This chapter is dedicated to George Young. (6 November 1946 - 23 October 2017)

27th October 1963

The last few months have been amazing. Me and Stevie have been dating for a while now. Today me and the boys are having a day out in Sydney. We walked all around the city. Even though I've lived just outside of Sydney for over a year now, I had never been out to explore. We walked past a florist and Stevie ran inside. "What is he doing?" I asked George. He just shrugged. George hasn't talked to me much since Stevie told me that he loved me. I got a feeling he was jealous. I was brought out of my thoughts when there was a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Stevie with a bouquet of flowers. "For the prettiest girl in the world" he said as he handed me the flowers. "Aww thank you" I said as I gave him a kiss on the cheek. As soon as I stepped back, Stevie pulled me in closer to him and kissed me passionately. The boys wolf whistled as we continued to kiss. "Seriously guys? In public?" George rolled his eyes as he continued to walk ahead of us. "What's his problem?" Stevie asked. Everyone shrugged.

We eventually caught up to George. Being the caring friend I am, I walked up to him to talk to him. "Is everything alright?" I asked, concerned. "I don't want to talk about it now" George grumbled. I looked down. George sighed. "I'm sorry, Sheila. Could we talk about it later?" George asked. I looked up to him and saw he had a tear coming down his left cheek. "Ok. Come around to mine around 7:00 tonight" I smiled. "Ok. 7:00 it is" he smiled back.

We spent some more time walking around the city. It was now around midday and we were all starting to get a bit hungry. We found a little cafe. It over looked the Sydney Harbour Bridge. You can also see the construction of the Sydney Opera House. We sat down and ordered lunch. The boys tried to get me to talk about Stuart but I just couldn't bring myself to talk about him. "I wonder what Paul, John, George and Pete are up to these days" Snowy said. I sighed. "I haven't seen or heard from them since the funeral. I miss hanging out with John Lennon the most. He was Stu's and me best friend" I said. At that moment I felt a tap on the shoulder. I turned around to see a girl my age. "Sorry to interrupt but did you say you were best friends with John Lennon?" The girl asked. I nodded. "You really know John Lennon of The Beatles?!" She practically screeched. "How do you know he's in a band called The Beatles? You don't sound like your from Liverpool" I asked confused. "Yeah of course! Everyone knows The Beatles! There're fab! Come on turn your transistor radio on. I bet there're playing now!" she squealed with excitement. I got it out and turned it on.

(1,2,3,4!)

Well, she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (ohh)
When I saw her standing there

I knew who it was straight away. "It's Paul McCartney singing!" I said with excitement. Everyone laughed. "You can buy the record at the music shop around the corner. Just ask for The Beatles Please Please Me" the girl said. I thanked her and she left. As soon as we finished lunch I raced to the record shop. I ran in to the shop all puffed out. "Do you have a copy of 'Please Please Me' by The Beatles?" I asked puffing. "Sorry they're all sold out. But I can go out back to see if there's any laying around" the man said. I nodded and he went out back. He came back out a couple of minutes later. "Lucky for you there was one copy left" the man said. I smiled. I paid for it and said "thanks." I walked out with my record under my shoulder. "I can't wait to hear it" Snowy said. "Me too" I smiled.

The rest of the day was spent at Snowy's. We listened to The Beatles and a few other artists. It was now 5:45pm and I had to go home for dinner. I said my goodbyes and got a massive kiss and hug from Stevie. As I walked out I felt a tap on my shoulder. "I'll see you at seven" George smiled. "Yep, see you later" I said. As I walked out.

I walked into our tin house to the smell of lasagna. I sat down and started to eat dinner. "How was your day sweetie?" Mum asked me after we finished dinner. "It was great. Do you remember John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison?" I asked eagerly. "Yes we do honey" my Dad answered. "Well guess what?! The got a a album out!" I yelled with excitement as I held up the record. "Oh that's good for them" Mum said. "The album is fab! Pete Best was replaced with some guy named Ringo Starr. But he's an even better drummer" I said. "Can we play it?" Joyce asked. "I can't see why not" Mum said. I got up and placed the record on the player and it started to play. We were listening to 'Love Me Do' when there was a knock on the door. I looked at the clock and saw it was 7:00. "That will George Young" I said as I got up. I answered the door and sure enough it was George. "Hi" I smiled. "Hey. Do you mind if we go for a walk?" He asked. "Sounds good" I said. I told my parents where I was going and we left.

George and I walked in silence for a few minutes. It was nice walking under the moonlight in peace and quiet. There was a cool breeze and I shivered. George took his jacket off and put it around my shoulders. I smiled. "So you wanted to talk to me about something?" I asked George. "Yeah. I, umm just wanted talk about you and Stevie" George said nervously. "Ok what did you want to say?" I asked curiously. "Well umm, I... never mind" he said as he looked down. "Are you sure your alright?" I asked concerned. He looked up to me and smiled. He put his hands around my waist and pulled me closer. His lips were inches from mine. "Everything is perfect. You are perfect" he whispered. He closed the gap and kissed me passionately. It felt like heaven to me. His lips were so soft. My mind snapped. What was I doing? I'm kissing my boyfriends best friend. I wanted to pull away but I couldn't. I thought no one was watching so I placed my arms around him and hugged him as we continued kissing. "What's going on here?!" I herd a voice yell. We turned around and saw Harry. Behind him was another shorter guy. I squinted my eyes and I soon realised who it was. It was Stevie.
