Two Day's later

Thursday

I sat in class, doodling a girl, Olivia. I felt my heart sink as I scribbled it away.

Two days. It felt like two years. I told the lads we had a falling out. I didn't dare tell John that it was Tracy who broke us up. He'd probably go off and shag Olivia just to stick it to me. And she'd probably do it too, just to get revenge.

I sighed as the teacher gave us the last half hour to ourselves. I opened a new page in my notebook and wrote down the date and a title at the top.

I Need You. By; George H.

I bit my lip and began writing an idea for a new song. I held back the tears as I finished. I heard giggling and looked up to see Olivia talking to some bloke. She smiled as he handed her a note. My heart beating rapidly in my chest.

I jumped as the bell rang. Making my way out of the class faster than anyone else, I made my way into the canteen, grabbed lunch and headed to the small table I sat at the first day of school. I just wanted to be alone.

Sadly, this didn't happen.

I was eating the grosss hamburger when I felt a light tap on my head.

"Heya." Richard smiled, sitting across from me. I nodded and looked down.

"Hi Rich. What's up?"

"Nothin important. Just walkin off to meet the lads. Saw ye alone here. You havent come around us since your fallin out with Olivia."

I shrugged. "Yeah. I just feel a little glum. That's all. She seemed to have moved on."

"Really? How do ye know that?" He asked, stealing my chips.

"I dunno. She seems happy. Like nothin happened. I'm the one here feelin like shit. I deserve it honestly."

Richard sighed and stood up. "Come on mate. Ye need to relax. Have a night out. Two more days until the gig yeah? Let's live it up for now."

I looked up at him. A sympathetic smile on his face, waiting for an answer. I nodded and stood up, following him into the parking lot.

..

"Ye know what?? All birds do is mess up everythin. They get to emotionally attatched." John said, chugging his beer down.

I stared at mine sadly. Untouched. Paul sighed and ordered a round of shots.

"Come on George. Stop bein a sour puss. Lets get shit faced yeah?? Just for tonight??" John asked, resting his hand on my shoulder. I nodded.

"Okay. Sounds good mate."

He smiled. "Good boy."

I lifted my glass as he lifted his. "Cheers yeah?"

"Cheers." I said downing my entire glass. Richard smiled and patted my back.

"Nice. Our George is back!"

..

I giggled, stumbling out of the pub hours later after drinking myself shitless.

"Come on mate pull yourself together." Paul said holding me up as we walked to the car.

"Ye know what!? I feel like a new man! Who cares if I got dumped by the most beautiful bird in the whole world! My dick still works!" I laughed.

I felt lightheaded and dizzy. Everything a blur as I stared ahead.

"I miss her." I pouted, sadness taking over. I starting sobbing like a baby.

"Shh. Come now you silly little thing." Richard said, helping me into the backseat.

"We can't take him home like this." Paul said.

"Then where??" John asked.

"He can stay at mine for now." Richard said.

"Alright then." Paul answered as I leaned my head against the window, watching people walk by. Then I saw her.

She was holding hands with...oh no. Richard started the car, but stopped it immediatly as I opened the door, stumbling out.

"Olivia. What theee fucking hell are ye doing with this fucking twat!?" I yelled.

"George?? Are you drunk??"

"Answer my question and I'll answer yours!" I yelled. She sighed.

"George. This is Mike.."

"Mike? The abusive pig who forced himself on ye!? You take him back after he fuckin kicked my arse outside my home!?"

"He..what??" She said sounding shocked. I blinked.

"Why dont you just go home huh? Dont listen to him babe, he's fuckin pissed out of his mind."

"No you listen to me fucker! I love this girl okay!? I fuckin love her! And you think you can just take her away in two days!?"

"I think I just did Pal." He smirked. I scoffed.

"Yeah? Well how about this, Pal. I fight ye for the girl? Yeah? Sound alright!?" I yelled.

He laughed. "Fine. She's nothin to me anyway. I can't wait to bash your pretty little face in."

