Cool water splashed on her face as Jade stood in their bathroom alone, their bathroom. No matter what life they had left behind the new one they had made here was better then anything else in the world and now everything just hurt. If pain was a flavor she'd have 31 flavors ice cream beat, it felt like her heart was beating against her ribs and would soon explode. In the past she thought she would feel this way when she broke up with Beck, had almost felt like this when he rejected her after the first time they did break up but this was a million times worse. This life was new, this life was amazing and whenever they did get married she was going to suggest staying her for good, they would both get their GED and maybe she'd fly back to do the other two movies but only as Mrs Shapiro. Now that was all gone and she just wanted to scream, worse she wanted to die if only to make this pain stop. Looking up at herself in the mirror she hated what she had become if only because she never thought Robbie would be the one to make her feel this way. A new feeling bubbled up with the pain, pure rage, she hated him as much as she loved him, how could he do this to her? Checking her watch she noted that she had sent Beck the text two hours ago, even if they left right away it would take at least a half a day for them to get here, she had to do something to get her Robbie back even if it was just another alter. This was stronger then Beck, stronger then Matthew, she would not just sit back and let him go. More water on her face to clean up and then straightening her ring before Jade turned and stomped back out into the bedroom.

Robbie was still asleep when she climbed onto the bed and made her way to him, leaning close she captured his lips with her own and for a brief moment she could feel her Robbie kissing her back. His eyes opened and his hands went to her shoulders gently pushing her back.

"No Jade, I cant" but she twisted out of his grasp and kissed his cheek and the corner of his mouth.

"No Robbie, I cant. I cant lose you I cant lose what we have. For the longest time after Beck I thought that I wasn't supposed to feel love. I wouldn't let myself fall in love but you broke that wall down, you made me happy. There is no after this, I will not survive after you," she sat back and held up her left hand showing him the ring. "What if you came back after this, after our wedding? Would you just back off and leave me, could you do that to me?" She was angry at herself because she was crying again and that sucked.

"I don't, I don't know Jade, I wont lie and tell you I've never felt anything for you, maybe everything Matthew ever said about you came off on me but I love Tori," she slapped him.

"Do not say her name in front of me." she spat out before climbing off the bed and starting to shove some of her clothes into a bag.

"Wait Jade, where are you going?"

"Fuck you Robbie, I'm leaving. I'm going back home and going to try to forget you and everything we were," she stormed over to the door and yanked it open glaring daggers down at him before taking one of his crutches and smashing it against the wall, breaking it into pieces. That felt good and the shock on Robbie's face actually made Jade smile as she left. Over the past few weeks they had pooled their money and bought a little car which Jade threw her stuff into the back seat and peeled out.

Sitting up on the bed Robbie wanted to go after her, run after her but thanks to Jade's display against the crutches there was no way that was possible. Spinning so his feet were on the ground Robbie grit his teeth as he tried to stand and made it up a little before falling back down onto the bed. There was a time when he believed he would never walk again but no, with Jade's help, he could probably walk down the aisle with her. Why couldn't he remember anything at all, what alter would block all this out? Which would fuck him up so badly? Moving over to where his phone was he opened it up and looked at the past few text messages. All of them were from Jade and a few people he didn't know, reading the Jade texts hurt something deep within. From these few things he could tell that she loved him. He was so screwed, maybe Tori had moved on from him and he should try to repair things with Jade, a small smile crossed his lips as he wondered if Jade and Tori could share. Knowing both girls though meant that they could not and he would have to decide, the one truth was that whoever this new alter was, it was trying to ruin his life. Closing his eyes he thought of the Bible in the dresser and went to get it out, it was heavier then normal Bibles. Opening it up he saw why, the heavy frame of a revolver resting inside.

"You should just put it against your temple and pull the trigger," came a voice from behind him. He turned and saw himself standing there but not a reflection, it was him from before. A curly fro, glasses, no tattoos or anything him as if none of this insanity ever happened, "Solves everything wont it? Jade wont have you anymore but she'd be able to accept it, maybe she'll become close to the gang again. Tori, if she hasn't moved on she will, like you well like I once said it was just a high school crush not real. I figure Andre will comfort her, maybe they'll hook up. Cat is Jade's best friend and she will console her, Beck will follow. Your parents would be able to not worry what you're doing and Shannon could go back to school."

"What are you?"

"I am the darkness inside you, the evil that drove Matthew and Jade, that helped Trickster take over and run away, that gave Henry so much power he almost killed you. I only want what's best for you but if you look at everything logically the best thing for you and everyone else, is if you were dead."

"Stop that, shut up," Robbie yelled at him.

"Not like you're going to remember any of this, when I'm in charge you never do."

