August 16, 1960

You and Paul had been together for about two years, so when the offer came to Paul's band to get driven out to Hamburg, he with no hesitation brought you with.

It was a very long ride, more than 14 hours of road in the back of a van wasn't very fun or comfortable, but worth it, right?

Well, yes and no, Hamburg had a very 'Rated-X' reputation if described, neon signs, nasty pubs and hookers left and right. But you didn't seem to worry that much, or so you convinced yourself

You were right now sitting in the back of the van with the others, about 3 hours in. Paul was sitting next to you with an arm draped over your shoulder as their driver, Alan Williams, drove down the highway.

Pete was playing cards with Stuart while George and John were talking about how drunk they were gonna get once they've arrived.

(UPD: I js wanna say, the trip didn't take eight hours, it took like 2 days😭)
