Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious. If I did, Bade would be the center of attention. But I don't.

I got the idea for this story while watching the "Stage Fighting" episode in the car on the way home from my vacation. What if Tori actually did hit Jade with the cane on purpose? I'm not sure if this will be a one-shot or multi chapter yet.

-Jade POV-

I really don't understand why Vega is so freaked about the stage fight that will happen in about 5 minutes. I'm not going to hurt her. Two reasons: 1) Beck says if I do hurt her I have to take care of her. There is no way I am doing that. 2) I'm not that dumb as to risk my grade just to embarrass Vega. She does that enough on her own. So I really don't get her thinking about me hurting her. Although I really don't mind her freaking out about it, it's just going to embarrass her more when she doesn't actually get hurt. Oh hey look, Andre's scene is over. I stand up not really caring about what anyone has to tell me, I just walk over and grab my hat. I notice Andre giving Tori her props and saying something to her. I don't care what it is though.

Tori starts to announce the scene, "For our scene I will be playing an old lady walking home from a bingo game." She sounds so worried, but not her usual worried voice…

Then I announce, "And I play a brutal mugger"

She's so terrified she feels the need to repeat me, "Yes, a brutal mugger. Who mugs me. Without actually hurting me."

That weird Russ guy gives us directions, including the safe word being 'butternut'.

Then, right after we take our places, before the teacher even calls action, Tori screams, "butternut!" Of course, she was "testing the safe word." Whatever, I'm not going to hurt her, when will she realize that!

Our scene begins with Tori saying the opening line and me coming up behind her asking for her money and watch. She responds with a "Wouldn't you rather have this?" I have no clue what she is talking about so I just take one step back, not expecting what would happen next.

All I see is Vega swinging at me with her cane, then the next thing I know I'm on the floor, my eye hurts and is all bloody. The only thing I can think to do is yell "butternut!" I can't even see out of my eye it hurts so bad. All I want is Beck.

I don't think anyone has realized that I am actually hurt, and not just faking, so I yell "butternut!" again. Finally I feel Becks arm's pulling me to his chest. This only lasts for a few seconds then the Russ guy separates us. Beck never fully lets go of me, he's holding onto my arm, obviously very worried. Vega is just standing back with a shocked look on her face. Seriously? She obviously had to know she was going to hurt me if she hit me! What is wrong with her right now!

I hear the teacher yelling for someone to bring over a chair, and I just fall into Beck's chest, tears running from my eyes from the pain, and not the good kind of pain. My eyes are shut closed trying to escape the pain when I feel myself being lowered into a chair. I sit and once I do, I feel everything crashing and I hit the floor. Russ is yelling at Tori for giving me a breakaway chair after hitting me in the background, but all I can focus on is staying conscious. Beck lifts me up bridal-style and at this moment I am so thankful for having him. More than usual, I mean. One eye is shut, and has my hand covering it. I hear Beck yell, "Cat! Grab mine and Jade's bags and call her mom. I'm going to drive her to the hospital."

I kind of wonder why the teacher isn't stopping him and telling him that I have to stop by the nurses office or whatever first, but I don't care. I'd rather Beck take me straight to the hospital.

In the car, I just loose the fight to stay awake and drift to sleep.

-Beck POV-

I cannot believe that Tori did that to MY JADE. I would've rather Jade hurt Tori than my Jade getting hurt. Tori better hope that this isn't serious. Cat is silently crying in the backseat of the car. I don't think that she knows that it might not be all serious. I think she thinks Jade is seriously hurt. Poor Jade, my baby. She doesn't deserve this. Jade would have never hurt Tori for real, and she knows that! They were just starting to become decent friends, and then my girl gets beaten with a cane. Tori definitely deserve to be suspended. Oh whoops, I think if I squeeze the steering wheel any tighter it might explode. I have every right to be mad. Tori so did this on purpose. I watched all their practices and never did Jade put a finger on Tori for real. So why did my baby have to be the one to get hurt? I will deal with getting Tori suspended after Jade gets checked out. I look over to my injured girlfriend. She's even gorgeous passed out with a bloody eye.

"Cat! Sorry to interrupt you but call up Andre and ask him to meet us up at the hospital if you could?" I ask in the nicest voice I can manage. I have to at least be nice to Cat.

"Can I call Robbie instead?"

"Whatever, just call the gang and tell them to meet us up. Also, bring Tori. I want to have a few words with her."

"Trust me you're not the only one. I want to ground her into the ground!"

"Cat, calm down, it will be ok!" I have never seen Cat this angry. But, she has known Jade since kindergarten so she has every right to be.

"It is not ok! Sure, Jade will be ok! But that's not the point! She didn't deserve to be beaten! Tori does!" Cat was now screaming and sobbing at the same time. I hope she doesn't wake up Jade.

