Yesterday I had my graduation.
Whohoo class of 2018!
Anyway enjoy the chapter!
Ringo closed his eyes and braced for impact. He stood there waiting but the impact never came.
Ringo opened his eyes to see John and George grabbing Paul's arms holding him back.
Paul himself was trying to get free from George and John. Paul had tears in his eyes and was glaring at Ringo maliciously.
"How could you!" Paul screamed with tears finally escaping his eyes.
"How could you betray me and vandalize my truck?!"
Ringo wanted to tell Paul that it wasn't him. Ringo could never do a thing like that. Ringo wanted to tell Paul many things but somehow he struggled to come up with words.
"I-I um I" Ringo couldn't speak because he was starting to feel that horrible feeling that he hated so much. That horrible feeling of where you're about to cry. Ringo held the tears in though because Ringo had already gotten used to that horrible feeling.
Paul was a different story. Paul had tears streaming down his rosy cheeks.
His cheerful smile seemed like it happened years ago.
Eventually Paul stopped resisting and fell to his knees. He wyped his tears away and sniffled. John bent down and wrapped his arms around the bassist and gave him a comforting hug. George just looked at Ringo with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Why would you do something like this?" Paul said with his voice cracking.
" You have to believe me when I say I didn't do this!" Ringo said his voice heavy with desperation.
"Oh yeah? Explain the spray paint bottle! Explain R.S.! Explain it!" Paul said raising his voice.
"Macca calm down please" John said getting worried.
Paul ignored John and continued to yell at Ringo.
"Explain all this Ringo!"
"I-I don't know I d-didn't do this-" Ringo spoke trying to stick up for himself.
"Yes you did! Who else could have done it Ringo?! Nobody! You did it!"
" If Ringo says he didn't do it then he didn't do it!" George inturupted.
All went quiet and Paul glared at him.
"Why do you believe him?" Paul spoke calmly.
" Because Ringo is honest. Ringo is honest even if it risks him everything. He is honest even if he loses his friends, his family, his reputation, his respect. Ringo is also innocent and kind. Ringo doesn't have a single bone in his body to do something like this. Ringo was nervous to come tonight. Why? Because he wanted to be friends. That's all he wanted. Was to be your friend."
George said without a hint of doubt in his voice.
John spoke up as well. " Yeah George is right. Ringo doesn't have a bone in his body to do something like this."
John tried to smile but it was too hard.
Paul looked at Ringo with a disappointed look on his face. Not disappointed at Ringo but at himself. Paul stood up and wispered
"I'm so sorry."
Paul and Ringo walked toward eachother. Then they immediately wrapped their arms around eachother in a big hug. Paul started to silently cry with his tears falling on Ringo's back. Ringo honestly didn't care at all, he just hugged Paul harder.
Paul pulled back and wispered but the other three could hear. "Do you forgive me?"
Ringo nodded because if he spoke he might have cried harder than Paul.
Ringo walked over to George and sadly smiled. George spoke softly
" c'mere" George wrapped his arms around the drummer's back and put his head on Ringo's. Ringo put his head on George's chest and his arms around his torso.
"I'm proud of you no matter what. Don't forget that. Ever." George said so only Ringo could hear.
Ringo pulled back and smiled at George. It seemed like he hadn't smiled in forever.
John came over to the two. "Hey Ringo could I speak to you?"
George gave a reassuring smile to Ringo and walked over to Paul.
"First of all are you alright?" John asked once George was out of earshot.
Ringo nodded.
"Good. Second I knew from the beginning it wasn't you."
"What?!" Ringo said raising his voice.
"Shhh!" John said putting his finger up to his mouth telling Ringo to be quite.
"How did you know?" Ringo asked quietly this time.
" Well Ringo you aren't that intimidating and violent so it was easy. But once I saw that R.S. I didn't immediately think of you. I thought of Rory. Rory Storm."
"Oh my God!" Ringo spoke loudly.
"Shhh!" John said once again.
"Wait why are we being quite?" Ringo asked confused.
"Because I'm going to teach that son of a Bitch a lesson tonight." John spoke getting angry.
"No John dont!" Ringo pleaded. "Why not? I don't want that bastard to get away with hurting my friends!" John spoke angrily.
"Because no matter how much you effort you put he won't stop. John if you do something it will only make him angrier. He will continue to hurt us. Please don't do something you will regret." Ringo begged.
"Alright fine but if he does something to hurt you, Paul or George in any way I won't hesitate to kick his ass!" John said and Ringo gave him a hug.
John laughed and hugged him back.
" You sure are a hugger aren't you?"
John and Ringo walked over to Paul and George. Paul still had tears streaming down his face.
" My dad's gonna kill me"
"So? Who cares what he thinks? Honestly Macca life is too short to be worrying about what your old man thinks." John said putting his arm around the bassist.
"Hey George you still have that pack of cigarettes?" John asked George. George nodded and gave the pack to John. John took four and lit them. Then he gave one to the other three.
"Paul why don't you do the honors?" John asked and looked at the truck.
Paul looked at the cigarette worridly but then looked at his friends. If anything happened with his dad he could always count on his friends.
Paul threw the cigarette onto the bed of the truck. Soon John, George and Ringo did the same.
Eventually the truck went into flames.
George spoke up
"Lads let's go before someone finds us."
Guys I went to the doctor today because my throat was hurting and turns out I have strep throat.
Yay.
Anyway hope you enjoyed.♡
