The next day after that, George left to california. He's going to stay for a month there. I'll miss him,but at least I'll have John Paul Ringo & Jude to keep me company. After George left, I decided to visit Jude & bring him some of my signature blueberry muffins. I havent seen him since after he got surgery & i wanted to see how his next surgery turned out for him. I went to the front desk for a visitors pass carrying the basket in my arms.

Me-Hi, um I'm a visitor here for Jude Heubert.

The receptionist looked at a list & her eyes widen & she looks at me.

Recptionist- Mis...i dont know how to tell you this...but He's dead.

My stomach turned to stone

me-www..www...what?

I saw a blond haired dude & what seems to be his sister crying thier eyes out.

Dude- damn it! Why did he have to die like this?

girl-he doesnt deserve it!

Dude- oh Jude!

I went to them

Me- Jude? omg please dont tell me this is true?

the dude nods

Dude- you must be Sophie. I'm Max, his guy best friend from New york & this is my sis also Judes girlfriend

I shook hands with them as I chocked back a sob.

Me-how did this happen?

Max- He had his surgery yesterday & they accedentaly cut an artery that led to the brain &...

Me-(angrily) so its the DOCTORS FAULT!???!!!!!!! MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND GOT KILLLED BY DOCTORS? DAMN YOU ALL!

I saw security but I yelled

Me- SCREW THE POLICE! i'M LEAVING! THIS IS A HOUSE OF MURDERERS!

After the funeral arragements were made, I went home blinded by my tears. It felt so hard to even breathe. My one bestest friend..the one who stood by me when Ms Little hit the other kids in front of us....the one who narrowly escaped death at sea...was dead by someone that couldbe helped him. I sobbed into my pillow some more when I heard a door knock. I answered it & saw Paul there looking very sorrowful. I let him in & shut the door.

Paul- I read the obitchuaries. I'm so sorry...

I wrapped my arms around his neck & sobbed on his shoulder. He seemed surprised at first, but he ran his hands down my back trying to comfort me.

Paul- If only George was here...

Me- Let him be in California with his family for two weeks. I'm not gonna let him get away from the people he loves.

Paul-aw love...

We sat on the couch. My head still on his shoulder & his hand going up & down my back gently. Still

Paul- You know...I lost two people I cared about. My mother to cancer & my wife to also cancer.

Me-I'm sorry.

He looks sad & then he leans towards me, his voice almost as low as a whisper.

Paul-(sings slowly) When I find myself in times of trouble...Mother Mary comes to me...Speaking words of wisdom...Let it be. & in my hour of darkness she is standing....

He lifts my chin to look in his eyes.

Paul- (continues) right in front of me...speaking words of wisdom...let it be. Let it be. Let it be. Let it be. Let it be. Whisper words of wisdom...let it be.

I smile a little.

Me-it's a beautiful song.

Paul-thank you.

Me- It may take awhile for me to get over this.

Paul-take as long as you need.

I look at him straight in the eyes.

Me-thank you for being a good friend.

Paul- of course

I give him a kiss on the cheek. I felt him blush & he looks at me with those puppy dog eyes of his. He starts leaning towards me with his lips puckered, but I shook my head.

Me- Paul...I can't. I'm with George. Plus, you saw what happened between John & Yoko!

Paul- I haven't had a woman's kiss in such a long time...Please? You dont even have to love me back, I just need a reminder that someone cares about me.

Me- I do care Paul, but...It'll hurt George! I'm sorry I can't.

The phone rings. I answered & heard it was George.
