Effie Gray was a 10 year old girl who was born in Liverpool but after the death of her mother she is forced move to the West of Scotland to live with her uncle William. 10 years later when she goes back to her birthplace she is unexpectedly reunited...
My first day of the job at the cafe went better than i expected, except from the fact that John kept pestering me and calling out my name to get him another drink and Paul tried to get him to go home with them but he wanted to stay. I had finished my shift and went to tidy up the last table and thats when i had saw John still sitting there waiting. "What is it?" I asked annoyed. "Some customer service this is." He stated sarcastically with a smirk and i rolled my eyes, i didn't like the way John was treating me especially this morning where we were acting like friends, I wasn't as friendly with John as i was with the other lads, he knew exactly what to do to get on my nerves. "This is my workplace, you need to respect that and leave me alone, you've crossed the line today, John, so just bugger off." I snapped at him in a rude way. "That's the most you've said to me." He stated with a grin, i rolled my eyes and stormed off into the back, my boss was still here in the back as she needed to close the shop. "Effie, excellent work today, i look forward to see what you can bring to the company." She said with a smile. "You should start to head home its getting very late." She told me as i began hanging up my apron. I had turned around to walk back to the front of the cafe. "Oh! Effie?" She called me back. "Yeah?" I answered. "Tell your boyfriend that he'll need to wait outside next time we are beginning to close." She said and got up to get the keys, i just gave her a firm nod, knowing that John had heard that. I avoided eye contact as i walked past John and straight out the shop into the darkness. "OI! Wait for me, love." He shouted as i kept my head looking down to my feet, walking at a fast pace. He had caught up to me, out of breath, and put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close to him while still walking. "Ye actually left me?" He said chuckling still out of breath. "Yeah." I answered back nonchalantly, he stopped us and turned me to face him. "That's no way to treat your boyfriend." He said with a sly smirk, i pushed his touch off of me and looked away embarrassed. "Let's just go home." I mumbled as John let out a roaring laugh, i shoved his shoulder trying to get him to stop. "You're cute when you're embarrassed." He said then covered his mouth as if he didn't mean to tell me that, i shoved him again now laughing at him and turned around hiding my smirk. So John, one of the many attractive men at the house thought i was cute? Does that mean he likes me? But he always tries to get a angry reaction out of me so he couldn't possibly, could he? I was thinking while walking with John now beside me as we walked home. "Ye smoke?" John said while pulling out a packet. "Nope" i said while i turned to look forward. "Good" i heard him say quietly beside me. When we got home we saw everyone gathered around the small table in Paul's area with a record player. "What we playing, lads." John said in a deep voice and walked over to the only empty seat left, while i walked past Paul's bed over to my closet. "Alright?" I greeted them. "Hey, y'know, you got home late." Paul said narrowing his eyes at John. "Just got off my shift." I said as i pulled out my jammies for bed. "And i found him in alleyway." I said referring to John who just rolled his eyes with a small smile on his face.
I had gotten changed and made my way to George's bed once again only to see the lads still in the same position from when i left, George got up and sat in the bed next to me. "Hi." I said to George. "Hello." He said with a grin and began to get under the covers as the other lads started going to bed, I looked over to Richie and smiled as him while i started petting the bed as i moved closer to George who was watching what i was doing. Richie got into the bed with us and i wrapped my arms around him, now laying half on him and couldn't help but notice him blushing, we stayed like that for a wee while and me, George and Richie had quiet conversations about what we did today. "Hey, Effie, i need to go to bed." He said shaking me a little and i groaned rolling off of him and landed very close to George, Richie placed a kiss on my cheek and went off to bed, I went over to Paul's bed as the light next to him was still on and i turned it off and moved his hair out the way of his face as he had now fallen asleep. I made my way back to George's bed and slipped back in next to him and he placed his head in my shoulder. "Goodnight, George." I whispered even though he was now in a deep slumber.
The next morning i had waken up to a empty house, no one was home, i had found a note that read.
The lads and i have to go meet some people and record some songs, We will see you later on tonight, probably after your work. - Paul Mccartney x P.s. John wanted to say and i quote 'Morning m'lady' and great now Ringo says 'Have a good day without us' George now says 'You need to stop hogging all the covers'.
I just rolled my eyes, I had the house to myself for the whole day, what should i do? After a few minutes of collecting my thoughts i had decided to just put on the lads band called the Beatles, i looked down to the cover and said to myself. "Why the Beatles? Please please me? Huh very weird." After listening to the whole album and dancing up and down the house, i had decided that i really loved their work but I couldn't tell them that, i knew for a fact John would take it straight to feed his ego. I had yet again used Johns library and pulled out a worn book that i could obviously see was his favourite, my eyes searched over the title 'The Walrus and the Carpenter.' It was a poem book , i began reading then i got snapped out the book as i saw Richie burst through the door. "Honey, I'm home." Said Richie, i let out a laugh as i got up to give him a hug. "Just yourself?" I asked as i noticed the shut door. "Yep, just me myself, we got through all the songs on the new album and i saw the last one never had the drums on it, so i just decided to leave for the day." He said smiling at me. "What you up to?" He asked as he went over to where i was seated on Paul's bed. "Just reading." I answered. "Listening to our music?" He said as he saw the record out of the cover. "Maybe." I said as i went back to reading the poem. "What ye think of it?" He asked looking over my facial features, i let a huff and closed the book deciding i would just tell him the truth. "I loved it." I said with a slight smile on my face, he also smiled back. "But please don't tell the lads I've listened to it?" I asked. "Alright, our secret." He said letting out a laugh at how weird the secret was. "Oh shit, I've got work." I said as i jumped off the bed and started collecting my stuff. "You coming?" I asked. "Yeah sure." He said as he grabbed his coat and we left the house rather quickly.
After a hour the cafe started to get really busy and Richie had left due to the amount of people asking for his autograph which he gave, it was now getting late and i began heading home at a quick paste in the moonlight . I reached the house and opened the door only to find that everyone was in their beds sleeping except for John who had a little light on next to him reading a book inside his hole in the ground, he looked up to see me. "Grounded." He said as he looked over to a wall which my eyes followed to where he was looking to, the clock. "Midnight." He said and tutted, i rolled my eyes and walked over to get ready for bed. I decided not to disrupt George in his sleep as i stole his spare blanket for the couch right next to where John was. I lay down on the couch looking up to the ceiling with the blanket over me. "You've oughta start thinking about getting your own bed, love." I heard John say and i felt his eyes on me, i turned the other way to show I obviously wasn't going to talk back to him. "G'night Effie." I think i heard him say but i was already falling into a deep sleep.
