Monday, February 3, 1974.

Jade landed with the boys at London's international airport in the morning after the festival in Australia. Jade said goodbye to Freddie, Brian and John. As for Roger, he did not speak to her.Roger is hurt by everything she told him. Jade went home because she was tired of the trip and needed to sleep to restore her energy.

Throughout the day, she thought of Roger and how ungrateful he had been, really. The brunette wept, then, was sorry for what she had said. At night, after she had prepared dinner for her parents and she and she had dinner, she took the key from her car and got into the vehicle and headed for Richmond. She wants to apologize for everything she said to him.

Half an hour later, the brunette parked her car in front of the building. She got out of the vehicle. It was nine-thirty at night. Jade headed toward the doorman and commented that she would like to speak to Clare. The doorman spoke to Clare, saying that Jade would like to speak to her.

- Clare, good night. It's Jade. Please, Roger, is he home? I need to talk to him, but please tell him it's a friend of yours that's going up, because if you say I'm the one for him, now he will not talk to me, "Jade said desperately.

"Calm down, I'll help you," Clare said. "My brother is very sad, he did not eat dinner tonight, he said he's not hungry. What happened, my angel? You guys fought, did not you?

"I promise I'll explain later," Jade said. "Please let me up?"

"Of course," Clare said, and gave the porter permission.

Jade then entered the building and headed toward the floor where Clare and Roger live together. Jade sighed deeply in the elevator, for he does not know the boy's reaction, how he will act. Two minutes later, the elevator stopped on the fifth floor and Jade headed toward apartment number 510. She pressed the bell. Clare opened the door and the two of them hugged each other.

"Roger's in the bedroom playing guitar," Clare said. - Come on, make no noise, okay?

Jade nodded and the two of them headed for Roger's room. They stopped in front of the closed door and listened to Roger singing and playing guitar. He sang John Lennon's Jealous Guy.

Clare knocks softly on the door.

"Brother, can we talk?" Clare asked.

"Yes, my sister," Roger said, still playing the guitar.

"Ok brother," Clare said.

Clare looked at Jade and kissed her cheek.

"You'll come into the room and talk to my brother, good luck," Clare said quietly, looking at the young woman.

"Thank you," Jade said, smiling at her.

Clare opened the door and then the one who entered the room was Jade. Jade locked the door. Roger looked at her in confusion.

"My brother, who will talk to you now will be Jade," Clare said. "I do not know what happened between you, but she wants to talk to you. If they understand, okay? We will talk later.

Roger looked at Jade with grief.

- You can finish playing and sing Jealous Guy. I love this Lennon song, "Jade said, looking at Roger.

Roger sighed and actually did, finished singing and playing the song, as he was not interested in talking to Jade. Meanwhile, Jade watched Roger sing and play, beautifully, and her heart sped up a little as she watched him, so handsome. Roger finished singing and playing and remained silent, head down.

"Sing a song for me?" She asked for me and he looked at her. "With a little help, F rom Friends in Joe Cocker's version.

Roger looked at her sadly.

- And for what? What do you want with me? As far as I know you do not want to talk to me any more, and I do not want to talk to you either, right? After all, I'm a fake friend, is not I? Please go away and leave me alone.

Jade did not give up and sat next to him and took the guitar from his hands and laid it on Roger's bed. She looked at her handsome friend, who had a totally disheartened countenance, her blue eyes did not shine with joy, but they were worried and sad.

"You think I'm not suffering from Ryan's departure for the battlefields in Vietnam?" Roger said looking at him. "Do you think I do not suffer for it?" He is my childhood friend and I am very worried about him even before he leaves in the next few days. He asked me not to say anything to you, because he would do it, because he has the right, after all he is your boyfriend, but, you did not understand me and crucified me for it and still called me a false friend. Well, then, I'm a fake friend, so I do not know what you're doing here, it's still going away, Jade. I'm already hurt enough.

Jade looked at him sadly and touched his hands and caressed them. Roger looked at her, trying to pull her hands away, but she held on tight.

"I love you," she said, looking at the blond, and Roger's heart pounded as he said it. "I love you so much, my friend, I do not live without you. I'm very bad about everything that happened, we traveled to Australia and it was a terrible week for me, because we did not talk as I asked, but, I regretted it, Rog, remorse consumes my heart. You are very special to me and you are right in calling me ungrateful, because you were with me in many moments of my life, happy and sad times too, giving me support and affection. And I treated you badly, calling you a fake friend, but I regret it because I said that in a moment that I was very sad and confused by all the news I got from Ryan.

"The words hurt Jade," Roger said, looking at her.

"I know," she said looking at him. "I'm sorry, I did not want to hurt you, I swear. You are one of my best friends. You are an angel in my life, it is a love of person, beautiful, playful, intelligent.Please forgive me. What I said was in a moment that was very hurt.

Roger looked at her with tears in his eyes and sighed, but he remained silent.

Jade then let a tear fall on his face and made mention of getting up, as he thought the blonde would not forgive her, but Roger pulled her by the arm.

- Where do you think you're going? He asked looking at her deeply.

"I'm leaving, maybe you do not want to forgive me," she said to him and Roger put his index finger to Jade's lips and she looked at him sharply.

"Do not say anything else, my little brunette." He smiled at her.

Jade smiled at him with tears in her eyes and the two of them hugged each other tight and Jade wept in Roger's arms and he also cried and kissed Jade's head and held her in his arms.After they calmed down, Jade kissed Roger's face and pressed her face to his friend's chest. Roger hugged her tightly, not wanting to let go of her anymore.

"Sorry for everything," Jade said quietly.

"You're forgiven, angel," Roger said, kissing her hair.

"As for Ryan, I do not know if I'll forgive him," Jade said quietly to himself. "It still hurts to know he'll let me leave.

"Think of why he made that decision, we will not judge him." I'm also very sad about it, but I swear I'm trying to understand his point of view. Ryan is also suffering with his indifference. Get in touch with him, on Thursday he will leave for New York. Roger said.

"I still do not know what I'll do, Rog," she said to him. "At the moment, I just want to stay in your arms, because I feel protected.

Roger smiled at her and kissed her again on the head.

- Okay my beautiful, I'll keep you in my arms then - The boy smiled - I love you very much, Jade, just like you love me. You're a very special girl in my life. It's good that we understand each other.

"I'm afraid we'll fight again, for other things," Jade said.

"If we fight a few more times it's normal, my angel. Friends who really love each other fight and argue, for serious reasons and stupid things. It's part of life, what matters is that we will never stop loving each other, right? Roger smiled.

"Right." She smiled at him. "Combined will never stop loving us. Friends forever.

"Forever friends," Roger smiled, holding her tight.

Listening I love you from Jade was something wonderful to Roger, no matter how much I love you as a friend. He will always carry this infinite love for her in his heart, no matter how much time passes.

Then he sang With the L ittle help F rom Friends on Joe Cocker's version of Jade and they still embraced.
