John was fighting himself to get some sleep; he needed to rest and forget about everything for at least some hours. When he was finally falling asleep, he felt how his wife was getting under the covers and resting her head in a pillow. Yoko looked at John, who was almost completely asleep without moving his body and eyes completely closed, with worried eyes. She wanted to know what was going on inside his husband's head. She had been noticing for some time ago that he was kind of distant of her. The Asian wondered if another woman was getting in the picture, but she tried not to think that. Was she losing John? Did she already lose him?

The next morning, when John woke up, he noticed Yoko was still sleeping and went to the kitchen to prepare something for breakfast. He wasn't good at cooking at all; he always burned everything, even the eggs; but he could manage to get something for the day's first meal, and he knew how to prepare some stuff. He remembered the way breakfast used to be ten years ago, when he was a Beatle and was always touring and had to sleep in lots of hotels. George would always say he's hungry since the very first minute he's awake, Ringo would say something totally random, Paul would be the last to wake up, but he'd end up preparing the breakfast, and John would always say: "Delicious as always, Macca." As he was remembering his old-times breakfasts, a slight smile appeared in his face as he took a carton of milk from the fridge. Apparently, cereal was going to be today's breakfast for him.

I have to go and tell Paulie I'm sorry for being an idiot to him. That thought crossed Lennon's mind when a spoonful of cereal was touching his mouth. He finished his breakfast quickly, put on his shoes and searched for the keys. Where were the freaking keys? Their bedroom, he remembered.

He opened the bedroom door slowly and saw his Asian wife reading something lying on the bed.

"G'morning. Didn't know you were awake." John said, searching for the keys with his eyes.

"Good morning, honey. Are you hungry? Let's prepare some breakfast." Yoko smiled, noticing the look John was showing.

"I already ate, but thank you." John's voice was neutral, somehow annoyed and eager to grab the keys and get out.

"Something wrong? I'm not blind, John. I know something's bothering you."

"Nothing's wrong… I just… Where are the keys?" John abruptly changed the topic leaving her confused.

"Where are you going?"

"Paul's."

"To Paul's again? I don't know if I can believe you anymore. Is there another girl?"

"There isn't any other girl!" John quickly exclaimed, making the older woman roll his eyes.

"Don't lie to me, John. Who do you think you are? Is that something normal for you? Cheating on all your wives?" Yoko was losing control of the situation. She knew John had someone else and couldn't stand seeing him trying to cover everything with lies. She was sure she'd make him confess.

John obviously didn't know what to answer or how to react. "Don't involve Cynthia on this!"

"Can't you see you're hurting me?" When John heard those words coming from his wife's mouth, he realised this was way harder than he imagined. Why did he always have to hurt everyone?

"Please be honest with me." The woman begged, her voice cracking, wanting to cry, but she didn't.

"You're right… I haven't been completely sincere with you, and I…" He stopped for a few seconds looking for the right words in his head. He knew this was going to be a total disaster, but he couldn't keep lying, or he'd end up losing everything. "I don't know how this happened so fast… It just happened. Like when we met and I immediately fell in love with you…"

Yoko Ono knew he was starting out talking soft, using kind words and remembering their past, because then he'd announce something terrible; but she didn't reply. She let John take his time to say everything.

"And I don't want to keep lying, hurting or giving you false expectations… So, I guess you want me to go directly to the point…" John made another pause, and Yoko was starting to get a little desperate. Why he couldn't just say it?

"John, for God's sake! Just say it!" Yoko's voice wasn't so calm anymore; in fact, she was going hysterical.

"You want me to just say it? All right then: I've been cheating."

"I KNEW IT! I knew there was another girl, and you just kept lying!"

"I didn't lie, I just hid the true. It's not exactly a woman the one I've been cheating you with." John hit those words and she didn't know how to react. The last thing you ever expect from your husband is him cheating you with another lad.

"So you are gay now?" she pronounced those words with disgust. Not because she had something against homosexuals; but because the thought of ever asking that to her husband never crossed her mind.

"I think I've always been." he just replied that, doing his best effort to stay calm. He knew this was harder for her than it was going to be for him.

"What do you mean by that? I thought you loved me!"

"Of course I loved you, and I do! It's just that… not in that way anymore. I guess it is happening the same thing that happened to me with Cyn, but in very different circumstances." John explained not sure if she got what he meant.

"Who's him? Are you going to tell me now where you go when you say you're going to see Paul?" she asked, wanting him to directly answer.

"That wasn't a lie, actually. Paul is the guy." John finally confessed.

"PAUL?! PAUL?! When you left the band you two fussed and fought, and practically hated each other… and now you're telling me you're lovers?" Yoko screamed, hitting and pronouncing clearly every syllable.

"What? I never hated him; we've always loved each other. In fact, you used to get very jealous of our friendship back in my last Beatle years. Paul had been my lover even before the band was famous! We kept everything in secret. When I decided to break up with Cyn because of you... I also ended up my romance with him!"

"Me? He was the one being fucking jealous about everything! He never accepted you had grown up and fallen in love with a woman. Was he expecting you to be a fucking Beatle forever?! I saved you!"

"The Beatles saved me too, you know? If it wasn't for them, I would have been a failure in life."

They both had scrambled feelings that led them to shout at each other over the most insignificant things. He knew that that wasn't the way of discussing. John talked about Give peace a chance, and all that stuff, and was now shouting at his wife? That obviously wasn't the right thing to do. John Lennon wasn't the kind of guy that did the things the way they are supposed to be; but Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend.

"Let's stop screaming, ok? It's not right." John inhaled deep breath and calmed down.

"But cheating is?" Yoko calmed down a little too, but it seemed so difficult to her, and all she wanted to do was scream.

"Can we please have a decent conversation? Like when we started talking today?" He asked, holding her by her shoulders, leading her to calm down a little more.

"There's nothing to talk about. Just tell me, what are you going to do?" She firmly asked.

"What am I going to do about what?"

"If you truly want to save what's left of this, you can stay, try to fix things, and never in your life cheat again. But if that's not what you want, I don't deserve to live with a man lying to me every day." Her voice showed how dead serious she was about it.

"I'm really sorry…"

"You're not, and I know you're leaving. Go now please."

"I cannot just walk away like this…"

"Your original plan wasn't visiting Paul today? Go now, I don't care if you need something from here; just go away. I want to be alone." she demanded, pointing the door with her finger.

"But…"

"Are you deaf, John Winston? GO NOW!"

He quickly grabbed the keys and left the building with lots of thoughts in his head. John felt really bad for Yoko, and of course, they still had more things to talk about to end the relationship well, the way it's supposed to be.

He turned on the car and headed to Paul's.

I'm going to pack my stuff to go to live with Paul. I'll apologize about everything and show how much I utterly love him.

His head was invaded between the thoughts of how bad he felt for Yoko and how much she didn't deserve what he'd done; but also the happiness of surprising Paul telling he's staying with him.
