Would You Be Mine?, chapter 23
Recap
Mel, Mike and Tré watched him in silence. Everyone thought the same: she couldn't die. She just couldn't. She had all her life still to come. She had so many dreams: she wanted to marry and to be a mom. She couldn't just die. She had to live.

Mel, Mike and Tré gave Billie some time alone with Sarah. They went to get something for lunch.
Billie sat next to Sarah and cried silent tears. He kissed her hand and said she should wake up.
After a while the doctor came in and asked Billie to wait outside because he wanted to check her. He said it would only take some minutes. Billie did as he was told and waited outside.
The check-up took half an hour and after a while Billie got restless. Why did it take so long? A million horrible thoughts ran through his head. After 15 minutes a nurse came running out of the room. Billie tried to ask her what happened but she was in a hurry. After a while she returned with some stuff and another doctor. Billie was scared to death. He wanted to storm inside and see what happened but then again he was afraid what he would see.
After half an hour everyone left Sarah's room. Billie stormed to the doctor and asked what happened.
The doctor put an arm on his shoulder and said: "She woke up". Billie Joe couldn't believe what he heard.
"Can I see her?" he asked.
"Sure but she needs to rest. No stress." the doctor said with a warm smile.
Billie silently opened the door and saw Sarah looking out of the window.
"Hey sweetheart" Billie softly said
Sarah looked at him and smiled. But she had tears in her eyes.
"I lost it." she said, "I lost it." Billie took her hand and kissed her forehead.
"I know. But it's not your fault. Maybe the baby wasn't meant to live." he softly said.
"Thanks for being here" she said, "I've missed you"
"I've missed you too." he said giving her a kiss on the lips, "never do that again. I was scared to death."
Sarah smiled. She lost the baby but maybe it was good that way. The baby wasn't meant to be born.
When Mel, Mike and Tré returned they weren't allowed to stay in Sarah's room that long. But they were happy she was awake. Mel called Sarah's parents and when they arrived Billie left for a moment.
When he returned to the hospital he brought Sarah a huge bouquet of flowers. He knew how much she loved flowers and when she saw them her eyes were sparkling.
"Thank you so much. These are beautiful" she said and hugged him.
*normal POV (= Sarah's POV)*
Billie must have been really scared. I was happy that he was by my side.
I had to stay in hospital another two weeks. It was awful. The food was terrible, it was boring and everything was so pale.
Everyday Billie got a wheelchair and gently helped me in it. Then he took me into the garden of the hospital. He always brought me some food because I didn't like the food from the hospital. Green Day also rescheduled their tour. I told Billie I didn't want this but he wouldn't change his mind. He always said that if they are true fans then they'd understand. Billie stayed day and night with me.
He was happy that I got better from day to day. And I loved him more and more from day to day.
When I was allowed to go home Billie picked me up and handed me another huge bouquet of flowers.
"Welcome back, honey" he said and kissed me. I still had to walk on crutches but it was funny somehow. I was looking forward to kick Tré in the ass with my crutches but he already returned to California to get back to Vany.

"You know Sarah, I really want you to move to California with me." Billie said after we had dinner one day after I left the hospital.
"Really?" I mean, yeah... I'd love to" I said and kissed him, "But I need to talk to Mel first. I cannot leave her here all alone."
"Mel, can I talk to you a second?" I asked Mel who was coming out of the bathroom.
"Sure, shoot." she said
"Billie asked me to move with him to California" I said looking down. I didn't want to disappoint her.
"Really? That's cool!" she yelled in excitement and hugged me.
"Um... Please I suffocate!" I yelled.
"Sorry..."
"So you have no problem with it? I didn't expect that"
"See, I also want to move to California. I wanted from the beginning. But I thought I should come back to Germany with you because... Well... It was so cool, you know, like having our own apartment and living together."
"I know... But you know what's cool? When the guys are on tour we still have each other and if we'd be in Germany we would see them less. And actually nothing changes except that we don't live together. But we still have each other and Vany's there as well."
"So it's a deal? We're moving to California?"
"Heck yes!" I yelled and jumped up but fell because of my broken leg. Mel laughed at me and I did as well.
