Bill spend his days  next to Beverly in the hospital. Their friends would come often to joke and play cards. Their friends were in the cafeteria to bring some food.
"Thank you for being a part of my life, Bill. Thank you for staying next to me and for saving me." said Beverly
"No problem. You are my girlfriend." replied Bill
Bill moved next to Beverly and leaned for a kiss. Beverly answered the kiss.
A nurse came in to make last checks on Beverly.
"Well, Miss Marsh, you will be out in two days. After that I have to make sure you won't make any unnecessary effort. Don't stress out and don't run much. You will take care of her, don't you?" asked the nurse
"Of course, I will make sure that this young lady will be treated as she deserves." Bill smiled.
"Can we come in?" asked Stan with a tray full of food.
"Bring that food to me." said Beverly
Beverly and Bill are together the food Stan brought them.
"Bill, didn't you forget something?" smirked Stan
"Ohhh....yeah." Bill pulled out a small box and kneeled down next to Beverly's bed.
"Will you marry me?" proposed Bill
"Yes, I will." answered Beverly and kissed Bill on his lips.
"Ok, guys, come in." Shouted Stan and their friends came in and celebrate their engagement.
" I am sorry it's not as romantic as you expected, Beverly. We can throw a real party when you get better."
"I like this one, Bill. We have each other and we have our friends next to us. It's perfect for me."
Bill and Beverly sat next to each other and enjoyed a wonderful party.
 
After a week, Beverly was ready to go home. Bill helped her with everything she needed.
"Bill, I can walk, you don't have to bring me everything I need." said Beverly
"Your doctor said no effort."
"I know...I am just scared that you might get hurt."
"I am fine, I can walk short distances. Now I am going to use the bathroom."
Bill kissed Beverly and she went to the bathroom. Stanley came in.
"Hey, I have to tell you something." said Stan
"Is everything okay?" asked Bill concerned
"I still have the thoughts about...you know, but they didn't make me do it. I think I need professional help." said Stanley
" Thank you for telling me. I will help find a therapist and you'll be the old Stanley we know."
"I am the old Stanley you know...anyway congratulations for your engagement, Bill." congratulated Stan
"Thank you. I can't believe I proposed. I just love her and if she wants to get married later, we will."
"Next year is okay for you, Billy?" asked Beverly
"Oh, Stanley I didn't see you there. What's up?" she asked again
"I am okay...a little tired " answered Stan
" Next year is perfect for me." said Bill

It was midnight and all the losers went to sleep. Bill was thinking about his friends and Beverly. They are the most important people in his life and he can't imagine his life without them.
He went downstairs to get a glass of water and saw Stanley drinking a glass of water.
"Are you okay?" said Bill
Stan nods and he looks like he's zoned out.
"Hey.....Stan....it's me, Bill."
Stan stands up and walks to his room. Samantha was awake and saw Stan acting weird.
"Stanley, you tell me what's going on right now." she said.
Stanley looked like he didn't hear her.
"Hey, I am here...tell me what's wrong." she asked him to answer her.
Bill knocked at the door and entered the room.
"I can't get rid of them, okay?! It's torture for me. I want to stop them as soon as possible." said Stan
"Leave him alone, he can't talk about this right now and we won't force him." said Beverly
"Thank you, Beverly "
"Now, we sleep" said Beverly and led Bill in their room.
"Don't worry, Bill. He will be fine. He just needs help." said Beverly
"Yeah." answered Bill still concerned for his friend
"I will talk to him about it. I will help him. Now, stop overthinking and go to sleep, Bill. Tomorrow we have to tell your mother about the engagement. I wish my aunt and mom were here" said Beverly
"I am sorry for what happened to them."
