Love Of My Life {•Roger Taylor•} BOOK ONE

chapter one hundred;

Still Roger's POV

We were in the middle of '39, and I was just hitting my tambourine like I was supposed to.

I really couldn't stop thinking about Maddie, I really feel like shit. I don't know how she was doing, if she was awake, or if she's in pain.

It was time for the Love of my Life part, so Deaky and I weren't needed. When the spotlights went on Brian and Fred, I ran straight to the dressing room she was in.

I saw two stage crew members around her, they had ice on her jaw and a blanket over her.

I only had about two minutes to see her.

"She's still out?" I asked.

"Yep, she might be for another hour or so," one of them said.

"Okay, I'll come er her after the show. Please watch her carefully," I said almost tearing up. They nodded and proceeded their attention back to her.

I went to look through the wing of the stage, and they were just getting finished with the song.

I can't forgive myself for what I did.

John and I went back out in front of the crowd, we were doing Seven Seas of Rhye.

After that we ended it with Bohemian Rhapsody.

I was so mad with myself still. We got the the rock part, and I took my anger out on there.

"So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye?" Freddie sang.

I kept drumming, as we reached the end of the song I threw my drum kit down, nearly hitting Fred. I managed to hit the gong on time, though I was pissed at myself. Freddie and the boys gave me a glare as they finished.

God I ruined that show.

Once the lights had gone out, I made a run for it. I ran straight backstage and into the dressing room with sweat running down my face.

I looked through the door and saw Maddie rubbing her hands. I couldn't keep it in, so I started crying.

Maddie's POV

I woke up in the dressing room, bright lights shone through the room.

My jaw was still hurting like hell, and I ended missing the show.

I saw a crying and sweaty Roger come through the door and come bring me into his arms.

"I'm so sorry love, I'm such an idiot. God damnit," he sobbed.

"Hun, it's alright I promise. I know you were just playing around with Deaky- Ow ow," I said as he touched my jaw.

"Ugh look what I've done to you, this isn't okay darling. During our show after I came to check on you during Love of my Life, I threw my drum kit nearly hitting Fred at the end of Bohemian Rhapsody. Before that we played Seven Seas of Rhye and it just reminded me so much of you and- I can't forgive myself ever," he sobbed more into my shoulder.

"Love, I promise you it's alright. I'm fine, I can take pain killers back at the hotel. I would never be mad at you for anything." I said as I kissed his cheek.

He looked at my bruised jawline, I know what he was thinking.

"I promise Rog, it's fine. Mistake happen," I said trying to get him to stop crying. He nodded and we kissed it out.

Freddie, Bri, and Deaky came in and saw us kissing.

"Oh my goodness Maddie! Are you alright? I swear to god if Roger-" Freddie said before Brian cut him off.

"If she weren't fine she wouldn't be kissing Rog, would she?" He asked.

"I don't care if she's with Roger or not, she's my best friend and I need to protect her at all times. I would die for her if I had to," Freddie said almost tearing up looking at my jaw.

"Freddie, I'm fine really. It doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would. If I treat it right, it'll be gone fast," I said trying to cheer him up.

"Good, and it's not worth almost killing me over either Rog!" Freddie shouted.

"I'm sorry! I couldn't stop thinking about her, you do want us to love each other don't you?" Roger asked and Freddie nodded.

"I wouldn't have done that if I didn't love her, so don't come after me," he said as I blushed.

"Aw she's blushing," Deaky smiled.

After the show we went out to get drinks, which I was fine with. I could've really used one then.