"George stop alright?" Olivia said sounding concerened.

"I have to win your love!" I shouted. I could hear John laughing in the background at my comment.

"George not this way! It's just a recipe for disaster." She said holding my arm.

"I need to do this! Just let me get my face bashed in. Then the pain will all go away." I pouted.

"Oh George." She said holding my face into her hands.

Before I could even answer, she was pushed aside, and I was knocked onto the ground instantly.

..

I woke up the next morning with a raging hangover and a bust up face. I blinked and looked around. I was in my room. What??

The time. 11:23 am

It's Friday. Looks like I missed school. I turned in bed to see a figure lying next to me. I blinked leaned over, pulling down the sheet to reveal...Paul??

"Paul?? What the hell are ye doin here??"

His eyes fluttered open and he yawned. "Heya babe." He smiled. "Weve been taking turns checkin up on ye. John and the rest are downstairs. Mum and dad are gone."

"Mum and dad...do they know??"

"Yep yup. We told them everything. Mum wasn't too happy. She cleaned ye up and changed you. She asked us to watch over ye in case you try to wreck yourself again."

I sighed and sat up. "Thanks mate. I really appreciate what you all done for me. What about..."

I was just about to ask about Olivia when the door opened. She walked in and gave a small smile.

"Hi."

"H..hiya." I stuttered. Paul rolled his eyes and got up.

"Whelp, I'll leave you two alone now."

I nodded as he past Olivia and closed the door after him. I bit my lip and watched as she walked over to me, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"How are you feeling?" Her voice was soft. I shrugged.

"Like shit. Why um, why are you here?"

"I wanted to see you. You got hit pretty hard last night."

I laughed a little. "Yeah. That blow to the face really knocked me out cold yeah?"

She nodded and leaned over, wrapping her arms around me. "I'm so sorry George."

It felt nice to feel her body against mine again. The familiar smell of her perfume making my heart skip a beat.

"Youre not the one that should be sorry. I'm the one that's sorry. About the other day..."

She shook her head and pressed her finger over my lips. "Let's not talk about it okay?"

I nodded and smiled as she climbed on top of me and snuggled in my arms. I held her tight, holding her warm body. She rubbed my arm.

"Does this mean we can be together again?" I asked. She sat up and looked at me.

"George. Not now."

"Why not??" I asked pouting. She looked down and shook her head.

"I'm not just going to take you back like that George. You hurt me. A lot. I dunno if I can trust you just yet."

"Of course you can trust me! Olivia please I really really want you back. I know I fucked up and I betrayed you. I don't have any feelings for Tracy anymore."

"But you did before?? Christ George." She got off the bed and grabbed her coat.

"Wait! Please Olivia just....I don't want to lose ye. Not yet. Give me a second chance." I pleaded. She crossed her arms and looked at me.

"George I dunno.."

"I want you to hear somethin I wrote for ye."

She bit her lip and walked over to me slowly, sitting next to me on the bed. I grabbed my guitar and took a breath as I began to sing.

"You don't realize how much I need you

Love you all the time and never leave you

Please come on back to me

I'm lonely as can be

I need you

Said you had a thing or two to tell me

How was I to know you would upset me?

I didn't realize as I looked in your eyes

You told me, oh yes, you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore

That's when it hurt me and feeling like this I just can't go on anymore

Please remember how I feel about you

I could never really live without you

So, come on back and see just what you mean to me. I need you

But when you told me, you don't want my lovin' anymore

That's when it hurt me and feeling like this I just can't go on anymore

Please remember how I feel about you

I could never really live without you

So, come on back and see just what you mean to me

I need you

I need you

I need you"

As I finished she looked at me with a small smile. "Georgie I...I dunno what to say."

"Don't say anythin." I said, taking her face into my hands and giving her a deep kiss. She kissed back, leaning over me.

"Aye George ye gotta see this! I think Paul has a third testicle..." John yelled, bursting into the room and stopping in his tracks.

"I do not!" Paul yelled coming in after him.
