Got My Mind Set On You

Chapter 29

I ran through the hospital floor, running faster and faster, I spun to avoid a cart and jumped over a kneeling nurse. I got word of Ringo being moved or something and I had to make sure they weren't moving him to hospice(it's where you go when they know you're going to die) I slid on the floor and ran into his room. I could hear my heart beat in my ears and saw a doctor talking to George. "What's going on?" I asked from the doorway. "They're telling me he's not....going to make it" George said while choking on his tears. "No please I know he will. I know he will." I said while sobbing. "Claire come here." George instructed. I got up and walked toward him. He spun me around and showed me the tv "well we wanted to say we will have to cancel the Beatles tour due to Ringo being very very ill." I heard Paul say. I blinked away tears as John started speaking because Paul was beginning to cry.

"He's very very ill and we have to be there for Claire. She's our best friend and Ringos future wife. We love her, so much she was recently kidnapped and we found her but ended up going missing ourselves. We love her so much. She's everything to us. If you're watching Claire, we love you and always will"

I smiled for the first time in months while crying. "It's true....I love you and so do the boys" George whispered while hugging me from behind. "Ringo loves you. And I know if you're still here to fight he'll pull through." He whispered in my ear before kissing my cheek. "I love you George, and I love Ringo, and the others." I turned around and hugged him while smiling. Our embrace was interrupted by doctors whisking away Ringo to have tests done on him. I sat with George and cuddled with him, I was so worried I kept crying into George's wrinkled suit. "God help me I don't know how much longer I can see him like that" I whispered while crying. "Shhhh Claire he'll be okay, you've fought this long and I know he can pull through" George whispered while kissing my head. I drifted off to sleep in George's arms and started having another nightmare

"Ringo? Oh Ringo!" I called after him. He kept running from me. "Claire come and get me!" He laughed. Then he fell into a dark hole. No no. "Claire help! Help me!" He called. No no no..."RINGO NO!" I screamed. "No NO NO NO PLEASE....NO..." I cried. Then I felt my body begin to shake

"CLAIRE WAKE UP!" George yelled. "What?!" I yelled back. "You were having a nightmare..you kept screaming no Ringo no." He whispered while hugging me. "I'm okay...he just fell into a hole and called after me. I couldn't save him..." I said as I began to weep. "Shhhh he's alright he's back from testing and the doctor said he's improved slightly." I smiled again. Thank goodness. But then his heart monitor started a long beep. Oh god. I flung from George and ran to Ringos bed.
