POV Yasmin.

On Saturday Rog went to the apartment to see if I was okay. I was a hangover of course, after yesterday's drinking in the pub.

Rog said he did not like me to dance on the table in the pub. Really I was too drunk to have.

I told him that if I did this is because it really was not on my lucidity. I apologized to him. At first Roger I was pouting and was angry, but then hugged me and all was well between us. I deserve a jealous friend so ...

The New Year has come and how much to the music world this year 1969 was turbulent and wonderful at the same time.

Between 15 and 17 August this year was the music festival at Woodstock. Three days of music, peace, love and rock'n'roll, and outdoor sex. That's it. The loving couples made love to free shamelessly. Really make love, not war. Other young people also took and smoked marijuana too. If I was at the festival would enjoy just the music, the wonderful peace that was at the festival and give kiss on some guys. I would not go beyond ... Without a doubt the festival this year will go down in history of the rock world. They attended the festival The Who, the cute and crazy Janis Joplin (I am a big fan), Joan Baez, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Jefferson Airplane, but the major attraction of the festival was undoubtedly Jimi Hendrix.

Jimi Hendrix on guitar sang the North American national anthem interrupted by the sounds of bombs (an explicit criticism of bloody Vietnam War not over yet). The festival was marked by the great rejection of US President Richard Nixon. With this festival Jimi Hendrix was acclaimed as the greatest rock guitarist of all time.

Rog and I attended the festival on television. My best friend was ecstatic with the presentation of Hendrix. The whole world saw on television the peaceful atmosphere and festival of love, the motto make love and not war, women with flowers in hair (I took this mania), the hippie movement, the more than 400,000 young people present. I wanted to be in Woodstock with Rog and our friends, but we were on the other side of the ocean.

As for the four Beatles members are much more reserved and mysterious lately. The weather is heavy between them. It is clear that the presence of Yoko Ono in the studios do not like the rest of the band ... Unfortunately there is no more unity between Paul, John, George and Ringo. I'm worried regarding the band, all the fans are.

On December 22 in Freddie goodbye, Tim and Bri. They will Truro on 30. We wish our friends a Merry Christmas with their families. Rog, Layla, Vick, Paul, Les and I set out to Truro in the Mini Cooper Rog. It was a mess the whole trip.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we were with our family. I enjoyed myself a lot with my Brazilian family. Rog was my house on the 25th after Christmas lunch. It was the afternoon me and my family. In the evening I went to his house and reviewed its family of King's Lynn. Brian, Tim and Freddie have linked to us wishing Merry Christmas.

Michael's father Roger called me on Christmas wishing me Happy Holidays. He said he called Winifred, Clare and Roger. Only Winifred and Clare talked with him. Rog is very stubborn. I do not know how long this situation will continue with Michael.

Other days passed quickly. My family will stay in Truro until January 6.

Finally arrived on 30 December. Tim called Roger and me at nine in the morning saying he was from London and would ride the Brian and Freddie. We asked again our address and explain to him how to get to town. We were looking forward to their arrival.

Tim, Bri and Freddie arrived at noon at Roger's house.

Rog called me speaking of their arrival. In the evening Paul, Les, Vick, Layla and I would go to Roger's house we meet with them and eat pizza and drink.

In the evening I went to Roger walk home with Layla and Vick. The boys were already there. I greeted Winifred and Clare. The two talked a lot with Freddie because it had not yet seen him before.

Freddie with his fussy and funny grimace and his sincerity won the Clare and Winifred. Freddie is a love.

The Rog family had returned to King's Lynn spend the New Year there. Good thing the guys came to liven up the Taylor family.

Bri, Tim and Freddie shared the guest room that is in Winifred's house. There is a single bed and two mattresses. For them there is no problem.

Winifred went to the bedroom saying that descend when the pizzas arrived.

Clare hung out with us. I spent most of the time next to Roger embraced his brother. She feels really miss Roger. It's so beautiful the two together.

Unfortunately the dating Clare and Luke failed. They were together only a few months. They really see who are great friends. That the love of friends talks. Had been no resentment between them. At least the two are getting along.

