Help!

4. I Saw Her Standing There

It was 8:30pm. We were getting ready for the party. "Are you sure you want to go? He might hurt you." Davy said concerned. "Yes I want to go. Besides John looked genuinely sorry so he won't hurt me" I said smiling. I grabbed my handbag and we walked out of the hotel.

It was a freezing February night. As we were walking, we passed a apartment building called 'The Dakota'. It was a beautiful old building. I was standing there admiring it when I suddenly felt dizzy. "Hey, are you alright?" Davy asked. "Yeah, I'm fine" I said as we continued walking.

We arrived at a club called 'Peppermint Lounge'. I've never been to a club besides 'The Cavern' back in Liverpool. Even then I had to sneak in cause I was underage. We walked in and Paul greeted us. "Hello" he said. "Ello Paul" Davy said. I smiled and waved. "This way guys" Paul said. We followed him to a table. John noticed me and got up. "Glad you could make it Lucy" John said. Totally ignoring my brother. John gave me a hug. I didn't want him to let go. "Who's this" a girl said. "Lucy, I would my wife Cynthia. Cynthia this is Lucy. We went to Quarry Bank together" John said. His wife? I was in love with a married man? "Nice to meet you Lucy" Cynthia said. "Nice to meet you too" I shook her hand. "Shall we dance?" Cyn asked John. Obviously trying to keep him away from me. He nodded and they went on to the dance floor. I was sitting there alone. I watched them dance for a bit and watched Davy flirt with a couple of girls. Paul and George were also taking to some girls. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see a man. He had the most gorgeous blue eyes. "Hi, I'm Richard Starkey but everyone calls me Ringo" he smiled as he shook my hand. "Hi" I said shyly. "Would you like to dance?" Ringo asked me. "Yes" I answered. He took my hand and we walked on to the dance floor.

We danced to a couple of fast songs then the disc jockey put on a slow song. I put my hands on his shoulders while he put his on my hips. Ringo smiled at me. His smile was so infectious. I couldn't help but smile. He pulled me in closer and I put my head on his shoulder. I looked to see John staring at us with jealousy. Why would he be jealous? He's got Cynthia. I was pulled out of my thoughts when Ringo whispered into my ear "You look beautiful tonight." I blushed. "Thank you."

John's POV

I saw Lucy slow dancing with Ringo. I looked over with jealousy. I looked back to Cyn then back to Lucy. I then realised I loved Lucy. But did she feel the same way about me? I doubt it.

Lucy's POV

The song ended and Ringo and me walked back to the table. So did John and Cynthia. We had a chat for quite some time. "Hey, I'm taking Sandra  back to her apartment. I see you back at the hotel" Davy said. I waved goodbye to him and Sandra and they left. I spent a couple more hours to catch up with John. But every now and then I would catch my self staring at Ringo. It was 1:30 in the morning and I decided to head back to the hotel. "May I walk you to the hotel?" Ringo asked like a gentleman. "That would be lovely" I smiled. We said goodbye to the others, we linked our arms and walked out of the club.

We were nearly back at the hotel. We started walking past 'The Dakota' when I felt dizzy again. But this time it was worse. My legs felt like jelly and I was stumbling around like I was drunk. "Are you alright?" Ringo asked concerned. "I.." I could barely say anything before I fell and hit the pavement. Everything went black. But then I herd gun shots. I looked to see John lying on the ground with blood pouring out and a lady staring at him. "John!" I screamed. Tears running down my cheeks. I woke up to find Ringo and Davy looking at me concerned. "What's wrong? You were screaming John's name" Davy said. "I had a dream. I saw John lying there dead with blood streaming out" I sobbed. "It seemed so real" I sniffed just then I felt arms around me. "It's ok. I'm alive. Don't you worry" John said. I turned around and cried into John's chest. That dream seemed so real. Was it trying to tell me something?
