bobby moore room (restaurant) -> 📍

"so your father is the roger taylor?" ben asks, picking at his french fries and burger. i sip my water before speaking. "yes, he is, for the third time." i laugh before taking one of his fries. "hey! those are mine." he swats my hand away when i go to take another. "whatever." i shrug, we had 15 minutes before we absolutely had to leave to get back to set on time.

ben picks up his phone, opening the camera and fixing his hair. "so you find yourself attractive?" i ask, something i was interested in because he was constantly winking at his 'reflection'. "not all the time, but sometimes i think i'm rather dashing." he puts his phone down and sips his carbonated water. "rather dashing? what are you my father?" i laugh, the waitress didn't want to interrupt our conversation so she carefully slipped the bill on the table and walked away.

ben followed me out of the restaurant, getting into his car parked next to mine. "see you at set." ben waves, i wave back and pull out of the parking lot.

wembley stage set - live aid -> 📍

as i pull in right next to my dad again, ben pulls in next to me. i can't get rid of him can i? not like it's a bad thing. i get out of my car, quickly trying to find my dad.

"hey, hey, hey slow down sonic," rami pulls me by the arm to slow down,"how was your date?" he asks, walking with me to the makeup booth. "it wasn't a date rami, he practically forced me to take him to lunch. that's all i did. no date," i clear my throat, "besides we just met. who goes on a date after they've just met?" rami pulls open the trailer door for me. "well, lucy and i do." he laughs a little before he gets sat down by the makeup artist.

i shake my head, "besides, does ben-" i'm cut off by the trailer door opening. in comes ben, then my father. i bite my lip and wait for my dad to notice me. "oh hi darling, what are you doing here in makeup?" he asks gently squeezing my shoulder. "i walked here with rami, i was technically looking for you." i touch his hand with mine.

i walked and talked with rami back to the stage where he had to be for his movement coach. "rami! hurry your buns up!" lucy calls, sitting on the piano stool with the movement coach. "good luck rami, i'll be watching." i give him a pat before i head the opposite direction to stand where the photographers would have been in live aid.

"boo!" i slightly jump, and turn quickly to see ben. "you creep! don't scare me." i give him a punch on the arm. "no can do princess, so-" i cut him off. "it's laura... continue." i make him proceed. "the cast is going out for dinner tonight, want to come?" he asks, i know hat in his head he is hoping and praying for me to say yes. "sure, where are we going?" i look back at rami who gives me a wink. "Uchello's." ah, it's a really fancy restaurant meaning, i'll have to wear a dress.

Laura Taylor's home -> 📍

i get home from set at 6, we planned to meet for dinner at 7. i quickly call my dad, "hey dad?" i hear some laughter in the background, "hi darling i was just about to call you." he says, the background noise slowly diminishes, and i can only hear him. "are you going to the cast dinner tonight?" i shuffle through my closet looking for a presentable dress. "oh no, i'm too old for that kind of thing, besides, isn't it just the cast?" he says, i pull down a dress off the hook. "i was invited, by ben." i unzip the dress and lay it ok my bed, ready for me to get into it. "oh so you're his date?" my dad is teasing me, i just know it. "no dad! it was just a friendly gesture." i say as if it were to be obvious. "alright, i have to go love, i'll call you later tonight and ask how dinner went." a car beeps through the phone, "talk to you later dad, love you." i hear my dad say a short i love you before ending the call.

i decide to put on a robe, then curl my hair, that way i don't ruin my hair taking off clothes. i pull out my curling iron to heat up on my bathroom counter. i start my makeup, which isn't much of anything, a little eyeshadow and mascara.

my dress is a wrap front midi dress in black. i can't go wrong with black, it's subtle but it will make a statement. my curling iron is finished heating up by the time i'm done with my make up. ( how do you write getting ready scenes, they're so boring ? )

after my hair and everything else is done, i finally get into my dress. it's one that i've had for a while, i planned to get rid of it, but i'm glad i kept it. i get out my favorite pair of heels. they were designed by my dad, in memory of freddie for me. he said that freddie would have done the same thing if he was still living. they're black with the same square studs as the arm band that he wore to live aid in 85'. they were special to me, they reminded me of the man that inspired me the most.

around 6:45 i leave. it's a 10 minute drive there, i figured i'd get there early. i had the radio on, and the sun was on its way down, it was a great time to be alone. Uchello's was a place that my dad and i only went to after special occasions or my birthday, it was rare.

i pull into the parking lot, seeing rami's dark green car parked off to the side. i find the next open park spot. my car beeps when i lock it, signaling it was successfully locked. rami sees me through a window standing next to lucy, he waves telling me to come in.

a bouncer opens the door for me, i thank him and move to the front desk where they greet me, "do you have a reservation?" the kiosk lady asks, her name tag reads danie. "i believe that the people i was meeting are here." i point to the back, where rami and lucy sat alone. "go ahead back there." she smiles and waves me back there.

i gladly walk to the table, praying i don't trip in these heels and make a fool out of myself. "hey, you look absolutely gorgeous." lucy stands up to hug me, as if she hasn't seen me in months. "hi, so do you!" i respond, complements are hard to take sometimes.

"ben and gwilym are driving together, joe is stuck in traffic." rami says as i take a spot next to lucy. "oh alright." i set down my small clutch and phone, spreading a napkin on my lap. "so you and ben huh?" lucy touches my arm. all i can do is groan.

Hey!
"pulled my trigger now he's dead "
