beatles big bopper buddy dead george harrison holly john lennon mccartney paul ritchie valens

On the morning of February 4th, 1959, teenage Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison wake up to the news that their rock n' roll hero and idol, Buddy Holly has died the night before in an airplane crash along with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. With Elvis Presley being drafted into the army the year before, and the adults always disapproving of the music they love so much, it seems as if there's no hope for these three rock n' roll lovers that will one day change the fate of the music world as we know it. Rest in peace, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper. Note: I'm trying not to be biased and choose Buddy Holly as my "favorite," but since I don't know if John, George or Paul liked Ritchie Valens or the Big Bopper, (Who are both very amazing musicians, especially Ritchie who I'm a huge fan of!) and I know for a fact that they absolutely adored Buddy, then I'm just going to make this mostly Buddy oriented, but their sadness is for all of them as equally as possible. And lastly, Ringo is not in this story because he wasn't a part of their band in 1959, and not until about 1962, but he met them earlier than that. I was just trying to make this as realistic as possible, so excuse me for excluding the lovely Richard Starkey. Originally published by me on Quotev.All Rights Reserved

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away - A Beatles Fanfic by And_We_All_Shine_On

At the height of Beatlemania, John Lennon had it all; Fame, fortune, and a loving wife and baby waiting at home. Why, then, does he find himself drawn into the arms of another woman? **story contains mature content** This story is loosely based around the rumors of a secret relationship between John Lennon and Alma Cogan, a British singer known as 'the girl with the laugh in her voice.' She was the highest-paid British female entertainer of the 1950s and became close with the Beatles as their fame grew. There is not a ton of information out there regarding the possible affair, but Cynthia Lennon spoke about it many, many years later. Learning about some of the details she gave made me want to explore the possibilities and add my own twist. While this story is loosely based on actual people and events, none of it should taken as anything more than pure fiction. I do not own the Beatles (no matter how hard I wish!) or their likenesses.

This Boy Will Always Love You ~Paul (discontinued) by Sarathebeatlelover

Paul McCartney, as a kid, lives next to the most beautiful, wonderful girl in the whole world, the lovely Holly Marx. But she hates him with a passion, and he doesn't know how to express his love for her. Then she moves away to New York City where Paul can't reach her. Sadly, he lets her go, losing the only girl he ever loved in this way. 10 years later and he is dating the last girl in Liverpool he wants to be dating, the not so lovely Lillian. But Paul didn't expect what happens next, Holly returns. Feelings he had to hide away take over his thoughts right when he sees her riding in the train from London to Liverpool. And he ends up doing anything he can to get with the love of his life. (That boy from Paul's POV, yes I did write the same story from a different POV but it's still good. So you should read it anyway)

Wildfire ~ George Harrison by NonoNootje

When, in autumn 1963 the Beatles move down to London to a flat on Green Street, they move across the hall from 18-year-old Charlotte O'Reilly, a girl born and bred in the upper class of Belgravia. Charlotte catches the eye of the quiet Beatle and the two begin a close friendship, dying to become more. But what will happen to the two of them when Beatlemania kicks off? Will they make it work or is the public eye to much for the young couple? And what happens when Charlotte's privileged upbringing clashes with the working class hero George is? Updated every Tuesday. I try to keep this story as historically accurate as possible. May contain strong language and mentions of graphic scenes. Read it at your own risk.

I'll Cry Instead by KGL1404

There was the mob, all reaching and grabbing at something on the ground. Several of them were screaming bloody murder (due to the excitement of the fallen Beatle or because they were being pushed and shoved was unknown). "Paul McCartney! It's him!" they shrieked in utter amazement as they ripped at his hair and his clothes.... The year is 1964, and The Beatles have made it big...maybe a little too big, for, everywhere they go, they're ambushed by fan girls. Usually, the lads from Liverpool are quicker than the crowd, but, one day, the fans happen to grab a hold of none other than The Beatles' bassist, Paul McCartney, effectively beating his body and mind to a pulp. This angst/hurt comfort story tells the tale of Paul McCartney, who has been scarred by the brutality of his attack, and his three friends, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, who are trying their best to help Paul and his paranoid state of mind. Will the three friends help Paul? Or will they only make his situation worse? If so, will Paul go so far as to quit being a Beatle? Read "I'll Cry Instead" to find out! Inspired by a story on Fanfiction.net called "Stage Fright." Do give that one a read, if you have the chance.

The Beatles Story #1: John and Paul (And...George) by NowhereFan

"Are you going to stand there like a stupid maniac or are you going to hurry up and do something maniacally stupid?" and "Put shit in their un-shit to make it shittier than our shit." Are just two lines that describe the story in which George writes a book about the 'greatest love story of all time' obviously involving his meddling in John and Paul's love life. And bringing poor Ringo into it too. Will John and Paul (and probably Ringo) kill George and spend life in prison? Or will they fall in love (probably without Ringo) and live happily ever after? Even if it is with George.

Borrowed Time: Saving John Lennon - A Beatles Fanfic by And_We_All_Shine_On

Holly DuPont spent the majority of her life wondering what things would be like if John Lennon had not died on that fateful night in December of 1980. As an adult working for the CIA, she suddenly finds herself involved in a secret project in which her lifelong wonderings become plausible. Should Holly risk her career, and more importantly her life, to travel back in time and prevent John's death? With the help of her friend and co-worker, Holly jumps back through time, placing herself in key points of John and the Beatles' lives, with the ultimate goal of having John Lennon live to see December 9, 1980 and beyond. ******** Thank you for talking the time to read my story. This is obviously a work of fiction. While many of the characters and events depicted in this story are real, there are also many that have been modified or created purely from my imagination. I do not own the Beatles or their likenesses (darn!). The first few chapters of this story are quite Beatle-less. Please power through and I promise it will be worth it. These initial chapters are there to build backstory. Comments and votes are always appreciated! I do my best to reply as quickly as possible!

Roses Are Red by Crashing_a_Jeep

George ran a hand through his hair in distress as she walked away from him, her head held high. "What do I have to do to make you admit you love me?" George's voice cracked as he called out to her. Samantha stopped in her tracks and froze for a moment. Then, she turned on her heel. Her face was set in a hard scowl. Her anger at him had only grown from his sudden and unexpected comment. "Is that what you want me to say? You want me to admit it?" "For Christ's sake yes!" George exclaimed. "Fine!" She threw her hands up into the air in exasperation. "You win, George!" Samantha laughed incredulously. "I've always loved you-you -you goddamn idiot." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Samantha Clarke moved from America to Liverpool in 1956 at fourteen years old and met four lads who were destined to become one of the most famous bands in history. George Harrison bumped into his friend Paul and a random redhead girl on his walk home from school on a cloudy day in 1957. For both of them, there was a long and winding road ahead.
