I Know What It's Like To Be Dead | Beatles Fanfiction

Chapter 8

I looked up at John and couldn't say anything. He grinned and leaned against the wall while looking me up and down. "So tell me Alex, when did you become a pretty young lady?" I blushed and didn't know what to say "I ehm - does Oliver know you're here?" I couldn't think of anything else to say. He laughed. "No, he thinks I'm in the bathroom. I just wanted to see you." I noticed he licked his lips after saying that.

"Oh, okay well you saw me, bye bye now." I wanted to close the door but before I could, John pushed it back open. "Why are you that hurried, luv?" he said while stepping into my room. I panicked and tried to push him back out. "Because my brother could come out every minute, or oh I don't know, my father could." John laughed and gently pushed me to the side and walked around my room. When he saw my records he started flicking through them. He nodded and turned to me. "You've got a nice collection here, luv." he turned around and saw my guitar in the corner of my room and grinned. "Oh and a guitar? I'm impressed"

"Thanks, could you please leave now?"

John's POV
I could tell she was getting nervous. I grinned. "You're such a chicken, Alexandra." I laughed while making my way to the door. "What? I- I am not! You're just not supposed to be in my room." She practically pushed me out her room.

"Yes you are. You're scared. I bet there's never been a boy in this room before." I grinned and saw her cheeks turn red. "Oh piss off, Lennon!" She slammed the door in my face. I just stood there and grinned.

I felt rejected but at the same time she seemed like a challenge. Girls practically threw themselves at me.
She's the first one to be this stubborn.

This could turn out interesting.

Alexandra's POV
I was mad. How'd he know there's never been a boy in my room? Was it weird that there hadn't been a boy in my room yet though? I was already 17 years old after all..

I sighed and called Hannah back, she picked up immediately. "Who was at the door?" she asked. "John" I said.

It was quiet for a while before she spoke again. "What happened?"

Hannah's POV
Alex was telling me how John Lennon had walked into her room and how she shoved him out and slammed the door in his face. After she told me about the John incident she told me about this boy, a certain Paul McCartney, whom she met at school. After I hung up and told her goodbye I sighed and laid down on my bed. Why am I never that lucky?

I sat up. Maybe Alex could introduce me to John. She knows I have a huge crush on him. I sighed again and went downstairs to drink a glass of water and get ready for bed.

We'll see how this turns out.

- The next morning -

Alexandra's POV
When I woke up the next morning, I did the usual. I showered, got dressed and had breakfast. I went upstairs to get my backpack, when the doorbell rang.

"Alex! Paul is here for you!" I smiled and made my way down. Mum hugged me before I went outside, and whispered "He's cute you know." I rolled my eyes and whispered back. "Just a friend, remember? See you tonight" I hugged her goodbye and met Paul in front of my house.

"Good morning" he said cheerfully while smiling at me. I smiled back "Goodmorning, McCartney." He grinned. "I thought you'd like to take the other bus with me and me mate." I nodded "Seems fine to me. Are you going to introduce me to him?" Paul nodded "'Course!" We made our way to the bus stop and chatted until the bus came. We hopped on the bus and went to the top. "So, he gets on the bus at the next stop?" I asked Paul. He nodded "Oh, and he's a bit younger than us, but you won't notice" I smiled.

At the next stop a boy got on the bus and made his way towards us. "Aye Paul, who's the bird?" He asked, looking up and down at me. "This is Alexandra, Alex, this is George Harrison. He plays guitar too."
"You play?" George asked while smiling and sitting next to Paul. I nodded proudly. "Yeah, I know some chords, y'know"
George turned to Paul and grinned "A guitar playing bird, you got yerself a good one Paul."

Paul laughed and shook his head.

Paul's POV
"A guitar playing bird, you got yerself a good one Paul." I laughed and shook my head.

"She's just a friend, mate. Right Alex?" She smiled and nodded. We all chatted until the bus stopped in front of the school. We all hopped off and George waved us off to look for his classmates. Me and Alex stayed together.

I really liked her,as a friend. I don't think she wanted to be anything else but friends and I was fine with that.

For now.
