Chapter 46

Alice's P.O.V

February 8, 1972

We got up real early that morning so that we could get a start to our first tour. Our first show wasn't until tomorrow but we figured it was best to head out this morning. I was trying to zip up my suitcase when Paul came into the room.

"Are the girls up yet?" I asked

"Yeah. Helen woke them up and they're just about finished packing" Paul said. I nodded and tried to zip up my suitcase.

"Do you need some help, love?" Paul asked

"Yes please" I said. Paul walked over to me and eyed my suitcase.

"How many clothes do you have in there?" Paul asked

"I've got my regular clothes and then my stage clothes" I said

"Stage clothes?" Paul asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah. Mabel's friend designed them for me. Can you sit on the suitcase please?" I asked. Paul nodded and sat on top of the suitcase.

"I can't wait to see you in your stage clothes. I'll bet you look sexy" Paul said. I smirked at him and managed to get my suitcase zipped up.

"Alright. I'm ready to go. Dad offered to drive us to the hotel" I said

"Are you sure he's willing to drive us all the way to Nottingham?" Paul asked

"I'm his little girl. He'd do anything for me" I said. Paul smiled and gave me a kiss.

"I'll take your bag to the car. You get the girls" Paul said. Paul went downstairs while I went to the girls room.

"Are you girls ready? It's going to be a long drive" I asked

"We're ready mommy" Ethel said

"Alright. Daddy's waiting downstairs" I said. Ethel left her room, dragging her suitcase behind her.

"Your father has Mary and Stella in the car. He's just waiting for us" Helen said

"Alright" I said. Helen and I made our way outside. Martha was patiently waiting for us just outside the door.

"You didn't think we'd be forgetting about you, did you Martha?" I said to her. She wagged her tail, ran to the vehicle and hopped inside. I noticed that my dad had borrowed his friends van so we could have more room for everyone. Helen got in the very back where the kids and Martha were. I sat next to Paul in the middle seats. Dad and Mabel were seated at the front.

"Is everyone ready to go?" dad asked. I looked to Paul and smiled. He smiled in return and grabbed my hand.

"We're ready" I said

"Love, we're at the hotel" Paul whispered in my ear. His whispering managed to wake me up. I lifted my head and looked at him.

"We are?" I said with a yawn. Paul nodded in response. Martha hopped out of the van first. Helen then stepped out first and helped the girls get out. I was next to get out and then finally Paul. He grabbed all the bags.
