I Need You

Chapter 30 - Please Please Me

Lauren

I had listened to my dream George and decided on going to see him today. To make amends. If he rejected me, I'll stay out of his life forever.

I finished making breakfast for Paul and I and set the plates full of eggs and bacon down on the table.

Just a form of a thank you. For putting up with me.

I left a note for Paul on the table and headed for George's flat.

I wore the same outfit again, for the 7th day in a row. I felt so grimy in the dirty clothes, and there was a rip on the back of my shirt where George had slammed me into the brick wall.

Those memories haunted my conscience and I shivered. I've never liked to see George drunk, and violent. When we got drunk, we got drunk together.

My stomach was tumbling in nervousness, and I was starting to have second thoughts about this.

I know he's not going to take me back, he hates me. But if he doesn't hate me, he doesn't love me. You'd expect me not to keep trying to make things right after last night when he had hurt me, and I have the bruises on my arms to prove it, and still love him more than ever.

I felt slightly dizzy, with all these thoughts bouncing around in my throbbing head.

I remember what Ringo had told me when I spoke to him last night in my sobbing stupor.

'It's alright, George'll realize what he's missin' and will run back to ye.'

I sniffled a bit.

I'm insane... A lovesick puppy. But it's all my fault we're not together anymore- so I need to make things better.

I reached George's flat and I felt faint.

Do it! Don't faint! Tell George you love him and the truth!

I brought my arm up to the door and knocked. I heard footsteps and I felt myself getting lightheaded.

Someone opened the door and I saw him. And then everything went black.

George

I stumbled over to the door, putting down my bottle and opened the door.

It's her!

I saw Lau's beautiful face for a second and then she fell over.

Holy fuck!

I picked her up and carried her in my arms and set her down on the couch. I sat there, stroking my beautiful Lauren's hair.

I want her to come back to me..... Then I'll make it happen. Once she wakes up I'll woo her.

She stirred a bit and I saw those beautiful eyes open.

"Oh my god." She whispered.
