Thanks everyone for the reviews. I'm glad you guys like the story so far. This chapter doesn't have too much happen I'm just trying to make Tori's recovery realistic. I'm going to try to update this story as often as possible and I have no idea how long this story will be, probably only a few chapters. Let me know what you guys think!

Jade's POV

Tori's progress was slow. About a week after she woke up from her coma her speech started to get a little better. She could form words better but sadly no memories had come back.

Tori remembered the things we learned as a kid like what a bed is, what a hospital is, her name, any things like that, however people she didn't recognize. Andre had flown back the first weekend after she woke up but sadly she didn't recognize him, Cat and Robbie were planning to come the next weekend. Maybe by then she will have gained some of her memory back.

They were going to start her physical therapy to help her walking again. It wasn't that she was paralyzed thankfully but because she as in a coma for two months with no walking her legs were going to be weak and she was going to have to build up strength before she could walk normal again.

All of her injuries she had form the car accident, the gash she had on her head, broken nose, her few cracked ribs all had healed, she was still in a leg cast from her leg being broken but they were going to switch it to a walking cast hopefully by next week and have her start trying to walk again.

Tori despite having not been paralyzed we were warned because of the break in her leg that she may have a limp the rest of her life. Tori seemed in high spirits at the fact that she would be able to walk again so wasn't too worried about the limp.

We were allowed to start taking her for walks around the hospital and outside a little bit each day. Tori was happy to get out of the bed after a week of being awake and only seeing out through the window.

"I-it's. It is s-s-so nice o-out-out-outside." Tori stuttered out. She was getting better as the days continued. She had already started with a speech therapist to help her form her words better.

"Yeah it is, I am glad they finally let you out of the bed for a little bit." I said as I pushed Tori along in the garden outside of the hospital.

I push Tori over to a bench and sit next to her on the bench just feeling the warm fall air around us.

"Are you nervous about starting to walk again soon?" I ask randomly.

"Y-yeah. I a-am a-afraid I w-wont be able t-to d-do it." Tori says with a sad face.

"Yes you will you are the strongest person I know. You fought through a coma to come back to us so I know you will be able to fight through anything." I say squeezing Tori's hand.

"Th-thank y-you Jade. I w-wish I c-could re-remember o-our friend, friendship." Tori stuttered out. I just smile still sad she couldn't remember me but just too happy she was alive.

"Tori don't worry about it, everyone is just so happy you are alive. We can make new memories." I say smiling and squeezing her hand again.

I continued to visit Tori at the hospital everyday after class. I would go in and tell her about my day again only this time she would tell me about her day as well.

The following week Tori was put in a walking cast and was going to start her walking the next day. Luckily I had a short day with only two classes in the morning so I could get to the hospital in time for when they wanted to have Tori attempt to start walking.

I pushed Tori down the hallway to the elevator with the nurse down the floor that they had the physical therapy room. Mr. and Mrs. Vega and Trina were upset they wouldn't be with her the first day they wanted to have her start walking but were happy I could be there with her.

The physical Therapist came over and explained she wanted to have Tori try to walk with the metal bars.

I helped Tori out of the wheelchair and immediately felt her legs buckle under her.

"I got you Tor don't worry. Just a few more steps we will get to the bars. " I said fighting the urge to lift her up and carry her to the bars.

I helped her make the few steps over to the two metal walking bars.

"Okay Miss Vega, you are going to use the two bars to hold yourself up and try to take a couple steps." The physical therapist said when we reached the bars.

"Come on Tori, you can do this." I said looking at her and Tori finally looked up at me with a small smile.

"Th-thank y-you Jade." Tori stuttered. I let Tori grab on to the bars and slowly walked back from her as she used her arms to hold herself up.

I could see Tori's arms start shaking as she held herself up. She moved her leg ever so slowly to take her first step. It was a small step but this was her first step towards recovery. I could see the struggle as Tori tried to hold herself up. She managed a second step before her legs buckled under her and she fell in-between the bars.

"Tori are you okay?" I said walking to her quickly.

