Devil In Her Heart (John Lennon fanfic)

Chapter 91.

I walked into the office later than what I expected. I sat at my desk and tossed my things on my desk. I felt my stomach turn and realised I didn't take my pills. I ran to the restroom and collapsed in front of the toilet, puking my guts out. I heard the stall door open and felt someone hold my hair back.

"Lucy...what's wrong??"

I sighed and sat up. "I forgot my pills."

Andrew sighed and rubbed my back. "Come on. Maybe you should go home."

"N..no i'll be okay."

"Lucy."

"Really Andrew i'm fine."

"No you're not. Come on, I'll drive you home okay?"

I wanted to protest but I knew he was right. I flushed as he helped me up. I walked over to the sink and rinsed my mouth.

"Did you just get here?"

I nodded and grabbed my bag off my desk. "I got the interview. I'll type this up at home."

"Okay. I just want to make sure you're okay for now."

We walked over to his car and got inside. He drove me to my place and walked with me inside. I set my things down as he looked around.

"Thanks for bringing me by." I smiled.

"It's no problem. I fuckin told you to take a day off. But nobody listens to me." He shook his head.

I giggled and shook my head. "Shut up."

It was quiet for a few seconds until he spoke.

"Hey um Luce?"

"Yeah?"

"Take care of yourself okay? I um...I don't want to find out one day..." He trailed off. I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"I won't be dying anytime soon Andrew. Thanks for thinking of me though."

He smiled and nodded. "Okay then well, I'll be leaving. Call me later okay?"

"I will. Andrew??"

"Yeah?"

"Can you stay here? Just for a little while?...I don't want to be alone." I said looking down. He came over to me and sat me down on the sofa with him. I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes, thinking about mine and George's conversation earlier.

He had moved on. I know he did even though he denied it. I was happy for him. I always wanted him to be happy. But in a way, I was jealous. He told me about how dreadful Cynthia was and how she bossed John around. He told me about John's son and how cute he is. But he told me something before he left that got me thinking.

"Lucy, I know you still love John. And he loves you but...he'll hurt you again. You know it. I know it...Paul knows it. Even Ringo for christs sake. I'm not going to stop ye if you go back to him. Just know I'm here for you. We all are...especially Paul. Once you let him in again, he won't go away."

I knew he was right. John would hurt me again. Only if I let him. That's why I had to hurt him back. I had to show him he can't walk all over me anymore.

I found myself humming as Andrew stroked my hair.

"Lucy? I just want you to know that...i'm here for you."

I looked up at him. "I know."

"I mean aside from buisness. If you ever need someone to talk to...a normal person aside from rockstars." He laughed. I smiled and bit my lip.

"That's good to know. Now shut up and keep rubbing my head."

"And you just killed our moment. Nice Daniels. Very classy."

I smiled to myself as he resumed stroking my hair.

It was late in the evening as I finished typing my article. That went faster than I thought. I sighed and looked at the time.

10:35 pm.

I decided to go down to the office and get that promotion. I grabbed my things and grabbed my keys, making my way to my car.

As I walked into the office, I went straight to Andrews office and slammed my papers on his desk as he stirred his coffee, looking up at me.

"Done." I smiled.

"Already? Did you happen to catch your band on television tonight?"

I groaned and sat dramatically in the chair across from his desk.

"Fuck I forgot!"

He chuckled to himself and shook his head. "You're a terrible fan."

I watched as he looked through the pages and smiled.

"Well??" I asked eagerly. He stood up and extended his hand out.

"Well miss Daniels, looks like you'll be moving to the office next to mine. My second in command."

I smiled and jumped on him, kissing his cheek over and over again.

"Have I ever mentioned how much I love you!?" I smiled. He laughed and shook his head.

"Get the hell off me and go hump your desk instead?"

"Ha Ha." I smiled running out of the room.
