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

Chapter 10

Hannah's POV
Shit, he was here. I got up and checked myself in the mirror. Okay, good.
"Han, we have to act natural, okay?" I walked back to the bed and nodded. "Yeah okay."

I heard footsteps on the stairs and decided to check if it was really him. I opened the door and peeked around the corner. There he was, and he looked so good. John was a real teddy boy, not like those wanna be teddy boys at school.

I stared at John, and when he saw me he smiled. I got back inside and closed the door as fast as I could. Oh my God.
"Alex" I hissed

"He fucking smiled at me" I said with a huge grin on my face.

John's POV
Me and Oliver were listening to some records when I decided to meet the new bird I saw in Alex' room.

"Oi mate, I have to use the bathroom."

"Sure, y'know where it is" Oliver replied without looking up. I got up from the floor and walked out of Oliver's room, and closed the door. I walked to Alexandra's room and knocked on the door. I leaned against the entrance and waited for someone to open up. I heard some whispering and someone stumbling to the door.

It was Alex, I smiled "Well hello beautiful" she rolled her eyes. "What do you want?" I saw the girl in her room, short brown hair, an amazing figure, sitting on the bed with her legs crossed. She was wearing a rather short nightdress. I grinned. "Who's your friend then?" Alex made a gesture for me to come in so I stepped into the room walked towards the girl.

"John this is -"

I sat next to the girl and cut Alexandra off "You're beautiful." I said while looking at her with my nicest smile. The girl blushed and giggled "Actually my name's Hannah."

"Oh, well nice to meet you Hannah, luv. I'm John Lennon" I said, grinning at her.

Alexandra's POV
I rolled my eyes and sat on the chair of my desk, observing the two while they were talking. I don't know why, but somewhere I felt some kind of jealousy when I saw them laughing and talking. I was supposed to 'hate' John, right? I mean, he's my brother's best friend, I can't like him.

My thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell. After a short minute, I heard my mum call me downstairs. "Alex, someone's here for you!"

I got up and walked out of the room, not even paying attention to Hannah and John. I got downstairs and made my way to the front door. It was Paul. I smiled and hugged him "Paul! what're you doing here?" He grinned, and looked me up and down. "aren't you cold, in that dress?"

I looked down. Shit, I didn't realize I was still wearing that short nightdress. I playfully hit his arm. "Shut up, I didn't expect anyone coming around now." I grinned. He smiled and continued "Well, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to come over for dinner Friday"

I smiled "Yes, of course." Paul smiled from ear to ear "Great, ehm, I'll pick you up at 7, sounds good?" I nodded and gave him a hug goodbye. "See ya!"

He waved me off and made his way back home. I smiled, closed the door and sighed, he's such a nice guy.

Hannah's POV
When the doorbell rang, Alex got up and went downstairs without saying anything. Me and John just shrugged it off and continued our conversation. He was such a nice guy, and funny and beautiful and just perfect. "You know, you're really pretty Hannah" he said, grabbing my hand. I blushed

"Well, you're not too bad yourself John" He then slowly inched himself closer to me, and before I knew it, his lips were on mine. First he was kissing me softly, barely touching my lips, but as the kiss got longer, it became more passionate. At this point my hands were playing with his hair and his hands were all over my body. When the kiss got really intense, we heard the door open.

We both pulled away and looked up to see Alex standing there.

Alexandra's POV
I couldn't believe what was happening. They were making out on my bed!

I looked at John and back to Hannah, took a deep breath and walked out of the room again, closing the door behind me. What was happening? Was I jealous? Why? I should be happy, my best friends' crush was kissing her! I shook my head and put on a random pair of trousers and a random jumper that were lying on my bathroom floor.

I got Midnight's leash and took her out for a walk. I needed some fresh air.

John's POV
We only talked for ten minutes, but we really hit it off. And after those ten minutes me and Hannah were already kissing. I turned to Hannah when Alex stormed out of the room. "I really like you. I'd like to take you out, is that alright with you?" Hannah nodded and smiled a little smile. "Of course, when?"

"Friday? I'll pick you up at your school, and we can spend the rest of the day together" I suggested. Hannah nodded and gave me a kiss on my cheek. I grinned. "Right, I'll see you then? I'm gonna look for Alex now." I got up and went to Oliver's room. "Mate I'll see you tomorrow. gotta run" he nodded and waved me off.

I went downstairs, said goodbye to mister and misses Jones and went outside to look for Alex.

Alexandra's POV
After walking around with Midnight, I decided to sit down on a bench on the square a few blocks away. There weren't that much people out now because it was quite late already. Which was good. Sometimes I liked being alone.

The image of John and Hannah on my bed just kept flashing back. First he tries to get in my room to flirt with me, I reject him and before I know it his tongue's down my best friend's throat. In the back of my mind, a little voice kept repeating the same sentence

"I want John Lennon"

I shook my head. "C'mon Alex don't be silly, you can't fall for this guy." I thought. My thoughts got interrupted by someone who walked towards the bench and sat close to me. "What's the matter, luv?" the person said. I looked up and it was John. I looked away and said in a cold voice "Nothing. Why're you here?" He shrugged. "I couldn't just let you run off like that, could I?"

"Yes you could." I said back while I picked up Midnight from the ground and held her in my arms. John shook his head "I can't leave you all upset like this" I rolled my eyes and faced him "I just can't believe how you were trying to make a move on me, just yesterday and now my best friend's here, I'm gone for minutes, and your tongue's practically down her throat when I return."
John just stared at me for a while when I was done. He then grinned and whispered "You're jealous, aren't you? But you rejected me, yesterday, remember?"

My jaw dropped "Yeah, I did, because I don't like you, and I'm n-" I got cut off by him. His lips were on mine. I was almost giving in, but pushed him away and stared at him.
"Hannah would be upset if she saw this" I stated. John grinned "She doesn't need to know, does she?" he said nonchalantly while petting Midnight's head.

I got up. "Look, she likes you a lot and I don't want to be a terrible friend and break her heart" John put his hands on my waist and pulled me on his lap. He kissed my cheek "But you liked it, didn't you?"

I just blushed and shook my head. "Just - don't tell her. Don't tell anybody,okay?" he smiled "Of course I won't." He leaned in and kissed me again.
"Would you stop kissing me? Hann-" John cut me off - again "Alex, Hannah isn't here, she doesn't need to know. Besides, it's not like I'm shagging you, am I?"

I shrugged and mumbled "I guess you're right"

After a few minutes of cuddling and kissing, I decided to go home.

I got up "I should go. Midnight is probably cold" I said before kissing the dog's head. John nodded and got up.

John's POV
I grabbed Alex' hand and walked her home. I gave her a kiss on her cheek and went back to Mendips, Mimi was probably wondering where I was. When I got home I went upstairs and flopped on my bed. I sighed and thought about what happened today.

Hannah was a nice girl. I'd love to know her better and get on with her. But Alex - I didn't know what it was about her, but I felt like I should be close to her.

I didn't know what to do. I liked both these girls, but I knew it would be impossible to start a relationship with either one of them if I didn't sort out my feelings first.