"Wait, you're in charge?" That's when Robbie looked down at his hands and realized they were see through. Looking up at the darkness he saw that the darkness was standing there, on a single crutch the darkness seemingly coming out of him like a mist, curling around his feet until he became the Robbie that Robbie looked like today. The real Robbie felt the way he had when Henry was in control and it was a feeling worse then when he hurt Tori, worse then when he hurt Jade. It was a feeling of helplessness he always thought he could avoid. Standing up from the bed and walking over to the darkness he tried to choke him like he had Henry and failed.

"I'm done now Robbie," the darkness said walking over to the nightstand and opening up the drawer. Robbie could only watch as he picked up the Bible, opened it and removed the gun. Before he could cry out the darkness put the gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger. Robbie cringed at the sight and felt relieved at the sound of the click of the hammer hitting an empty chamber. Slowly withdrawing the gun while laughing the darkness turned back to Robbie, who was now standing in front of the door. Opening the chamber he made sure there was a bullet in there before spinning the chamber, with a flick it snapped shut and he placed it against his temple, "Wanna see if I got the right chamber this time?" he asked with an evil glint in his eyes, but a moment before he could pull the trigger the door burst open revealing a very angry Jade. The anger drained from her eyes once she saw the position that Robbie was in and she rushed forward tackling him.

"God Robbie, don't do it, I forgive you," she cried out trying to wrestle the gun from his hand. It was fun teasing Robbie before but the was ridiculous, it was time for Robbie to die. Growling he pushed her back a little getting his foot up between them before throwing her back. It surprised her enough to let go but Robbie was joking as she crashed into the dresser and the TV causing it to tip and fall over onto her. Now she was angry as well so after pushing the TV aside she started towards him again, stopping suddenly as he raised the gun so it was leveled at her, pulling himself up again.

"There's only one bullet I was hoping to deliver it to Robbie alone and would hate for this to end up in you," he sneered.

"So you are a new alter," she stated and he simply shrugged.

"Yeah I guess so and as fun as it was to pretend to be in love with you but that time has pass. Leave now Jade, let me deal with him myself, because deep down you know the truth he would have never loved you. Abandon him like everyone else has done to you, leave him like Beck left you, like Matthew, like your father."

Something deep within Jade snapped as she charged him, maybe a part of her believed that Robbie wouldn't fire on her, however this wasn't Robbie and the darkness pulled the trigger again. And received another hollow click.

"Fuck this," he shouted as Jade came crashing into him, as he fell he felt her punch him low, in the left leg. After weeks of getting better the nerve endings had healed and it hurt, a lot. He screamed almost letting go of the gun, bitting his lip so hard it started to bleed. Lifting his left hand to punch the back of her head he screamed again as she bit down into his pec.

"Jade, stop it please," he cried out, then softer, "He's gone Jade, it's me Robbie I'm sorry."

Sitting up she wiped his blood from her mouth and smiled but only for a moment as the darkness smashed the butt of the gun across her face sending her down and knocking her out. Pulling the rest of him out from under her he climbed back onto the bed and just sat there as the pain throbbed through him. With a shaky hand he opened the chamber and set the bullet to be in the correct chamber, snapping it close. Lifting it to his temple he closed his eyes and tried to squeeze the trigger but couldn't.

"I wont let you do it," screamed Robbie as he tried to prevent the darkness from pulling the trigger.

"You don't have the strength to stop me," he snarled out and Robbie knew he was right, eventually it would happen but not now. He roared and felt himself losing it when suddenly he felt a little more strength in his body, looking around he saw Clayton, R, Matthew and Travis standing around him. Robbie smiled looking over at everyone then back at the darkness but his smile fell when he saw all three of the girls in his life, a darkness surrounding all of them, Jade, Tori and Stephanie, even Henry was on his side but he knew that that alter was dead and gone and never coming back but he understood what the darkness was trying to do. The struggle continued so much that they didn't hear the car screeching up into the hotel parking lot, didn't hear the the people stomping up the stairs nor the sound of someone slamming into the door. It was hit so hard that the door almost came off the hinges, the darkness looked up in annoyance, how the hell did they know where he was already?

Looking at Robbie and his gang he snarled.

"You're better off dead!" he screamed and that alerted Beck that Robbie was inside that room, with a swift yet powerful kick the door smashed open revealing an angry Beck and a startled Tori. Taking in the whole scene they saw what lay before them, Jade unconscious on the floor and a sweating Robbie with a gun against his head.

"No, either you let me kill you or I kill her," the darkness shouted at Robbie pulling the shaking gun towards Robbie's girl. Moving towards his ex Beck paused and stepped in front of Tori, protecting her but that didn't matter Robbie saw in his mind eye the darkness shooting Tori in the heart. Screaming he pulled the gun towards himself and pulling the trigger. The gun exploded in his hand and if he had gotten it all the way to his temple his brains would be all over the wall but it had gone off before and the bullet tore across his forehead blood instantly soaked the front of his shirt as he collapsed back onto the bed. Tori screamed and rushed over to him expected the worse, she placed her hands against his forehead trying to stop the bleeding.

