I Know What It's Like To Be Dead | Beatles Fanfiction

Chapter 26

John's POV
I was mad. Angry. Fuming. How could Hannah just lie to me about that? I never cheated on her - well, maybe a few times. As the lead singer of a band, I do have the occasional fumble at clubs and all that.
After lunch with Alex and the boys, we went back to recording. My mind wasn't really set on the recording though. As soon as I got home I stormed into the living room. Hannah was talking on the telephone to someone, and as soon as she saw me she hung up.
"John, what's wrong? " she got up. I took off my coat and dropped it to the floor. I stormed up to her and pinned her against the wall. I was seeing red by now.
"Why the fuck did you lie last night?" Hannah just stared at me, with a blank expression and bit her lip.

"FUCKING ANSWER ME!"

Her breathing picked up speed. "I- I don't know. I went out alone because I wanted to." I looked at her. "Why did you lie about that?" She ran her hands through her hair and took a deep breath. "Because you wouldn't believe me anyway, even if I told you the truth." I wasn't buying it. She was lying again, but I was too tired to argue and didn't really give a fuck anymore. The truth would come out eventually. I slept alone that night.

George's POV
I've been doing this behind John's back for so long. There would come an end to this and it wouldn't be nice. He should know I love Hannah, and that she loved me too. He was going to be angry - fuck it - he'd try to kill me but I could live with that. As long as I had Hannah. I decided I'd tell Alex. She gave us her adress yesterday, so why not?

I walked up to her flat and pushed the button that had her name on it. Alexandra Jones. The door buzzed open and I made my way to the second floor. I knocked on the door and after a few seconds the door swung open. Alex was smiling, and when she saw me, she had a surprised look on her face. "George, come in!" she let me in and took my coat. She stood there holding it for a second "Why're you here, then?" she asked while smiling. I shrugged. "I wanted to talk" She nodded and put my coat away, and motioned for me to follow her to the kitchen. I followed her and sat at the kitchen table. "Tea? Coffee? Or something else?" I smiled "Tea, please"

She made us both tea and sat down across me. "Thanks" I blew on my tea before taking a small sip from it. I sighed and looked at Alex. "I have to get something off my chest, Alex" She smiled. "Go on then, I won't tell anybody" she assured me. I nodded. "I ehm - you know when, earlier - well this has been going on for a while but, earlier today when we were having lunch, and John told us about Hannah, right?"

Alex nodded. "Well ehm - the thing is.." I continued, surprised that Alex hadn't lost her patience with me yet "I just, don't know how to say it, but erm - "

"George, I think I know what you're trying to tell me" she interrupted me. I looked up at her, hoping she wouldn't scold me. "You do?" she nodded and continued.

"You're in love with Hannah, aren't you?" I nodded and looked down. I was scared. Scared for what was about to come next, when John found out.
