Jade had been moved into Cat's room the following day by the doctor. Both girls instantly felt better in each other's presence, despite their injuries. Robbie and Beck had barely left their girls sides. Apart from bathroom breaks and going to get food, they refused to move.
Cat was slowly beginning to get her bubbly personality back. With Jade in the same room and Robbie by her side, it was hard not to smile, and her giggles floated throughout the room every so often. For Jade though, it was a different story. She could barely even look at Cat and her broken and bruised body without guilt flooding her own body. She did that. She almost killed her best friend because she wasn't paying attention. She would never forgive herself.
Beck noticed that Jade had been quiet for a while, which was unlike her. "Hey," he whispered, getting her attention as she looked up at him from her bedsheets. He took her small hand in his own large one, "What's the matter?" he asked softly, his brown eyes full of concern.
She just shrugged in response, not really wanting to talk about it, but his stare broke her down and she sighed, "I just feel so guilty," she whispered, hoping Cat wouldn't hear.
His eyes saddened and he squeezed her hand, "Don't. It wasn't your fault, okay? Don't think like that."
She sighed and turned her head to look out of the window by her bed. It was still raining, and the clouds were thick and grey; mirroring her mood. "I just want to go home," she whispered wishfully.
Across the room, the atmosphere was very different. Robbie and Cat were talking quietly with each other, smiles spread across both of their faces, their hands joined together sweetly. "How do you feel?" Robbie asked, looking down at her broken leg in it's pink plaster cast.
She shrugged, "I'm okay. I wish I could go home though," she answered, looking out of the large window behind him.
He smiled softly, "You'll get to go home soon, I promise," he whispered, kissing her hand and making her smile.
"I'm glad you're here, Robbie," she said softly, her eyes meeting his behind his thick framed glasses.
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else," he replied sincerely, making her smile again and blush lightly.
Later that day, Cat was able to get out of bed and try her wheelchair out for the first time. They had given her a special pink one, which made her giggle and the situation seemed a little better. The guys had left to get food for them, and it was just Jade and Cat left in the room on their own. Cat wheeled herself over to Jade's bed and stopped just beside her best friend. She noticed that Jade seemed to be upset, so she slowly began to move her wheelchair back and forth comedically, looking up at her best friend with a raised eyebrow.
Jade looked down at Cat and couldn't help but laugh at her best friend's attempt to cheer her up, "You're weird," she chuckled, shaking her head.
Cat giggled and smiled triumphantly, "Hey, I rock... and roll..." she said, rolling her wheelchair far back before rolling forward again up to the edge of Jade's bed. Jade giggled and shook her head at her best friend's antics.
"So, you're not mad at me?" Jade asked a few moments later after their laughter had died down.
Cat frowned, "Why would I be mad at you, Jadey?" she asked confusedly, a frown appearing on her face.
"Because I caused the accident," Jade sighed, her eyes sad.
Cat reached out and took Jade's hand, "You didn't cause the accident. It was raining and it was dark, and lets be honest... my brother's car is kind of a chizzbox," she said.
Jade sighed, "I could have killed you and Tori."
"Well you didn't. I'm here... and I'm weird..." she smiled, rolling her wheelchair again and making Jade smile softly.
"I love you," Jade whispered.
Cat did her best not to gasp at Jade's words. That was a phrase Cat hadn't heard Jade say since they were nine years old, before Jade rebelled against the world. She had missed hearing it.
"I love you mostest," she replied just like used to when they were young, making both of them giggle.
"I hear giggles," Robbie called as he and Beck entered the room with food for them. They walked over to Jade's bed and placed the food on the small table that pulled out on her bed.
"Is everything... okay?" Beck asked as he sat down, referring to how Jade felt earlier on in the day.
The girls looked at each other before nodding and smiling, "We're good," Cat answered, her hand squeezing Jade's.
As they tucked into the food that the guys had brought from the hospital cafeteria, Jade turned to Beck and motioned for him to come closer. He leaned in towards her.
"Can I talk to you later?" she asked, biting her lip. He just smiled and nodded before sitting back in his chair.
Cat watched the exchange and regarded her best friend carefully as a small smile made it's way onto Cat's face. She knew exactly what was going to happen.
Later that night, Cat and Robbie were fast asleep on the opposite side of the room to Beck and Jade, who were still awake. Beck was sitting on the edge of Jade's bed and her good hand was joined with his.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Beck asked as his thumb ran over the back of her pale hand.
Jade sighed softly, "Us," she answered quietly.
Beck nodded, knowing that this had been coming, "You want to get back together," he guessed, looking down at her.
"No. Yes. Maybe. I don't..." she stuttered, but was cut off when Beck's lips brushed against hers lightly, making her heart skip a beat.
She stared up at him afterwards, unsure of what to think.
He just smiled down at her, "Lets just take it slow and we'll see what happens," he whispered.
Jade smiled and nodded, leaning up and pecking his lips sweetly and making him smile.
Things were finally looking up.
