Chapter 38.
"What the fuck are you talking about!?" John asked, walking toward all of us. I stayed quiet and just watched Tracy stutter and try to explain herself. Paul stood next to me and whispered for answers. I told him everything. The pregnancy, the lies, the abortion.
"John please I didn't think you'd ever find out.."
"So then what!? Ye just ignore the fact that it was mine!? That's the lowest thing anyone has ever done to me!" John yelled.
Tracy looked hurt and looked at me. "Well, your friend over there, George? Yeah well, he knew the entire time! Him and his little girlfriend! Some friend huh?? Oh yeah and he fucked me too!" She yelled back at him, running a hand through her hair. "I'll see you all in hell."
And with that, she turned on her heel and left us standing on the empty, lonely sidewalk.
I froze as John turned to me, his face full of anger and his hand clenching into a fist. I bit my lip.
"Is she telling the truth? Did you know the entire time??"
I was scared to answer. I didn't want to know what he'd do to me if I said yes. I could easily say no and cover my own arse. But then I'd be lying to me mate again. I didn't need to be digging myself into a deeper hole. I took a breath and nodded.
"Yes John. I knew the entire time."
"And...did you sleep with her??"
I looked down and stuttered. "Y..yes."
I looked up just in time to see John's fist coming at my face and knocking me down to the ground. I caught myself and held my hand to my lip, realising I was bleeding. Paul hurriedly pulled John back before he could start wailing on me. I sat up.
"You fuckin back stabbing prick! I thought you were my friend!" He yelled.
"Oh yeah?? What about the fact you were sleeping around, not even paying attention to her! She liked ye for fucks sake! But you threw her away and made her feel as if she was nothing but a good fuck! I regret sleeping with her I will admit. But I lied to protect you! She became a bitch and I knew she didn't deserve you! So go ahead and fuckin kick my arse! But I'm not the prick! You are!" I yelled, standing up as Olivia helped me.
John glared at me and shook his head. "Let's just go back home. But when we do, were through. I don't want to see you anymore."
Paul sighed and let him go as he made his way into the van. Richard walked over to me and patted my back.
"Come on mate. Let's get goin."
I nodded slowly, feeling like someone kicked me in the fuckin balls. The pain of losing a friend is greater than losing a girlfriend. It's losing a bond that means so much more. The trust is lost.
Olivia held my hand tight and kissed my cheek, reassuring me things will get better. I wanted to believe her so much. But my gut was telling me other wise.
..
We drove for hours. The sky going from darkness to pith black. Taking the back roads was pretty creepy at two in the morning. But, the drama going on in the van was enough to make us forget about it. That was until Richard groaned.
"Uh oh."
Paul sat up from the back and leaned up front. "Uh oh what??"
The van made a weird noise, like a balloon flying around the room as air blew out of it. Then, dead. Paul sighed and sat back in his seat as John woke up from his sleep.
"What's goin on?" He asked. Richard turned to us and bit his lip. I knew what we had to do. And to be honest, I wasn't looking forward to it.
..
"Why us?? I mean why does this shit happen to us??" Paul asked breathlessly as we all tried pushing the van up a steep road. Olivia pushed the back with me as John and Paul pushed on the sides. Richard pushing up front where the drivers seat is.
"It seems the world is against us. Bloody hell I'm outta shape." John groaned.
Olivia looked up at the sky. "It looks like rain. You can almost smell it."
"Fuckin hell. This night is a fuckin waste." I shook my head.
"Yeah, I'll say." John muttered. I scoffed.
"If ye got somethin to say Lennon, Just say it!"
"I 'ave nothin to say to you. Fuckin pisshead."
"Pisshead huh? Yeah well, I'd like for you to say it to me face." I urged. John looked back at me and laughed sarcastically.
"Oh yeah? Keep dreamin son. I'll fuckin knock you off your feet in a second. Don't make me embarrass you anymore than I already have infront of your little pie there." He pointed at Olivia. She just ignored him and shook her head.
"For fucks sake you two! Now is not the time!" Paul yelled.
"Yeah? Then when is the time? Ye wanna fight Harrison? Will that shut your gob?"
"You wanna find out?" I said letting go of the vehicle and standing in the road. John let go as well and stormed over to me. Richard looked over at us.
"Hey you two stop it! Settle this back home! Just please keep a hold of the vehicle yeah!?" Richard yelled nervously. We ignored him and glared at each other.
"Think you're so tough now huh? I'm goin to enjoy this." John laughed.
"Go on then! Do what ye want you selfish fucker!" I yelled. Paul groaned and tried to reason with us. But it was no use. Olivia angrily trying to help Richrd with the vehicle as me and John tackled each other and wrestled on the hard asphalt. Paul yelling for us to break it up.
I was on top a few times, then it was John's turn. Punches and spit flying as we argued and rolled around. It wasn't until we heard Richard yell, then a loud crash, we stopped and turned to see what the ruckus was.
Richard groaned and cursed at the world as the van rolled down the road, flipping around and crashing into a tree. Olivia covering her eyes as Paul crossed his arms, shaking his head. I shoved John off me and stood up sloppily. The punches and kicks I recieved, finally beginning to settle in. I limped over to Richard.
"I'm sorry mate." I said placing my hand on his shoulder. He turned to me...his face full of anger. I was shocked when he pulled my hand off his shoulder and shook his head.
"Fuck off. All of you...well except Olivia. But the rest can just fuck off. I ask one thing. One simple fuckin task. To keep pushing the van. What do ye pricks do?? YE FUCKIN LET GO TO SETTLE YOUR OWN DAMN ISSUES WITH EACH OTHER AND LET ME DAD'S VEHICLE GET FUCKIN WRECKED!" He yelled the last part, making us all jump. "Maybe to the lot of you, it don't mean a damn thing! But it's my arse on the line! I'm the one getting fucked here! I'm the one who always sticks my neck out for you and what do I always get in return!? Shite! You all whine and moan about fuckin shit issues!? Ye lot fuckin ruined my father's vehicle! I'm tired of bein a part of your little group! I quit the band and this friendship!"
We all stood still and watched as he turned around and began walking on foot, down the road. Paul ran over to Richard, only to be told to fuck off. John shook his head and began walking as well. Olivia walked over to me and sighed.
"I'm sorry about all of this. I feel like I'm to blame. If I never got into that fight with Tracy.."
I held her hand. "It's not your fault love. This was going to happen sooner or later. Rather it 'appen now than later. Nip it at the bud." I shook my head.
"Bud. More like the whole rose." She said linking her arm with mine. I nodded.
"Come on, let's catch up with the others. We may have had a falling out. But atleast were all going the same way."
We began walking and caught up to the others. We all walked seperately. Richard way in front, John not to far behind with Paul. Me and Olivia in the back. Then it began to rain.
