Strawberry Fields Forever

Chapter 3

I kept on running, it was freezing, i had no shoes or socks on and as i was only wearing my pyjamas, i needed to find somewhere to go. Im not sure what time it was, or even where i was.
A lad walked past me "excuse me do you know what the time is" i asked him
"2:25, you alright?" He replied
"Erm yes, where abouts am i, im looking for John Lennons home" i lied
The boy laughed "the bastard told me he was going to sleep now, just tryna get rid of me so he can spend sometime with his bird then eh?"
I laughed awkwardly "er yeah, your Johns friend?"
"Yup, Paul McCartney, John lives literally just there" he pointed at the house
"Thank you"
"Have fun" Paul winked
I quickly ran up to Johns house and knocked on the door.
After a couple of minutes the door opened and John slowly spoke "paul i told you im off to sleep, fuck off please?" He rubbed his eyes
"John?" I said
His eyes opened widely realising it was me
"Alex? What are you doing here?"
"Something happened between me and my dad, i dont know where to go"
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked
I shook my head, looking down
"Come inside then love, its freezing 'n look what your bloody wearing"
I walked inside, shivering. His house was warm and cosy, i looked around there were a few pictures on the wall, i was guessing he lived with his mum.
"You must be freezing, ill go run you a warm bath and find you some warmer clothes, you can stay here tonight, alright?" He said as we walked upstairs
"Thank you"

I stripped and got into the bath, it was warm and filled with bubbles. John was being so nice to me, he wasn't like this when he was in front of his mates.
My face was stinging a bit from where my dad had slapped me, ever since my mum died my dad has never been the same, he stopped going to work which ended up with him loosing his job, he went out drinking a lot, leaving me too look after myself, he wanted to move away to Liverpool so he could have a fresh start, it wasn't working.

I walked out of the bathroom into Johns room, where he was sat on his bed, i was still in my pyjamas.
"This is the smallest shirt I've got" he said holding up a shirt
"I haven't got any trousers that would fit but you could just wear your shorts" he said as I walked over and he passed me the shirt.
As he was passing me it he froze
"A-alex?" He stuttered
"Yeah"
"What are them cuts on your wrist from"
"My cat"
"Im not stupid, you did that to yourself, didnt you?"
Tears started to form in my eyes, i cant cry, not here, not now, not with john.
I nodded "m-my mum d-died" tears trickled down my cheeks
He got up and hugged me, i cried into his chest as he rubbed my back.
"Promise me you wont do it again" he said pulling apart
I looked up at him "i promise"
We were staring into each others eyes, he was so gorgeous, he started to lean in, i closed my eyes and felt his soft lips against mine, i kissed him back.
