"lily I have some bad news" George was saying as walked into our New York home. "I'm in the kitchen" I yelled out trying to find something for dinner "hi george whats the matter you look like you've been crying"."lily you might want to sit down" his voice sounded distraught like it was coming from somwhere else. I pull a chair out from the table and sit down as I take off my apron. "lily Pauls dead" I wanted to tell you before you got swarmed with reporters. I suddenly cant breath "Pauls my only brother" i say in utter shock. George and i had married a year or so back after Paul introduced us at a little church fete in Woolton and we moved to new york about a week ago in fact all the Beatles did. I stand up now a little weak in the knees i puut on my Blue 'The Beatles' coat and say "I'm going for a walk Marys asleep and dinners in the oven" I grab my phone and walk out the door. I don't get far before im swamped by reporters and sobbing fans holding signs with pauls picture. suddenly there 50 microphones shoved in my face
"how are you copeing"
"when were you told about his death"
"how do you feel"
"where are you going"
i figure i better answer a few or I will never get out of here. I hear a female reporter ask "When did you find out"
"oh about five minutes ago"
"have you spoken to linda yet"
"no not yet"
"How do you feel"
"Well he was my brother i grew up with him you know its a drag"
"have you spoken to any of the other Beatles yet"
"Well my husband George told me but..uh..no i havent spoken to John or Ringo"
"What was he like growing up"
"He was funny and..uh..playful now please I have to leave"
I walk away quickly and pull my phone from my pocket and rang up dad
"hello"
"Hey daddy"
"oh hello lily I haven't spoken to you in ages whats the matter"
"uh..have you heard about paul"
"ya John called me an hour ago"
"do you want to talk about it"
"well theres not much to say besides I wish i could see him again"
ya daddy me to...George and I have been talking about bringing mary out there to see you"
"That would be nice"
"ok i have to go bye"
"bye"
The next day i saw the headline 'Paul McCartney dead when asked about his death remorseless sister replies "Its a drag" ' ."george they make me look like a cold hearted bitch". I'm sitting in the living room watching the news and crying buckets when the phone rings.
"Hello"
"Hi I'm looking for lily harrison"
"Speaking"
"yes i'm calling to ask if you would make an apearance on the Today Show"
"uh..ya sure when"
"Tommorro morning"
"ok thank you"
I was watching the news again and it said:
Possibly one of the greatest singer songwriters in history was shot and killed in front of his New York home last night around nine by a man named Erik Patterson who said he was on a mission from god and that Paul was the anti-christ. Patterson emerged from the bushes and fire six shots into McCartneys back. Upon hearing the shots ran to her husbands aid and called 911 he was rushed to Rosevelt Memorial Hospital were he was pronounced dead at nine-thirty.I picked up the phone and rang up John next
"hello"
"hey yoko is John there"
"ya hold on"
I waited a momment to hear the voice i had grown so accostom to
"hello"
John its lily"
"oh hey"
"so you told daddy about Paul"
"ya"
"so..uh..They're having a funeral in Woolton are you going"
"I don't know I mean he was my best mate and all but...maybe"
"I have to he was brother plus dad wants to see mary"
"well I got to go"
"ok talk again soon"
"ok bye"
In one week I am on The Today Show then David Letterman then Conan then Jay Leno then Jimmy Fallon and they all wanted to talk about Paul for example The Today Show
"Lily and George Harrison thank you for being with us"
"of corse"
"now can you tell us what Paul was like growing up"
"Well he was a little diva..uh..once when we were small I covered him with grape jam and he started crying about how i ruined his new clothes and george had made a penut butter jelly sandwich by wiping jam off pauls leg"
"hahahaha and when did you hear the sad news"
"Well george came in and told me..uh..um..that night at about 10:00 P.M."
"how did you feel when he told you"
" I did'nt believe him at first it felt like the air had been sucked out of me"
"Well i'm terribly sorry for your loss"
We get out of there in time to meet John and Yoko for lunch. As I sit there I cant help thinking this has to be some terible nightmare who would want to kill Paul I mean he was so sweet and giving. The news is on in the resturant and they start talking about Paul and the murder. I just bury may face in Georges shoulder and cry buckets. When I get home I cry even more and scream at the TV that erik patterson is the jerk of all jerks for taking Paul away from me. George mean while was packing our stuff to make a trip to Liverpool so we could see my dad and pay our final respects to my wonderful little brother.
As I get off the plane I see my best freind Rita waiting for me with a sign that read Lily and George Harrison. I ran over as soon as I spoted her and left Mary to George. Then she just grabs me and starts saying how she misses him so much and it as her fault he left liverpoolin the first place
"Oh Rita It's so hard I'm a disaster I'm a horrible mother to little mary and a horible daughter for not visiting daddy"
"Lily you are the most amazing person I've ever met"
