Beck and Tori arrived to the West residence and saw Jade's car outside so they knew she was there; they rang the bell several times but nothing happened so they started getting worried. "Jade! Jade, it's me…open the door!" Tori screamed and continued knocking but nobody responded.
"I'm gonna break the door" Beck informed.
"No! Wait, we need to keep trying" Tori said and knocked more times, then she grabbed the knob and realized it was surprisingly open. "Hold on, it's open…" she informed and opened the door so they looked at each other confused. "This is weird"
"Let's go in" He said and they stepped into the house but didn't see anyone at first. They went directly to her room but there was no one in it. However, the bed looked messy even though it was obvious it'd been made.
"Jade!" Tori said loudly as they looked for her but they didn't find her on the top floor. "Maybe she is not here" she commented as they walked downstairs.
"It doesn't make any sense" Beck commented.
"Maybe she went out" Tori said and sighed as they stopped on the last step of the stairs. "This house smells so much like alcohol" she added.
"That man is an alcoholic so...He probably has spilled bottles all over the house while drunk" Beck responded and she nodded. "But are you sure Jade wanted to come back?"
"Yes! She said she needed to feel normal and that she missed you, and the rest of us too" Tori said. "She was excited to be back, I don't understand"
"Neither do I but I hope she co-" Beck started but stopped as soon as he looked to the right and saw Jade's foot on the floor. "Oh no" he said appalled and Tori turned to living room as well. They walked closer to it and saw the horrifying image: Jade was laying on her belly on the floor with one bloody hand still hanging from what was left of the crystal table, which now laid into pieces under and over her body, they could smell the alcohol in the room and Mr. West was sleeping on the other side of the couch.
"Jade!" Tori exclaimed scared and they immediately went to help her. Beck turned her around carefully and Tori covered her mouth even more appalled. Jade had a lot of dry blood on her forehead along with some small cuts on her face and neck, she had a big bruise on her cheek, strangling marks on her neck and some smaller bruises on her arms. Her shirt was all broken so they could see her bra and some cuts on her chest as well, her stockings were completely ragged and she had big bruises on her inner thighs so Beck and Tori looked at each other terrified of what they suspected had happened.
"Oh no, no…" Beck said with lots of tears in his eyes as he shook his head.
"Do you think he…raped her?" Tori asked sadly and Beck moved his hand across his face to focus.
"I don't know…it looks like it" He said, pain and frustration dripping from his voice as he stared at Jade. He stood up and turned to Mr. West, who was laying on the couch with the whiskey bottle and his pants open so Beck shook his head full of rage. "YOU FUCKING ANIMAL!" He screamed and punched Jade's father madly so he started waking up only to feel another hit from Beck.
"What…get out" He mumbled but Beck simply grabbed his head and dragged him towards Jade's body.
"LOOK WHAT YOU DID! YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Beck yelled full of rage and kicked him several times until he completely reacted.
"Jade?" Mr. West asked confused when he realized she was on the floor next to him.
"Yes, you fucking pig…You raped your own daughter and tried to kill her, what the hell is wrong with you?" Beck questioned completely out of his mind, he was so angry that he felt he was going to explode.
"We need to get her to a hospital now, I can barely feel her pulse" Tori said worriedly and called an ambulance.
"No, no…I didn't do that" Mr. West affirmed and tried to crawl towards her but Beck kicked him again.
"Only Jade and you are here, and she didn't do that to herself, did she?" Beck asked and Mr. West shook his head as he stared at her.
"Is she dead?" He questioned scared.
"Not yet, why? Do you want to make sure she is?" Tori questioned angrily.
"What happened to her?" Mr. West asked and Beck chuckled because he didn't even know what to do anymore, but then he leaned down and grabbed the old man's head by his hair to make him look at her.
"From the looks of it, you hit her, you tried to strangle her, you broke her clothes, you forced her legs open, you raped her, you spilled your alcohol on her and then smashed her face against this table" Beck said and each word hurt him more because he would've done anything to have been there for her.
"No, no…no, I didn't do that, what are you talking about?" He asked confused and shook his head. He couldn't imagine doing that to his own daughter, he didn't like her but he wouldn't rape her. "I have never hurt Jade"
"Oh no? What about that time you knocked her out and left her on the floor of your study? Or all those other times when you've grabbed her hair and pushed her around? Or how you starved her? That is violence, who is going to believe you?" Tori questioned full of rage as she stroked Jade's hair with a trembling hand.
