Calling All Boys (Queen)

Twisted Love Triangle.

Johns P.O.V.

The awkward atmosphere in the limo was thick and sickly, I could cut it with a knife if I really wanted too, but if I was to do that, regret, anger, and things I really didn't need to know would come oozing out and I would then be covered in the duties of keeping the peace and listening to each of their stories, stuck in the middle, wanting to take a side but being unable to do so as it would only cause an unnecessary amount more tension.

So I do what I'm good at, sit back, stay quiet, and let them get on with it.

That is, until one of them comes to me specifically for advice, which I will then give with careful delivery, but make sure I wouldn't be getting too involved.

I was fucking tired of all the fighting. If it wasn't Freddie and Brian at it, it was Roger and Freddie...or it was Brian and Roger.

I don't know how they manage so many arguments, I managed to stay civil with all three of them, I hadn't fought with any of them for months, yet they always found something petty to fight about.

Deep down, I knew the reality, I think I just chose to ignore it...the other three were stuck in some kind of twisted love triangle without even knowing it.

I can understand the tensions between Freddie and Brian, they were still only previously a loved up couple that had ended on really bad terms, now Brian was already married...it was understandable that those two would have their feuds...what I didn't understand was...why Roger was getting himself so heavily involved.

Again, deep down? I knew.

Rog argues with Brian because he was still pissed off at him for breaking Freddies heart without any reasons, the blonde wasn't going to rest until the guitarist gave him answers as to why he left Freddie so suddenly, of course, Brian liked to keep secrets and was yet to admit to anyone his reasons, which made him snappy when he was pushed.

I understood...Roger was and always has been protective of Freddie, but there was more too it than that.

Back when I was in a relationship with Roger, he had sort of admitted to me that he liked Freddie but never made it obvious.

Then we broke up...

It had been so clear since, Rogers like for Freddie wasn't just an innocent crush...he had become obsessed with the frontman.

And although I stay out of the drama, I still knew the catalyst for most of Freddie's and Rogers arguments was because Fred didn't feel the same about Rog, which made the blonde jealous and bitter, which made him pick fights.

Yet Freddie was innocent, just because he didn't feel the same way, he was the mean one.

Again, I didn't want to get involved, but I was a little put out, I know it was a long time ago now, but I couldn't help but think that, when me and Roger were together, did he really love me? Or was he just saying that to keep me happy? Was he actually fantasising that it was Freddie underneath him when we fucked, instead of me?

I was always battling for Rogers attention, and that caused me, at some point, to be a little brash towards Freddie for a while, because I thought he was stealing my boyfriend away from me, when actually, it was Roger.

It was always Roger.

This might seem a little harsh, but he needs to suck it up and forget about it, Fred couldn't make it anymore clear that he wasn't interested in the drummer, yet Roger continues to try and push his luck.

And he's going to end up a very lonely man if he carries on these habits.

I glanced at the both of them, sat at opposite ends of the limo to one another, Roger looking miserable as ever as he sulked, staring out of the window.
Freddie's eyes hidden behind dark aviator sunglasses, his lips were pressed together making his dimple visible, but I knew he was hurting.
