Roger POV

The guys and I running we got the bomb in a big trash can. Freddie threw the big box with the bomb.

- RUN EVERYONE, OUT OF THERE, THERE IS A PUMP INSIDE THAT GARBAGE CAN, RUN - Said to the people who were nearby.

People started running, as did the guys and I running toward the hotel entrance. When we were already arriving in front of the entrance of the hotel the bomb exploded inside the garbage can and cars that were parked next to the garbage can had the alarms fired.

Freddie, Deacy, Bri and I were scared. We talked to the hotel manager about what had happened and asked to find out who had delivered this big box on our behalf, which was to find out who the teenager would be through cameras. Something has to be done and we call the police and explain what happened. New Orleans police would investigate the case. Mott the Hoople and we had to catch another plane at a different time. We went to the airport after lunch, and boarded toward Boston.

S exta Monday, April 26, 1974. Back in Boston, I explained over the phone to Clare, Kate and Jo what had happened, they sent us a bomb, because they sure wanted us to get hurt. I'm sure the damn Michelle Ma Belle, even thousands of kilometers away is behind it all and you should r helping others more damn Michelle Ma Belle.

After the Boston show, on April 27th, on Saturday, it was the turn to perform in Providence at the Palace Theater. On April 28, on Sunday, it was Portland's turn at Exposition Hall.

On April 29, on Monday we traveled to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where we would perform at the Farm Arena and on Tuesday, April 30, my sister Clare, Andrew and Kate arrived in the city to attend the show the next day.

"Glad you came, Kate," I said, smiling. "I'm so glad you're here, my angel. You give me strength and after what happened with the band, I needed you here.

"I'm here, my Drummer Boy, to give you and the band strength," Kate said, kissing my face.

During the day, Kate, Clare and Andrew accompanied the rehearsal of the band together with Mott the Hoople and the night we left by the city and went to a pub, Kate took many photos of ours. Everyone was hangover, except for Kate who did not drink anything alcoholic.

Wednesday, May 1, 1974.

In the morning after breakfast everyone was hung over. Freddie collapsed his head on the plate of fried eggs he had received at the hotel restaurant. After breakfast we went to rehearsal with Mott the Hoople and after lunch we learned that a second support band was included in the program: Aerosmith, an ambiguous group of glam rock whose lead singer Steven Tyler had a personality that resembled a bit of mine . We met all Aerosmith members: Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford. I noticed that the band's guitarist, Joe Perry, was interested in Kate. He kissed her face and hands. I huffed irritably. Only this one was missing. My friend falls into the charms of the Aerosmith guitarist. I see them talking happily and approaching and I stand next to Kate.

"Roggie, I was talking to Joe Perry the way we met, you ran me over," Kate said, smiling.

"You were lucky to have run over Kate and she came into your life," Joe Perry said looking delighted.

Kate smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah, Kate is very special to me," she said, wrapping my hand around my friend's waist.

"We'll see you later at the show and then there's dinner for us," Joe Perry said as he walked away.

I looked at Kate and she smiled as Joe walked away.

"You liked him, did not you?" I asked.

- Joe is very handsome and nice - She smiled at me looking at me - Roggie, wait, are you jealous of me?

Of course I would not admit to her that I was jealous, not here.

"Of course not, Kate," he said. "It's your impression.

Kate POV

So Rog said you're not jealous of me? I will do the test at night and we will really see if it is my impression or not.

Before the bands performed, the Queen and Aerosmith manager argued civilly, which of the two bands should perform first. Meanwhile, Freddie was talking to Mott the Hoople, keeping a little distance away from Steve Tyler from Aerosmith. I think Freddie was jealous of having split attention. Roger chatted happily with Steven Tyler, as did Clare and my cousin Andrew. I was already talking to Joe Perry, next to Brian. Joe promptly opened a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey and they began to drink, exaggeratedly. I had never seen Bri drink as much as now, and in the end the two of them were completely drunk.

"Joe, what I can say about Kate is that she's an exemplary friend, she's an angel in everyone's life," Brian said, running over the words and he hugged me to the side and I smiled at him drunk.

- I guess she really is an angel, an angel who fell from heaven - said Joe Perry also embracing me aside.

I noticed Roger watching us, as if he was bothered by something. I smile internally. He is jealous, but, nothing will say and I must assume that I am loving this jealous side of my friend.

It was time for the bands to play and both Joe Perry and my friend Bri played their guitars completely drunk and still very well. And as unbelievable as Rog looks, John and Freddie greeted him saying that he showed fervor and great energy by playing his Red Special during the show. After the show, we all went to a restaurant, near the place where the band performed. I was sitting between Joe Perry and Brian and Roger was sitting on the other end, looking at me, watching me. Clare and my cousin Andrew, who are meeting each other without Roger's knowledge, sat next to each other. Over dinner we chatted happily and took lots of pictures and there were more drinks. But this time Joe Perry and Brian did not drink any more. Roger and Freddie drank, but they did not get drunk this time. At the end of dinner, I get up and say that I would go to the bathroom and go out, towards the great hall, and I notice someone calling me.It was Joe Perry.

"Kate, wait," he said.

"I'm going to the bathroom," she told him.

"I know," he said, smiling, approaching me and standing in front of me.

I looked at him in silence, I did not know what to say to Joe Perry.

"I'd like to say a few things." He smiled.

- What for example? - He said looking at him.

"How smart, funny, sweet, beautiful." He smiled at me. "I do not understand how a girl like you is still single.

"I have not found the right person yet," I told him.

"On one hand I'm glad you're single, because I can do this," he said, kissing me on the lips, taking me by surprise.

