All In The Mind

"Freddie" Roger called, shaking the frontman's shoulder to wake him

"Hmm?" His eyes shot open, immediately looking around

"We can see Deaky" Brian smiled

Freddie stood up and paced around, he had no idea where he was going, he was just so excited. A doctor came up to the boys.

"Hello gentlemen, I'm Dr Dillon and I've been looking after John" He smiled

"How is he?" Freddie asked

"He's ok. John has got memory loss. We don't know if he will ever remember some things. However there may be small triggers that set his brain working again." The doctor explained

Freddie heart sank, John wouldn't remember all of the memories they made together. Not their first date, first kiss, first time they told one another they loved each other.

Freddie found himself out of his daze and walking into Deaky's side room. Brian walked in first, followed by Freddie and then Roger.

As soon as Freddie saw John he ran up to the bed.

"You had me so worried!" Freddie cried into his shoulder. John just sat there looking at this random stranger crying on him. He tensed up, not knowing what to do.

"Hi John" Brian smiled

"Hey Brian" John said. Freddie sat up and stopped crying. He knew Brian? The guitarists face was filled with shock and a bit of guilt. It should be Freddie he knows first.

"You know who I am?" Brian asked

"Yeah. How could I forget that poodle head?" John smiled

Roger giggled a bit. Brian did too! John always has the one-liners. This was his best so far.

"Who have you brought with you Bri?" John said looking at Freddie and Roger

"This is Freddie and Roger. You don't remember, they are our friends. Freddie is your boyfriend" Brian smiled whilst explaining

"Boyfriend?" John took a long glance at Freddie

"Yeah" Freddie smiled

"Sorry. I don't remember. I feel really bad" John said, scratching his head

"Do you remember me?" Roger asked optimistically

"Sorry" John frowned

"It's ok, I'm sure you will soon. When you recover" Roger said

"What happened?" John asked

"We were in the pub and some football fans came in and started a fight. You just got caught up" Brian explained

"Oh" John tried to work out everything

"Excuse me a second" Freddie said before leaving the room

"I'll go" Roger said

"Alright" Brian smiled before sitting on the end of Deaky's bed

Roger walked out and saw Freddie propped up by his elbows on the window seal.

"Fred" Roger said before putting his hand on the older man's back

"It's not fair Rog!" Freddie blurted out

"I know it isn't" Roger hugged Freddie

"I love him and he doesn't even know me" Freddie sobbed

"Do you want to talk about it?" Roger asked, he was never really good at sympathy but he knew that Freddie liked to talk through his feelings

"Yeah" Freddie sniffled

The pair then slid down and sat on the floor with their backs against the wall.

"Spill" Roger simply said

"At the pub, I wouldn't let him go without a kiss. I'm so glad I did. I keep imagining it if I didn't." Freddie said

"You don't need to imagine if you didn't because you did. As soon as he remembers you he will remember the love he has for you" Roger reassured Freddie

"But what if he doesn't?" Freddie questioned

"He remembers poodle head" Roger giggled

Freddie let out a snicker, "I suppose"

"Come on, let's go back in" Roger stood up and put his hand out

Freddie took his hand and hoisted himself up. He then followed the drummer back into the room.

"Freddie, Brian has been telling me a lot about you" John stated

Freddie blushed, "all good I hope"

"Yeah, everything. You sing. We are all in a band. It sounds great. I really wish I could remember" John frowned

"It's alright Deaky, you will" Roger piped up

"Yeah, I'm sure you will" Brian added

"I'll do anything to make you remember" Freddie said
