So it's been a while hasn't it and I'm sorry for how long it took me to write this. A lot of stuff happened and I seriously couldn't write anything. And I'm still finding it hard to do so now, but I had to write this chapter eventually. Thanks for all your reviews for the last chapter and for everyone who has favorited and followed this story. It really means a lot to me. Anyways enjoy this chapter.

(Lizzie's POV)

My gaze moved over to the man sitting in the armchair, talking in hushed voices on his phone. Tori's dad had been very adamant of seeing his daughter first, but just by one look on Jade's face I knew that she was breaking on the inside at the thought of not being able to know if Tori was okay. I didn't like what I had done, but I had to make sure Jade was the first person to see Tori. So I said the first thing that popped into my head.

"Where have you been for the last four years!"

By that one statement I saw all of the fierce protectiveness leave his eyes and instead was replaced with guilt and sorrow. He backed off then, and he hasn't said anything to us in about an hour. The entire time that Jade has been in Tori's room. My leg started to bounce up and down from nerves. Except I wasn't exactly sure what I was more nervous from, the fact that Tori was in a hospital room after almost committing suicide, Jade was a broken mess because the girl she loved was in hospital, and I should already be in Chicago right now on my way to my Father's apartment. I sighed heavily and tangled my fingers together. I didn't have no pencils or paper to draw with and I could feel my composure being to crack. But this wasn't the time for me to have one of my breakdowns, I had to be strong.

I could feel my phone begin to vibrate in my pocket, but I didn't see the point in checking who was calling me. I knew who it was, but I couldn't bring myself to answer I tried to swallow the lump that formed in my is the fourth time that he's called, and a part of me knows the consequences that will happen if I ignore him any more. I closed my eyes tightly and just felt the continuous vibration of my phone.

I felt a hand place themselves on my knee, and I opened my eyes to see Cat staring at me with a concerned expression on her face. I nodded quickly, but I knew by the look on her face that she didn't believe me.

"You're tense" She told me. "Every time your phone goes off, you go all tense" I dropped my gaze down to my hands ashamed of how easy she can tell what I'm thinking. "Is it him?" She asked but I didn't answer, she already knew. Her small hands covered my own and she squeezed them reassuringly. I looked up at her again and this time I noticed the dark circles under her eyes.

"Have you slept at all?" I asked her, we had been here for hours waiting for Tori and I know I managed to sleep for a couple of hours.

"I've tried but you know I can't" She said softly and I understood what she was saying. For as long as I've known Cat she could only sleep in only a couple of houses, her own, Jades and Toris.I wrapped my arm around her shoulders as she snuggled into my side. It was not an uncommon thing for me and Cat to be in this position, but this time felt different. There was butterflies erupting in my stomach at the close contact. I have accepted my feelings for her a long time, so I have gotten use to these feelings but none this strongly.

"I can drop you off at your home if you want to" I offered even though I already knew what she would say. I felt her head shake on my shoulder.

"Not until I know Jade and Tori are okay" She paused for a second before continuing "I told Jade about you and your Dad" My body tensed up when she said that and it became a struggle to breathe.

"What?" My voice sounded strangled and throat began to feel like it was closing up.I had to get out of here.

"Lizzie don't be mad. But I had to"

I felt as if the room was closing in and I was trapped inside of it. I had to get out. I need to be able to breathe.

"Lizzie?" My breath came out in short gasps. I stood up and I felt my chest tighten. I need to get out. My feet were moving before I realized they were. I didn't know where I was going I just needed to be able to breathe again. I couldn't hear anything but the blood pounding in my ears.

Once I felt the sunlight hit my eyes, I didn't feel so trapped any more. I placed my hands on my knees and bent over slightly. I could feel my head begin to clear up. I can't believe that Cat mentioned it, even though I've told her countless times before that I had the situation under control. And know she's gone along and told Jade.

What was going to happen to me now? JAde will have to tell Mom about what's been happening to me over these past few years and she would refuse to send me off to live with him. And just like he promised he would bring in his lawyers. Lawyers that he can afford and that Mom can't.

And it'll be all my fault.

(Jade's POV)

There was literally nothing better then the sound of Tori's laughter echoeing around the room and literally nothing else like it and it made my heart lift when I hear it. It feels like since forever since I heard it last. God it was so refreshing. I could listen to it forever. This is what it should be between the two of us, me making Tori laugh. The two of us being happy. Maybe we could stilll have that.

And just like that, the reality of the situation hit me. The reason why Tori was in the hospital, Lizzie, the fact that Tori's Dad is in here waiting to see Tori. I swallowed heavily and squeezed Tori's hand softly.

"Tori, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. But just so you know, your Dad is here" I said softly. Her hand clutched onto mine and her eyes widened.

"He's here?" She whispered and I nodded.

"He's been here since you were brought in" Her eyes brimmed with tears and I kissed her hand. "If you don't want to see him, it's perfectly fine. I'll tell him to go"

She shook her head but didn't say anything and I didn't say anything to her. This was something that Tori had to decide on her own, and I'll support her with whatever decision she makes. We sat there in silence, I wasn't going to say anything till she said something.

"Jade, I want to see him. I need to see him" She said and I nodded stroking my thumb over the back of her hand, giving her a reassuring smile.

"Do you want me to go get him?" I asked, but she gripped my hand tighter shaking her head.

"Please don't leave" She pleaded.

"Never" I leant forward and placed a gentle kiss to her forehead before pulling my phone out to send a quick text to Beck.

Jade- Any chance you can send Tori's Dad here

It didn't take long for Beck to text me back.

Beck- On his way, is Tori okay?

Jade- She's fine right now

I shoved my phone back into my pocket and turned my attention back onto Tori.

"He's coming round, want me to stay with you?" I asked and all she could do was nod back before the door opened and her Dad poked his head round the door before stepping fully inside.

"Hey Tori" He said rubbing the back of his neck. The grip on my hand tightened even more and I covered it with my other hand. Reminding her that I was there for throughout all of it. She never said anything in reply just stared at the man. "I guess I have a lot of explaining to do"

So what did you guys think? I'll try and be a lot quicker with the next chapter and not two months like I did with this one. The next chapter will be a whole lot on Tori and her Dad. Also what do you guys think about Lizzie in this chapter? Please review and I'll see you all in the next one.
