"Goodbye dad…" Jade whispered and her hand dropped as her eyes closed.
"Jade?" Her father asked fearfully. "No, no, Jade, no" He said desperately and the gang looked at each other scared.
"Jade!" Beck exclaimed with tears in his eyes as he walked towards her.
"Please, honey, wake up…don't die, Jade, don't die" Mr. West said desperately as he stroked her face with trembling hands but then Beck touched her wrist to feel her pulse.
"Thank god! She is still alive" Beck informed and everyone exhaled relieved. "But we need to take her to the hospital; they have to wash her stomach or something to stop the poison"
"Yes, yes…" Mr. West said and they were about to grab Jade in their arms but then Brittany and Evan suddenly entered the room.
"Hey honey, how is Jade?" Brittany asked nicely and he stared at her full of rage.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Beck screamed madly and started punching Evan so Brittany got confused.
"Get off my son!" She ordered as she tried to push Beck off Evan but she wasn't as strong so she turned to her husband. "John, for godness' sake, do something"
"Oh I will" He responded and then suddenly slapped her angrily so everyone's mouths dropped. "You damn whore, how could you?"
"What are you talking about?" She asked confused.
"You are the reason Jade is like this, you are trying to kill my daughter" He affirmed and she stared at him disconcertedly.
"That's not true" Brittany affirmed.
"Yes, it is, I saw it…I saw you poisoning her…I'm gonna kill you!" He exclaimed full of rage and put his hands around her neck. He pushed her all the way back until the sofa and continued strangling her. "I loved you, I gave you everything, how could you?" He asked while burning up in anger as he strangled her.
"Mr. West, stop, stop!" Andre and Tori said as they tried to pull him back.
"She's not worth it and Jade needs her father now more than ever, you can't be in jail" Tori said once they had managed to get him off Brittany, who was gasping for air.
Beck stood up and Evan was completely beaten up at that point. "I warned you, you piece of shit" Beck said and stepped back, Evan stood up slowly and looked at John.
"Dad…" He said while holding his stomach.
"You're not my son" John said coldly. "You two are the biggest mistake of my life, I gave up the more for the less" He commented referring to Jade and them and then they heard the sirens.
"We already called the cops" Andre informed.
"Good, they need to take the trash out of my house" John said and turned to his dying daughter again. "It's okay, baby, we are going to the hospital to save you right now…" He said and Brittany started laughing.
"Don't be ridiculous, darling, nothing can save her" Brittany said. "She is not gonna make it through the night and besides, you want her dead as much or more than I do, she killed your son!"
"Shut up, bitch" John said coldly.
"They don't know how to save her, the poison I gave her is untraceable and you don't even know what it is" Brittany commented but then Beck grabbed her purse and looked for the little bottle so she stared at him nervously.
"Got it" Beck said and she looked down angrily before the cops entered the room.
"Thank god you're here officers, take these two criminals out of my house" Mr. West said and the cops handcuffed Brittany and Evan.
"SHE IS GONNA DIE AND I'M GOING TO BE SO HAPPY, THE BITCH DESERVED IT!" Brittany screamed and laughed, Mr. West couldn't believe he had been married to that woman for so long.
Jade's dad and friends took her to the hospital and gave the doctors the poison just so they could apply her the right treatment. "Why is it taking so long?" Beck asked anxiously because they'd been waiting almost all day and then they saw the doctor coming.
"Doctor, how's my daughter?" John asked worriedly.
"Alive" The doctor said and they exhaled relieved. "The poison she was taking is very, very dangerous…we still need to do some tests to make sure it didn't affect any of her organs but if she had consumed A LITTLE BIT more, even a glass of water, she would be dead right now" He informed and Mr. West shook his head, hadn't Jade's friends set those cameras and checked them that day, she would be dead and he would have stayed with her killer.
"But is she gonna be okay?" Beck asked worriedly.
"Yes, now that we know what she has, we are able to reverse it, like I said, as long as there isn't serious damage on her organs because then it'd be another story" The doctor responded.
"Can we see her?" Cat asked and they all followed him to Jade's room.
"Of course, she is still very weak but a little better, at least she is awake" The doctor said and opened the door. Jade was sat on the bed but her back and head were resting back on a pillow and she was staring at the ceiling but when the door opened, she slowly turned to it and saw her friends and dad standing there.
"Hey" Beck said smiling as he walked towards her and she smiled back. "You will get better" he informed happily and she looked down sadly.
"Liar…" Jade said. "It'll be like all the other times I've been here; I'll feel better for a couple of days and then it'll just be worse…although, I can't get any worse now, can I?" she commented and sighed sadly.
"No, it's not like the other times" Beck affirmed.
"I know…this time I'm not going back home, I'm going straight to the cemetery" Jade affirmed and he shook his head with a couple of tears streaming down his face because she still looked like dying and she felt that way too.
"No, no, you're not" Beck said and she stroked his cheek slowly.
"Then why are you crying?" Jade asked with a sad smile on her face. "It's okay, I know I'm dying…and I'm sure I look like I've been dead for a while" She commented and tried to chuckle but it was hard for her.
"No, Jade, stop saying that, you won't die…You feel like that now but it'll pass soon" Beck affirmed.
