…

Beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…

That's all Beck had been listening to since the night before when Cat was put into a room in this fancy hospital. His girlfriend he loved more than life itself was in a bed before him with a tube up her nose and in her mouth, her hands limply at her side. He covered her up under the blankets so she won't be cold…he knows how she gets cold easily. She was pale and her skin was cold at the touch.

It made him angry to think about the fact someone hurt his pride and joy.

Obviously, everyone knew who it was.

Daniel.

But there's a problem.

Daniel has an alibi.

A friend named Sam covered for him, saying Danny was at his house the night before all night and even spent the night.

How could that be?

Who else would go through ALL that trouble just to beat up a defenseless 5'2'' young girl in a woman's bathroom during a dance on Christmas Eve?

Only person anybody could think of would be her ex-boyfriend Daniel.

DNA tests were being run from Cat's dress as he sat there. Blood from the shattered window was being run as well. The police say Daniel refused to take his gloves off when they questioned him, so they needed to find a warrant to get him to take them off against his will. Hopefully that warrant will come soon…sure, the police really didn't want to work today of all days. Christmas Day…whoever wants to work on Christmas? Beck wouldn't…but he wanted answers, so did the Valentine's.

Andre?

Who knew what he wanted anymore.

Beck couldn't even look at him.

Andre admitted he lost his virginity the night before in a maintenance closet to that stranger, Tina.

Unbelievable.

Beck and Cat had been dating for over 6 months and they hadn't had sex yet.

Andre met that girl the day before and already gave himself to her.

Seriously?

Beck knew Andre was going through a rough time, but that wasn't the way to handle things.

Beck took Cat's hand from under the covers and rubbed it gently. "Come on, babygirl, wake up." He whispered gently. "I'm here. Daniel's going to go to jail soon so he can't touch you anymore. Soon, this will all be over with. For now…can't you wake up? Just open your eyes for me. That would be the best Christmas gift ever…just to see your beautiful big brown eyes staring into my eyes. I love you, sweetheart."

But…all he heard was what he had been hearing for the past day…

Beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…beep…

…

Ding…

Text message from Tina.

Andre didn't want to answer it…nor did he even want to read it. It was because of Tina that he was unable to keep Cat protected from that man who hurt her. He was distracted. He let a girl get in the way of his duty of protecting his baby sister. Beck was right…Cat saved Andre all those years ago…and yet, he let her down when she really needed him. Andre would never forgive himself for this. He was never going to take his eyes off his big brother duties.

But…Cat wouldn't want him sulking. She would want him to go out and date…no matter what. Right?

He sighed deeply as he picked up his phone from the nightstand and read the message.

-Hi, Andre! How's your sister? I'm so sorry for how I acted last night! I was just agitated because we were interrupted, but you were right to put her before me. She's a sweet girl from what I've met of her. I'd love to spend more time with her…but is she okay?-

Wow…

Tina was really worried about Cat.

That made Andre smile.

Tina wasn't all that bad now.

-Reply: She's in a temporary coma for now. The doctor's said she could be coming out of it within a few hours or a few days, but no longer than that. It's still pretty scary for everyone. I miss her a lot. Thanks for asking. That's kind of you to care.-

Ding…

-Of course I would care! We shared something so special last night, Andre! I think I may have deep feelings for you…-

André's heart fluttered as he quickly replied back. –Really? You do? I may have feelings for you too.-

Ding…

-I want to continue what we started last night, Andre…let's go out to lunch and then head back to my hotel room.-

-But my sister…-

-Isn't her boyfriend with her? And your parents? I'm sure she has enough people surrounding her. She won't even notice you're not there since she'll be so out of it. Let's go out today and enjoy life. You need to have your own space. Besides, it's Christmas! Don't keep yourself cooped up in your room!-

Andre rubbed his lips together.

Cat was right in the car last night.

One day, he'd meet a girl he REALLY liked and he'd have to put that girl before his sister…so he guessed those were one of those times.

He shook off the guilt of not going to see Cat today and replied back. –Sure…let's go.-

…

Tina sat on the couch in someone's house as Daniel was in front of her, pacing back and forth. "So Andre says that Cat is alive and should be out of the hospital by tomorrow or later than that…she's in a coma, but she should be out of it within the next few hours. And we have a date planned in an hour. So soon he'll be out of your way to get Cat."

"But there's still one big problem." Danny said in frustration. "Beck."

Tina shrugged. "Not my problem. I can't be in two places at once."

