Stay with me (B.D.H)

⚠️ gun violence, blood and death

Hi my name is y/n and this is the story of how I died.
Sort of.
—————

Billie and I are on the way home from our 6 year anniversary dinner. We have been play arguing about tv shows almost the whole ride home. "Bil, baby I'm telling you the show ghost whisperer is better than than what the critics say." Billie giggles and shakes her head "y/n I agree." I scoff "I don't care what you- wait...you agree?" Billie smiles and is about to respond when my phone rings. "Hold that thought, Howard" I answer the phone.

"Y/n, we need you to come in." I sigh heavily and shut my eyes "tonight is my wedding anniversary. Can't it wait til tomorrow?" My intern apologizes repeatedly before saying "it's an emergency. The ER is completely backed up. There was an incident and Dr. Miller, Dr. Evans, and Dr. Jones are held up in an O.R. You are the only other trauma surgeon." I look over at billie and see her telling me it's okay. I sigh "I'll be there asap"

Billie turns around and speeds towards the hospital "I'm sorry honey-" billie cuts me off by taking my hand in hers. "Y/n It's okay. I knew what I was getting into marrying a surgeon. You don't have to apologize for doing your job." I give her a weak smile "plus, you can make it up to me later." She says with a smirk and shoots me a wink. I giggle "yes ma'am" billie pulls into the hospital and parks the car. I lean over and give her a passionate kiss before kissing her nose and forehead "I'll see you at home, my love" billie smiles "go save lives" I nod and hop out of the car.

I run into the hospital and slip on my coat. "What do we have?"

"WILSON, MICHAELS, YOUR WITH ME! TAKE HIM TO TRAUMA 2" I say as I hop on top of a gurney and begin chest compressions, while my second year wheels him into the room and my nurse places an oxygen mask. As I'm assessing my patients gunshot wounds I ask "what the hell happened to him?" One of the paramedics In the room says "shooting. Some maniac decided he was going to walk into the mall and open fire." I shake my head and suture up the now cleaned wound "Jesus. Did they catch the shooter?" I ask. The paramedic stays silent so I glance up and see him shake his head "no. He ran before officers arrived."

I finish with my first patient and help the other doctors care for the new ones coming in. As the rush comes to an end and the majority of patients are patched up, my exhaustion hits me. "I need a coffee" Dr. Miller is out of surgery and says "I'll watch your patients go wake yourself up." I nod "thanks." As I'm waiting for my coffee to brew I FaceTime Billie. "Hey baby" she answers. I sigh "hi love." Billie sighs and lays back in bed "how's work?" I huff and yawn "some guy opened fire in the mall." Billie gasps "my god what is wrong with people?" I grab the coffee pot and pour it into the biggest mug I can find "tell me about it. The worst part is the guy ran before the cops could arrive."

Billie is about to respond when I hear gunshots and screams. Billie sits up "Y/N! what was that?!" I look out the break room and see a man pointing a gun. I duck back into the room and quietly shut the door and lock it. "Fuck." I whisper my anxiety rising. "Y/n?!" Billie says frantically.  I lower the volume to my phone "He's in the hospital " I whisper "oh god baby where are you?" I turn off the break room light and sit with my back against the thick metal door. "I'm in the break room" screams are heard down the hallway. "Are you safe?!" I hear slow, heavy footsteps walking in my direction. "sh-hhh-h" I whisper shakily. The handle rattles and I cover my mouth with my hand as tears stream down my cheeks. Billie is dead silent. I can see her eyes a little watery.

The handle is released then I hear a scream and a gunshot. I release a quiet, shaky sob. "Y/n baby Im calling the police" Billie whispers and I see the 'paused' screen. The footsteps get further and further away from the door then....silence. "Help" I hear a small voice. I know that voice. It's Sofia, my 9 year old patient in the recovery room. Before my brain can register what I'm doing I've already opened the door and ran across into her room. "Shhhh it's okay." The girl is crying and shaking. I sign to her to cover her mouth. She does and I hear the footsteps again. I look at the door and realize it's not locked. "Fuck." I cover the small girl with my body and brace myself.

I hear a gun cock then "y/n?" Billies voice. I sob "I love you Billie Dean" I whisper through tears. "Y/n?Where the hell are you?!" I shut my eyes as a gun is placed to my back. I can see billie covering her mouth crying. "Are you Dr. Howard?" Billie shakes her head. I stay silent "ARE. YOU. DR. HOWARD!" I can't speak. He points the gun at Sofia making the small girl scream and sob. "Yes! Yes, I'm Dr. Howard" the man grabs my phone "say goodbye to your wife." He put the phone in front of my face and I see billie in tears "y/n." I sob and give billie a sad smile "I love you Billie. I always will."

Billie cries and shakes her head "No y/n" I breathe shakily "billie I need to hear you say it." Billie sobs "I love you y/n y/l/n." The man laughs "goodbye" he hangs up on Billie and drags me out of Sofia's room.
