Growing Up Beside You [John Lennon/Beatles Fanfiction]

Celia Pooley has always hated John Lennon- the arrogant, obnoxious loudmouth at her school.

However, when Celia and John find themselves forced into each other's company, they soon become drawn to each other in a way that seems to confuse them both and slowly but surely, their affection for each other flourishes and their lives begin to change in a way neither of them expected.

'Growing Up Beside You' follows Celia and John's life through their rebellious and adventurous rock n roll loving teenage years, to the hardships of young adulthood where the decision to follow their head or heart takes its toll on love.

What does fate have in store for John and Celia and will the two of them always have each other, or will something or someone stand in the way?

A coming-of-age, romance story, following the journey of new friendships, sorrows, first loves and all the joys and complications that come with it.
