1970. 3 years after Jane leaving.

Julia, Juliana and Melody we're John and I flower girls at our wedding. There was still no sight of Mark Chapman over the years, maybe he's finally given up.
Jude was our ring bearer. Paul, George, Ringo and Brian were Johns best men while Linda, who is Pauls new wife, Pattie and Maureen were my best women along with my mom. I found out about 2 years ago about a long loss brother named Simon, he agreed he would walk me down the isle. Simon was older then me by a few years, he was put up for adoption when I was being born.

I wore a beautiful white wedding dress that flowed out at my hips, it was also strapless and had a white ribbon crested with diamonds laced around my waist. As Simon slowly walked me to where John was standing, he tried his best not to step on my dress. Luckily he didn't.

John started tearing up at the sight of me, everyone was in awe as me and John stood next to each other holding hands. We were a perfect match.

Father Mackenzie asked us to tell our vows. In which we did.

"John, will you take Eleanor to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?" Father Mackenzie asked John.

He smiled "forever and always, I do" I couldn't help but smile at how serious he was actually being.

Father Mackenzie turned towards me. "Eleanor, will you take John to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?" He said and started closing his book.

I smiled and nodded "I do"

John and I stared at each other and smiled. "Then I pronounce you Mr.Lennon And Mrs.Lennon, you may kiss the bride" he said and backed away from us. John lifted my veil and kissed me softly but passionately.

We turned towards the crowd as they cheered and took pictures, it was such a beautiful moment for someone to ruin. As I looked at the top loft set of seats in the church, Mark was there. Aiming a gun at us.

"John!" I yelled and pushed him out of the way, before John could get up I heard a loud bang following with piercing pain in my chest. I fell quickly to the floor as everyone started screaming frantically and running out of the church. John helped me into his lap and in his arms, I started gasping for air as I felt my breathing turn shallow.

"Penny, calm down please! Someone call an ambulance!" He shouted as he held his hand over my gun shot wound. I suddenly felt at peace, I wasn't hurting anymore and I felt much lighter.

"John, it's okay. I'm okay. Just let go John, it'll be okay. Just remember that I love you and our children-" I said and started coughing a bit of blood on my white dress. John frantically looked around the room darting his eyes at anything that could help me.

"John, nothing can save me, let's enjoy our last few moments together while we can" I said as my voice began to get quieter. He started crying and stroking my hair.

"John, love, listen to me. Death is like getting out of one car and into another" I said and started coughing even more. John leaned down and kissed my forehead "it's time to get out of this car and go into another, Penny. I love you" he said and started stroking my cheek.

I smiled at him "I love you too John" I said quiet enough to only John and I could hear. John was with me my final moments of my life. The world at I once known started turning into a blur.
