Hey guys! :) This is my first fan-fiction about The Beatles in English. I hope you'll like it. Just so you'll know, I don't speak English since I was little, I just learned it couple years ago, so don't go hard on me on grammar & phrases errors please :3 And remember this is a fiction, so there may be some illogical things, it's just for the story :) Enjoy! :D Don't forget to tell me what you think of it :)
Chapter 1 – Ask Me Why
It was night. I think it was around 11 pm. I'd been inside this office for 3 hours. They were asking me questions. Lots of questions. I don't think I've ever been asked so many questions in my entire life. Questions about my dad, about my mom, about the house, about what were we doing before it happened. I never thought it would end.
There walks Brian, Brian Epstein, a close friend to my parents, who I thought was really sweet. Sometimes when he came over, he used to talk a lot about a famous band he managed called "The Beatles". He always talked about them in a very good way. Apparently he lives with them. It's the only way I've ever heard about them. Our family wasn't exactly the TV/new/music kind of people...
He came in, kissed me on my cheeks and asked me if everything was okay. They asked me to wait in the waiting room while they were talking to Brian. People were getting out of offices looking at me in a very weird way, like I didn't belong here. I just grabbed a magazine and pretended to read, so I wouldn't have to meet their looks. But I didn't read. I couldn't. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't even think. The memories were haunting me. Those painful screams, I could still hear them. They were everywhere, following me.
"Lilly!" said Brian, saving me from my thoughts, "come here, please, we'd like to talk to you"
I went it. They sat me down next to Brian, behind a desk. The room was cold, the atmosphere was sinister.
"Lilly, we know and understand how traumatized you are, and we really think, given the circumstances, that Brian might be able to help you"
I didn't say anything. I just nodded my head along to let them know that I understood.
"We especially think that the presence of 4 adorable young men might be very good for you too. Your parents were always very positive about Brian, so I guess we can trust him with you"
I have to admit that the idea of living with Brian wasn't so repelling; he's a very cool guy. I was just hoping that these 4 adorable young men were in fact, adorable. I guess I was going to find that out soon, since I was going there right after this meeting. After we talked, legal stuff and everything, we left the office. We took my stuff, well, what was left of my stuff, put it in Brian's car and took off. He said it would be a long trip, approximately 4 hours long, depending on the traffic. He sensed that I was nervous.
"It's going to be okay," he said, breaking the deep silence we were into, "you're really gonna like these four lads. Their names are John, Paul, George and Ringo. They are lovely men; otherwise I would've never agreed to be their manager. John's kind of a trouble-maker, but, don't worry, I think I can manage to keep an eye on him"
I laughed, "What about Paul, George and Ringo? What are they like?"
"Paul's the charmer of the band, he's kind, caring, but sometimes he can be very bossy. George is the sweet one, the quiet one mostly, he's funny, he's always hungry, but also caring. Sometimes he can be very sarcastic. Ringo has a great heart, he's very funny too, and a jet-setter, he loves to travel and stay up late, but that'll be a problem for him this year"
"Why will it be a problem?"
"I made them take a vacation from touring and travelling around the world, before they get out of line and start doing nasty stuff. They're going to stay here for 2 years. And plus, that'll give them the occasion to take care of you, I'm sure they're going to like you, too"
"Let's hope so"
"I'm sure they will. Now get some rest, we have a long way ahead of us"
4 hours later. It was around 4 am.
I felt something on my shoulder; it was Brian waking me up. I had been sleeping the whole trip; I was surprised when he told me it was 4 hours. It didn't seem this long. He took some of my baggage, I did too, and we got in. A tall, handsome guy was holding the door open, I looked at him shyly, he smiled at me, I smiled at him and went it, and I could feel my face blushing. He was simply gorgeous. And he has the most amazing smile. He came up behind me.
"Hello there" he lied on a suitcase, "you must be Lilly"
"Yes, I am, and you must be…"
"Paul. I'm Paul. Paul McCartney. Nice to meet you"
We shook hands.
"Nice to meet you too, Paul"
"The others went out, they're getting some food. You already know Brian. He's a cool guy"
"Yeah, he's really great"
"I think it was really sweet of him to bring you here, and it will be my greatest pleasure to make you feel comfortable"
"Thank you very much" I told him while smiling
"Paul! Could you come and help me with something, please?"
"I'll be right there! I'll be back, Lilly"
He went upstairs. He was really gorgeous. How could I have never heard of him before? He seems like such a nice guy, like Brian described him in the car 'kind, caring' … He made me forget everything that was bothering me these last few days. Those voices that were constantly haunting me, I couldn't hear them when he was with me. It's magical. Everything about him is great. Could I be…?
I hope you liked the first chapter! I know The Beatles didn't really have such an important role in this one, but they will in the second chapter. Please let me know what you think :)
