Pattie took a deep breath and began sharing what she had planned to tell George. She said, "Okay, so this may come as quite shocking to you, but it's the awful truth. You see, I've been trapped in a troubled relationship with my boyfriend for some time now. His name is Adam. Everything was fine at first. Until, for some reason, he started acting up and neglecting me by a lack of visits even before this vacation of ours. As a matter of fact, after three days, he STILL hasn't returned to the hotel! I already wanted out with him, but no matter how much I try to, he always threatened to call my modeling agency and tell them the flat-out lie that I 'abused' him. Thus, I tend to get discouraged afterwards as I hate to lose my career just because of that. Oh, George, whatever did I do to deserve such a horrible treatment like this?" A tear streamed down her eye once she finished. Laura was shaking her head in disgust at Adam's actions while George couldn't help but show plenty of concern for Pattie by touching her cheek with his other hand. He replied as he tenderly wiped the tear off, "That is absolutely disgraceful. I'm so sorry about what you're going through, Pattie. However, you need to stay strong and keep trying to get out of this relationship no matter how much he sends those threats. They are nothing more than empty words. If ye ask me, I'm going to have to confront him one of these days!" Laura remarked, "You said it, daddy George! He needs to be taught a hard lesson." George said, "Exactly, Laura, darling!" Pattie smiled again and replied, "Gee. You're totally right, George. I'll give it another go when Adam comes back. Thanks for the great advice! I appreciate it." George responded, "You are veddy welcome, Pattie. That's the spirit!" He then gave her a pat on the shoulder. The banana split soon arrived, and they started enjoying it after taking some photos.

BingoPB It's so sad how many people get into abusive relationships.

60smusicluv Indeed.

RetroRock64 I feel bad for Pattie. I know what it's like to be in an abusive relationship. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Roldan13 I echo what Lenny said. I also know what it's like to be in an abusive relationship. They're not easy to get out of. Toxic people have a way of making you feel trapped, but I will tell anyone now: there is ALWAYS a way out, even if it doesn't seem like it.

RocknRollSoul60 Lenny and Jill: I'm sorry to hear you were in abusive relationships. I'm glad you got out of them. I know that Pattie definitely has a way out, with George and Laura on her side.

Peaceandlove67 Well said, Paul. Well said.

80smusiclover1 Absolutely. And to Lenny and Jill, I'm also sorry to hear you were in abusive relationships. Thank goodness you were both able to get out of them.

Rubyrings That's awful, Lenny and Jill. I'm so glad you got out of those relationships! I'm sure Pattie will, too, with George and Laura's help.

80smusiclover1 You bet she will!

"Penny Lane is sometimes... um, well... No, no, that won't work...."
It was late at night, and most of the boys in the yet-to-be-named band were sleeping. Paul had quietly gotten up and moved into the little hallway where he hopefully wouldn't disturb anyone, and was softly humming words to himself over quiet bass notes. The success of Winston's song today had inspired him. He wanted to be just like that - effortlessly writing songs about something he knew well, without putting much meaning into the lyrics. He had decided to start with a song about a special place, like Winston had. Paul could...
