Richard's p.o.v

I sat in the passengers seat staring out the window. John and Paul were in the back looking at the map as George drove. He wouldn't talk to me anymore. So I didn't even bother to make conversation with him. It's been almost a month now and after days of searching for her, we had to give up. We were already making our way into New York.

I tried to focus on the buildings outside. My mind was elsewhere though. I thought about her. Her face. I always ended up hurting her.

I stared at the ring I bought her at the pawn shop a few months back. The small diamond glistened in the light. I remember how nervous I was because it was so small. I had bought Maureen a ring with a huge diamond. But Rosy was still proud of her ring with a small one. I smiled to myself remembering how happy she was. But now...here it is in my hands. She's gone. My baby is gone. My life is gone.

I sighed and wiped the tears that escaped my eyes. My eyes were red enough as it is. My stomach grumbled.

"Richard you really need to eat something."

"I told you Paul, I'm fine."

He sighed and went back to talking to John.

"Turn here. This is the club David was talking about. He might be here." John said leaning up front with George. I sighed and yawned.

We stopped in front of a small club. It looked a little run down but a lot of people were lined up outside. I looked at my watch.

5:15 pm

"Let's go inside yeah?" Paul said pulling me along. I nodded and followed. I really wasn't in the mood to be around people but I assume I should try to enjoy myself.

.......

Rosy's p.o.v

"Uuuh Right there." I said as David and his other band mate put a mattress down on the floor.

I smiled and looked around my small apartment. David helped me get this place. The manager is a friend of his and they managed to let me stay here. Me being pregnant really helped out in the situation. I smiled as David brought in a small tv.

"Oh David you didn't have to."

"Yes I did. Plus Arielle was getting pretty upset that I didn't even offer you the tv."

I laughed. "Well tell her I said thank you. Also thanks for the place David. You've really helped me out a lot."

"No problem Rose." He looked around. "I think that's about it." He smiled. I nodded and walked with him to the door.

"You really are a lifesaver." I smiled.

"Don't make me blush." He smirked. I nudged him. He looked down at me and sighed. "They're coming today."

"I know."

"Look I didn't tell em where you are or where you're stayin. I just let John know you were alright."

"Thanks David. I wonder if he told Rich. It doesn't matter."

He touched my stomach. "Six months now?"

I nodded and smiled. My stomach was getting huge.

"I'll call you later alright? I gotta go now. Gig starts at six."

"Alright."

"I left you something on the coffee table. Bye now."

"Bye David." I smiled as he walked out the door.

Once the place was empty, I sighed and sat on the sofa. I grabbed the small envelope from the table. Inside was some money and a ticket. I pulled out a small piece of paper.

Rosy, heres a ticket to tonights show. Richard and the others will be there. I know you're mad at him, but you love him. I can see the hurt in your eyes these past few weeks. Talk to him alright? Take the ticket. Please.      -David

I swallowed and looked at the clock. I felt a tear run down my cheek. I don't know what I should do. What if he doesn't want to see me? What if he's angry. Of course he's angry. I left without a word. I gave him back the ring. I love him. I do. But am I ready to see him?

I walked to the dresser and pulled out an outfit. I undressed and decided to shower before I showed to the gig.

.......

Richard's p.o.v

(Three hours later)

I downed another drink and asked for another. A brunette bird was flirting with me as I ignored her. She was touching my arm and giggling.

"....so, maybe you can take me into the backroom and.." She leaned in and kissed me. I was to drunk to know what I was doing so I just went with it. I stumbled out of my seat and was led into a dark room.

She fumbled with my belt as I leaned back against a wall, unzipping her dress. I blinked and felt my pants drop to the ground. I fell back on the couch and watched as she got on top of me. I moaned feeling myself slide into her.

I ran a hand through my hair and listened to the loud music playing outside. My body was heating up as this bird rode me to my release. I gripped onto her thighs and helped her move as she moaned.

Everything was a blur. The room was spinning. My eyes began to burn. I groaned as I felt myself come as she slowed down on top of me.

We eventually got up and made our way back outside. I walked to the bar and asked for another drink.

"Ey Richard don't you think maybe you should slow down there?"

I turned to see a blurry John.

"Fuck off John and leave me alone. I fucked one bird tonight I plan to fuck another." I laughed and down another drink. John shook his head and walked away.

"Hey!" I heard a bloke shout. I didn't even realise what was going on until I felt a blow to my face. I fell back hit my head on the hard ground.

"You slept with my girl and you think you can get away with it!?"

I felt his foot connect with my stomach.

"I think it was the other way around mate!" I laughed as he picked me up and tossed me out the back door. I groaned, landing on the cemented floor. I noticed my blood splatter on the ground. He continued to kick and punch and drag me around. I didn't care. It hurt like hell but for once, my mind wasn't thinking about her.

