Be Careful What You Wish For

Chapter 7

The plane is crashing. That was all I could think about as the plane shook like crazy, and I grabbed Bill's hand and held on to it as tightly as I could. I could hear children crying and people screaming, but all I could do was cling to Bill. We stayed that way for a few minutes, until we actually crashed on to the ground. The impact shook my whole body so badly and suddenly, there was blood everywhere. I turned to Bill and gasped in shock. His face and arms were covered in blood, and there was more blossoming onto his shirt.

"Hey, I- I lo-" that was all Bill could say before he fell unconscious. I panicked, and took off my seat belt with shaking fingers and took off his, which was sticky with blood. Then I stood up, and surveyed the rest of the plane. It was pure chaos. People were running out of the plane, screaming, there were some injured people trying to get out of their seat belt, and I think there were some dead bodies too. I hauled Bill up and dragged him out of the plane as quickly as I can. His body was so cold. I collapsed on the grass. Paramedics immediately carried Bill onto a stretcher and wheeled him into an ambulance. One of the paramedics gestured for me to follow, so I climbed into the ambulance. They shut the doors and we were immediately brought to the hospital.

When we arrived, Bill was immediately wheeled to the emergency room while I was checked up for any injuries. Thankfully, I only got a few cuts, nothing too serious, whereas Bill had apparently lost a whole a lot of blood when something, I don't know what, had broken off the plane and stabbed his body. Waiting for the doctors finally approached me, I jumped up and immediately asked "Is he okay?" One of the doctors cleared his throat and said in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry Miss, but Bill died of severe blood loss. We were too late." He... died? No, he couldn't die, he couldn't. Not Bill, the sweet, loving, funny, witty, Bill, my Bill, no... If having that wish come true meant this pain, I didn't want it. I wanted to unwish the wish. But how? Suddenly, everything went black.
