Rock and Roll Music

Chapter 10

I was worried that we would not make it to the fight in time and I would never forgive myself if anything happened to him, I was suppose to meet him after class but instead I was still upset and stayed after. Ringo could tell I was upset so he brought his hand over to my shoulder "It will be alright luv," he said trying to reassure me.

"What if it's not," I asked

"Trust me," Ringo replied with a small smile

"Alright we're here now let's go get Paulie," John said pulling up out front of the warehouse

I started to get of the car "Wait," John said

"What?" I asked

"You stay here luv!" he demanded

"But I want to go," I said

John shook his finger at me and was about to say something when Ringo stepped in front "Maybe you should stay here," he said

"No!" I snapped

"Please!" he begged

"Fine," I sighed

Normal POV:

Ringo and John rushed into the warehouse "Come on we have to find them!" John hissed

"Right," Ringo said with a nod

They walked down a long hallway until they heard shouting "This way!" Ringo said following the voices.

"Look I told you already I don't want to fight!" Paul shouted

"And I said to damn bad!" Ricky snarled

"Get him Ricky," Amanda called from the sidelines

"Yeah Ricky bust him up!" shouted some kid next to her.

"Show him who's boss!" another kid yelled

Ricky smiled as he advanced Paul "Any last ones?" he asked grabbing onto his shirt collar

"Yeah let him go!" shouted John as he walked in the room

"What he said!" Ringo shouted following John

Ricky looked at them and started laugh "Well lookie here a couple of Pansie's,"

John clutched his fist and narrowed his eyes "Let him go," he repeated

"And if I don't," Ricky asked nonchalantly

"Then you'll have to answer to us," Ringo added bravely

Ricky bursted into a great laughter "You two really now I'm shaking in my shoes,"

Paul took this as his chance to get away, "Hey Ricky think fast!" he shouted as he brought his knee up and into his groin really hard.

"Shit," Ricky hissed grabbing his front before slumping down to the ground

"Come on Paul let's get out here," Ringo said " I mean before that lump gets up again."

John walked over to Ricky who was laying on the ground covering his crotch with one hand and sucking his thumb on the other "Trash!" he hissed then spat on his face.

"Come now John was that really called for?" Ringo asked as they made there way out

"Yes," he said bluntly

"Yeah well now he's going to probably want to kill you," Paul added

John just waved it off "I'm not scared of that arse,"

Back out by the car:

PAUL!" I shouted when I finally saw them emerge from the warehouse

"Des your alright," he said happily as he thew his arms around me

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" I asked

"Because the only reason I came up here is because I was told you," he told me

"Me why?"

"They told me Ricky was going to hurt you," he said

My heart did flip flops so he came up here because I was going to get hurt how sweet.

Over the couple weeks all four boys were spending more and more time together because John had signed them up to perform some songs for the Valentine's Day dance. Paul had convinced them to let George join because he said the music would sound better or something like that.

Tuesday Feb. 10th...

It was just four days until Valentine's day and I still did not have a date for the dance everyone had one, Ringo was going with Kansas, John with Cyn and Paul most likely some hot girl since we're "just friends" I did not expected him to ask me. I walked gloomily to my locker to get some books out of it, I entered the combination and opened it. My face was shocked when I opened it and found a big white teddy stuffed in there holding a box of chocolates and a card, I opened the card and read it (You are my"Destiny" will you be my Valentine?) if yes check this box and leave it behind the water fountain in hallway 101 if no just toss this card in the garbage. I bit my lip as I pulled out a pen to check "yes."

"Hey Des," Paul said "where did you get the bear?"

"From someone who wants me to be his Valentine," I said

"Let me see," he said snatching the card from me

"Hey!" I snapped

"Well are you going say yes?" he asked

I blushed "I don't know maybe,"

He smiled "Well I think you should,"

"Who are you taking?" I asked

"I called an old friend and she's going with me," he said

Saturday Feb. 14...

The night of the dance had arrived my date had left me a note stating that he would meet me at the dance and to find him look for the guy holding a single red rose. Dad drove me to the dance "Dessy don't do anything your not supposed to." he said when we pulled up

I rolled my eyes "I won't,"

He looked at me "You look just like your mother you know,"

This was the first time he mentioned her since her death "No mom was pretty," I sighed

"But you are my dear," he said rubbing my cheek "I'm sorry if I ever hurt you when I was drunk."

I smiled at him "I forgive you,"

He smiled back then we embraced each other in a hug "Love you," he whispered

"Love you too."

I got out of the car straightened out my dress and made sure my pantyhose was pulled up "So how do I look," I asked turning to Dad.

"Beautiful," he replied

I walked in the school but before I went to the gym I stopped off in the restroom to look at myself in the mirror, my dress was cut at the knees, it had thin straps and it was red. I fixed the red bow in my hair and made sure it was straight.

In the gym I made my way up to the stage and I did I kept looking around for a guy with a single red rose but there was no sign of him.

"Good evening and welcome," Mr. Marpole said "please welcome John, Richard, Paul and George to the stage,"

"Thank you!" shouted John

"Let's start off with a song called (The Word)," Paul said

When the music started up I looked around and all the kids were starting get into it and dance.

