“I’m coming Anita!”
Louisa was adding lip gloss in her old bedroom when Anita called her to come downstairs. Both her, Louisa, and Brian were going to the Royal Albert Hall tonight for a special event: Concert for George.
It was the first anniversary of the death of musician George Harrison. He had a big impact on people’s lives including the Mays. Many famous rockers from McCartney to Clapton would be there and of course so would Brian. The event was special not only as it was a memorial to one of his idols, but the last day he would have with his daughter before she left for the states. After graduating, she and a friend of hers were studying and living in the US. Both Brian and Anita disliked the thought of Louisa leaving for God knows how long, but they understood that she needed to grow away from who her father was and into who she needed to be.
Louisa rushed down the steps to greet her father and stepmom before leaving out. Louisa wasn’t much one to go out. Her teenage years were wild and she was determined to leave that chapter closed and to make this one different.
“See I’m down and ready to go,” said Louisa a little rushed.
“Of course hon,” said Brian as he kissed Louisa’s head, “you know how Anita is.”
“And what’s that supposed to mean?!?” snarked Anita.
“Nothing darling, now let’s leave before I get in trouble!” her husband joked.
The three rode to where the concert was taking place and entered the theatre. The amount of people there was crazy! So many celebrities and singers that Louisa had only heard of on the radio. She felt overwhelmed yet curious at all the people. Soon after small talk with some celebrities, the family of three for the night took their seats and Ravi Shankar took the stage, saying a traditional Indian prayer. After he finished, the concert began.
It was so amazing and very emotional and as everyone’s attention was on who ever was currently leading the song, Louisa’s attention was on someone else.
There was a boyish looking guy on the acoustic guitar, playing with all his heart and trying to fit in with those around him. Something about him intrigued Louisa. She couldn’t tell if it was how he looked so much like George or if it was how in tune with the music he was,but she could only focus on him.
After the concert ended, Brian turned to his wife and daughter,
“Id like to go back stage and say hello to Olivia if that’s ok with you ladies?”
“Of course,” they both said, nodding in agreement as they made their way backstage.
“Hello there Olivia,” Brian said as he took her hand “beautiful concert tonight, I know George would’ve loved it. Roger and Deb couldn’t make it but they send their love. Also this is my wife Anita...”
Both of them got lost in conversation with Mrs. Harrison and left Louisa in her own little world. Hugging her black sweater, she looked around, eyes wondering to different places until they landed on the guy again. The same guy who she couldn’t take her eyes off of earlier. She quickly mustered up some courage and made her way over to where he was standing.
