Living a Double Life (McLennon)

Chapter 3

*Pauls POV*

After meeting John I got the chance to meet everyone else in the band. They were all cool but we clearly came from two different lifestyles. I was very clean and proper and they were the partying and drinking type. I don't mind though. I gave John my phone number so we could text and maybe play together sometime. I really hope we can because I miss playing my guitar. I just have to make sure I keep up with my modeling. It was July so I didn't have to worry about school. I found my dad and Mike outside of the Church and we headed home.

*John's POV*

I slung my guitar strap over my shoulder and walked over to my mates who were chatting by the piano.

"Aye John, you aren't actually planning on talking to that fairy are ya?" Stuart punched my shoulder lightly.

"What are you getting on about Sutcliffe?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "I'll talk to whoever I please."

"Well did you not just see him? You must not follow him on social media." Stuart rolled his eyes.

"Why does it matter if I have or not?" I adjusted my guitar strap.

"Because the kid is a priss. He's one of the most popular kids in school and thinks he is entitled to everything." Pete Shotton said with slight annoyance in his voice.

"You guys are too much. I'm going home. See y'all at the next practice." I turned my back to them and left the church. On my way home I smoked a cigarette and looked at the new contact in my phone. I may as well find his Instagram and choose a contact photo.

I walked in the house and closed the door behind me with my foot. Mimi was sitting on her chair and reading her book when I walked into the living area. "Oh hello John, your band did very well today." She said very casually.

It might not seem like much but that was a very good compliment coming from her. She didn't really fancy the whole "band" thing.

"Thanks Mimi" I replied before running up the stairs to my room.

I gently set my guitar down in the corner and plopped on my bed. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and went straight to Instagram. I noticed I got a new follow request. I clicked on it and noticed it was Paul.

"Well that makes it easier." I laughed to myself.

I accepted his request and started scrolling through his account. I nearly dropped my phone when I realized he was actually a pretty famous model with over 150k followers! He was one of the top teenage models in all of the UK.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of his photos. His face and hair was always perfect and he had lots of expensive clothes. He had pictures where he was in many different poses with a lot of different facial expressions. Some posts were of him with his family and some with friends and some were just photos of his food. My favorite photo was one from last week. It was a headshot of him wearing a black shirt with a green blazer over top of it and he was wearing silver circle sunglasses on the tip of his nose.

I screenshotted the photo and made it his contact picture in my phone. "Should I text him?" I thought to myself. I don't want to seem pushy or anything. I looked back at his account and saw that he had a new post. He was pretending to fan himself with his hand while sitting on a wooden crate with a white backdrop. He was wearing white pants with a white shirt and a blue jacket over it. It was a really nice outfit on him. The caption said "respect the unexpected ✨" with a bunch of hashtags under it.

It was a good picture. Quite cute. I do believe I am bisexual. No one knows though because my friends are all kind of homophobic and I think Mimi would have a stroke.

I read the comments that were starting to roll through on his post. Some people just put Emojis and some people complimented him. I decided maybe I should put a comment. I thought for a minute and started typing

"Lookin sharp 👌" - John Lennon

I posted my comment and got a reply pretty quickly.

"Thanks! Text me so I got your number, ya? Looking forward to playing soon 🎤🎸" -Paul McCartney

I didn't realize how many people actually read through the comments because I got many replies on my comment after Paul's reply. Lots of people asked me to send them his number and some people, again, just put Emojis and I ended up getting a few new followers from it.

I decided to text him, y'know, just so he has my number.

"Hey, it's John" -John

It suddenly said he read it and was typing.

"Hey! Thanks for the comment on my post! Although I'm sorry for all the notifications you must be getting now 😂" -Paul

"No it's alright"- John

We messaged for a few minutes and got to know each other. He told me he lives with his brother and his father and that he's been modeling for around 5 years. I told him that I live with my aunt Mimi and I've been playing guitar for a good few months.

He said goodnight and that he would talk to me tomorrow maybe and I couldn't help but get excited. I knew this was the start of something big
