Maggie Mae and her John Lennon (Complete)

Chapter 62

                   Maggie's POV

  I sat up in bed and blinked, wide awake now. "George? Are you ok?" I asked.

      "Yeah...... No, I guess not," he sighed over the receiver.

    I bit my lip telling George to hold on while I put the phone under my pillow before quietly slipping out of bed and into the bathroom slipping another phone inside.

   "What's wrong George?" I worriedly sat on the closed toilet lid.

   "I'm just so lonely right now. Pattie's gone, Lucy's with you...... I feel like I'm losing me mind." He whimpered into the phone.

    "It'll be alright Georgie. But is there anything I can do to help?"

     He was silent for a few minutes. "How about we go on a road trip? Of the USA, just you, Lucy and me?! When's the last time we did anything like that together?" George became more excited with each sentence.

    I sighed and ran a hand over my face. "I don't know George....... I mean, what about Mary and Max?" And John.

     "Isn't Mary with Paul and Linda right now? And can't John watch Max for a bit? Please Maggs. This would mean the world to me darling." He seemed to pour over the phone and I bit my lip.

  "Ok. I can't believe I'm saying this but..... Ok. Yeah, we'll go." I smile as George cheered.

    We discussed travel plans and such for a few minutes before biding each other goodbye.

   I crawled into bed and felt John pull me against him. "You should know by now baby, I was never a light sleeper." John's breath ticked my neck.

   I turned to face him in the dark and could barely make out his face. "Well, are you going to try to stop me?"

    "Actually no. I know how he feels. I had that feeling a few times in my life. Especially when the band broke up. But you three need to bond. And, Yoko has been pestering me to come up to New York. It'd give Sean and Max some bonding time as well." John admitted kissing the top of my head. "I trust you love. Because I know, in the end, you and I are meant to be...." John sounded like he was smiling before he captured my lips passionately.

  But why did I have this feeling in my gut that this trip would change everything?
