Chapter 25

"I want to see Beck," Cat stated as they left the hospital. "Maybe he came home today."

"Cat, we go by there every day. He's not there," André explained.

"So? Either take me to go see Beck or take me to get some Bibble!"

"Let's go to Beck's," Tori said.

"Yeah. I don't think Cat should have anymore Bibble," André added.

"But I like Bibble," Cat stated.

"No Bibble! Do you want your parents to rehire Oliver?" Tori asked.

Cat shook her head. "I wasn't that addicted," she muttered. "That's Beck's car! I can see it!"

"She's right," Tori said. "That is Beck's car."

"Drive faster, André, faster!"

"Alright! Chill out, Little Red!"

"Faster!" Cat shouted again.

"Cat, we're here. We can't go any faster," Tori said.

Cat jumped out of the car and barged into Beck's trailer. She found him lying on the couch, holding a pocketknife.

"Beck, what are you doing with that?" Cat asked softly. Seeing him hold that object scared her.

"It's Jade's," he whispered. "Was Jade's. I just don't understand and I don't think I ever will."

"Where have you been?" she asked.

Tori and André entered the RV, surprised but happy to see Beck back. But why?

"You're back," Tori said.

"I got in earlier today," Beck replied. "About an hour or so ago."

"Where have you been?" Cat shouted at him, unable to contain her anger any longer. Beck didn't tell anyone where he went. He didn't just hurt Jade; he had hurt his friends too.

"Away. I had to."

"You've got to go see Jade, Beck. She's miserable without you," Tori stated.

"No."

"Beck! This is Jade we're talking about it!" Cat screamed. "She loves you and she thinks you hate her and want nothing to do with her! It's not just hurting her! It's hurting me to see Jade like that! She's my best friend!"

"I know but I don't want you telling her I'm back. I've been talking to Dr. Delphin, her psychiatrist, and she's finally starting to get better. I don't want to risk that if she thinks I'm back. I know it sounds like I'm being harsh but that's what she needs now. Dr. Delphin said if she stays on the path she's on, she'll probably be out in the next week or two."

"Really?" she asked.

"I know what I did was harsh but it's helping her and in the end, that's what we wanted for her: to get better. Dr. Delphin asked me to step back with my visits because she noticed that Jade would talk more openly with me and she needed Jade to open up on her own. I can't solve Jade's problems. None of us can. She has to. She's the one who's got to do it."

"So you did this to help her?" André asked.

Beck nodded his head. "She needed help. We just couldn't give it to her. I couldn't give it to her. She's getting better there and she's doing it because I'm not there. The best thing I could do was leave her for a little while."

"That's so mean!" Cat shouted.

"Beck was right though; it was helping her," André pointed out.

"Beck, if you don't see Jade, I will tell her that you're here. I really will. It's not fair to her that you're doing this," Cat said.

"I'm not trying to hurt her. I want her to get better," Beck said.

"Are you sure?" she asked, sniffling.

Cat grabbed a pen off Beck's floor, grabbed his wrist, and starting drawing on it. Beck looked down at his wrist and realized Cat had drawn a butterfly on him and put Jade's name under it. He wanted to see Jade; he honestly did.

"Jade's got them on her arm too. We all drew them, even on us, so she can see that we're supporting her. Stop hurting her, okay?"

"I'm not trying to hurt her, Cat. You know I care the world about Jade. That's why she's there."

"She doesn't think that though. She won't say it out loud to you guys but I know what she's feeling. You can't see how much it's hurting-"

"Cat, we were there. We know she's hurting over this. But she looks like she's getting better," Tori tried to explain.

Cat only shook her head. "I am going to see her tomorrow at four when visitations start, and if you're not there, I'm telling her everything."

Everyone looked surprised at the fact that Cat had pretty much just threatened Beck before walking out of the RV.

"Cat! Where are you going?" André called after her.

"To get some Bibble!" she shouted.

André threw his hands in the air; Tori just shook her head.

"We better go stop her," Tori asked.

"Yeah. I don't want to break up another fight between Oliver and Grandma," André added.

"No you do not. Go get Cat. I want to talk to Beck for a few minutes."

André nodded his head and left the RV, leaving Tori and Beck alone.

"Tori, I know what I did was bad," Beck stated, just to stop the awkward silence that was filling up.

"I don't think it was though. Maybe in the manner in which you did it but Cat's right: you need to see Jade. She's changed, Beck. You not being there did a lot for her, in a good way. Go see her. She asks about you."

Beck nodded his head and smiled at Tori. She smiled back and went to go help André with Cat. They were all right though: he did need to see Jade. Or wanted to at least. But it couldn't be what he wanted. He needed to do what was better for Jade. He didn't want to set her back if she was finally starting to recover. He grabbed his cell phone off the couch and scrolled down to Dr. Delphin's number.

"Is it at all possible to come see Jade tomorrow?"
