That we'd escape from the ordinary

That we'd escape from the world that tied us down

That we'd escape from the ordinary

That we'd escape from the world that kept us apart

"Hello?" I asked, picking up my phone.

"Jade? You should come to the hospital." I reconized the voice to be Mrs. Oliver's.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"It's Beck. He uh...You should just come down."


"Mrs. Oliver, What is going on?" I asked, walking into the hospital.

"Honey, Beck...He tried to commit sucide."

My eyes widened, and my mouth dropped open. "WHAT? Why?"

"He forgot to take his pills, And he's been very depressed lately. If I were you I would go talk to him."

"Okay...I will." I turned to go find his room, when she grabbed my arm.

"But before you do, I think you should know, You shouldn't blame him for this. I know you've had a hard time lately, But honestly honey, You never really gave him a chance." I opened my mouth to object but she held up a finger to stop me. "Seriously Jade, Beck would make a wonderful father. Your daughter would be lucky to have him."

I sighed, "I'll go talk to him okay? Is he awake?"

"He's been waiting for you."


I knocked on his door, and opened it, smiling slighty. "Beck?"

"Here." He mumbled in response.

I walked in further to see Beck laying on a hospital bed, a clear rope burn around his neck.

"Oh my god, Beck!" I cried, rushing to his side."Beck, Are you okay?" I could feel the tears streaming down my face now, but i didn't stop to wipe them away.

"Why do you even care?" He rasped.

"Because Beck, You tried to kill yourself! Your the father of my child, the love of my life, Of course I care!" I said.

"The love of your life?"

I nodded, and took his hand. "Yes."

"Why did we even break up in the first place?"

"We argue too much."

He laughed, but it was more like a cough, "Yeah...We do."

"But were still the perfect couple!"

"Jade, I really wish you would let me prove to you that I could be a wonderful father to that little girl. I realized that I can't be happy without you in my life. Please let me prove to you...To her...-"

"Ophelia."

"What?"

"Her name is Ophelia, Ophelia Caterina West-Oliver."

"Ophelia. I like it."

"I named her after Ophelia from Hamlet."

"The play we first stared in together." Beck smiled, and my heart swelled with affection.

"Exactly."

"So Jade, Will you give me a chance? Will you left me prove to Ophelia and You that I can be the perfect boyfriend and father."

I nodded.

"You'll give me chance?" He asked, excited.

I nodded again.

"Oh Jade. Thank you!" He leaned forward to give me a hug, but instead I pecked him on the lips.

"I'll be back later honey." I leaned in and kissed him again before leaving to go talk to his mother.
