Would You Be Mine?, chapter 28
Recap
Billie hugged me again and said: "I guess he tried to commit suicide.". He sobbed. Tears coming down his face. "There's blood everywhere, Sarah, blood" he said.
End recap
I've never seen Billie like this. But there was no time to think about it right now. I nodded and ran outside the house to wait for the ambulance.
After about five minutes the ambulance arrived. I showed them the way upstairs but didn't follow them since I promised Billie not to go upstairs. I sat on the couch and waited. It was hard. I didn't know what was going on. Eventually I burst out crying. For the first time the thought came to my mind that Mike might die. Then I remembered Mel. I grabbed the phone and called her.
*beeb*
"Damn you if this isn't important." I heard Mel yell on the other end.
"Mel? I asked
"Yeah, who else? Fucking Mike?" she yelled. It scared me. Why was she so pissed off at me? Maybe it was just a phase but it bothered me.
"Where are you?" I asked
"At Trés" she sighed.
"Alright listen Mel. I need to tell you something important." I said trying to hold back my tears.
"Shoot"
"It's about Mike. He... " I couldn't hold back the tears, I cried and spoke fast, "Something happened to him. The ambulance is here. Billie and I found him... Well it was more Billie. He said there is blood everywhere but I don't know what happened. Billie guessed it might be an attempt to commit suicide." I said without even breathing.
There was silence. Mel didn't respond for a while.
"Mel?" I asked worried
"Is he dead?" She asked. I was shocked by her question.
"No!" I yelled, "at least I hope not. I don't know anything. They'll take him to the hospital I guess. You should come there" I said
I heard Mel cry.
"It was my fault." she said, "If he's not gonna make it it's all my fault."
"Please Mel, don't say that. People have arguments, that's normal. Don't do anything stupid. Please give me Tré." I said trying to comfort her.
I told Tré what happened and to take care of Mel. He was shocked as well.
Then I hung up.
I didn't know what to do with myself. Why the hell did they take so long? I was so shocked I couldn't stop crying. I sat on the couch with my feet on the couch and laid my head on my knees.
Then I heard footsteps. They were carrying Mike downstairs on a stretcher. When they left Billie sat next to me and wrapped his arms around me. I laid my head on his chest and cried heavily.
"Shhh.. He'll be fine." Billie said stroking my hair.
"I called Mel." I said, "She's at Tré's. He'll take care of her." I told Billie.
"That's good" he said. I looked up at him and realized he was crying as well. I kissed him lightly on the lips and leaned back on his chest.
"I'm sorry you had to see all this... Whatever you saw" I said. It must have been a horror to see your best friend like that and... Sure it was.
"You wanna go to the hospital?" he asked.
I nodded and stood up.
When we arrived at the hospital we saw Tré, Vany and Mel sitting in the waiting room.
"Any news?" Billie asked but there wasn't.
Mel didn't say anything. She sat there motionless.
I kneeled in front of her. "What happened between the two of you?" I asked
She sobbed. I sat down beside her and hugged her. She cried heavily.
"We had this huge argument. Like really huge. I was yelling at him like bitch and... It was heavy. I ended up slapping him really hard and telling him that it was over. Mike cried. He cried!" she said crying. "I ran away and left him alone"
After a while a nurse came out of the emergency room. Billie stopped her and asked about Mike.
"He's still in there." she said
"It he gonna make it?" I asked also standing up.
Billie hugged me again and said: "I guess he tried to commit suicide.". He sobbed. Tears coming down his face. "There's blood everywhere, Sarah, blood" he said.
