The New Boys In Town (Book Two)

We're Leaving

I waited outside Queen's home as I smoked my cigar.

A car pulled up in their drive-way, Freddie smiled brightly walking out.

"Ah, Lily!" He kissed my lips.

"It's a surprise seeing you here" Freddie chirped.

I bit my lip, not saying a thing.

His smile disappeared, "What's going on, darling?" He softly asked.

My eyes became glassy, "Are you really moving?" My voice wobbled.

Freddie sighed, "Where did you hear that f-"

"Just tell me, Freddie. Yes or no" I said firmly.

Freddie sighed again, "Yes..." He softly said, looking at the ground.

I threw my cigarette on the sidewalk, stomping on it as tears fell.

"How long did you know this?" I raised my voice.

"Two months.." Freddie guiltily said.

My eyes widened, "Two months?!" I threw my arms in the air, "When were you planning on telling me? When are you all even fucking leaving?!" I yelled.

Brian, John and Roger rushed outside.

"What's going on?" Brian said with concern.

I turned to him.

"Freddie, what's going on?" Brian said as he saw my tears.

"I told her we're moving.." Freddie softly said.

The boys gasped, "I thought you told her already!" Roger yelled.

I breathed heavily, "Answer my question, Fred!" I shouted.

Freddie looked up at me, "We're leaving tomorrow.."

My heart was torn, "Tomorrow?" I whispered.

Freddie nodded.

I sat down on the ground as I started to cry.

"When the hell were you planning on telling me this?!" I sobbed.

Freddie knelt down, "I wasn't going to tell you, darling.." He gently said.

I looked at him, hurt, "The hell, Mercury!? Did you think it wouldn't hurt me to see you all suddenly disappear without saying goodbye?!" I looked at them all as I broke down.

John, Brian and Roger knelt down and started hugging me.

I cried in their arms.

"I love you all so much.. I.. I don't want you to go, I don't want to be alone again" I sobbed.

Brian rubbed my back as he started crying, "Freddie, you should've told her sooner!" He cried.

"I hate seeing her hurt, Brian!" Freddie yelled back.

I snapped my head up, "You've hurt me enough" I spat at him.

Freddie suddenly looked hurt at my words.

I stood up from the ground, "I should go now.." I softly said as I rushed home.

No one said a thing as I left. 

They just stood there and watched me, just like how I'll be tomorrow.
