Hey guys! Here's the 3rd chapter :D I hope you'll like it :) Remember it's just a fiction, not everything in it has to be very logical or very life-like :)

Chapter 3 – Tell Me Why

We started talking; he wouldn't tell me what was wrong.

"Come on, Paul! I know something's wrong with you, I know we just met but I feel like I've actually known you forever…" I said to him.

"I told you, I am not upset. Yeah it's same feeling for me too. It's weird"

"Well, why won't you come down and have fun with us? It's still better than being here by yourself"

"I'm actually very happy here, right now"

"Huh?"

He came closer to me. I think it was a matter of centimeters of space between our faces. I could feel his breath on my face, and I could hardly breathe. I looked into his eyes, it was magical. We didn't talk for like 20 seconds, but it wasn't awkward at all, just staring into each other's eyes. Maybe it was seconds, maybe it was minutes, I don't know, I just know it lasted enough to make me feel like I was in heaven. Was I falling for him, or am I just lonely? I didn't know, really. I didn't really want to fall in love with someone. I think it brings nothing but problems. No, I have to stop it. But, I can't. It's like we're glued to each other. I can feel he wants to say something.

"Well, it's just that, ever since I met you, I... - - "

We heard a knock on the door. We lost those sparks in our eyes and immediately got back from each other. We were all awkward and shy.

"Come in!" said Paul.

"We have to do a little rehearsal in the studio, come with us, Lilly, I promise you won't regret seeing these lads in action!" said Brian, then he got out followed by the other boys.

"Come on, you guys! You're really gonna like it, Lil!" said George.

"I'm coming!" I said with a smile, I ran and held George's hand, and we went upstairs together. I could feel Paul walking very slowly behind us. They started playing and singing, John's voice was just epic. George's guitar-playing wasn't bad too, actually it was awesome. And he has such a great voice. Ringo's drum playing was just fantastic! He's so talented. They all are. When Paul started singing, I think my heart skipped a beat. His voice was like, the most beautiful sound I've ever heard in my entire life. I could close my eyes and listen to him all day… No, Lilly, you can't fall for him! I can't fall for anyone right now. I'm just not ready. I mean, who said every love story has to end well? Most of them end up pretty badly; especially for me. When they finished, they all decided to go get something to eat. George wanted to stay to arrange the instruments, so I stayed with him. He was tuning the guitars, doing sound-testing and all that stuff musicians do.

"So, did you like it?"

"Yes, very much! You're an amazing band!"

"Well, obviously!" he said, being ironic and funny, he made me laugh.

"Do you ever, like, fight and stuff?"

"Sometimes; most of the time, it's because of John's craziness, and he can be rude sometimes, and Paul can be very bossy sometimes"

"Paul? Bossy? He seems so sweet"

"Yeah, well, bossy's just his nature. Not in a very good way, though"

"That's odd"

"Most of the time, he'd break up with his girlfriends because he can't stand the idea of them having a life on their own, but when he really loves a girl, his bossy side disappears. But that's very rare. He can be a player, sometimes, too"

"Oh my God, I never would've guessed"

"That's why all the girls throw themselves at him… But when he takes a girl seriously, it's way better"

"Yeah, I'm sure it is… Who are you the closest to?"

"I think it would have to be Ringo. We're left out most of the time by the Lennon/McCartney duo"

"Oh, my God, really?!"

"Not all the time, but it's just like that. There's nothing we can do, I don't really mind, frankly"

"I guess there's always that kind of problems inside a band"

We were talking about the band and all, but all I kept thinking about was what he had said about Paul. Now, I definitely can't fall for him. Plus, we live in the same house, if things turned out bad, it would be catastrophic! We finished arranging the studio, I helped him a little bit even though I knew nothing about it, so much that things I did actually made him laugh. I don't know if he was just laughing or making fun of me, it didn't really matter. He's like my best friend. I got really close to Ringo and John too. With John, of course the teasing/rude side most of the time, but he's so charismatic that you forget all about it. It was late, and George was tired, he decided to sleep. We walked to his room; he said he wanted to give me something.

"What is it, Georgie?"

"Just you wait" he said while searching in his drawers, each one in turn. Then he took something out, it was like 2 identical bracelets, but that completed each other. I think I sensed what he wanted to do. He put one of them on my wrist, and the other on his. They were black, all black; nothing written on them, mine just had a little hole in the middle, and George's had like a little sphere that came perfectly to cover the hole. He didn't say anything, he just smiled at me, and I smiled too. I even think I blushed. That was the sweetest thing. I told him good night and went to the living room to watch TV. I watched TV for about half an hour, until the others came back. John was fooling around with something random, like usual. Anything can amuse John. He came to sit next to me, and we started talking, he's like hilarious. Then Ringo joined us, things got even funnier. Brian asked us where is George, I told him that he was tired and went to sleep.

"What's that on your wrist?" asked Ringo.

"Oh, George gave me that"

"That's his friendship bracelet, I never would've thought he'd give it to someone, I thought it would be locked in his drawer forever" he said, and we all laughed.

"So, when did he give it to you?" asked Paul.

"Just now, before he went to sleep"

"Oh, that's cool" said Paul with a smile. Then he went to the kitchen wanting to drink, followed by John, of course he couldn't because John kept teasing him and not letting him drink. It was hilarious to see. They were goofing around and I was talking to Ringo. He has the kindest heart, and he's so adorable. He's much underestimated as a drummer, hell, I don't know anything about music, but that guy's awesome! Of course he made me laugh, hard. The four of them were just wonderful. I think we made much noise, we woke George up. He came down in his PJ's, all sleepy.

"Lord, can you make so much noise, you guys!" he said, with his sleepy voice he could barely talk, we were all laughing, "so, did you have fun?"

"Yeah! I prank-called a policeman and yes it was awesome! And we locked Macca in the bathroom, I told you I'd get my revenge!" announced John.

"Oh well, I think I deserved it. Sometimes I locked him in there without any reason" said Paul with a little laugh. They all laughed. Brian then told John "I sincerely hope you'll never do that policeman joke again, Lennon, you could've gotten in big trouble"

"I wouldn't dare to hurt your pride, mister" replied John, sarcastic as usual.

"Okay, lads, time to sleep, we're wakin' up early tomorrow" said Brian.

"Oh right! It's gonna be awesome!" said Paul.

"What is?" I asked.

"You'll see tomorrow, now good night" said George, he kissed me on the forehead and went upstairs. We stayed 10 minutes downstairs and then we all said goodnight to each other and went upstairs. I went upstairs and got in my room. Then I remembered I forgot to brush my teeth. I didn't really want to get caries. I went in the bathroom and Paul got in at the same time. We giggled a bit.

"God what are the odds" I said.

"I forgot to brush my teeth" said Paul.

"Same for me"

"Well, go ahead, I'll just wait" said Paul with a smile. So I did and I started brushing my teeth. I looked in the mirror and Paul was making funny faces at me. I laughed and I started choking. (I had a toothbrush in my mouth, eventually). Paul jumped to hold me while I was coughing. He was this close to laughing but he didn't.

"Oh my God are you okay?" he asked while keeping himself from laughing. I spit the toothpaste in my mouth and broke into laughter, so did Paul. We laughed for like 5 minutes, I had tears in my eyes and my stomach was hurting as much as I laughed. When we calmed down, Paul brushed his teeth and told me goodnight. I was wondering what was going to happen tomorrow? It probably wasn't such a big deal but they said it'd be fun. Well, I'll know when I wake up.
