Tragedy

Jade and Harmony's father were out of surgery fifteen long hours later. Beck instantly went up to the doctor "how does it look?" Beck asked concerned.

"Well we're actually worried that the amnesia may not wear off."

"What?" Beck asked now alarmed "what does that mean?"

"Well some people don't respond well to amnesia, as in they don't wake up."

"For how long?"

"Forever," the doctor said gravely.

"But that's not likely right?"

"We're not sure right now," the doctor said. "I'll go check on her right now she should be waking up in anywhere from ten minutes to ten hours."

"What did they say?" Johnny asked coming out from Jade's room.

"That she may not wake up from the amnesia."

"How long until we know?"

"He said its normal for people to wake up even as late as ten hours later but after that the chances of her not waking up go up."

"Hello Johnny," Jade's mother said walking into her new husband's room.

Johnny followed her with malice intents and left Beck alone with Jade. He sat in a chair and the hours crept by slowly.

"Sitting here not getting any sleep won't help her you know," a small voice said. Harmony walked into the room with him. "Here," she said walking over and laying a blanket over Beck.

"Why are you here?" he asked obviously untrusting.

"Jade's my sister, I was worried about her. Don't worry I won't do anything," she told him sitting down next to him.

"Forgive me if I find it hard to believe that," he said sitting at the other side of the couch.

"I understand," she said staring over at Jade's body. "Beck she'll be ok won't she?"

Beck didn't answer and the question hung in the air.

Three months later Jade still wasn't awake. At first everyone had been nice to Beck saying 'I'm so sorry' and 'I'm sure she'll get better.' But that had quickly faded. Especially since Beck was one of the hottest guys at Hollywood Arts and he'd never been single before, except the few days during Beck and Jade's minibreak-up.

After two weeks he started getting asked out again and he was not happy about it at all. He didn't want to go out with anyone but Jade. Plus they hadn't really broken up so it was like cheating, wasn't it? Beck thought so.

So Beck walked Hollywood Arts alone. During some lunches he sat underneath Jade's scissor covered locker. He missed her more than he could describe and didn't know how to make the pain go away. When he showered he tried not to look at the mirror so he didn't see his "Jade" tattoo of his half of their yin yang symbol.

"Beck," Tori snapped at him snapping her fingers in front of his face.

"Hm?" he asked looking up trying to concentrate.

"Cat was asking you if you would help her with one of her assignments."

"Oh when?" he asked.

"Saturday," Cat told him.

"I can't," he said guilt multiplying in his stomach and making him nauseous all over again.

"Why not?" Cat asked sad.

"I um," he ran his fingers threw his hair again in stress. "I have a date," he whispered.

"What?" Andre questioned. "With who?"

"Look Beck moping around isn't going to make you feel any better. You need to get out go on a date. I'll be your first date, Jade and I are sisters so it'll be easy since we're kinda similar. It'll help you move on."

"I don't know," Beck said scratching the back of his head his betraying eyes glancing at his tattoo.

"It'll be simple ok, we'll just go to a movie, we can get popcorn and hold hands. Then at the end of the night I'll kiss your cheek and thank you for a wonderful night. It'll be textbook."

He bit his lip and fingered the ring around his neck. "It'd be like cheating though," he protested.

"She's not here for you to tell. She may not even be here with us anymore," Harmony said sounding just as sad and upset as he was.

He clenched his eyes closed at the thought of his beautiful vibrant dark goddess being dead. "Ok I guess that'd be ok."

"Me," Harmony said scooting closer to him at the table and lightly holding his hand.

"Dude you're sick," Rex said. "You can't date the sister of your girlfriend." Beck's eyes were pained again as he thought of cheating on Jade.

"It isn't cheating," Harmony said venomously to everyone at the table. "If Jade was here Beck would be with her but she's not and that means he can't even break up with her. It's not fair for Beck to never date anyone ever again on the off chance that in fifty years Jade may wake up."

"You're just an opportunist!" Tori yelled at Harmony.

"A what?" Cat asked.

"An opportunist is someone who takes advantage of a situation."

"Oh," Cat said.

"Anyways I'm just a gate girl."

"And what is that?" Cat asked.

"I'm just the person he goes on a date with to open his mind up to the world of dating again."

"I'm sure you are," Tori said. "Anyways Andre and I are spending our Saturday at the hospital. If Jade wakes up we'll be sure to tell her you're on a date." Tori snapped getting up and stomping away.

"Hey man," Andre said putting his hand on his friend's shoulder. "She didn't mean that, she's just upset."

Beck nodded but didn't say anything else.
