Strawberry Fields Forever

Chapter 6

Paul's pov:

I got up and went to stand at the window with Ringo and was taken by surprise when all i saw was John's arse. I let out a chuckle and felt a presence beside me, then i heard her laugh. John turned around with a grin on his face seeing us all now standing there, while Ringo and Effie where caught up in laughter i saw John shoot Effie a wink and i reached out to Effie and wrapped my arm around her showing that I'm protective over her and also hoping that John won't continue. Effie to me, is like a little sister, which is going to be awkward y'know living in a house with her and the lads, with the way that the lads already started flirting with my basically long lost baby sister y'know. I turned away and laid on her old bed with both my hands and legs spread across it. "Where's all yer stuff?" I heard Ringo ask Effie and i turned my head to the side to see them both looking down at her one single bag. "Right there." She said with her finger pointing at it and looked up to Ringo's face. "I was confused too y'know" i said as i looked from Effie to Ringo. "Sorry I'm not bringing 500 bags with me." She said jokingly and i let out a quiet chuckle as i looked up to the ceiling. "Will we leave the now?" Effie said and i lifted myself off the bed as i said. "Yeah, lets get a move on." I said rather quickly. "Ill be taking that." I said as i snatched the bag from her and excitedly walked out the door. I was over the moon that Effie will be staying with me meaning we will see each other a lot and be best friends again.

Effies pov:

We walked up the path towards the house, the door is wide open from Paul just strutting out of my old house and into his own one in a rush. Richie must have noticed me tense up. "Don't worry they won't bite." He said in a jokey voice and nudged me with his shoulder while our arms are still linked, we walked through the door and i looked around at everything. The house is very clean and is nicely decorated, as i was looking at things my eyes landed on a bed in the ground. "That would be me bed, love." John said coming up behind me moving, past me and jumping onto his bed in the hole in the ground. "Well it's distinctive for sure." I said whilst now holding eye contact with John laying down. "This is me bed." Paul said turning me around and pointing to the white bed and as i looked past Paul's open room, i see grass as a carpet? What the hell is going on here? I just looked back to Paul and shot him a smile with a nod. He walked over to a wardrobe behind his bed. "This is all yours." He said opening it and putting my bag beside it. "Okay thanks." I said as i went and made myself comfortable by sitting up against Paul's headboard on his bed not knowing what else to do. Richie and John are in their own conversation as Paul came over and basically laid on top of my legs. "Are ye alright, love." He said in a whisper. "yeah yeah, it's really nice here." I said, being genuine. "And I'm going to be working in the cafe down the street." I said and Paul's eyes lit up. "That's gear, love, y'know me and lads usually go there for lunch before our band practice." He said with a grin. "Ugh! I'll be stuck with you even more?" I said in a joking voice and ruffled his hair. "I'm glad that you're going to be living here." Paul said now laying his head down on my lap and i just looked up to the ceiling. Suddenly i felt another weight on top of me as i quickly looked straight forward to see the one and only John, I didn't even know his second name yet. "Well, this is very cosy." He said as he was laid on top of Paul, I let out a laugh whilst Paul tried to get him off of him. I looked around and found two lads, one of them being Richie and I wasn't sure of the other ones name, looking at us grinning. Finally both John and Paul got up off me and i went to introduce myself to the unknowing lad.

"Hello I'm Effie" i said as i put out my hand for him to shake. "George Harrison." He said as he flashed me his vampire like teeth while taking my hand, I'm living in a house full of lads that are all equally very attractive? How will i even cope? "Nice to meet you." I said. "You too." He said with a smirk, i let go of his hand and smiled at Richie then turned around to hide my blush. I sat back down on Paul's bed, Richie followed as he at down and squeezed next to me as we both sat against the head board again very close to each other and George went a got his guitar as he saw Paul leaning on, what i think was Johns bookshelf with a bass in his hands and John not too far away from us as he was on his own bed with a rhythm guitar, i put my head on Richards shoulder and smiled up to him as he looked down at me. I looked at George getting comfortable on the couch, which i think was my bed, with his guitar. Paul chucked a tambourine at us which Richie caught and they started playing a song which i didn't know at all but i was a really good song. I loved Johns vocals and wondered if he's the lead vocalist of the group. The lads played many different songs and it ended up being quite late and everyone decided that Paul would just make tea for all of us, with a sigh Paul rolled his eyes and put away his guitar making his way. After dinner everyone decided to go to bed and put their jammies which left me just sitting on Paul's bed looking at him picking up the dishes and walking away somewhere down stairs, i thought it was weird that there is a full kitchen underneath us, i got broken out of my thoughts as i felt someone's eyes on me. I looked around to see George near me as he was laying in his double bed turned facing to the window, i turned my head to the other side which was Johns and Richies beds to find John just laying in his hole in the floor bed, staring at me, i smiled at him and then a slight smile was beginning to show on his face. I looked up off the floor to Richies bed only to see him sleeping the other way around, with his head where his feet should be. I chuckled and Paul walked out of the kitchen and came up to his bed, i knew he didn't want to tell me to get off so i stood up as i walked over to George's bed where i saw a spare blanket at the end of his bed. He must have heard my footsteps as he turned over to look at me. "Are you sharing me bed?" He said as he sat up a bit and tilted his head. "I was just going to sleep on the couch." I said as i pointed at the couch. "Nonsense, just sleep here." He said as he patted his bed with a grin, i sat down on supposedly on my side but then stood back up straight away as i went to the wardrobe where my bag was and collected my jammies and walked over to Richies side of the house and went to the bathroom where i got change. I quickly walked out to find all the lights off so i had to make my way back to George's bed in complete darkness, suddenly i fell into Johns bed thankfully he was on his side making space beside him which was the space i fell into. "Hello stranger." John said and turned round to look at me just sitting on his bed from my fall. He started laughing which made Paul turn on the light and i let out a loud laugh wondering how on earth I managed to do that, i looked at Paul who looked confused. "I accidentally fell into John's habitat in the ground." I said as Paul started laughing as well, i got up and made my way back to George's bed, George let out a quiet chuckle, i slipped into bed still trying to stifle my laughter after what just happened. As Paul turned the light back off i looked at George who was still facing towards me on his side with his eyes now closed and i couldn't contain my blush as i felt him next to me.
