POV Yasmin.

After the launch party for the album '' Queen '', on July 19 birthday was twenty-six years of Bree. He celebrated in a pub with friends. Brian and his father were still estranged. What a bad situation. My friend felt really miss father, Harold, and even the ever cried about it for me.

Brian has not completed its P. H. D in astronomy because it has been involved with the recording of the album and on the day of presentation of his doctorate he just was not. He preferred music. Ruth her mother did not like the idea but supported him, as his father did not care to talk to his son. On the cocktail was only Ruth present.

Bree told me he had to give up one of his dreams to invest in the other, but he assured that one day end your P.H. D. And I believe. Bri is very smart, nerd. When he did not talk to me music starts talking about the rings of Saturn, Supernova, comets and so on.

I have an enormous affection for Brian. I want to be your friend forever. I did a great friendship with John as well. He's very cute with me.

On the day we were in the pub to celebrate the birthday of Brian, John said to me:

- Roger is slowly better, Yasmin. It's still hard for him. He loves you madly. But he said since you do not want to stay with him, respects their opinion and is doing everything to get her out of his heart.

- I bet now he already is with a woman in the pub. - She said laughing. - It is typical of Roger, quickly he forgets me.

- Deception your sweetheart. - Seriously said Freddie. - Things do not work like that. Since you denied the love of Rog he was not with any woman. He said he will give some time to your heart. Yasmin, he still suffers, but quiet because he did not want to lose his friendship.

- Freddie and John I wanted to love Rog otherwise, but ...

- But? - Asked Freddie. - Dear hear the voice of your heart and also discover what is best for you. I only ask you to be careful what you say to Rog. It is still fragile.

- Form a double so beautiful. - She smiled Veronica embraced John. - You are very cute.

I smiled weakly.

- I agree with Veronica. - Mary smiled. - And Rog is increasingly beautiful. Time has done well for him.

I watched Roger for a moment. He usually talked with Brian, Tim and Clare. He's so beautiful, so sweet.

My God will I made the right decision?

I tried to get those thoughts out of my head.

July 26 was the birthday of twenty-four years of Roger. He celebrated in the apartment with the boys and the girls. His mother Winifred and my parents came from Truro especially for that date.

I took many pictures with him. He was trying to get back to how it was before me, but this delay. I understand perfectly. If it were me also take. But I will be there at your side, giving you attention and affection as a childhood friend.

The boys already have more songs composed and in August will enter the studio again to record the second album. Will be recorded again at Trident Studios and has marked the recording schedule: always late at night, because the rate is cheaper at this time. John is at the end of the faculty of Electrical Engineering and involved with the work Completion of course, but said he will find a way to reconcile everything.

In August the guys just went to the studio every night to record the second album. They recorded ten at night until two in the morning almost from Monday to Friday. John was tired as it stood at six in the morning to go to college. I was sleeping badly. When he arrived Saturday and Sunday was sleeping almost all day. As Brian gave up P.H. D lost the stage and is not working at the time. Freddie works at the clothing store, but is opening the store after noon while in the studio. He takes a morning to sleep. And Rog continues Biology teacher being all day. As Deacy he has slept badly when it comes Saturday and Sunday sleeps virtually all day.

One Friday night the boys invited the girls and I to go to the studio, to see how an album recording process is done. Layla, Vick, Clare, Mary, Veronica and I went. Victoria went every Friday to the studio with them, but to take pictures of them while recording the LP. Today she was going to work again. We promised we'd just that time. We will not engage in anything related to the recording of the songs, or any discussion between them.

Rog went home at quarter past nine in the evening and gave ride to Clare, Vick, Layla and me. Veronica was with John, Bri and Freddie.

Shortly after we arrived and we were delighted with the studio, its halls and equipment. I knew some sound equipment, mixing, after all sang in church not so often.

Before they start another album recording night.

Freddie called me and I went into the recording room. He handed me a microphone and said, smiling:

- Sing for us, Yasmin.

- Freddie you gone mad? - said blankly.

- Start recording soon, before we want you to sing a song and I'll play the piano, Brian on guitar, Deacy on bass and Rog on drums. Simple like that. Take vocals for a few minutes.

The girls were gestures for me on the other side to accept.

- And that song you want me to sing? - I asked.

Rog scratched his head looked at me and said:

-We Are fans of The Beatles, kitten. Sing a song of The Beatles.

- Can be Hey Jude? - I asked them.

- Of course darling. - Freddie smiled sitting on the bench in front of the piano.

He was nervous. I never sang in a studio. I started singing and Freddie play music on the piano, then John, Bri and Roger started playing. Victoria took several pictures. During the song they made the second voice. How crazy is that? I want to get out of here.

