Leave me alone, Lennon

Reaching my bedroom, I tried my best to forget all about the jerk I had met earlier. My packed bags on my bed were just calling my name, too. Slowly, I began to take out and fold my clothes into my closet, and it soon became extremely boring. And that was the end of unpacking for me.

Curiosity swept over my thoughts as I was eager to discover more of Liverpool, but then I thought of the boy.

No. Forget about him, ignore him.

And with that, I made my way, confidently opening the front door and dodging through the movers, yet again. Going the completely opposite way I had taken earlier, I had noticed there was a lot more shops and whatnot's from this end of the street.

The sky wasn't all that welcoming or sunny which in the end, I'd just get used to. The transition between Florida and Liverpool was very different. But this weather wouldn't ever stop me from enjoying my first day here.

After turning a corner or two, I reached to what looked like a slightly busy, 'Main Street'. There were a few cute little shops lined up and a local grocery store in addition. Smiling, I took in a long breath of Liverpool air. I let out a soft laugh.

To my right, I noticed a cute little shop called "Shirley's" which looked to be a record shop. Excitement filled my entire body and I noticed many teens- my age, hanging around the front.

Quickly, I walked up to the store, smiling at the few boys who had gone out for a smoke out front, and I had entered the building. Records and music in general had always been rather fascinating for me and this was just heaven. I glanced around at all the artists-new, some old artists I had enjoyed very much, and some I had never even heard of that type of music. As I turned around to look through another stack, I saw him. That boy. But this time, he wasn't alone.

Of course that pig wasn't alone!! I should've know he had a girlfriend. I secretly watched as he had his arm wrapped around the pretty girl's waist and they were in the middle of chatting with two other boys. Moments later, he leaned into her, slowly kissing which then soon got WAY out of hand. The boy's lips had been "attacking" hers and it was very unpleasant.

I went to go walk out of the shop, and I tried to sneak out with him not seeing me. Slowly, I set the record in my hands down and I started to move my feet away, As I began to lift up my foot, I tripped on a floor lying on the floor causing me to fall straight on my butt.

Oh shit.

His head broke free quickly, and immediately turned towards the noise, better known as me. His eyes shot open once he saw my face. "You." he softly mouthed, while still staring at me. Almost faster than a rocket, I jumped up brushing myself off and then I ran out of the store, completely embarrassed. A tear fell from my eye, but that didn't stop me from running down the street.

Running past a corner, my unfit self stopped to catch a breath.

I cant believe I fell...

Moments later, I heard footsteps come jogging up behind me.

Don't look back, don't look back...

The jog started to slow down and come to a complete stop right behind me. I felt my body start to shiver as I soon would have to talk to his dirty, asshole, beautiful face. I sighed.

"Are you okay, miss?" A sweet, beautiful and angelic voice asked. I turned around to my surprise to see a completely different boy staring at me with innocent eyes. I noticed he was familiar because I had seen him smoking earlier.

"i noticed you running out of the store upset, and I don't like to see pretty girls, like you sad." He smiled, making me blush. Wowy.

A huge smile had appeared on my face.

"I'm fine, thank you." I said, fidgeting with my skirt, still blushing. He winked.

I looked back up at him, with a more serious tone. "There's, uh, one thing I want to know." I slowly asked.

"Yeah?"

"Uh, whats that boy's name?" he looked confused. "I-I mean, the one who was kissing that girl in there." I looked at him, hoping he'd understand what I meant.

"Tommy..? No.." he paused. "Johnny?!?" he bursted. "You mean, John Lennon?!!?

"Well, I don't know." I softly said. "All I know is that he had a girl with him." He nodded his head.

"Yup, that's Johnny. Now, listen to me, love stay away from him. Please. He's no good. A sweet gal like you doesn't need to get hurt by a boy like him." he warned me.

"A boy like him?" I asked.

"Yeah, he hangs out with the bad group." he said. I stood there, taking in all he had said. Then I softly let out a tiny smile, letting him know I understood.

"Well, thanks." I started to turn the other way home when he interrupted.

"I'm Michael..by the way." I turned around, while smiling.

"Lauren."

And with that, I left. A little part inside of me felt that I was slowly falling for this sweet, protective Michael boy. But we had only just met and time would tell. His sweet voice and caring attitude made me very happy. I wondered if we would ever happen to cross paths again..
