the beatles imagines

the final goodbye (john)

setting: december 8, 1980, new york

type of imagine: depressing one
****
it was a cold night and you had been to new york for the first time! you had heard great things of the big apple so you finally decided to see what it was all about for yourself.

coming from wyoming, your winters were usually long and cold so you were excited to see that kind of weather in new york. another reason why you picked the city, was because your favorite beatle stayed at the dakota. a place you had read a lot about.

you had reached the place and noticed a few people waiting outside. figuring they were also fans, you gave them a midwestern smile and made your way to a few shops.
****
later that night you were making your way back towards the dakota when you saw him. yes, john lennon!! you nearly died as you quickly took out a napkin and a pen you stole from the diner you decided to eat at.

"hello mr. lennon," you exclaimed as he looked at you, "do you mind signing this for me? it's the best i could find." you crookedly smiled as he grinned at you,

"hello darling! that's quite alright. who am i making it out to?" he smiled as you blushed a bit.

"(y/n)" you stuttered as he winked signing your name, handing you your pen back.

"is that all?" he asked gently,

"one photo please?" you asked nervously as he smiled,

"of course!" he smiled taking a picture with you.

"thank you!!" you nearly cried as he smiled turning around to get back into his building when you heard four gun shots.

you, as well as everyone else ran for safety as you heard not even a while later a woman, who you immediately knew to be yoko, screaming loudly. it scared you but it soon dawned on you that the person that was shot was john lennon. how you didn't know that meeting your idol would soon turn into the final goodbye.