"Beck get me a towel or something," she shouted tears pouring down her cheeks. As he moved towards the bathroom Cat and Andre entered the room, Andre went over to Jade to check on her as Cat went over to Tori to trying to help her, Robbie's blood getting all over their hands.

"Why wont it stop?" Cat cried out, "What happened?"

"I don't know, one moment he had a gun to his head, then towards me then back at him again, he was shouting about random things I couldn't understand." Beck came rushing over placing the towel against Robbie's head, the towel was instantly soaked but the bleeding was starting to slow. The was a groan from behind as Andre helped Jade up into a chair.

"What happened?" he asked and she lowered her head.

"There was no family vacation out of the country, I made it up and instead Robbie and I ran away or at least I thought it was Robbie. It looks like there's a new alter but what's really fucked up is it's name is Robbie as well. I guess it wanted to kill Robbie, I tried to get the gun from him but he kicked me and then knocked me out with that gun of his," she said moaning as she gently touched her nose, it felt broken.

"You what?" Tori snapped and started towards her when a hand took her wrist gently, turning she saw Robbie sitting up.

"Someone answer the phone," he said groggily sitting up, "And why is it so dark?"

"Baby, there's no phone ringing and it's dark because there's a towel on your head."

"What? Towel?"

"I bet his ears are ringing from the shot." Beck explained.

"What?" Robbie shouted out reaching up and removing the towel but Cat quickly put it back, rolling it up so he could see but still covering the wound.

"That looks gross Robbie."

"Ropes?"

"Gross!" she shouted at him.

"No need to yell Cat I'm right here," Robbie said softly, "What did I miss?"

"Me," Tori said falling onto him hugging him close to her, he returned the hug tightly. Once they let go Tori whispered into Robbie's ear, "I told you that you couldn't get rid of me that easily, I love you."

"I love you too Tori," he said kissing her neck while looking over at Jade with a look of hatred in his eyes. Jade had looked away and didn't see the look but Andre did and it cooled him to the core, "Can we go home?"

"I think the hospital for both you and Jade would be a better fit first," said Beck as he helped Andre get Jade up and guide her out to the truck, "Tori got her license last month so she can take your car and follow us okay?"

"No, I'll take Robbie in the car, Tori can come with you and Cat just in case the nurse needs you to leave the room but Jade wants company," interrupted Andre and Beck shrugged, nodding. Robbie watched as Beck, Jade, Tori and Cat left the room leaving him and Andre alone.

"Just go, I'm not done here," said Robbie in a cold voice.

"Come on man, let's go to the hospital and get you checked out."

"You mean get me on some drugs that will fuck me up for the rest of my life. Just tell me the truth, you've hated me since I bagged on that psycho of a grandmother of yours. Here's your chance just leave. Jade and I shared this room, this bed and I know where she keeps her scissors, leave me alone to finish what I started," he said motioning at the head wound.

"You're that alter that Jade was talking about," he said standing up from his chair.

"Pills cant stop me, doctors cant, it's eventual I'm going to kill him and there's nothing you can do, I will never be defeated by you or any of your loser friends."

Andre's eyes darted across the room, not seeing anything helpful he launched himself at his good friend knocking him back and covering his mouth and nose with his hands. Robbie struggled trying to get Andre off him and failing, soon his eyes became spotted, grunting he passed out. Stepping back Andre took out his phone and called Beck, they had a real problem on their hands, a suicidal, murderous alter.

"Is it suicide or murder if an alter wants to kill Robbie?" he asked Beck frowning at the lack of an answer, "I need you to come back to the hotel alone after dropping Jade and the girls off, maybe ask for a sedative? Yeah it's Robbie, or something dark inside of him. Just hurry back okay?" Hanging up the phone his eyes fell on Robbie again sorrow in his eyes, sitting down he kept his gaze on him just in case he woke up before Beck got back. Luckily the young man didn't stir even when Beck arrived with the needle and injected Robbie like the nurse had shown him. Knowing he was out for a few hours at least the boys hefted Robbie in between them and carried him out to the car.

While all this was going down Cat and Tori stood around Jade as the doctor checked her nose.

"Nothing looks broken just swollen, keep it iced and you should be fine," the doctor said before writing on a pad, "You can wait here if you'd like I'll be back with the pills soon."

Once he was gone Tori walked slowly over to Jade, gently placing her hand over her whatever she was.

"This might not be a good time Jade but I have to ask before it kills me," started Tori.

"So if I stop you, you might die?" she asked with the ghost of a smile that vanished when she saw how serious Tori was.

"Why do you have an engagement ring on your finger?"
