Hey guys, so i recently had to re-write all the chapters for my other two stories (and it was hard) but i'd written this story before so i decided to upload it.
I hope you like it :)
"Hello my young open minds!" Sikowitz said as he entered the classroom.
"Hi!" Cat said happily.
"Hey" Tori said nicely as Sikowitz stared at all the students.
"Where is Jade? She hasn't come to class in five days" Sikowitz commented.
"She hasn't come to school at all" Tori informed.
"Why? Beck, do you know why Jade has been missing school?" Sikowitz asked.
"No…" Beck said emotionlessly. "Jade and I broke up, remember? Last time I saw her was Saturday night"
"Yeah, he and Robbie helped us babysit my mom's boss dog" Cat added. "I called Jade yesterday but she didn't respond"
"This is strange, Jade has never missed class" Sikowitz said. "Could you guys call her or something?"
"Sure" Tori said and he nodded.
"Alright so…" The classes went on normally that day and after school, the gang decided to go to Jade's house because she wasn't picking up the phone.
"This place is huge!" Tori commented amazed by Jade's house.
"Yes, Jade's dad is pretty rich" Cat said.
"Go ahead" Beck said and turned off the engine after parking outside Jade's house but he didn't seem willing to move.
"Aren't you coming?" Andre asked.
"Nah, I'll wait here" Beck said.
"Beck, don't be ridiculous…Jade won't eat you" Tori commented. "Besides, you and Cat are the only persons Jade's family knows"
"No really, I have only seen her dad once and when Jade was my girlfriend, we never hung out here, she never wanted me to be around…I've actually never been inside for longer than five minutes" Beck responded.
"Whatever, come with us" Tori ordered and Beck sighed.
"Fine…" They all got out of the car and rang the bell but no one opened the door so they kept insisting for about ten minutes.
"Maybe she's not home…" Robbie suggested but then the door suddenly opened showing an extremely yellowish-pale, red eyed, tired and obviously sick Jade.
"Oh my god!" Tori said shocked. "Jade, you look awful" She said and Jade tried to roll her eyes but she felt too weak.
"What do you want?" Jade questioned annoyed.
"May we come in?" Tori asked and she thought about it for a second, then she nodded and opened the door a little more so they could walk inside.
"What do you want?" Jade questioned again, as she tried hard to remain up and awake.
"We came to see why you have been missing classes all week" Andre responded. "But I think we know the answer now…"
"Yeah…so, leave" Jade said.
"We just got here" Tori commented but noticed Jade was having trouble staying focused. "Jade, are you okay? You don't seem to be feeling well…"
"Yes, you look pretty sick" Robbie added. "Is it a cold?"
"No" Jade said but her voice was so weak that it seemed she was whispering so they looked at each other confused.
"Then what is it?" Cat asked.
"I need some rest" Jade said and took a breath while closing her eyes because she was too dizzy. "I think you should go…" She commented and tried to move toward the door but she suddenly fainted.
"JADE!" Tori exclaimed scared and Beck and Andre immediately grabbed her, they realized she wasn't unconscious but she was very weak.
"Oh my god, she's burning up in fever" Beck informed worriedly as he grabbed her in his arms and walked towards the sofa. He set her there and she covered her face.
"I'm okay, you should go…" Jade muttered.
"You just fainted and you're burning up, we are not leaving you like this" Tori affirmed. "Where is your dad?"
"On vacation…" Jade responded and they looked at each other slightly confused, they thought she was hallucinating or something. Jade started trembling and embracing herself because she was cold. "It's so cold…" She said but it was actually a hot day so they decided to take her to the hospital.
"That's it, we are going to the hospital right now" Beck informed and Jade didn't have the strength to say no so he carried her to the car and they went to the hospital.
"Why is it taking so long?" Cat asked because they'd been in the waiting room for almost an hour.
"Jade looked horrible, it seemed she was dying" Robbie commented.
"I hope she's okay" Beck said.
"There comes the doctor" Tori informed and they all stood up.
"Jade West?" The doctor asked and they nodded.
"How is she?" Tori asked.
