Why? Why am I falling in love? Every reason I moved here, and I just threw it all away.

What was the point in moving here when I just gave my heart away.

Away to the sweetest guy on earth who would never hurt you.

But how do I know that. He could just be playing me. The same exact way Jay did.

You were immature and a young stupid sixteen year old.

I suppose.... But I'm still sixteen. So how does that change anything?

Well, you're wiser now. You've learned your lesson. You know not to fall for those hot jerks anymore.

But what if I'm just mistaking Ringo for a kind hearted, gentle, sweetheart, when he is really just another one of those hot jerks?

I highly doubt that. He is the boy who you have dreamt about. Your prince in shining armor. The one who saves you from the terrifying bottomless pits of evil.

Ellie, why are you arguing with yourself? It was your choice to tell him how you felt. Now you're just going to have to except the consequences.

I layed in bed that night wide awake not being able to fall asleep.

I had been in bed for now three hours going back and forth with myself about my sudden decision to tell Ringo how I feel.

I laid on my back, the covers tucked under my chin. I stared up at the ceiling, as I tried to sort my thoughts.

My head looked down and turned towards the door at a sudden light shining through as the door creaked open.

Ringo's silhouette showed as he stood between the half open door and the wall.

"Ellie, love are you awake?" I sat up and reached over to a china lamp sitting on my nightstand.

I turned it on and straightened up my covers. My eyes met his and I patted a spot on the bed beside me.

He smiled weakly shuffling over and sitting beside me.
"You okay?" Ringo studied me nervously.

I nodded my head, and tried to give him a convincing smile.

Ringo took in a breath and gave out a sigh.

"I really just want you to feel at home. I don't want anything to be...... awkward between us. Y'know? Because I mean we have feelings for each other and........ I just dont want the atmosphere to be uncomfortable."

I nodded. "Why won't you talk?" Ringo shook his head and his eyes soft, filled with concern.

I shrugged, and fidgeted with my covers. "I've just been thinking. And I guess when you do a whole lot of it.... You dont have much to say."

Ringo gulped and ran his hands through his hair. "I knew it was too soon."

I heard him mumble under his breath. I sat there and watched as he put his face in his hands.

"I'm sorry Ellie, I came on too strong. And most of all too quick. I knew you were getting over another guy. I shouldn't have put all that pressure on you to make you feel as if you needed to tell me how you felt right then and there."

He looked into my eyes, and I thought I could almost see tears.

Did he really care this much? And already so quickly?

"Rings, its..... Its okay. I'm fine. It was my decision to tell you. Never once did I feel as if I had to tell you right then."

Ringo sighed and wrapped his arms around me. I sat shocked as he embraced me.

But suddenly the scent of roses and black pepper filled my insides. I felt my muscles relax and hugged him back.

His warm body covered my small petite figure as he embraced me, giving me a feeling of security, and love.

I had never felt this with anyone. And it made me realize that Ringo was really the one. He was my knight in shining armor. He was the one who saved me from the terrifying bottomless pits of evil.

Once we parted we stayed close, and our noses touched.

His lips began to move closer and closer to mine.

My stomach knotted up and the butterflies began to flutter.

Just as I thought he was about to kiss me, his lips pressed against my cheek tenderly.

I closed my eyes as his soft lips touched my cheek.

I stared deep into his eyes as he rubbed his hands up and down my arms.

"Are you sure that I didn't make you feel uncomfortable or uncertain in any way?"

I nodded and a smile spread across my face.

"I'm positive, my feelings are real. And I don't feel rushed at all. I actually feel as though I've known you for years."

Ringo grinned and stood up. "I guess that makes two of us." He bent down and covered me up tucking me in.

I smiled as he brushed my hair out of my eyes. Then quickly he turned out the light and shuffled over to the door.

"Goodnight, Elise. Sweet dreams."

I smiled in the dark staring at his silhouette. "Goodnight Ritchie. Sweet dreams."

I could see a smile spread across his face as he shut the door.

I turned over on my side and let myself slowly drift into a deep sleep, as the image of Ringo's soft lips caressing my cheek gently replayed over and over and over again.
*************************
The next day.......

"Ellie, breakfast is ready love and the lads will be here in about thirty minutes!"

I stood in front of the mirror and watched my reflection as I brushed my hair thoroughly.

