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

Chapter 24

Lucy's POV:

When I arrived at Mimi's house after I did some grocery shopping, Paul just came out of the driveway and greeted me quickly.

I greeted back and walked into the house.

"I'm back from the grocery shopping, the bags are in the hall!"

Those words were said to Mimi and she only mumbled a 'Thank you, Lucy' from the kitchen.

A little laugh escaped me and I headed to John's room.

"Baby, why was Paul here?"

When I turned my gaze to John, I swallowed hard. He looked like something terrible had happened.

"John? Are you alright?"

Feeling sympathy for him, I sat down beside him on the bed.

John shook his head and took my hand. "No, nothing is alright! Paul was here.. He had visited Stu.."

"And?" I raised my eyebrow at John.

"Stu isn't in good shape. Not at all. He drinks a lot and works without any rest. Please, visit him, Lucy.." John looked at me with pleading eyes.  "You're the only one who could help him at least a bit."

I shook my head determined "No, John! I'll never go there. He said he doesn't want me and I'm not in the mood to run after him!"

Suddenly I jumped up from the bed and stormed out of the room.

Stu's POV:

~one day later~

I had just finished my latest painting when I heard my door bell ring.

Why can't they all just leave me alone?! I'm fine! I don't need Paul's silly advices!

Full of sudden anger, I throw my brush away and wiped some hair out of my forehead, then I walked to the front door and opened it.

When I saw who it was, I almost tripped down the little stairs in front of the door.

"Lucy..." I couldn't help but stare at the girl in front of me. I never thought she would come to me ever again.

"Hello, Stuart." She said quietly, shyly looking at me as she continued.

"I hope I'm not bothering you... Can we please talk?"

A slow nod and I stepped to the side, so she could come in. We went to the living room and suddenly I felt so ashamed about the empty bottles of alcohol, which were standing around the little table and the couch. Lucy shouldn't see me in such a bad shape.

"Well, why are you here, Lucy?"

She cleared her throat and looked down at the ground.

"I.. I'm still so very sorry about the mistakes I made and I know that you could never forgive me.. But I like you, like you very much and I've missed you a lot... It would mean a lot to me if we could be.. Uhm friends at least.."

I thought for a while about her words and played with my hands.

"We can try to be friends.." That was all I could say at that moment.

She nodded her head and slightly smiled up at me.

"Thank you, Stu!"

Lucy hesitantly opened her arms to hug me, but pulled them away after some seconds. A little smile came to my lips and I stood up without thinking, and pulled Lucy up, embracing her friendly. She hugged back and I heard a little sigh of relief from her.
