Ivy

"RINGO!"I yelled as I ran through the house.

"What's wrong?" John asked as I ran into him.

"I need to find Ringo! I have to find him..." I said nearly in tears.

"Well, he went to the library...I could take you, if you want me to," He said gently, he sounded scared.

"Yeah, thank you," I said as he took my hand and we went out to a car. We soon pulled out in front of the Library, I got out and ran to the front, and found Ringo talking to a girl, he handed the book he was reading to her and walked right past the pole I was standing behind. I felt like I was gonna be sick. I ran back to where John was and got in.

"You alright?"He asked.

"Let's just go home..." I said, my lip quivering.

"What, are you alright?" He asked, putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, just drive..." We drove home, and I ran in the house.

"What's up with her?" Teddy asked. George shrugged.

"You might want to talk to her, Ted." John said.

"Oh, it's that bad." She said slowly standing up. I burst into the room, and face planted on George's bed, I couldn't stand anything that reminded me of him. I ripped the necklace off, and threw it at who just so happened to be standing in the doorway.

"OW!" She yelled as she picked it up, "WHY?" She asked.

"Because, I HATE him!" I said sitting up.

"What, why do you hate the person you're talking about?" She asked, clueless of who it was. She looked down at her hand, and saw what the necklace was.

"Oh, honey, Why do you hate Ringo?" She asked sitting next to me after I sat up.

"Well, he was with this girl, at the Library, and she looked a heck of a lot like Maureen..." I sniffled.

"Well, maybe you were just looking at it wrong. Maybe, he was getting a book from her, or maybe she's some sort of science specialist, you can never know." The front door opened and closed.

"DON'T LET HIM IN HERE!" I yelled. Teddy looked at me and went to the door, and turned.

"I won't let him in here," She said closing the door behind her. I stayed in that room for a few hours, and I soon heard yelling outside the door. Ringo got the door open.

"Why aren't I allowed in here?" He asked, sitting next to me.

"Well, I-" He saw the necklace on the floor, the clasp broken.

"What's wrong?" He looked at the chain, and then at me.

"You were at the library with a girl...and her name is Maureen, isn't it!" I asked.

"How did you know her name? But it's not what you think...she works at the library, I was gonna check out a book, then she recommended another, so I gave that one to her to re-shelve, when I went to get it." He said.

"I don't believe you..." I said, "Get out please..." I said quietly. He got up and walked out, and closed the door behind him.

"So, how did that go?" I heard John say from the other side of the door.

"She hates me..." Ringo said.

"It'll be alright Ringo...she'll get over it, I know she will." Teddy said.

John

"Poor Ringo, I wish I could help him," Paul said as Ringo went into the room he and George now shared, "Cant you talk to her? You know, calm her down a bit?"

"NO! I've tried, it's up to her, to calm herself down..." Teddy said looking at the door. The door opened, and Ivy stepped out.

"I'm tired of crying, I'm tired of yelling, and now I'm hungry." She said walking to the kitchen.

"I'm gonna talk to Ringo...maybe he'll understand." I said. I walked into his room, and closed the door.

"What do you want, John?" He asked looking up, his eyes bloodshot.

"Well, I want you to know, she's really upset. Were you messing around with this librarian?" I asked.

"NO! I think of her as just a friend...there is no way I could even think of doing that to Ivy, I love her you know," He said.

"Really?" A voice came from outside the door, "If you told her that, then maybe she'll forgive you," Teddy said opening the door.

"I've told her that before, and she may not believe me this time...she told me she hated me, and I don't think she'll ever love me again!" He said shaking his head.

"Oh, I don't think that's true, go and talk to her, she's out in the kitchen," Teddy said grabbing his shoulder, "GO!"

Ringo

"Hey, uh, Ivy, I..um...I don't know what you saw, but I haven't even wanted to go there with her, my feelings are for you, and not for her, I don't barely like her even as a friend, and I love you." I said, as she stared at me.

"Alright, I forgive you..." She sighed. I leaned in to kiss her, but she held up her hand, "It'll be a while before you can kiss me, I'm sorry, but I need you to earn back my trust." I sighed.

"Alright, how do I do that?" I asked.

"Well, you can start by getting this fixed." She said holding out the necklace, she smiled a little, as she wiped off her face with her sleeve.

By the time July came around we were even closer than we were before.

"Ringo?" She called, "Where are the plates I just bought?" She wondered.

"You should know where they are? You and your sister have been here for like half a year!" I said laughing.

"NO! I need the ones with the big red, white, and blue star on it!" She yelled.

"Why?"

"Well, in America, today is the 4th of July! And American's are supposed to celebrate!" She said looking at me with puppy-dog eyes.

"FINE! Ask John!" I said as I looked at her and gave her a kiss. She smiled and ran off to find John. I slowly followed, and found John standing next to a weird machine.

"DO YOU LIKE IT?" He yelled over the roar of it.

"WHAT IS IT?" She asked. I walked up next to her, and saw the entire thing. It was made out of junk he must've found around the house.

"MY TIME MACHINE!" He said he flipped a switch and it turned off, "Of course, it won't work, not without more work that is."

"Look! My plates!"She said as she pulled them out of the bundle of junk. It immediately crumbled.

"Look what you did!" He shouted, "I outta hit you!"

"You better not hit her!" I shouted even louder.

"I didn't mean it! Why do you need the plates anyway?" John asked.

"4th of July is today, in America it's a national holiday! Me and Teddy are gonna have a party, and you 4 are welcome to come!" John rolled his eyes and groaned.

"FINE! IF YOU NEED THE LIFE OF THE PARTY! I'll come!" John said acting highly dramatic.
