"i'm gonna go now, rog." you say to roger as you grab your bag.

"where're you going?" roger asks looking up from the table. he hasn't be great lately, which is understandable. one of his best friends is dying of aids.

freddie was a big part in roger's life, obviously, he was the lead singer of queen. but he was also a big part in your life, he was the one who introduced you to roger about 7 years ago.

you're one of freddie's close friends and you were devastated to hear about him having aids.

"i'm just going to the shop. i won't be long." you tell him, gently placing a kiss on his forehead.

you didn't really like leaving roger alone now, but you had to shop for food and he didn't want to leave that much unless it was to go see freddie brian or deacy.

you walk down to the closest shop and you only get the things you need to be a little bit quicker.

when you get home, roger is rushing to get out of the house.

"what's wrong?" you ask him, terrified for the answer. you voice is shaky and quiet you weren't even sure that he heard you.

"it's, uh.." you can see that he's fighting the tears. "it's f-freddie."

when he says freddie's name he breaks down into your arms and he cries onto your shoulder.

"he's.." roger speaks up again. he's struggling to get the words out. "..gone."

"oh, my god." you cry.

after about an hour of crying you both go to see everyone else. they're all at freddie's house.

you walk in there and you get immediate goosebumps.

you give jim a big hug and you do the same with brian and deacy. you walk into the living room and you see mary sat on the couch.

she has a glass of coffee in her hand and she's just staring into space. her eyes are red and puffy and her cheeks are still stained with tears. she's shaking slightly and she doesn't even feel you sit next to her.

"oh, mary.." you rest a hand on her shoulder. she places her cup down and turns to her. "i'm so sorry." tears fall down your cheeks so easily once again.

she wraps her arms around you and hugs you tight like she won't ever let go.

"i can't believe it.." she sobs. "he can't be gone. i love him so much, he can't leave me."

"i'm sorry." you don't know what else to say, even though you all knew deep down this was going to happen it's still a shock.

the rest of the guys come in and roger sits next to you. he puts his arm around your shoulder and he hugs you while mary hugs jim.