I heard someone scream and noticed the bloke run off. The pain hit me like a ton of bricks. I groaned in agony. I spit out blood as I tried to lift myself up. I stumbled and fell again.

"Richard...oh Richard."

Her voice was soft and delicate. Full of hurt and sorrow. I felt my eyes grow heavy as everything turned into darkness.

.......

I woke up in pain. My head was throbbing while my body ached. It hurt to open my eyes. I noticed I was laying on a mattress. I sat up and looked around in an unfamiliar enviroment. I was almost naked. Just left in my underwear.

The smell of coffee filled the air as I tried to get up. I groaned and fell back on the soft mattress.

"Richard?"

I looked up to see her walk in from the next room. Her face. She was so beautiful. I felt my heart flutter. She was wearing a robe. Her hair was damp. She sat down next to me and stroked my face. I watched her.

"Rosy?...is that you?"

"Yes Richard it's me."

"What are you...where..what happened....ow." I groaned as I laid back. She got up and left for a few seconds before coming back. I felt something cold and wet against my head. It felt nice.

"Rosy..."

"Shhh. Richard just rest alright?"

"I need to tell you..."

"Tell me later okay? Please Richard, you need to rest."

I nodded and felt my eyes grow heavy again until all went to darkness.

......

I groaned as I felt a sting on my chest. I opened my eyes to see Rosy with a wet cloth, dabbing my chest with it.

"I know it stings Richard. Just try to relax." I sighed and watched her. She moved her fingers over my chest. I slid my hand over her stomach. I smiled to myself.

"You're bigger."

She laughed a little. "Yeah. They seem to move around a lot in there."

I looked at her. "They?"

"I'm....were having twins."

I smiled and rubbed her belly.

"Twins." I whispered to myself.

She smiled and put a bandage on my torso. I winced.

"Sorry." She whispered. Her fingers were gentle. I laid back and sighed.

"Thank you." I said staring at the ceiling.

"You're welcome."

"Where are the others?"

"They're with David. They know you're here."

I nodded. "What happened last night?"

"Well, I decided to go to the gig and I noticed you pissed out of your mind. Long story short, you fucked the manager's girlfriend and now, here you are."

I groaned.

"And now i'm in hot water because the manager of the club is also the manager of this place. So if he sees you, I'm probably out."

"Rosy...maybe I should leave."

"Don't." She said looking at me. I sat up a little. I was about to say something but my stomach grumbled. She smiled.

"There's food in the kitchen."

I nodded and watched as she stood up. I watched her undress and change into some nicer clothes.

"Where are you headed?" I asked standing up.

"I have a date."

I bit my lip and felt my stomach turn nervously. "Oh."

She looked at me and laughed. "No i'm kidding. George is taking me to go see a movie. I guess it can be a date. I get to see Anthony Perkins on the big screen so, it will be fun."

"Can I come?" Fucking hell I sounded desperate. She walked over to me and brushed my hair out of my eyes.

"Okay. You should fix up first. You look like a mess." She smiled. I laughed.

"Your clothes are on the couch. John brought them by earlier."

I grabbed an outfit and showered. Once out, I looked at myself in the mirror. I had a dark bruise on the left side of my face. My lip was busted and I had a black eye. I had a huge dark bruise over my chest and another on my back. I had cuts and scrapes all over my body. My knuckles were scraped and raw. It hurt like hell.

"Need help?" Rosy said walking in. I nodded. She helped me get dressed and fix myself up.

"What time is it?"

"Seven thirty. Geo is coming at eight."

"I think he hates me." I said looking down.

"He doesn't hate you. He was the first person asking about you earlier."

I smiled to myself as Rosy put my shoes on. We finished getting dressed and I ate while there was a knock on the door. Rosy ran over and opened it. George smiled and hugged her.

"Oh Geo I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too love. Here."

I watched as he handed her a bouquet of flowers. She smiled and blushed.

"Thank you Georgie." She kissed him softly and he kissed back. I cleared my throat and they pulled apart.

"Sorry. Come in Geo." Rosy giggled.

She grabbed a vase to put the flowers in.

"Just let me fix my hair. I'll be back in a jiffy. Then we can go."

Me and George nodded and stood alone. It was awkward for a few minutes as we waited.

"So uh..."

"George. I'm sorry that I was the cause for Rosy leaving. I know you're mad at me for that."

"All that matters is that she's here now. Plus, I can't stay mad at you." He smiled.

"Thanks George."

We watched as Rosy came out and walked over to us. She looked so beautiful. She giggled and closed our mouths.

"Shall we?"

"We shall." George smiled as she looped her arms with ours. We left her flat, on our way to our date.
