Exactly sixteen seconds after Jade was on the steps she got a text message. Instantly her eyes filled with tears. She got off the stairs and ran into Tori's kitchen sobbing. Pouring herself a cup of coffee to calm down she found it was unsuccessful. Beck and everyone else followed Jade. They were concerned about her.
"Jade," Beck exclaimed what happened.
Jade buried her face in his shoulder crying. Finally after she calmed down (with a little bit of him rubbing her back and soothing her) she showed him the text message. It was from her sister Crystal. He knew that their sister, Ava had cancer. She was Jade's twin and they were really close.
To Jade: Sweetie Ava just died.
At that Jade burst into tears again.
Beck stared at the phone in her hand for a few moments before turning slightly and wrapping both arms around her tightly.
"I'm sorry," he whispered into her hair. Jade was still audibly crying. Beck sighed, feeling terrible. He'd just seen Ava two days ago when he was at Jade's house. She was sick, but she hadn't seemed to be getting worse. And in the privacy of her bedroom Jade confided that she hoped Ava would get to remission.
"Uhh, is everything okay?" Tori's voice came from behind them. Beck turned himself and Jade around slightly, Jade's head tucked in the crook of his neck so she didn't have to look at anyone. Their friends were standing there awkwardly watching them. Cat was biting her lip, looking extremely anxious. She was the only other person who knew about Ava. She'd been diagnosed before Jade even got to Hollywood Arts and before they had started going out. She'd decided that she wanted it to be her secret. It took months before Jade even told him.
Beck knew he had to get her home, pushed her slightly out of the hug, so she could walk with him but kept an arm firmly around her shoulders. Jade covered her face with her hands and took a few deep breathes to try to stop crying.
"I'll talk to you later," Beck said, looking at them before leading Jade towards the door. Eventually, he'd have to let them know what had happened.
Suddenly it all made sense to Beck. Jade's mood swings... her anger and her cruelty. What had he been thinking. He should have known better then to get mad at her. He should have known something was wrong.
"Jade," he said, "I know how you're feeling. I lost a twin too"
Beck's twin sister Olivia had died 3 years ago. She was older then him by 45 minutes just like Jade and Ava only Jade and Ava were identical twins.
Jade dried her tears but the second she dried them it started again. Beck started crying himself.
"Jade," he said, "I know this is tough for you but we've been through tough times before"
"Yeah I know," she said, "But it hurts so bad"
"I know babe," he said, "It hurts me too"
"Why Ava," Jade asked, "She was the best person that ever lived"
"She's in heaven now," Beck said, "And she's no longer hurting."
"But I still am," Jade said, "I just want... I want I mean-"
She broke off in a pool of sobs but she knew that she wasn't alone. Jade had calmed down slightly but the time she had gotten home. Willow was playing with Beck's little sister Callou. Willow was Jade's sister originally but their parents died when Willow was only 3 days old. Jade and Beck raised her since then.
"Mommy," Willow said hugging her
"Hi sweetie," Jade said kneeling down and embracing that little girl.
"Why you sad," Willow asked, "It's okay mommy. I heawr"
She hugged her again in a sweet innocent way
