I Need You

Chapter 25 - You Won't See Me

Lauren

George scowled.

Please stop Paul!

"She didn't feel like comin' today." George said through gritted teeth.

"Oh why? Controllin' boyfriend much?" Paul sneered

My hand flew up to my mouth in shock.

George's jaw was protruding slightly and his eyes were totally black- it wasn't hard to notice.

"Ok calm down mate." John intervened.

"Yeah calm down Paul." George snorted.

"No! I won't fuckin' calm down! Just because I took 'er out to lunch doesn't mean ye 'ave to get all pissy and demand 'er not to 'ave contact with me!" Paul said, infuriated.

George set his guitar down and took a step up to Paul.

"Remember yer place McCartney. She's MINE and always will be! Ye may 'ave snagged all of me other girlfriends in the past but I won't let ye steal Lau!" George yelled in his face.

"Watch me." Paul spat in his face.

Everything from there was in slow motion. George had lunged at Paul and punches were flying.

No!

I ran out of the sound box and into the recording area yelling for them to stop.

Paul looked up and I saw George in a headlock from Paul and he was turning red.

"Paul stop it! Let him go!" I cried, rushing over to George's aid.

Paul dropped George and he fell to the ground, gasping for air.

"George!" I yelped.

George looked up at me and grabbed my hand.

"Thank- ye." He wheezed.

I looked up at Paul with the angriest glare I could muster.

"I hate ya Paul McCartney! Never ever come near me or George again!" I screamed.

Paul's eyes filled with sadness and his expression fell.

"I'll never be yers." I spat.

Paul's eyes hardened for a moment then returned to the sorrow filled gaze that was new.

George stood up and grabbed my hand.

"See ye at the release of the record Paul." George seethed.

George stormed out of Abbey Road Studios, dragging me along side him.

Tears were rolling down my cheeks and I stifled a sob.

George stopped and looked at me. He brought his hand up to my cheek and caressed it.

"No tears, Lau. Not for him." He softly said.

"Wait! Lauren!" I heard, I snapped my head over and saw Paul running towards me.

George grabbed my arm and ran to the car with me dragging behind him.

"NO GEORGE!" Paul yelled, and he grabbed my other arm.

George was pulling my left arm and Paul was pulling my right.

"Stop!" I yelped.

"Don't play tug of war- over me." I begged them.

I looked at George and he held my hand.

"Please Paul- don't ever talk to me." I whimpered.

I looked into Paul's eyes and shook my head.

"But Lau-"

"No. What ye did to George was unforgivable. Ya won't see me." I said, turning around and George and I walked to the car.

I heaved a sob, and George cradled me.
