We headed back to the Queen suite, after losing Roxy. As soon as we went inside, Roger stormed off to his bedroom and slammed the door. I ran after him and knocked.

"Roger... Roger, please." I got no reply. I felt so guilty inside as I heard him crying to himself in his room.

"It's best just to leave him dear." Freddie came over and gave me a hug. I cried as I held Freddie, shutting my eyes, once again trying to rewind the time to the point where none of this happened. I sat by the table, now rid of every emotion. I sat there, staring into space, looking down on the floor. After a few minutes, I then breathed looked up and stared at the wall ahead.

"I'm going back." Freddie and John gasped after I said those three words.

"Are you crazy?" John exclaimed in a panicked tone. "You saw what happened out there, it could be you next!"

"I don't care." I said plainly.

"They know everything about you dear!" Freddie said with concern. "It's not going to be an easy ride. You could just...."

"I said I don't care!" I yelled and everyone jumped.

"I promised you I would get your stuff back and I'm not just going to back away from it now. This time I'm going to have to go through this alone. You've been brilliant, every single one of you. But you must now run, go, anywhere safe where no-one will find you. Keep each other safe. I've hurt you so much already, I don't want to lose anyone else."

I ran into my bedroom before anyone else could speak. I grabbed my backpack and put every useful weapon I could use and stuffed it in there. I tried to move quickly as the pain was resting heavily on my heart.

"Jen." I turned around to see Brian walking towards me, with a nervous expression on his face. "You can't do this, you're going to be in grave danger."

"Brian.... They took your Red Special. The one possession you love the most in the whole world. I promised I would get it back for you."

"It's ok. I'll get another one. It's not that important to me, it's just a guitar." He was trying to convince me, that what I was going to do was a bad idea, but I could tell by looking into his eyes, I could see the grief.

"You made it with your father. It's a once in a lifetime guitar." I grabbed his hand to get him to look straight at me. "You need it back. Everyone needs their stuff back."

I felt him tightening the grip as I felt his pulse. I felt our connection and I also felt the fear. "You could get killed, like Nigel and Roxy. I won't let you do this, just for me. I mean, for us, just don't go, please!"

I then put my other hand across his lips and looked at him. "I made you a promise. And I'm going to stick to it. Don't try to stop me, Brian. Because I won't let you."

As I dragged my hand away, I saw Brian grab it tight. A tear was streaming down his face as he stared down at the floor. "Then let me come with you. I could help."

I gave a huge sigh as moved the curls away from his tear stained eyes. I was surprised that Brian May was holding my hands so tightly, the same man that was trying to convince me not to go. The same man that was so understanding and heart-warming even when I told him everything about my life. The only man I ever trusted. Apart from Nigel of course.

"Brian, you've been amazing. But I don't want to put your life in danger anymore. Stay with the band, they need you."

Brian stared at me once again, his eyes glistening. "But what if you never come back? Will I ever see you again?"

As he stared back down at the floor, I put my hand on his cheek and wiped away a tear. "You can count on it."

As I winked at him, Brian pulled me close. Our lips met for a fleeting second. As I pulled away, my eyes opened slowly to see Brian smile back. I wrapped my arms around him as our lips met again for a longer, more passionate kiss.

I can't believe this is happening. Me of all people, kissing Brian May. I never thought he would feel the same way about me.

As he put his arms around my waist, I dragged my fingers through his long curls and then placed my hands on his shoulders. Eventually, we pulled away, he stared at me with those glowing hazel eyes. After a while locked in each other's eyes, I tiptoed to kiss him on the forehead and slowly headed towards the door. Just before I touched the doorknob, I stopped and turned round to see Brian stare at me with that beautiful smile of his. I was just about to burst into tears as I left the room and made my way out of the suite.
