Chapter 36 - Guitar Hero / June 1973.
POV Brian
Ivy and I had no reaction to Roger. But we soon get back together.
"Of course you do not get in the way, Rog. - I said. "I was explaining to Ivy about the formation of the planets, the stars, and then I started singing Something to her.
"Is everything all right, Rog?" Ivy asked.
"It's all right, only our friends were missing both of them, and I've come looking for them." Said Roger suspiciously.
Ivy and I got up and accompanied Rog into the ballroom.
For the rest of the party Ivy and I talked to our friends, but realized we were being watched by Roger.
"Rog is very jealous of you. She said to Ivy. - He is jealous.
"There's no need for Rog to be jealous. Ivy smiled. "It's because he promised my brother he'd take care of me, so he thinks about it.
"I do not think it's just that, Ivy. "But Roger does not have to be jealous." Our friend is very protective.
Ivy just smiled and I watched Roger looking at us, but disguised.
POV Roger
I saw the two of them hugging each other at the party. It irritated me more. I started drinking a lot at my sister's party.
"You do not get drunk, Rog. I realized that you're jealous of Bri and Ivy. - smiled my sister Clare. "But jealousy is not necessary, my brother.
"I'm not jealous, Clare. Said my sister.
She hugged me affectionately.
"Enjoy the party, do not drink too much, Rog. Said my smiling sister.
I was looking at my friends together. I just do not expect to be changed by Brian.
June arrived quickly. I'm at the end of college. Soon I will be free of the academic world and dedicate myself to music alone. At the beginning of the month the guys and I put our names on the back cover of the album. We put John Deacon from Deacon John, actually it was an idea of Freddie and mine, thinking it would sound better. My name was recorded extensively, Roger Meddows - Taylor which gave the band a more majestic air. And we also put the following phrase: and no one played a synthesizer.
Do you know why we put this phrase? Because during the recordings of the album, we spent four days recording a guitar solo and an asshole from Trident Studios said: I like this synthesizer.
That left the boys and me fucking angry. Soon our album will be released.
The remainder of June was marked by evidence, college work, and course completion work. Deacy is also at the end of his undergraduate degree in Electronic Engineering. Bri is still entangled in his studies of PH D in Astrophysics.
At the end of June, on a Saturday I went out with Ivy and went to the movies and then went to a pizzeria, just us. During the conversation I said:
"And you and Bri are dating?"
Ivy started to laugh.
"Bri and I are not dating, Rog. Only Bri and I became great friends, just as you and I are. No need to be jealous, my dear.
I looked at her deeply as we waited for the pizza. She took my left hand and kissed it.
"I'm afraid I'm being replaced by Bri." I understand that you are now great friends, but I am afraid that you will replace me as one of your best friends. - I said.
"Rog, you have a very special place in my heart. Always have. You will never be replaced, not by your brother Bri, but ... "she said and stopped the sentence.
- But? What would you talk and stop? I asked.
- Bri is my guitar hero. Just as you are my drummer boy, Bri is my guitar hero and since we are best friends Rog I want to confess that I am feeling an attraction for Bri. He and I have a lot in common. We're sensitive, nerdy, on different topics, but, we're nerds. We are quieter, calmer, we do not drink, we do not smoke. We like to talk nerdy affairs, not just music, you know?
- I get it. He said in a disappointed tone as he took my hand away from Ivy. "You're cancerous, make a birthday the same day. They really do.
"Rog, did you get upset?" - she asked.
"I just did not expect that, Ivy, but, okay. She said sadly. "You'll have someone else to take care of you."
"Of course not, Rog. Wow, I want your care and protection, Rog. You are one of my best friends. Do not get upset with me. She asked annoyed.
As much as I'm upset, I hugged her. I can not stand seeing sad Ivy.
- Sorry my little darling, my Brazilian, but, I felt jealous. I can not control. I said honestly.
"Thank you for your sincerity, my blondie. She smiled at me. "Rog, if I happen to be with Bri, I will not stay away from you." We will always be best friends.
- Swear to me? I asked.
"I swear, in the name of our friendship," Ivy smiled.
I hugged her affectionately. After the pizzeria, when I left Ivy at home, I parked my car in front of Bri's apartment. He received me and we talked.
- Bri, my friend, I want you to be honest with me: Are you in love with Ivy? - I asked.
Bri was having a glass of juice while I was drinking a can of beer.
- Ivy is beautiful, intelligent, friend, companion, a very fair, understanding person, understands music and many other things. Said Bri.
"I know she's all this, Bri, but you did not answer my question: are you in love with Ivy?"
Bri looked at me in silence, for some moment sighing and then spoke:
- Yeah. I'm in love with Ivy. I'm sorry Rog. I know how jealous you are, but I could not resist the charms of Ivy. She is adorable. And if she's in love with me, I'll do anything to make it work. Ivy is a very sweet girl. Said Bri.
I was devastated by my friend's statement and I sighed in defeat.
"Rog, my brother, my friend, please help me to conquer Ivy. Asked Bri.
And now what do I do?
P.S: A story is only at the beginning. There will be a lot of mystery and a love triangle between Roger, Ivy and Brian.
