According to some of your reviews, you remembered what Sunday was. Were you correct? :)

Unbroken

Chapter Fourteen

I woke up early the next morning purposely. I was still confused on what was going to happen today, but I got ready early anyway. I just watched TV while I waited. I'm sure since everyone knew that I forgot, they'd come over or call me to remind me. But what could it be? I'm sure I wouldn't have forgotten if it were that important.

Suddenly, at around 11, my phone rang and I rushed to answer it, expecting it to be one of my friends.

"Beck! Get your butt down here to the hospital!" Tori exclaimed. The hospital? What was she doing there?

"Why are you there?" I inquired with a confused look.

"Jade," She replied simply. Before she could explain further, I ended the call and put my phone in my pocket. Grabbing my keys and turning off the TV, I headed out the door and to my car. I drove to the hospital as fast as I could, while still obeying the law. I think I ran a red light, though, but it's not my fault that yellow light changed so fast!

Once I arrived to the hospital, I got out of my car and entered the building. I looked around in the lobby, expecting to find my friends there. I only spotted Tori. Where was Jade and the others?

"Where is she?" I panted. I kind of ran from my car to the lobby. I mean, what if this were a life or death situation? I couldn't risk that!

Tori didn't say a word; instead, she led me up to the floor where everyone else was on. It was a quiet elevator ride, as she refused to speak until the others were present. I didn't even bother trying to get any information out of her, since I'd be getting all the information I needed to know soon enough. We found the others sitting in the waiting room.

"She's in the washroom," Cat clarified, as if she already knew my question.

"Why is she here? What's wrong with her?" I questioned, proving myself wrong that I didn't care about her anymore. The others smirked because they knew I was in denial the whole time.

"Dude, you know she has a checkup, right?" Andre chimed in. "You have to be here because you're technically in charge of her until her parents get back." Oh. Right. I feel like a complete idiot now. Wow. Great job, Beck.

"But hey, this proves us right," Tori shrugged. "You still care about her."

I plopped down on the seat next to Cat.

"I know," I sighed. "I just thought it would help to get over her."

"Well, it's not, so stop trying," Andre harshly told me. I couldn't blame him, though, because it was the truth.

"While she's in the washroom, we might as well tell you about Friday night," Robbie declared. Cat and Tori nodded.

"What did you guys do?" I inquired.

"Well, actually, we went to Citywalk," Cat said. "We went to go spy on Jadey's date." She played with her hair.

"But why?" I prompted.

"To make sure Ryder didn't pull an idiot move!" Tori answered in a matter-of-factly tone.

"Did he?" My voice was full of concern, proving once again, that I still cared about my ex-girlfriend.

"He yawned and put his arm around her in the middle of the movie," Andre explained. "If that counts as an idiot move." He shrugged. I supposed that Andre was already told this story, as he knew what happened and helped tell it.

"It is an idiot move," Robbie commented.

"You know it's an idiot move when even Robbie admits it is," Rex reckoned, making us all laugh.

"Hey, that's not nice, Rex!" Robbie countered.

"Are you new?" Rex retorted.

"We also found out why Jadey wasn't at school that day," Cat continued. "It's because—" Before she could finish her sentence, Jade entered the lobby, patting her skirt and tugging on the necklace that hung around her neck. I noticed that it was our matching necklace, accompanied with a white gold necklace that complemented a silver scissor charm. She must really like that ring necklace if she's wearing it without knowing the meaning behind it.

"Ugh," She rolled her eyes at the sight of me. "What is he doing here?" I hope she knows that I can clearly hear her. I think that was her intention, though.

"He has to be here, Jadey," Cat replied, with a soft voice. "He's still technically in charge of you."

"Cat," Jade said, eyeing Cat's hair. "Why'd you dye your hair red?" Wow, she noticed this now?

"Red velvet cupcakes!" Cat replied with a smile.

"Ah. So is it my turn to go in yet?" She asked.

"I think so," Andre answered. "Or just wait till the doctor comes to get you."

"Eh, I guess I'll wait," Jade decided, sitting on the chair farthest from me. She's making such a big deal about this. It's not like I threatened to kill her or anything!

We were the only ones in the waiting room, and it went silent. I had a feeling that they were waiting for me and Jade to say something to each other.

"I'm not talking to him, just so you know," Jade clarified, crossing her arms.

"You're going to have to talk to him eventually," Tori pointed out.

"But not now," She scoffed.

I kept quiet. I knew how mad Jade could get. Usually her anger wasn't towards me, but it happened every once in a while.

"Jade, you can come in now," Doctor Collins approached us and motioned for Jade to follow her. "Beck, you can come too."

Jade groaned, and so did I. I exchanged looks with my friends, and their looks were all encouraging.

"If I get injured, it's all on you." I whispered through gritted teeth, before I followed the two to another room.

"At least we're at the hospital," Rex remarked. I would've given him a glare, but they were already out of my view.

Once we entered the doctor's office, Jade was advised to sit on the bed. I sat on the chair opposite the bed. We avoided each other's glances.

"So, Beck," Doctor Collins began. "How's Jade been doing?"

"I think you should ask her yourself," I sighed. Did the doctor have to know that I haven't been watching Jade for the past few days?

"Doctor, I don't feel comfortable with him being in the room while I get my check up," Jade stated.

Doctor Collins turned to me and sincerely gestured for me to return to the waiting room. I happily obliged. Maybe now the others can tell me the rest of the story they were telling me about earlier.

"Hey, why are you back?" Andre inquired.

