What's this? A new chapter already? YES!

I'm feeling very inspired tonight, so here you go!

It's not much, just a bit of a filler. Also, i'm really tired right now so i'm sorry if there's any spelling mistakes!

-sigh- I wish I could get paid to write for a living!

Anyway, enjoy!


As soon as the radio announcement was over, the group sat in silence, unsure of what to do next. But the silence was broken when Cat began to cry. Her head fell into her folded arms and she sobbed quietly, "I just want to go home," she whimpered. Jade wrapped her arms around her best friend, doing her best to ignore the stabbing pains in her stomach as she moved.

"Don't cry Cat, we'll be okay," Beck assured the small redhead as she cried onto Jade's shoulder. Jade stroked Cat's hair in an attempt to calm her, genuinely feeling bad for her.

Robbie looked at his watch, "I think it's best that we get some rest, it's been a long day," he decided. They all nodded in agreement. Cat lifted her head and wiped her tear-stained face with the sleeves of her sweater before getting up and going back over to the other mattress to get ready to sleep.

"I need to go to the bathroom," Jade announced, attempting to get up, but failing miserably as the pain in her stomach forced her back onto the mattress. Beck stood up and carefully lifted her body so she was standing on her feet. Thankfully, his shirts were long enough to cover her to just above her knees, so he didn't have to drag a blanket behind them as he helped her over to the tiny bathroom tucked away in the corner.

He flicked the light-switch and closed the wooden door behind them. Jade looked at him incredulously, "You are not staying in here while I pee!" she cried. But her tough demeanour was ruined by the fact that she was hunched over and hanging onto Beck's bicep. Beck just rolled his eyes and turned around and closed his eyes. Jade huffed but gave in and used the toilet, not loving the whole situation.

Beck held her up as she washed her hands in the little sink. He turned to open the door again when she stopped him by putting her hand on the door. He frowned and was about to question her when he saw her face. Her eyes were filled with tears as she leaned in and hugged him tightly. He didn't question that, he just wrapped his arms around her in return.

"I'm really glad you're here," she whispered, her emotion evident in her voice.

He closed his eyes and simply pressed a kiss to her hair, "Me too," he replied. And he meant it. It would literally kill him to know that Jade had gotten seriously hurt during the earthquake and that he wasn't there to help her. He didn't want to be anywhere else at that moment. As long as Jade was with him, that's all that mattered.

Jade lifted her head and gazed up into his eyes for what felt like the millionth time that night. Again, he gazed back into those blue eyes that he knew oh so well. But then, he lost himself in the moment, and pressed his lips to hers. She didn't fight him. She didn't push him back and yell at him about how they're broken up and that he's not allowed to just kiss her anytime he wants. She just kissed him back like she used to.

Their moment was effectively ruined by Cat once again as she knocked through the wooden door, "Guys? The zipper on Robbie's pants got caught and… it doesn't look fun…" she said simply.

Beck had to break the kiss to laugh against Jade's lips. Even Jade huffed out a laugh, enjoying that Robbie was in pain. Beck smiled softly down at her and cupped her cheek, wanting to take advantage of this moment. She just smiled tiredly up at him and pecked at his lips before he opened the door.


It was the middle of the night, around about 3am to be exact. And the group could hear the beginnings of the storm outside of their shelter. The wind had gradually been getting stronger as the night went on, and it sounded pretty nasty outside. Inside however, it was a completely different story. It was completely silent as everyone was asleep, even little Cooper. Robbie and Cat shared one mattress and Beck and Jade shared the other, much to Cat's and Robbie's surprise, but they didn't want to say anything to make it awkward.

While Robbie and Cat were fast asleep, Beck and Jade were awake. They weren't talking, they were just lying beside each other, enjoying each others company. It didn't even feel like they weren't dating anymore. It just felt like how they used to be. Jade rolled onto her side, grimacing as her bruised back ached as she moved, and found Beck gazing down at her. She almost blushed, but no, Jade West does not blush for anyone. Not even Beck Oliver.

"What?" she whispered. He said nothing, but gestured for her to move into his arms. She was too tired to argue, so she just shuffled over and snuggled into him. Unknown to each other, they both smiled contently as he wrapped his arms around her, gently running his fingers up and down her injured back. Jade took his injured wrist and rubbed it lovingly, he couldn't even feel the pain anymore. The wind howled outside loudly and made Beck pull the covers up around their shoulders to keep them warm for the rest of the night.

Neither of them spoke a word about their messy break-up, or the possibility of getting back together. Those things were too complicated to talk about at 3am. Plus, by the way things were looking outside, they would probably have long enough in the shelter to talk about them. So instead, they just lay together and fell asleep in each others arms.

Unknown to Beck and Jade however, Robbie and Cat were doing exactly the same. They were no longer on separate sides of the mattress like when they had first gone to sleep. Robbie was now curled behind Cat and had his arm over her body protectively.

For the first time in several hours, everyone felt content, even Cooper. But it couldn't last for long, especially with the storm approaching… could it?
