Chapter 27

"... Heavy rotation?", Audrey asked with wonder as Mary giggled.

"Yeah!", Mary said, thrilled. "The radio station keeps playing Killer Queen again and again... and people were wondering if the heavy rotation of it would make somebody hate it", it was now Audrey's turn to laugh.

"That's amazing! Have you told Freddie?", she grinned while she played with the telephone cord, crossing her legs while watching the window that gave sight to the beautiful streets of San Francisco.

Time was flying by as now it was March 30, and the tour was coming to an end soon. Two months have already passed by, and these days, she was just hiding in the hotel room, as many ideas flooded her mind filled with songs and crazy melodies that she never thought she could have.

Mary seemed to be anxious to see Freddie, and every night, she would receive Audrey's call as she was always surrounded by either the band or Irene when she was not busy and bossing around. She pretty much ignored everybody else as there were some disgusting rumors floating around.

Courtesy of the lightning engineer Jo.

"Not yet, but I'm pretty sure he'll call me in an hour or two", said Mary while sighing. Audrey smiled as she recognised that she was in love. "Now tell me all about that witch that keeps doing shit to you - and no, I haven't told Freddie, don't worry,"

"I don't know why she hates me that much", said Audrey honestly as she now played with her hair. "When she heard George say that I would usually be around the band, she transformed into a gossiping and sarcastic bitch"

"From what I hear, that's jealousy", Mary said frankly as Audrey furrowed her brows. "I mean, they are quite a popular band now and they are famous, remember that people outside of your bubble are quite mean and have other intentions with these kind of things"

"Yeah, I know - it's just that it's quite difficult not to tell them, but I don't want to be THAT girl and tell them only for them to fire her, it's unfair - she does her job quite perfectly no matter how shitty her personality is"

"I understand Aud, and I won't tell the boys if you don't want me to... trust me", the last words were quite in a pleading way. Mary wanted to be a close friend to Audrey, even though Audrey was pretty much a reserved person that kept things mostly to herself or only tells Ben. The band was updated in many things about her life, but her inner thoughts were saved for Ben and sometimes Roger.

"I trust you", Audrey whispered after a few seconds.

"Thank you, Aud... it means a lot to me... and honestly, it hasn't been fun around here since neither of you are around! I feel like a weird bug or something like that", Mary said making Audrey laugh.

"Don't worry, we'll be back in a blink of an eye", she smiled while staring at the window again, hoping to be home soon, even though the journey had been amazing.

"UGH, GET OFF ME!"

"Idontwantto", Deaky was acting like a baby. He got drunk again after the show, and in all the after parties she had been into, this was the worst one.

First of all, John Deacon - an solid twenty four year aged grown man that was soon going to be a father - was clinging over her as he was making pouts and singing drunkenly. Second, Freddie was now only in his underwear as he made a drink competition with some roadies, clearly winning and he hasn't still called Mary. Third, Brian had a massive headache making himself out of the shitfest and going straight to the tour bus craving some privacy and sleep. Fourth of it all, to Audrey's dismay, Roger was nowhere in sight.

She needed help, but nobody was there to do so.

Audrey sighed as she held Deaky's body as if she was giving him a piggyback ride. "Let's go, you dumbass"