"Cat, I promise you that Tori will be punished through the school, and if she isn't you can beat her up."

"Good." (A/N: yes, Cat is way OOC but I think she would be mad if Tori beat up Jade.)

Finally, we pull into the hospital, and go to the ER. I heard that if it's crowded and they make you wait it's a good thing because then it means that you're not as serious as other people and you will be ok. Jade better darn right be ok. Even with a bloody bruised face, she is gorgeous to me. No one can change that.

-Cat POV-

I hate hospitals, especially when I'm here because one of my 'friends' beat my actual best friend up with a cane. I hope Robbie gets here soon. That way it won't be awkward anymore with Beck carrying Jade and whispering to her sleeping body. I'm used to it, Beck usually does talk to Jade while they cuddle or she sleeps in his arms, but usually there are other people around for me to talk to. I just pull out my coloring book and try to color. The purple crayon is very pretty! I just got the 96 pack of crayons, so there are like ten shades of purple! Oh wait, I can't use purple. My last lion was purple. I don't like totally repeating drawings. What about the green! This green reminds me of the time my brother took the lawnmower and, ooh! There's a guy outside on a lawnmower! I wonder if he works for the hospital too. I could never work for a hospital. Too much blood and stuff you know? I should curl my hair again one day. Instead of straightening it, I should leave it curly. Why did I stop curling it again? Oh right! Cause all the celebrities started to straighten their hair. Jade curls hers, and it looks really good on her. I look back over to them and Jade is curled up against Beck, sleeping, and I sware I saw a tear roll down Beck's cheek. I put my crayons and coloring book back in my bag and walk over to them.

"She will be fine, just like you promised. Don't cry." I say, as just as I see Robbie and Andre walk in. I wonder where that biatch Tori Vega is. Maybe I should start calling her Vega. Cause whenever Jade called her Vega it meant she was mad at her. And I am very mad at her. Instead, I just run up to Robbie and hug him. I wonder how he got mixed into this. Lane probably let him leave class. After all, he knows how close we all are. Robbie isn't even in our stage fighting class but he seems to know exactly what went down. Andre is sitting next to Beck in the chair I was just in, talking to him. I kind of want to know what they are talking about, but I don't want to eavesdrop. One time, my brother was pretending to be a spy and was eavesdropping from inside the ladies bathroom on their conversations, and then one of the ladies discovered him and beat him with her purse. Oh! My purse is shiny. I don't know where it is. Oh! There it is over by Beck. I take Robbie's hand and pull him over to the row of chairs that the rest of the gang is sitting in.

"Where's Tori?" I ask Andre as we sit down.

"Talking with Principal Ikner, Lane, and Russ about what happened. She's coming as soon as possible." He answers me, and kind of quietly.

"I hope she gets suspended for what she did to my girl." Beck says below his breath. He really is mad. I do not blame him at all. Tori honestly does deserve to be suspended. Even Andre has to agree with that.

"Honestly, even I know it wasn't an accident. No matter how hard I try to defend her, she had that look in her eyes before she swung. Everyone saw it." Andre says timidly. He really likes Tori, but even he can't take the blame off her.

Just after that, a nurse walks out and calls for a "Jadelyn West." Beck stands up, and I realize now that he's still cradling Jade in his arms. That's so sweet!

"I take it that you are Beckett Oliver." The woman looks at him.

"Yes ma'am." He responds.

"Just put Jadelyn down in that wheelchair over there, and we will take care of her. You stay out here."

"Wait, I can't come!" he sounds worried. He should be, we all are.

"No. Sit here and we will let you know when you can visit."

He doesn't even fight her on the matter. I don't think he has enough energy to fight her on it. He sits back down and puts his head in his hands, and begins to cry. I've never seen Beck cry except over Jade being hurt. Come to think of it, ever since Tori came to Hollywood Arts, Jade has been getting hurt a lot more. Which is weird; cause what would Tori get from hurting Jade? She can't ever get Beck; he has undying love for my best friend. They are perfect for each other, fire and ice.

"It's probably going to be awhile. Let's go down to the cafeteria and grab something for lunch."Andre says hopefully. He would be thinking about food. Now that I think of it, I'm kind of hungry too.

"You three go ahead, I'm going to wait here in case the doctors need me." Beck says slowly, and with a worried tone.

Andre, Robbie and I stand up but not before asking Beck if he wants anything. He explained that he was too worried and stressed to eat right now.

I turn around about halfway down the hall, and he resumes his position with head in hands, silently sobbing. I feel so horrible for him. The pain he is going through right now…even if the pain all of us are going through seeing both Beck and Jade like this is nothing like the pain Tori will experience once she gets here. That…will be bad. She is liked less than Rex right now.

