Chap 2
It was cloudy outside
As Bonnie opened her eyes she noticed that her surrounding were being blinded by a very bright light. " Am I in heaven?" said the girl as she tried to open her eyes all the way.
"Bonnie", said the boy next to her. She turned her head to the left and was surprised to see him, of all people, sitting down next to her, with look of exhaustion and happiness.
It was Ron Stoppable.
She then turned her head and looked at where she was. " Where am I".
" You're at the hospital. You were brought he from your house after, well, you know" responded Ron.
She was stumped for a second when she realized what happened. She tried to take her life by cutting her wrist in an attempt to free herself from the world that she felt she was despised by. She then realized something. " Ron, you were the one I saw at my house, weren't you?"
Ron looked at her and said" Yea, that was me. I saw how sad you were in school that day and had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen, so I ran to your house, hoping to talk to you but when no one answered the door I got scared and, well, kicked down your door and started to call for you. When I couldn't find you I went to your room hoping to find you and talk to you, but when I found you… you were laying in a pool of blood."
Bonnie was surprised to see that Ron cared enough to want to talk to her about her problems, despite the fact that she had done nothing to deserve this, being that she constantly made fun of Ron and his girlfriend Kim. " What happened after you found me?"
" After seeing you on the floor, I ran to the bathroom to get some towels to cover your wrist while calling the hospitals and telling them to get over to your house to help. After I hung up I wrapped up both of your wrist and picked you up and brought you downstairs so that when the ambulance came we could get you to the hospital as quickly as possible so that they can save you."
Bonnie started to cry a little as she noticed Ron started to cry himself after telling her what he had witnessed and had done to help her. " Well it seems that you were able to get me to the hospital quick enough to help me."
Ron looked at her with a look of great sadness, which surprised Bonnie a lot, considering this was the optimistic Ron Stoppable, who was always making stupid jokes, doing everything in a lazy fashion, always in a upbeat mood, was crying a had a look of despair that wanted to make her cry more.
Ron then said, " It wasn't that easy Bonnie, when the ambulance came and put you in, they started to drive to the hospital. They noticed how flushed you were and saw that you had lost so much blood that you weren't going to make it to the hospital if you didn't get some more blood into your body. Unfortunately the ambulance doesn't care blood with them for these situations."
Bonnie didn't get it. If they didn't have any blood for a transfusion, how did she make it to the hospital and survive this horrid ordeal. She looked at Ron and noticed a bandage around his right arm. " What happened to your arm?"
Ron looked at his right arm and said to Bonnie, " Well the paramedics said you wouldn't make it without some blood, so I volunteered and gave you some of mine, and because we both have Type B blood it was safe for you. So the paramedics stuck you and me with needles and I was able to give you enough of my blood to keep you alive long enough to get you to the hospital for a complete blood fusion. Man, I was so tired when I got to the hospital, you would have though I got hammered at the bar", he smiled at this a little and said " I found out that I had given you about 2.5 liters so the doctors had to check on me and told me that I should go home and take it easy for the next few days, but I had to make sure you were ok so I told them I had to stay for Bonnie. So they looked at me said I could stay but that I made sure to take it easy."
Ron was smiling until he saw Bonnie crying profusely and said, " Bonnie what's wrong?"
Bonnie lied on her bed and said while crying more than she had ever cried, "Why?"
Ron was confused at the question, and asked her, "Why what?"
Bonnie said barely above a whisper with tears streaming down her eyes, " Why did you save me? Why didn't let me die?"
Ron was both shocked and appalled that Bonnie would say such a thing to him. He knew that she had been depressed the last few days, but not that she wanted to kill herself. He sat up and said to Bonnie, " So, I should have left you in a pool of your own blood so that you die. Is that what you wanted me to do, just watch you die and leave your house as if nothing happened." He was starting to get angry and he felt like he was about to yell as loud as he could.
Bonnie turned her head to the right, not looking at Ron and said, " I don't know, maybe the world would be off if I was dead and no one would have to worry about the mean girl who was always bossing others around and always cared only for herself. Everyone hates me anyway, being the loser I am, and I bet everyone will probably be happier if I was gone." as she keep crying.
Ron had had enough, he grabbed Bonnie's arms and made her face him. His eyes no longer had a look of silliness or happiness in them, but were replaced with a look of rage and disgust. His hands were digging to her skin while trembling with anger. Even Rufus, his naked mole rat friend, was terrified of what he saw when he looked at Ron and went back into his friend's pocket and shivered in fear. Bonnie could not believe that what she said would have angered Ron so much that he looked as if he would hit her.
Ron started to shake her and said yelling at her with anger, " WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU. HOW CAN YOU SAY NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU? I CARE ABOUT YOU, I WANTED TO HELP YOU WHEN YOU WERE DEPRESSED AND I EVEN SAVED YOUR LIFE, BUT INSTEAD OF THANKING ME OR EVEN BEING A LITTLE GRATEFUL, YOU TELLING ME THAT ME SAVING YOU WAS WRONG? THAT I SHOULD HAVE LET YOU DIED? WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO APOLIGIZE AND I WOULD SAVE YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN. I KNOW YOUR LIFE ISN'T PERFECT, BUT LOOK AT MINE. I'VE BEEN BULLYED, MADE FUN OF, BEAT UP, AND INSULTED MOST OF MY LIFE, BUT DO YOU SEE ME TRYING TO KILL MYSELF. NO, AND DO YOU KNOW WHY?
Bonnie looked at him, and said with a whisper loud enough for only him to hear, " no".
"BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR ME, EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE THE HIGHEST MARKS OR MANY FRIENDS OR HAVE THE COOLEST CLOTHES. People care for you Bonnie, you just have to open up to them" said Ron as he started to calm down and talk in his normal voice.
Bonnie looked into Ron's eyes and saw that he had hardly blinded, looking deep into his eyes and seeing the sincerity of his words. She started to shake violently and collapsed into Ron's chest and started to cry as hard as she could, screaming about what she almost did and what would have happened if she had not be saved by the boy who had been so good to her.
" I-I-I do-do-don't want to d-d-die, I just do-don't know what to do, WWWWWWWWWWwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh., wailed Bonnie as she held on to Ron as hard as she could, afraid that she would slip away if she let go.
Ron took a deep breath, embraced her as if she were a child and told Bonnie with a half smile, " Don't worry Bonnie, your safe now. I'll help you get through this and you'll be back on your feet in no time. I know that it won't be easy but you're a strong girl and with some help from your friends you'll be see that your life is worth living and that you can be happy."
Sniffing, Bonnie lifted her head from Ron's head and looked up at him. " Will you be my friend, Ron?".
Ron could only smile at this and say," yes Bonnie, I'll be your friend."
As Bonnie put her head back on his chest she whispered to him as she started to drift to sleep due to the exhaustion claiming her, " Thank you.", as she cried, but not from sadness but from the happiness that she felt knowing that she was worth something and that her life was truly precious, as she fell into slumber.
Ron felt Bonnie breathing easy and put her back on the bed so that she could rest. She needed to relax now. Ron knew things weren't going to be easy, but with help from him and some other friends, she'll be able to get her life back on track.
As he smiled to himself and took Rufus out of his pocket apologizing for what he did earlier and that he did not mean to be so angry, he looked out the window and saw a change in the sky.
The sun has come out from behind the clouds.
