Midnight Man

fresh starts

Amy's pov
1968

I hoped out of bed, it was a slightly cold morning here in Australia.

I took a deep breath in getting ready for the day that was about to unravel.

It's been 4 years since I've seen John.
I mean apart from everywhere on the news.

Everytime I see him, I remember the past.
I still love him dearly, but I keep telling my self to let go.

I mean it's crazy that I'm still all over him.
Lucy's all grown up now, she moved to America last year.

I got back on track with modelling, I still live in Australia.

I can never leave! It's my home town!
Ive become quite successful...

Vouge has taken an interest to me.
I still do a bit of photography, but mostly modelling.

It's quite cliche and I know that, but I love it and I think that's all what matters.

I've dated like 7 guys over the period of 4 years.

I mean I sleep with a bunch of guys, but they never turns into anything.

It's weird because it's almost like John is in the back of my mind still, and I make myself believe it's my decision.

I sometimes stay awake at night thinking about him, I convince myself I'm not crazy.

But at the same time I am crazy for him.

He's never sent anything to me. So I figured he's forgotten about me.

John's pov

I felt the sweat trickle down my forehead as I sprinted down the streets of Liverpool.

I was visiting Mimi.
I ran my hardest down the paths, down penny lane.

Until I reached it.
"One vouge magazine please!"
The man looked me up and down confused.
He shrugged and handed me one.

I smiled and handed him money.
I ran with the magazine.

I didn't look at it yet.
But as soon as I did, I fell for her again.

Amy was on the front page.
She was beautiful, the most beautiful girl ever!

I can add it to me collection!

I walked back home. Not many people in Liverpool noticed me which is good.

I walked in.
"I'm back Mimi!"
I took my coat off and sat in the Lounge room with her.
"Did you get that magazine again?"
I grunted and nodded.
"Y'know john, if I were you I'd want to see her again."
She said as she read her book by the fire place.
"I know Mimi, but she's different. She's probably forgotten I exist."
Mimi laughed.
"What?"
She looked up from her book.
"John its bloody well hard to forget you exist when your on the front of every bloody magazine yourself!"

She made sense, I was. Well the lads and I were.
I know the Beatles won't last for to long.

We fight quite a lot.
Cynthia broke up with me two years ago.

Im on and off with random birds these days.
But like I said 4 years ago, I'll always have a special place for Amy in my heart.

She changed me for the better, they say that's what love does to you.

Mimi and I spoke for a while. But then I left.

Amy's pov

"Ok yes...  1 2 3... Yeah!"
The lay cheered me on as she took photos of me for the new magazine.

"Ok have a break Amy. Good job!"
The lady walked off.

Perfect! Now I can sneak off to the magazine collection.

The company I'm currently modelling for keeps a room filled with the hottest new magazines.

So when I can I sneak to that room to look a magazines of john.

I sneaked in and was welcomed with an older cover.

I smiled and admired his face, i smiled even harder when I noticed he was wearing his glasses.
I remembered he told me he had bad eye sight.

I Flicked through the pages until I got to the one dedicated to him and his writings.

I started reading.
It read.

So after Cynthia did you ever fall in love?
Reporter sally Taylor

Well to be honest I never really was in love with Cynthia, I liked and cared for her very much but I didn't love her. When I was ten I was asked if I liked anyone in my class, but I really didn't. So I asked me uncle George and he told me about love, he told me how it made him feel. And I never ever felt that feeling he described to me all those years ago.
Until I met someone.
She was a different bird to the rest and I met her in complete accident. There was just something about her that made me feel special she made me feel like I could accomplish anything, she listened to me. But then I left and I've never seen her since. But I'll tell you one thing a day never goes by when I'm not thinking about her. My memories are clear as day on her. I always see her in my mind happy. I hope she found her happiness.
John Lennon idol and musician.

Thats truly beautiful John. Can we get a name?
Reporter sally Richards.

I'm not sure how I can say it, so let's just say Cinderella.
John Lennon idol and musician.

I dropped the magazine and looked down to my hands, they were shaking furiously.

He really loved me that much?

My heart aches for him.

All my memories I shared with in flashed before my eyes.

But this time when I thought about him I didn't cry, I smiled.

I smiled and remembered the man I knew and loved.

Like I said all those years ago, it's it right then we will meet each other.

I walked out and finished my photo shoot, my spirits had been lifted for the better.

Little did Amy know she would be meeting him sooner then she expected.
