Don't You Hear My Call?

Another One Bites The Dust

Brian's POV

I walked out of our room and knocked on John's hotel room door. I knew he was in since Rog and I had gotten up early and we hadn't heard a thing from John. Hopefully Lacey wasn't up, that girl wasn't my cup of tea if you know what I mean.

John answered the door. I almost broke at the sight. John never cried, but the sight of him in tears made me want to ball right then and there. She must have done this to him.

Before either of us could speak, I wrapped him in a tight hug. Whenever Roger was sad like this, I would hold him really tight until he felt better. Roger and John had similar notions, so I hoped my instincts would work.

"Tell me what's wrong" I said. John sniffled and nodded. He let me inside and sat on the bed. I sat next to him. I heard the water running and assumed Lacey was in there. That would buy us some time together, hopefully.

"She's... she's awful." John's voice broke and he cried into my shoulder. I can't imagine the pain her going through right now.

"What did she do?" I asked seriously. If she was hurting him, someone needed to know. John is a very fragile person. He's just got himself mixed up in something really deep and heavy. He doesn't deserve this.

John didn't answer me, we had sniffling too much. He opened his mouth to speak, but just couldn't. It's worse than I imagined. He needs to speak though, before she walks in on him crying.

"Did she hurt you?" I asked. He nodded. Fuck.

"Physical, John, or emotional?" I asked again. "

"Well damn Bri, she's been fucking with my emotions for a while now." He spoke quietly. I nodded. "But last night", he started, "she made me have sex with her. I felt v-violated."

Oh no. My poor Deacy. No one has the right to do that. Not man, not woman. Certainly not to John. He's been through so much already. This just makes me hate her even more.
"John you need to tell her to go. I will if you don't." I said. John violently shone his head no.

"No no no. You can't Brian. I tried but she said that she's expose me and Freddie. She has everything, Bri. I can't let Freddie get hurt. That's why I have to marry her."

John's tear stained face made me lose a tear from my eye. "John, we're going to help you. I promise. Rog and I will do everything we can, we don't want you to keep getting hurt." John nodded. I grabbed him a box of tissues so he could clean up. I heard the shower turn off and so did John.

He looked almost scared. Which broke my heart. I'm the time that's she's been here she's already taken advantage of John and blackmailed him. And it's not like she's going anywhere. She'll never leave as long as she has the baby around. He's trapped.

Lacey opened the door, her body covered by a small towel and her hair done up in another one. "Hey Brian" she greeted me with a voice that was too fake. Sickly sweet, just like Richard's. It's funny how when we get rid of someone terrible from our lives, a new person walks right in.

"Hey" I faked a smile and John went into the bathroom quickly. She looked puzzled at me. "He needs to wash his face, he forgot to earlier." I said. That was a lie, but she didn't need to know.

"So Brian, how are you and Roger?" She let her hair out of the towel and the blonde locks splay on her shoulders and back. I'm guessing John told her about us, or maybe she choked it out of him. But I know she doesn't know about the baby. John would never spill that secret.

"Uhh", I didn't know what to say. "You guys are dating, right? John told me you about you two. You guys seem so adorable together!" She flashed me an innocent grin. "Thanks" I sighed.
