A Flame In Your Heart

𝓜𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻!

Gracie's pov
"Luv, everything will be ok!"
Paul said attempting at calming me down, I haven't been home in Yonkes, liverpool holds so many memories, I can't bare looking back on.
"This'll be great! You can even meet my father!"
My eyes widened.
"Paul! He'll hate me!"
"Nonsense luv who couldn't love you. With your rosey cheeks."
He said pinching my chubby rosey cheeks.
I smiled.
"Only you love that paulie. Now we need to get going before I change my mind."
Paul nodded and took our bags.
"Where are you to love birds off to?"
John asked as he leaned against the door frame with a lollipop hanging out the side of his mouth.
"Liverpool!"
"Shut up!"
I said.
I don't want John finding anything out, but Paul's already given it away.
"Cool I'm coming."
"No your not John John, this is private business."
I said placing my palm against his chest pushing him back.
Over the month John and I had formed a funny friendship, we'll make fun of each other and mock each other 24/7 but some how we both made a mutual descion to be good friends.
"I've been planning on seeing Mimi for a while now gra gra so save a seat."
"Listen John man, you cant calm."
Paul said putting his serious face on.
"Listen paulie, I don't care. I'll come for the ride and drop off at Mimi's. Deal?"
John asked.
Paul and I exchanged looks and I pulled him back into his room shutting the door.
"Paul I can't have more people coming, this is a serious emotional trip for me."
"Babe, we'll drop him off. You said you live out of town liverpool. We can even drop him just in town. Everything is ok... and trust me it's hard to say no to a man like himself. He's got issues."
Paul said raising his voice at saying he had issues.
"I hear that princess paulie!"
We heard John Yell from the other room.
I smiled and brought my eyes to Paul's.

He placed his hand on my cheek.
"Trust me."
He said.
I rolled my eyes, he pouted his lip.
"How could I say no to that."
He smiled.
"Ok let's go—"
"Have two more seats?"
John said as Paul walked out.
George and ringo stood beside him smiling.
I sighed.
"Fine."
I groaned.
They all smiled.
We walked out, I linked arms with Paul and John linked his arm on my left side.
I rolled my eyes at his cheesiness.
-
"Move overjohn! That my ass your touching!"
George yelled as John tried making space in Paul's car which was small.
I was in front and Paul was driving.
John George and ringo in the back squirming at the tight space.
Causing me to chuckle every now and then.

Paul and I would exchange looks, making me blush every time.

I pushed all my nerves to the back of my mind.
Focusing of other things.
"So gracie I didn't know you lived in Liverpool."
George said half way through shoving a sandwich in his mouth.
"Ah, yes I live on the outskirts on a farm."
I said.
"I'm surprised we never met."
George said.
"Me to, to be honest."
"Almost seems impossible."
John mumbled placing his sun glasses on.
"John you'd be to blind to recognise me."
I said, Paul laughed along with George and ringo.
"Tut tut, we'll see about that miss woods."
John said crossing his arms, his elbow digging into ringos stomach.
Casuing Him to jump.
I smiled and looked back onto the road.
Paul smiled and placed his hand on my thigh.
"Oi no shagging in the car!"
John yelled.
I rolled my eyes and flipped him off.
"Pretty finger of yours luv, surprised paulie hasn't put a ring on it yet."
John said, I looked to Paul who didn't give any eye contact, but I could tell he was holding back a smile.

"Sweet sweet Johnny boo, you've got me all wrong. I'm a free bird."
John smiled.
"Pfft we'll see about that."
I rolled my eyes and placed my hand on Paul's lap.
He interviewed our hands.
"Like John said, we'll see about that."
Paul said.

I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"No shagging please!"
John yelled.
"This is gonna be a hell of a long drive."
I mumbled.
"Mmhm."
Paul said.
-
After we enetered liverpool, my heart sunk.
Memories flooding in of zac and I.
"Everything is going to be alright."
Paul said seeing the fact that I was overthinking things.

We dropped the lads off down town so they could see there families.

Now it was just me and Paul.
I was directing him to my house.

He told me about his child hood here.
I clung onto every word.
I smiled and laughed at the funny memories he told me.
I frowned at the sad memories,
But in the end I knew he was trying to get my mind off things.
"Ok... here we are."
Paul said.
I sunk into the car seat.
"Here we are."
I said as well.
"I change my mind let's go!—"
"No luv. You've got this. Your a strong beautiful independent woman I adore and look up to. Don't doubt your self for one second."
Paul said.
I smiled looking at the car floor.
"Hey."
He said bringing my attention to him fully.
"You've got this."
He said again.
I nodded getting up and unbuckling my seat belt getting out of the car.
Paul and I walked to the door hand in hand.
I was picturing Zac and I running around the yard as kids.
Making my eyes tear up.
We both paused at the door.
I held my hand against the door.
Remembering Zac and I, and how many times we practically ripped it down trying to get in when mother made fresh lemonade on hot summer days.

I squinted my eyes shut.
"You've got this."
Paul mumbled.

I sighed and knocked the door.
I heard familiar barks, I talk plastering a smile on my face.

The door bursted open I was basically pushed over by—
"Jesse!"
I yelled, as she licked my face.
"Gracie!"
Mother yelled jumping on me as well wrapping her arms around me so tight I could barely breathe.
"Baby!"
Father yelled running down the hall way always coming into my arms mother wrapped her arms around the two of us.
I was so disgust up in the moment I forget Paul was standing there.
"Oh this is Paul."
My parents pulled back.

My mother teared up as she inspected him.
"You look just like your father, I bet your have the personality of your mother."
She said then bringing him into a hug, in which Paul hugged back.
"Marry was a lovely woman Paul, I'm so sorry for your loss."
He smiled.
"Thank you Mrs Woods."
"Please daisy would be fine."
"Daisy."
Paul sang.
"I like it."
Mother smiled.
"Well come in!"
I nodded and we walked in.
I stopped in the hallway taking in the wooden floorboards. The many pictures of me as a baby.

I stopped at the photo of Zac and I at the creak.
"Anyway to the living room."
Mother said pulling me from the picture.

Paul and I sat on the couch mother opposite us.
Father went somewhere else.
"So I see you to have met again."
Mother said smiling.
"Again?!"
We both said in unsion.
"Yes! Paul and Mary visited me and you when I gave birth to you baby."
Paul and I had our mouth to the floor we were in such shock.
"Marry was a doll, she helped me through some tough times. And as horrible as it sounds I don't think I'd be here if it was for her."
She said looking down in shame.
"We all feel like that mum, don't worry."
I said patting her leg."
"No it's stupid really, but I was treated terribly at school luv. Marry always got me to the end. She was the light at the end of my tunnel."
Paul was crying, which made me cry as well.
This was just oh so sad.
Mother sniffled.
"I remember this one time-"
To be continued...
I made the terrible descion to listen to 'fine line' while writing this. But oh boy the next chapter with get to you loves.
Also I decided to add more of the other three lads because I wasn't Exactly adding them in. So they'll be more of a priority.