-Jade POV-

I wake to bright lights, muffled voices that seem to be arguing somewhere nearby, a hand I recognize as Beck's squeezing mine and a sharp pain in my face. I open my eyes and turn my head to look at Beck. Why are his eyes all red and puffy and why are there tear streaks on his cheeks? Where am I? Why don't I remember? Beck is just looking at me, and I open my mouth, "Where am I?" I say quietly.

"Jade…you're in a hospital." He says slowly.

"Wait, so when Vega hit me, it was that bad?" When I said this, his face got even more worried than it already was, if that is possible.

"Yes…don't worry though, Tori is suspended for one week and then has detention for 3 weeks."

"That's not what I was worried about. What happened?"

"Well, you and Tori were doing your stage fight and-"

"She hit me with a cane. I know that. But when can I go home?" I interrupted him. Oh well.

"The doctor said you can come home once you wake up."

"Well I'm up. Let's go!" I sit up in the bed and drop Beck's hand. I didn't even realize he was still holding it. I notice I'm in those gown things. "Ugh, Beck hand me my clothes. These are nasty."

He hands me them wearily. I think he's afraid of what will happen when we both see Vega. Something tells me he hasn't left the hospital, maybe the dried tears. I don't think everything is ok. I walk into the bathroom and change back into my sweats from school today. Instead of just walking out, I peek out my head and say "Beck, come in here." He comes right away. I grab a wet paper towel and wipe his cheeks, then dry them with another towel.

I grab his hand, and pull him to the bed. I still haven't looked in a mirror, ugh.

"What's wrong babe. Why were you crying?" I assume our normal position, with my legs over his.

He looks at me slowly, and says, "Before you woke up, and I was talking to the doctors, they told me that you might not remember anything since it was a blow to the head. From the looks of it, you remember everything, but they told me that you might not even remember people like Cat and I. Don't stress though, they said nothing was broken or anything, just a bruise and minor concussion. They already gave me papers to sign before, now we just have to wait for the discharge papers."

I pull him into a tight hug. "I remember everything. I remember you, I remember Cat, I remember Andre, I remember Robbie, I unfortunately remember Vega, I even remember Rex. You shouldn't worry too much. I'm a big girl." We both go in for a kiss, which quickly turns to a make out session. I just then notice that there is still the faint arguing, but only because it seems like the argument is coming to an end. Just then, Cat walks in with balloons. Ugh, balloons. Whatever, I remember Cat was crying in the car before I fell asleep, so she was probably worried on some degree too.

She comes up to me and gives me a huge hug and says "Oh my god Jade! You're ok! This is so amazing! I'm going to help Beck take you back to the RV, I'm so happy your ok!" She is screaming. Once she releases me I realize that she wasn't alone before. She was just the only one running and screaming. Robbie, Andre, and…Vega are standing against the wall. Right after Cat let me go, she ran up to Robbie and grabbed his hand. Interesting. I'll have Beck ask Andre about that later. Speaking of Beck, he obviously noticed Tori, and hasn't talked to her yet because he suddenly pulled me onto his lap, with a tighter grip than usual.

"Hey Jade, you woke up." Robbie says awkwardly.

"No Robbie. My eyes are just open and I'm talking and all that, but I'm still asleep." I say with my usual edged tone.

"Beck! Let Jade lay down if she's still asleep!" Cat yelled.

"Lil Red, she's not sleeping she was being sarcastic." Andre explained to Cat, then turned to me, "So how do you feel?"

"My face hurts." I respond briskly, more staring down Vega than looking at Andre. I swear I saw her smirk when I said the word 'hurts.'

"Excuse me, Tori." Beck says quickly and with an edge.

"Yes?" She says. She reeks of fake innocence.

"Two things: Apologize to Jade, because even Andre knows you did this on purpose to my girl. Second, wipe that smirk off your face. My girlfriend's hurting is nothing to smirk about." I guess I'm not the only one that saw the smirk. I've never really heard Beck use this angry tone with, well, anyone.

Suddenly everyone steps towards Beck & I, and stare at Tori expectantly.

"I'm sorry for whacking you in the face with a cane, Jade." She says insincerely. Everyone is still staring at her, so she adds, "maybe you didn't deserve it as much as I thought you did…" she trails off at the end.

Beck picks me up and puts me down and starts walking over to Tori with strong steps. Andre grabs his arms to hold him back a little bit. "What. Did. You. Say." He says through gritted teeth. I stand up and put a hand on his bicep, just above where Andre is restraining him from. Cat and Robbie just stand against a wall looking like deer in headlights, they are so unsure of what to do.

"I apologized to your girlfriend." She smirks. SMIRKS!

"After the "apology" as you call it." He says through still gritted teeth.

"I said maybe she didn't deserve it as much as I thought she did." Her smile drops. "Was I not supposed to say that?" She says, truly worried now. If I was her, I would be worried for my own safety too.

