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

Chapter 25 (Final Chapter)

Lucy's POV:

Stu and I had a rather meaningless, but funny conversation for the whole afternoon and he even walked me home. It was getting better with us and I was happy we weren't mad at each other anymore.

But another fact crept into my head. I slowly realised that I loved Stu. My heart still fully belonged to him and not to John. There was only one way for us all to get happy: I had to talk to John. We couldn't hold our relationship even though I was scared of breaking his heart.

When John came home from the Cavern Club late at night, I was still awake and sat on the bed.

John seemed surprised that I wasn't asleep yet.

"Lucy, hey, my love" He bent down to kiss my forehead, but I flinched and stood up.

"Hey, John. Erm.. I have to talk to you. Why don't you sit down?"

Now he was the one sitting on the bed and I wandered around in his room.

"I.. I know you love me and I do too.. You're really the cutest boyfriend, I could ask for but.."

I took a deep breath before I finally told John what's up.

"The thing is I love you, but only as a good friend. Stu is my only true love and I want our relationship to come to an end."

I sighed and was afraid to look at John. The silence, which slowly built in the room, was unbearable.

"It's okay, Lucy. To be honest-I was already guessing you would figure out your true feelings.. But let's stay at least friends.." He looked up at me with sad eyes, which made me feel bad but I only nodded. Soon after, John smiled a little and pulled me into a friendly hug.

~one day later~

I was on my way to Stu's house, my heart started beating faster the nearer I came. I could squeal in excitement about what would maybe - or better said, hopefully- happen.

Strangely Stu was already awaiting me at the gate with a huge smile on his lips.

I ran towards him and looked in his eyes.

"Stu, I thought about it all. Believe me, I still love you like on our first day and I wish we could be together again. Can you ever forgive me?"

At the same moment when I looked down, blushing dark red, Stuart took my hands in his and said softly.

"You made a big mistake, Lucy, but I have to forgive you since I can't live without you. I love you so much! But what about John, is he okay with it..?"

His voice was a little shaky and uncertain.

My gaze wandered up to his eyes and I smiled widely, nodding my head softly. Stuart immediately started to smile as well and leaned closer till his lips were touching mine. It was a tender yet intense kiss, we shared. And it was incredible, it was feeling so right.

~~~~~~~~

John was sad in the first weeks after Stu and I began dating again. It wasn't easy for him at all but we three became very close friends and Paul became a good friend, too.

After some time John got happier. He had met a lovely girl, whom he truly loved with all his heart. Her name was Cynthia.

From the day on when Cyn and John confessed their love for each other, everything was perfectly fine. Stu and I were happy, and John and Cynthia were happy as well.

Life couldn't get any better.
