Carry On (A Beatles Fanfiction)

Prologue

A/N- Hi thanks for reading. These characters were some of my first, I'm putting them into a new storyline. Ashley has been with me for a long time so I hope you enjoy this book and her travels. The above pic is my inspiration for Ashley.

Prologue:
"She's beautiful." He smiled down at his newborn daughter. His wife smiled tiredly back at him as she watched him cradle the newborn.
"Have you decided on a name for your little one, Mr. Lennon?" The doctor asked him. His face darkened at the name. He looked at his wife.
"We should do this now." He said to her, to which she just nodded in agreement.
"Ashley. Her name is Ashley Julia." His wife spoke up, rolling the name for her they'd come up with months prior.
"Ashley Julia Lennon. It has a lovely ring." The doctor smiled.
"No. No her last name is Bunting." The little girl's father said urgently. The doctor looked perplexed.
"Sir...?" He asked.
"Ashley Julia Bunting. She won't ever have that other name. Ever." He said, looking down at his now slumbering daughter. This was the beginning of a new life for them.

*************

Ashley Bunting she became. Shortly after her birth, her parents had their surname legally changed to match. No one knew why, there were whispers throughout the media and many fights while Ashley was very young, but they all vanished as she slowly grew up. Her father became a world famous songwriter and her mother was a model to begin with, so she stuck with that profession. They lived in London England in a peaceful neighbourhood in a large home. Ashley had everything she ever wanted. A spoiled child she was, but she was always humble. She was a sweet girl with a passion for music. From a young age she played guitar and sang for guests her parents had. She was always nice to her parents' friends, but she never had a friend of her own. She was home educated and very sheltered from the outside world. That changed when Ashley turned 14. A new family moved nearby from elsewhere in London. A rather famous family actually, and they had a daughter Ashley's age. That's how she met Sienna McCartney. Her parents balked at the idea at first for their secret reasons, but they could see that their daughter was smitten with this girl. So they allowed the friendship to flourish. But what they didn't know was that their allowing would lead to Ashley discovering the things they tried to keep from her for so long.