"YOU THOUGHT SHE DESERVED IT? YOU KNOW NOTHING TORI VEGA! YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MY GORGEOUS GIRLFRIEND! SHE DESERVED NOTHING OF THAT MANNER! SHE DESERVED AN A! SHE WASN'T PLANNING ON HITTING YOU SO WHY WOULD YOU HIT HER!" Beck was screaming at her and trying to charge her now, I could tell Andre was having difficulty, so I grabbed Beck's head, turned it to the side, and kissed him right on the lips. Andre dropped Beck's arms once our lips made contact. I pulled him closer to me, and felt him relax and pull me tighter to him. I separated us and whispered "Its fine" in his ear. Then I turned to Tori, and felt Beck's strong arms wrap around my waist from behind, and told her "Please leave." She opened her mouth as to say something, and I put up a hand, "Just go." She turned and started to walk. Andre followed her, but not before turning to Beck and I and saying, "I am so sorry for her behavior."

Déjà vu for all the times Beck has said that on my behalf. We sit there chatting, Cat, Robbie, Beck, and I, for about 5 minutes until a nurse comes in and hands Beck my discharge papers. He signs them and the nurse tells us we can leave whenever. Cat gathers up all the balloons she brought earlier, and we all leave. We stop in the lobby because Andre and Tori are arguing in the corner of the waiting room, quietly though, we can't really hear anything. We just sit and wait because Robbie drove Andre here.

-Tori POV-

So, yes I hit Jade on purpose. I had to do it before she hit me. I didn't mean to swing so high to hit her in the face or so hard to give her a concussion. I also wasn't exactly thinking when I said what I said in the hospital room. She really doesn't deserve it, but I really didn't deserve being hurt. Well, I didn't but now it seems like I do deserve the pain. Whatever, Jade is going home, I'm suspended and detentioned. The only problem is that I think I lost my friends, at least for a little while. Andre will probably forgive me the fastest. After all, we are dating. But, no one else knows. He only asked me out last night and we were going to tell everyone today at my house after school, but that's not going to happen. We'll probably just have to tell everyone now. He's been lecturing me ever since we left Jade's room, but the lecture is over because now he is saying,

"I forgive you, but I don't think Cat does, and I'm not sure if Beck ever will. Cat has been friends with Jade since forever, and from my experiences with them, neither of them forgives anyone who wrongs the other, at least not easily. Robbie will forgive you next. I think they all know you did it on purpose, but they don't know that you didn't mean it. You just have to apologize a little more sincerely." With that, he took my hand and pulled me towards the rest of our little group.

Beck pulls Jade onto his lap protectively at the sight of me. Cat cowers back in her seat a little, and I notice how Robbie squeezes her hand as if to tell her it is all ok. Cute.

Andre starts "Tori has something she wants to say to everyone." He looks at me expectantly.

"First off, Jade I am so sorry for hitting you. I just didn't want you to hit me, so I guess I had thought that if I hit you first, just gently, Russ would call off the fight before you could hurt me. I didn't mean to give you a concussion and put you in the hospital. Also, to both you and Beck, I am even sorrier for the way I acted back there in the room. You didn't deserve it. I guess I was just trying to be a biatch. Cat and Robbie, I'm sorry you guys had to watch this and I'm sorry to you all for causing all this. I really am. Forgive me?"

Jade spoke first. "I forgive you, but only somewhat. Now we are definitely NOT friends at all, maybe acquaintances, but only because of the apology. I will not hug or touch you ever again. Talk only when needed until my face heals. Got it?" I nod.

Beck loosened his grip slightly and whispered in Jade's ear not so quietly, "You're forgiving her?" Jade nods to him, then they both look at me. "Jade may forgive you, but I'm not so sure. You were very rude. I forgive you, but on the same bases as Jade said before."

Cat and Robbie both say at the same time, "We forgive you." Then Cat adds, on the same conditions. Also, please never partner up with any of us again. Thank you."

I'm so happy! They all forgive me. I think…

Then Andre says, "Good. Because guess what? Tori and I are dating!" He then pulls me into a kiss. They all smile somewhat.

Jade looks at Beck and says to him "Told you so." So that's what they were whispering about while Andre & I were in the corner. Robbie grabs Cat's hand and pulls her to a standing position too.

"Us too!" they yell excitedly! To this, everyone claps. Jade smirks in her seat on Beck's lap and says, "Finally!"

We talk for a few more minutes before Beck says "I should bring Jade back to the RV now and ice her face." We laugh humorlessly and say our goodbyes. Beck and Jade leave in Beck's car, Cat and Robbie leave to go somewhere, anywhere, who knows where, in Robbie's car, and finally Andre drives me home in his car. Good thing we ended up in 3 cars!
