My Love, Brian May [The Last Chapter] {Completed}

Angel

My prayers were answered and we made it home safely. The 6 of us all hurried to the Garden House where Brian slept in bed. We all gathered in our room, waiting for him to wake up and talk to us.
I sat next to the bed with my hand in his, gently stroking it with my thumb. The room was silent. No one said a word. All our faces were covered in dried tears, Veronica had even come to wish Brian good words. Her and John sat side by side in the two chairs we brought from the guest bedroom or Roger's room.
I had called Mary, Ruth May, Jim Hutton, my mother, Reid, and even Dominque. They all agreed to come. It was only a matter of seconds before they would appear through the door.
In the meantime though, we continued to wait...wait for any signs of life from the guitarist. The doctor said he probably wouldn't wake up for a few hours, still though, we decided to wait.
Suddenly, the door opens to reveal Mrs. May, Mary, Dominique, and my mother. I hadn't seen Mary in years. Her hair was shorter but her face was still just as beautiful as 2 decades ago.
And Dominque...she immediately ran over to me and pulled me into a hug. "I'm so sorry, Izzy." She whispers, hugging me tighter and silently crying.
"Thank you for coming, Dom." I whisper back, breaking the hug and smiling sympathetically at her. She nods her head before going over and taking a seat next to Roger.
I look over at Mary who was surprisingly sitting next to Freddie. She flashes a small smile before waving at me. I smile back as the door opens to reveal Jim and John, our manager.
"Oh, Freddie." Jim whispers, going over and hugging his lover who had tears streaming down his face. He takes a seat on the other side of Freddie, exchanging smiles with Mary.
Reid goes over to me before pulling me into a hug as well. "He's the best guitarist and musician I've ever known. Thank you for bringing me here." He whispers, breaking the hug and smiling at me.
Now was my mother who was crying and nodding her head at me. "I love you, Izzy." She says, wrapping her arms around me in a hug.
"I love you too, mum." I whisper, sobbing on her shoulder and holding her closer to me. She separates to place a kiss on my cheek before going over to comfort her grandson.
     I look over at Mrs. May sitting down next to my mother. She shoots me a comforting smile before clasping her hands and bowing down in a silent prayer.
Sitting back down, I take Brian's hand in mine again. Silence filled the room besides a few sniffs here and there. My heart almost jumps out of my chest as I feel a finger move.
Opening my eyes, I look over to find Brian slowly opening his eyes and softly smiling at me. Everyone stands up and gathers around the large bed to witness his awakening.
"Hello my love," he whispers, slowly raising his my hand in his and placing a kiss on it. I smile as he does so and kiss his hand in return. He looks around at everyone gathered around his bed allowing his smile to slowly disappear. "Izzy, I'd like to talk to everyone individually. Reid, you first." He requests, allowing my mother to file everyone out of the room except Reid.
We all gathered in the hallway and waited for our turn. I look over to see John holding V and Jim hugging Freddie. Mary came over to me before hugging me as well.
One by one, everyone was requested to talk to Brian for about 5 minutes at a time. Everyone had gone except me but that shortly changed as Roger comes out and motions me to go in. I do as he says and enter the empty room with Brian in the middle.
He turns his head to face me before pulling a weak smile. "Come, my love." He whispers as I take a seat on the bed next to him. Taking my hand in his, he gazes into my tear filled eyes. "Please don't cry."
"I can't help it." I sniff, cupping my mouth with my other hand. "I don't wanna lose you." I whisper, holding his hand tighter.
"You won't, but there are things that need to be done." He starts allowing me to wipe my tears and tune in for what he has to say.
"I've asked Roger to take my place and be with you." He sighs, my eyes growing wide in shock.
"How could you? Brian, I don't love him..."
"Now listen," he interrupts, looking up to meet my slightly angered eyes. "Michael needs a father figure. Not only do I trust him, I know he'll take good care of you. I already talked to the financial manager and put Rogers name under the house as well as everything we own. However, your name will be the only one under the estate." He explains before stopping to cough a bit.
"The money is yours, but Roger is staying with you no matter what you say. I don't care if you remarry or not but," he pauses, breaking his grasp and pulling his rings off his fingers before placing them in my shaky palm. "if you do, use these." He finishes, turning his head and gazing at the sunny garden outside. A small smile appears on his face at the sight before turning back to face me.
"Come here." He whispers, morning for me to lower my head. I do as he says and gently press my lips onto his for the last time. "I love you Isabelle Marie May." He whispers, breaking the kiss before reuniting it again.
"I love you too Brian Harold May." I reply, separating his lips from mine and watching as he looks back at the brightly colored flower garden out the window. Heaving one last breath, he closes his eyes, still smiling, and drifts back into a sleep that can never be awaken.
His grasp lessens in my hand before I gently let lay in by his side. Closing my eyes, I breathe a heavy sigh and stand up. As I walk over to the door, I could already feel his presence that I've longed for after he was gone.
     I press my eyes tight as the tears stream down my face. My heart aches and my breathing is unstable as I grasp the doorknob.
Opening the door, I close it behind me before scanning everyone's face as they stare at me questionably. I shake my head as more tears drizzle down my face.
"He's gone..." I whisper.
