Daughter Of A Queen

Dirty Little Secrets

Freddie P.O.V
     I am a terrible parent, after Rosalie left with Brian I couldn't stand my party anymore. Despite Paul's requests I left the house, I didn't know where to go, I was disgusted with myself. I slapped my daughter across the face, what kind of parent does that. I took a swig of the beer I had in my hand. Her face was still fresh in my mind, the same face that used to trust me, now broken. I sat on the curb my eyes were swimming with tears, before I knew it someone had sat next to me, "Fred?" I looked over to see John sitting next to me, "god what's wrong?" I wiped away my tears, "I'm a terrible father John," I stated, he scoffed, " you are not, what makes you say that?" "I am," I took another drink, "I hit her," I stated and John's eyebrows went up, "but you have hit her before Freddie," I shook my head, "no not like this," I took a shaky breath and wiped away a tear, "I hit her so hard her head snapped to the side, and her face, John she looked so hurt" tears began to form again, "where is she now?" He asked, I took another drink, "Brian has her, he took her after it happened," John took a deep breath, "do you need anything?" I shook my head, "no I want to be alone." John nodded, he put his hand on my shoulder, "it's going to be ok Fred," John patted my back and walked away leaving me there drowning in my thoughts. A little while later I heard footsteps coming towards me, "John I told you I want to be alone," I looked over my shoulder expecting to see the bass player but instead to my surprise saw Jim instead, "oh I'm terribly sorry, I thought you were someone else." Jim nodded, "May I sit?" He asked, "oh yes of course please do," Jim sat next to me and I quickly made sure that I wiped my tears away. "There's something I should tell you Freddie," I looked at Jim in confusion, what could he possibly want to tell me? "The reason why Rosalie was so upset is because one of your guests threw themselves on her, if I hadn't seen it something terrible would have happened," oh my god, I felt anger slowly rise in me becoming stronger and stronger, "wh-who was it?" I asked squeezing my knuckles so tight that they were white. "I don't know Fred, I didn't recognize him, but if I see him again I can tell you ." I was shaking, someone hurt my Rosalie, my Rosalie was in trouble and I wasnt there to save her. 'Where were you papa!? I kept calling for you but you never came! Why didn't you come!?' Rosalie's voice echoed through my mind and suddenly I understood why she had been so upset, she trusted me to always save her and I didn't keep that promise, she had cried out for me and I didn't come, brand new tears flooded down my cheeks, "oh god Jim what have I done," Jim put his arm over my shoulder and I broke down, "What am I going to do?" Jim rubbed my back soothingly, "calm down Freddie, it's going to be alright, you just need to explain yourself to Rosalie," I sobbed even harder, "she's never going to forgive me,"
"She will, it just might take some time, but she will come around, your her father Freddie and she will never stop loving you, just like you never stop loving her when she makes a mistake."  After a little while my tears slowly subsided, "I apologize, I've never cried in front of anyone but Mary and Rosalie," Jim looked at me, "There is no need to apologize Freddie, you look like you should cry more." Before I knew what was happening Jim's lips were pressed against mine, but I didn't push away like I did when Paul first kissed me, I can't explain it but that kiss just felt right, like he was the one I had been looking for. Slowly he pulled away, "you can always come crying to me," he said and my heart melted, "I-i thank you," Jim smiled, "would you like to go back to the house, you look like you could use some rest." I nodded I was exhausted, but there are still people there no doubt, Jim thought for a minute, "I can get them out," i nodded and we headed home.

