[Text] I know they do… but I would give anything for you to be well again…  I know that is so selfish of me, but none of this is fair. What about…. being turned into a vampire?

[text] But.. that just... brings up the opposite problem.. that I’m gonna outlive you, and Stacey, and bell, and the kids, and mom and dad...

[Text] I’m fine… I just wanted to know if you have thought about other options. I mean this is Hazel Run and anything is possible… Like have you thought about unconventional methods…

[text] I’ve been looking into it, I just... I don’t know, Sam. Some of them sound scary.

Date Night | Bellevie

Bellamy didn’t have the strength to say or sign anything when Stevie said yes. All of the energy left him for a brief moment before Stevie’s arms were around his neck and they were attached at the mouth for a brief moment as Stevie kissed him. He laughed shaking his head as he shoved Stevie’s hands down, now was not the time for talking. “I. Love. You.” he stated and with a surge of happy energy he wrapped his arms around Stevie and hauled him up into his arms and kissed him soundly, refusing to let the Blonde go. Not now, not ever. They would get through this, together.

Stevie stopped signing when Bell stopped him, a grin on his face even as he kissed his boyfriend - no. Fiance. His hand tangled into the other’s hair as he did so, but it wasn’t long at all before he had to pull back, breathing far more laboured than it had been. But he stayed close, looking into the other’s eyes, resting his forehead against his. Aside from the ache in his chest, he’d forgotten what was going on for a moment, too focused on Bellamy. “I love you.” he whispered, hoping the other could at least read what he was saying. He moved his head from there to Bell’s shoulder, hand moving to the other one and clinging as he winced, desperately trying to catch his breath.

Breaking the news || Sam and Stevie

Sam stared at the menu not sure what he wanted to order. He figured him and Stevie could probably share a pizza pie if he was up for it. If not, then Sam would just get two slices of pizza and a coke. He normally watches what he eats, but he’s on vacation,, so he has no problem cheating. Sam put the menu down and looked at Stevie and couldn’t hep but noticed how nervous he looked. Or like he wanted to say something but didn’t know how to say it.

Sam was surprised that the doctor didn’t think he shold perform again. “Did you break something or hurt yourself? Sam looked at Stevie and he looked fine. He wasn’t limping and didn’t sound sick. “What kind of doctor did you see and why would he not want you to continue the tour?” None of this was making sense to Sam. He continue looking at Stevie and he could tell he was struggling to say something. “You know you can tell me anything right?” Sam knew he hasn’t been the best brother lately and hasn’t spoken to Stevie in a while, but he was hoping that Stevie knew that he could still talk to Sam about any and everything.

Stevie chewed his lip as he watched his brother, dreading this. He had a few ideas as to what Sam’s reaction could be, and none of them he felt particularly comfortable with. He hated upsetting his brother... He took a breath, looking down at the menu again as his brother asked all the questions, giving him a small smile at the last part with a nod as he looked back up at him. “Yeah, I know.” he promised, tracing the font of the ‘menu’ title. 

“I didn’t break anything, no, and I’m not hurt, exactly.” He decided to go for first. “And it’s our on-tour doctor... Well, I started with him. He referred me to the hospital at the place we were in for tour because I kept getting really dizzy and passing out when I’d get off stage, and I was breathless a lot, and I...” He took a breath, running a hand through his hand and continued to scratch his neck. “The hospital ran loads of tests and it turns out that I... have a, uh... a heart.. issue.” He said, wincing a little, knowing he needed to explain the rest. “A heart issue that... that they don’t think they can solve... and.. and they gave me medication but all it does it like... put off what’s gonna happen in the end, because.. because they said that my heart... isn’t gonna hold out much longer...”

That’s tough dude. You should really try to get a second opinion. But congrats on the engagement.

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it, but... I mean, chances are they’ll just say the same thing, right? Or suggest I get turned into a vampire or something and I don’t know, man... that’s not the best lifestyle... I like chocolate too much.

Oh, man, Stevie.. That’s so horrible..

I’m happy that you’re engaged, though.

Yeah, it’s not exactly... the best news I’ve ever heard.

Thanks, dude. Bell did it all cute at this nice little part of Hazel Run that had a cute little water fall and everything.

Holy shit man… Wow I just damn… Congrats on getting engaged though.

Thanks man. Kinda like a light at the end of the tunnel deal, you know? Bell was really cute about it, too.

… Oh… I… damn, I am sorry to hear it? If there is anything I can do… Let me know. And congrats about the engaged part, when its the wedding?

I will. Thanks, Mariah... Oh, we haven’t actually set a date yet, but I’m pretty sure we’re both agreeing that it’s gonna be as soon as we can... I mean, Sam’s in Hazel Run so ideally it’ll be while he’s around, but if not I don’t know... I know he’ll come back and stuff, but... Okay, I’m rambling.

Oh, I am so sorry, Stevie, the best way to spend the last days is spend it with your friends and family, I am sure they would love to spend it with you… But congratulations on the engagement.

Yeah... Sam’s sticking around in Hazel Run for a while, then after that I might... follow him to Chicago or something. I’ve always wanted to go.

Oh my god…I’m so sorry…but uh congratulations on your engagement.

It’s cool, I’m just... working on the coming to terms with it part. Thanks! 

Oh my God, what? You can’t die! Why dont you ask for a second opinion? But, congratulations on the engagement.

Apparently I very much can... They’re... working on it. Like... seeing if there’s a way around it... To help and stuff. Thanks! Me and Bell still need to discuss like, dates and stuff but we know it’ll be this year, for obvious reasons.

That means you need a doctor?

You look way too happy about that, Charlie... I have a doctor, and that’s what he told me. I mean, him and another one. I’m on medication and stuff to ‘prolong my life’ or something, but I don’t actually know how effective it is.

Wait…. What? You… What?

I... yeah...

Congratulations on the engagement? 

Thanks, I uh.. I... was gonna tell you in person, I just... I completely.. chickened out. I’m sorry.

Back in Town | Jean & Stevie

Jean was silent as he held him, crying softly and trying to pull himself back together. He remembered when he used to be far more dramatic, but the last decade had made it impossible to do anything but keep it together, and that was probably better. He wiped his eyes as Stevie pulled away, nodding. “Do you… do you need help? I’m sure Bell can help. Once he knows. I just mean… if you need to talk. Or you need someone to sit with you… when you’re telling them… or for doctor’s appointments…” He trailed off. His help felt unhelpful, and Jean hated that feeling.

Stevie sniffled, rubbing his eyes as Jean pulled back and nodded a little. “I, uh.. I think... I’m gonna tell Bell tonight. He wants to um, go on a date, so... so I figured it’d be a good a time as any... Bit of a downer, but... I’ll just leave it right til the end or something.” He murmured. “Then me and him can tell his siblings.” He breathed out, looking up to Jean again. “I might just... Is it cowardly of me to just... post something on that website we all used to use? Tumblr? Just post it there and hope for the best?”
