Would You Be Mine?, chapter 30
Recap
Mel stayed the night with Mike. They put an extra bed into his room where she could sleep. She was restless. She still put all the blame on herself. She hated herself for yelling at him this bad. I drove him into this situation, she thought.
But actually it wasn't her fault. It was his own. But there was no point in trying to find someone to blame. It didn't matter whose fault it was. All that mattered was that Mike had to get better.
End recap
The next day we found out that Mel's blood matched Mike's. They immediately started the transfusion. Billie, Tré, Vany and I waited outside.
*the next day*
Mike finally opened his eyes. He needed the blood. Now he would definitely make it. All of us were relieved to hear the good news.
"Hey buddy" Billie said padding Mike's head.
"Hey man, I'm still alive?" Mike asked.
"Heck yes, you were scaring us to death." Billie said
I walked over to Mike and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Thank God you're awake." I said, "We missed you."
Mike smiled weakly. I knew he was thinking of Mel. "All of us missed you, Mike" I said
"Do you know who you have to thank to be alive?" Billie asked
Mike shook his head.
"Mel" he said. Mike made big eyes and shrugged, "really?" he asked
"Yeah, she gave you her blood." Billie said
"Well, yeah, but Billie found you, so he's also to blame that you're still alive." I said.
"Thanks man", Mike said, "I don't know what came into me."
"Drugs I would say" Billie said.
"Yeah, I'll stop it. I promise." Mike said.
Billie nodded.
"Where is Mel by the way?" Mike asked after a moment.
"She went to your house with Tré and Vany to get some new clothes for you." I said.
Mike nodded.
"Is she still mad?" he asked
"Um...I don't know. I only know that she puts the blame on herself that you are in hospital." I answered.
"Fuck" Mike said. I nodded and so did Billie.
Just then someone knocked on the door and entered. It was Mel in fact with Tré and Vany. Tré and Vany instantly hugged Mike but Mel hesitated.
"Hey" Mike softly said
"Hey" Mel answered. Then she stormed towards him and hugged him.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you and..." she said but was cut off by Mike.
"You don't have to be sorry for anything. If I didn't do all that shit it wouldn't have happened. You had good reasons to yell at me. I'm sorry." Mike said, "I don't know if you can ever forgive me but I'll wait as long as I have to even if it's till my death. I love you." He said
Mel placed a kiss on his lips "I love you too" she said.
"Umm...I guess we better leave" Vany said and took Tré's hand
"I wanted to see this" Tré whined.
"No, really, we better go" Billie said grabbing Tré. I nodded and followed them outside,
"See you" I said to Mike and Mel who didn't even seem to notice. They had been in their own little world again.

"It's a happy end I guess" I said laying my head in Billie's lap as we sat on the couch watching TV.
"Yeah, I guess" he said.
"It's unbelievable what happened the past months." I said
"Yeah, it is. Ups and downs."
"Yeah" I said, "We met, then all that shit with Tom and the press and now Mike."
Billie nodded, "I wished some things would never have happened, like the thing with Mike or your..." Billie hesitated speaking out the work 'rape', "...You know, what Tom did to you." He said
"I know, I wouldn't have stand it without you." I said looking up at him.
Billie smiled and stroke my hair, "I'll always be there for you."
I smiled but soon my smile went away. I suddenly felt like shit. I got up from the couch and ran to the bathroom. I felt terribly sick. Billie followed me and patted my back while I leaned over the toilet...well you know.
"What's wrong?" Billie asked once I stopped vomiting.
"What does it look like?" I asked annoyed.
Billie didn't reply anything. I got out of the room and went straight into the bed.
Billie followed me and sat down on the bed where I was laying.
"I feel sick." I said
"But you didn't feel sick till tonight." He said
"Well actually I already felt sick yesterday but it wasn't that bad." I said. It was true. But I didn't say anything since there were other problems.
"You did? You should have told me" Billie said
"I thought it wouldn't be that bad." I said
"Come on. Go to bed and I'll make you some tea." Billie said kissing my forehead.
After 5 minutes he came back with a big cup of tea. I drank it and then fell asleep.
But my sleep didn't last long. I got up about 3 times that night. Billie always followed me and held my hair.
"You better go get a doctor tomorrow." Billie Joe said.
The next day I did as I was told and went to a doctor. Billie went with me. Somehow I was nervous. I didn't know why. There was nothing to be nervous about. It was just the doctor.
***
Mike had to stay in hospital for one more week. He and Mel discussed things and were happy together again.
Mel wanted to stay every night with Mike but since he got better she wasn't allowed to anymore. She stayed all day in the hospital until they threw her out in the evening.

The doctor checked me while Billie had to wait in the waiting room.
"Well Miss Miller" the doctor said...
