I sneaked into the back entrance of the pub, but no one really was there so it was easy. I walked through a long hallway, until suddenly Freddie came out of one of the doors.
"Anni, darling! You're here to see deaky am I right?" Freddie asked. I opened my mouth, but no words would come out. I felt the tears rising up in my eyes, and I just broke down crying. "Freddie I'm sorry I-", i said, uncontrollably sobbing, which was why I wasn't able to finish my sentence, in fact I could even talk at all. Freddie gave me a hug. "Anni please stop crying darling!", he said. "Is it because of what happened Wednesday night?" I just nodded, trying to wipe my tears away. Freddie hugged me even tighter. "He told me about why you left", he said.
"What did he say?" Finally, I said something. I felt like an absolute idiot.
"He just really wants to talk, darling", he said, still hugging me.
"Anni!"
I turned around and I saw John. I felt like I was gonna pass out. He looked so sad, and he looked exhausted, probably from the show. Freddie slightly pushed me in johns direction. "I'm just gonna go get myself a drink, darlings" he said, leaving the hallway, into some other room.
"John I'm so sorry" I said, about to cry again.
Before any one could even say anything, he just threw his arms around me, hugging me tighter than Freddie just did (Freddie's hugs were always really tight).
"No, I'm sorry Anni. I was being a bloody asshole" he said with a shaking voice. My hands slightly grabbed into his hair.
We probably stood there like that for about seven minutes, until someone walked into the hallway.
"Oh hi Anni!"
It was Brian.
John and I let go of each other, and i still felt like crying.
"What are you doing here?", Brian asked while getting a sandwich out of a plastic bag.
"Just wanted to talk to John" I said, I felt my voice shaking.
Brian took a bite of his sandwich.
"Is everything...?" He asked, making weird movements with his hands.
"...what?", I asked, confused about what he was trying to say.
"Is everything okay?? You know between you both."
I felt John staring at him. Brian stared back at him, raised an eyebrow, then put his sandwich back into the plastic bag.
"Well I guess I'm gonna go get a drink now", he said, awkwardly smiling, and leaving in the same room freddie went to a few minutes ago.
"Anni I'm really sorry okay? Nothing what happened was your fault, I had no reason to scream at you. Please forgive me", he said and I felt that he was about to cry.
"John of course I forgive you."
"I like you, Anni. I really do."
My heart stopped for a second.
John put his left hand on my waist and we were about to kiss, when a door opened and Freddie and Brian walked into the hallway.
"You guys ready?" Brian asked, taking the last few bites of his sandwich.
"Did you plan to go somewhere or why are you asking?" John asked.
"Freddie I thought you told him? Anyways we really just wanted to go find a nice place outside, maybe drink a few beers. But not roger though, he's definitely not getting any."
John looked at me, and I nodded. "Why not", he said.
He grabbed my hand, and I felt my heart beating in my chest.
"You ready to go, guys? Where the hell is roger again? He's been on the toilet for literally 10 bloody minutes."
"Has roger got a hemorrhoid or was that with the 10 bloody minutes unintended?", Freddie said and John really just couldn't stop giggling.
He was still holding my hand, and I was probably constantly blushing.
"I don't care, I'm going to get him now", Bri said, opening another door. "Rog?"
"Y...yeah?"
"What the hell are you taking so long? You've been in there forever now, we want to go!"
We heard nothing for a few seconds, then we heard a door open.
"Oh, uh, hi!"
Brian walked into the hallway again, looking at us in a confused way. Then roger walked out - and a brown haired girl walked out right behind him.
"Hi, I'm Pam", she said while fixing her hair.
I almost laughed and I felt deaky squeeze my hand trying not to start giggling.
"You wanna stay with us for a few more hours?", Roger asked her, and she decided to come with us.
"You guys can get going already, I'm just gonna go to the toilet", Deaky said, while squeezing my hand again. My heart was beating even faster. Oh lord.
"I'm waiting", I said.
Freddie giggled.
"Really guys? Just don't take too long", Brian said.
"Oh don't worry", roger said, "Deaky won't take too long."
I giggled, and John just rolled his eyes.
