Liverpool, England ⋆𐙚 ̊. 1959

(Idk anything about Thelma just didn’t want to write it abt Cynthia🙏)

You and John had known each other for a while, and had gotten quite close in that time. You both liked to look out for one another because you both cared for each other..

It was because you cared about him so much that you had kept your feelings to yourself for so long. He was such a sweet boy, very talented and charismatic. A bit of an asshole, but still.. So you didn’t want to risk your friendship with him, you knew how much he loved to talk and spend time with you. You had been there for him through everything, he relied on you heavily…

He had a new girlfriend though.. Thelma Pickles..

You always had an odd feeling around Thelma. A feeling that went past just petty jealousy. She wasn’t right for him, she was rude and quite often took advantage of him to get what she wanted. But it seemed like only you could see it..

The final straw was when you went out to a party with John and Thelma. Being the third wheel to them had already put you in a bad mood so you were drinking a bit more than usual.

The bright flashing lights, loud music and large crowd of people, surrounding, squishing and pushing you around gave you that familiar nauseating feeling you got everytime you drank. You were going to be sick..

You stumbled your way to the bathroom and barged in, only to catch Thelma making out with a man your fuzzy eyes couldnt recognise. All you knew was that it definitely wasnt John..

You just shut the door, your eyes wide and your breathing uneven. A million thoughts were running through your mind..

” Do I tell him? How could she do that to him! Who the hell was that guy? John is going to be crushed!“ etc, etc..

He stepped up behind you, a beer in one hand while the other came up to rest on the small of your back.

” You alright, love?” He chuckled softly. “ Y’gonna be sick?”

His smile was smug and arrogant, but there was a hint of warmth to it that he only seemed to show around you.. He didn’t deserve this..
