"Damn," she cursed under her breath.
Beck walked up to the side of her bed. She looked at him in shock.
"How?" she asked.
Beck smiled. "Well, you died so you can see me now."
Jade stared at him in shock. The nurse looked at her like she was crazy and came over.
"Miss West," she asked.
Jade looked back at Beck and he had vanished. She looked back at the nurse.
"Yes?" she asked quite impatiently and searched the room for Beck.
"Are you alright?" the nurse asked looking around the room with her. "Who are you looking for?"
Jade shook her head. "No one..." she sighed.
Then nurse nodded and left the room. Beck appeared again and Jade gasped.
"Beck! How- why did you leave? She can't see you too can she?" Jade asked looking back at her nurse who was now walking far far away from her room.
Beck shook his head with a frown.
"Force of habit," he sighed.
Jade continued staring at him and he looked at her confused.
"What?" he suddenly asked.
"It's just... weird to see you." Jade told him.
Beck nodded and walked over to the chair by her bed. Jade almost laughed when he tried to sit down in it and fell right through it. Beck cursed and pulled himself back up.
"For some reason, nothing will let me sit on it or touch it anymore." he sighed and dusted himself off, even though he was a ghost and ghosts didn't have to do such things.
Jade laughed. "Why do you think that is?" she asked.
Beck shook his head. "I... don't... know..."
He thought and thought and finally he looked at her. Jade looked back and raised her eyebrows at him confused.
"What?" she asked staring back at his long gaze back at her.
"You," he said pointing his finger at her. "You might be the reason I'm losing my uh ghost abilities."
Jade snickered at the words, but her face hardened in seriousness.
"How do suppose I did this to you?" she asked.
Beck sighed. "Well, when you were about to kill yourself, I was taken away from my house, where I was trying to talk to my dad, long story, anyway something took me to you right when you were about to kill yourself. I think that same thing wanted me to stop you, but I failed so... poof! No more ghost powers for Beck." he fell back into the chair, but this time he stayed on top and didn't fall through.
Jade looked at him in shock. "Beck... it worked!"
Beck looked down and touched the chair.
"Yeah, it did..." a huge grin spread across his face.
"That was weird because, just then , I was feeling sorry for you and that I might've actually taken your... powers," Jade said.
Beck nodded. "I think you did, but you kind of have to ability to help me get them back."
Jade looked around to see that a bunch of nurses were staring at her like she was crazy. Jade looked back at the chair to see that it was empty. "Beck!"
"Over here," Beck whispered from under her bed.
"Beck, what are you doing there?" Jade asked, but stayed put on her bed and tried to look as normal as possible for all of the strange nurses that were staring at her.
"As I said before... force of habit. I saw all of those nurses coming up and start looking at us, well you, talking and well, I hid." he told her.
"How can I get out of this place?" Jade asked.
She stretched out on her bed and sighed. "It feels like I've been here for weeks!"
"Well, you haven't... I would know." Beck said from under her hospital bed.
Jade kept quiet as two nurses came in. The one smiled at her and the other just stared in horror.
"Ghost... ghost!" the one screamed and hid behind the other.
"I'm sorry, Michael is scared that there is a ghost in every single room in this hotel." the other nurse told Jade. "You can go now if you'd like... you are healthy enough as I can see." she smiled at Jade as she took out her IV and other monitors that Jade hadn't even realized she had on until now.
Jade looked at the nurse confused.
"What is it Miss West?" she asked.
"Ghost!" Michael cried in horror. "Ghost, ghost, it's a ghost."
Beck quickly slipped out of the room and Jade stared after him. He pointed to the exit door and mouthed that they would meet there after the nurses were done with her. Jade smiled and nodded and looked back at the nurse.
"So, I can go?" she asked still smiling.
The nurse nodded and smiled back at her. "Yes, Miss West you can." she turned around and grabbed Michael by the arm. "Come on... let's go to the next wing."
Michael kept muttering the same thing over and over again as they walked further and further away from Jade's room.
Jade rubbed her arms as she got up and she slid her shoes on and went to the exit to meet Beck.
"Boo!" Beck said when she walked out the doors.
Jade shook her head and laughed. "Very funny, Beck."
Beck shrugged. "Eh, it was worth a shot." he smiled and followed her to her car.
Jade unlocked her car and got in.
"I miss this thing..." he sighed as he got in the passenger seat. "Lots of..." he looked over at her. "Memories..." he finished his sentence with a smile.
"Buckle up, Beck. Oh," Jade realized what she said and looked over to see Beck's hand slipping through the buckle.
"Ghosts don't need seatbelts anyway, right?" he forced a laugh.
Jade nodded and drove to her house. She parked in her garage and Beck got out first and tried to open her door for her.
Jade shook her head and looked at him through the window. "It's not going to work."
Beck sighed. "But..."
Jade gave up on waiting for him to finally open her door and opened it for herself. She walked inside and kicked off her shoes at the front door and ran up to her room. Beck followed her close behind and Jade turned around at her door to warn him that her room had gotten pretty messy since he'd left, but he was gone.
"Beck?" she asked looking down the hall and running back downstairs but Beck was nowhere to be found.
She sighed and walked back upstairs to her room. She hesitated to walk back into her room.
There were just too many memories in this room with him. What if seeing him was just a figment of her imagination?
What if she was really crazy and Beck hadn't just been at the hospital with her or downstairs in the garage trying to open her front door for her.
Jade pushed her door open slowly and looked in her room and gasped.
