Rest in Peace to the fandom, this picture took all our lives without even trying.
How does this bitch even live with pictures like that sitting around in her camera roll, and we all dont know it?

Jordan POV

Billie and I left the room quietly.

She really came. I honestly didn't think she would. I'm sorry for doubting her.

"So, first... I am sorry for being a fucking dick in the beginning when you left. I really, really am. I feel like I let you down. Also, don't expect me to be here for a while. We're going to drive further to San Francisco. Two days." She says, looking down disappointedly.

I shake my head and another tear falls to the cold, ugly-tiled hospital floor.

"I'm sorry Jordan, I can't just cancel the tour. I just can't. This is the first time I ever get to experience such joy outside my love life and family and that is really good for me." Billie adds.

I can't form a sentence right now, due to the sadness that is slowly but surely taking over my whole body.

"Jordan. Say something, please. You scare me." She speaks again, another tear now also breaking free from her eye.

"I just. I understand, Billie... I'm just at a loss of words, I guess. I am happy your shows make you feel like that and I really appreciate that you're here now." I tell her, wiping her tears off her cheek and the corners of her mouth turn upwards.

She chuckles lightly and turns her head away from me, breathing out and looking down the hallway. I notice that the nurse that shows visitors their room is looking at us.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I got you something." Billie adds after she gathered her composure back, grabbing my hand and leading me back into the room.

We walk over to a table and there I see two bundles of flowers. I smile and look at her again, she takes one of them and hands them to me.

"I thought that might make you happy." Billie smiles weakly.

I nod. "It does, thank you baby."
"-Sorry." I breathe, looking down because I called her 'baby' and I didn't mean to. It's just not the right time I guess.

She chuckles as an answer and looks at my dad, her smile falling.

"Can I talk to him?"

I follow her gaze and nod.

"Sure."

She grabs the other flowers and sits down beside him where I sat earlier.

Billie POV

"Hey, man. How are you?" I ask him, looking down at the flowers.
"I uh... I got you something that will make this room light up a bit. Well, I hope."

The constantly repeating noise of the hospital machines that are showing his heartbeat make this all feel like it's not real. Why did this have to happen?

A tear falls from my face again and I wipe it away quickly, placing the flowers in an empty vase that was standing on the floor, waiting to be used.
