Girl

Chapter 6

Madeline's POV

I walked in front of my mirror, putting on my other earring. I had a thigh length white dress, and pretty neutral make up on. When I finished with everything I needed to get done, I looked over at Alice who was grabbing her coat.

"Ready to go?" I asked looking over to my jacket

"As I'll ever be," She smiled.

We headed out of the flat we shared and down to the end of the street where the bus stop was. That's where all the girls did their gossiping. Usually I payed no mind to it unless it was really interesting, when Alice and I walked up the conversation happening sparked my interest.

"Did you hear? The Beatles are here," One of the girls giggled

"You're joking!"

"Am not, I think they're recording this month or whatever at Abbey road studios," She boasted

As they carried on with their conversation, I listened attentively. It wasn't rare to hear about them being in England, especially not in London. Every time they'd come to town it would be buzzing all over, fans would wait hours outside the studio just to see if they could catch a glimpse of one of them.

They amazed me, I was sure if that. But I wouldn't faint at the sight of one of them. I'd probably get a bit nervous and flushed. Alice on the other hand adored all four of them, she'd be the type to faint. She talks about them constantly, she's put posters all over the house, all their albums up to date are in our record collection, plus she's got a bunch of other souvenirs. I just let her put it all up because there was no use in stopping her. I let her have her fun.

As the bus pulled up, everyone piled on and it started its way down the road. I checked my watch, it's read 7:08 pm meaning the club was probably in full swing by now. It's nice to go out to these clubs, though it's a bit difficult to take Alice anywhere like it. Those places are filled with alcohol, drugs and men looking for a quickie. Alice isn't really familiar with any of them.

"Do you think we'll get to meet them?" She asked quietly

I turned my attention from the window and looked at her, "Who?"

"The Beatles."

"I doubt it. We have an advantage in London but, it's rare we'll get to see them just out and about," I shrugged looking back out the window

"Gosh, I really hope we do. That's one of my biggest dreams," She sighs a bit dreamily and ventures off into her own thoughts.

It would be something, I'm sure. But it's also almost impossible.
