"Morning."

I walk downstairs into the kitchen in Paul's shirt. Paul turns his attention to me as I yawn.

"Morning. We're leaving very soon, so please go get ready." Paul turns back to his cup of tea, stirring it as he fixes his shirt sleeves.

I nod and head back upstairs, restless from yesterday and frustrated at John. Even if he is in the right, I wish he wouldn't bother Paul and I anymore.

I walk into the bedroom and grab a plum coloured dress. Its shorter than I would normally wear, but I think its appropriate. I put my hair up into a ponytail and check my face in the mirror. I pucker my lips and laugh a little.

"I'll be in the car." Paul announces from the hall, and I hear the door open. I quickly run downstairs, slip on my shoes and a coat.

I open the door, and look at the snow outside before heading into the passenger's seat of Paul's car. I hope today goes well.

"Sorry." I say. I put my seatbelt on as Paul starts the car.

He reverses out, looking around and begins to drive. I look out the window as he drives around country roads. I wonder if Paul is upset.

"What's wrong?" I ask. Paul coughs a bit before responding.

"I'm trying to focus on driving, Carol."

I look at Paul and laugh.

"Excuse me?" I say, causing Paul to look at me.

"Did I stutter?" Paul says, and I blink a few times. Is Paul really going to start something?

"Forget I asked." I say, turning my attention back to the road and the snow.

"Let's get into the studio." Paul doesn't even stop to say hello as he rushes into the booth. Ringo follows him as George eyes me. I smile a bit as he chuckles.

"What's with him?"

"I don't know. He's in a sour mood." I urge George to go into the booth as he smiles.

"I've been invited to a party tonight and I need a date."

"George." I say, sternly.

"As a friend, of course." He smiles a bit more as I look away.

"I'll let you know. Hurry up." I begin to laugh as George leaves quickly. I decide to sit in a chair across the window to the studio. Looking inside, I spot Paul. He's on his bass already, and isn't talking to George or Ringo. I can't help but wonder where John is.

"Alright boys, let's get started. This record has to be out soon as your film is going to help promote sales." Brian speaks into a microphone for the boys to hear inside. I can't hear anything going on because I don't have a headset on. I decide to go for a walk outside.

I exit the building, welcoming the cold air as I fix my hair. I take a look around and spot a record store not too far from here. As I make my way towards the shop, a hand holds my arm. I quickly turn around - ready to scream - and see John in a large coat and hat to cover his face. Why is he out here?

"John-"

"Shut up. Just follow me, would ya? We have to fix this problem." John stares at me and I hesitate. I don't want to be with him alone.

"What problem?" I ask, shoving his hand away from my arm.

"Don't play coy, Carol. Paul is upset. We have to fix this - now." I eye John as he speaks. Does he really want to help Paul?
