"Excuse me?" Melissa questioned clearly offended. "What gives you the right to talk to me like that?"
"The love I feel for Jade" Beck responded firmly. "That gives me the right to tell you how I feel about you and that coward named Nick"
"Is this because of what Jade said? She lied to you too?" Melissa asked. "Nick adores her and he would never do such a thing, even Jade admitted it was a lie"
"No, she didn't" Tori corrected.
"Yes, she did, she and I talked at home and she didn't even mention Nick" Melissa informed.
"She just gave up, she knew you wouldn't believe her so she stopped trying to convince you" Tori commented but Melissa shook her head.
"No, Jade understood that making up a lie like that was evil and she took it back, Nick and I forgave her for trying to ruin our happiness and we even planned on going on a family trip, Jade was excited about that when I left, she was happy" Melissa affirmed.
"So happy that as soon as she had a chance she tried to kill herself" Beck said with irony and Melissa stared at him upset. "By the way, I heard you are getting married, congratulations, you two deserve each other"
"Stop with the hypocrisy!" Melissa exclaimed angrily.
"The only hypocrite here is you, why are you here? Why don't you go with your fiancée and live happily ever after now that Jade is gone? Isn't that what you wanted?" Beck questioned madly.
"Beck..." Tori said and put her hand on his shoulder to try to calm him down but he pushed her hand off.
"What are you saying? Jade is MY daughter and she is the most important person in my life, I love her more than anything" Melissa affirmed.
"You know what I think? I think maternity is beautiful, I think there is nothing more precious and genuine than the love between a mother and her child, I think that a good mother will always put their kid above everything, even herself and I've always found that abnegation and love beautiful but that's not your case" Beck commented.
"This conversation is ridiculous, I don't even know why I'm here talking with you when I should be with my daughter" Melissa said.
"Stop pretending, we all know you don't give a damn about her" Beck said.
"Beck, stop" Andre demanded but he ignored him.
"You know nothing, Beck, Jade is not perfect, she's lied and done horrible things but I love her anyway because she is my daughter and I don't care what you think of me as a mother or what you think about Nick, I know that he is a great man" Melissa commented.
"A coward that harasses a young woman can't be called a man" Beck affirmed.
"Did you ever see him doing that?" Melissa asked but Beck didn't respond. "Yes, exactly, you didn't so you can't be sure that it happened, I am certainly sure that it didn't happen because I know Nick and I know Jade, I know that he is a good man and I also know that she is capable of doing or saying anything to get what she wants, she's used to always getting what she wants, you should know that"
"If you knew her nearly as well as you say you do, you would have believed her and in fact I did see him looking at Jade inappropriately but that's probably not gonna change your mind" Beck said. "I know Jade way more than you do and I know that she never even considered suicide as an option, she must've felt really bad when she did it and it casually happened right after you refused to believe her so I'm blaming you for it, her death will be on you"
"You know what? This conversation is over, I am her mother and I don't want to see you here, I'm all she needs" Melissa said.
"I doubt it and I don't care if you don't want to see me or Tori or any of us, we truly are all she has, if it weren't for us she would be dead right now" Beck affirmed."We are staying"
Hours later Andre, Cat and Robbie went to their houses to get some clothes for themselves and also for Beck and Tori, who stayed at the hospital waiting for news along with Melissa but she preferred to keep her distance.
"Any news?" Robbie asked as he, Cat and Andre walked towards Beck and Tori.
"No" Tori answered.
"I feel so bad for Jade's mom" Cat commented sadly because Melissa was sitting on the couch crying her eyes out.
"I know, me too but she doesn't want us around" Tori said.
"She deserves to feel bad, Jade is here because of her" Beck affirmed.
"Beck, stop it, I know that she should have trusted Jade but she is still her mother and she is suffering, you don't need to make it worse" Tori commented.
"She hasn't stopped crying" Cat commented sadly.
"I'm so glad Jade didn't turn off the video chat, first because if we hadn't got there in time she would have died within minutes and also, her mother would have found her like we found her" Andre commented. "She wouldn't have been able to handle it; can you imagine coming home and finding your daughter dead on her bed? It must be a horrible trauma"
"Yes but thank god, we arrived just in time, she is going to live even if she doesn't want to and we'll be there to support her" Robbie affirmed.
"I still can't believe that she tried to commit suicide, it's just not something Jade would do... I mean, really, even after what happened I don't think she would kill herself" Tori commented.
"Maybe Jade was depressed but we never realized it" Cat suggested.
"That's true, I mean, she could be around Nick and act normally... she never showed any sign of abuse or stress and if she could hide that, she might've also hidden her depression, she basically says it in the note" Robbie added.
