Strawberry Fields Forever

Chapter 5

Effies pov:

It was now three days later, I've applied for a job in a cafe near the house. Paul and i have been talking about moving arrangements, to say the least, I'm really nervous. I'm supposed to be moving in tomorrow so that my uncle can put the house up for sell on the market, all my things are packed and ready to go, i didn't have much stuff to bring over to Paul's house. So tonight my uncle and i had one last dinner together till summer time which is when i plan to visit him, as i have a place to stay now, my uncle said he would be in a hotel quite far away from here till the house actually sells. It was pretty late tonight when I decided to sit by the window to scribble in my journal and looking at the house that i was going to be moving into, the curtain was closed but there was faint light shinning through the gap, i wondered what it would be like to live with all of them and as i was staring it looked like someone had by passed the window making the light look as if it flickered, then the light was switched off. As i got up to go to bed, i put away my journal at the bottom of my bag in hopes that when i move no one will find it.

The next day i woke up fairly early and sat down to have breakfast with my uncle, as he left for work he came over to me and wrapped me in a tight hug. "Ill miss ye, hen, mind to come visit." I tried to not tear up as i hugged him back. "Ill miss you too, i promise i will and remember me when you're radio famous." I said with a slight chuckle wiping my eyes to make it look like a tear had not just threaten to spill down my cheek. When pulling away from the hug he placed a kiss on my forehead, he started collecting his work stuff also putting on his hat and said. "Stay safe, goodbye." He said half way out the door and closed the door before i got to say anything. "Goodbye." I whispered while still looking at the door he just left out of, i saw a figure through the glass of the door and a goofy chap was heard coming from the door. "Let me in." I heard the voice of Paul say in a singing melody, i smiled and looked at the mirror in the hallway, making sure it didn't look like i was a crying mess. "I can see you're standing right there." I heard Paul's muffle voice, i let out a laugh and walked forward opening the door. "Hey lamb, 'mon in." I said moving out the way with my arm pointing into the house as a welcome, he jumped through the door and raced to my room running at full speed. I shut the door, faced the way he had just sprinted in and began to follow him with a slight sigh. I walked into my room and see Paul standing there looking at my stuff. "Is that all of it?" He said confused. "Yeah, why?" I said looking from Paul to my personal belongings. "Oh y'know you're going to have plenty space." He said as he started opening my bag. "Oi!" I said as i pushed him while he was crouched down unzipping my bag, i don't want him to through my stuff, he fell backwards while grabbing me wrists also bringing me down. I lay there next to him and we both turned our heads to each other at the same time and began to burst out with laughter. "Where am i going to be sleeping." I asked after the laughter died down. "Um, y'know John's couch, i think." He said as if he had just thought of it. "John's couch?" I asked. "Yeah or ye can stay in George's bed, he's got the biggest bed out of us all." He said while he looked up to the ceiling. "Ive not met either of them yet. Won't that be weird?" I said as i also looked up to the ceiling. "Well you've met John before." He answered. "What? When?" I asked as i turned my head to face him quickly. "He said he had spoken to you while him and George where on their way home." He now turned to look at my confused face. "Oh no wait, the annoying one?" I asked as I remembered that strange lad from when i went to the shops on my first night here in Liverpool, Paul let out a laugh. "He kept following me, asking me questions." I said with a chuckle. "Well y'know you'll get to meet him later today." Paul said as he began standing and walked over to my window, i sat up and watched him. He looked as if he saw something and opened my window fully, picked a coin out of his pocket and threw it into the direction of the his window. I stood up and went to stand next to him as i saw Richie in the other house through the window pretending to be walking downstairs, making Paul and i laugh, i then signalled for Richie to come over. He nodded his head, he turned around and it looked like he was talking to someone, i turned from my window and went to sit on the bed which was going to be left here.

Richie chapped on the door, i went to greet him and he immersed me in a massive hug and also planted a kiss on my cheek which made me go bright red. All of us just went and sat in my now to be old bedroom, We all talked for awhile about random things, Richie went up the the window, chapped on it to get somebody's attention and turned to Paul. "Look at John, will ya?" He said with a chuckle , Paul walked his way over to the window and let out a laugh. I then went to the window to find John mooning the lads, i let out a loud laugh, John turned around and saw all three of us standing there and he winked in my direction. I noticed that Paul saw it because he put a arm over my shoulder while Richie and i where still caught up in laughter.

We  turned around and went away from the window. "Where's all yer stuff?" Richie asked as he looked down at my one packed bag. "Right there." I said while pointing at my bag, he looked at me and then back to my bags with a confused look on his face. "I was confused too y'know." Piped up Paul laying in a star fished position across a mattress. "Sorry I'm not bringing 500 bags with me." I said sarcastically and laughed. "Will we leave the now?" I asked. "Yeah, lets get a move on." Paul said rising up from the bed. "Ill be taking that." He said as he grabbed my bag from me. "Thank you i guess." I said as he walked through the bedroom door with purpose, i let out a laugh and turned to Richie. "M'lady." He said while bowing then held out his arm so i could link my arm with him. "Very well sir, lets not wait for the grass to grow." I said in a mocked English accent, i linked my arm with him and couldn't hide the blush which rushed to my cheeks by only touching him. Richie must've noticed me blushing and he turned his head to the side and placed a kiss to my cheek then let out a small laugh and we started making our way over to their house.
