P.S. I love you (a Beatles FanFic)

07

The next morning

I didn't wake up at all last night until this morning. When I awoke, I felt better, but my eye still hurt from the punch. As I was slowly opening my eyes, I heard footsteps come rushing to me.
"Anna! Oh Anna, love, I thought you would never wake up. I didn't know what to do with myself. I thought I lost you right there. I wish I could've helped you..." John was stressed out more than ever. It looked like he didn't sleep at all because of me. He really cares about me.
"John, there's no need to worry about me, I'm fine--" I was getting up from the couch I was laying on but John pushed me back. "Please don't get up. I don't want you hurting more than you are now."
"Okay, just please, don't worry about me so much. Have you seen yourself? You haven't slept a blink because of caring so much about me." John sighed, knowing that I didn't want him babying me with everything. I can take care of myself, now, can I?
"I just want you to feel at home and safe. I will always care about you even if I don't need to." He simply smiled at me, and me doing the same.
"I told you, I feel fine. It's just that my eye hurts a little, but I feel much better than last night."
"Okay, I'm glad to hear that." John kissed my forehead and got up to leave, when I called to him, "John?"
"Yes, love?"
"Were you the one that saved me in the hallway?" John sighed, knowing that I would ask this question.
"Sadly, no. Paul was going to the loo when he suddenly heard a scream. He had to save you because who knows what that bloody swine would've done to you if Paul wasn't there. He's really worried about you. Well, all five of us are worried, but Paul's been bugging me all night asking if you're alright. I was checking on you every hour to see if you're still breathing."
"Oh John," I let out a small giggle thinking about how Paul was so worried about me, "You didn't have to keep checking on me."
"But I wanted to." I smiled at the thought how everyone seems to care about me, even if we haven't known each other for a long while.
"Could you send Paul down here, please? I would really appreciate it if I could talk to him."
"Anything for a pretty lady like you." John winked at me and after that, he was off to going up the stairs to Paul's room before I, once again, interrupted his action by calling his name once more.
"Yes, Anna?" He sounded a little annoyed since I called him for the second time, but I'm sure he didn't mind much.
"I love you, John." I simply said, hiding half my face underneath the blanket that was on me just so he won't see me blushing tomato red. He hesitated replying back to me, probably because he was in such shock from what I just said to him.
"I- I love you, too, Anna." A small blush creeped on his face, too because of what he just told me. After that, he was off to get Paul from his room.

Paul's P.O.V.

I couldn't wait any longer. Anna is a delicate girl, yet so beautiful and I care so much about her. I would do anything for her; I just want her to be safe. After waiting what seemed like all day, I heard a weak knock on my door. It slowly opened and from behind the door out popped John's head. I wonder what he had to say to me. If it was about Anna, I couldn't be more anxious to see how she's doing.
"Hey Macca. Anna told me to call you over. She said she wants to talk to you. Wouldn't want to keep her waiting." A slight smirk formed on his face, which to my liking, was not something to laugh about. I was very worried about Anna, and there's nothing to laugh about her health.
"Oh...uh..yeah..hi. Anna wants to see me? I- I'll be right down." I didn't know what to say. I was very shocked that Anna wants to see me, but anything that she wishes, I will do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I slowly, but impatiently went down the stairs. I could see Anna quietly laying on the couch, waiting for me to come.
"Anna?" Her head struck up from the couch and once she saw me, she was shifting to a comfortable sitting position to make room for me to sit down next to her.
"Hi Paul." A weak, but warm smile appeared on her face that made me smile, too. Her smiles were so beautiful, just like her. That smile of hers is a contagious one- anyone who looks at it will immediately fall into a better mood. She's a different girl. A special one. But right now, she needs the most help she can get. And I'm the one that's to be there when she needs someone.
" 'Ello. You needed me?" I was now sitting next to her own the couch, a small smile forming on my face.
She thought about it for a moment before she answered, "Actually, yes. I would like to thank you for helping me last night. I didn't know you would want to help me like that." She looked ashamed that I helped her, but I don't understand why a person would be ashamed if someone helped the other. I mean, I know that we haven't know each other for long, but don't friends help each other? As she looked up to me, she noticed I had a scratch on my face.
"Oh Paul... What happened to your face? Did that man hurt you?" The delicate little girl looked as thought she was about to cry.
"What? Oh this- no, no...well...maybe a little, but there's no need to worry. I'm fine. It's just a little scratch." I didn't want her to worry about me because that would stress her out even more, and she doesn't need that right now.
"Oh okay, but I just hope it doesn't hurt."
"Anna," I took her hands in mine and made little circles on her knuckles to make her feel more reassured, "Please don't worry about me. You're not in the best condition, so don't fill your mind with useless thoughts like a little scratch on my face." She just sighed in defeat.
"Okay, but I want to thank you once more. I don't know what could've happened if it wasn't for you."
"It was the least I could do." I said as I gave her a small peck on the cheek, "I just hope you'll feel better soon. Goodbye, Anna"
"Bye, Paul." And with that, I slowly retired back to my room.

Hi my loves!
Thank you so much for 60+ views! You guys are so sweet :D
So maybe some of you thought John came and saved Anna. I thought that Paul could get to know Anna better by saving her, so why not? :D I think this was one of the most interesting chapters I've ever written. What do you think?
