Anna Gallagher is watching her world crumble from underneath her. Her father has been made unemployed, her family has been forced to move to the poorest part of town, and the future appears bleak even at the best of times. However, in the midst of this misery lies a single ray of hope for Anna - she has been recommended to attend the Liverpool Institute! This seminal moment paves the way for an incredible series of events that forms Anna's newfound optimistic attitude towards life and an urgency for living life as everyone should - on the edge! This extraordinary story began with a boy, and that boy would be Paul McCartney. NOTE: Although I am trying hard to be historically accurate and checking my sources, some things might be slightly off, and I do apologise for that, but I think that for the most part, it's pretty accurate. Also, some things are deliberately altered/adapted for the sake of description, pathetic fallacy, etc, e.g. Liverpool Institute students actually did wear uniforms, but here, they don't, etc.

McCartney's Pizzeria. Known for their quick, exceptional service, their appetizing pies, and their friendly, family oriented atmosphere. It was the number-one pizza shop in town. Despite the fact that his business was thriving, Mr. Paul McCartney, the owner of the shop, has been seeing decline in himself recently. The death of his best friend and his first wife both occurred in a matter of less than two years, definitely taking a toll on Mr. McCartney's well being. When seventeen-year-old Daniela Scandone walks into the pizza parlor one day with a desperate need for a job but a complete lack of experience, Mr. McCartney feels as if he is going to blow his final fuse. However, something about this young girl intrigues him greatly, and he decides to hire her. Was Paul's decision to hire Daniela setting him up for a complete nightmare? That's what he thought -- at first. Unsaid feelings and mutual attraction burden both of them sooner than later. Will Mr. McCartney and Daniela go from a boss-employee relationship to friends, or maybe even lovers? Neither little Daniela nor Mr. McCartney thought it would be a reality. But Mr. McCartney would eventually find that what he thought was the biggest mistake he's ever made was actually one of the best choices he's made in his life. He needed Daniela, and Daniela needed him. But how much would the two of them be able to get away with? *** author's note: in this story (when their romantic/sexual relationship begins), paul is 40 years old and the OC, daniela, is 17 years old. where i am from, their relationship would be considered legal, however highly questionable. if you are not comfortable with such an age difference between two people, please do not read this story. also, please be aware that this story may be very sexually explicit at times (may include daddy kink). reader discretion is advised.
