Paul

He took a sip of his coffee and raked a hand through his hair. He looked at Ringo with distaste  and slammed his cup down.

"You need to control that boy." Paul said and Ringo looked perplexed.

"I can't control him! He didn't give me this black eye on purpose, he isn't attacking George today, he's somehow not attacking me today, it's a miracle that none of us are dead." Ringo growled and looked down when he saw a glimpse of Paul's startled face.

"Let me see your eye." Paul said and tilted the man's head up to get a good look at his blue eyes. The left one was surrounded by a purplish bruise around it.

It wasn't swelling but it looked like it hurt. Ringo gulped and pulled Paul's hand away from his face.

The younger man felt tears start to swim in his eyes. John couldn't do this. Especially to the person he called his soulmate.

"He did this?" Paul asked and Ringo nodded.

"He didn't mean it though-" Ringo had began to say. And for the first time, he was right. John had swung his hand back but he didn't know he was behind him. When he heard the thud and saw Ringo throw his hand up to his eye, John had collapsed next to him and kissed over his face, apologizing like there was no tomorrow.

"I don't care if he didn't mean it. He shouldn't have hit you." Paul said and examined the man's eye once again.

"It doesn't matter!" Ringo spat and Paul pulled back. "We just need to find out where the fuck our instruments are."

"Bastard probably sold them off for all we know." Paul huffed and stirred his coffee with his finger. It burned but it wasn't bothering him.

"No, he wouldn't. He's not crazy enough." Ringo muttered to himself and took a sip of his cold tea.

"Not in your eyes anyways." Paul said and got up from his chair.

Ringo looked down at his watch. Their break time was over.

"John's not crazy. For all we know he could've gotten over it by now." Ringo offered and frowned immediately after.

Deep inside he knew that was a lie.

They'd have to go a whole day without planning for their album.
