I Need You

Chapter 26 - Cry Baby Cry

Lauren

While George was driving it started to pour rain. Tears were glistening on my cheeks and I choked on my sobs.

"It'll be alright Lau." He kissed my hand, and rubbed soothing circles with his thumb on the back of my hand.

"I h-hope so. I-I r-really want y-ye g-guys to m-make it b-big." I stutter.

George smiled my favorite crooked smile of his.

"We will. Our album is comin' out in the new year." He said, smiling.

I beamed though my tears and for a moment; I forgot about what had just happened minutes ago.

"No matter what, I'll be there for ya, George. I promise." I said.

"I'll always be there for ya too. Forever. Through thick and thin. And I won't ever let anyone try to steal me girl."

I smiled, and I turned my head away to face the window. My heart started to pound in fear when I saw Paul in a car right behind us.

Don't panic, don't alarm George. I'll deal with Paul later.

I turned my head again and cleared my face of any traces of panic, and tried to calm myself down.

I bet George can hear my heartbeat, it's beating like Ringo's drums in my ears.

George looked at me weirdly.

"Are ye ok Lau? Yer heart is beatin' frantically." He said.

"What?I'm not really upset anymore." I said, my voice steady.

"I feel yer pulse on yer wrist. Tell me." George said, raising a brow.

I gulped.

"It's nothing. I'm just rememberin' the scuffle ye two had. It made me extremely scared." I said, not half lying.

"No don't worry love. I'll protect ye." George pecked my lips and I blushed.

"I hope so..." I muttered to myself.

We pulled up into the driveway and we got out of the car, and walked into out flat.

I saw Paul pull up by the side walk and I stayed outside.

"Aren't ya gonna come in, Lau? It's cold." George asked.

"Um yeah! I'll be right there. I just need to get something out of the trunk." I said.

I walked over to Paul's car and flung the car door open and pulled him out, as I realized I was getting soaked.

"What the 'ell are ye up to Paul? Followin' me?!" I screeched.

"I needed to say I'm sorry Lau. I didn't mean to almost choke George and I just wanted to do this."

"What?"

Paul smashed his lips onto mine and I jumped.

The rain pelted us and I heard someone yell my name.

I pushed Paul away in horror.

George walked over, soaked to the bone as we were.

"So what ye said was a lie eh?! Ya only had eyes for Paul!" George yelled.

No no no!!!

"No please George, Paul came onto me and until I knew what was happenin' I pushed 'im off of me!" I begged him, now hysterical.

George laughed.

"Yeah right! Ye obviously didn't want 'im to stop fuckin' kissin' ye! Don't deny it Lau! Ye didn't try to stop it! We're through! And forget the fuckin' promise rings and that I said I loved ye!" George yelled and walked back into the flat we once had shared.

"No! George! please!" I screamed hysterically and Paul held me back.

"Paul! I hate ye!" I pounded on his chest.

I stopped pounding on his chest and started to sob into his chest.

George... I'm so sorry...
