A Rainy Summer

A Rainy summer 8

~Chapter (8)~

"No way! The Beatles are way cooler than The Rolling Stones."

Liam shook his head. "The Rolling Stones are the best, they're awesome," he pulled the car over next to the bridge.

"The Beatles are the number one band of all time. How can you even think otherwise?" I argued as I strode out of Liam's car. How could anyone think The Beatles weren't a band like no other? I was one of their biggest fans since I was a kid, and I still remember singing their songs with Jordan every night after dinner.

"There is no other Mick Jagger." Liam stated as he locked his car and followed me.

"I don't think Jagger is bad; he's very talented. In fact I'm a fan, but I still prefer The Beatles," I shrugged and wagged my eyebrows at him.

Liam scoffed. "Typical. All girls are bloody crazy for Paul."

"I am not crazy for Paul!" I objected and turned to give to frown at him.

"I don't see why you all fancy him though," Liam jeered shaking his head.

"I do not like him! He's not my type." I never liked Paul, I mean his voice was great but that was it. On the other hand Haley was obsessed with him like most other girls in the world.

I watched as Liam's eyes widened in surprise. "You don-t-t?" He stuttered and gave me a bewildered look.

I chuckled shaking my head at him at his reaction. "I like John. I adore his voice, so unique and angelic."

Liam gasped immediately as his face turned blank.

I raised one of my eyebrows and gave him a confused look. "What?"

"You're a Lennon fan?"

I nodded. "Since I was four years old."

"Wow. You are really quite different."

I flashed him a grin. "I'm going to consider that as a compliment."

"It is." Liam confirmed giving a wide smile.

"You know, I don't have to obsess over Paul just because most of the girls do," I told him as we walked together slowly. I took a glance at the sky only to see the most beautiful sunset ever, I just couldn't rip my eyes away from it.

"It's beautiful." I whispered staring at it. They say some people love watching the sunrise while others rather watch the sunset. Well I am a sunset person.

"There is just something about sunset I love." Liam muttered gazing up at the now orange-reddish sky.

"An ending for a very long bad day," I mumbled.

"A closure to an awful experience," Liam said and sighed putting his hands inside his pockets.

A small smile made its way to my face. "I'm glad you agree. Finally someone thinks the same," "Haley says I'm a gloomy person-"

" No, you're not." Liam interrupted. Was he defending me? And why did he sound so understanding? Did he go through a rough experience too?

"She is a very happy person therefore she believes in the whole crap about A new day means a new beginning, but it doesn't work that way. The truth is you can't forget something quickly, it takes time."

"True. I still haven't got over what she did to my father, and it has been more than a decade," Liam said with an angry expression on his face. More than a decade and he still couldn't refer to her as his mother. I admit I would hate my own mother if she did anything like that to my Dad, but how could someone so lovable and kind be so unforgiving?