Roger felt sorry for sister when he learned of dating, but there is nothing you can do.

Clare soon complete seventeen and as time goes on it is identical to Roger. It is a real china doll, beautiful, intelligent. It is lean with enough curves, has long straight hair lightly curled and blue eyes the color of the sky. She draws attention wherever it goes and its beauty is not being unnoticed among my friends ...

- Have you decided on which university you will be in a year and a half, Clare? - Asked Vick.

- I try scholarships in three universities: University of London, Oxford and ...

- And what is the other university, my sister? - asked Rog looking at her sister.

- For the University of Harvard in the United States. The law school at Harvard is one of the best in the world. - Clare said.

- Wow. - I answered gaping. - Excellent choice Clare. You are very intelligent and will be able to get the scholarship in these three universities.

- My little sister will be away from me. - Roger sad said. - On the other side of the world.

- Rog, I do not know if I could go to Harvard. - Clare said kissing her cheek. I want to see my ability to intelligence, but I really want to go to London. Harvard is the last option.

- For hope I get in London or Oxford. - Layla smiled. - It is here in the UK it.

- If you study in London, Clare, make sure that the girls and I will leave with you direct, we will take you to pubs, parties. - I smile.

- I just want to see what places you take my sister huh. - Said Roger seriously embraced Clare. Even my sister eighteen or more always feel jealous.

- Wide to be silly, Rog. - said smiling.

- Clare my dear, you will be welcome in London. - Freddie said smiling. - I'll teach you to drink all. I will introduce you to various drinks.

- You're not crazy to do that, Freddie. - Roger said seriously.

- And what's wrong? An hour Clare will have to mature. - Freddie smiled.

- Only nowhere near the crazy of Vick, Clare. - Brian smiled.

- Shut up, Brian. - He said Vick getting a cushion and playing at Brian.

- Clare, you with us in London will not regret it. - Paul laughed.

- Will be welcome to capital, Clare. - Said Les.

- Certainly, Clare. I hope you get a scholarship to the University of London and stay close to us all. - I said last Tim looking closely at Roger's sister with her eyes shining.

Clare smiled at Tim's a somewhat that ... Wait ... The two are flirting?

My God ... I hope Rog not notice.

- Tim, to flirt my sister, I realized ... - said Roger.

- The jealous brother taking action. - Freddie smiled openly.

- I'm not flirting Clare, Roger. - Defended Tim.

- And do not even think about it brother. - Roger said seriously. - Clare's sixteen and you Twenty Two.

- Soon I will seventeen, Rog. - Clare said a little irritated.

- Still is under eighteen years. Tim is greater than twenty-one years. No way.

Yikes. All that remained was Tim and Clare fall in love. Roger would not accept this relationship. Damn it. Then I talk to Tim and Clare.

The sister of Roger looked at me for help. He said through lip reading after that talk to her.

The pizzas arrived and ate talking and laughing. We take beer too, but no one was drunk. Clare and Winifred took soda.

After a while I called Clare and we chat a bit in the yard.

- Clare, I noticed the glances between Tim and you.

- Yasmin, my brother he's insightful. Notices everything. I just pretty Tim. Tell me how was dating Tim?

I told her about my relationship with Tim, betrayal, said he forgave Tim and he forgave me because I did not love him really.

- Tim by the way is a womanizer. - She grimaced.

- All men at one stage of life are womanizing, Clare. Tim is a womanizer, and Brian and Roger. Freddie know recently I can not say the same thing, only time will tell. It is quiet this conversation is between us. I not gloss over Roger.

She hugged me and quickly returned the room before someone comes after us.

At midnight Clare was sleeping because rise early the next day to help her mother prepare the New Year's supper.

The girls and I stayed until two in the morning in Winifred's house talking to the guys.

Roger took Les Paul and the girls and I go home.

POV Clare.

Finally on December 31. I woke up at eight in the morning. I went to the kitchen. Mom left a message on a paper attached to the fridge saying that went to the supermarket to buy some things for the New Year's supper and said he had made the coffee, but I was supposed to prepare toast and stuff for the guys if woke up before she arrives.