"Did you call the cops too?" Beck asked.
"Yes, they're on their way" Tori informed and Mr. West looked down.
"All this isn't going to look good in a court, you'll die in jail and I hope it's painful…You're an animal" Beck said and kicked him more. "HOW COULD YOU?" He screamed and punched him again, every time he imagined that man hurting Jade he only wanted to kill him.
A few seconds later the paramedics rushed into the house and carefully took Jade to the ambulance. "You go with her, I'll wait here with this piece of trash until the cops get him" Beck said and Tori nodded.
"Is she gonna be okay?" Tori asked the doctor attending Jade on the ambulance and he sighed not knowing what to say.
"I don't know, she should've been attended immediately after the incident and from the thickness of her blood I would say she's been there for a day or two" The man said and Tori closed her eyes worriedly.
"Please recover, Jade, please…" Tori said sadly as a few tears streamed down her face. "I should have made you stay, if I had insisted you would be okay, I'm sorry"
The ambulance arrived to the hospital and the doctors took Jade to emergencies, a few minutes later Beck joined Tori in the hospital followed by the rest of the gang. "How is she?" Cat asked worriedly.
"What happened?" Andre asked.
"We went to Jade's house and found her unconscious on the floor completely beaten and bloody, and her father was passed out on the couch next to her" Tori explained.
"The son of a bitch raped her or at least he tried to…" Beck affirmed and took a breath to calm down because he felt he would explode. "And then he tried to kill her"
"He didn't even move a finger to help her for two days" Tori said and shook her head upset. "I hope he rots in jail"
"Oh my god, poor Jade…I never thought this would happen" Andre commented sincerely.
"None of us did, she thought that life would go back to normality starting today and look at her now, she's dying in a hospital after her father attacked her" Tori said with tears streaming down her face and Andre hugged her. "It's not fair…"
"Has someone told Jade's mother?" Robbie questioned.
"I called her but she didn't pick up so I left a message" Tori responded.
"What did you say?" Andre asked.
"The truth…That we'd found Jade almost dead in her father's house because he'd attacked her and that we were on our way to the hospital" She said and took a breath. "I hope she hears it soon"
The gang waited for about an hour and then a doctor walked towards them so they stood up and prayed that he was bringing good news. "Jade West, right?" The doctor asked.
"Yes, how is she?" Beck immediately asked.
"Well, I'm not going to lie to you guys…She's not okay, the trauma on her head was really hard and she didn't recover consciousness in over two days, she didn't get any help in that same period either so that's not good" The doctor started. "She was obviously attacked because someone tried to strangle her but we believe the unconsciousness was caused by the impact her head received"
"Was she raped?" Tori asked sadly and the doctor looked down.
"Well, there are marks on her body consistent with sexual assault but it didn't happen, she probably fought too hard or something stopped him" The doctor said and they nodded, at least that was good news. "I suppose that man left after attacking her so we need to report it to the police"
"We know who that pig is, don't worry, he is being taken care of" Beck said coldly.
"But is she gonna be okay?" Cat asked worriedly.
"Frankly I don't know" The doctor said sincerely. "She's in a coma right now, she's been in one for at least a day…after the concussion, we don't know if there was brain damage or even a fatalistic rupture of veins which would lead to brain death. We are trying to monitor her and see if she wakes up but there's a very high possibility that only her heart is still alive, which would mean she's dead"
"No, no, Jade can't die" Beck said as he shook his head. "You have to save her!"
"You mean she's now living off a machine? Or is that different?" Tori asked confused.
"No, you're right…Her heart was still beating when you found her but now we have her plugged to a machine that keeps her body functioning while we determine if her brain can be saved" The doctor explained. "If we pull the plug, which means we disconnect her, then it's over for her"
"Oh god" Andre said sadly.
"We are doing everything we can, I promise I'll see all the possibilities but I have to be realistic, given the circumstances her possibilities to wake up without any side effect or wake up at all are the smaller percentage in the spectrum" The doctor said sincerely. "Right now chances are 75 to 25% that she is already dead"
