I had been friends with Freddie for about a year now, but it felt like we knew each other forever. He was so caring and loving, he had really become my best friend. Since a few months he was in this new band called Queen, together with Roger, who also was a good friend of mine, and two other guys named Brian and John. I had never met Brian and John until tonight. Freddie was celebrating his birthday with his band and me at this new pub, so I was getting ready. Freddie told me to not wear anything special, as he said we were just going to get a few drinks and have a good time.

"Anni, darling! You look gorgeous", he said before giving me a tight hug.
"Happy Birthday! You too", I said.
"Thank you, darling!"
Then I saw Roger getting out of the car. "Hi Anni", he said and gave me a short hug.
"Hi Rog how you doing?"
"Pretty good. Ready to get shitfaced drunk?", he laughed. Sounded like something he would say. I just laughed - I wasn't really the type of person to drink that much.
"Bri is meeting us at the pub, we're just gonna go pick up Deaky", Roger said as we were getting into the car. Roger, as he was driving, and Freddie were sitting in the front seat, I was sitting in the backseat.
After about 15 minutes of driving I saw a pretty small guy with long dark blonde brown ish hair standing in front of one of the houses, and we pulled over. He wore a yellow top, light blue flared jeans and beige plateau shoes. Roger pulled down the window and yelled "Hi deaky, you're sitting in the backseat, only grown ups can sit in the front!"
The guy smiled and he honestly looked really cute. He opened the car door and sat down next to me.
"Happy Birthday Freddie! And hello...?", he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Anni" I said and smiled. His eyes looked really pretty.
"I'm John, or Deaky, whatever you want to call me", he said, and giggled.
Roger giggled too, mocking johns giggling.
"What?", he said. "Nothing", Roger said. Freddie and him started to laugh.
I just smiled awkwardly because I really didn't know what was going on.

It was 1 am, roger and Freddie were drunk and laughing about literally everything, and I just finished some deep conversation with Brian about if time was a social construct. Deaky was just sitting there quietly sipping on his beer.
"Okay John, tell me something about you", I said. He was looking tired.
"Uhh", he said, "there's not a lot to say about me."
I laughed.
"Deaky that's not true", Brian said before taking another sip of his beer.
"Well what else is there to say about me?", he said. He actually sounded kind of sad saying that.
"Well you're John Deacon, an amazing bass player, an amazing person", Brian said.
"What kind of personality trait is that? Amazing person?", he said.
"Deaky stop", Brian said laughing.
"I think you're probably an amazing person", I said, and John laughed and said "You barely know me."
"Yeah right Deaky, don't you think you should let Anni get to know you a little better?", Brian giggled.
John blushed, and I did too.
"Hey you sluts", Roger screamed. He stumbled and almost spilled his beer on deaky.
"You wanna guys wanna go somewhere else?", Freddie asked.
"Where?"
"Deaky you bloody idiot do you expect us to know that?"
Roger laughed.
"I wouldn't mind getting some fresh air", I said, and Brian thought the same. So we left the pub and walked into the small park on the other side of the street.
"Oh my god you guys wanna climb a tree?", Roger said excited.
Deaky giggled.
"Anni you should know that Roger actually did that when we were all drunk together for the first time, and he broke his arm", Brian told me, and I giggled too.
Roger ran to the next tree and tried to get up. "Brian you're the tallest, come help me!" Brian came to help Roger get up.
Freddie, Deaky and I watched both of them climb up the tree.
"Freddie, Deaky, Anni, come up here! The view is amazing", Brian yelled.
Freddie immediately ran to get up there too. "Deaky, Anni!", he screamed while he tried to climb up the tree, "come on!"
John giggled.
"I'm not gonna do that, I wasn't planning on breaking my neck tonight!", I laughed.
"Come on Anni, I'll help you", John said.
"No way", I said, still laughing at Freddie almost falling off the tree.
"Please!", he laughed. He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the tree.
I giggled and went with him.
"You go first", he said.
"Oh I wonder why", Freddie said and couldn't stop laughing.
"Freddie shut your mouth", John giggled.
I loved the way he giggled, it was just incredibly cute.
I tried to get up the tree and i was almost up there, when my foot slipped. I screamed, fell, and John - sort of - caught me. His arms were sort of around my waist and if he wouldn't have caught me like that, I would have fallen to the ground and probably hit my head.
"Oh my god", I said, before Roger started to laugh so hard that he almost fell off too. John let go of me and couldn't stop laughing. We were all laughing so hard that I was almost about to piss myself, because I had drunken quite a few beers.
