Pure love - Billverly

Chapter 21

Stanley put down the phone and walked to Bill's room. He knocked first and Bill welcomed him in.

Bill looked at his friend who was sad.
"Stanley, what happened? Is Bev ok?" asked Bill hopefully
"No, she isn't. The doctors think she might not make it. I was talking to Richie and a alarm was heard from the surgery room Beverly was in." said Stan
" I need to see her! Take me to her" said Bill
" But...ok let's go and see her." said Stan
They got in the car and arrived at the hospital. The others were looking sad at them. Bill kneeled down and cried.
Eddie came in and looked at Bill.
"Bill, I am so sorry, but Bev is in a coma. We just have to wait for her to wake up." said Eddie
Bill walked next to her bed and took her hand in his.
"Let's leave him alone with Beverly. He needs to talk to her without us spying on them." said Stan
They got up and left the hospital room.
Bill looked at Beverly's face. Her face was covered by the oxygen mask. His tears streamed down his cheeks.
"Bev,please, don't leave me. Wake up for me..." whispered Bill who couldn't form any words without crying.
"Bev...I-I..." his voice cracked under his tears.
Bad thoughts filled Bill's head:,, You did it! She's going to die and it's all because of you! You should've been in her place! It's your fault, stupid boy!"
Stan and Richie came to check on Bill.
"Bill, here take this." said Richie who handed him a napkin to wipe his tears.
"Take a sip, please" said Stan who gave him a bottle of water.
Bill nodded and drank the water Stan gave him.
"It's my fault!"said Bill
"This isn't your fault, Bill. Take that idea out of your head. Beverly..." said Stan
"Beverly will die and it's all because of me. If I hadn't invited her that afternoon at the sewers she would have been fine!" yelled Bill.
"Bill, you made her happy. You gave her a reason to live. To not give up on life. You changed her life, Bill, for the better." said Stan
Bill kissed Beverly's head.
"Sweet dreams, I'll see you in the morning." said Bill.
Bill invited his friends over in order to not spend the night alone.

After a few days, Bill was in the hospital room and Beverly's alarm turned on. Nurses and doctors came and shut Bill out of the room.
"She died" said a nurse to Bill
That's all he heard before he woke up in the night.
"Bill, what happened?" asked Richie who wasn't sleeping for some reason
"Nightmare...I need to sleep for Beverly, but I can't!!!" cried Bill
"I know how you feel. Sometimes I worry about Eddie. I worry that he might get really sick and die because I am stupid and I don't know how to help him." Said Richie
"You never told me that" whispered Bill
"You never asked" smiled Richie
"I guess I am too obsessed with college and Beverly. I forgot how to listen to my friends" said Bill
"Hey.....it's fine. Go to sleep or I'll tell Bev that you worried about her and didn't sleep." threatened Richie
"Ohhhh....I am so scared." smiled Bill
"It's two in the morning, go to sleep!" yelled Stan
"Stop yelling, Stanley!!!!" yelled Samantha.
"You are yelling too!" yelled Stan again.
They went to sleep and the next day Bill took flowers for Beverly.
"Beverly, these are for you." said Bill.
"Th....ank you" mumbled Beverly
"She woke up!" yelled Bill and hurried to her to kiss her.
"Let the girl breathe, Billy. She isn't going anywhere." said Richie
"I love you" confessed Bill
"I love you too, Billy" whispered Beverly
Bill cried. He loves the way she pronounces "Billy". He missed her laugh, her lips...He missed her.
