Love The Way You Lie
Chapter 7- Cough Syrup
"If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down." Cough Syrup- Young The Giant

Author's Note: Okay you can all hate me for taking so long to upload this, but I've been really busy lately and I'm also having issues lately. I know excuses excuses, but stuff happens. Also, like every other chapter there is grammar problems so just bear with me. I'm not sure if the song I chose goes with this chapter. It just sounded good and it seemed appropriate for it, but yeah. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.
Cat
I ran as fast as I could. How could she? I know she knew how I felt about Beck. I stopped running to catch my breath. Maybe I shouldn't have slapped her. Jade didn't really deserve that. Should I go back? I shook my head in disagreement to that thought. No, I should keep going. There has to be someone I could talk to… I looked around to see where I was. Wow, I ran pretty far… Oh! Robbie lives near here! I quickly wiped the tears away and started walking in the direction of Robbie's house.
Jade
I frowned in distaste as the man on the other end of the phone spoke. "Listen, Jade. Bring Cat back and nothing bad will happen." I laughed quietly, but he somehow still heard me. "This ain't funny dammit! Bring my girlfriend back or else!"
"I don't know where she's at, Logan." I told him. "Besides it's obvious she doesn't want to go back. If she did she would've gone back by now." I can hear the anger in his voice.
"I want her back by tomorrow morning." He said. I bit the inside of my cheek. "If not there will be consequences."
"Like what?" I asked, not really threatened.
"You'll see." With that said he hung up. Great… Now not only do I have to find Cat I have to find her or else her crazy, abusive boyfriend is going to lose it completely. Now, where would that girl go? Definitely not Tori's because she would know Tori would contact me or Beck. I'll call Tori in a few; time to drive around the neighborhood to see if I could spot Cat. I grew frustrated every time I turned a corner. That girl was nowhere in sight. How did she get so far so quickly? I heard my phone go off. It was a text from Beck.
'Did u find her?'
As I went to reply I hear a car honking and as soon as I looked up my car collided with the other vehicle.
Cat
"Robbie! Robbie, let me in!" I yelled hoping he could hear me. It was about five minutes before the door opened. Robbie stood in front of me and I just hugged him. "Robbie, you wouldn't believe what's been happening…" He wrapped his arms around me and rested his head on top of mine.
"Well, you're fine now. Let's go inside." I nodded and went inside with him. He motioned for me to sit down on the couch. I sat down and looked up at him. "Do you want something to drink?" He asked. I shook my head no and patted the empty seat beside me. He hesitantly sat beside me. I leaned into him and sighed.
"This is the first time in a while I've been fully relaxed." I commented.
"Uhm C-Cat, what's been going on? If you don't mind me asking." I mentally groan and sit straight, no longer leaning on him.
"A whole bunch of stuff: Logan…Jade…Beck…" I look at Robbie and he looked a bit confused.
"Beck?" He asked. I nodded. "What happened with Beck?"
"Nothing… I just ended up liking him and Jade hooked up with him...If you know what I mean…" I looked at the floor.
"Oh…" It wasn't hard to hear the sad tone in his voice. "Well, everything will get better I'm sure." I looked at him and he smiled reassuringly at me. "Plus, you're no longer with Logan."
"True, but I doubt that he will just give up on me." I stated.
"Don't think about that okay? He can't hurt you anymore." Robbie's phone started ringing. "Oh, um, I'll answer that..." I nodded and watched as he answered his cell phone. "Hello? There's been an accident? Who? Is she okay?" I instantly became worried. Who is he talking about? And an accident? What kind of accident?
"Yes, she is with me. Yeah, I'll tell her. Okay. Thank you, bye." He hung up and I gently touched his arm.
"Robbie, what happened?"
"Cat… Jade was in a car crash." My eyes widen in horror. What? This can't be true.
"N-No. You're lying." I stood up.
"Cat, listen." Robbie stood up and reached for me. I backed away and covered my ears. "Cat! Listen to me!" He grabbed my arms and forced them at my sides. I froze in my spot; terrified to even move. "I'm taking you to see her. I will not take no for an answer. Understand?" His hold on my arm loosened and I nodded. "Okay. Good. Now, come on."
On the way to the hospital Robbie got me talking about the CD we were making with Andre that somehow got postponed since Tori showed back up. I mean, yes Beck and I practiced the song we were gonna sing, but I don't think we actually recorded it for the CD. Okay, I'm just rambling now. Anyway, after a while we made it to the hospital and thankfully the nurses are letting us see Jade.
We walked into the room and everyone was already here and Jade was lying in the hospital bed, bruised up with cuts and everything. They had the tube in her nose; she was sleeping at the moment. Tori gasped when she saw me and instantly hugged me. I hugged her back and I can hear her sobbing. I looked over at Beck and Andre and they were really upset. I mean everyone is upset. No one wants to see their best friend in a hospital bed looking on the verge of death. Who would want that at all? Tori ended the hug and gave me a sympathetic smile and went back to Andre's side. A nurse came in with some papers and a clipboard. She looked around and adjusted her glasses.
"Are y'all friends of Jadelyn West?" She asked looking around. Everyone just nods. The elderly lady took a deep breath and looked back at the papers. "Well, the doctor said she will recover, but it will be a few weeks before she can move around a lot. Also, when she wakes up she will be able to leave if the doctor says she's recovered enough to leave the facility. She should be fine though, but visiting hours is about to be up so y'all need to finish it up." With that being said she left.
"I'm so sorry everyone. This is all my fault. If I hadn't gotten mad at her she wouldn't even be here. We wouldn't be here right now; looking sad and hurt. I'm such a terrible friend. Why do y'all even bother with me? I just.. I just don't understand.." I sit down in the closest chair and bury my face in my hands, crying.
"Cat, you're not a terrible friend. This isn't your fault either." Andre spoke up.
"Exactly, it just happened. Things happen, okay?" Tori agreed and I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder. I look up and see Beck smiling down at me. I then remember what happened between him and Jade. I stood up suddenly filled with anger.
"I wish I didn't like you so much. None of this would have happened. If Jade didn't go to your place. If none of what happened happened then everything would be fine." I said as I looked at him. He had a look of concern on his face.
"Cat, listen, things happen like Tori said, but I do like you. What happened between Jade and I was a spur of the moment thing. We were both lonely and we were there for each other in that moment. She told you about it because she didn't want to keep it a secret from you. Jade loves you and never wants to hurt you in any way. You know that." He explained. I looked at the floor and the room suddenly got quiet.
"I know…" I said quietly.
This chapter may seem short, which it is, but I'm having writer's block pretty bad. At least I got this out though. Sorry for ending the chapter there. It'll all work out in the end though. You just have to be patient. Thanks for reading and putting up with the wait. I can't say when the next chapter will be up, but I'm sure for all the Robbie fans he will have a bigger part. Hopefully. We'll see where it goes haha. Anyways, night.
