Adopted By Heathers

Chapter 8: I Will Sing No Requiem

I know the chapter name is from DEH but I just thought it would work rlly well with the chapter

Chapter 8:

Jessica's POV:

"It's best to say your goodbyes now. I'm a parent myself, so I know how this feels. I'll give you some time." The doctor said, leaving. We (the cast of Heathers) all don't know what to say. Has our luck run out at last? The doctor leaves, and Katie steps forward. "Willa, I never really talked to you a lot..."

Willa's POV

"Let me out! Let me out!" I don't know how long I've been yelling this. Now I find myself being drawn to the bright light in the distance. I try to tell myself that if I go there, I'm dead, but I can't stop myself. Then I hear a voice. I stop and lookup. It's Katie's voice... Are they saying... goodbye to me? I sit down and cry. They are... I look up and see the bright light, just a couple of feet away. They must be. 

All of them say how much they would miss me, that they're devastated, and all that jazz, and I just cry more and more. Then Jess speaks. And it just breaks me. "Willa, I loved you as my second daughter. I don't know if you can hear me, but I will always love you. No other girl will take your place. No other girl will fill the triangle of my family which was me, Libby, and you. I will miss you every hour of every day. And I know everyone else will. Bye Willow." After Jess speaks, I feel a sudden burst of energy combined with unbearable sadness. I get up and run into the distance, with all the strength I have, yelling, shouting, with all the voice I have, "LET ME OUT!"

Then, I open my eyes. I've done it.

I'm alive.

Jess screams. "Willa! Oh my god are you alive?" I put a hand to my head. It's aching a lot. "Jess?" I ask. She lays a hand on my face. "Its me, Willa. It's Jess." She starts crying. The rest of the cast is just standing there in shock. Then everyone comes towards me, touching me, making sure that I'm actually alive, reassuring themselves. Ryan apologized repeatedly, saying it was all his fault and beating himself up about it. "Ryan, seriously. It's fine." I say. 

"I could have killed you Willa! It's not fine!" he says, pacing around the small hospital room. Alice puts a hand on his shoulder. "Ryan, listen to her. No one could have guessed that this would happen. Stop beating yourself up about it." Ryan sighs. "You're right Alice." he says and reaches out to me. 

But in the bustle of the cast comforting me, I hear Cat sighing. "Just another chance to have all the attention on Willow." Red puts a hand on her. "Hey, it's not nice to do that. They were all fussing over you about a month and a half ago. So now they're fussing over Willow. At least they won't ask you about Ethan so much anymore." Shooting a covert look around (while I quickly looked away), Red whispered just barely enough for me to hear, "At least you won't have to hide from them for a long time more. Only 4 more months and you'll be 17. You will do it right?" Cat grabs Red's arm. "Shush! We're in public! What the heck Red!" Red smirks. "As I said, only 4 more months." She raises her voice and says, "I'm going to get a snack. What do you guys want?" Cat and Red are hiding something. I know it. But what is it? And then I remember that I haven't come out of the closet to the cast yet. Could it be something like that?