The song lasts almost eight minutes. I am crazy.

When you are finished singing they hit palm to me and Freddie said:

- Are you sure you do not want to be a singer? Go solo? We can help it.

- I've tried to convince her several times Freddie, but Yasmine never wanted. - Said Roger approaching and kissing my face. - A wonderful gift our friend has, but do not want to invest.

- I appreciate the compliment guys, but my world is journalism. - I smile. - Singing is just a hobby.

- Ok dear, it's a hobby, but from now on we will do this more often. I love to sing with you.

I smiled kissing the faces of four boys and returned to the place she was with the girls.

They praised me and I said I was crazy to have accepted the challenge of Freddie.

We saw the boys in another recording night in the studio. Victoria took several pictures of them. They decimated. I was delighted to see a recording studio. It's another fabulous world.

The month of August came to an end and they finished recording the LP in a month. They are exhausted. Also they rehearsed almost every day.

Freddie in September and I celebrate our birthday together in the house I share with my friends. And I took Nicholas. Nicholas is doing journalism graduate in the same room as me. We have known each other for almost two years, from when I started graduate school, made friends and got to hang out together several times with classroom staff.

I did not say anything to anyone yet, but Nicholas and I are dating for two weeks. Well before Roger to propose to me, Nicholas did so saying he liked me. I said I did not like it the same way, but he said he would wait for me and have patience.

With everything that happened between Roger statement and I decided to take a chance on Nicholas and myself. Nick has red hair blue eyes. It's beautiful. I want to forget the mess that is my heart to know if I like or not Roger otherwise and decided to stay with Nick. It is quite different from Roger: no womanizer. It is quiet, sensitive, a real prince.

On the day of my birthday celebration with Freddie I introduced Nick to everyone and said we were dating for two weeks.

When I presented the Roger Nicholas I said:

- Nick, this is my best friend, a childhood friend, Roger commented that with you.

- Good evening Roger, how are you? Nice to meet you.

Nick greeted Roger Rog and greeted him back saying:

- Good night, Nick. Nice to meet you too. I know Yasmine thirteen years ago.

- She speaks highly of you, how much is special to her. - Nick smiled. - I hope we can be friends as well.

  - Of course I do. - Said Roger smiling weak.

I looked at Roger and realized the great effort he made to be friendly with Nicholas.

Shit. I think it was not a good idea to introduce him to Rog right now.

Roger excused himself to us and walked away.

Freddie asked permission to Nicholas and said:

- Yasmin can talk to you quickly alone?

- Of course Freddie.

Freddie and I moved away.

- Why did you bring Nicholas here? Okay it's your birthday, but Roger is present.

- Freddie, Roger needs to get used to the idea that I have a boyfriend.

- I agree Yasmin, but our friend still suffers for you, the rejection of being dumped her. I did not like what he did tonight. Even the girls thought you extrapolated. That was all I have to say.

Freddie quickly left. At this time I saw Clare talking quietly with Tim and looking in my direction. Damn it. Now it's late.

Nicholas came up to me and said smiling

- It's all right love?

- Yes Nick, it's okay. - I smile unwilling.

POV Roger.

Only this was missing. Jasmine with new boyfriend. Okay, it will not scandals, nothing of the sort, nor my jealous idiot appear this time. I will be quiet, reserved.

I love so much that while Yasmine is aching in my chest to know that once lost a chance I'm happy for her. I love her so much and want to see her happy, even with another guy than me.

She introduced me to Nick. He seems to be nice, now I be his friend is asking too much.

Quickly out of their presence and went for a beer.

Brian and John approached.

- Take it easy, Rog. Do not get drunk. - John said.

- I will not get drunk, Deacy - said playing on the shoulder of my friend.

- We are with you, Rog. - Brian smiled.

I drank beer and talked to Brian, John, Freddie, Tim, and Les Paul. They would not let me get drunk tonight. If there was the rest of that night was Freddie.

POV Yasmin.

After midnight Freddie and I sang happy birthday. Victoria took a lot of my photos.

I realized that the boys pulled conversation with Nick even unwilling. Until Roger exchanged a few words with him without the slightest will.

October and November came. Clare was a little strange to me. I decided to talk to her.

- Clare what's going on? You have not spoken to me right.

- It's nothing, Yasmin. - I said trying to change the conversation.

- Tell me the truth. It is because of Roger is not it?

She took a deep breath and said:

- Yasmin I agree that you have to follow your life, meeting new guys and even dating, but you presented Nicholas very fast at all, after Rog's declaration of love. My brother does not show, but suffers silent the whole time. He even stopped the stupid jealous of him because he wants to see you happy. He suffers, but since you are happy next to Nick he respects. I was just sad the way you so quick to introduce Nick at all. Should at least have saved Roger, have said that Nick was a friend, like, invented something.

