chapter 1 | Through Chaos As It Swirls..
"Oh morning come bursting the clouds, Amen. Lift off this blindfold, let me see again. And bring back the water, let your ships roll in, in my heart, she left a hole."
I woke up to light blinding my tired eyes. The curtains were always left open, but sunlight never came in my room. Although it was a very unusual day here in Liverpool. The sun was shining, and the breeze of air didn't feel that cold like what it was before. I struggle to get up out of bed in my very exhausted state. Finally, I got up and went straight to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. My blonde hair was messed up and my green eyes were swollen from crying again last night. Mum and dad have been fighting again. I couldn't help not cry myself to sleep. This has been life at home for the past two years and I thought that I was used to it but I wasn't. My dad was a drunk and my mum is trying her best to make a living for me since I'm an only child.
After taking a bath, I got all dressed up and walked to my school. On the way I heard a voice call me. "Hey Lucy! Wait up!" As I turn my head I see my best friend Beth ran up to me. She had beautiful brown hair and shiny blue eyes. She was far more prettier than me and much more sociable as also other people noticed. "Hey, what's up?" I greeted her with a wave. "I was just wandering what you were gonna do this Friday night?" she asked. "Um, nothing real-","Good! You and I should go out to the Cavern together!", she said with a huge grin on her face. "What? Isn't that a club? But we're under aged and my parents wouldn't let me go out late at night.","Oh please, Lucy. You're acting like some goody two shoes. Have some fun for once! All you do is stay home playing with that stupid guitar of yours. Just tell them you're sleeping at my place tonight. They wouldn't bother for that reason, right?" Beth insisted. I felt like crying. If she knew what was happening around at home. My parents would hit me if they found out I was lying. And that guitar was the only thing that keeps me going. I just don't know what to do anymore. "Uh.. Okay, fine." I said. "Omg yay! We are gonna have SO much fun! I heard a band there called The Silver Beatles were playing tonight and who knows, they might look cute." Beth said and winked at me. "sigh.."
School was over before I knew it and that means, time to lie to my parents. I opened the front door of my house with my keys. "Mum? Dad?" I called them while searching if they were home. "Hi sweetie." Mum greeted. "Where's dad?","He's gone of to work." She said with a frown. "Oh..Hey, mum. Uh, so there is this project that we need to finish until monday and me and Beth were planning if I could have a sleepover at her place, so that we could make it at time.." Oh god, I am bad at this. "Sure." she responded. My eyes widened in surprise. "Thanks mum! I'll go get ready!" I quickly ran up to my room. Beth told me to that I could get ready at her house so I got some clothes and placed them inside a bag. I said my goodbye's to mum and began walking to Beth's. As soon as I arrived I rung the doorbell and the door was opened by Beth's mom. "Well hello Lucy." she greeted politely. "Hi Mrs. Ashworth." I said as she lead me into her home. "Beth is upstairs.","Okay, thanks." I smiled at her for the last time and headed up to Beth's room. "Oh thank God, you're here!" I laughed at her comment. "You should get ready now. Their gig is gonna start at 9pm and it's already 8:20. Where's your dress?". She asked. I got out my dress from the bag. It was quite old but still fit me perfectly. "Here." I handed it to her for her to check it out. "No! You're not wearing this ugly thing!" she exclaimed. "But I have nothing else to wear!" I protested. "Here, wear this." she handed me a black lacy dress that looked quite short. It had no sleeves but thin spaghetti straps. "No way am I wearing that! It's too revealing for me!" I shed out through all my insecurities. "Fine. But I tell you, If you choose that dress of yours, they'll thing you're thirteen or something. But suit yourself." She teased with a smirk. "Alright, fine. I'll wear that damn thing." I grabbed her dress angrily and walked to the bathroom to start changing. I walked out wearing her dress that made me look like some whore or something. Beth, then placed some make up on my face and made me wear a red lipstick that tasted like cherries or so. I looked at the mirror and wow was I surprised. I looked like I was 2 years older than my own age. I looked like a fucking 19-year old whore. Ugh, I feel so disgusted right now. "You look amazing Lucy!" Beth exclaimed. What the hell is she talking about. I don't even look like myself. "Ugh, whatever. Let's just go." I whined while rolling my eyes.
We finally arrived at the cavern and fortunately got in. The place was full of people and I couldn't hear a thing with that blasted music playing around which I guess were from that band Beth was talking about. And speaking of Beth.. "Beth?! Beth, where are you?!" I later noticed she was nowhere to be found through all the people around in the club. I sighed and sat in one of the bar stools and tried to get calm. I watched the band playing up in the stage. I sat their, trying to listen to what they were playing. It sounded a bit like an Elvis song. I noticed that all the band members were wearing leather jacked and leather pants and had their hair up. The band sang their last song for the night and begun getting off the stage with their guitars and other equipment. Then I faced back the table getting really bored without some entertainment and I couldn't even find Beth. Why did I even agree to go with her in the first place? I sighed loudly when a guy sat next to the stool beside me. "Ye alright luv?" I looked up at the guy and he was starring at me with a smirk on his face. He was the singer of that band that played a while a ago! "Oh, um.. yeah. Just a little bored." I answered shyly. He laughed and ordered a beer and began drinking it. While I tried to avoid eye contact. "Ey, the name's John, by the way. John Lennon." he introduced himself with a cheeky grin. He was quite the handsome man actually. Oh god. What the hell am I saying.. "Lucy Engman." I said trying to smile. "You want something to drink luv?" he asked. "No, thanks." I turned his offer down, looking away. What am I nuts? I never tried alcohol before. And my parents would kill me if I do. "What's wrong? Haven't you tried one already?" He said with a smirk. "Actually, no."."You should try some then. What's a club without the alcohol?" He handed me a beer bottle and I took it from him and tried drinking it. Just before I knew it, I already drank three bottles of beer. "Oh god, I think i'm gonna puke." I struggled trying to get out of the club. John followed me outside and we both sat on a bench nearby. He rubbed my back and helped me out while I puked on the floor. "Yeah, uh.. shouldn't have made you drink all of that alcohol.." He said while scratching his head. "Ugh! Just go and take me home!" I yelled at him angrily. "Wait, what? Seriously? Didn't think you were that kind of bird though.." He looked at me as his eyes widened. "What? I meant, like, walk me home. What the hell were you thinking?!"."Oh. Hahaha. Nevermind. Come on, i'll walk you."
We both started walking to Beth's house since with what I told mum earlier. I tried my best to avoid John on the way. I'm not that good with being around boys, so I preffered to be silent. We stayed that way until we were already outside of Beth's house. "Hey, Lucy." John called. "Yes, John?" I faced his direction. "Sorry about getting you drunk and making you puke."."Don't worry about it." I said trying to let out a small grin. "You're a really different bird. Ye know that?"."I'll take that." Different he said. What does he mean by that actually.. And then he walked off.
I walked inside Beth's house and tried to find her. She still wasn't home. Not even in her room. Where the hell could she be? I gave up and changed into a night gown. I rested on the bed, daydreaming. That John was somehow stuck in my mind. And what did he mean by different? He must hate me for being such a burden on him for puking in front of his face and for letting him walk me home but what the hell? It was his fault. Sigh.. I finally drifted into slumber and was happy. Happy for actually not crying myself to sleep for the past two years.