"I know that!" Danny snapped. "Sam!"

"Dude, quit yelling." Sam came down the stairs with a few sodas. "My parents are upstairs. What is it?"

"Tomorrow, if Cat's out of the hospital, you have to "accidently" bump into her at the beach or somewhere like that, where they go. Something!" Danny told him. "You need to get her to fall for you or at least get her away from Beck…I'll be following close behind, so I'll help if you get her alone. Tina, you need to keep Andre out of our way ALL day tomorrow. Accidently break his cell phone or something."

Tina nodded. "I can do that. Easy."

"Good." Danny smirked. "Revenge will be so sweet."

…

Cat had woken up around a half hour before, but fell back asleep…so Beck waited patiently at her bedside still, not leaving her side. He didn't know how she could still be tired after being unconscious for over 16 hours, but he let it go. She woke up, he saw her brown eyes staring into his for a minute, so he's content. He texted Andre…and called him too…no reply. No answer. What the hell was up with that guy? Yesterday, his sister was the most cherished person in his life…now Andre was treating Cat like she was yesterday's trash.

Beck sighed deeply as he shook that off. He would deal with Andre later. Besides…no matter what phase Andre was going through, the guy would never abandon his sister. Never, ever.

But that's what this was right…a phase?

He didn't know.

Yes, Andre and Cat had to grow apart sometime, but this wasn't the way to go about it.

When he heard his sweet princess moan and wake up, Beck smiled and stood from his chair, taking her hand. "Hi, love." He whispered lightly as her eyes fluttered open. "How's my girl?"

Cat shrugged. "Sore…" She looked around and blinked. "Where's Andre?"

Beck rubbed his lips together. "Um…he's…out. I'm not sure where."

"Oh." Cat looked worried. "Is he okay?"

"Last night took him for a spin, babygirl." Beck leaned down and kissed her head, but was carefully to avoid her bandage that covered her stitches. "It gave us all a scare."

"It was Danny." Cat blurted out, remembering everything. "He was there last night. He tried to…rape…me and then he threw me against the counter."

Beck saw red as he gripped her hand, but he didn't lash out at her. She's not the one he's angry at. It's the monster that tried to take her innocence. He wished Danny was there right now so he could beat the living hell out of him and tell him that Cat's virginity was going to be taken by HIM, not Danny. He was the one being patient for when Cat was ready, not Danny. Beck has waited 6 damn months, so he wasn't about to let Daniel swoop in and take what belonged to him.

"Beck, can we call Andre?" Cat asked in her small voice. "I want to see him…or at least talk to him."

"Sure, baby." Beck gave her his phone after dialing Andre's number for her. He wasn't in the right state of mind to talk to Andre. Beck sat back down in his seat as Cat put the phone to her ear.

She waited patiently as it rang…suddenly someone answered the phone…not Andre.

"What?" A sharp female voice answered.

Cat gasped. "Um…is this Tina?"

Beck's head snapped up in curiosity.

"Yes, this is Tina. And this must be the brat sister Andre's always talking about."

Cat almost burst into tears. "Brat?"

"Yeah, brat. Do you realize how much you annoy the shit out of him? He says he's sick and damn tired of always having to take care of you, protect you, and he's just sick of you always being around! That's why he's ditched seeing you, so he could hang out with me all day. He'd rather have his own life with a hot mess like me, then with you bugging him all the time. So quit calling. Leave him alone. Give him some damn space. Please stop calling, cause it's annoying."

Click.

Cat dropped Beck's phone onto her lap as the tears came down her cheeks and didn't stop for hours…

…

Tina put Andre's phone down on the table in the motel room they were in as Andre came out of the shower with just a white robe on. He smiled to her. "Did anyone call for me?"

"Just that guy…um, I think his name is Beck?" Tina faked innocence.

Andre's eyes widened. "Really? What did he say? Is my sister awake?"

"She is." Tina smiled. "She's going to be out of the hospital soon."

"Maybe I should go see her." Andre said.

"Well…Beck said that they only need one person with her right now and Cat said she preferred it to be Beck…only Beck." Tina shrugged. "Sorry, hun."

Andre bit his lip and sighed. "Yeah…I should've figured that. I knew the day Cat and I would have to put others before each other…it still hurts."

"Aw, poor baby." Tina walked up to him and put her arms around his neck. "Let me make you feel all better."

Tina is a home wrecker, huh? Evil, evil…don't forget to review :)