"I can't do this anymore, Beck, I'm tired of fighting to stay alive…Just promise me that you won't forget me" Jade said as a tear streamed down her face and Beck looked down trying to hold the tears back.
"I won't forget you and you won't die, now that we know what you have the doctors will save you" Beck said and Jade stared at him thinking he was just saying it to make her feel better.
"Really?" Jade asked clearly not believing him. "And what do I have? Why am I dying?"
"That's my fault, darling" John said and Jade looked at him.
"Dad…you're still here" Jade said.
"Of course, baby" He said and she stared at him confused but then looked down.
"You never called me that before…It's because I'm agonizing, right?" Jade asked sadly and he felt his heart getting crushed, it was horrible to realize he had always treated his only daughter with the coldness of an ice and that that attitude had clearly hurt her.
"No, no, my love, you're not gonna die" He affirmed but she didn't believe him.
"Dad, listen…I know you've never been proud of me and that you want to forget I ever existed but when I die, please keep a picture of me, I want you to remember me…please" Jade demanded sadly and lots of tears started streaming down his face. "Don't be sad, dad, your life will be like you always wanted it to be…just you, your wife and your son, I've always been a burden in your life" she affirmed.
"Don't say that, Jade, you're a blessing" He affirmed. "I'm the only one who should be sorry here, I'm the worst father"
"It's not your fault that I'm like this" Jade said as she wiped his tears away and he grabbed her hand to kiss it.
"Yes, it is…Brittany did this to you, she's been poisoning you for months" He informed and Jade stared at him shocked.
"What?" Jade asked.
"We discovered it because of the cameras we set to catch Evan" Tori informed and Jade started thinking about it.
"Oh my god" Jade said shocked. "I'm going to die because of that bitch" She said full of rage.
"Good news is that you won't die, Jade, we are not lying, they CAN save you" Beck affirmed.
"Are you serious?" Jade asked hopefully and they nodded so she smiled. "I'm not gonna die…"
"No, darling, you'll be okay and you won't have to see Brittany or Evan ever again" Mr. West informed and she looked at him surprised. "It'll be just us, they're going to jail"
"Jail? You'll put Brittany and Evan in jail because of me?" Jade questioned completely shocked. "But…I always thought you'd rather see me dead than to see Evan and Brittany in trouble, they're your life!"
"No, not anymore…You are my only daughter and therefore, YOU are my life" He affirmed and she stared at him not believing her eyes, she had always wanted to feel loved by her father. "Please forgive me, Jade, I know I don't deserve it but please forgive me" He said as he broke out crying into the sheets while she stared at him.
"It's okay, dad…I forgive you" Jade said sincerely and he turned to her so she gave him a little smile and he couldn't help to hug her. The gang was just staring at them gladly because Jade needed her father and he had finally realized the mistake he'd made.
They were hugging like never before, he was almost carrying her up a little because she had leaned forward to hug him. "I love you, honey" He said sincerely and Jade smiled before both of her arms fell back just when the monitor line went straight. "Jade?" He asked confused and broke the hug without removing his arms but Jade's head fell back as well so everyone stared at her terrified. "Jade? Jade, wake up!" He demanded but she wasn't conscious anymore.
"DOCTOR!" Tori immediately screamed out the door as Mr. West and Beck tried to wake Jade up but she had no pulse.
"Jade!" John screamed desperately because she was dead and he knew it.
"No, Jade, please, please don't die" Beck begged with tears in his eyes as well and Mr. West started crying his eyes out as he kissed her forehead and kept her lifeless body close to him. Suddenly, the doctor walked into the room with a machine and a few nurses.
"Please save her" John begged, they set Jade on the bed and started trying to bring her back to life.
"Out now" The nurse ordered and basically pushed them all out of Jade's room, then she proceeded to close the curtains and they lost visibility.
"No, god, no you can't take her away too, you can't take my kid, not again!" Mr. West said completely broken. "My baby…"
"She can't die, she can't" Beck affirmed but they'd seen her dead.
"Her heart stopped beating…" Tori said sadly as she wiped the tears off her face and hugged Cat, who was crying quietly.
A few minutes later the doctor came out of the room and they all immediately walked up to him. He was looking down so they were afraid he was going to tell them the worst of news and his silence just confirmed their theory.
"Her heart stopped" The doctor informed with a straight face and Mr. West started shaking his head.
"No, no, my little girl can't be dead" Mr. West said with lots of tears streaming down his face and the doctor shook his head.
"She isn't, we managed to bring her back…she did die for a few seconds, though" The doctor informed and they felt an unexplainable joy.
"Thank god" John said and sighed gratefully, he had never been so scared since the day Alexander had died.
Jade got better within a month and she was released from the hospital without any further consequence from the poison, Brittany and Evan were put in prison and Mr. West spent every day trying to make it up to Jade for all the things he'd done. He knew he needed to get over his issues so he decided to go to therapy so he would never unconsciously blame Jade for her brother's death, he loved her but he couldn't control his feelings at times so the therapy was necessary and he was hoping it would work.
Jade's furture had been put at a very high risk because of an unknown disease, which almost took life away from her but without realizing it, Brittany had given her everything she needed back and the only disease in her new life was the memory of how closed death had come.
