My Life And Rock'n'Roll

Chapter 48 - Not Always Meant To Be

These last few weeks have been uneventful. Life has calmed down somewhat, and while
I have settled in here in England, my old life back in America still continues to haunt me.

Yoko failed in her attempt to get the footage from the BBC, and now, I have heard she is planning an interview of her own. I don't particularly care, as my lawyers have notified me they have found some abnormalities with my financial portfolio, and it appears my ex wife has been funnelling money to a secret account she didn't tell me about.

Once our divorce was final, I asked my lawyers to do an audit of my finances to see if there was anything amiss, and now, little does she know that my team have uncovered her stash.

I have to give her credit, she has taken over $40 million over the last two years, and with interest that turns out to be a decent chunk of money. Once the proof is verified, I will be taking her to court.

She truly thinks she will beat me, well, now I am back home where I should have always been, I plan to take back control, and this time, it will be for good.....

Since John's interview has aired, our lives have quieted down. Julian is doing much better, and my life is looking bright. Jim and I are doing really well, and I am starting to really enjoy my job at Harrod's.

I have met up with the girls twice since, and know John knows about Jim and I. Pattie felt bad telling him, but in truth, he was always going to find out so I am not upset with Pattie.

I appreciated her honesty in telling me, and Julian has told me his Father still asks about me. I don't understand why John cares, but Julian thinks John is upset I am in a relationship.

I can't live in the past, and even though John is back in England, I can't keep holding on to what we had. Truth is we were kids, and while I grew up, John was still the adolescent who wanted to do whatever he wanted.

I will never forget the way he treated me or our marriage, and if life has taught me anything it is that what we have is not always meant to be....

England is such a beautiful city. I have been here previously, but that was for work. I have been in the music industry since I was a teenager, and I have been blessed to have had a relationship with John Lennon.

I first met John while I was an assistant for his then wife, Yoko Ono. It was a good but hectic job, and when Yoko requested I take John to Los Angeles to give her a 'break,' I was very concerned.

As time went, I started to see another side to John I hadn't seen previously. Within three months we ended up in a relationship, and it was an important time in my life. Not only is John a musical genius, he has a heart of gold and we had so much fun together.....

I know that doesn't sound conventional, but we were together for eighteen months - the media labelled it 'The Lost Weekend,' and it was the best eighteen months of my life.....

During that time I came to meet John's first wife, Cynthia and their son, Julian. I strongly encouraged John to reach out to his son, as they had been estranged for over seven years.

Cynthia and I became friends, but John always told me to be weary fo Cynthia and her motives. She was married at the time, and John told me Cynthia tried to get him back, and that she was using Julian to do it.....

While I didn't know her that well, I took John's word for it, and was always weary of her. Cynthia told me once to keep my guard up, as sadly she didn't and Yoko pounced. I didn't think much of her words, until Yoko called for John to come home to her.

John has told me many times he loved me, and I believed what he was telling me. We were looking to find a home together, but that was shattered when John left to go back to Yoko.

I have never gotten over John, and now, seeing he and Yoko are divorced, do I feel the time is right to see if we can make it. I read his Newspaper interview, and that gave me renewed hope we do have a future together.....

The exhibition has finally finished its tenure at The Avenue, yet the tour isn't over. Two days ago, I was approached by a representative from a Gallery in Hamburg with regards to possibly showcasing the exhibition to coincide with the anniversary of The Beatles first performance there in Hamburg 23 years ago.

The money offered was astronomical, and Cynthia didn't hesitate to extend the tour. I know this will be hard for her, being such an important time in her life back then. To her credit, she has opted to be there for the unveiling, as she still acknowledges The Beatles will always be such a big part of her life - even though it is those memories which brings back all the pain John caused her all those years ago....

This is not bloody happening! Once again, John has thwarted my plans. How on Earth am I not entitled to see the full footage from the BBC? According to my inept lawyers, what they were able to get their hands on wasn't enough for me to take any legal action - this is not right, and as such, I am now giving an interview myself.....

This is about sticking it to me, well, I can give as good as I get. When I have my chance to have a say, John and everyone else will be under no illusions as to who I am.....
