Jade's POV
I woke up in the middle of the night, I opened my eyes slowly as I feel my pillow wet, I let my finger to my nose, of course, my nose is bleeding… again, I turn to see the clock, it was 3:45 am, I get out bed and turn on the light to see the state of my pillow, it was all red of my blood, I make my way to the bathroom to clean myself as I throw the pillow to the laundry, I see myself in the mirror of the bathroom, I was all covered with blood, if I were a normal person probably I will be freaking out, because the normal people are not use to get nose bleedings in the middle of the night, but guess what?.. I'm not a normal person, get nose bleeding in the middle of the night is normal for me, well… is normal for all the kids with leukemia, like me.
I get back to sleep, tomorrows are the auditions of American idiot and I'm going to audition for "Whatsername" because Beck is going to audition for the "Jesus of suburbia"
"Wake up honey, it's time to school" said my mom from downstairs
I opened my eye as I feel this bitter-sweet pain on my head, I sat up in my bed and I feel a little dizzy but I was fine, so I take a shower and get dressed, as put my new "I hate the world" T-shirt I note a big bruise on my stomach, like I said before this would freak out some people, but its normal for me, is one of the most notable symptoms of leukemia, I finished dressing up and went down stairs
I see my mom on the kitchen and my brother running around the table, my stepfather was sitting on the couch reading newspaper
"Hey Jade" said my little brother as I walk to the table
"Hey Jason" I said as I sit up
"You ok, honey?" asked my mom with concern in her eyes, she asked me this question every morning, is like she think that I'm always feeling bad
"I see your pillow at the laundry, did your nose bleed last night?" what a stupid question
"No, my pillow get wet with fresh blood by herself" I said sarcastically, my stepfather stand up and said
"Don't talk to your mother like that" I turn to him, my headache is getting worse, so I just said the first thing that came in to my mind "I don't care, you are not my father" I see the concern expressions on my parent's faces as I start walking to the door.
I was walking to the school as my headache get worse, and I remember that I forgot to take my medicine today, this could be a bad thing, but in the other side is a good thing, that stupid medicine make me shiver like crazy, I don't want to be shivering in my audition, I entered to Hollywood arts and see cat.
Cat's POV
I see jade walking to me and I said "Hey Jadey"
"Hi cat" she said, there is something wrong here, normal jade would tell me to never call her jadey
"Are you ok?" I ask her, she turn to me and said
"I'm fine, why everyone have to think I'm not ok?" I look at her closer, she was more pale than usual, and she look really tired
"Because you don't look ok" I said "well, I'm ok" she said as she takes a book out of her locker, she close the door and said
"Where is Beck?" "I'm here" he said from behind us, followed by Tori Robbie and Andre as I remembered something "one day my brother came home with some friends"
"And…" said Robbie "that's all, not all the stories have to be long" André make a confusion expression and said
"It's me, or for the first time in all our lives, cat's brother did something normal?"
"WHAT'S THAT SUPOSE TO MEAN" I said as I walk to class
Beck's POV
"IT MEANS THAT YOUR BROTHER IS WEIRD" scream jade, I chuckle a little and turn to her, she look dizzy, maybe she's not feeling fine
"Hey baby, how are you feeling?" I whisper in to her ear, she gave me the "I'm fine" look, but I know she's not, we start walking to class when tori said
"Are you ready to the auditions?"
"Robbie is not even an actor" said Rex, we all laugh at that, I have an eye in jade, I think she have fever, because her hand feel really warm
"I'm auditioning for """ said André
"Well I'm auditioning for the "Jesus of suburbia"" I said
"I'm going for "Whatsername"" tori and jade said at the same time
"wha-what?" said jade in a really angry tone, ok now I'm sure she's ok
"You can't audition for "Whatsername", I'm auditioning for "Whatsername"" we entered to the classroom and tori said "well, the best actress is going to win"
After that, the day went really good, I'm sure that jade is feeling fine, because she looks better than before, and now we I'm going to met her at the black box theater for the auditions, I get in to the theater and see jade studying her lines and I said.
