Chapter 2-IMAGINE

Josie arrives in New York at 10am and took a cab to the Dakota. 'I can't believe my real father lives in THEE Dakota.' Josie thought to herself. She didn't know who she was looking for,when she got to the Dakota she went in and found room #709 she paused only for a moment and knocked on the door. She heard someone say hang on. "Yes?" A tall lanky man with a beard who looked like a hippie said opening the door. "Um are you Jimmy Lithgow?" Josie said. "Yes who are you?" Jimmy said. "Well I think I'm your daughter, my mother's name was Angie Gowen. She was involved with you and she got pregnant by you. She got sick after she had me and didn't bother telling you about me. She left me in the Imagine circle across the street." Josie explained. "Um yes I was involved with Angie but she didn't get pregnant." Jimmy said. Josie sighed and rolled her eyes. "Can we get a paternity test then? Because from the looks of it I look a whole hell like you." She said. Jimmy looked like he knew she was his, but still said "Yes we will definantly get one. Josie kept looking outside she could see the imagine circle from the window. "Do you want to go over there?" Jimmy asked. "Oh please, yes." Josie said. They walked to it, it was so beautiful, Strawberry fields is exactly how she imagined it. They sat on a bench right infront of the circle, as Josie looked at it knowing that this is the last place her mother held her, she felt a very cold breeze on her face, and she saw John when she closed her eyes he looked just he did in her dream,she smiled. "Ya know I thought you were dead, when I found out about your mom dying I thought someone took you or you may have died too" Jimmy said. Josie didn't say anything. she just stared at the circle. "Are you a follower of Lennon?" Jimmy said. When Josie heard Lennon she snaped out of her trance. "What?" Josie said. "You are you a follower of Lennon?" He said. "Oh yes I believe he stayed with me when Angie left me here, I think he's my angel" Josie said. "Yea I like him too that's why I got an apartment at the Dakota,it's where everything happened." Jimmy said. "Why did he have to die?, Why did my mother have to die?" Josie said getting up and lying in the middle of the circle. "Well you live with your adopted parents have they been good to you?" "Yes" "That's why your mom died it was her time and she made sure that John took care of you till your adopted parents found you, and John I think the reason for that is he was ment to be your guardian." Jimmy said. He seemed so much like John but later Josie would find that not to be true.

They went and got a paternity test,while they waited Josie stayed at Jimmy's. The test came back saying that Jimmy was not her father. Jimmy had boughten Josie all kinds of things and forced her to give them all back, "Is that all you wanted my money?" Jimmy said. "Your mom was a whore who knows who you dad is hell all the fucked up things your mom did back then John fucking Lennon could be your dad." Josie is near tears but fights them back he's not worth crying over. "I wish he was my dad," Josie said. God I wish he was. Josie was born in 1985 and John died in 1984. Josie called her dad Allen and he flew her home. Josie and Izzy were sitting in Josie's room. "He said John Lennon might as well be my dad, how cool would that be?" Josie said. "Well I always said you look like him,and you were born 10 months after he died, you act like him, who knows I mean Jimmy gave you pictures of your mom and John right?" Izzy said. "Yea, but come on, how would I even begin to explain to anyone if anyone would even listen to me." Josie said. Josie got on the computer and tried to find Jullian or Sean Lennon on myspace. She found Sean and sent him a message. 'Sean, my name is Josie Martin, I know this sounds crazy but I think your dad is my father, my mother had some "meetings" with him and the last one was on December 1st 1984. I was born 10 months after that, on October 9th 1985. I don't want you to get mad or anything I'm not trying to kid with you or your family. I really think he could be my dad I look like him and my mom left me in the Imagine circle before she died she said in a letter that she left with me that she knew John would take care of me, and apparently he did. So please contact me. Thank you.'
