Time waits for no one

Wow, you sure do have a preference

March 10, 1978

"Brooklynn, I still don't see why you're leaving." Freddie said, with a mouth full of ice cream. I turned and faced him, sitting the box down.

"Freddie, it's about time I start my life, as an independent woman again, don't you agree?" I asked him. He cocked his head to the side. "Plus, I'm getting married." I told him, whispering. He shrugged.

I've gotten a house with my fiancé, Jimmy. We've been dating for around 2 years, and been engaged for around 3 months now.

The boys haven't met jimmy yet, and don't know much about him, including the fact that we're engaged, except Freddie.

"Well what about me? I don't want to be alone."  He pouted. "Freddie, you're 34." I told him, laughing. He shrugged and ate another spoonful of ice cream. "Hey Brooklynn, you need me to grab anything else?" John asked me.

"No, that's it, this is the last box." I told him, picking up the box that I had set down. "I got it." Roger told me, picking it up. "No I don't." He said, dropping it. I let out a loud laugh.

"Lift with your legs, Roger." I told him. He tried it again, and lifted it.

"I'm gonna miss you." Freddie told me. "Freddie, I'm not gonna be too far." I told him, smiling. "I mean when we leave." He told me. I frowned.

"I'm gonna miss you too. I'm gonna miss all of you guys." I told the boys. "We're gonna miss you too, Bea." Roger said, walking back in.

The boys are going on their "Jazz" tour soon. They leave in 2 weeks, actually. "You guys are gonna be back in no time, like the last few times." I explained. Brian nodded.

"And I'm gonna miss you being my roommate." Freddie said, running to me with open arms. I let out a laugh.

"I have to leave now, guys, Jimmy is waiting for me at home." I told them, getting my keys. "Hey, when can we meet him?" Freddie asked.

"We could now, since he's there." Deaky suggested. "Yeah, now's actually a perfect time." Roger said. I looked at Brian, and he was just nodding.

"Well, I wanted it to be a more planned time, but I don't see why not." I said, shrugging. The boys cheered. "Who's riding with me?" I asked. "Me, of course." Freddie said. "And me!" Roger shouted.

"Roger, you drove your car." I told him. "Yeah, with me in it." Brian added. He shrugged. "So? John can drive it, and brian can ride with him." He explained.

"But John's driving the truck with Brooklynn's stuff in it." Freddie said. "Jesus, Freddie and roger you can ride with me, John can drive the truck, and Brian can drive Roger's car!" I yelled.

"But I don't want to be alone." John said. "Aww." Freddie said, I just slapped my head.

At Brooklynn's home:

"Wow, this place is beautiful." Freddie said, getting out of the car. "It is, isn't it?" I said, in admiration.

"What exactly does your boyfriend do?" Roger asked, curious. I would see why, the house was very nice, and looked expensive.

"Well, he's actually in a band." I told him. I heard car doors slam, and I turned to see Brian and John. "Wow!" John said, in awe.

"You guys wanna see the inside?" I asked them. "Well yeah, that's the reason why we came." Freddie said, in sarcasm. I just rolled my eyes.

"Come on, the boxes can wait." I told them, walking in. "Jimmy, babe?" I called out. "In here!" He shouted, from the kitchen. "I brought the guys." I told him, walking in.