"Ye-yeah, th-that's just tough." Tori says. I grab her arms helping her up and I can feel the weakness of her legs giving out.

"Is you leg sore at all?" The nurse asks looking at Tori's healing leg.

"Bo-both my l-legs are s-sore. Tori says leaning on me and the bar for support.

Tori tries the bars again making it about 3 steps before her legs give out again. The PT lets her rest before starting on some arm and leg exercises. She has her do a little arm work out with 1-pound dumbbells to try to help get her arm strength up as well. Next she has Tori try to lift each leg up with no weights. Tori has a struggle with that as well. She can only move her legs up a little bit. I can see the frustration and pain in her face as she tries.

After an hour of rotating between trying to walk on the bars, lifting the dumbbells and lifting her legs Tori's nurse led us back to Tori's room.

"You did really well today Tori."

"N-no I d-didn't Jade." Tori says as tears form in her eyes.

"Yes you did." I said sternly causing Tori to look in my eyes. "Tori you aren't going to be able to just walk across the room right away it will take time. I saw you fight through therapy today even with the struggle though you didn't give up. You did well even though you don't feel like you did."

"Th-thank you J-Jade." Tori says with a smile on her face.

We sit quietly for a little while watching TV before The Vega's get there with Trina. They each take a turn walking up to give Tori a hug. After we chat for a while I get up to get everyone some coffee.

I see Tori's nurse on my way there.

"Hey, coffee run?" She asks when I walk by.

"Yeah, coffee and juice for Tori."

"Oh that's so sweet. I think you a wonderful girlfriend." She says.

"Oh I'm not Tori's girlfriend." I say with a frown. I wish but now is not the time to think about that. I just want Tori to get better first.

"Oh I am sorry, it's just the way you have been by her side and how you helped her at therapy today."

"No it's okay. I wish she were." I say in a strange moment. I have chatted with Tori's nurse the whole time I have visited so it's no surprise she would assume I was her girlfriend. " I just want her to get better before I talk to her about anything like that. I care more about her health than my happiness." This was a very strange sentimental moment for me.

"I understand. She will see after all this how much you care for her and won't be able to resist you Jade." The nurse smiled squeezing my arm before walking away.

I bring everyone their coffee back and Tori a juice from the cafeteria. Tori hasn't been able to eat any solid foods yet she still has a feeding tube in her side but they have allowed her to start drinking juice.

"Here I got you some juice." I say handing Tori the juice as I sit down. "It's apple, um it was your favorite." I say blushing a little.

"Thank y-you." Tori says smiling. We all start chatting again and I tell the Vega's how well Tori had done in therapy.

It came that time of day where we had to say goodbye to Tori because visiting hours where ending. I leaned over to give Tori a hug.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I said to Tori give her a smile and her hand a squeeze.

"We are going out to dinner, would you care to join us?" Mrs. Vega asked me as we walked out of the room.

"Yeah sure, thanks where are we going? I just have to run home and get some more money." I say before Mrs. Vega interrupts.

"Nonsense Jade. Come on let's go." Mrs. Vega ushers me out to their car. "We will come back to get your car later."

"Thank you." I say as I get in the car with the Vega's.

I enjoy dinner with the Vega's more than I ever expected to. They were very grateful that I have been there to help Tori with her recovery.

"Thank you Jade." Trina whispered to me while we drove back to the hospital to get my car. I turn to look at her. "You are really helping Tori, she will see how much you truly love her." I nod not believing Trina. I am not doing this to get Tori to fall in love or even so Tori can see how much I love her. I am doing this because I want Tori to recover. Even if she never gets her memories back and doesn't want to be with me like that I'll be there.

"I just want her to get better she deserves to." I say Trina pulls me into a quick hug, which would be weird before this accident happened but since that first day when I found out its kind of a thing between Trina and I. We are friends.

"Good night Trina, good night Mr. and Mrs. Vega thanks again for dinner." I say before getting out of the car to get into mine.

