The boys made their way to John's house and had a lovely time, they played a draft of a song that Paul wrote, they played Elvis and danced all around John's room, and everything seemed grand until John looked at his watch.
"Shit! Mimi is going to be home any minute now!" John said fearfully, as he knew that Mimi would take away his guitar seeing that he was skipping school. She was a very strict woman, unlike his mother, which he missed dearly. Paul was scrambling to put his guitar in his case and throw his bag together. The boys were frantically running around John's room until they froze at the sound of the front door opening. Then there was footsteps going up the stairs to John's room. "Better just me then both of us" John whispered at Paul, who was confused at this statement. John pointed the window as Paul nodded and started to run over and climb out. John heard a thump and a moan outside his window and cringed knowing that was Paul hitting the ground, but he couldn't check on him now because Mimi was already opened John's door.
"John Winston Lennon!" Mimi spat.
"Skipping school?" She said aggressively.
"I'm taking your guitar and your grounded to your room for today and tomorrow!" She shouted as she snatched the guitar and stormed out of the room. John could heat her fast footsteps walking down the hall.
"Fuck off!" He shouted with hatred in his throat. He heard a gasp as the footsteps stopped, and then Mimi just kept walking down the stairs even more fast and aggressively. She grounded me on Friday night and a whole Saturday? John thought. After a couple minutes, John was getting extremely bored. Without his guitar, there was nothing he could really do except sit there and wait for the night to pass. He was about to get into bed until he saw a small notebook by the window. Probably a school notebook that fell out of Paul's bag he thought. So he got up and grabbed it, but there was the initials JL and PM carved into it, he knew the PM stranded for Paul McCartney but what did the JL stand for? Perhaps Jane Lincoln or some dumb name like that, Maybe a new bird Paul met. Now that John thought about it, he realized Paul never talked about his love life around John, so he probably didn't want John to read about his love life with this J girl. John just put it on his desk and crawled into bed, but he couldn't sleep. There was nothing else to do in the room but read that journal. After about an hour or so, the curiosity got the best of him, so he jumped out of bed, sat down at his desk, and slowly and carefully grabbed Paul's notebook. The old and warn down edges showed that Paul had had this for a while. He opened the notebook and started reading;
Today, he looked at me, smiled, and put his arm around me. It made me jump out of my skin and shiver all over my body. I ran into the restroom just to write about it.  
Was Paul queer? John thought, As he hung his mouth open, almost afraid but still excited to continue reading. He kinda assumed Paul was queer the first day he saw him, he did hangout with the queer kids, anyways. So, John kept reading, eagerly to see who Paul was queer for;
Today he called my that name that dabbles a red blush all over me; "princess", although it's teasing, I don't know why, but I love it, oh, how I want him to be mine and for him to call me that when I wake up next to him...
It hit him hard in the face, he was the only one who called princess. Paul was writing about John. Paul was queer for me? John thought. He gaped his mouth open and felt his stomach twist into a knot.
