DISCLAIMER: I do nut own Victorious! Wait... nut?
I walked into the hospital, a week after the interesting event with my father. It had taken a load off my shoulders, but things were starting to seem bleak. It was the 5th month anniversary of Cat's Diagnosis. She still wasn't in remission. How long will it take? She has to be okay soon! I can't stand waiting!
I was walking up to Cat's hospital room, when I saw Beck standing outside the door. "Beck?" I asked, in confusion. "Why are you standing there?" He looked up at me, and shook his head, throwing his hands in the air.
"They won't let me in! I don't know why..." He sighed worriedly. I looked down awkwardly. He looked up again. "Hey, I heard about you and your dad. I'm very proud of you." I looked up.
"How did you find out?" I asked.
"Robbie saw you two walking outside his house, and he had called your house and asked what's up, because he was worried. Your mom explained everything..." Beck said. I was almost angry at my mom for telling Robbie about my dad and I, but the feeling was gone instantly. He looked at me, then kissed me. It was short, but sweet. He hugged me, and I remembered the warmth of being in his arms, and smiled. Yes, Jade West smiled. Don't be so surprised!
"So, we're... back together?" I asked, looking up into his big brown eyes.
"We sure are." Beck smiled. We went in for another kiss, but a doctor surprised us.
"Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting. You can visit Cat Valentine. You're friends of hers?" We nodded. "Doctor Hennings has some information for you." We looked at each other, then walked inside. Cat was asleep, her small stomach pushing the blanket up and down. There was a doctor, looking at a clipboard, beside Cat's bed. He looked up at us. He was the nice doctor I had met so many times.
"Come in, come in!" He said, rather loudly. He saw our expressions, then explained. "Don't worry. She's fast asleep, and after all the testing, I wouldn't be surprised if she stayed asleep for quite some time." Man, he sure knows how to word things scarily... I bit my lip.
"So, you were going to tell us something?" Beck asked, wringing his hands nervously. The doctor looked nervous, or at least, it seemed so to me.
"Oh, yes. Well, we've finished testing Cat after her latest Chemotherapy round. And we have results stating our progress in the last 5 months." My hands started sweating. Just out with it, already! My thoughts screamed. Beck massaged my shoulders.
He looked at his clipboard once more, then back up. "All signs and reports of Leukemia have come out negative. Cat has gone into remission." He smiled. Beck threw his head back in relief. "Yes!"
I let my breath loose in relief. "Thank god!" I sighed. Beck pulled me into a hug, and I laid my head on his shoulder. Finally, things were alright! Really alright!
. . . . .
After Cat woke up the next morning, Beck, Tori, Andre, Robbie, and I took Cat to where she had wanted to go since this whole thing began: Chippy Cheezer's. We played air hockey, pool, Dance Dance Team Party, and Cat tried the crane game until she got the baby monkey, and we were out of quarters. We ate some pizza, bought some milkshakes to-go, and hopped back into the car.
We went to Cat's house, where we had set up her Got-Better Party. Even when her crazy little brother popped half the balloons and squirted Beck with silly string, we had a great time. No one complained when Cat wanted to watch a Bambi Doll movie, and no one shouted at her when she spilled soda on Tori (which amused Jade enormously). We were all just happy to have her back.
Even with the annoying Tori Vega, the loud Matt Bullock, and myself, getting all emotional, we had the best day of our lives. And for once, I didn't feel like ignoring my problems. I didn't feel like running.
Sorry, not my best. But look on the bright side: Bade lives! Cat lives! And you know what else lives? A new story!
