Hey guys! Sorry for not updating in two days but i completely forgot about it, i'm pretty busy with uni right now.
Anyway, here you go! :)
"No, she has to wake up… do whatever it takes, don't worry about the money, apply her all treatments but she needs to wake up" Melissa exclaimed worriedly.
"This is not about treatments, ma'am, we can't do anything to wake her up" The doctor responded. "Coma cases are very complex, some people wake up within days but some others can remain in that state for several years and then one day simply wake up"
"But there are others who never do, right?" Nick questioned and the doctor nodded.
"Unfortunately, yes, many people have stayed in that state all their lives" The doctor answered. "Some relatives get tired of waiting and they pull the plug after a few years so it's all over"
"What's the difference between that and being dead then?" Beck questioned slightly upset.
"Listen, Jade is technically alive because she's connected to a machine therefore her life is artificial, if we pulled the plug she would be automatically dead BUT she could wake up, that's still a possibility do you understand?" He asked and they nodded sadly. "We have to wait to see if she recovers but as for now, she will be transferred to another room where you'll be able to see her" The doctor informed.
"Thank you" Melisa said and he was about to leave but then he remembered to tell them something important.
"Oh I almost forgot, I noticed she has bruises and-" He informed suspiciously but Melissa interrupted him.
"Do you mean the one on her face?" Her mother asked and he nodded.
"Yes, that, a small one on her arm and she also has a pretty big one on her belly" The doctor informed and Jade's friends looked at each other confused. "Oh and also, there are some light marks around her neck, it looks like someone tried to strangle her…those bruises were covered with a lot of makeup, that's why we didn't see them at first"
"Oh god...That beast" Melissa said upset.
"Who?" The doctor questioned.
"Her boyfriend, she is dating a dangerous man and the bastard beat her up" Melissa informed and Tori and Beck looked at each other because they knew it had been Nick. "I would denounce him but I don't know anything about him"
"Well, if that's the case then there's nothing we can do" The doctor commented, he wanted to tell them about the fact it seemed Jade had been recently assaulted but after hearing that he assumed that it had been her boyfriend and since they couldn't do a lot to catch him he preferred not to mortify Jade's mother more. "Like I said, Jade will be transferred to a room and you'll be able to see her later" He said and Melissa nodded.
"She is in coma, Nick, my daughter is in coma" Melissa said as she hugged him and started crying again.
"I know it's hard but we have to be strong" He said as he stroked her hair but he was smiling relieved.
"Why did she do it, Nick? Why did she ruin her life like that? I don't understand" Melissa commented sadly with lots of tears running down her face.
"I don't know, Melissa but this is partly because of us, we should have got her psychiatric help in time" Nick commented and she started crying more."Sh, sh... it's okay, I'm here with you" He said and hugged her.
"What happened to your hand?" Melissa asked when she saw the little bandage on his hand.
"Oh, I cut myself when I was cooking for my mother" Nick lied.
"And what happened to your neck and your face?" She asked as she looked at the scratches and bruises.
"I didn't wanna worry you, honey but I got robbed and the thieves beat me up a little" He responded
"Oh my god, you gotta get checked" Melissa said.
"No, It's okay, Jade's the priority right now"
"I can't stand that man" Beck said angrily. "I'm sure he caused that bruise and the neck marks, Tori, did you see him punching her belly or strangling her?"
"No but when I got there they were already in the room so maybe he did it before but I'm sure it was him" Tori responded. "I told you he was very violent, he is a monster"
"Poor Jade" Cat said sadly. "It must be horrible to live in her house with him"
"Well, at least when she wakes up if that ever happens, they're gonna send her to a clinic..." Andre commented."You heard her father and Nick is probably going to convince her mother too"
"That's not going to happen, Jade is not crazy" Beck affirmed.
"Well, if I'm completely honest with you, after what she did I think being relaxed for a few months in a clinic would be good for her" Robbie commented.
"No, I know Jade and even though, I never imagined she would be in a situation like this, I know that if they put her in a clinic she would see it as if they were getting rid of her and that would be worse" Beck responded. "She would end up killing herself for real, what she needs is to feel that she is not alone"
Hours later, the doctor informed them that they could see Jade and as it was expected, Melissa and Nick were the first ones to see her, Melissa walked into the room and saw Jade laying on the bed wearing a blue coat and bandages around her wrists but other than that, she looked like she was sleeping.
"Oh honey, why did you do this?" Melissa asked sadly as she sat down next to the bed. "Why did you try to kill yourself? What were you thinking? I have so many questions that I need you to answer, you can't stay like this, Jade, you need to wake up"
"She looks like an angel" Nick commented nicely and stroked her hands, Melissa smiled at him and then at Jade, she indeed looked like an angel when she slept, beautiful and innocent.
