But 1960 was a whole different story. The band was now John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best. The line up it would be for a while, one of the most famous lineups in music history. I stayed with my job but i also supported the band. They got the oppoetunity to go to Hamburg and i took up the oppertunity to go with them.
Before we went we all gathered at Johns house, but not about the tour. There were banners round the house saying will you marry me on. I looked round the house and then to Stuart who was wearing a suit. He took my hand and led me into the living room where John was close to breaking the record player.
"This wont work, ive used it so many times before" John moaned
"Just forget it" George replied
Finally John sorted it and it came blasting out with Elvis Presley. Stuart held onto one of my hands with his.
"Rosalind Smith, no words can describe my love for you. You are beautiful in every way possible. I cant imagine life without you, you mean everything to me, everything. I have never stopped loving you and never will. I will always stand by your side, through everything" Stuart began
He shot John a look to tell him to turn down the music. Pete handed Stuart a small black box. I knew what was coming but i didnt know what to say. Stuart got down on one knee and opened the box and held it towards me. There was an actual gold ring with a real stunning diamond inside.
"So Rosalind, will you marry me?" Stuart asked
"Yes" I replied realising i was sobbing
Everyone else celebrated while Stuart put the ring on my finger. He wrapped his arms around my waist while clambering up. His lips met mine in a long passionate kiss. I had never felt happier then in that moment. But Hamburg was a different story.
When we got to Hamburg no one knew of the guys, but they soon would. Me and Pete were worried about the other four and what was going to happen. The two of us could sence something was wrong. I sat alone in the hotel room with Pete. We had to share on big room and the others were out.
"Somethings off with them" Pete finally said from the book he was reading
I realised he wasnt actually reading because he hadnt flipped a page in the hour that he had been reading.
"Yeah, Stuarts seeming more distant then ever and George seems over excited" I agreed
I looked to the walls of the dingy hotel room. You couldnt even call it that though. We didnt have anywhere really to stay so we were in a grotty basement. Then John and Paul came stumbling in, clearly drunk.
"Wheres Stuart?" I asked
"At the shops" John replied
"Wheres George?" Pete asked
"With some bird" Paul replied
"I thought she was a prostitute" John added
The two looked at each other and shrugged before making their way over to a bed. Then George came in with this girl. The two were giggling and having fun. They fell onto Georges bed so i clambered up onto Johns, which was a bunk. I sat there and watched George and the girl. They ended up under the duvet doing things so thats when i left. John followed me, suddenly sober.
"Ros are you okay?" John asked following me up to the lobby
"I want to know exactly where Stu is, i dont trust him on his own" I replied
"In truth no one knows where he went. He went for a walk with Astrid Kitcherr" John said as we left into the fresh air
Since we got here he never shut up about Astrid, Stuart i mean, and it worried me. As we turned the corner down an alley i saw somthing i never expected to see. Stuart and Astrid were kissing. I shoved John back out of the alley and lent up against the wall. I began heavy breathing as John held onto my hands.
"Calm down" John said
"I cant when i just caught my fiance kissing a girl hes not shut up about for the past 2 days" I replied
Stuart then rounded the corner before freezing.
"Rosalind im so sorry, that was nothing" Stuart said "Please forgive me"
I didnt say anything, instead i just turned and walked away.
3rd person:
John was left standing there with Stuart. Astrid had, most probably, gone home but John didnt dream of moving from the spot. He reached out and grabbed Stuarts collar tight.
"Dont ever cheat on her again, she has never done anything to deserve it" John scolded
"I just want her to forgive me" Stuart replied
"Your going to have to do something to make it up to her" John said before walking off
Stuart did the first thing he could think of and went to the music shop.
Rosalinds pov:
As i got back to the hotel i ran down to the basement. I sat on Johns bed trying to not cry as Pete and Paul got entertained by the show going on in Georges bed. I ignored the two love birds and thought about my own love life. I forced myself not to cry as John entered. He came and sat next to me, wrapping his arm around me.
"It will all be okay" John comforted
"But it feels like hes leaving us" I began sobbing
"Us?" John questioned
"Yes us" I replied looking to him
His eyebrow raised.
"Have you two been doing something a little naughty?"
"John were engaged, besides Stuarts older then you and im the year younger" I protested "Its not that bad"
"How long ago did you two decide this?"
"Oh we didnt decide it, we were drunk one night"
"Whats this?" Paul asked jumping onto the bed in front of me
"Rosalinds pregnant" John replied before i could say anything
"Thats amazing" Paul congratulated hugging me
Georges head then popped out from under the duvet. He looked to us without saying anything to the girl.
"Did i just hear that Rosalinds pregnant?" he asked
"Yes" I replied
He jumped up and ran for me, still fully naked. I covered my eyes as he came to hug me.
"Can you all keep it quiet, Stuart doesnt know?" I asked
"Okay" all four chorused
The girl then grabbed her clothes and left. We ended up sat on the floor chatting.
"Man that girls good" George said
"I thought she was a prostitute?" John asked
"Oh sugar" George replied, a string of swear words soon following
Then Stuart entered carrying a big box. It had clearly already been opened and taoed back together.
"Rosalind i want to make up for what i did so i bought you something" Stuart said placing it down
I clambered up and walked over to it. John threw my some scissors which i managed to catch. I began opening it, the glimpse of tuning pegs made my heart skip a beat. I carried on opening it, revealing a beautiful knew accoustic guitar inside. But that wasnt it. It had not only Stuarts signature on but Elvis Presleys too, along with some other big rock and roll stars from the 50s. As i took it out of the box i was going strait to tuning it. Once it was in tune i played a little of Raunchy before placing it down. I ran into Stuarts arms and hugged him tight.
"I forgive you" I said
Then i noticed something else, his hair had changed. It was now a mop top as the Germans call it. The others began poking fun at him for it, i just knewthey would get ones at some point.
"Stuart i want to tell you something" I said as the other four were signing my guitar, they inisted on it
"Go on" Stuart urged
"Were having a child" I said really excitidly
His arms wrapped around me waist as my legs wrapped around his bum.