Amazingly, I did not push him, I did not escape the kiss, but I was surprised by all that. He returned the kiss, but, does not mean that I'm interested in him, but, the kiss of Joe Perry is very good, I think the best until today. Other kids had kissed me, but Joe's kiss was really the best. When we finished kissing, Roger was standing at the top of the hall, watching the whole scene. And his countenance was one of disappointment.

Roger? I said in amazement.

Joe looked at Roger and the blonde said,

"Sorry, I did not want to disturb the moment.

At that moment Roger left like a rocket.

"I noticed Roger did not like the kiss we exchanged. - Joe said.

"Roger is very jealous of me," I said. "Friend jealousy.

Joe smiled.

"I hope we can see each other a lot more often, I really liked you, Kate, and even you living in London and I in New York one day will meet again, sorry for the kiss, but I wanted to do it tonight, after all, no I resisted her beauty, "he said, smiling.

"No need to apologize," I said, smiling. "Surely we'll still meet a lot more often around the world.

Joe smiled and then went back to the restaurant and I went to the bathroom and then went back to my friends. Roger had a big frown and I realized that Clare and my cousin Andrew were serious. What happened?

After everyone returned to the hotel, I called Roger for a drink with me at the hotel bar. I will be returning to London the next day with Clare and Andrew.

"What happened, Rog?" Why are you frowning so far? - I asked.

Roger smiled wryly at me.

"I do not know why I came to talk to you, Katherine," he said angrily. "I had something very important to talk to you about when I caught you kissing guitarist Joe Perry. He liked you, did you know that? You want to know a lot about her, I do not know how you guys did not change the phone.

"Because it has nothing to do with exchanging a phone with Joe Perry, just a kiss, Rog, and it was he who kissed me," I said truthfully. "I was going to the bathroom and he called me and said that I was beautiful and wanted do something and was already kissing me on the lips.

"Of course, and you returned, is not it Katherine?" - Roger said irritated - He liked the kiss, did not he?

"Roger, I liked the kiss, but that does not mean I'm in love with Joe Perry. He's a great guitarist, handsome, cool, I liked him, but not in the way you think. And actually his kiss was the best I've had so far, of all the boys, "she said firmly.

"Is his kiss the best?" - Roger made a face - That's because you did not get kisses from other guys, who might kiss better than Joe Perry.

- Same? And who is this guy? I said looking at him and he looked at me indecipherably.

Roger shakes his head.

"One day you might know, would not you?" He said to me sadly.

"Roger, why are you acting like this?" I asked him looking.

"Because I'm jealous, dammit," he said angrily. "Damn Kate, can not you see that?

"You said earlier today that you were not jealous," he said, arching his eyebrows. "And Rog, please, you have to be jealous of Jo, your girlfriend."

"I'm in love with someone else, Kate," Roger said directly.

And I put my hand to my mouth.

"Rog, are you in love with someone else?" I asked in amazement.

"Yes. You know I do not love Jo, and if I'm with her so far, it's because I like her company, I like her, but I do not love her and if I'm with her, it's because the person I'm in love with may not feel the even though I and I are afraid to confess my feelings - he said thoughtfully looking at me.

"Who is this person, Rog?" - I asked the looking - You know you can trust me, I can help you.

Roger shook his head and smiled sadly.

"You can not help me Kate," he said, looking at me. "It's up to me. And I do not want to take my problems to you, after all, now, you have an affair, Joe Perry.

"Rog, please, stop it," I said, touching his shoulder. "I have something to tell you, please pay attention.

I dared to tell him everything I had witnessed between Josephine and Richard, the kiss, everything, but Roger did not care.

- Kate, I do not want you to tell me anything, I do not want to hear any more, okay? S abe because it was early in the hallway? I went after you to tell you that after you left the restaurant to go to the bathroom, Clare and her cousin Andrew confessed to me that they were getting to know each other. I was amazed and a bit jealous of your cousin and they said that you already knew and that you had given all the support to them and I, Clare's brother, I was the last to know. Why did not you tell me about them both? Roger asked in annoyance.

"Because I did not have that right, Rog," I said. "Clare is your sister and she should have told you that before, she commented to me because I'm a woman and I gave her some advice about my cousin. And I say more: Andrew is really in love with her and I hope you accept a possible relationship between them, it is clear in the eyes of both how much they are in love, so please do not create problems on account of jealousy.

"I thought I'd have a perfect night with you here, but it was not as expected, it was not what I wanted," he said to me sadly.

"Roger, please, I'm sorry if I upset you, I'm going back to London tomorrow and I wish we did not have this annoying weather between us," she said sadly to him.

"Kate, good night and good trip back to London, okay?" He told me to walk away.

"Roger, do not you do this to me, Roger?" "I would call him, but he did not come back.

A few tears fell on my face and I wiped them away. If he wants to, that's fine. He who stays with Josephine, the tramp who betrays him. The courage I had in telling him everything, disappeared and I believe he will not return.

I go to my room very upset.

The next day, May 2, Thursday, Andrew, Clare and I returned to London and Roger did not come to us. I'm very hurt with my friend. I did everything to go to Queen's show and that's how he treats me with indifference. When he returns to London I will not go looking for him.

Roger POV

I did not say goodbye to my sister Clare or Andrew. I'm pissed at them, damn it, they should have talked to me earlier. And as for Kate, I'm very jealous and upset that she omitted Clare and Andrew's affair and also because she kissed Joe Perry. I want to make sure she feels something for me, but, by the way, no. I am completely disillusioned.

To be continued.
