"You're right. I am just a piece of shite,"John said.
"John, I...I'm..."Paul said inarticulate.
"You're absolutely right. What if she dosen't love me?How will I live? She has become a part of me. If she goes away, It'll belike half of me has left," John said.
"John, I know how you feel, but she loves you. I was just being an ass. I hadno right to say anything," Paul said.
"No, I'm the ass...I made you tell Claire...I hurt Claire. I can't believe I ever did anything that mean to her, " John said.
"No, I'm the one who fuckin' did it. You just made mefess up," Paul said.
"Paul, you've been me best mate for years...I loveyou, Paul," John said.
"I love you too, mate," Paul said.
    The boys stood up and hugged. The girls in the next room had noticed that the shouting had stopped.
"Shall we go over?" Sydney asked.
"Sure" Claire said.
    The girls walked over and found the boys hugging.Paul saw them first, and took a step back.
"Paul, your lip..."Claire exclaimed as she ran up tohim.
"Huh?" Paul asked as he shot a hand up to it.
    He pulled his hand back and saw the blood.
"C'mon..let's go wash it off and put ice on it like you do a school boy who gets into a fight" Claire said shaking her head inexasperation.
    She took his hand and led him to the bathroom.
"Claire, I really am sorry about the tour.." Paulsaid. "We were doing lots of drugs and drinking a lot and I know that's noexcuse, but I love you and am sorry I did it"
"Well, it's in the past, so let's just keep it there.. We both, we being Sydney and me, knew you'd all do it...And, obviously,I wish you hadn't...but, what can I do? I just.. just love you too much that...I dunno what I could do..I just..you didn't do itanymore times did you?" Claire asked looking him in the eyes.
"No, my love, I didn't" Paul said and leaned down fora kiss.
"I'm not kissing you. You have blood all over your lips," Claire said laughing as she got a wet rag and cleaned it up.
"He was right...everything he said" John was tellingSydney in the living room/bed room.
"Oh really?" Sydney asked examining his eye. "It looksas if you shall have a black eye" Sydney said.
"What? I can't have a black eye...I'm being in amovie," John said.
"Calm down...they have make up for these sorts of things," Sydney said laughing "So what exactly did Paul say?" she asked.
"He said I was a coward because I needed Cyn as a backup.. because I'm scared that we could tell and you could decide you don't loveme..." John said.
"John, that could NEVER happen... what I felt forGeorge and what I feel for you.. are so different that.. that I can't evenexplain..."Sydney said.
"And you don't have to because I know" John said and because he didn't have blood on his lips, he gave her a kiss.
"Whoo-hooo" Claire said and whistled as her and Paulwalked in.
"Claire, I'm sorry I. .I was angry and wanted to hurtPaul and ended up making him hurt you...I..."John began.
"Nope. stop. don't worry," Claire said.
"Paul.. you're lip it's..." John began before Sydney elbowed him in the ribs. "Looking cleaner."
"It's swelling" Paul said.
"We didn't get to the ice in time," Claire added
"So one Beatle will have a black eye and the otherwill have a swollen lip?" Sydney laughed.
"So if his lip's swollen, the means no kisses forPaul," John said
"No...I'll take the pain," Paul said.
"What time is it?" Sydney asked.
"Man, we've been gone for an hour" John said,
"We need to go back soon, but first I wanna call Mikeand find out how James is," Claire said.
    After they all took turns talking to James, theywent back to the set.
"There you all are..where did you..Oh my God, whathappened to your lip? John, your eye.." Ringo said as they walked up.
"We went to get a drink and they uhhh..got in adisagreement," Claire said."Well, George spent all day drawing that damn keyboard thing on the road and then decided he wanted to film it at night," Ringosaid.
"Oh, so...what are we doing now?" Paul asked.
"Looking for you four" Ringo said.
"Oh sorry...then what?" John asked.
"'I am the walrus'. So you two better go to makeup and costume..."
Ringo said.
    That night before George filmed "Blue Jay Way"him, Paul, and Claire went to dinner.
"Have you two noticed something weird between John andSydney." George asked
"No. no have you, Claire?" Paul lied.
"No...how do you mean George?" Claire asked.
" It's just that..Oh I don't know...I'm probably justbeing paranoid.. it's just that..if I ever lost her.. I'd probably die."George said.
"No you wouldn't..."Claire said.
"No I would probably commit suicide.."George said.
"George, I'm sure nothings up, but if it was...I'msure you'd be fine.."Paul said.
"No, I'm serious...I'd probably kill myself.. No noteven probably...I would kill myself" George said.
    After dinner Claire and Paul dropped George offand ran to John's room where John and Sydney were having "alone time".
"You can't tell him," Paul said as the ran through the door.
"No, we have to..." John said.
"No, you don't understand.. you can't" Paul said.
"No, you don�t understand.. Sydney's pregnant."