"Jade requested that I not be in the room," I shrugged it off. "So why wasn't she at school on Friday?"

"She took the whole day to get ready for her date," Robbie answered simply. She took the whole day just to prepare for her date with Ryder Daniels? Really? That seems so unrealistic of her. I mean, I know she takes forever to get ready, as the majority of girls do, but the whole day just doesn't seem reasonable.

"I think it's because she's really into Ryder," Cat suggested. "I hear that she's going on a date with him again Tuesday night."

I face palmed.

"Who told you this?" I quizzed.

"Jadey."

"Did she see you guys on her date?" I questioned.

"Nope," Robbie answered. "Ryder almost did though."

"We were wearing disguises but Robbie's didn't help very much," Tori explained.

"I was Ariel!" Cat beamed. "Y'know, the mermaid!"

"She wore a mermaid style dress," Tori added. Oh, Cat. "But anyway, if I were you, I'd be getting worried."

"Why would I be worried?" I scoffed.

"If you ever want Jade back, you're going to have to start working even harder now," Andre insisted. "She's getting really into Ryder, and that is not a good thing. And because of that incident you had with Ryder, he's going to be flaunting her in your face if they ever get together, which is a huge possibility right now."

"I don't know…" My voice trailed off. "I mean, I can't deny it anymore, I still love Jade, but shouldn't I just let her go? Let both of us move on?"

"Forget that cliché chiz," Cat advised. "If you really love Jadey, Beck, you can't give up on her. Fight for her love."

"Also, you really hate Ryder," Robbie added. "So getting revenge on him is just a bonus! You're killing two birds with one stone, basically."

"I'm still not sure," I sighed.

"Listen to us, Beck," Andre reckoned. "We're your best friends, although we can't compete with Jade, but that's not the point. Anyway, yeah, we're your best friends, and as best friends, we want what's best for you. You're obviously really devastated about this, and you're not acting like yourself. You're a wreck. You're a wreck because you miss Jade terribly. Both of you were at your best when you were together."

"Remember when we told you that Jade's less scary when she's with you?" Robbie pointed out. "I miss that Jade. And I miss the Beck that was always so calm and would never lose it and get into fights."

"Come on, Beck, you have to listen to us," Tori claimed. "She needs us with her right now, no matter how different she's been behaving and no matter the lack of time she's been spending with us. She needs us to help her through her recovery. She needs you, especially."

"Maybe staying with Jade in the doctor's office and getting glared to death wasn't such a bad idea," I thought aloud.

"Beck!" They all whined.

"What?!" I said defensively.

"What happened to the Beck that was so determined to win Jade back? Where did that determination go?" Andre replied.

"I lost it," I sighed. "I don't have determination or motivation to win her back anymore. I told you guys, I gave up on her."

"We all know you don't mean that," Rex chimed in.

"See! Even the puppet knows you're in denial," Andre pointed out.

"I'm not a puppet!" Rex countered.

"Oops, sorry, Rex," Andre apologized.

"Come on, you know you wanna spy on her next date," Tori assumed. I couldn't say she was wrong.

I sighed.

"You do wanna spy on her!" Cat decided.

"Even if I did, it's not like it's going to change anything," I pointed out.

"But then you'll be able to see how Ryder treats her so you can get all angry," Robbie offered. "I think it'll give you your determination back."

"I'll think about it," I finally concluded.

"Tuesday," Andre reminded me.

"Tuesday," I confirmed. I still wasn't sure if I wanted to get back with her. I mean, I knew I was in denial, but wasn't everyone in denial after a breakup?

"We see the way you look at her," Andre informed me, as if he knew what I was thinking.

I shrugged.

Doctor Collins returned to the waiting room and called me back into the doctor's office. Jade was still in there, but she seemed less annoyed than she was when I was present earlier.

"Jade's been recovering at a good pace," Doctor Collins stated. "Just continue to keep her in her routine and she should be back to normal in no time. If there are any problems regarding her recovery, just give me a call and we'll make an appointment for her to come back here." I assumed Jade hadn't told her that I haven't been properly taking care of her for the past few days. I didn't think it mattered.

"Thanks doctor," I let out a friendly smile.

"No problem, kid," She replied. "You're free to go."

I walked out of the room and headed towards the waiting room, but I stopped before I turned the corner. Jade was following me and hadn't realized me stopping, so she bumped into me. When she noticed what happened, she pushed me away from her.

"Watch where you're going," She hissed, fixing her hair.

"You're the one who bumped into me," I reminded her.

"Whatever." She rolled her eyes.

"Look, I'm sorry for being so protective of you," I apologized, honesty dripping in my voice. I'd rather her still be my best friend than her hating me for the rest of our lives. "It's just that your parents expect me to take care of you so when they come back, it's like you never lost your memory in the first place."

She sighed, trying to avoid my gaze, but she failed.

"Apology accepted. I made such a big deal about it, too, so I'm sorry." She replied. "I don't think I could ever stay mad at you for long."

"You never have," I laughed at the memories. "So… best friends?" I looked at her sincerely.

"Best friends," She confirmed, letting out a soft smile. She hugged me even though I didn't request one. Surprised at the touch, I wrapped my arms around her and she placed her head on my chest. It was almost like old times. After this little interaction with Jade, I was finally certain that I was going to try to win her back. It didn't matter how long it was going to take, it didn't matter that Ryder was in the way, I just knew that I was going to win her back.

Beck and Jade are on good terms now! Yay! But will they stay that way for long? Hm. You never know what I have up my sleeve. ;)