I took slices of bread and put it in the toaster, I made orange juice and also prepared pancakes. Half an hour later Roger walked into the kitchen with pants and shirt and a sleeping face.

- Good morning my little princess. - I said my brother kissing my face.

- Good day my Prince. - I smiled at him.

- It is the first time you call me that. - He smiled sitting in the chair.

- For Mom and I you are our prince. - smiled ending of warm coffee and putting on the table.

Roger smiled and took a slice of bread that was in the toaster and took the jar of Nutella going on bread, eating.

The pancakes were ready and left covered on a plate not cool.

I took a cup filled it with hot water and grabbed a natural matte tea sachet. I do not drink coffee, only tea or milk.

Roger took a glass and filled with orange juice he had done.

- Did you sleep well at night my sister? - he asked.

- Yes Rog, I slept well. - Said eating a pancake. - How long you'll be here in Truro?

- Up to 11 my sister. - Said Roger. - But I wanted to stay, but the college classes return after January 20 and before that I will have some shows with the band Smile.

- I really wanted to see the band perform Smile. - I said.

- You're still a minor to enter the pubs. - Said Roger.

- Unfortunately. - I said sadly.

- Clare, do not talk like that. - Roger said. - Sister takes her teenage years, is a wonderful phase. Do not want to soon be of age. Then comes great responsibilities. I miss my childhood and adolescence, when not worried about anything. Today I have the right to care, the stage at school, the band have freedom for many things, that's true, but with it comes the charges. One day you will see me presenting myself in pubs, in famous concert halls. I will be a successful musician, sister. I promise to you.

Roger smiled at me. I kissed her face. My brother is right.

Five minutes later they entered the kitchen Freddie, Tim and Brian wishing me good morning. I greeted them back and they started eating breakfast.

- Clare Dear, it's all very good. - Said Freddie eating a pancake. - The breakfast is divine.

- Thank you Freddie. - I smiled at him.

- It really is very good. - Brian smiled taking the orange juice.

- Thanks for the tasty breakfast, Clare. - Tim smiled openly staring at me.

I smiled back and our eyes met. I felt an electric shock to the entire body. But soon I disguised. I did not want Roger picking on me.

After breakfast Roger said take a walk in the city and come back at lunchtime. Tim asked if I wanted to go with them. I said no because it will help my mother with the preparation of the New Year's supper.

Well I would like to be with them, just to flirt with Tim ...

POV Yasmin.

December 31, 1969 ... Last day of the year. I got up early to help my mother, aunts and grandmothers to prepare the evening meal. I arranged to stay with them until midnight. After midnight will go to Winifred's house. Layla, Vick, Les Paul and combined to go after midnight for us all spend the night there. I was preparing a savory dish and a sweet to take my friends at dawn.

It was very cold and the day passed quickly. In the early evening I packed myself in my room with my Brazilian materials. Brian, Tim and Freddie will come with Roger, Winifred and Clare have lunch here tomorrow. My cousins ​​were eager to meet my British friends. Freddie is not British, but it's like. He has a perfect British accent.

Wear a color pantyhose of very hot skin and I wore a booty and put a long sleeve dark green dress above the knee and above a hot coat. I let my hair down and put a cap and a scarf. I made a light makeup.

I drank wine and beer with my cousins, ate the goodies that my grandparents and aunts prepared. The fireplace in the living room is on. The cold is intense.

Midnight arrived quickly. I greeted my parents, family, saw the fireworks in the backyard, toast the arrival of 1970.

Around midnight and fifteen Rog called me saying he was going to get me because he knew I had prepared some things to take his place.

Shortly after he arrived at my parents' house, greeting me strongly. He turned me kissing my face, my hair, wishing me a Happy New Year. The greeted with the same warmth. Then greeted my parents and family wishing a Happy New Year.

I told my parents come back early, for them not to worry. Roger said brings me back then safely.

I took things that I have prepared and entered the car Rog.

