Kelly's P.O.V.
Today's the day Paul leaves for the tour with his band. My mom drove me to the airport along with Connor so I could see Paul off. Even Delilah and Tori tagged along. The Beatles were lined up as I said goodbye to them one at a time. I started with John.
"Are you and Paul gonna be writing more songs during the tour?" I asked. "Yes we are. We'll even be performing them in front of our fans." Said John. I smile and nod as I give John a hug. "So long, John." I said. "Take care of yourself, Kelly, alright?" John said. "I will." I said. Next, I went to George.
"I bet your guitar solos are gonna be amazing for the songs." I said. "Thanks. I work really hard on them as we go along." Said George. I hug him afterwards. "Have a great time, George." I said. "I certainly will, Kelly. We all will." George said. "I believe it." I said. Ringo was the next person I said goodbye to.
"I'll be looking forward to hearing how much of an amazing drummer you are." I said. "That means a lot, thank you." Said Ringo. The two of us hug shortly thereafter. "See you soon, Ringo." I said. "You too, Kelly. Listen for us on the radio." Ringo said. "I'll do that." I said. Finally, it was time to say goodbye to Paul. John taps on my shoulder before I approach my boyfriend. "We'll leave you two alone." He said. The other Beatles step aside. As soon as I made eye contact with Paul, I immediately started crying and trapped him into a super tight hug, and he does the same to me.
"I'm gonna miss you so much!" I sobbed. "Me too, honey pie! It's gonna be a while until we see each other again!" Said Paul as he's on the verge of crying as well. Our hug lasted so much longer than usual. I didn't wanna let my Paulie go. It's almost as if I'll never see him again. After we let go, both of our faces were tear stained.
Paul tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and caressed my face. He then pulls me in for a kiss that lasts longer than the rest of our previous kisses. After we pull away, more tears fall from both of our eyes. "Goodbye, Paul. I love you so much." I said as I continued to cry. "I love you too, Kelly. I promise to call you every day." Paul said through his tears. He gives me one last kiss on my cheek before catching up with his bandmates.

As I watched Kelly catch up with her friends and family, she turns back to me and waves. I wave back to her as both of our faces are still soaked with tears. Kelly then blows me a kiss and I do the same thing.
My bandmates and I board the plane a few minutes later. I looked back at my beautiful girlfriend for what feels like the last time, just so I can take one more look at her pretty face. I wouldn't stop crying after we took our seats. John sat next to me while George and Ringo sat behind us.
John puts a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Be strong, Macca. You don't wanna cry in front of the fans." He said. "I know. But my heart has a hole that can't be fixed, unless I have Kelly here with me." I said. "She may not be here, but she'll always be with you wherever you go." Said George. "Yeah. In your heart." Said Ringo. "Mmm-hmm." I mumbled to myself.
The plane then starts to pull out. I looked out the window as more tears fall from my eyes. "I'll never forget you, Kelly, my darling girlfriend." I said.

I walked over to the window just as Paul's plane took off. One last teardrop falls from my eye. "I'll always love you, Paul, my sweet, sweet boyfriend." I said. My mom approaches me and puts a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Ready to go home, Kelly pie?" She asked. "I guess so." I said. Connor comes over and rubs my back. "I'm gonna miss him too, sis." He said.
As my family and I walked back over to Delilah and Tori, the girls pull me into a hug. "He'll always be with you in your heart." Said Tori. "And you'll be in his." Said Delilah. "You're both right, even though I miss him already." I said.
Hours after getting home. I sat down on the couch and gripped the necklace that Paul gave me last night. I then looked at the bracelet he gave me as well. A lump in my throat was about to appear until I heard the phone rang. I immediately picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, sweetheart!" It was Paul! "Paul! I'm so glad to hear your voice!" I said excitedly. "Me too, love. We just got settled in our hotel and I wanted to check in on you." Said Paul. "I'm glad you did. I was starting to go crazy without you!" I said. "Honestly, I feel the same way. But I made a promise to you that if you can't see me, I'll call you so you can at least hear my voice." Paul said. "That's a good point." I said.
Paul and I talked on the phone for an hour. After hanging up, I went upstairs and got started on another song. This one didn't take a long time to finish since it's a pretty simple song. I then grabbed a video camera and my guitar. I decided to make a video for Paul and send it to him. He gave me the address of where he and his bandmates were staying before our phone conversation ended. So I turned the camera on and pressed record.
"Hi, Paul. I've written another song just now, and I wanna make a video of me singing it. This is for you, sweetheart." I said. I started strumming my guitar and sang my new song.
You tucked me in, turned out the light
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like thatBrushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked backYou had to do it all alone
Make a livin', make a home
Must have been as hard as it could beAnd when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to meCaterpillar in the tree, how you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry hold on tight
I promise you that there will come a day
Butterfly fly awayButterfly fly away
Got your wings, now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come trueButterfly fly away
You've been waiting for this day
All along you've known just what to doButterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away
After I finished singing, I made my closing remark. "I hope you see this soon, that way you'll have something to remember me by while you're gone." I said. I stopped recording and put the whole video together. I then put the video in the package and put the address of where Paul is staying. "I hope he gets it in time." I said to myself.
I listened to this song on my MP3 player last night and thought it'd be perfect for this story at one point. It's called Butterfly Fly Away by Miley Cyrus (during her good girl days). It's here for story purposes, even though it's not a 60's song. Tap the thumbnail to hear the song. ~ Amanda