"Okay Ringo, I'll be right there!" Quickly I brushed the rest of the tangles out and fluffed my hair up.

I wasnt pleased with my appearance. I never have been. I've always seen myself as ugly and not the type of girl that any guy would want to date.

I guess that's why I was so flustered that Ringo had feelings for me.

But I guess it also doesn't help much when your best friend and ex tell you that you're a worthless piece of crap, that will never be loved by anyone.

Which I believed was true. And that's why I'm not going to get serious with Ringo anytime soon.

I'm just another toy for someone to play around with till they find a better one.

Ringo would never really love me. Not when he sees who I really am. A worthless piece of crap.

He acts as if I'm the most precious thing he had ever laid eyes on.

But I'm a burden.

Ellie, your not a burden. You're a blessing.

I shook my head as I walked out of the bedroom, and into the living room to find Ringo shirtless as he flipped through a pile of mail.

I tried my hardest to advert my eyes away from his muscly chest.

But I stood there and stared dreamily. He looked so cute with his long plad pajama pants on.

His hair messy and all fluffy from sleep.

I smiled to myself and giggled lightly. Ringo looked up realizing that I was staring at his bare chest.

He blushed and laughed nervously, as he looked down at himself.

"Sorry, I guess I'm not too used to a lady being around."

I chuckled and shook my head. "Nah, I kinda like it. The shirtless look suits you."

I scanned him up and down as I went into the kitchen for some tea.

"Well, then I guess I'll have to wear it more often." Ringo bobbed his head around proudly.

I laughed as I prepared my tea. Ringo came up beside me and watched as I stirred up the warm liquid.
He smiled and looked me up and down.

"What?" Ringo giggled and shook his head.

"Nothing. It was a stupid question that I was about to embarrass myself asking you."

I let my gaze fall from his eyes and focused on my tea.

"Oh." Why are you disappointed he didnt ask you out?

I don't know, I was just thinking how maybe we might look cute together as a couple.

No, none of that. No getting serious remember?

Oh, yeah........

Suddenly the door burst open and Paul, John, and George came strolling into the house.

"Lennon, you didnt knock." Ringo said flatly raising an eyebrow.

John rolled his eyes and waved a hand at him. "Oh knock it off Ringo. Its just because you've got a pretty bird in the house thats got your trousers in a wad."

Ringo's eyes went sturn and I watched as he stomped himself over to John.

Ringo grabbed him by the ear, and dragged him to the back room.

Me and the other two lads erupted with laughter as he drug John away, while he cried for help.

I giggled to myself lightly as I turned back to my tea and began to stirr it once more.

As I watched the spoon go around the inside of the cup, making little ripples in the tea.

I could feel a pair of eyes on me as I focused on stirring.

"Good morning Ellie."

I looked up to see George's bright smile.

"Good morning George."

I smiled as I took a sip of the fresh piping hot tea.

"So, how is Liverpool treating you so far?"

We walked over to the couch and sat down as I took another sip.

"Well, I've got a roof over my head, a place to sleep, food to eat, and the four most wonderful insane boys I have ever met. So I guess you could say its treating me very well. A lot better than America I might add."

George smiled and nodded his head.

"I'm glad. But a better question might be...... How is Ringo treating you?"

I took a deep breath and traced my finger around the top of the cup.

"He's been a great friend to me. I can never be able to repay him fully for all he has done."

"He talks about you often y'know." I looked up at George curious."

He laughed at my expression and nodded.

"Yeah he phones one of us every night to tell us how gorgeous you are. He never stops talking about you. Me and the lads will try to change the subject, but you're all he wants to talk about."

I smiled to myself and gave out a light laugh.

"He really likes you Ellie."

I looked up at George and his face was sincere. I swallowed and tried to hold back tears.

"I know, we've talked about it."

"Do you like him?"

"Of course I do George, why do think I've been so quiet ever since the subject came up?"

I fidgeted nervously as I spoke. I couldn't look him in the eye and say it, for I knew I would begin to cry if I did.

I was afriad to love someone once again. But I dont know why I wasnt over the fear.......beacause I was in love with him.

"Ellie, Ringo has never ever acted towards a girl the way he had you.

He told me just last night that he wouldn't have let just any girl off the street live with him.

You're special Ellie, and Ringo is falling in love with you."
