This is just another transition chapter until Cat gets out of the hospital. Then the drama will start! I still do not own Victorious or any of the characters.

A promise is a promise,
at least that's what they say.
Welcome to reality,
they're broken everyday.

"Cat?" I slowely opened my eyes wondering what I was doing in a hospial bed.

"Beck?" I asked confusion glazed over my eyes. Beck sighed and hugged me tightly.

"How are you feeling?" He asked me.

"I'm alright I guess..." I answered asking myself why it didn't work. Why wasn't I dead?

"I-I came to your house because you weren't answering your phone and...and I saw you i-in your room.." Beck explained grabbing my hands.

"Everyone else is on their way. Jade said she wanted to talk to you." All I could do was nod. Beck saved me. He actually cares about me.

"Uh Cat?" Beck asked looking up at me, his grip on my hands not loosening.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Why?" And that was all he had to say. All the memories, all the lies... everything came rushing back. Tears filled my eyes and Beck immideitly sprang up from his seat.

"Hey, hey. Cat it's alright. Cat you don't have to tell me. I'm sorry. Calm down." Beck wiped my tears and comforted me. I cried into his shirt hugging him tighter.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered.

"For what?" He asked. What was I sorry for? Was I sorry for all the countless times I had to leave all of my friends to go home to my waiting father? Was I sorry for all the lies I had to come up with in order for people to stop asking questions? Was I sorry that the suicide didn't work? I didn't get a chance to answer him because all of my friends filed into the room, Jade first, all with tears in their eyes. I looked around like a deer caught in headlights. I finally looked at Jade who was speaking to the group.

"I have to talk to her alone guys." Jade's voice told the group she wasn't settling for a no. They all nodded and left.

"Cat..." Jade sarted sitting next to me. My eyes filled with more tears as Jade starred right through me.

"Cat why? What happened? You were fine when I left you. Did he come back? What did he do?" I didn't answer any of her questions.

"Cat, talk to me. Please. Just say anything."

"I- I just... I was thinking too much." I started, fiddling my fingers. "I was thinking about everything he ever said to me. Every word and comment came back to me and I- I just couldn't take it. Was he right? Was it true? It was too much. I needed relief. I needed to leave. I wasn't thinking straight." I said starting to sob more. "I'm sorry! I didn't-"

"It's alright! Don't be sorry Cat. You've been through a lot. Just next time you feel like this call me, please. I'm just glad Beck was there.."

"I will Jade. I promise." I whispered as she hugged me.

"Alright I'm going to get everyone else." She said smiling slightly. Not even a minute later Tori, Andre, Robbie, Beck and Jade came back in. Andre and Tori ran to my side.

"Little Red I'm so sorry." Andre said hugging me. Tori was crying.

"I should have been there for you!" Tori said. I shook my head.

"No guys it's alright. Really." I said barely above a whisper. Tori nodded and hugged me again. Everyone released me from the hugs and sat down in chairs. I yawned slightly and Beck reached over me to grab my hand.

"Alright Cat we'll let you get some sleep." Andre said standing up and walking over to me followed by Tori, Robbie and Jade. They each gave me a hug. Jade whispered in my ear.

"I'll be here tomorrow, alright?" Jade asked.

"Yeah." I said nodding. Jade waved to Beck and left. As soon as she left the room Beck turned and smiled at me. I smiled back.

"Oh Cat." He said sitting on the bed with me. I looked at him in the eyes and before I knew it I started to cry again. Beck hugged me tightly.

"Beck." I sobbed.

"What is it Cat?" He asked sweetly playing with my hair and rubbing my back soothingly.

"You know how I told you my d-dad stopped hitting me?" I asked. He immediatly stopped rubbing my back and grabbed my shoulder causing me to look him in the eyes.

"He- He didn't." I started sobbing more, pushing my head back into his chest. I was afraid of his reaction so I just kept my head burried in his chest. I heard him sigh.

"Cat." I didn't answer.

"Please look at me." I shook my head, tears still pouring at of my eyes. He grabbed my shoulders gently again, looking me in my eyes.

"Is this why you.." He looked away, tears filling his eyes. I paused for a minute and then nodded. I let out a sob and Beck bit his lip, still crying. He pulled me into his chest and rested his head on my chin. I've never seen Beck cry and now I was the reason why he was in tears. I looked up and wiped Beck's tears.

"Don't cry Beck." I said. "Please don't cry." I said not wanting to see him sad.

"Cat." He said kissing my forehead. "Promise me you will never scare me like that ever again." He stuck out his pinky. I wrapped mine around his.

"I promise."