"I'm so sorry for leaving you alone, maybe if I hadn't travelled you would be okay" Melissa said and kissed her daughter's hand. "But don't worry, I won't leave you alone again" Nick was hoping that Jade would never wake up but he needed to find a way to get rid of her just in case.
After Melissa and Nick left the room, Beck and the rest of Jade's friends took their turn, they entered the room and saw Jade there, she looked much better now in comparison to when they had found her. "At least she regained some color, she looked as white as a paper when we found her" Tori commented.
"She looks like she is sleeping" Cat said.
"A very long sleep..." Beck added as he sat down next to the bed.
"Do you guys think she can hear us or think?" Andre asked.
"The doctor said that the probabilities of her knowing what's going on around her are very low but nobody truly knows, maybe she does" Robbie responded.
"That's enough for me" Beck said and grabbed her hand carefully trying not to touch her wrist. "Jade, I don't know if you can hear me but I hope you do and I hope you understand what I'm saying" He commented. "I love you, I really do and I'm sorry for not opening the door that day at Tor's house, it wasn't that I didn't love you enough, I was just tired of fighting but I now know that I would rather spend the rest of my life fighting with you than to spend it alone, please don't leave me, Jade, you need to live, you have to recover because I need you here" He affirmed with tears in his eyes.
"You need to wake up because there are many things that I still have to tell you, many things that we have to do together, we have to graduate from school and take over Hollywood, we have to marry and buy a big house with an electrified fence around it, we have to travel the world together, we have to become parents some day and raise our kids, we have to live, Jade and then grow old together" Beck commented as lots of tears streamed down his face and the rest of the gang was just staring at him sadly. "If you stay in this bed, if you don't fight for your life we won't be able to do any of that and I know you want to because you love me as much as I love you, Jade, so please, please don't give up"
"Beck, do you really think she can hear you?" Tori questioned.
"I hope so because I meant every word" Beck answered.
"She is going to recover, Beck, I'm sure" she commented and he nodded.
"I know, she has to recover"
"Guys, with all this we completely forgot about the play, we didn't present it yesterday" Robbie commented.
"We couldn't do it, Jade was about to die" Tori responded.
"But that means we are all gonna fail" Robbie said. "Maybe if we finish it we could present it, Sikowitz will understand"
"Do you really think I want to write about death and suicide after this?" Beck asked.
"Robbie is right, Beck, we should finish it and present it" Andre said. "The problem is that it's in Jade's computer"
"I can't go to her house, you know that" Tori commented.
"That's okay, I don't think Jade's mother has a problem with me or Cat or Robbie so we will go while you stay here" Andre said and Tori nodded.
Andre, Cat and Robbie went to Jade's house and knocked on the door. "What do you want?" Nick questioned coldly when he opened the door.
"We need to use Jade's computer" Andre responded and then Melissa appeared, she had changed her clothes and was about to go back to the hospital.
"What are you doing here?" She questioned.
"We need to use Jade's computer for a few minutes" Robbie said. "Please, it's important"
"Alright, let's go" Melissa said and let them in, she hadn't entered Jade's room because she was afraid of what she was gonna find but she knew she had to face reality so she went upstairs with Jade's friends.
Melissa opened the door to Jade's room and immediately saw the bloody sheets on the bed, she looked down and a tear started streaming down her face, she imagined Jade laying there and it made her feel so much impotence.
Andre, Robbie and Cat had already seen it so they weren't surprised, they simply walked up to Jade's computer, which was still on, and the first thing they did was finish the video chat, then they saved the document on a USB and turned off the computer. "Thank you"
After that they went back to the hospital and found Tori and Beck in the cafeteria eating lunch, they hadn't had any food in almost two days. "Hey guys, what happened?" Tori asked as Cat, Andre and Robbie joined them.
"We got the play, oh and Beck, we brought your laptop to finish it, it was in the back seat" Robbie informed and Beck nodded.
"So let's finish it" Tori said and they turned on the computer to check the document.
"Hold on, what? Jade continued writing it after we fell asleep" Andre informed. "It's actually almost finished; she stopped in the last part"
"What?" Beck questioned confused.
"Yes, she finished the case and she was writing the final scene, look" Andre said and showed them the computer "But then she didn't even finish typing that word, this is weird"
"Very weird, if she was going to kill herself then why did she continue writing the play? And if she wanted to finish it, then why didn't she do it? She was very close" Tori asked. "This doesn't make sense"
"Nothing in this situation makes sense, the fact Jade tried to kill herself doesn't make sense with or without the play, Tori" Beck commented. "Just finish it..."
They're suspicious but will they find out the truth? Will Nick make sure Jade never wakes up? You never know ;)
Don't forget to review, guys, i've said this a thousand times but i love Reading your thoughts.
