that she thinks you're the best thing that's ever happened to me! I agree. My brother and sister both adore you and your hair! My dad is a complete dick, ignore him" I said.

"I love you Lucy" he said. I kissed him on the cheek.

Monday, 8th December 1969

Today's my first day at my new job. I arrived 10 minutes early and walked in. I went up to the front desk and rung the bell. I recognized him as the manager and guy who hired me for this job.

"Lucy? Hello! I'm David. Erm this is John Deacon" he said, pointing over at a boy of about 17 or 18. He looked up from sorting his records and smiled at me.

"Hi, I'm John Deacon" he said, reaching out his hand. I shook it.

"Hi John, I'm Lucy Watts" I say

"Are you Scottish?" He asked. I chuckled and nodded. As the day passed, I had spent more time with records than I had done my whole life. It was mid afternoon and I still had 2 whole hours of work left. :( . John opened the shop door and came in with two coffees . He handed me one.

"Thanks John!" I say. I take a sip. It tasted horrible! I must've made quite a face because John noticed.

"Are you okay? Is the coffee disgusting?" He asked

"It probably tastes fine, it's just that the baby clearly doesn't like it." I say

"Oh! You're pregnant? Congratulations!!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, thanks" I said.

2 hours later **

I got in from work and naturally, went into the kitchen. There was a note on the table. It read:

'gone shopping. Be back soon. Bri x'. ..... Thanks Brian... I slumped on the sofa and closed my eyes. I awoke to someone tapping my face. I slowly opened my eyes and Brian was stood there with Roger.

"Tired are we?" Brian asked. I sat up and nodded. Roger was standing, looking round the room next to Brian.

"Yes, sorting records all day is very tiring.." I say chuckling.... "So how was your day?".

"Well we got rid of Tim and put out an ad for a bass player. " Said Brian.

"What! You guys got rid of Tim?" I exclaimed. They nodded. I frowned.

"Why?!.... But, On the topic of Bass players, I might know someone who could play bass for you" I say.

"Oh, really? Who?" Roger says, clearly trying to get away from the topic of Tim... I continue on to tell him about John.

"Well, he sounds like an alright bloke, but he sounds a bit young don't e?" Brian says. I shrug.

"Well, maybe but he's been playing for four years, so he can't be that bad" I add. The lads think for a while and then Roger says:

"We'll give him an audition"... I smile and say I'll tell him.

Saturday, 13th December 1969

Today's the day I'm going shopping with Freddie. I met him in Ella's café and then we left to go shopping.

"So Fred, I need to buy something for my Mum, my little brother and his twin sister, Roger, Brian, this guy at my work who's 18 and plays bass ,and my friend Ella" I said.

"Well, lucky for you, I know lots about pleasing people ;) and I'm sure I can help here. So first, how old are your twin siblings?" He asked.

"Well, they're 11 just now and they'll be 12 next year" I say.

"Okay, what do they like?" Freddie replied. I thought a moment.

"Well my little sister is a fashion fanatic- I think you two would get on well! And my brother loves the Who." I chuckle.

" Oh I'd love to meet your sister, my dear! I bet she's a little drama Queen, is she?" He exclaimed.

"I'm sure she'd love to meet you! And yeah she is a bit of a drama queen!" I say. Over the next few hours, I bought all my gifts for people. For my Brother, I got him the newest Who record, Tommy. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have it already. I got the same for Roger. For my sister, I got her a Denim jacket and a black t-shirt with musical notes on it. For Brian I got a desk size telescope, a few records, a button down shirt and a yellow baby vest that said "My Daddy Rocks!" on it. I thought he'd appreciate that. For Ella I got her a scarf and a necklace. For John I found the perfect thing: A mug that says: "Warning! Grumpy Bass Player" on it. I made Freddie go away, so I could get his present. I had found him the most amazing black jacket, that I knew He'd love, So I went and purchased it. When I arrived back home, I put everything in the empty wardrobe in the spare room. I just hope everyone will like what I've got them...
