Chapter 7
They finished their dinners and everyone went home to make up for a little lost time. The lads just stayed at home the next day and caught up with their wives and kids. The next day, the lads had to fly back to the U.S. early in the morning. Sydney went back over to Claire's house. Sydney helped Claire take care of James for two weeks. One day Sydney, James, and Claire were sitting out in the garden.
"I think I'm going to go check up on the lads" Sydney said grinning.
"Oh yeah, they need to be checked up on every once in a while...espically John...I mean" Claire said laughing.
"I'm not going to tell them I'm going, I'll just show up. That way it's more of a surprise" Sydney said.
"Sounds good to me. When ya leaving?" Claire asked.
"Tomorrow morning, I just wanted to make sure you were okay with me going" Sydney said.
"Oh of course. James and I willl do just fine" Claire said.
"Great! I'm leaving tomorrow morning at 5, so I'll get there in the evening" Sydney said.
They ate dinner and then Sydney went to her room to pack. The next morning, Sydney got up at 4:30 and then got a taxi to the airport. A couple of people came up to her, and asked if she really was married to George Harrison, the Beatle. She always answered no, so she wouldn't get mobbed with questions.
She flew to Memphis, which is where the guys were playing that night. She found out what hotel they were in and then got a room. At around eleven, she heard a big group of people going into the rooms above her, which is where the guys were at. She went upstairs and got past the security with ease, because they just thought she was invited to the after-party. She sat in a dark corner of the room and watched the party.
She spotted the guys surrounded by a large group of flirty girls seated on the couch. The lads were flirting shamelessly and drinking massive amounts of alchol. After about 20 minutes, John and a girl got up and walked into another room. Sydney decided this was the best time to go confront the guys. She stood up and walked over to the couch and sat in the place John was just sitting. At first the guys didn't notice and just thought she was another pretty bird. Paul glanced over at her and looked up, but then looked back, wide eyed.
"Hi Paulie" Sydney said raising her eyebrows.
"Ohh..shit" Paul said.
Ringo and George looked where he was looking.
"Hi Ring and Georgie" Sydney said grimly.
The guys pushed the girls off of them.
"You guys relaxed?" she asked.
They were all stunned.
"Cat got your tongue?" she asked smiling devilishly.
"It's not how it looks..." George said.
"Really?!?! It looks rather self explanatory" she said.
"You catch the show?" Paul asked all of a sudden.
"What the fuck?!?! What does that have to do with anything? Paul, you just friggin' had a son! Look at ya! Claire is at home taking care of James, spending all her time thinking about you. And Ringo...what about Mo and Zak! I'm so surprised at you! You of all people! And John....damnit John isn't even here! He's off fucking some other bird. And George..I'm disgusted. I don't even know what to say to you. Who knows what you guys have done without us around. Maybe we shouldn't have trusted you...." Sydney said.
They were all silent.
"She was a great lay, better then Cyn ever was" John said loudly.
Sydney looked up at him. He spotted her.
"Fucking 'ell..." John said.
"Enjoying yourself Johnny luv?" she said.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Well I thought I would come to visit my husband and my best friends...but it turns out I'm going to catch you guys being UNFAITHFUL!" she screamed.
Everyone at the party turns and looks at her, they all file out of the room slowly, angry that the party had been cut short.
"I should tell them! I should call Cyn, Mo and Claire. I should call and wake up your fuckin babies and tell them their loving husbands are cheating on them! But you know what, I won't. Know why? Do you know why? Because I care about them, unlike some people here!" Sydney yelled.
"Well we didn't actually cheat on them" Paul said quietly.
"Well tonight! But what about all the other nights!?!?! How could you even stand to talk to your wives when you were doing this behind their backs! You're sick!" Sydney shouted.
John sat down on the couch next to the others. Sydney stood up.
