DECEMBER 18th 1988
~Becky's P.O.V~
"Bye, Becky. Love you," Jack said, kissing me (on the lips hehe). I smiled and waved as he walked down the steps.

He's so fucking perfect, I honestly love him. But, we've been getting into fights a lot lately over really stupid things, nothing serious, but one or two times he went to hit me. He didn't though, so it's all good. I know he won't which is why I always forgive him.

If I ever told Jim or Dad, they'd kill him. And I don't want that, because I love him and Dad likes him, which is surprising. Jim's really over protective so he doesn't have an opinion on him.

I also haven't spoken to Ben and Joe in a while. We're still friends, but Jack doesn't like them, so I haven't spoken to them for about a month or two.

"Becky, darling, come here." Dad said from the living room. I hopped in and sat down next to him, kissing his forehead.

"Yeah?" I asked. He patted the sofa and I sat next to him.

"Me and Jim have been thinking. How would you feel about going to Montreux for Christmas?" He asked. Is he fucking kidding?! Of course I don't wanna go Montreux for Christmas! It's my first Christmas with Jack, I want to spend time with him.

"Are you being serious?" I asked. He nodded and smiled.

"Not really, no." I said. He stopped smiling and looked disappointed.

"Well, too bad. We're going." He said. I flopped back on the sofa and groaned loudly.

"Rebecca Valentine Bulsara Hutton, we spent days thinking of a nice holiday for you and Jack to go on and-"

"Wait... did you say for me and Jack to go on..?"

"Yeah. Since you've found someone you like, we thought it'd be nice for us all to spend Christmas in Montreux."

"Okay, this changes everything. If Jack's coming I'd obviously love to! Thank you so much!" I laughed and wrapped my arms around Dad. He giggled and rubbed my back gently. I got up and wrapped my arms around Jim, I felt him smiling (if that makes sense) into my chest.

"Have you spoken to Jack?" I asked. Dad nodded, oh my god yes! I'm going to Montreux with Jack Prenter, my boyfriend, the love of my life.

"When are we leaving?" I asked.

"The day after tomorrow. The 20th." Dad said.

"Okay..." I laughed. "I'm going shopping tomorrow, then. With Jack." I said.

"Alright, darling. Go on off to bed then, you'll need the energy." I, once again, hugged everyone, then ran upstairs.

"You look happy," Phoebe laughed as he came out of his room.

"I'm going to Montreux with Jack!" I said smiling.

"Oh, I know." Phoebe responded. "I've known for ages. Don't forget about me, though!" He said. I laughed and hugged him.

"Obviously not, Pheebs. Night." I let go and went into my room, quickly changing into my pyjamas and hopping into bed.

I reached over my bedside table and grabbed the phone, dialling Jack's number.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Hiya, it's me. Dad just told me, do you wanna come shopping tomorrow?" I asked excitedly.

"Um... not really. Sorry." He said. My heart sank and I felt really sad.

"Oh... is everything okay?" I asked. He sniffed quietly and inhaled.

"No, Becky, I don't know what to do. My dads ill." He said.

"Oh, Jack. What's the matter with him?" I asked.

"He's got AIDS."

"Oh, god. Listen Jack, I'll always be here to talk if you need to, okay?" I said.

"Shut up, Becky. You'll never understand what it's like. Your family's perfect, you have a huge house, your rich, and your dad is Freddie fucking Mercury. Your life is fucking perfect. You're just a snob." He said. Um, what the fuck?!

"I'm sorry, Jack. I really don't know what to say, apart from sorry. I hope he's alright. I'll see you day after tomorrow, but I understand if you don't want to come."

"No, I'm sorry, Becky. I shouldn't have said that. And of course I'm still coming, I love you." He said. Thank God, I thought he was mad.

"It's okay, Jack. You're upset. Don't worry about it. I love you, too. See you later."

"Goodnight, Becky. I love you."

"I love you too, Jack."

A/N I just wanted to do this small update because I won't be updating for a while. I was at the beach the other day and I got really burnt all over and I had to go to hospital because they all blistered, yummy, I know lmao. I'm okay now, but next Wednesday I'm going to Greece on holiday. I'll post another chapter before I go, and maybe one or two while I'm there but I'm just letting you know I won't be as active. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed 🖤