- If I lied to Roger would be worse, Clare. I do not want any more lies between Roger and me. I'm sorry if I acted hasty and did not mean to hurt the Rog again. I just hope our friendship will not change that.

- Ok Yasmin. It will not change. Sorrow has passed. - Clare said hugging me.

After all felt that Clare would never be the same with me too.

Finally reached in December. I finished my Master with a 10. John and Veronica got through college and took top marks at Work Completion of course. Vick completed his graduate and Layla the Master. My next step: PhD in journalism for next year.

Layla, Vick, Les Paul, Roger, Clare, Tim and I went to Truro on December 16. We spent Christmas in Truro with our family. Nick was in London with their families. Freddie, Bri, John, Veronica and Mary were also in London at Christmas.

After Christmas, exactly on December 29 we returned to London. Our parents were in Truro.

We will spend the New Year in the UK capital between friends in the house they share with my friends. Nick will be present. In the last two months he was a few performances of the band and loved it. I said my friends have a lot of talent.

He has talked more with my friends and they treat Nick sake, I hope it becomes a great friendship.

POV Roger.

Today is December 31, 1973. They are ten. I met with all my friends in the apartment of the girls. We look forward to New Year's Eve together. The girls prepared the supper. It's all a delight. The drinks also.

Nicholas is present. He has talked amiably with me, with everybody. It looks good, doing my happy friend. It seems that Yasmine is in love with him for real. I hope it works for it pains in my chest.

But there is something in Nick I can not explain I do not like. I do not think totally true with my friends and me.

End to take another beer.

Soon reaches midnight and we shook hands wishing a Happy 1974 to everyone.

Yasmin comply with love and say,

- Happy New Year my kitty. - I smiled at her and kissed her face holding her. - All the best to you in this new year. That your dreams become real. I will always be with you, always.

- Happy 1974 to you too Rog. - She smiles kissing my face. - I'm sure that this year the band will make even more success. That their most beautiful dreams come true and tell me always. I will always be with you my kitten.

One of my dreams is to have you, Yasmine, but this is impossible.

We held each other tight and stayed like that for almost a minute. Until Nicholas approaches greeting me and wishing a Happy 1974. Compliance back.

They walk away.

I sigh.

I hope this year is really best for me at all. Please God, help me get Yasmine my heart.

POV Nicholas.

I saw Roger and Yasmin hugging and kissing on the cheek. I HATE ROGER TAYLOR. And I'll do anything for this beautiful friendship between the two end once and for all. In fact I hate all friends of Yasmin. Stupid people. And these guys, they think that will really make some success with the band? Poor them. QUEEN will be a failure.

If I talk to all of them do this only by Yasmin. But over time it will no longer have the friendship of none of them, especially ROGER.

She always spoke of Roger to me in graduate classes how much was beautiful, cool, friend and blah blah blah. I see that sucker love Yasmin. Although I never told it to me.

Yasmin in the future will be just me and no longer have these ridiculous friends and these friends mega protectors. And that Freddie? A complete idiot. Ridiculous. Douchebag.

Yasmin will make friendship only with my friends.

Prepare yourself Roger Taylor. Their beautiful friendship with Yasmin come to an end.

POV Roger.

I am eating a piece of salt cake that Yasmine made and having a beer when Nicholas approaches me:

- Want Nicholas beer? - Offer to him.

- No Roger, thank you. I do not take beer.

- So is the will to get anything else. - Smiles amiably.

- Roger actually I want to talk to you.

- Something happened, Nicholas?

- You know what happens? I can not stand you, Roger. And I say more: IT IS FAR FROM MY GIRLFRIEND. YASMIN IS MY GIRLFRIEND. I know it's her best friend, but I also know that he loves her otherwise, he is passionate in his eyes. Just do not realize who is really stupid.

- I tell you truly love Yasmine. - Seriously said. - But as it is with you and are happy to respect her decision. And most of all want to see her happy though my heart is still sad.

Nicholas laughed sarcastically.

- How much sensitivity, Roger.  You have not got the message? I want you to stay away from Yasmin to as FRIEND. Get it now?

- It turns out you idiot is no one to tell me to do something. I will continue being the best friend of Yasmine. I will always be with her, for what she needs and only go out of her life if one day HER REQUEST THAT.

Now excuse me. Good day, Nicholas.

Leaves the presence of idiot.

Nicholas is not really reliable.

POV Nicholas.

The idiot does not understand my message. Well then Roger Meddows Taylor, I will make the year 1974 a hell in your life. And soon Yasmin will dispense it as a friend.

Machiavellian smile.
