Chapter 17
"One... two... three!" John shouted. The three of them ran into the door, willing to bust it down. At the same moment, Paul had opened the door. The three of them ran into the room, not realizing the door was open, crashing into each other and all of them getting knocked unconscious.
Paul, being very confused, decided to get back to what he was doing. Maybe they were right. Eating ice cream and crying 78% of it out wouldn't solve anything. Well, nothing would at this point, but heck, he was so stressed and thought his idea might help.
Slowly grabbing and putting on a dark beige coat, he clutched his car keys. He tried to open the door. It was locked, thanks to Ring. But apparently Ringo forgot that it locks from the inside, so Paul unlocked it, lighting himself a cigarette and placing it in his mouth.
You know this won't help anything. You can't drink away your problems. You can't drink away the pain. You'll only drink away your sanity, pride, and money. And what comes from it? A hangover the next morning.
But he didn't care. He ignored his subconscious's warnings and drove on to the nearest bar.

George slowly lifted his head. Ringo and John were unconscious. Why John had an ice cream bucket on his head and Ringo was covered in sappy romance movies, he didn't want to know.
Ringo woke up next and quickly pushed away all the romance movies. Curiously looking at the stack, he began to organise them in a stack. "The Notebook, The Sound of Music, Gone With the Wind, how many romance movies does this lad own?
"I don't think you want the answer to that." John mumbled under the ice cream bucket. "Why is everything so dark? Why is everything so sticky? Why is everything echoing?"
"Maybe because you have a bucket on your head, Einstein." George said, pulling it off his older friend's head.
The three of them looked around. "Where's Paul?!?" They said in unison.
Racing out of the room, Ringo looked out the door. It was open. And Paul's car was missing.
"Told you he'd go to a bar first chance he could!"
