a/n: Happy Christmas Eve! I hope you like the update. Thanks to LittleMissVictorious, JessyRae, and spiderwriter for reviewing! really, the reviews are really sweet and encouraging. Thanks! And I don't own any of the games, songs, or movies are anything I mention. I don't own the characters, Jade, Tori, Beck and Cat.
Tori, Cat and Jade made there way to the arcade room, it was a new. It was built last week. Cat wanted to go opening day, but Jade advised otherwise. Cat remembered exactly what Jade said. You know they are others besides eating disorders and cutters here. They are druggies, and occasional drinkers. We are all dangerous. Going opening day isn't such a good idea. With that in mind, Cat was nervous, but pushed the thoughts aside. She wanted to have fun. I deserve it, she thought, I took a big step today! Cat thought with a smile. Cat's attention was pulled to the sign. Please be careful and be nice to one another. Enjoy!
The girls walked up to the money to token machine. A sticky note said money goes to more fun things at the treatment center. Cat's mind raced with thoughts of cotton candy machines and a pool. Jade quickly got out her wallet. "I'm getting coins for all of us" Jade said, putting money in the machine. " This is my treat for both of you guys" Jade gave 20 coins to Cat, and 20 coins to Tori, and then put 20 coins in her pocket.
Cat jumped and pointed to the big screen fruit ninja. She ran to play it, she put two coins in and played. It reminded her of her brother. She use to love playing this game with him. He would always make funny sound effects. Cat remembered him pretending to be the fruit, he would make funny voices, talking about how scared he was to be cut. She remembers how one time, they were making fruit salad. They played fruit ninja in real life. She really misses her brother.
She got 10 tickets from playing. She got the tickets and put it in her pocket. Jade walked up to her. " Why don't you and Tori play that dancing game?" she suggested. Cat nodded, and ran to Tori and pulled her to the dance game.
(Jade's P.o.v)
Jade leaned against the money to token machine and watched Tori and Cat play the dancing game. Jade was kinda sad, she wanted to enjoy her time with Cat. But she had a plan, it was meant to help Tori, she went through with it, even if it meant sacrisficing her time with Cat. Which is a lot to Jade. Jade knew dancing while having an eating disorder is dangerous. She knew Tori would have to eat. Jade wanted to share the feeling of eating. The game was over. Tori was out of breath. Jade saw the concern in Cat's eyes. Jade knew this was a perfect oppriunty.
"Tori, you are out of breath. Maybe you should take a break. Maybe, getting something to eat, and having it stay in your stomach will help. It will give you more energy. Then you can play with Cat." Jade said, motioning to Cat. " Who, I know you wouldn't want to dissapoint" Jade said, she smirked, when Tori looked at Cat. Cat gave Tori the puppy eyes. She knew Tori was hopeless under Cat's power.
"Fine" She finally agreed. The girls walked to the cafeteria.
(Beck P.O.v)
Beck made his way back to the treatment center. Thinking about Cat, the bruises on her body. Wondering who would do that. The thought made him get angry. He tried to calm down. He texted Andre, and reminded him to bring her guitar for tomorrow. He walked to front dest. "Hey, uncle! Do you know where the girls from A21 are?" "No, but I'm hoping in room A21. But just incase they aren't check the new arcade" Beck nodded. "Thanks"
Beck walked around following the signs. Beck saw, the acrade ahead. Signs. He followed the sounds of people cheering and the lights. Beck bumped into somebody. The girl fell. "Shit!" Beck exclaimed, he helped the girl get up. " I'm sorry, my bad" Once he saw who it was, he was in shock. "Beck?" The girl asked. She was 14 years old. Had dark brown long straight hair. The same dark brown eyes Beck had. Oh...the girl was also his cousin.
"What are you doing here?" she asked. Once Beck didn't answer, she waved tge hand infront of her face. " Beck" He woke up from his trance. " Melody?" Melody nodded. " The one and only" She answered. " So, Beck what are you doing here?" she asked. " I can ask you the same thing" Beck replied. " So what excatly are you doing here, Melody?" Beck couldn't wrap his head around this. Did Mr. Erins know? Did his mom know? If they did, why did nobody tell him? His 14 tear old cousin was in a treatment center!
"Depends on your answer" Melody said. " I'm volunteering here" he said. "Really? So am I?" Melody said, clearly lying. " Don't lie to me. Why are you here?" Beck demanded. Melody looked at the ground avoiding eye contact. " Melody Oliver, you are in a treatment center, I want to know why" All these secrets are messing him up. His protective mode was coming out. " Beck, I haven't seen you in months. Are you sure you want to start with this?" Melody asked.
"Melody! I don't have time for these games. Can't you just be straight-foward with me" Melody looked at the ground. Beck took a deep breath. " Fine, I will guess" Melody gave him a small smile. " Okay" " You have an eating disorder?" Melody shook her head, no. " You are a cutter?" Melody shook her head no.
Beck tried to think of other reasons people would be here. He first thought Melody was lying. But he thought about it. He finally came to a conclusion.
His eyes were wide in shock. " You are a..."
a/n: Cliffhanger! I sorry, I had too. And incase you are wondering. Melody is a character from another old fanfic called Journal Jamie. So,why do you think Melody is in the treatment center? I kinda gave you a hint earlier in this chapter. Oh and this is offically and double-digit chapter story! Yay!
Anyway, happy holidays!
Luv and chocolate
