Hello everyone… again. Now I'm writing this new story, I had this idea in my mind, with some original characters, but then I decided to change it, because that's what a beatle fan would do ;) . What had they done with our lives! I really really really hope you like this, as much as I do.
oh! And also, let's see if you notice an inside joke I made with the names of certain characters. Have a fantastic day!
It was a Wednesday, the month of August has just started when she left, very early around 5 o'clock heading towards Liverpool. When she arrived, the city had a very nice weather; the day seemed to be saying Welcome Back! to the young Amelia Darling. She had lived in Liverpool for 9 years, and then moved to Bath due to her father's job, he was an accountant, so was her mother. Even though she had lived around numbers she never liked them, History took a place in her heart because she loved stories and mysteries, and her plan was to take a course involved in history. So now she was returning to her birthplace, escaping from a life where she felt unwanted, since her parents only cared for her brother and his achievements. She was different from them, that had turned her into a quite cold and independent person. She had manners fit for a princess, that may be the reason why people thought, and why she acted like a snob; but she never cared for people, they had called her names all her life, and she was fine with that.
She arrived at her aunt and uncle's house, where she planned to stay, she knocked at the door three times, no answer, she tried again. In total darkness the door opened, as soon as she turned on the light she was welcomed by a Surprise!. Her uncle had a cake and her aunt a small gift, there was another girl, she had trouble figuring out who she was, they had no kids; it took her a minute to realize that this girl was her childhood friend, Nelly.
"I bet you don't even know who I am" she hugged her.
"Nelly! Of course I do, you stopped sending me letters" Amelia complained, she hugged her aunt and uncle "Uncle Henry! You look better, Do you really think you can stand me for a long time?" she asked them.
"Honey, I practically raised you! Of course I'm sure I can't, but I'll give my best" Her uncle said, hugging her tighter.
"Raise? You were only there to make her laugh while I changed the dippers" her aunt stated.
"Lucky you! I don't use them anymore, auntie Em" she gave a kiss to her aunt.
They had a long chat during dinner; they ate cake at the end. Nelly went home and promised to visit her for lunch. She was washing the dishes when her aunt asked:
"Are you mad at them?"
She knew what she was talking about "No, I love them. I know I'm a disappointment to them but I can't be angry because of that, well maybe a little".
"You're not, but I hope that they understand, now that you are here with us, g'night honey."
The next day she went to a library, she had sent a letter when she was in Bath, she wanted to work there, she was perfect for the library, they accepted her immediately; she dressed properly no with bright colors as most of the girls in the 60's , she had a straight haircut with no volume as the other girls. She didn't speak like a girl of 1961; she spoke as if she was living in 1861. That was an influence from her historical books.
"I'm glad you got the job, but why would you want to work there? What kind of excitement could you possibly get from there?" her friend asked.
"I don't know how to explain that, besides this may give me credits to the university" she responded, they walked a couple of blocks, she tried to remember her old neighborhood, but the truth was she didn't remember a thing from that place "Where are we going?"
"To a club, I want you to meet my boyfriend he said he'd be there"
Nelly took her hand but Amelia stopped her.
"A club? Isn't a little too early for that" she asked.
"No! The Casbah club opens at 6, but don't worry we won't stay there for a long time, he promised to take us to Albert Dock" she assured.
Even though she wasn't happy with her friend's plan she followed her. They entered to the club, fortunately for her the place wasn't crowded, it was a small club with not a lot of lights, and she felt a little claustrophobic. Nelly spotted a friend; the girls went and sat with him.
"This is my friend Amelia, and he is Danny's friend, Brett" she introduced "Where's Danny?"
"I don't know he wasn't at his house" he informed.
"I'll go outside to see if he's coming" she said and went to the door.
Amelia knew what her friend was doing, she remembered when they where 8 she sent a Valentine's card to Amelia's crush and signed for her. She was uncomfortable, with a napkin she began to clean her spot on the table, then she fixed her dress, she sat straight looking to her right, but she saw a man staring so she looked to her left trying to avoid having a conversation with Brett. But it didn't work.
"Where are you from Amelia?"
"I was living in Bath, if that is what you mean, but I was born here" she said, wanting to avoid eye contact she turned her head, again she saw that strange young man, there was no choice but to look at Brett.
"I never went to Bath" he responded.
"I have never been …" she corrected with a fake smile.
"What?" he looked at her confused "but you just said…-"
"You're not dead, you still can go" she saw he was confused "Forget it!"
"I'm going to see if Nelly found Danny, I'll be here in a minute" he said.
At least he left her alone, not a place where she wanted to be alone, but his presence had become irritating. She saw he stopped to talk to other men who were there, she understood that she had bored him, suddenly she felt a presence at her table, there was that strange young man sitting next to here.
"Excuse me sir, but that chair is taken" she informed him, he only smiled "Would you please be so kind and leave?"
"Why do you speak like that?"
"I'm afraid I don't understand, I'm simply asking you to leave" responded, leaning backwards and covering her mouth and nose, he smelled of alcohol.
"You're not in your castle princess, you better go running now to your mommy and daddy" he laughed.
"I'm terribly sorry, but today I decided not to take advices from drunken pigs, try again tomorrow"
"Well, look at here everyone! We have Princess Loretta" he started to speak with a heavy and very strange accent "Of the Isles of Rumanestcalan" he invented.
Nelly and her boyfriend Danny, had just entered when they saw the scene that boy was making, they told Brett to go and stop him.
"Just leave, man" Brett said to him, the young man remained seated "Don't bother her" he warned, this time the man stood up form the chair and turned, as Brett was asking her if she was fine, the man unexpectedly returned and kissed her cheek. Brett also had a surprise, Brett punched him; Nelly ran rapidly to grab her friend's hand and lead her to the exit, afraid that they could start a fight. Minutes later Brett caught up with them, he told them not to worry, nothing had happened, a man had stopped the fight.
"Aren't you glad I was there?" he asked her.
"Sure" she said looking at him as saying 'I could've handle it' "I told you not to go to a club, you always find the most repulsive people there"
The three of them giggled after her statement.
"Thank you! Amelia, I'm glad you think of us like that" Nelly mocked "And I'll make sure to turn you into one of us"
"She has the right to think like that" Danny hugged her girlfriend "After all look what happened today"
"You know he wouldn't do anything, he always acts like an idiot, Brett did good on punching him, someone should teach John Lennon he's not unbeatable".
"What a surprise, he has a name! " Amelia exclaimed.
"What's so surprising?" they asked her.
"I don't know, I supposed he was kind of the town drunk, you know that character who no one knows his name or where he came from, but you know he's always at a pub" she mocked.
They all laughed.
"Actually, everyone knows he's always at a pub or a club, he has a band, well-known around here"
"Oh really! And what does he play? The jug?" she mocked again.