"She is resting, she has a very severe case of fever which we are treating and it seems she's been in these conditions for a few days now, from what she could mumble she said she's been in bed for a week or so" The doctor commented.
"Yeah, apparently…" Beck said.
"That's dangerous, in her conditions she can't be alone…besides, she's barely eaten all this time so that just adds up to her condition" The doctor affirmed. "Where are her parents? Does she live alone?" He questioned but they didn't really know what to respond.
"Umm…we don't really know but from now on, we'll take care of her" Beck affirmed. "What does she have?"
"To be completely honest with you, I'm not sure" The doctor said sincerely. "It seems an infection but we'll see, it all depends on how she reacts to the medication. Anyway, I'm glad you'll take care of her because, as I said, she can't be alone right now. Due to her conditions, she could've had complications or an accident and that would have caused horrible consequences"
"Don't worry, she won't be alone now" Tori said and he nodded.
"Okay, if we get her fever under control, she'll be able to leave tomorrow" The doctor informed and left.
"I'm so glad we went to see Jade today, I can't believe how sick she is" Tori commented.
"I'm just happy that she didn't trip on the stairs when she came down to open the door" Beck responded. The doctors managed to get Jade's fever under control and her friends drove her back home.
"Thank you for driving me home" Jade said as she opened the door but they weren't leaving so she stared at them confused. "You may leave now" She said.
"We are not going anywhere" Tori responded and Jade raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?"
"You are not okay, Jade and we'll stay here to take care of you" Beck informed.
"I'm feeling a lot better, I can take care of myself" Jade affirmed.
"Your fever might be controlled NOW, thanks to the medication you got because of US but you still look pale as paper and you could get worse again so no, Jade, we are staying, can we come in?" Beck asked and she sighed but ultimately let them in.
"So what? You'll stay here just watching me?" Jade asked because they were all just staring at her but then she felt dizzy again.
"You need to rest, come on…let's go upstairs" Beck said and tried to help her but she pushed his hands away and started walking up the stairs by herself. Once Jade was in bed, her friends stood in front of her waiting for something she needed.
"Since when are you sick?" Beck questioned.
"Sunday" Jade responded. "I started feeling horrible that day, I threw up and felt like dying all day and it just got worse…"
"And where is your dad?" Andre asked.
"I already told you, he is on vacation with Brittany and Evan" Jade informed.
"Since when?" Cat asked. "I saw them last Saturday"
"They left on Monday" Jade informed.
"Without you? Didn't they know you were sick?" Tori asked surprised.
"It was supposed to be a family vacation, I was gonna go with them but on Sunday I got sick and they left anyway" Jade explained. "But it's not like it would make any difference so…"
"And why didn't you go to the doctor or call one of us?" Andre questioned.
"I couldn't drive and they didn't leave me any money so I couldn't pay for a doctor to come home" Jade said.
"When are they coming back?" Beck asked.
"Next week, I believe…they're in Hawaii" Jade informed and closed her eyes.
"Okay, well…rest, we'll be downstairs if you need anything" Beck said and she nodded slowly so they went back downstairs.
"I can't believe Jade's father and stepmom left her like this" Tori commented.
"They're not exactly the best parents" Beck responded.
"At least not with Jade…" Robbie added.
"What do you mean?" Andre questioned.
"Well, look at all the family portraits… it's her father, her stepmom and her stepbrother" Robbie commented as he pointed at some of the pictures. "And look over here, there are pictures of that guy, Evan, all over the place… his graduations since he was a kid, pictures of Jade's dad with him and with that woman. They seem a happy family" He said while everyone stared at the all the portraits in the house.
"There isn't a single picture of Jade here" Tori added. "If a stranger came, they wouldn't know they have a daughter too…"
"Here's a picture with Jade in it" Cat informed while looking at a portrait on a shelf. It was a picture of Jade and Evan when they he was about ten and she was about eight. "But you couldn't really see Jadey because her part of the picture was covered with this plant" she commented and they looked at each other slightly upset.
"I knew Jade's dad was cold and all but he seems much worse than I thought, he doesn't even care about her…" Tori said coldly.
"But she has us and at least for now, she is not gonna be alone"
I hope you liked the first chapter! :)
