"Anni you need to calm down, darling", Freddie said, but I wasn't gonna do that.
"Calm down? What the fuck Freddie, I'm pregnant from a guy that I have known for like three weeks!"
"Anni you don't even know yet if you're pregnant", Freddie tried to comfort me.
"I didn't get my period and I thought it was because I was sick. I'm such a fucking idiot", i said and started to cry again.
Freddie put his arm around me.
"Darling please stop crying", he said.
"I haven't talked to John in more than two weeks, how the hell am I gonna tell him?", I said sobbing.
"Should I tell him?", Freddie asked.
"No you're not gonna do that! Please Freddie don't!"
"Alright darling, I won't."
"Did he say anything about me?"
"No, he didn't. Should I ask him?"
"Please.
"We're meeting up for the last time at Brian's house before going on tour. You wanna come with me and talk to him?"
"I don't know if I can do that", I said, wiping away my tears.
"Please Anni! You should talk to him yourself."
"Alright, I'll try.">>>
I was panicking. It was half past nine, I was standing in front of Brian's door. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door. A few moments later, someone opened the door - it was Ari. She was wearing a big shirt that looked like it was Brians.
"Oh hi Anni! What are you doing here?"
"Hi Ari! Uh well I..."
"Are you here to see Deaky? He already left earlier."
He already left. Of course.>>>
It was Saturday night. I woke up from my phone ringing and I answered it.
"Hello, it's Mrs. Strawberry here!"
"Oh, uh, hi!"
"So i know you're supposed to do this from eye to eye, but I'm really sick right now so I won't be coming to work the next three days, so I'll have to tell you this on the phone."
"Oh okay, I'm sorry that You're sick."
"Thank you dear. So how do I put this..."
I already knew what she was about to say.
"I'm sorry Anni, but you're fired."
"I'm wh-"
"I'm sorry dear. I found someone else who can work longer than you, and I can't afford another worker, so I have to fire the one who would work less. Sorry, dear."
"So you're just firing me over the phone right now?" I tried to remain calm.
"I'm sorry dear, I'm sick. This is the only possible way. I just wanted to tell you as quick as possible. Tomorrow is your last day."
I wouldn't be going to work tomorrow, I was sure about that.
"Okay. Goodbye, Mrs Strawberry."
"Goodb-"
I hung up.
I just lost my job.
I was pregnant and I lost my job.
John didn't wanna talk to me.
He was on tour with Freddie, Brian and Roger. And Ari and Pam were with them.
I fucked up.I just sat down on the kitchen floor. I couldn't even cry.
>>>
I woke up on the kitchen floor in the middle of the night. My back hurt, I had a migraine and I felt like a mess. A pregnant mess without a job.
I heard the phone ring in the living room. I got up and answered the call.
"Anni, darling! How are you!"
"I lost my job."
He didn't say a word.
"Darling I'm so sorry."
"Thank you freddie."
"What are you gonna do now?"
"Freddie I don't know."
I started to cry again.
"Darling Please. Stop crying", he said. Wow, what great advice.
"Anni are you still there?"
"Yeah."
"We just finished our show in Brighton. We could come and get you. You could come on tour with us. Only if you want, darling. Maybe it would distract you."
"When would you be here?"
"At seven. Did you sleep tonight?"
"Yeah, on the kitchen floor."
"Sounds comfortable."
"I'll be waiting in front of the door at seven, Freddie. Please hurry.">>>
I was panicking because I was gonna see john again. Was I gonna tell him that I was probably pregnant? I should probably get tested before telling him.
I took a look at my watch. It was 7:12.
I looked around, but didn't see any cars coming."Anni?"
I looked up.
It was John.[this part is really shitty I know ksjsjs]
