DISCLAIMER: I'm Dan and I own a pet unicorn. LOL. I kid.
"Cat." A voice was heard, followed by hurried footsteps.
Beck followed Cat walking limply with his mud brown eyes. He saw her frown a millisecond before she turned around.
He knew that monster did something with her again. When she entered Hollywood Arts earlier, he wanted to ran to her, hug her and help her. He wanted to be with her, but there's one problem. Jade. He loves Cat, but he loves Jade too. No, he loved Jade; they used to love each other, until the day they woke up, and that was it. No passion. No love. He didn't know why they are still together. He didn't know why he can't let her go. Maybe because he was just afraid that those 2 years of relationship will just go to waste.
"Excuse me; I'm just going to the Restroom."He said; finally decided to talk to Cat alone.
"And what are you going to do in there?" Jade glared at him.
"Jade, I'm going to pee. What am I supposed to do in there?" He sighed, and shook his head.
He went inside the hallway and saw her staring at nothing. She fell on her butt, and then curled up in a ball crying.
"Cat." He went to her and straightened her out. He carried her carefully to the clinic.
"You have a broken knee and ankle; you have bruises all over your legs and a big bruise on your jaw. I also examined your cuts on your arms, they are not deep. Here, apply this on your bruises and ankle and knee to reduce the pain. How did you got all this." The school doctor asked.
"I fall off the tree while I was trying to get the old woman's dentures." Her high pitched voice tried to sound happy, but failed.
"Well, that must be a very high tree." The school doctor stood up. "Okay, I'll leave you two for a moment, a student called me saying there was a boy injured at the Asphalt Cafe."
"Thank you." She said.
"What happened this time?" Beck sat on the chair next to the bed where she sat.
"I was eating my breakfast when he just started to hit me. I ran up stairs but he held me back and pushed me to the floor. He started shouting at me like 'You think you're any better?' I think he's drunk again. He kicked me. He even tried to cut me again with his broken beer bottles, but he passed out." She said in her normal voice and started sobbing.
"Why didn't you do anything? Can you at least fight?" He asked, hugging her tight. How dare that monster. If he could just kill him...
"I told you. My mom loves him very much." She sobbed on his shirt.
"Then why don't you tell your mom?"
"You think she'd care? All she thinks about is work and Clark. Clark, who can't even visit his own home. I don't think she'll believe me if I ever had a chance to tell her? I don't even see her at home." She finally hugged back.
Beck didn't said anything and let her cry on his shoulder.
After some time, he found her snuggled on the crook of his shoulder, leaning on the wall.
She sat up straight. "Sorry I ruined your shirt." She finally smiled.
"It's cool." He replied with a comforting smile plastered on his face. "So, will you go with us?"
"Yeah, I decided since I'm all injured and wounded, this can be a great excuse not to swim. I can also escape from my step dad."
"Great. How about we get back to the cafe before they get suspicious?" She nodded and he helped her walk back to the cafe.
