George's P.O.V.

I wake up to see Anna sleeping with her head on my bare chest. The fire stopped burning, and it was getting quite cold in the house. I look around and notice that there was a huge mess everywhere. I carefully grabbed a nearby blanket to cover Anna with. I tried to squirm out of her grip on me, hoping I won't wake her.
"Shh...Don't worry, I'm right here." I cooed as she mumbled something in her sleep. Oh, how peaceful and beautiful she looked in her sleep. I wish I could just take her in my arms and never let go of her. No one will hurt her when I'm here. Not on my watch.
I gently caressed her cheek, then got up to make some nice breakfast. If only I could make something more decent than just toast or cereal.

I go into the kitchen, thinking about what I should make for breakfast. It should be something special. Just like her. I want her to feel special, not just some kind of person that a man can fool around with. I sometimes worry how John treated her.
After finally deciding what to make, I head to the fridge and take out all the ingredients needed. Milk, eggs and fresh fruit is what I found in there. I rummaged through the cabinets to find flour, sugar and some salt. I tossed the frying pan onto the stove, turning it on and putting some butter into the pan for it to melt. After making the wet mixture, I pour some of it onto the pan. The sensational smell of sugar slowly fills the air.
After making the first pancake, I started to hear footsteps. Blue eyes pop out from behind the door frame. I happily smile at them.
"Good morning," her voice beautifully sang. " 'Morning, love. 'Ow d'ya sleep? I hope you weren't cold, because the fire burnt out." I stated, jokingly. She shaked her head, "No, no, I was absolutely fine. And how did you sleep? I see you've woken up early for breakfast."
"Um..yeah, yeah. I wanted to surprise you. So, if you don't mind, I'd like to continue." I smiled a toothy smile, "Just go and get ready. Breakfast will be made shortly."
"Okay, I can't stop thinking about it now that you've mentioned it!" She hollered from the stairs as she was going to get dressed.
"Oh, don't be so curious! I promise you, you've never seen better!" I shouted back. With that, I continued to make the pancakes.

"Oh George, you didn't have to do this for me, you know." She whined. "I know," I gently put her hands in mine, "but I wanted to, ya see." I winked at her with a smile. She shyly blushed. Oh, how beautiful she looked when she blushed. I couldn't control myself when I saw her. "Alright, I have practice with the boys at noon, so I better get ready. Ye can come, too, if ya want." I added.
She thought for a moment, worry in her eyes. Why was she so sad? I've been noticing this for a while now, what's wrong with her?
"Um..George? I-I need to tell you something. Something important." My heart started to race. I was beginning to get concerned. Is she pregnant? Is she sick? Did something happen?
Thoughts were running through me. I couldn't think straight.
"Wh-what's wrong, love? How can I help you?" She smiled protectively, "Oh, nothing's wrong, George. It's- it's quite a good thing, if you take it that way. But, George...I- I don't know how to tell you this, but, I got a phone call last night from New York saying that I'm accepted to their school. I have to leave in a week. I'm so sorry, George. I won't be able to go to Hamburg with you and the lads. I wish there was a way, but unfortunately, there isn't."
My heart sank. I couldn't believe it. Anna was leaving for New York to go to school to become a journalist. I didnt know what to think. God knows how long she'll be there. Maybe it's the last I see her.
Tears threatened to fall as my eyes started to sting. I couldn't let Anna go. Not now. Not ever.

"Oh Anna.. That's- that's great to hear." I lied, just to make something positive about it. "I think you'll do great there. It's a pity that you can't go to Hamburg with us though." She just sat there, looking at her plate, when she suddenly stood up and hugged me. She hugged me so tightly as if nothing could tear us apart. I hugged her back, tightly, but carefully, still shocked by what news she had just told me. I took in her smell, the smell that seemed to calm me down for some reason. I let the tears fall, when I realized that she had been sniffling in my ear as well.
I gave her a kiss on the neck, gently stroking her hair.

"George?" She whispered. "Yes, love?" I answered. "Will you and the lads write to me, and call as well? I don't want to be left out, you know." She smiled sadly as she lifted her head from the hug. "Of course we will. And I promise that I will as well. Even every day if I have to." I rubbed my knuckles against her tear-stained cheek.
"I love you, Geo."
"I love you, too, Anna. I always will, even if this kind of situation will break us apart."