"Are you ready?" she takes the script and put it in to her "gears of war" bag and said
"I'm going to kick Vega's ass" lane get in to the stage and said
"ok, let's start with the role of """ André and a group of people get in to the stage as they start audition their lines, then it was my turn to audition, I sing my lines and I think I did it really good, because jade told me that I was awesome. Lane gets in to the stage again and said
"Ok, I need the girls for the role of "Whatsername"" Jade, Tori and some other girls stand up and get in to the stage
"Tori Vega, it's your turn" said Lane tori get in to the middle of the stage, she start singing 21 gungs, I think she did it really good, now its jade turn, she walk in to the stage and start singing letterbomb, she was awesome, more awesome than tori, I hope she won the role, when all the girls finishes lane said
"Ok, tomorrow we will told you who win the roles"
Jade's POV
I woke up the next morning, and God, I'm seriously feeling bad today, my head is hurting a lot, I sip up in my bed, and I feel a horrible pain in my back, I hear my mom from downstairs screaming
"Jade, it's time to get up" I want to reply, but I can't, I hear someone walking in the stairs, I see my mom at the door of my bedroom and she said
"Honey, I think you should stay home today" I feel terrible, wait a minute I remember, I turn to my mom and said in a weak voice
"I forgot my medicine yesterday, I feel terrible" my mom was sitting on my bed, feeling my temperature and she said
"You are burning, I'm going to call your doctor" I nod as I take my phone to call beck, I search the number in my phone and call him
"Hey baby, were you? I'm looking for you?" beck said on the phone
"I'm not going to school today" I said, beck immediately sound really worried and said
"Are you ok? I can go to your home if you want"
"Don't worries, IL be fine, my mom is here with me, and I need you to tell me who won the role of "Whatsername"" I really want to know who won the role, I sure I kill Tori if she won again"
"Ok baby, see you after school" said beck as he hung up the phone
My mom came back to the room with the phone on her ear, and said
"Doctor Charlotte wants to know if you have any type of pain"
"My back hurts a lot" I said, my mom told that to the doctor and hung up the phone, she sit up in my bed and said
"She said that she wants to see you, now" I start coughing violently and said
"Now? But I'm not dying""I know you are not dying, but she just want to make sure that there is nothing wrong with you" I put my head in to the pillow and said
"I feel really bad; I don't want to get up" my mom was playing with my hair and said
"I know you feeling bad, but we have to go, I just want to make sure that there is nothing wrong, ok?" I nod weakly as I start to get up, when I feel this terrible pain going down my back, my mom see the expression on my face and came to help me, God I hate feeling this bad, my mom help me to go to the car and we drove to the doctor clinic
Beck's POV
I'm really worried about Jade, she sound really bad, but have great news for her, she's "Whatsername" and Tori is her understudy, and I get the "Jesus of suburbia" roll, I hear my phone ring, and I answer it
"Hello? Beck?" I hear jade's voice in the phone
"Hey baby, I have awesome news for you-"she cut me and said
"If I won the role, just give it to Vega, she would be better than me" what the hell she's saying
"Hey what are you saying that?" I asked her in a calm voice, she sounds like she's crying; I try to be strong for her even if hearing her cry broke my heart
"Hey baby, don't cry, what's up? Are you ok?" she was still crying when she said
"I feel terrible, I'm on the hospital, the doctor said I have to stay for some long time, she said that I'm having a leukemia reaction, and they need to control the germs on my body or something"
"You're in the hospital? Ok I'm going now" I hung up the phone and see the gang starting at me, they know that I was talking to jade, they know what we were talking about, except Tori, she walked to me and said
"Who is in the hospital?" no one said a word, we all know that jade doesn't want the people to know about her condition, specially Tori, jade think that if tori know about, it she would think she's weak and need protection, Cat look realy worried as she said
"Jadey is not ok, right?" I nod weakly and Tori who look more confused said
"What's wrong with jade?" no one spoke, I start walking to the door of Hollywood arts, when tori said
"Were you going?" I don't what explain things right now, so I just said
"My girlfriend needs me" I walk to my car and left to the hospital
Toris POV
Beck left the school, everyone was in silence, I turn to my friends and said
"Tell me what happened, why is jade on the hospital?" no one said a word for a minute, and then Robbie spoke
"I think we have to tell her" cat look like she was about to cry, and she said
"We can't tell her, jadey doesn't want her to know" what it's that important thing, did she kill someone or something like that? Cat was crying when she said
"Ok, but let's go to a private place" we went to the janitors closet, everyone was silent, I was the first one to speak
"We'll tell me, what's up with jade?" they look at each other, when Andre said
"Jade is sick" I'm confused now "sick, you mean like mental sick, because I always think she has problems with scissor and blood" Robbie shock his head, Andre didn't move and cat spoke
"She has leukemia" I feel like I'm an crashing down, it can't be possible, she's jade west, the mean girl of the school, she loves blood and all that stuff, it can't be true, I dint want to talk but there is a lot of questions that I want to ask, I take a deep breath and asked
"Since when?" cat was crying harder, Andre look at me and said
"Since seven grade, I remember that she was always feeling tired, she has bruises in her arms and legs and she lost lots of weighs, we didn't pay attention of those thing, I fell really guilty because I used to tell her that it was all on her mind, but one day we were at my house, she said she wasn't feeling good, we didn't pay attention, we told her that she was fine but she wasn't, she said that she felt dizzy and then she faint, my mom drive her to the hospital, and that was the day we find out"
"i cant belive this"
