My Fairy King

I'm Not a Child

September 5th 1971
*Freddie's POV*

I stood in the living room waiting for her to get ready since I still had plenty of time.  "What are your intentions with Cadence?" Oh I dreaded that bloody question.  "She's just my friend don't worry."  Well yes at the moment we were just friends.  "Stop fucking around there's a reason you're hanging out with a 16 year old." I just shrugged I wasn't planning on getting her drunk and raping her or something.

"You hurt her and I'll fucking murder you." I nodded.  I heard little footsteps and turned around.  It was Cadence and just like she told me she'd gotten a boot thing for her ankle so she could walk.  But most importantly she was wearing this beautiful dress that was yellow with sunflowers all over it and she had her hair down.  "Awww look at you dear...you look gorgeous." I walked towards her and put my arms around her.

I heard her giggle a bit and thank me she was adorable.  Her hair was down and she wasn't wearing her glasses which made me strangely happy knowing that she wasn't listening to her parents and listening to herself.  We said goodbye to her brother and I still helped her walk. She seemed so thrilled to finally get out. After a bit of walking we made our way there and since it wasn't a club or anything I didn't have to sneak her in.

I saw a little booth with Roger Brian John and a few friends from collage Tim and Mike. "Hello dears I've arrived!" Oh how I loved to be all flamboyant sometimes. They all greeted me and complained about how I was late. "Who's the kid?" Mike gestured you her as we both took a seat. "I'm not a kid...I'm 16." She muttered looking down clearly that kind of stuff pissed her off and I couldn't blame her.

"16? Fred why did you bring her to a bar?" Brian added on and I quickly shushed him. "I'll be responsible...just don't let us do anything we'd regret in the morning Bri." I definitely didn't want our first kiss or even the first time we shagged to be a drunken mess. I put my arm around her resting my hand on her hip. They asked some questions about her since everyone but Roger hadn't met her before.

After a few moments we all went up to get drinks except Cadence who had to stay there because she was underage and didn't have a fake ID or anything. I got myself a vodka tonic and her a Sex on the Beach since it wasn't very strange and damn was she a lightweight. We all came back with our drinks and I put hers in her hand not wanting another incident like with the tea.

"I think you'll like it love and if not I'll get you something else." I placed my hand on her shoulder taking a drink of mine. She took a sip of her and started coughing a bit and a few of the boys started giggling. "That's weird..." clearly she'd never had alcohol before. "It'll get better don't worry just keep drinking it and look there's a cherry!" I smiled knowing she liked those and grabbed it out of the drink giving it to her.

She smiled a bit and ate it before continuing to take small sips of her drink.  I could tell she was shy around new people because that's exactly how she acted around me our first few times hanging out.  I just traced little circles against her shoulder while we all talked and laughed.  She fit in quite well with all of us and as she drank more she also started talking.

I couldn't believe how little alcohol it took her to get tipsy it was crazy.  Roger went back up once we were all finished to get us more drinks.  Sure we were all broke as fuck but we'd been saving up a bit for this night.  "I'm going to the washroom I'll be right back." She turned to me and I nodded.  "But if you're not back in 5 minutes I'm calling the cops and saying you've been kidnapped!" I called out making her laugh.

I could see her stumble a bit hopefully from being drunk and not her ankle.  "So I can see the date with Mary didn't work out." Brian commented.  "No not really." Mary used to date Brian a while back but they broke up because they just weren't right for each other.  After a couple minutes she came back out and looked slightly off. 

"What happened kitten?" My protectiveness kicked one and I assumed someone had done something to her.  "I-I accidentally went in the wrong one and a bunch of people started yelling at me." She said quietly and a few people turned to her.  "How'd you go in the wrong one?  Are you legally bl-" John drunkenly mumbled out and I gave him the most "Shut the fuck up" look I'd ever given anyone in my life.

I put my arm around her tighter and kissed her head trying to prevent any panic attacks.  I knew John would never say something like that to her sober but when he got drunk his sassy side came out.  "She is?" He mouthed to me and I nodded.  We all tried to just ignore that and carry on with what we were doing.  I had her stop drinking after a bit because she got really fucking drunk.

It got to the point where I had to rush her back into the bathroom because she was about to throw up.  I felt bad for her because clearly that was much more than she could take.  I was drunk myself but no where near her.  She'd had about 3 and a half drinks which sounds like not a lot but she weighed less than 100 pounds.  Once she was done getting sick she leaned back against my chest.

"No more for you dear" I pet her hair helping her calm down.  We spent a little bit just sitting there before I helped her back.  After a bit just out of habit I guess she started drinking the rest.  "I said no more lovie." I told in a jokingly scolding tone.  She just giggled looking at me and took another drink.  "I just shook my head laughing a bit knowing I'd have to carry her home.  The bar by this point was packed since it was around 10 pm. 

We were all just laughing at stupid things getting into strange drunken arguments and probably spending more money than we had.  I honestly have no clue how long we were there but when we finally stumbled out it was late.  And I just like I thought was carrying her even though I hard a hard time keeping myself up.  She was dead asleep on my shoulder by the time we'd gotten to her house.

I knocked on the door lightly and a few moments later her brother opened it silently judging me as I carried her back into her room.  I put her on her bed and placed the covers over her.  I kissed her forehead and left.

I apologize for not updating these past few days!  I've been quite busy but I finally got some spare time!