I drive home with a smile on my face. Tori is awake and will be able to walk again. The doctors truly believe her speech will improve in the next couple weeks and she will be able to sing again. She deserves to be able to follow her dream of being a pop singer.

I get home and shower before turning on a movie and reading some of my chapters I need for my English class.

The next couple of weeks I go to school in the morning and then go to visit and stay with Tori at the hospital. I bring my work in there and talk with her then just find myself sitting there doing work if she naps or is just watching TV. Sometimes I am there when she does her physical therapy other times I get there later and just talk to her about it.

As the weeks pass by Beck gets a weekend he can come visit. Tori doesn't remember him either unfortunately.

By the third week Tori's speech had recovered greatly she wasn't stuttering her words as much and was able to think of her words faster. Sadly she still had not gained her memory back.

"Ugh, Jade, I,I feel l-like my l-legs will never be stron-strong enough again." Tori says frustrated after physical therapy one day I could go with her.

"Don't say that Tori, you will and I'll be there every step of the way with you. I promise." I said squeezing her hand.

"Thank y-you Jade. I re-really wish," Tori paused "I wish I c-could remember my l-life before the ac-accident." Tori paused again before continuing. " It's frustrating. I kn-know even th-though I can't remember th-that Trina is my si-sister and my pa-parents are my parents." Tori pauses again to take a deep breath. "I also know you were a go-god friend but the me-memories." Tori stops shaking her head unshed tears forming in her eyes and it breaks my heart. I intertwine my fingers on her hand to give her comfort. " I wish I c-could have those me-memories ba-back." Tori blinks causing a tear to fall from her eye and I move to wipe it with my free hand.

"I wish I could give you those memories back, if I could I would in a heart beat bit we will just have to make more memories." I say smiling.

I am sad Tori doesn't remember her old life and I would gladly give her her memories back but some sick part of me is glad she can't remember what a rotten awful person I was to her when she first came to Hollywood Arts.

"I'm g-guessing s-since no-no guy has b-been here besides Andre and Beck that I don't have a bo, uh a bo-boyfriend?" Tori asks randomly after a few minutes of just sitting there.

"Um no you didn't, you were single." I say rubbing the back of her hand with my thumb. I can't help but think that maybe one day in the future that maybe she would be with me.

"Oh." Tori says seeming kind of sad. I just quietly sat there watching the show with her.

"Wh-where's your bo-boyfriend?" Tori asks again after a few minutes randomly.

"Oh I am single too." I say looking at her.

"Yo, you must ha-have so-some so-sort o, you must have some sort of life be-besides be-being stuck here with m-me." Tori says looking at me.

"No I don't, you may not remember but all of our close friends that came to visit you are the only friends I really have. I, uh, I'm sorry if I am starting to be clingy or whatever. I just know you need support while you are here and well you were my best friend and I hate that you are stuck in the hospital." I pull my hand from Tori's realizing I still was holding it. God I have been so worried about helping Tori out that I didn't even realize if she was getting sick of me. "Sorry, I can give you space if you want. I just wanted to help." Tori grabs my hand when I move it close enough to her.

"No I di-din't me-mean it l-like that J-Jade. Th-thank you. I j-just don't want t-to ke-keep you fr-from your life." Tori says squeezing my hand with a smile. Oh Tori if you only knew you are my life I think.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Jade, th-thank yo-you fo-for helping me." Tori says squeezing my hand again. "I, uh I ap- appreciate it." Tori says.

I find myself looking at Tori as we watch the weird show on her TV. Her parents should be here soon with Trina. I hope I am not being obvious with my feelings toward Tori, I don't want her to know how I feel and be worried about it.

When visiting hours eventually end I give Tori a quick hug like I usually do and say goodbye to the Vega's.

"Y-you'll be be back tomorrow right?" Tori says when I say goodbye.

"Of course, there is no where else I would rather be." I say. God I really hope she just sees this as a best friend gesture.

"Go-good night J-Jade I'll see y-you to-tomorrow." Tori says with a smile.

"Goodnight Tori."
