The Beatles Through History

Chapter 10

George hurried out of the taxi and up to the McCartney's household. He rapped on the door quickly. Finally it was answered by Jim, who greeted him kindly.

"I have to see John now!" George said as soon as he opened the door.

"Alright, he's upstiars. Is something wrong?"

"Yes, Paul is back at the hotel, he looks terrible. I need too talk to John."

"Let me get him. You have a seat."

George uneasily sat down and waited. As soon as John came in he stood up.

"John."

"Whats wrong George?" John sat down.

"Its Paul, and some RIngo."

"Whats wrong."

"First, Ringo and Paul are both in the hospital. Paul its himself. Ringo is well, getting better."

"Why is Paul...not himself?"

"You should have seen him. His shirt was bloody, but the cut was healed, his eye was all swollen, and he looked like he was in pain."

"Why isn't that himself?"

"Regressed."

"What?"

"Yeah."

"How do you know?"

"Well, i don't, but he...i don't know, the doctors said he regressed dramatically...they think its bizarre."

"One minute." John stood up and picked up the phone.

"Hello? Julia? Yes, its John...sorry but i've been busy...my friends are in the hospital...yeah...John?...where is he?...run away?...when?...aren't you worried?...no?...When did he run away?...this morning...no i haven't seen him, if i do i will phone you, and get a hold of him...thanks...if he does come back...what?...what does it say?"

George came up from behind and tried to listen. 

"What? Well where do you think he is? At the hotel. I will phone it, Julia...don't worry...my friend will look for him...your welcome...love you too." John felt sorrow pour over him when he said that. He put the phone down then picked it up and dialed the hotel room.

"What now?" George asked.

John held a finger up to silence him. "Hey, Newkirk!...George is here, how are you all?...fine...hey, my mum, i mean yeah well anyways, I, she, her son, John, ran away, he came looking for me, so be on the look out for him. Right. Okay...thanks!...what?...He did?...thanks to him! Now just tell LeBeau to tell Johnny that i will be, no wait! put him on.......John?...Whats wrong?...Ill be over...see ya." John put the phone down.

"Well?" George asked.

"Ill be back, i mean im going back to the hotel. John wants to ask me something in private."

George began laughing. "Why cant you guys communicate in your heads, you are the same people anyways."

John glated at George. "Go see if RIngo or Paul is alright, okay?"

"Fine."

"Good morning John!" Mike said when he came downstairs.

"Hello Mikey! This is my friend George."

"Hi, wheres your friend Paul?"

"At the hospital."

"Uh oh, is he okay?"

"Yes."

Mary came down holding Paul, he looked worst then last night. 

"My friend is at the hospital." John told her.
