This Boy | j.l. [complete]

Chapter 13

      I walked cautiously behind John into the bar. We all sat down and I did my best not to be seen. John noticed my nervousness, meeting it with his naturally cocky and confident look of his own. Tonight was either going to end up good, or bad.

"How do you feel?" John asked

"Like I'm gonna vomit," I answered, John took my hand and kissed my cheek softly

"How do you think Will'll react?" Paul asked

"Harshly." I sighed

"I think, you should just tell him off," Pete spoke

"That'll make things worse," George added

"I wish Stu was here, he'd know what to do." John frowned

"Well Stu is in Germany, this had to happen eventually," Paul shrugged

"This place is loud," George butted in

"Good." John scowled, knowing he didn't plan on keeping quiet if Will decided to confront him.

"Hold your breath," Paul said quickly, looking at the door

Larry and Will walked in with straight confidence. Suits done up well and some girls looking flirtatiously at them. I sunk lower in my seat as Will struck his gaze over here. Our eyes met for a split second and I thought I saw a smile, but his face twisted into an expression I feared more then I thought I would.

"Oh boy." Pete rolled his eyes as Will and Larry walked up

"What exactly do you think you're doing?" Will asked sharply, directed to me

"Whatever the bloody hell she chooses," John spat back

"Will—" Paul started

"Shut it McCartney," Will growled

"Don't tell me what to do," Paul argued

"Will," I spoke

"What?"

I took a deep breath, without warning I couldn't stop myself from blurting out exactly what I've been meaning to say for months.

"John and I have been dating for five months, I don't care if you don't like it or if you want to kick me out of the band, you're gonna have to deal with it either way." I spoke keeping my voice from breaking

"You're fucking joking," Will scoffed

"No." I said bluntly

"Keep it cool Will, she should be able to date who she chooses," Larry spoke, shrugging his shoulders

"Not if its him," Will protested, his eyes darting to Larry 

"Well guess what? I already am," I stood up and stormed out of the bar, my patience had ran out at this point.

I started my way down the street and the boys followed close behind. They caught up to me as I started my way through a short cut down an alley, an easier way home.

"Listen Lennon!" Will yelled

"What?" John spat getting closer to Will

"This shouldn't be a thing, you should've stayed in your fucking territory," Will spat, slapping John who's head whipped to the side in which he took a short breather, looking as if he was thinking. Then he slowly lifted his eyes to Will with a twisted kind of expression, not hesitating to punch Will square in the jaw.

Will fell on the ground and Larry went to his aid, John turned to me and the lads with the same expression and started walking towards us. I looked to Will and Larry, then back to John who was now waiting for me to come with him. But could I? My head began spinning, all my thoughts piling together into one — this decision might just ruin everything.
