Love me Tender (Stuart Sutcliffe & John Lennon) ~Rewriting this~

Chapter 15

Lucy's POV:

I pulled my hand back and instantly covered my mouth with it in shock as I heard the news.

"You both don't wanna be with me anymore? B-but why..? I mean, don't you love me anymore?"

Tears slowly started to form in my eyes and I stared at John, who seemed shocked as well. He shook his head quickly

"No, of course we won't break up with you! I'm sorry, Lucy.. I said it in the wrong way. I don't mean that we will leave you in that way"

He still nervously played with a spoon

"Our band, the Beatles, we have an offer to play in Germany and it's kinda necessary for us to become more famous. So we have to go there for half a year; or maybe longer or shorter. I wonder that Stu hasn't told you yet."

A small smile of relief appeared on my face when I heard that they only left for Germany even though it would be hard to be alone for half a year.

"John, it's okay.. We can write letters to each other  and we can think of each other every day.. You know it will be almost like it is now!"

John nodded slowly, obviously not sure if I was really alright.

I knew what he was thinking and so I tried to convince him.

"Yes, John, I'm alright. You shouldn't worry about me. Be happy about the job"

He smiled and kissed my hand, then stood up

"May I walk you home, now? I have to pack a few more things for Hamburg"

"Does that mean, you're going soon?" My voice was a little shaky and I stood up as well.

John nodded, glancing at me and watching for my reaction "Exactly.. We're going... Tomorrow"

A quiet "oh" escaped my lips and we left the cafe together.

The way home was mostly quiet and neither John nor I wanted to say something.

We kissed each other passionately before we said goodbye. I unlocked the door to Stu's and my house and stepped in.

"Stu?"

He walked to me and hugged me, smiling at me "You're home, darling!"

"Yes, I am, but I need to talk with you!" I saw that Stu was a bit scared of my words, but he lead me to the living room and we both sat down on the couch.

With a disappointed voice, I started talking

"Well, I met John today and he told me that your band can play in Germany for some time... And that you will go tomorrow... Now, I'm wondering, why didn't you say a word about it. Were you going to leave without a single word? Did you just want to disappear?"

"I.. Ugh.. I-I'm sorry, love. I was scared you could get angry with me.. I know it was wrong.. Please forgive me" Stu stuttered and gazed down at the floor.
