The world that surrounds me is beautiful beyond words. I gaze all around. I'm blown away, left speechless. This beautiful world has sucked me in and I don't ever want to leave.

George's POV

I can't believe nothing has happened yet. There has been no movement from the double doors. She's still in ICU and I still can't see her. My nails have been bitten to stubs. I haven't eaten in probably three days but who's counting. I lost all track of time, all basic consciousness-need for food, need to use the loo, drink-from the moment I received that call from Oscar.

Paul's POV

George looks like shit. His clothes are all wrinkly, his hair a rumpled mess. John and I approach him and Ringo. They stand when we get closer. George's eyes are red. He must have been crying. In all the years I've known him, I've never seen him cry, come to think of it. I wrap him up in a hug and squeeze him tight. His face shows graciousness when he sees John and me. He thanks us for coming. When George looks away, I turn to Ringo who shrugs his shoulders and slightly shakes his head. Well I guess nothing yet. Nothing good anyways.

John's POV

I've come to really like Kara. The few encounters I have had with her, have been splendid. She's a real delight. Whatever happened to her, if she doesn't get better... I shake my head trying to push the thought away. She'll get better. She has to. For George's sake. If I think I'll be a mess if she doesn't heal, I can only imagine George. Delicate, beautiful, lovingly tender George. He'd be done for sure. He hasn't said it out loud but we all know he loves her. Ringo has told us George has hinted that he intends to marry her some day. My heart is happy for them. They deserve each other. He's got just the love and attention she needs and she's got the spunk and beauty that he needs. They fit so perfectly together. I sit next to Paul as we wait in silence. Wait for a doctor, a nurse, something, anything.

Ringo's POV

I feel bad for George. No person should ever have to go through this. George is so easily breakable. Unfortunately, he has fallen for someone who breaks even easier. I'm not saying I don't like her. She's a fascination. I adore her. She's a great gal and she wound up with a great guy but I just worry. As a best friend, I hope George can handle things with her. For instance, if she doesn't pull through. When George had gone to the loo one time, I talked to the doctor and he had said chances if her making it had taken a bit of a nose dive. Going from 60% chance to about 20% chance. She had lost a lot of blood and there was still this unknown poison running rampant through her system. I told the doctor that I would relay the message to George but I haven't yet. I just can't bring myself to give someone such terrible news. I turn to look to him sitting next to me. Poor guy has been through hell with this girl. But any man who has gone through what he's gone through with her, and still stays firmly by her side? That man is alright in my book. It shows he truly cares for her and loves her very much. I put my hand on his back and keep it still. He doesn't make any movement under my touch but I want to make sure he knows we're here for him. Always.
