Distance- A Beatles/Lennison Fanfic

Chapter Twenty-nine - fingers crossed

Paul was curious, to say the least, what could the plan be? he had to wait a few minutes longer in order for his response to being answered 

Rings- Summer is coming up, we'll travel over and just get them to talk y'know? see if they can rekindle their spark. Yes, eventually John will have to leave again but summer is much longer than just a week, then they can find out how to really work towards the relationship 

Paul- Love it! 

Ringo looked down at his phone, chuckling and pleased that Paul had supported his idea "what lame video are you laughing at now Rings?" John said from across the room, buried in paperwork "oh the er erm, you know the one where the..kid falls in a hole?" John looked at him confused with squinted eyes "you watch some weird shit y'know Rings" "if only you knew what was going on" Ringo thought to himself, however, changed the subject so John wouldn't get suspicious of anything. "So how are you getting on with that work en?" John let out a big sigh "fucking awful, I don't understand any of it. George always used to help me and it would be fine" John said, mumbling that last part, yet unlucky for John, Ringo still heard "I mean I'm no George but I can help" "but he taught me in a special way the only way I understand" John whined and slumped further into the armchair "oh.." "I'm such a fucking idiot for breaking up with him, he needed me y'know? and I need him but I just pushed him away" "but it's like you said, it's only a break, not forever" "ERGHHH" John grumbled loudly "whatever, fuck everything"  John grumbled and marched upstairs to his room. He knew how bad he would feel, but the break up is already so fresh yet so painful, little as two days ago they were sending messages full of heartfelt but now greeted to none. None from him, none from his lover. All he could do was keep his fingers crossed in hoping that things would improve for them.

George walked extra slowly home, which didn't make much difference because George only lived a block away from Paul. As soon as he entered the house he was greeted by his elder brother. " a bit early isn't it baby bro?" Harry said, looking at the time, seeing that school didn't finish for at least another three hours. George gave a shrug and started walking up the stairs "wait, cmon George please don't shut me out. What's up?" George didn't say anything, he didn't want to say it. A little part of him thought that if he didn't say it out loud, it wouldn't be true. "are..are you and John having troubles?" "there is no John and me anymore." George sharply and bluntly put yet his voice still having a crack to it and carried on making his way upstairs and into his room, already feeling bad for snapping.

Trying to drown his thoughts out, toxic thoughts. The only person that could get rid of those thoughts properly was John, but there was no John anymore. He knew he wasn't enough for John. When John first asked him out he had "promised" George that they would make it work out, yet it didn't. He felt like he wasn't enough for it, but a part of him had his fingers crossed that his mind was just spreading negative lies. Little did he know that the two had their fingers crossed for each other.
