Roger's P.O.V. 

I'm in John's room waiting for him to wake up. The doctor said he'll need a few more weeks to regain his strength back. So far he's been waking up sporadically for a few minutes at a time and then falls right back to sleep. I just hope he comes out of this with no problems, I really miss him. "Roger". Hey, yeah its me John, I'm here. How are you feeling? John is slowly waking up and surprisingly has a little smile on his face. I immediately hold his hand and lightly stroke his hair. "I feel like shit Rog." I know John, you've been hooked on all of these machines for a couple of weeks now. "The last thing I remember is Tom pointing a gun at me." "The rest is a blur." Awe John, its ok mate, you're safe now. John barely has his eyes open and is struggling to talk. I'm just so happy you're alive and well John. As I'm telling him this tears are streaming down my face. "Oh Rog. don't cry." I'm ok John, just tears of joy. You don't know how happy I am right now. When I heard those shots, I nearly died myself. I've never been so scared in my life and the thought of losing you breaks my heart every time. Now John is starting to tear up. I quickly grab some tissue out of the loo to wipe both our eyes with. Hey listen John, the good news is that they caught the son of a bitch who did this to you!! He's in prison right now where he belongs. "Oh they got him?" Yes John, he won't hurt you ever again. All you need to do is get better and come home to us ok? John nods his head and has a look of relief on his face, but still seems very weak right now. "Im still so tired Rog." Hey, its ok John get some more rest. I'm not going anywhere mate. The doctor says you're getting stronger everyday. You need all the rest you can get so you can heal properly. No need to worry about anything else cos I'm here for you ok? "I love you Rog.", is what he said before drifting back off to sleep. I love you too John, more than you know mate. I continue sitting by John's bed holding his hand and the nurse comes into administer his meds intravenously. Brian and Freddie have just walked in the room with flowers and cards. "How's our Deaky doing?" Freddie walks over to John and place a small kiss on his forehead. He was just up a few minutes ago. He's only said a few words so far. I also told him that Tom was caught and put behind bars. "That's good darling." "John can finally move on with his life, hopefully with you dear." I'm looking forward to it Freddie, I really am. As soon as he become stronger and healthier, I'm going to tell him how I feel. Incidentally, his family stopped by this morning. I just stepped out of the room and let them have their privacy. "Oh that's good, I have to call John's mum to ask her if she needs anything." "That poor woman has been through so much and I just have to do something special for her." She would love that Freddie. Knowing you, you'll probably buy up half the floral shop."That and one of my beautiful art pieces from Japan dear." "I'm going to make sure John's mum is well taken care of." Leave it to Freddie to be overly extravagant but John's mum deserves it and I'm glad he's going out of his way for all of us. I stand up and give Freddie a comforting hug and kiss on a cheek to show my appreciation. "Hey Rog, I also talk to John Ried and he suggested that the album release be put on hold or at least until John recovers." Brian doesn't seem to happy discussing matters concerning John Reid and I understand why. Well at least he has a fucking heart. That wanker has been bleeding us dry from day one. "Tell me about it." Brian was all to eager to agree with me when I said that. And that bloody Paul is no better. "Ok guys, this is not the appropriate place to discuss such issues, not here ok?" Freddie quickly glares at Brian and Brian puts his head down like they've been arguing all day about this. Brian and I both can't stand Paul and this attraction that Freddie has for him really pisses me off. He's been nothing but a fucking leech and I wish he would just disappear already. Maybe Brian can talk some sense into him before things goes to far. You know what Brian, Freddie is right we shouldn't talk about this here. John needs his rest and time to recover peacefully. Brian looks at me and nods his head in agreement. Freddie on the other hand looks extremely annoyed and looks like he's ready to kill Brian. "Bri. can I speak to you alone?" "Let's take a walk dear." Hey guys, no arguing ok, I spat them. "Oh don't you worry darling, I'll remain as civil as possible.