Jim P.O.V
I had just gotten Freddie to finally sleep and the house was empty, every now and then I would find a straggler and I would wake them up and ask them to leave. What a night, I couldn't believe all that had happened, and what's more, I kissed the Freddie Mercury, I don't know what got into me, I just felt a connection so I went for it, oh dear what will Paul think, I can already tell he doesn't like me, and now he has every reason not to like me. There was a knock on the door, who in the hell would be knocking at 4:00 in the morning. Despite my grumbling I went to the door and opened it, I could not believe my eyes, the man who had harassed Rosalie was standing on the porch. Without thinking I slammed him on the wall of the porch. "Hey, hey, hey man calm down," the man said. "I told you that if you came back I would thump ya, and here you are what a treat." I lifted my fist getting ready to punch him when the man blurred out. "I was payed to do it! Trust me I didn't enjoy trying to hit on a 13 year old girl but it was my only option, I needed the money." I lowered my hand, "who payed you?" I asked, "I don't know his name," I lifted my fist again, "Wait!! Honest he didn't tell me his real name but he told me to call him Tricksy," Tricksy? What the hell kind of a name is that? "Why did you come back here?" I growled out, "He told me he would pay me 1500 pounds and he only payed 1000 of it he still owes me 500 pounds. So I came back to get the rest of my money." I glared at him, "what is your name?" He looked down, "tony" I lifted my fist again, "well tony give me one good reason why I shouldn't pound you to the ground." When Tony remained silent I scoffed, shoving him out off the porch I said, "don't bother coming back for the rest of your money because you aren't getting it," Tony ran off and I went inside. I practically ran to the telephone and dialed Brian's number, it rang a few times before a woman's voice answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Hello ma'am, is Brian May there?" The woman sounded confused, "Yes but he is sleeping and you should be too it's 4:00 in the morning," I smiled, "please wake him up and tell him it's important and you should probably wake up Rosalie as well," the phone was silent and for a moment I thought she had hung up but then Brian's tired voice came on the other line, "Hello?" He said tiredly, "Brian? This is Jim, is Rosalie with you," I heard Rosalie's voice through the phone, asking if it was her father, I sighed wishing I could say it was. "May I please talk to Rosalie for a moment?"
"Um yeah here" I waited for a moment before Rosalie's tired voice came on through the phone, "hello?" She asked, "Rosalie it's Jim, I have some news," I heard Rosalie yawn before saying, "what is it?" I took a breath, "the man who did this to you came back to the house, he said someone had payed him to do it, and that they hadn't payed the full amount so he came back for it," the other line was silent, "Rosalie I need you to listen very closely to me, he told me that the man who payed him didn't give his real name, he only gave a nickname, darling does the name Tricksy mean anything to you?" There was a tension on the phone line and I could feel it, "Tricksy?" She asked in an icy voice, "do you know who they are?" I asked her hoping the answer was yes, "Jim, Tricksy is my dads nickname for Paul." My eyes widened, "You're saying Paul payed that man to get on top of me?" She sounded livid, "oh my god," I said over the line. "I need to talk to my dad, please." I snapped into action, "Yes let me go wake him up" I put the phone down and rushed out of the room, to Freddie's room, I nudged him awake, "Freddie, Rosalie is on the phone asking for you," upon hearing Rosalie's name Freddie was up in an instant, he rushed to the phone and put it up to his ear, "Rosalie?" He asked, I could hear crying on the other side of the phone, "Sshh baby what's going on?" The sobs on the other end didn't subside, I picked up the phone in the other room so that I could hear what was going on, Rosalie was indeed a sobbing mess, "My love take deep breaths," Freddie was saying over the phone, Rosalie slowly matched Freddie's breath, "good girl, now tell me what's going on lovely," Rosalie was sniffling over the phone, "Papa, something happened last night, someone tried to do things to me," Freddie cut her off, "oh baby I know Jim told me what happened I am so sorry I wasn't there, I feel awful, I should have been there to help you-" Rosalie cut him off, "Papa the man who did it came to your house, Jim answered the door and the man said that he was payed to do it,"
"Did he say who payed him?" Freddie asked in between clenched teeth, Rosalie started crying again, "Papa he said that he went by the name Tricksy." The line was silent. "Papa think about it why else would he come to the house for the rest of the money," Rosalie said in between cries, I could feel Freddie's anger from the other room, "Betee listen to me, I need you to stay with Brian while I take care of this, and baby it's almost 5:00 do you think you can get some rest for me? By the time you wake up this mess will be over," Rosalie sniffled "Papa I don't think I can sleep," Freddie sighed, "ok my love I will be there soon," Freddie hung up the phone and I did the same. Freddie stormed past me and went up the stairs to Paul's room, I stepped out side and smoked a cigarette, waiting for Freddie to do what he needed to do.

Rosalie's P.O.V
I didn't get any sleep that night, I felt terrible for Anita and Brian I kept them up the rest of the night, it was the next morning when there was a knock on the door, I was on the couch with Anita so Brian answered the door, Freddie and Jim walked in. Freddie had a black eye, like father like daughter, I had a big bruise on my eye from where the man hit me and an even bigger one on my cheek from where Freddie slapped me, Freddie got one look at me and there were tears in his eyes, "Oh Betee I am so sorry," Jim Brian and Anita all left the room giving us privacy. Freddie sat in front of me he took his hands in mine. I touched his bruise, "What happened? Are you alright?" Freddie smiled, he kissed my hand, "What a lady you are, I'm fine my love, the real question is are you alright?" He touched my face lightly, I winced slightly and tears formed in Freddie's eyes, "I can't believe I wasn't there to save you, And your bruise, how could I have given that to you," I felt so bad, my dad was breaking down in front of me, I kneeled next to him, and wrapped my arms around him. "Where is Paul?" I asked hoping for a certain answer, "You will never have to see him again my love, I fired him, turns out not only did he do that to you but he was also stealing money." I put my head on Freddie's shoulder and he picked me up and sat down in the couch with me, I was breathing deeply as Freddie rubbed my back, "guess what?" He asked me, I didn't lift my head off of his chest, "what?" Freddie kissed my head, "Jim and I kissed," I looked up excited, "really?" I asked with a grin on my face, "did you like it?" Freddie smiled, "I think I really did Betee, it felt right." I was still smiling, "I approve," I said, and Freddie laughed, "you didn't get any sleep did you Darling?" I shook my head, Freddie frowned, "I didn't think so, do you want to try?" I shook my head, "I just want to sit here with you," I leaned against my his chest and we stayed that way for a long time, A while later the doorbell rang, being half asleep I didn't much care to see who it was, I think Freddie was asleep because he didn't even stir, the door opened and I heard a woman's voice that I recognized but I couldn't tell who it was, Brian was talking to her, "what are you doing here?" Brian asked, "John called me and told me what was going on, where is Rosalie?" The woman asked, I started to wake myself up a little bit, "she is in the living room with Freddie," I closed my eyes and squeezed Freddie with all my might, "Why is she with him, I don't want her any where near him," the woman snapped, I heard footsteps and they stopped right outside of the room, "oh god Brian look at her face how can she forgive him like that?" I was starting to get curious as to who was here, "because she got your kindness," I couldn't stand it, I opened my eyes and I couldn't believe who was standing in front of me, "Mom?"
