What Is Life? - A George Harrison FanFic

Chapter 6

A/n: The song that inspires the song George "writes"about Lauren is "For You Blue" off their Let It Be album. I am aware this doesn't fit the timeline but I thought it would be a perfect song to use. Listen to it when you get to the middle of the chapter, it is George singing :)

Ringo hopped into George's car and drove us to the studio while he kept his arm around me in the back seat.

"Where are the others?" I asked forgetting that George had said he wanted to teach them his new song.

"Waiting for us," he said, "they needed somewhere to go to not attract attention and it wasn't too far down the road."

Right on cue Ringo pulled up to the building and we all got out.

"Thanks for staying with George, Ring." I said giving him a hug, "you're kindness and calm nature has been very appreciated."

"I couldn't let the kid be alone, he would have gone mad," he winked at me and went inside to join the others.

George and I stood outside, needing a moment.

"The others," he said "they gave me a hard time once we left your hotel room, I didn't tell them my feelings for you and they kept their composure in front of you due to the sensitive nature of the news, but..."

"All bets are off now?" I finished his thought in the form of a question.

"Exactly," he said, "so please be sure about this."

"I've never been more sure about anything. If I learned anything today," I whispered to fight back the tears, "it's that you only live once, and your not promised tomorrow. I met you for a reason George and I don't want to let this go."

"We have a lot to discuss, I know," he responded, "but this does feel right and I've never felt more alive than when I'm with you. There will be time to sort things out on what comes next but for tonight, with my friends, my brothers and Cynthia, let's just enjoy what this is."

I nodded and followed him inside.

"There's the happy couple," Paul said as he strummed his Bass guitar on the one side of the studio.

"Ringo just filled us in," John said eyeing us up and down.

"Come in," Cynthia came and grabbed my arm, "us wives and girlfriends are allowed to sit over here and watch," she sat me down.

"Cyn," George said, " I was thinking she could sit over by..."

"Don't be silly," she cut him off, "rules don't change for you now that you have this beautiful girlfriend. I've been sitting over here in the corner since I was just John's girlfriend."

"Yeah, because John wants you in the corner," Paul said to her and everyone laughed including Cynthia.

"Fine," George said, "but come on let's all have a good time tonight, in honor of Darry and for Lauren."

"To Darry." John said into his microphone and they started playing a song, practicing. I hadn't heard much of their music and I was in awe at how cohesive they played as a group. They really we're so comfortable with each other and sounded amazing.

I decided to get into it and stood up and danced and even grabbed Cynthia's hands and pulled her up with me. John and Paul did all the singing and George was so sexy with his guitar and the solos he was doing. Ringo seemed to know what he was doing more than anyone else there on his drum set and not once did they stop and tell him how to play something, it just was natural.

After going through a whole set list Ringo brought up George's song.

"Guys," he said "George told me he has a song he wrote."

"Do ya now," Paul walked over to him, "do tell, is it a love song?" And George stood up and started playing the song without singing any words.

"That's a sick riff," John said to him and then Ringo just naturally started playing to the beat and it sounded amazing.

"Okay how do you want me to play the bass for you?" Paul asked next and within minutes they were jamming.

"This ones for you Lo," he called me by a nickname and then he got to the microphone and started to sing.

I started to tear up as I watched him, he sang every word directly to me.

It was a song about how he felt sad and blue and because of me he was saved, he was back to being himself. It was quick and catchy and melted my heart completely. I went over and hugged him and sat in his lap.
