When you move into a different country, you always have to adjust and learn new things quickly. Driving in England was a lot different. When it comes to the side of the road that we drive on, we drive on the right in the US. In England, they drive on the left. Even their roads are less wider here.

I've been driving since I was 16, my father taught me how and even helped me whenever I get nervous. As time went by, I actually enjoyed driving a lot. Sometimes I ride my bicycle when the day feels nice enough to go on a bike ride.

When I came home from work, there was a note left for me by the telephone.

Mary, while you were at work, John called. He's at Southport, Lancashire with the band for a show, but he'll be back in London for another show at the Majestic Ballroom tomorrow night. It's at Finsbury Park and he's inviting you to come see him there and meet the lads before the show tomorrow, he actually sounded really excited to see you again.

                                                                                                                  Poppy

After reading the note, I actually felt a little bit of excitement that he wanted to see me again. Poppy was right, I may have done more than a good impression on him. Now he wants me to meet his bandmates while we get to know each other more. I am a little nervous about meeting them, all they know so far is that I'm just some girl that he met and danced with at a club if he talked to them about what happened that night. I have seen Paul with him, but we haven't had the chance to introduce ourselves. I do hope to make a good impression when I meet them.

The next day, I went to the Majestic Ballroom at Finsbury Park. Since I took the time to explore London, it was easy to find my way around. Poppy mentioned that John will inform the band's manager, Mr. Brian Epstein to wait for my arrival and take me backstage. When I arrived, there was a man wearing a business suit waiting to greet me as he saw me.

"Hello, you must be Miss Watson." he said as we shook hands.

"Yes, I am. And you must be Mr. Epstein. It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, follow me and I'll take you to the lads."

He led me inside the building and took me backstage. Just as we arrived at the band's dressing room, someone opened the door and it was John.

"Lizzie! I'm glad you made it, come in." said John as I walked towards the door.

As I entered the dressing room, it got quiet immediately as his bandmates went silent upon seeing me. I suddenly felt nervous upon meeting them. It may be because I was shy since I was always shy growing up, it's never a fun feeling to have when meeting new people.

"Lads, I'd like you to meet Mary Elizabeth." he said to them.

They said hello to me in a kind tone, I was won over by how polite they were. I decided to greet Paul first since I had seen him at the club with John that night, but never had a chance to fully meet him.

"You must be Paul, I remember seeing you at the club." I said as Paul and I shook hands.

"Oh, yeah, I do remember you too. You were the only thing that John couldn't stop thinking about that night." he said.

"Really? Well, I can say the same with him." I said.

"Why don't you tell us more about yourself? How did you end up living in America after being born in England, and what brought you back here?" asked John.

The moment he asked that question, I felt hesitant to answer that. I've been trying my best to be happy while fitting in at my new home, I didn't wanna think about my last memories of my dad because they would overwhelm me with sadness. But after meeting them and getting to know them more. Especially since John wanted to know me more.

"Well, my parents moved to America a month after the war ended to start a new life. When my parents got divorced when I was nine, my mother went back to England while I stayed in America with my dad. Stayed with him for seventeen years until he died... he was lost at sea."

The moment I said those last words, I started to feel sad and I felt tears falling down on my face. Even though it felt painful talking about it, it actually felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. Everything felt so silent until I heard John's voice.

"You alright?"

His voice helped snap me back to reality, and I didn't even realize that he was holding my hand until I looked down. I didn't even think about pulling my hand away because it felt comforting. I didn't realize how much connection we felt for each other until that. That was the day when I felt true love for the first time. Because he made me feel calm when he held my hand.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry." I said as I wiped my tears away.

"No, no. Don't apologize, love. I'm really sorry for your loss." said John.

While I am used to everyone saying that, even though some of them don't know how it really feels, I saw a bit of sadness in John's eyes. It felt like he actually understood me when it comes to loss.

"Thanks." I said to him as I smiled.

Despite what happened when I was talking about my father, John and the other lads helped me by not making me feel embarrassed crying in front of them. They showed me a lot of kindness when I saw their looks of concern and didn't judge me at all.

John

As we performed the show, I couldn't stop thinking about Lizzie. I felt a calming presence when I saw her watching us perform from backstage. Ever since we met that night when she asked me to dance with her, I haven't been able to stop thinking about her every day. Usually when I'm with girls, I just charm them and sleep with them while on tour. But the moment I met her, I felt a different feeling. She was unlike any other girls that I've met, it was such a stronger feeling than I've never felt before.

Mary Elizabeth

As the show ended, I had some last few minutes left to speak to John before he had to leave with the band for another busy day tomorrow.

"I'm really glad you came, it was nice getting to know you more before the show." he said.

"Thank you, I couldn't say no to an invitation like that. I was so surprised that you invited me." I said.

"Well, you left off quite a good impression when we met. Had to invite you since I wanted to see you again."

It was actually really sweet that he wanted to see me again. Even I wanted to see him again because I couldn't stop thinking about him ever since that night we danced together. I never interacted with boys that much since I was too shy and was afraid of making mistakes in life if I commit to the wrong person. But John was different. I remembered how safe I felt when I danced with him since he didn't dare to do anything stupid, he was gentle and kind to me.

"I almost forgot to give you this," he said as he handed me a piece of paper. It was his phone number.

"Thanks, here's the address to where I live." I said as I handed him the address to Amelia's house in case he ever gets the chance to visit.

"Thank you, love. I won't be able to visit since we're on tour, but I'll make sure to visit you when I get the chance."

"Don't worry, we both have our phone numbers now, We'll get to talk more often whenever you're traveling or so."

"That's true, even I'll get to hear your voice more and I will think of you every day."

I practically had butterflies in my stomach when he said that. I could tell that he really liked me, and wanted to spend more time with me. Either by phone calls or in person, no matter what. As I went home, I felt like I may have found a special person that's been waiting for me all my life.
