It was as if their former ease with one another had all but disappeared, had never been. Such a dichotomy George was!
That’s so sad. Of course you see it with couples sometimes, when they become so immured in each other that they cut off everything and everybody else. And this is even more intense. And I agree that in real life, George really was a dichotomy.

But now George was fading, and Ritchie knew it had to do with John's manipulations. George looked drawn and weary and emaciated, and so unhinged he could fly away. All the spirit had gone out of him.
and
He was damaged goods.
:( Both of those made me want to cryyyy! So George isn’t only becoming withdrawn around John, but Ritchie too. I guess that’s to do with how John is using him - basically as his own little “sex slave” as he joked earlier. I mean, I know John has true feelings for George, but George doesn’t know that. Owww. =( Johnny needs to let him out… let him do something ELSE for a while!
JOHHHHNNN, you’ve MESSED him up!!!

Sure, George had his good traits,

George is embarrassed now by the situation, and he doesn't feel comfortable around Ringo because he thinks he doesn't deserve him as a friend. Ringo is nervous because he's realizing he likes George too. But in a much more caring way than John does. Don't worry, though, Ringo's not giving up that easily!

George being sexy?! Haha! Yes, though most of us here love George, most either see him as sexy, or not, there's no in-between, it seems. On another forum so many females are George lovers that one guy posted saying If women think George is good-looking, maybe there's hope yet for all men! Lol! (But count me as among the ones who find him very attractive/handsome/sexy)!

Thank you for saying I was handling the writing of Paul, I wasn't sure. That means a lot!

Oooooooh how exciting. So he knows then. I must say, he handled it pretty maturely. I wonder if thats the end though?

It's really sad how George seems to be a shadow of his former-self thanks to John's obsession. And sad how he thinks him liking John is some sort of illness. I like Ritchie and Paul's concern for him, I feel it. He really needs a bit of proper care. And sleep by the sounds of it.

I could feel the tension in the first part, of him and John having been caught.

Love it. Look forward to whatever is coming next....!

I don't know if John handled it maturely, or I just cut the scene short because I'm no good with violence, lol!

I don't think it's the homosexual aspect that George thinks is sick, he knows it's not healthy for he and John to be so wrapped up in one another, and John's obsession is to the detriment of the other areas of George's life, yet George willingly comes back for more. But I had to write it like that so it was more consensual, and not just George being taken advantage of---if that makes sense!

I'm glad you say you "felt" the concern of Ritchie and Paul, and "felt" the tension; very encouraging to get feedback like that!

I'm going to miss your story when you're finished!

[sweetxrevenge3]

Mhmmm.
xD
George wants to stay, 'eh?
*excited*

Poor Ritchie tho.

Can't wait for you next update, love.
Adore this story.

[larainefan]

George will be with John a few more days at least, then he may have another adventure in store, if I can get around to writing a sequel to this!

[hey_skip]

Jeez john jealous much :/

[larainefan]

Yes, jealous, obsessive, controlling! :)

[macca44552]

Aww! I felt badly for Ringo here! He was trying to help George, but the latter was withdrawn and cold-ish. Look what you've done to him John!!!!! You need to leave him alone for a little while

[larainefan]

Ringo didn't get too far here, but don't count Ringo out yet, lol! And actually it's mostly you and Dooleynoted that is taking the story in a whole new direction, from the beginning encouraging me to add more Ringo. And now I've been watching more George/Ringo Beatles footage, and seeing more, my eyes have been opened!

John didn't flip out more because I can't write a good violence scene, I hate violence, so if John reacted kind of lukewarm, that is due to my laziness/inability, lol!

Thank you and hihopes for saying I managed to write Paul well. It's hard to pin him down, he's the Beatle I feel the least connection with, though I do realize his importance within the group.

I'm thinking 3 or 5 more chapters of this? Then maybe a sequel?
