The next day, Julia scrolls through the clothes Paul bought for her. She then picks out the red dress, along with the blue flats to match.

When Paul sees her all dressed up, his face lights up. "Oh my word! Julia, you look so beautiful!" He said excitedly. "Thank you, Paul. I almost couldn't decide on what to wear because all the outfits you picked out are so pretty." Said Julia. "I completely understand. I can get carried away with my clothes sometimes too." Said Paul.

A little something popped up into Julia's head. "Paul?" She said. "Yes, dear?" Paul said. "Do you remember when I said I have less people in my life?" Julia asked. "You told me that on day we met." Said Paul. "Well, I'm ready to tell you everything. Before I do, I'd like to go somewhere we can be alone." Said Julia. Paul nods as the two head towards the door.

"Where are you two headed?" Asked George. "To get some air. I need time to clear my head." Julia said. "And I'm gonna keep her company." Paul said. George nods with a smile before the two step outside. Paul takes Julia to a nearby park so she can tell him about her sad, miserable life.

"So, you said you have less people in your life. Care to elaborate on that?" Asked Paul. "Well, my life was perfect up until I turned 17. Around that time, my parents died in a massive car crash, and all my friends turned against me. All the people I cared about just left. Technically, my parents didn't leave me on purpose since they were killed, but my friends said I'm not worth it. Next thing you know, they ignore and never talk to me again. Here I am, the sad and lonely girl without anybody. No friends, no family, no nothing." Said Julia.

Paul takes out a tissue and wipes away her tears. "I'm so sorry. I know how you feel about losing parents." He said. "You lost your mother when you were 14, didn't you?" Julia asked. "How did you know?!" Paul asked in shock. "I have books about The Beatles history. When I read through the section about you, it mentioned how your mother died when you were 14." Said Julia. "Goodness! You're way ahead of me!" Said Paul. "And when I read about John, it said that he lost his mother when he was 17." Julia said. "That's true, he did." Said Paul. "I just wish my life could be better than it is now." Said Julia.
