Pure love - Billverly

Chapter 10

Bill's point of view

I got in the car and drove to Richie's house. I can hear the screaming coming from his room.
Richie went out of his house and saw me.

Author's point of view
"Big Bill, where have you been?" He said angry.
"What happened to you ?"
"Well, Eddie's an asshole that's what happened"
"Eddie's with you?"
"Yeah, we were playing video games and arguing like an old married couple." Richie laughed.
"Do you know where are Mike and Ben?"
"Well, Mike still lives with his grandpa and Ben moved after you moved. The group split up, Big Bill."
"Well, I need all of you, Stan is depressed and we need to get the group back together."
"Eduardo, get your ass over here, we have to help Stanley."
"You didn't keep in touch with Stan?" Bill asked while he was exiting Richie's yard.
"Nah, he drifted apart. Even in high school he was always alone. We tried to talk to him about it, but he was distant, what happened to him?" Asked Eddie
" He tried to kill himself. He said he's done with his life." answered Bill.
Richie and Eddie looked at each other and didn't say anything.

Beverly's point of view
Stanley is sleeping and I cleaned his room of papers and books maybe that will cheer him up.
I picked one of his books and read it. It's kinda boring, but ok.
I hear the door open and I saw all of our friends except Ben.
"Shhh...he's sleeping." I told them to be quiet in order not to wake him.
"We don't have to guard him at every moment." said Mike
They exited his room and went downstairs in his living room.
"I've missed you" said Beverly and hugged them.
"Molly Ringwald" smiled Richie and hugged her.
Stan woke up and entered the living room. All of his friends were there waiting for him.
"Stan the Man, glad to see you there." said Richie.
Stan smiled and sat next to them. Bill looked at Beverly and reminded how much he loved her.
All of their memories spent together are replaying in his head. Their first kiss in the third grade, the meet at the pharmacy and the others that followed. He walked up to her and sat next to her smiling. All of the losers were smiling and having a great time.
Beverly took Bill's hand in hers and smiled.
"You two would be great together." said Stan almost smiling at them. " They both blushed and turned away. It seems like their awkwardness didn't fade out with ages, but will these two pull up the courage to make the first step ?
Richie played a song on the radio and started to dance wishing that all the other losers could join him.
"Common guys, let's light the mood." he said.
Eddie took off his backpack and started to read one of his Med school books.
" You've to be kidding me Eds. We are here to have fun, not to learn about germs or whatever are you doing here."
"Oh, so my education is less important than your fun?" asked Eddie annoyed.

Later on the losers were going to sleep. Beverly slept next to Bill. Bill put his hand around her waist pulling her closer to him. Stan, on the other hand was up.
The cruel thoughts are filling his head and he can't escape them. The voices are getting louder and louder asking for his pain and life. He screamed out trying to cover the voices and his friends woke up in shook. He was hyperventilating and with blood coming out of his arms. His face was wet from tears of pain. He wants his life to end right now. He can't take it anymore. They rushed to him trying to take the razor out of hands, but he made a new cut. He is shaking uncontrollably and he is crying. There were also cuts on his fingers, blood dripping off them.

"Stan" said Beverly crying.
"I am sorry. I had to stop them. They want me dead. I want to stop them. I hate myself." Stan cried.
"Don't be sorry, Stan" said Bill" We'll figure it out.
We are going to help you."

Stan dropped the razor and kneeled down crying. 
They formed a group hug, covering Stan.
Eddie broke it first walking o the bathroom to get the Med kit to help Stan clean himself. He hissed when Eddie touched him.

" I am sorry, Stan, but I need to help you."

A girl was walking on the street. She was searching for a boy from her college who lives in this town. She drove all the way from Yale to search for him.
She was long dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.

She parked her car in front of a house. She hears screaming and crying coming from it.
The door was wide open and she entered the house.

"Stanley, I have come to see you. The teachers are worried about you. We all are...I am worried." she said in hope that he will come and explain her what happened. She went upstairs and she saw the losers helping Stan clean himself.
"What happened?" she asked. 
"How did you get in here?" Stan asked back
"The front door was open. What happened Stan?" she looked at his arms seeing the cuts.
Stan blushed and looked away, ashamed of his current condition. She ran to him and hugged him.
"Who are you ?" asked Beverly
" I am Samantha, you?"
"I am Beverly, and they are Bill, Mike, Richie and Eddie."
The boys entered Stan's room and Beverly and Samantha were left alone.
"I am sorry that I made him feel bad, entering like that in his house. I am so ashamed." said Samantha
"Don't be, it means that you care about him."
"What happened to him?"
"It's a long story, but it is better if he tells you." Beverly answered
Bill came in the kitchen and took some towels and left.

After a while all the losers returned to their home. Beverly went to bed and the nightmares began. She got up scared and went to Bill's room.
"Can I sleep with you?" Beverly asked
"Yeah, it will bring back old memories"
She put her head next to him. Bill hugged her by her back.
"Am I making you feel uncomfortable?" Bill asked.
"No, Billy, you aren't." Bev smiled sadly
"What happened?"
" Stan's condition is worrying me."
"We are going to help him, now he is with this girl Samantha, she is going to call us if something happens." Bill reassured her.
"Is she more beautiful than me?" laughed Beverly
"No, you are the most beautiful girl in the world." Bill kissed her on her cheek.
