Billys pov
The cops come as we lay on the floor her in my arms. She coughs "fuck" we're brought out on stretchers cameras flashing and I hold her hand seeing Stu taken into another ambulance. Her eyes meet mine and then roll back and she starts to flatline. What the fuck?! I try to sit up but I'm pushed down "you have to stay still" the person says and I weakly mutter "no." Taking her hand "CLEAR!" And her chest jumps. I killed her. Water fills my eyes and fall. "Clear!" Her chest jumps again as they shock her. I went too deep. I killed her. The woman I love is dead and I killed her. "Clear!" And I hear "we've got a rhythm. Clear!" And her heart starts again. "Step on it!" And I feel the ambulance get faster. I keep her hand clutched in mine. Her eyes meet mine dazed "B?" I nod "I'm here Court" and the ambulance stops and we're wheeled out and separated which I try to get off the stretcher and go to her but I'm held down "we know it's hard for you to be separated from them right about now. But you need to worry about yourself first" the nurse speaks.
Soon I'm stitched up and the sheriff comes in "can I ask you a few questions billy?" "Wheres Courtney? I need to see Courtney. Is she okay? She was flatlining in the ambulance" I reply sitting up. I ask "where is she?" He says "The knife punctured her appendix and liver" fuck. He adds "she lost too much blood" I shake my head my tears falling "is she dead?" My heart hurts. "She's in surgery right now. Seems she's got it worse out of you three" he replies and I sigh in relief. "What happened billy?" He asks me. "I fucked up" I sigh. "What?" He asks. "Courtney and I...I didn't want to hurt Sidney. I was her first everything...almost. I just...fell in love with my best friend and we just couldn't stop. Sidney caught us and was upset. Her father knew. He told us when we were being held by him. He hated Courtney. You see...Courtney is Maureen prescotts daughter she had out of wedlock with Courtney's father. Courtney found out and came to me upset but he couldn't have her talking." I reply and he writes it down. "Neil Prescott did this?" And shows me a picture of Sidney in the tree and I flinch from the sight "yeah. He called her a slut and took her told me I deserved it. He apologized to her too he snapped sheriff"
He asks "how much do you know about Courtney Sawyer?" What? "Everything. She's my person" I reply. "Then you're aware of how messed up she's been since her family's death" he points out. I look at him like he's crazy "you're not suggesting she did this right? Sir. Courtney is in surgery right now as we speak and might not make it. She's been mourning with me by her side. Stu too. She wouldn't hurt a fly." I defend my lover.
"She has motive. She found out her mother isn't her mother but Maureen Prescott was. Maureen gave her away. That could've angered her made her snap" he lists. I reply "it wasn't her okay? She was with me. And when she wasn't she was with Stu. It's the 2nd anniversary of her family dying and her almost dying too. And we threw the party to take her mind off of it. To cheer her up" "does she hunt. I know her dad did" he replies. I chuckle "she likes horror movies. But as I said she wouldn't hurt a fly. The truth of who she actually is killed her inside sheriff. I've never seen her so broken and confused" he nods and the door opens and it's my dad "billy" he actually gives a shit? "Are you alright?" "I need to check on Stu" I reply getting out of bed taking the meds with me. I find Stu sitting on a bench outside a room "they've got her just right there doing surgery" he speaks.
I nod "she flatlined in the ambulance with me. I've never been so scared before but right there...losing her. God Stu. It hurts" he pats my shoulder "she's strong she'll make it Billy. She's gotta make it. She's our glue" I nod "that she is." I ask "the sheriff ask you questions?" He nods "he thinks she did this" "I know. She doesn't deserve the blame for this" I reply seeing people and I know there's ears everywhere. The door opens and we stand wincing in a bit of pain "how did it go?" I ask. She questions "you family?" "The only family she has. They all died 2 years ago today" I reply.
She replies "she's stable. We repaired her liver and had to remove her appendix. She's going to be wheeled into her room and sleep and be monitored accordingly" Stu says "we're not leaving her" "you're both patients and should be in your own rooms. Not worried about her" she sasses I scoff "she's my girlfriend. I watched her flatline in the ambulance. And watched her get stabbed tonight. We all almost got murdered. Show a little bit of fucking compassion and let us stay with her. None of us want to be alone right now" she nods and says "shower fist" walking off with her bed that comes out.
