Hullo there, this is the story of how my summer vacation trip ended up changing my life completely. Not a typical love story (depends on what you think of as a "love story"); heart-break, death, romance (of course) and so much more.
Let me tell you a bit about myself before I go on. I'm 17 at the beginning of the story, a junior in high school. My hometown is Manhattan, New York. I'm into Rock 'N' Roll; Elvis, Holly, Berry, you know, all those amazing musicians. I'm about 5'5", dark brown eyes, with dark auburn hair. I'm Scottish & English. I'm Alexia Joan Mackay, and this is my story ….
It all started the winter of 1961 in Liverpool, England. I was visiting my Aunt Ella, Uncle Harry, and Cousin Bonnie. IT was winter break for me back home and I was staying to see if I possibly wanted to come back during the summer next year. It was only a few days before Christmas and Bonnie and I were walking to a small boutique to buy presents.
"So how do ye like Liverpool so far?" asked Bonnie. "Well, I've only seen the airport, your house, and this boutique … So; I'd have to say it's ok." She chuckled, "Hah, don't worry, we'll go out tonight, gonner show you the town. And ter this gear club down on Mathew Street, called The Cavern, it is. Fab band that plays there tonight, The Beatles, they are." "Aren't we a little young to be going to a club?" "Hey now, don't ye think yer cousin Bonnie 'as a few tricks up 'er sleeve?" "Uh, ok. When are we going to leave?" "Well," she said, picking up a watch. "I was thinkin' bout 7, since the band doesn't go on till 9, that we could grab a bite ter eat 'fore we 'ead out. Hey, ye think me da' will like this?" "Yeah, he'll love it." She brought it to the counter an dpaid for it while I was looking at the dress again. "Why don't ye get it? You'll look good in it. Ye can show it off at the club." "I can't, my money's for presents for you, Harry, and Ella." "You can use the money for my present ter buy it, C'mon, get it!" I took it off the rack hesitantly, "Are you sure?" "YES! Or course! Go pay for it!" She pushed me towards the counter."Heh, ok,ok!" I paid for it and we headed back home.
