Chapter 6

Brian's P.O.V.

Last night was the best sex I've ever had. I knew it would be. My Freddie is hot as hell. We're just entering the studio right now and we're face with this.... "Well, its about fucking time." Roger shouted from across the room like he's lost his mind. Oh piss off Roger, like you've never been late before. "Not this fucking late its almost one in the afternoon." Roger is acting like a real fucking jerk right now and I'm about to punch him in his face. What the hell is wrong with you Roger? I asked him. "Nothing mate, Fuck you." As I'm approaching Roger with my fists clenched, Freddie comes between us. "Roger!!!!!, break room Now!!!"Freddie is ushering Roger into the break room and I'm going in with them. Let me come in there with you two we need to sort this shit out right now, I said! I was angry especially after having such a great time last night. He's ruined my damn mood! "Awe, come on guys this is fucking ridiculous." "Do we really need this shit right now." John chimed in frustrated trying to diffuse the situation. "John darling, we'll be right out ok?" "We need to get this settle before things get worse." Freddie is trying to be the voice of reason and handle the situation properly. I on the other hand want to get to the bottom of what the fuck is wrong with Roger. Honestly, I don't see what John sees in him he has a horrible disposition. He can be a real prick at times.

Roger's P.O.V.

"Roger, what the hell is your problem?" Freddie looks very angry right now to the point of tears. I'm tired of playing second fiddle to you and Brian. You guys always act superior over John and me and frankly I'm fucking tired of it. My face is red now and it should be. This discussion should have happen along time ago and I blame myself for letting it get to this point. I look at Freddie, I thought we were a team and I feel like I'm wasting my time even being here, I exclaimed. Every time I try to a submit a song to be recorded it gets knocked down. Between you and Brian, you guys act like your songs and everything else are the only things that matter around here and "I've had it up to here!. They both are looking at me like I'm crazy and perhaps I am, fuck'em!" Freddie says, "Are you still mad because I gave you shit over that song "Im in love with my car Rog? Freddie is starting to really piss me off. No Freddie, I'm over that seeing as though I had to twist your fucking arm for it to be included on the album! "Who the fuck do you think you are Roger Taylor?" "How dare you speak to me in such an ungrateful manner" "That song was fucking bullshit and you know it.""Now let's turn this conversation around to a more respectful one, Ok?" "I'm willing to listen to anything you have to say Roger, but please do it in a tactful manner." Freddie has never cursed at me like that before and I'm actually quite shocked. I'll tone down my attitude and state my grievances accordingly. Ok Freddie, I'm sorry, I was extremely out of line but I felt I had good reason to be. An example being all other songs since the aforementioned B side song that I've submitted have been rejected by you and Brian. Moreover, Brian over there is always criticizing every damn thing I do around here and I'm just fed up with all of it! Brian begins to speak, "Listen Roger, your behavior lately has been erratic and questionable and honestly I'm concerned." Don't concern yourself Brian, I'm doing just fine. "Well your performance speaks otherwise." I'm about to blow my top again but I'm going to remain calm for Freddie's sake. Freddie looks at me, "Listen dear, no one is trying to run your life." "We're just concerned that's all and we're worried that you may be going down the same path that I was on and believe me its a dangerous path to be on." I just glare at the both of them and won't respond to that statement. Ok well maybe if I had more input around here my enthusiasm towards this band might change. Because right now I'm seriously questioning if I even want to stay apart of Queen right now. I'm just being honest guys. Freddie has his head down right now and is on the verge of tears, "Nonsense!, you are not going anywhere do you hear me Roger Taylor?" plus your still under contract, but that's not the point." You are very important and you do matter to Queen and I'm very sorry if you felt slighted and pushed a side." We will have more regular band meetings in the future to discuss any gripes or grievances that any of us has." "I'm making it a priority starting today," he says. Brian puts his hand on my shoulder but I shrug him off. "Rog, don't be that way, I'm sorry if you feel I've mistreated you." "We are a family Rog. and sometimes family's fight." "No reason for you to quit on us, we need you and you need us whether you believe that or not, its the truth." Freddie goes out into the studio and brings John in here. "Hey John,  John darling... we're having an important meeting right now come in here we need you."John comes in to join us. "Are you guys done arguing or am I going to have to leave for the day?" "I have enough problems of my own to deal with." he says. John seems aggravated right now I don't blame him. Freddie grabs his hand, "John, we're sorry if things got so out of hand dear." "That's why we're in here now to clear the air and discuss any and all concerns that we may have."John looks at Freddie, "I'm fine with the band, you already know the issues I have going on right now Freddie." "I know darling and we will deal with that accordingly ok?, right now its band talk." Brian begins to speak, "Right, well we all need to make more of an effort to consider each other's feelings." That's the first thing he said that made sense all day." Freddie looks at Brian," I agree Brian, we need to be more sensitive towards each other." "We've come to far to turn back now." Freddie is trying to save face right now, and its about time. Look guys, I just want more creative input, that's all I'm asking. "Fine darling, that won't be a problem anymore." Freddie must have gotten laid last night. He never concedes this quickly. He then goes on to say, "That's what Queen is all about crossing genres." "We have no boundaries to our music." Ok Freddie we'll see action speaks louder than words, I said. Because I know how he is, he says one thing than does another. "Oh Roger, if I said we're going to make some positive changes just go with it alright,"he sounded exasperated at this point. Ok fine, I'm willing to hang in there as long as I'm being treated fairly. Are we done here? I asked him."I certainly hope so dear, we've wasted enough time already.""Ok people, now that's over unless anyone else has any concerns, let's lay these tracks down so this album can come out on time." Finally, let's do this, its almost 3 in the afternoon, I said. "Well this had to be dealt with Roger at your request so plan on being here for the rest of the night." Fine Freddie, I have no plans lets finish this already. Fuck, oh well there goes my plans for the night, but I wasn't going to let him know that.
