(Nobody's POV)
It had been several hours since everyone arrived at the hospital to see Jade. Beck had offered a few times to drive Cat home so she could sleep and each time she refused. Jasper had already left, and Andre and Robbie went to the cafeteria to get coffee...a lot of coffee.
Cat was sitting on one side of Jade's bed, holding her hand. Beck stood up and walked to the door.
"Let's hope the guys come back real soon. I could use some coffee."
Cat looked over at her friend.
"Beck, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, kiddo."
"Have you ever lied to Jade, but for a good reason?"
"Cat, no reason is ever a good reason to lie. No matter what your intentions are. And especially not to Jade."
Cat sighed. "Okay."
"Can I ask you a question" Beck asked.
Cat nodded. Beck sat down next to Cat.
"Do you like, Jasper?"
"Of course I do."
"No, I mean...in the same way you like Jade."
Cat thought for a moment before realizing what he meant. Her eyes grew wide as it finally hit her.
"Oh! No! I love Jade. And only Jade! Besides, Jasper is gay."
"Oh, fuck my life!" Beck and Cat both turned to see a groggy Jade with her hand over face.
"Jade!" Beck and Cat yelled in unison.
"Christ! Not so loud!" She said.
"Sorry. We're just glad to see you're finally awake." Beck said.
"How long have I been out?" Jade asked.
"Eight hours." Cat told her.
"Ugh! I need coffee." Jade said.
Beck spoke up.
"You're in luck. Andre and Robbie should be back any se- and here they are."
"Alright who woke the evil Queen from her slumber?!" Andre said jokingly.
Beck and Robbie laughed, Cat shook her head, and Jade gave him the finger.
"Will somebody just give me some fucking coffee?!" Jade said.
Cat took one from Andre and handed it to Jade.
"Here you go, sweetie."
Jade took a sip, and instantly started to feel better.
*One hour later*
Cat and Jade are on the hospital bed. Cat, cuddled up to the woman she loves, clinging to her as if she was afraid to ever let her go.
Jade had her eyes closed. She was rubbing Cat's back when she spoke up.
"I'm sorry, Cat."
Cat, still clinging to Jade looked up at her, highly confused.
"For what, baby?"
"I thought you were cheating on me with Jasper. But, then I heard you and Beck talking earlier. I heard what you said. And now I feel stupid. I'm sorry."
Cat smiled, leaned up and gave Jade, a kiss on the cheek.
"We can talk about it later, okay honey? Just rest."
"Okay."
A few minutes went by before Jade spoke once more.
"I love you, so much."
"I love you too, baby." Cat said lovingly as she placed a long and romantic kiss on Jade's lips.
They continued this until they were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. They both turned to see a doctor standing at the edge of the bed.
"Yes?" Jade said with attitude.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but I just wanted to let you know that you are free to go, Miss West. I wrote you a prescription for a topical cream. You need to apply it to the wound twice a day, and be sure to change your gause twice a day, as well. Otherwise...you risk infection."
Jade took the paperwork from the doctor.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Here's my card, be sure to call me if there are complications of any kind or you have any questions."
The doctor turned around and began walking towards the door until he felt something tug on his shirt.
He turned around to see Cat standing before him.
"Yes?"
Cat lunged forward and hugged him as tight as she could.
"Thank you for taking care of my Jadey."
The doctor looked down, slightly amused, but smiled none the less.
"You're very welcome miss..."
"Valentine. Cat Valentine." Cat stuck her hand out for the doctor to shake to which he did.
"Well Miss Valentine, it was the pleasure of myself and all the doctors in this hospital to take care of Miss West."
"Well, Thank you so much!"
"It's not a problem. Take care."
The doctor walked out, leaving Cat and Jade to get everything together so they could get out of the hospital and go home.
Cat drove home and surprisingly, Jade was more than okay with it. Cat didn't have her liscence yet, but Jade trusted her. Plus Jade told her that as long as she was the passenger, she had control of the radio.
As soon as they walked in through the door, Jade and Cat were assisted by Cat's mother. They helped her walk through the house while her Father set up pillows on the couch and foot rest.
Jade sat down and Cat's Father put her feet on the Ottoman.
"Why are you guys doing this? I'm perfectly fine." Jade said as she started to stand up. However, Cat walked over to her and gently guided her back down.
"No, no. You are going to sit, and relax, and get better." Cat said in a caring, motherly tone.
"I'm still capable of doing shit for myself. I always have been, I always will be and no one can tell me any different!"
Cat began to cry.
"I just wanted to help you get better." Cat said as she ran upstairs to her bedroom.
Jade sighed in defeat and sat back down.
Cat's mother sat down next to her.
"Jade, I know you didn't grow up in the best house, or with the best parents, so you're probably not used to this. Am I right?"
"Look, Mrs. Valentine...I appreciate it. I do, but I don't know...I've always...taken care of myself. And now you guys are trying to take care of me and it's...I guess...weird."
"I understand. I'll tell you what...if you would feel more comfortable doing this yourself; that's not a problem, but that doesn't mean we don't care about you. We've known you for so long, and now you're in a relationship with our daughter, whom has been your best friend for years! We love you, and that will never change."
Cat's mother was in tears at this moment.
Jade knew, everything she said was the truth, but she was still so...Jaded.
She gave Cat's mom a hug and went upstairs to check on Cat.
She opened the door to Cat's room slowly and found her girlfriend standing right in front of her.
Cat latched on to Jade and began to cry again.
Jade, obviously worried hugged her back, immediately. Jade spent a half hour trying to soothe Cat. When she finally stopped crying, Jade looked down at Cat.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"I'm sorry for leaving you down there by your self, and I'm sorry for making you mad." Cat clinged tighter to Jade yet again and this time, Jade wanted to know why, Cat was literally being clingy.
"I'm not mad, my kitten."
Cat smiled. She loved it when Jade called her "Kitten." She was proud to be Jade's kitten.
"You're not?"
"Of course not, baby. I can't stay mad at you. Besides, I should apologize for yelling at you. I'm sorry, kitten."
Jade kissed Cat's forehead softly, then her left cheek, and then her right, then her nose, and finally her lips.
Cat let out a content sigh and cuddled up to Jade, nuzzling her neck in the process.
"Cat, not that I mind, `cause I don't, but why have you been trying to get so close to me lately?"
Cat looked in to Jade's eyes.
"Because I love you more than anyone, and anything. And after last night, I realized that I can't live without you. I need you Jade. I need you in my life. Please don't leave me."
Jade, on the verge of tears kissed Cat with all the passion and love she could muster. She looked at Cat and realized, she felt the same way.
"Never." she said.
They fell asleep, holding one another in their arms and refusing to let go the entire night.
