Chapter twenty-six.

To the guest who thinks I'm turning this into a Bat instead of Bade, I'm sorry! D: The reason why Beck and Cat didn't go was because they can't leave the hospital due to being patients so that's the only reason they've ended up together this time round. Sorry if you had that impression…:/ -ChasingMidnight.

The place was trashed, a new floor layer made up of papers and broken furniture. The piano was covered in empty boxes. The kitchen looked like a bomb had gone off. There were papers littered across the sofas.

"What happened to my house?" Trina cried out. "How could she throw a house party without me?"

"This isn't a house party…" Jade commented.

"Someone broke in?" Robbie suggested.

Jade shot the idea down. "I doubt it; they would have taken the TV and busted the lock."

André stared at the mass destruction that had happened. He couldn't move. Where was Tori?

"Tori!" Jade shouted continuously as she was the first to come to life after Trina's outburst.

Trina began shouting random insults all directed at Tori and her 'weird' friends being in the same room as her. Robbie started picking things off the floor and trying to tidy the place a little in case Tori was hurt, it kept his mind off it. He thought about Cat and how she always had the glint in her eyes no matter what. André still stood there. His legs refused to take one more step into the war zone. He had to find Tori; he shouldn't have let her come home alone, not with what had happened recently. His heart pounded his rib cage rattling it like a trapped song bird trying to break free.

"I'll go check upstairs," Jade announced. "André go look in the garden."

He suddenly awoke and looked at Jade.

"Go on then."

"Oh," André nodded and set towards the stairs.

Jade wished she could point out that she wasn't being cruel for no reason but to keep him going instead of stopping and never starting again like she did in the time she didn't have Beck by her side. You can't let yourself stop living because no matter what, life doesn't stop with you instead it drags you along behind waiting until you bring yourself back to your feet and walk alongside it again.

She ran towards the stairs. Once she'd made it, she pushed every door open as she passed quickly scoping each one before running to the next. Jade swore if this was just a prank she would turn Tori into a pillow case or something else creatively painful.

That was when she braced herself for Tori's room; she kicked the door open with her foot as she took a deep breath. What would she find? She hoped Tori would be okay. She couldn't deal with another pool of blood especially from someone she was close to. Not that she would ever admit it to Tori, Jade did quite like having her around to wind up and even, sometimes, perform with.

She searched frantically around the room, throwing various items out of the way; she checked the wardrobe, under the bed even behind the desk. She couldn't bear to go to go down stairs to tell the guys she couldn't find her. She double checked all of the room again. She took another deep breath.

"Jade! Jade! We've found her! We've found her!" Robbie's voice floated into the room.

Jade sprinted back down the stairs then stopped dead at the foot of the stairs.

…

The nurse had promptly tried taken Beck back to his room after Jade and Robbie left. Cat had asked him to read a bed time story to her being as Robbie couldn't so the nurse had allowed them ten more minutes. Cat had already found the book she wanted; it was a child's book of Cinderella.

"Are you sure you want this?" Beck frowned. "You've already had Cinderella an awful lot recently…"

"No," Cat cut in. "I like it."

Beck nodded and opened the book.

"There was once a beautiful girl named Cinderella who lived with her father, step-mother and two ugly step-sisters. They were mean to Cinderella and made her sleep in the kitchen…"

Cat shook his arm. "Go to the ball instead. I don't want the bad parts, not tonight."

Beck complied. He knew Tori would be playing on Cat's mind as well as Robbie not being with her.

"Cinderella arrived at the ball and no one in all of the land had ever seen someone so beautiful. They all muttered to one another 'She must be a princess from another kingdom; I have never laid eyes on such beauty!' The prince realised all of the subjects had stopped dancing so he followed their gazes and found the most beautiful girl in the world. He walked straight up to her and asked her to dance. For that night, the prince truly felt that he held heaven in his arms," Beck noticed Cat's lack of interest and stared at her. "What's wrong, Kitten?"

"Do you think Robbie feels that way about me?"

Beck knitted his eyebrows together. "Of course, he looks at you like you're an angel that fell from the sky."

Cat smiled faintly. "I'm really happy with him, Beck."

"I know you are. Even before you told me you were in love with him, I knew."

Cat's cheeks blushed boldly. "You did? Do you think he knew?"

"Robbie was about as oblivious as you were, Kitten. But you're together."

"Yeah, I have my prince Charming. I'm really lucky."

Beck was really happy for Cat. "You sure are, Kitten. But if Robbie ever upsets you, I'll be after him."

Cat laughed at his comment. Then her smile settled.

"Do you feel that way about Jade?"

"What way?"

"Like you're holding heaven?"

Beck smiled and shook his head. Cat's expression dropped she looked like the child that had just been told Christmas was cancelled.

"What do you mean?" Cat gasped.

Beck chuckled lightly. "I feel like I have more than that, I have the world in my arms with Jade. Every single emotion possible, every single feeling, each flickering sensation, I have it there with Jade."

Cat grinned again. "That's really sweet, Beck."

"It's the truth."

"I'm glad you and Jade are okay again, I mean it."

Beck closed the book; it was obvious they wouldn't be reading anymore.

"I can tell you're not as strange with me. Talking in riddles all the time…"

Cat scrunched her mouth up. "I didn't mean to, Jade told me she was still in love with you and you were telling me that as well. I felt like the middle man."

The nurse barged through the door.

"Bed time story over with?" She asked.

Beck's phone began ringing. The nurse sighed and walked back out, chuntering under her breath about teenagers and phones.

He answered it.

"Hey babe, everything okay?"

His face slowly sank.

"What? What's wrong?" Cat shook his arm. "Please tell me Robbie's okay. It's not Jade is it?"
