Well, here is my very first Fanfic for you guys, this is chapter one of Real Love! I hope you all enjoy!
Disclaimer: (sadly) I do not own the Beatles. ): I only own Kat.
This is it. This is the day that I have been dreading. Why does everything unfair have to happen to me? Right when everything was going right, my life gets flipped upside down. My mother and I are in the car, driving away from the place I call home. Goodbye home, goodbye friends, goodbye America. I think as I look through the back windshield of the car, my house disappearing as we drive further and further away from happiness.
"Katherine, it'll be alright. I know you will make good friends in Liverpool.", my mother says to me.
I just shrug my shoulders and look down into my lap, twiddling my thumbs together.
"Making friends isn't what im worried about, mom." I say to her without emotion.
I'm not the type of person that likes change. I've lived in the small town of Clayton, upstate New York my entire life. Now, I have to move to Liverpool, England. I mean, how much bigger of a change can a 16 year old girl get? Oh yeah, leaving my family behind too. It's just me and my mom leaving. My parents just got divorced and my mom said she wanted to take me with her to 'try new things.' But when she said she wants me to try new things when I was growing up, it was about eating brocolli. Not moving to a different country. I'll be sure to never tell my kids to try new things someday, thanks mom.
"I just don't understand why you had to get in a relationship with someone that lives on the other side of the world...", I mumble to my mother with a hint of annoyence in my tone.
"Well, when you find someone that makes you happy and you know can provide your family with a good life, you take the chance. Trust me sweetie, it'll be a good experience, I promise. Besides, aren't you excited to get two new step brothers?" I just groan.
I tried pushing that part to the back of my head. I've always been the only child, now i get two new brothers. It's going to be hectic.
As we board the airplane, I make sure that my first goal is going to be getting a good nap in me. I load my carry on bag into the cuppboard above my head, and sit in the stiff airplane chair. Thank god I brought a pillow, I thought to myself. I pull my blonde hair into a messy bun onto the top of my head and position my pillow into the most comfy position that I possibly can get it, and dose off into a deep slumber.
"Katherine, Katherine honey, it's time to get up. You've been asleep for hours." My mother says to me as shes shaking me awake.
I have no plans on opening my eyes anytime soon.
"Mom, we still have time, let me sleep more..", I say as i turn towards my little window with my eyes still sealed tight.
"Honey, you have to get up. We landed. And what kind of mother would I be if I left you sleeping on a plane?" My mom joked.
"Fine, fine, I'm up, I'm up." I say as I rub my eyes. I look at my hands and groan.
I forgot I put makeup on earlier, so now I have black eyeliner all over my fingers, and all over my face probably, too.
"Here sweetie, heres your bag for you." I stand up and grab my bag from my mom and give her a slight smile as a thanks.
"Well, here goes nothing, I suppose." I say quietly.
As our taxi drives us to our new home, I examine how crammed together all the houses here in Liverpool are. I'm used to farm land and no neighbors, and here it seems like our neighbors are sitting right on top of us.
"Great, looks like there isn't any privacy, either." I say, and my mom gives me the look. That type of look that moms give that can make anyone stop talking.
As we come up to the door, mom goes to knock on the door, but before any noise can happen, the door swings open. Standing before me is a middle aged balding man, with his two sons standing by his side.
"Oh love, you made it early. I'm so 'appy you girls are 'ere finally!", the man says. As mom and the balding man kiss and hug, I wave awkwardly to my new brothers.
"Hi.", I say shyly. "Hello, Katherine is it?", one of the boys with black hair and droopy puppy dog eyes asks me. "Actually it's Kat. But my mom calls me Katherine." I say, smoothing out my green and white knee length dress out.
"Oh well it's a pleasure to meet you, Kat. My names Paul, and this is my brother, Mike." Paul says to me with a big grin on his face.
Little enthusiastic much? At least he's nice...I thought to myself. "And 'ello love, I have been dying to meet you!" The balding man says to me as he holds his arms out for a hug. I feel obligated to hug him back, so I wrap one arm around him awkwardly.
I think my mother said his name is Jim. Once we walk into the house, I look around examining it. It's a little small in here, but very homey. I notice there is a piano and a guitar, which I am relieved that maybe I can connect to these people in some way.
"Paul, why don't ye show Katherine to her new room?", Jim says as I hold my bags. Paul nods and looks back at me with a happy smile. I follow him up the stairs and we walk to the back of the hallway and go into the room on the right hand side.
"Well I hope we aren't making you feel bombarded, Kat. We are really happy you and your mum are 'ere." Paul says to me with yet again another smile on his face.
I smile back at him slightly. "Thanks Paul, I really appreciate it. Its beem kind of rough lately. Sorry if I seem kind of...distant.." I say to him, looking around my new room.
"Ah it's alright, I'll leave you be now if you want to get settled in." Paul says to me, and I give him a small smile. As Paul leaves, I close the door behind him.
I go look into my mirror, and wipe some makeup out of the corner of my green eyes, and brush my blonde, long hair. Ugh, jet lag. I think to myself. I lay on my new bed, and slowly close my eyes, thinking to myself Well, here goes nothing.... And drift off into a deep sleep.
