I hope you guys liked the previous chapter. In this chapter, the group visits Jade at the Hospital. She was in pretty bad shape when they last saw her so they are all very concerned about her. Also in this chapter, a word battle between Beck and Tori.
Chapter 2
**Los Angeles General Hospital. 8:40pm**
The ER is crowded with people. Jade was taken for observation and some scanning.
Cat: Where's Jade? I'm getting impatient here!
Tori: I know, it's been almost 90 minutes since they took her
Robbie: I'm sure she's fine. I mean, she's Jade after all
Andre: Yeah. You're right man. Umm, Beck?
Beck: …(no answer)
Andre: Dude, you've been quiet ever since the accident.
Robbie: Is everything okay, Beck?
Beck: I just…this is all my fault
Andre: Oh come on man, don't say…
Rex: IT IS his fault
Robbie: Rex! Can't you see he feel remorseful?
Beck: You know what? He's right, I caused this.
Cat: It's not like you meant to drop her
Andre: Yeah, it was an accident
Tori: Well not to be mean, but you could have prevented this!
Beck: I know, I know! But I didn't mean to. It was an accident, I just got distracted.
Robbie: Yeah. I'm sure Beck had a good reason to be distracted.
Tori: Okay. Fine. Let's hear it.
Beck: Fine. I got a…very important…text message
Tori: About….
Beck: uhh…gossip…about… David Letterman
Rex: Oh yeah, nice excuse man!
Beck: All I know is that Jade will never forgive me. She'll probably break up with me. And this time it will be permanent. I just know it. I don't mean to cause drama, but my life is over. (Sits down)
Tori: Oh come on, I'm sure she won't do that. I mean, she might stab you with scissors and drive you deep into the desert though.
Beck: Oh thanks Tori, that's very reassuring. (sarcastic)
Tori: Hey, I'm being honest here. You were supposed to protect her and didn't because of some stupid Celebrity Gossip text message.
Beck: Hey it was YOUR idea to go to that stupid rock climbing place in the first place.
Tori: And it was YOU who agreed to come and YOU who agreed to be her spotter. You know you could have refused and just let Andre or even Robbie spot her.
Beck: Why would I let Andre or Robbie protect my girlfriend?
Andre: Yo man, relax a little bit, would you?
Tori: I'm sure they would have done a better job.
Beck: Yeah and since when are you all BFF with Jade?
Tori: We're not BFF's. We tolerate each other as best as we can.
Cat: One time my brother was taken into a special hospital, but then they kicked him out because he kept trying to choke everyone.
Andre: Umm, Cat? What does that have to do with Jade?
Cat: Nothing, I just remembered that story because we're in a hospital.
Andre: Oh, ok. At least you stopped the fight.
20 minutes later, a doctor came out.
Dr. Keller: Hi. Are you guys friends with Jade West?
Beck: Yes, I'm her boyfriend.
Rex: But not for long.
(Becks gives Rex a long stare. Then faces Dr. Keller again)
Beck: Is she okay? (concerned)
Dr. Keller: Well she took a hard fall. But luckily she only suffered a broken wrist and a minor concussion.
Beck: A concussion?
Dr. Keller: Yes, but don't worry she'll be fine. We would like her to stay in the hospital for 36 hours for observation.
Beck: Great. Can we see her?
Dr. Keller: Sure. She's in room 15D.
Everyone: Thank you doctor.
**Room 15D. 9:10pm**
Door opens. Jade looks up to see her friends come in.
Cat: Hi Jade
Andre: How are you feeling?
Jade: My head hurts, I feel dizzy, and I can't feel my arm.
Cat: Oh look, they gave you a pink cast. YAY. I want a pink cast.
Jade: Cat, please keep it quiet, my head hurts.
Cat: Sorry. Whoops.
Beck: Hey, umm, how are you?
Jade: Beck, I already answered that question. (smiles)
Beck: Oh, right.
Tori: Is there anything you need to feel better?
Beck: Umm, could you guys give us some privacy please?
Rex: NO! We want to watch this match. I bet it will better than pay per view.
Beck: Guys please!
Everyone: Okay, fine, sure, let's go.
(Everyone leaves. Beck and Jade are alone inside the room)
Beck: So, Jade…
Jade: Yes?
Beck: Look, you have no idea how bad I feel about this. It's all my fault,
I'm an idiot, and I know I don't deserve you. And I totally understand if you want to break up with me or even stab me with scissors or bury me in the desert, I just don't know what I was thinking and…
Jade:…BECK! Please stop talking.
Beck: But it's just that…
Jade: I'm not mad at you.
Beck: I just…wait, what? You're NOT mad at me?
Jade: No, I'm not mad. It was just an accident. (smiles)
Beck: Okay, who are you and where is the real Jade?
Jade: That's cute. (giggles)
Beck: Wait! Did you just GIGGLE? (confused)
Jade: What's wrong with giggling? (pouts slightly)
Beck: Oh nothing, it's just that you hate giggling.
Jade: Oh, you're right. Well, I guess I just felt like giggling. Now I love you and all but I really would like to get some sleep.
Beck: Sure honey. I'll be here first thing in the morning tomorrow.
Jade: Bye baby.
**Outside Room 15D. 9:30pm**
Beck steps outside the room.
Andre: Beck, what happened?
Robbie: How's Jade?
Rex: How come you're still walking?
Tori: What did Jade say?
Beck: She's not mad at me. (smiles)
Cat: Wow. That's amazing.
Tori: They must have given her very strong meds
Beck: Or maybe she understands that this was an accident and she's just not mad at me.
Rex: Yeah, suuuuuure. Wait till the meds wear off.
Beck: Oh man, you're right.
***Los Angeles General Hospital. Sunday at noon***
Beck approaches Jade's room one last time. He knocks on the door.
Beck: Jade, it's Beck.
Jade: Come in please.
(Beck enters room)
Beck: Okay, so how are you feeling?
Jade: Fine, but after being here for 2 nights I'm more than ready to go home.
Beck: Good. The doctor signed your release papers and you're good to go.
Jade: Great. Let's get out of here.
Beck: Oh and Jade? Since the doctor said that you may return to regular activities today, I was thinking maybe we could join our friends? They're playing cards at Tori's house this afternoon.
Jade: I'd love to. Spending time with our wonderful friends is always fun.
Beck: That's weird. (confused)
Jade: What's weird?
Beck: You covered your sarcasm very well. Nice babe.
Jade: But I wasn't being sarcastic. I love our friends very much, they each have so many special qualities. Don't you agree?
Beck: Uhhh…sure?
Jade: Alright then, let's go. (happy)
(Jade leaves the room. Beck stays behind for a minute)
Beck: Either those meds are still kicking in or someone is impersonating my girlfriend.
(Beck calls Andre)
Andre: Hey man, you're with Jade?
Beck: Yeah, we're on our way out. And we'll be at Tori's house later.
Andre: Ok, just make sure she's not carrying any weapons
Beck: Oh don't worry. She's being extremely nice right now.
Andre: Those painkillers must be really strong
Beck: Look, I don't know what's going on. But whatever it is, Jade's nice and I think I like it.
Andre: Whatever you say man
Beck: Anyway, I'll see you later.
(Hangs up)
Jade's mean persona seems to have taken a complete turn for the better. Or is it? How will her friends react to her new personality? Will they embrace it, or will they want the old Jade back? Find out in the next chapter.