"True but I don't know, I just don't think she would do that... this is all so weird" Tori said. "If she hadn't been alone, I would think that someone else tried to kill her"
"I agree with Tori, contrary to what most people think when they see Jade, she wasn't the kind of person who fantasized about her own death" Beck commented. "She must have been pretty desperate when she did it"
It was nighttime and the gang was still at the hospital just like Melissa but they were in opposite sides of the room, suddenly Nick walked into the room rushed so Melissa stood up. "Melissa, what happened? I drove back to LA as soon as I heard your message" He informed.
"Jade tried to kill herself, I don't know what happened but she did, fortunately her friends found her just in time and she is being treated" Melissa explained and he looked down worriedly but not for Jade's health, he was worried that she had probabilities of surviving.
"Oh my god, that's horrible but what was she thinking?" He questioned confused and Beck couldn't help himself, he walked up to Nick and Melissa and grabbed him by his shirt.
"You are a worthless piece of trash" Beck affirmed angrily.
"Step back, boy" Nick demanded but Beck only wanted to beat the hell out of him.
"She is your fiancée's daughter, you're sick" Beck said but Nick shook his head.
"No, what Jade said was a lie, Melissa and I were very upset with her but after talking about it, we realized that she only wants attention, this is proof of it, I mean she tried to kill herself last night because she wanted her mother to find her like that today" Nick commented as he walked away from Beck and hugged Melissa. "Jade suffers from deep psychological problems, so I was thinking that once she is out of the hospital, we should sign her up in a clinic" He suggested to Melissa.
"A clinic? So you harass Jade to the point she tries to kill herself and she is the crazy one?" Tori questioned upset. "Jade is not insane and you're not gonna lock her up"
"I don't harass her and it's for her own good, Jade is not mentally stable, like I said, she did this for attention, she did it to punish her mother for wanting to be happy... what makes you think she won't try to do it again?" Nick questioned.
"Jade is not the person you're describing, the only person who should be locked up but in jail is you" Beck affirmed.
"Melissa, your daughter needs help; I really think we should send her to a clinic when she gets out of the hospital, at least for a season" Nick insisted.
"I don't know, Nick, I just want my daughter to live" Melissa responded and then Jade's father accompanied by his wife joined them.
"What happened to Jade? Why is she here?" He questioned.
"She tried to kill herself" Beck informed.
"What?" He questioned surprised. "Melissa, you live with her, where were you when she did it?"
"I was on a business trip" Melissa answered.
"Oh wonderful so as soon as you got away my daughter tried to kill herself, that means you don't take care of her properly" Jade's dad, whose name was Richard, commented upset.
"What about you? You weren't even with her on her birthday, you can't tell me how to be a parent" Melissa responded.
"You're being too hard on Melissa, honey, it's not her fault" Brittany said. "I told you your daughter was crazy"
"Hey, watch your mouth, Jade is not crazy" Beck affirmed coldly.
"Don't talk to my wife like that" Richard demanded. "Jade might not be crazy but she is certainly not okay with you, Melissa, I think she should move with me" He said and Brittany's eyes wide opened.
"No way" Brittany said and he looked at her confused. "I mean, honey, Jade is not gonna be better with us, I think she should be in a place where they can take care of her full time...if she survives, of course"
"Full time?" He questioned.
"Yes, like a clinic or something" Brittany suggested and Nick nodded.
"You're right, darling, I'll find a good place for her because she is not staying in that house any longer"
Next morning, Beck, Andre, Robbie, Cat and Tori woke up in the hospital just like Melissa and Nick, who hadn't been able to sleep because he was very worried, he was very angry with himself for not waiting until Jade was dead to leave the house.
"Doctor, how's my daughter?" Melissa questioned worriedly and they all walked up to him.
"I have bad news and good news" The doctor said. "The good news is that she survived the night and that means she won't die" He informed and Nick looked down worriedly but quickly faked a smile when Melissa looked at him.
Beck and the rest of the gang were so happy that they immediately smiled and hugged each other gladly. "Thank god" Melissa said happily with tears in her eyes "Can we see her?"
"What's the bad news?" Robbie questioned.
"The bad news is that she is in a deep coma" The doctor informed and their smiles dropped.
"What?" Beck asked worriedly.
"She is in coma, we think it was caused by the bleeding or the lack of oxygen in her brain when she stopped breathing" The doctor explained.
"But what does that mean? Is she alive or not?" Nick questioned.
"She is technically alive but she is unconscious" The doctor responded.
"And when will she wake up?" Beck asked.
"We don't know, she could wake up within the next few hours or days or months, even years...or she could never wake up"
Yeah, bad news!
