Part 33 - Stanley Uris

When I heard the news, I was in shock. I squeeze Bill's hand under the blanket, harder than ever. He leaves and Bill just looks at me. My doctors come in, kicking Bill out.
"Stanley, Henry causes major problems to your lungs. If it's not solved in a couple of days, you're going to have to have a breathing tube. For a couple weeks, unless your parents have money to give you surgery." He tells me. I don't want to.
"I DON'T WANT ONE! WHAT ARE PEOPLE GOING THINK!" I yell. Bill comes running back in, I'm sobbing. He runs to my side to try and calm me down.
"I-I have to h-have a breathing t-tube! Unless I have surgery, I don't want to do it anymore!" I tear the breathing tube out my nose. My throat starts to close up. I watch as the doctors shove it back up my nose.
Then I realize, if I back out and just let myself die, I'm leaving Bill. He runs over to me and I just let him sob into my shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Baby. It's just, I'm going to get made fun of more. I'm already on the edge, now it's just going to be more," I cry out.
"Stan, I promise. I will keep you safe."

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates! Have a great day!
