"He- He" Georgie sobbed into Stan's shoulder. Stan gently stroked Georgie's hair and held him tightly. "I found him." Georgie whispered. Stan froze, and his breathing hitched. He pulled away and stared into Georgie's eyes. "What? You found him?" Stan asked quietly. Georgie nodded, "there was blood on his wrists, and-and he wasn't awake. There was so much blood." Georgie broke into sobs and Stan huffed our a sigh. He stood up and brought Georgie with him. Georgie wrapped his legs around Stan's waist and cried into his shoulder again.

"Shhh Georgie.. shhh it's okay.. it's okay everything is going to be perfectly fine." He whispered, trying to convince himself and Georgie.

[7:30 pm]

The rest of the losers were here now. The waiting room was silent. Richie sat next to Eddie, and held his hand gently. Beverly sat next to Ben, and her head was leaning on his shoulder. Mike was sitting next to Stanley, and was trying not to cry. Stan was sitting with Georgie curled on his lap. He was stroking Georgie's hair and letting Georgie cry silently into his sweater.

The two main doors opened a doctor walked out. Bill's parents stood quickly and talked with the doctor. They nodded and shook their head to the doctors questions, then eventually turned around and made eye contact with Stan. He stood quickly and pulled Georgie up higher in his arms. He walked over to them and they gave him a sad smile. "Hey Stan" Sharon said softly. "Hi Momma" Stan responded.

Bill and Stanley have been life long friends, and Stanley really felt like Sharon and Zack were more parents to him than his actual parents. Stanley loved Bill with his whole heart, and he would do anything to keep him safe. That's a platonic thing right?

"They said that only family could visit right now. So let's go" Zack said quietly. Stan blinked, "I'm allowed to go?" Sharon smiled kindly, "Of course Honey, you are as much of a son to us as Bill and Georgie." Stan smiled weakly, then glanced at his friends. "I'll text you" he mouthed to Richie, then walked with his family to Bill's hospital room.

Zack opened the door and they walked into the room together. Stanley put Georgie down and held his hand as they walked closer. When he caught sight of Bill, his entire world crumbled. He sobbed and looked at the ceiling. Georgie looked up at him, then squeezed his hand. "It's gonna be okay Stanny" he said softly, then let go and stood next to his brother.

Stan pulled himself together and followed Georgie's path. He stood next to Bill's bed and stared down at his pale skin. He looked at Bill's wrists that were wrapped in cloth. Bill's hair was falling to the left side and Stan reached forwards to push it back into place. He grimaced and blinked. A couple of tears fell onto the blanket that was covering Bill's lower body. It was silent, and Stanley pulled a chair over for Georgie to sit on.

"why did he do this to himself?" Georgie whispered, looking up at Stan and his parents. "That's an explanation for another day hon." Sharon said softly, nodding towards her son.

[12:49 am]

Bill's parents left the hospital. Stanley stayed next to Bill. He sat down in the chair Georgie was once sitting in. "Why didn't you call me Billy?" He whispered, taking his hand. Tears flooded down his cheeks as he finally let himself break. "I can't loose you" he cried, leaning his head down on the bed. There was a soft knock on the door, and it cracked open. "Stan.." Beverly's voice breathed out. He just sobbed, and she walked towards him. The other losers followed after her. The group of friends surrounded their leader's bed and held back tears.

Beverly kneeled down next to Stan and leaned her head on his shoulder, and held onto his free hand. "It's okay Stan.. he's okay.." she whispered to him. He shook his head, then looked up at his friends. "Guys Georgie found him." He stated. Eddie gasped and dropped his jaw. Richie closed his eyes and brought his hands up to cover his eyes. Mike covered his mouth and sighed, while Ben just looked away. Beverly looked down at the floor and held back tears.

"Excuse me? Only one person may stay the night will him" a nurse said kindly. The losers all stood up and looked around at each other. "Well.. if anyone is gonna stay it's gonna be Stan." Richie said, walking towards the door.

[1:14 am]

After the losers left, and a nurse gave him a blanket, Stan pushed the chair closer to the bed and laid his head on his arm that was propped up on the bed. His left hand was intertwined with Bill's, and his breathing was unsteady. Tears were still falling down his cheeks but they were slower than before.

"Please wake up Billy.." He whispered, then closed his eyes. Stan soon fell into a dreamless sleep.
