BOOK 3: I Need You

Somethings up John 7

MARIAs POV

"Where could he be?" I asked my self. 

"If I was John where would I go? Oh I'm talkin to my self!" I sat down on a bench. 

A man was coming up and I jumped up.

"Sir?"

"Yes?" he turned to me.

"Have you seen a boy. About my height. He has brown hair in an Elvis style. And he's wearing...I don't remember, but have you seen some one like that?"

The man thought for a minute. "I think I saw some one like that with a girl. They walked in to McDonalds across the street. They just got in there." he said.

"Oh thank you sir!" I shook his hand and ran across the street.

I entered the food place and saw John making out to a girl. I walked over.

"John." I said a bit frustrated.

He looked up at me and the girl looked scared.

"Sorry I didn't know he was..." she started saying.

"No it's fine. He's just my brother."

"You two look nothing a like." She smiled. "My names Julia."

"Maria." I answered. 

"What do you want any ways?" John asked.

"wondering what you've been up to John L...John." I told him.

"Just goin out with lovely Julia here." he smiled at her.

I signalled John to follow me.

"'Scuse us." I told Julia, she smiled and nodded. 

Me and John went near the children's play place. I sat in the booth pulling John with me.

"You can't fall in love with her, John!"

"Why can't I?" he said.

"You just can't!" I exclaimed.

"Why!" he yelled.

"John your in the wrong period! That's why! You can't go out with a 2000 girl! Today you'd be 71! Do you not understand?" I said.

"That old huh?"

"Yes."

JULIAs POV 

I hid behind a pillar and tried to listen. 

I couldn't believe she was saying he couldn't go out with me! He's a grown man! Well, almost.

"Now listen I can do what ever I want! I don't want you telling me what to do!" John shouted he was furious.

"Fine. But if you don't tell her about you, and if you just vanished, she'll be said. Your just...I don't know what you are, but John...never mind. I'll be seeing you...maybe." Maria got up and walked quickly out the door. I sat down and started fixing my hair.

"What happened. A lot of yelling. People were looking your way." I asked.

John sat down and sighed, putting his head on his hand.

JOHNs POV

I thought of what Maria said. It made me feel bad. What was I? She acted like I wasn't real. I just don't understand.

"Julia?" I spoke.

"Yeah-oh John we better get goin for you to talk to Sir Paul. Don't try anything." She said and we stood up. She giggled and handed me a drink.

"You know. You remind me a lot of me mum." I told her. 

She smiled at me. "do I?"

"Yeah, your...fun." I smiled. 

She giggled and put her arm around me. 

"Could we cancel that appointment? I would rather spend time with you." I said.

"I'll drive over and tell him." She got in her car and left. I sat on a bench and looked around. Interesting cars roamed the streets. And it was busy. I didnt reconized any of this. 

"Would I be alive in the 2000s? Yeah I would...wait?...or would I?...oh I'm terrible at math." I moaned and rubbed my neck. I looked across the street. I saw a sign that said cigarettes for $0.99. I got up and walked over. I went over to get a pack, then took it to the counter.

"Let me see your license." The clerk eyed me.

"I don't have one."

"Then you can't get these." she took them away.

"Since when has that been a rule?" I yelled.

"Listen kid your not 20 are you?" She asked.

I blinked. "but...stop jokin!" 

"I'm not."

"lady."

"I can call the cops."

I stared and walked away. I went over to the drinks and got two cokes. Then when she wasn't looking took some. And paid for my drinks. Then walked out and walked some distance then opened my bottle. I saw some one with a camera looking my way. I looked up and then it snapped a picture. I got up and went over to him. He quickly put his camera away and ran off.

"Hey!" I shouted and started running after him.

"Hey John!" I heard Julia yell and honk from her car.

I stopped and got in.

"That man took my picture!"

"did he?"

"Yeah, bet hes gonna report me to the police. Come ed let's get out of here!" 

She stared and pushed the speed peddle.

We went to her place and stay'd there.
