George:

The lads and I walked down the street. It was 8 O'clock at night and nobody was out. The Liverpool streets were covered in water from the rain that had finally seized. John and Paul were talking about our tour in a month while ringo took pictures on his camera.  I just looked ahead walking to our destination, Home. my thoughts were interrupted by a sound of crying. " Guy's you hear that" i said stopping to listen. " yeah" they all said at the same time stopping beside me. " it's coming from that alley let's go see what it is" i said walking towards the alley. " don't do that" john said. I turned around. " why someone could be hurt now come on lennon" i said then turned around and walked into the alley. The sound of footsteps followed. The crying got louder as I approached a dumpster. i looked on the other side and there sat a little girl.  The other lads filed behind me. I looked at them and they looked at me. I shrugged my shoulders and bent down.  i had no clue what to say. "umm uh little girl why are you out here" i said the lads all stifled a laugh. I looked at them and they held there lips together. As I was looking at them I felt two as wrap around my kneck. i looked back and the little girl was hugging me. I looked at the lads and they shrugged. i picked the girl up. " what's your name love" i asked her softly.  " prudence " she said in a small voice. " that's a beautiful name prudence now how old are ya " i asked.  she looked at me and held up four fingers. " wow your a big girl" i said acting amazed.  She giggled and shook her head yes. " so now tell me why are you out here" i asked with a concerned face. her smile faded and she looked down sad. " dad don't love me he left me here said I was bad" she said plying with her tiny fingers. i looked at the guys they all looked at me with sad expressions. " I'm sure your not bad love hmm let's see if it's okay with the lads you can stay with us" i said turning to face them they all shook there heads yes her face lit up. " please um uh" she said trying to find my name. "george" i said with a smile. " george" prudence said with a smile. " alright now let's get home before it gets any colder" paul said.  After he said that it's started raining. The lads started running to hurry up and get home. I held prudence close to me wrapping my jacket around her and me. I took off running. It was about 3 blocks away and once we got to the flat we were all soaking wet even prudence.  " why must we always get stuck in the rain" ringo complained. The lads walked upstairs to get changed. i sat prudence on the couch.  She had lite brown hair and blue eyes that reminded you of ringos. She shivered because of her wet clothes. "Paul " i yelled.  He trotted down stairs. "yes georgie" paul said. i glared at him. "what should I do about clothes she doesn't have any" i told paul.  He thought for a moment then started to speak. "well you could change her into one of your shirts it should be baggy enough to be like like a dress" he said. " that's not a bad idea okay thanks paulie " i said. " welcome " paul walked into the kitchen. " come here" i said she lifted out her arms and i picked her up. i carried her up stairs to my room.  I sat her down on the floor  and i went to my dresser.  She was really quite like me. I pulled out a black tshirt. i crouched down in front of prudence.  " you need me to help you or can you get dressed" i asked her. " i got it" she said with a smile. " alright if you need me I'll be in the hallway" i told her. She nodded and i went to the hallway. i closed the door and stood there right by it in case case she needed help. After a few minutes the door opened and she had my baggy shirt on that looked like like a dress on her and her dirty clothes folded up In her hands. I was impressed.  " here ya go" she said handing them to me. " thank you" i told her with a smile.  her stomach growled.  i chuckled.  " hungry" i asked she shook her head yes. "come on will find ya something" i said taking her  hand. We walked down stairs and all the lads sat in the kitchen talking and drinking tea. " hey Johnny could you put this in the wash while i get the lasse something to eat" i asked. " sure thing georgie" john got up and took the dirty dress to the wash. i sat prudence on the chair and walked over to the fridge. I searched through to find something she would eat. what would four year old eat i thought. "hey prudence what would you like to eat" i asked the little girl. She shrugged not knowing i guess. " get her something healthy she needs the vitamins and nutrients" ringo said then continuing to read his book. I got some carrots, cucumber, and blue berries out. I cut the cucumbers and carrots up.ringo walked over. "you need to cut them smaller and give her less so she doesn't choke and was asked at food" he said taking some and putting it on another plate.  He cut them up smaller and took the blueberries away. " why did you do that" i asked confused.  " you give her the veggies first so she eats them all then she gets her fruit only if she ate them all" ringo then took the plate to prudence. i was shocked he knew all of this. "how do you know all of this " i asked following him to the table. He just shrugged. " mum i guess" ringo said sitting down.  i nodded. John came back in and noticed all the chairs were taken.  He walked over to Prudence picked her up and and sat down. He put her in his lap so she could finish eating. He acted like a father and it just warmed my heart to see that. prudence ate all of her food quickly.  She then ate her blueberries.  ringo told me to clean her up then put her to bed. I said goodnight to the lads and so did prudy. i found a extra tooth brush for her to use. I brushed her teeth then cleaned her hands and face. I laid her down in my bed covering her up. "georgie I'm scared could you sleep wif me" she said. I couldn't say no to that face. " okay let me go get changed" i told her she nodded.  i grabbed my pajamas and went to the bathroom. when finished changing and came out she laid there sleeping.  I got into bed quietly. She wrapped her tiny arms around me and as far as she good reach. The last thought that popped in my head was how much me and the lads had adapted to her and how much I loved her already.  soon enough i was asleep.