Arriving at his home they were all there. I wished Happy New Year to my dear friends, Winifred and Clare. Brian was already a little drunk. Vick said:

- It has to be the same Brian to get drunk.

- Do not handle on his foot, Vick. Is new Year. - Layla said.

- Thank you for defending me, Layla. - Brian said smiling nonstop. - Vick hates me.

- She does not hate you, Bri. - I smile. - That I can assure you.

Drank with them and eat what we Clare, Winifred and I had prepared. Roger took the LP Abbey Road of The Beatles and placed to touch the turntable. Winifred was sleeping, but Clare stayed with us in the living room.

We all sang the songs very excited. Freddie and I were the wildest, sing Here Comes the Sun virtually alone and everyone clapped for us.

Freddie found a friend for all times. It is sensational and I realize that my life will be the partner for the follies too. We will be together in the joys and sorrows. He won me over completely with his crazy way and sweet at the same time.

Roger drank and smoked, along with the boys. Layla and Vick took wine and I accompanied them in the drink. We talked and laughed like crazy. We hear all the LP. Suddenly Rog said:

- We hear all the LP Abbey Road and has a song on this LP that I'm sure that suits Yasmine and me. - he said smiling.

Everyone looked at him amazed, myself included.

- And what would that song, Rog? - Freddie asked smiling. - I'm curious.

- Rog, what song is this? - It was my turn to ask.

- Everyone knows how much we are crazy, we discussed a lot, for silly reasons, serious reasons too, but we do not live without each other. At least I do not live without you, Yasmine.

He rose from the couch and picked up his guitar that was near the stairs and went on my way. I sat on the other couch between Layla and Victoria.

He took my right hand and kissed it.

- You are my childhood friend, Yasmine. My best friend. Can not stand the idea of ​​staying without you in my life. I'd go crazy if you go away, leave me, or if you wanted no more to do with me. I would die of sadness, disgust, for sure.

Roger sat to the floor facing me and started strumming the guitar. So my friends and I were curious to know what song is this.

As he made the introduction I smiled and my eyes filled with tears.

He started playing music and singing for real.

Oh, darling

Please believe me

I'll never do you no harm

Believe me when I tell you

I'll never do you no harm

Oh, darling

If you leave me

I'll never make it alone

Believe me when I beg you

Don't ever leave me alone

When you told me

You didn't need me anymore

Well, you know, I nearly

Broke down and cried

When you told me

You didn't need me anymore

Well, you know, I nearly

Broke down and died

As he was playing and singing the song Oh! My dear darling authored by Paul McCartney I cried. I was thrilled. Rog is singing so beautifully. I am impressed with your baby's face and his voice so hoarse to sing reaching very high notes. Who does not know Roger thinks he has no talent for singing. Rog is perfect singing. He sings and plays looking at me all the time.

He continued to sing:

Oh, darling

If you leave me

I'll never make it alone

Believe me when I tell you

I'll never do you no harm

Believe me, darling.

When you told me

You didn't need me anymore

When he finished singing Freddie said smiling:

- My God, this song is perfect for the two same. But this song is more than just a friendship, is a true love between a couple in love. I know both recently, but Rog without Yasmin really gets mad, loses the will to live.

I was crying and smiling.

He stood looking at me. I looked at him smiling and stood up from the couch. He put his guitar next to the couch and held me tight. The hugged her back, very strong and our friends hit palm to us.

He filled me with kisses on the cheek, forehead, gave me a peck.

- Yasmine, we are beginning a new year, a new decade. Promise you'll stay with me, who will stand?

- I promise, baby. - I smiled at him kissing her cheek. - I love you too, Rog.

- I love you too, princess. - He smiled back.

1970. A new year, the beginning of a new decade. I can not explain, but it's intuition, I feel in my heart that in coming years the life of Rog, my life and our friends suffer major changes. I feel it strongly. But despite all these changes we will continue together.

I will continue alongside Rog, how long he wants me. Just go out of your life if one day he come and talk to me I'm not important to him, otherwise I will always be next to my best friend ...
