Paul, George, and Ringo talked about what they could do to keep John safe from Mark David Chapman. Ringo said, "We could hide him somewhere." George said, "That's all very well, but that's easier said than done. Where would we hide him? London doesn't have a lot of hiding places." Paul remarked, "Who said it had to be in London?" George and Ringo looked at Paul, waiting to hear his suggestion. Paul said, "I have a farm in Scotland. John could stay at my place." Ringo said, "Brilliant, Paul! Scotland is miles away from London." George nodded in agreement. Later, Paul, George, and Ringo told John about the idea. John felt relief. Surely he would be safe in Scotland. Also, with Paul around, John would definitely be safe. When John arrived at Paul's, Paul said, "You look exhausted, John. Perhaps you should get some rest." John soon went to sleep, and he slept like he hadn't slept in years. After he woke up, he checked his e-mail. He saw another e-mail from Hazel. The message said, "Hi, John. Did you show your mates the video I sent you?" He replied, "Yes, I did. Don't worry. I'm at Paul's. I'm sure to be safe there." She said, "Jolly good. If you'd like, my friends and I could shield you, too." When John read this, his eyes widened. "Are you crazy, Hazel?! You could get yourself hurt or worse! I don't want you to get hurt or killed for my sake." He at first put it in all caps, but he changed it to avoid sounding rude. Hazel was determined, however, and she said, "I'd rather it be me than you or your mates." John was touched by this. He was ready to cry, but Paul came in. John didn't want Paul to see him crying. Paul asked, "Are you all right, John?" John managed to smile and said, "Yes, I am." Paul said, "You know, you can tell me anything." John said, "Read this." He showed Paul the conversation with Hazel. Paul said, "I'm touched. We really do mean a lot to our fans, don't we?" John said, "We do." Paul asked, "Does this mean we're not breaking up?" John said, "No, Paul. We're not breaking up, ever. Just don't make it mushy, all right?" Paul laughed a little and said, "Right, John."

If I Fell 5

The Beatles stopped in the doorway, a little surprised, but not very. Girls had gotten past security to see them before. Just this afternoon they had found a girl in their car boot, after all.
This girl, at least, wasn’t screaming, but looked at them with a pretty smile. Her fair-skinned face was made up like an actress’s and her shiny black hair fell to her shoulders before coming back up in a flip, held back by a red headband. She had on a red-and-blue dress that showed off her slender figure beautifully.
“There you are,” she said. “I’ve been waiting for you.” She spoke as though...

“Nice girls, these fans of ours,” said Paul. “But...”
“Good of them to show us they care and all,” Ringo agreed. “But...”
“And they buy all our records,” George reminded them. “We’d be in trouble without them. But sometimes I think they’re going to wind up smothering us if they keep this up.”
As one, the four boys nodded.
They were lounging around their hotel room, their suit jackets and ties hung up on the backs of chairs and light fixtures and similar, and the Beatles themselves were reclining on the couch and the rug and the bench for the piano that came with their...

If I Fell 3

Susan Leigh had planned this all perfectly. She would slip into the boot of the Beatles’ car while everyone else was distracted, while the Beatles were running away from all her fellow fans and they tried to catch the Beatles by chasing them. She would stow away to their hotel with them, hidden by the instruments and luggage in the back. And then when the boot was opened, and the Beatles found her, she would climb out and face her beloved boys, and she would look deep into Paul’s dreamy eyes and say....
“Eee! Paul!! Huminaminama....”
The Beatles stared at her. Susan twisted her fingers...

If I Fell 2

The airport in Emma’s hometown was completely packed, leaving no doubt in anyone’s mind as to who was coming there. Only one band could attract such a large, devoted crowd. Many of the girls there squealed and pushed forward to be closer to the barrier, hoping to touch her beloved boys as they arrived.
It was a bright, sunny afternoon, and everyone could see the plane come in as it circled low in the sky, some girls even fancying they could see the boys waving through the windows. A great cheer rose from the crowd. The plane touched down, and four young lads with their hair wonderfully,...