Say the word and you'll be free

Say the word and be like me

Say the word I'm thinking of

Have you heard the word is love?

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love

In the beginning I misunderstood

But now I've got it, the word is good...

• I had to admit they sounded pretty good

Spread the word and you'll be free

Spread the word and be like me

Spread the word I'm thinking of

Have you heard the word is love?

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love

Everywhere I go I hear it said

In the good and the bad books that I have read...

Say the word and you'll be free

Say the word and be like me

Say the word I'm thinking of

Have you heard the word is love?

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love

Now that I know what I feel must be right

I'm here to show everybody the light

Give the word a chance to say

That the word is just the way

It's the word I'm thinking of

And the only word is love

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love...

When they were finished with that song they sang a song called (I Should Have Known) and another on called (I Want To Hold your Hand)

Oh yeah, I´ll tell you something

I think you´ll understand

When I say that something

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand...

Oh, please, say to me

You´ll let me be your man

and please, say to me

• I stood there watching them with a smile but on the inside my heart was breaking my date stood me up.

You´ll let me hold your hand

Now let me hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy, inside

It´s such a feeling

That my love

I can't hide

I can't hide

I can't hide

Yeah you, got that something

I think you´ll understand

When I say that something

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy, inside

It´s such a feeling

That my love

I can't hide

I can't hide

I can't hide

Yeah you, got that something

I think you´ll understand

When I feel that something

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand

I wanna hold your hand...

"And for our last song take it away Paulie," John beamed into the mic.

Paul smiled and said "Thank you John this next song is for a friend of mine."

I pointed to myself and gave me a quick nod.

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 !

The music was incredible such a wonderful dance beat.

Well, she was just 17,

You know what I mean,

And the way she looked was way beyond compare.

So how could I dance with another (ooh)

When I saw her standin' there...

• I listened to the words closely

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see

That before too long I'd fall in love with her.

She wouldn't dance with another (whooh)

When I saw her standin' there.

Well, my heart went "boom,"

When I crossed that room,

And I held her hand in mine...

Well, we danced through the night,

And we held each other tight,

And before too long I fell in love with her.

Now, I'll never dance with another (whooh)

When I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom,"

When I crossed that room,

And I held her hand in mine...

Oh, we danced through the night,

And we held each other tight,

And before too long I fell in love with her.

Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)

Since I saw her standing there...

He stepped off the stage "What's wrong?" he asked when he saw the sad look on my face

"Well it's just that I was stood up by my date," I explained

"Oh I see, he said sighing a little "here I have something to show you."

I looked at him "Really what?"

"It's a surprise," he replied as he took my hand and started to lead me somewhere "I forgot you have close your eyes."

"Why?"

"Like I said it's a surprise,"

"Fine," I sighed and closed my eyes and take full control

"Okay," he whispered "open them."

I opened my eyes to look around and noticed we were under the bleachers "Why did you bring me here?" I asked

"Destiny you are my destiny will you be my Valentine?" he asked holding out the single red rose

I could feel my heart beating fast as a tear started to run down my cheek "Yes I will be your Valentine," I said wiping it from my cheek.

He smiled and moved closer to me just as (This I Swear) by Nick Lachey started play "Dance?"

I smiled back "Sure,"

You're there by my side

In every way

I know that you would not forsake me

I give you my life

Would not think twice

Your love is all I need believe me...

I may not say it quite as much as I should

When I say I love you darling that means for good

So open up your heart and let me in

And I will love you 'til forever

Until death do us part we'll be together

So take my hand and hold on tight

And we'll get there

This I swear ...

I laid my head onto his chest and he placed his on top of mine as we danced slow. Without realizing it the others had found us and now were watching us.

Is everything I do I do for you

I may not say it quite as much as I should

When I say I love you darling that means for good

So open up your heart and let me in...

Paul reached down and lifted my face up so that we were facing each other "My Destiny," he whispered then he placed his lips onto mine.

"Aww ain't that sweet?" John blurted out

Paul and I broke apart my cheeks went hot when we turned to see our friends standing there with big goofy smiles on there faces, even Ringo was smiling and giving us thumbs up.

"Come on don't stop on our account," John said wiggling his eyebrows up and down

"Not in front of you" Paul replied

"But Paulie," John started but Ringo stepped in "come now Johnny let's go dance with our dates." he said playfully pushing John out of sight

"Thanks Rings," I whispered when he came back

"It's nothing," he shrugged then turned to Paul pointing his finger and said "remember what I said about hurting her."

Paul nodded "Don't worry she's in good hands."

"Yeah well she better be," Ringo warned

I walked over to Ringo and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek "I won't let him do anything," I whispered

With that said Ringo left though I could tell he was reluctent, I turned bact to Paul "Now where were we?" I asked

"I believe you were saying how incredibly handsome I was," he said smiling

"Handsome there's a laugh," I joked

We spent our evening back there dancing away from the crowd and every once in while Ringo would peek around quick and leave but all in all it was the BEST Valentine's day ever...
