P-prom-mise me that-t you-u will sto-op."

"I promise."

Bill's word echoed in her mind on repeat, she wanted the pain, she needed it but she had made a promise, a promise that she didn't want to break.

She sat their staring at the razor for what felt like hours, she was going crazy, she needed to feel something, anything at all and cutting was the only way she could.

She picked it up hesitantly, she was just about to place it on her arm when she felt someone's presence behind her. She looked back to see Bill standing there, tears falling down his face. He still managed to look emotionless even though he was crying.

He gently snatched the razor from her hand and hugged her tightly, she cried on his shoulder uncontrollably. He kissed her forehead and looked at her and wiped her tears away with his thumb.

"D-don't br-reak-k your-r pr-romise-e." he whispered to her.

This time, Bill walked in on her already in the middle of the deed, blood was already trickling down her wrist.

Bill stopped dead in his tracks staring at the girl in front of him. He was shocked, he wanted to scream and shout but nothing came out. It was as if he was paralysed. The only emotion he felt was anger.

He was mad. Mad because she was hurting herself, mad because she was hurting him, mad because he didn't know the reason on why she was doing this.

He grabbed her hand and that's when she realised that he'd seen all of it, she had broken her promise.

"You-u br-broke yo-our
pr-romise." he muttered angrily to her as he dragged her to the bathroom. He put her wrists her under the water, she flinched slightly but she loved the feeling, she wasn't feeling numb and that's all that mattered to her.

"I'm sorry." she said as they walked out the bathroom.

He slightly nodded and hugged her, they stayed like that until Bill spoke up again.

"Don't-t l-leave-e me."

"I promise I won't."

"In loving memory of Beverly Marsh, we stand here today to bid goodbye to such a pure and innocent soul."

Years passed, Bill was still shaken, it had been exactly four years since she committed suicide.

Bill stood in front of her grave, just talking to her as if she was there. He knew she was gone, gone forever but that was too much for him to think about. He had lost his best friend, the girl he loved, he had lost it all.

"Yo-ou left-t me. You-u br-broke yo-our pr-romise." he whispered to her grave as tears filled his eyes.

Another few years passed by, Bill was now an adult, he even started working. He was thinking about his best friend again when he heard the phone ring, he picked it up and started speaking.

"Nation-nal Sui-icide-e Pr-rev-vention Li-ifeline-e, than-nk you for re-eaching out! How ma-ay I help-p you?"
