Got My Mind Set On You

Chapter 22

(Hmmm let's switch to Paul)

Paul's P.O.V

I was watching from the side of George's room but I saw it all..Claire was hit to the ground by Pete. My heart shattered into pieces but my body wouldn't allow me to move. I was frozen. Tears fell from my eyes as I longed to kiss her and hold her, but of course Ringo got to do all that. *stop it. She's hurt and you're jealous?! Get a grip Paul* my mind barged in. I realized I shouldn't be thinking that. I had to get to Claire. I then saw John jump out of no where and run toward Claire and hold her. Well shit. What was I supposed to do now?! Pete turned and tried to come after me. But he was attacked by Eddie. Eddie punched him and they started going at it. Thank god. I saw George on the phone and Then I heard him cry out for help. I tried going toward him but eddies dad got there first. I stood back like an idiot and felt terrible. I was hurt yes but I had to help someone. I ran toward John and Claire and John was holding her crying. I didn't realize it but she was so hurt. Her shoulder was bleeding through the bandage, her eyes were black and blue, her arms and legs were covered in bruises and i dropped down to my knees and John let me hold her. I sobbed and my tears fell on her broken body. I held her close. She was so cold. "What the fuck is this?" Shit. It's Pete. Eddie was on the ground holding his eye. "Get away from her. Haven't you done enough?" I screamed. I gave Claire to John and stood up. I was the same height as Pete and I locked eyes with him. "What are you gonna do about it pretty boy? Maybe this is why your mum died cuz she had the worst son ever. She couldn't risk living anymore cuz she didn't want to see her low life son" he spit. That's it. I thought. The anger swelled up inside me. First he hits my best friend in the world, he then kidnaps her, breaks Ringos body. Then insults my mum?!?! That. Is. It. I raised a fist, he was so drunk he had no idea what I was doing. I grabbed ahold of his neck strangling him. I released and threw the hardest punch I'd ever thrown before. Knocking him to the floor. I sat on top of him punching him over and over until I regained my sight. I broke his nose and his jaw but I wouldn't stop. I felt someone lift me off him and I kept kicking and punching the air. They put me down and I faced them. John. Claire had woken up and looked at me and was crying. I rushed to her and held her in my arms again. She put an arm around me and sobbed. "Thank you..I love you Paul." My anger had washed away and I sobbed into her. "I love you Claire and how he punched you and I saw you hit the floor I couldn't take it.." I trailed off. She stroked the back of my neck and ran her fingers through my hair. I loved her so much. She was so perfect in my eyes I couldn't lose her
