ENDING B
CHAPTER ONE
Hours, days, weeks passed and nothing happened, it had been two months and Jade was still in coma; Nick was starting to feel that she was never gonna wake up so he was more relaxed, Melissa had to go back to work after a few days but she always went to the hospital in the afternoon and stayed until night, Beck, Andre, Tori, Cat and Robbie had to go back to school but they went to see Jade afterwards and stayed with her all day too.
"Hey, Beck" Tori said as she and the rest of the gang walked up to him.
"How's Jade? Did you see her on the weekend?" Andre asked.
"Yes, she is still sleeping" Beck answered, it made him feel better to say she was asleep rather than basically dead. "Are you guys gonna come today?"
"Yes, we were just saying we'll go after school" Tori responded and he nodded, later that day Beck drove his friends to the hospital and they went to Jade's room, when they got there she was alone so they felt more comfortable, they hated having to be around Nick and Melissa.
"Hi Jade" Cat said sweetly and kissed Jade's cheek like she always did, the rest of them only smiled sadly because as usual, Jade was unconscious.
"I can't believe Sikowitz made us spend the class looking at each other" Tori commented after they'd made themselves comfortable in the room.
"I know, my face hurts" Andre added.
"I think it was fun" Cat said. "Robbie's faces were funny" She commented and they laughed.
"I think it was goo-"Beck started but then he looked at the bed and noticed Jade's eyes were open. "Jade? Jade!" He exclaimed happily when he realized she was awake.
"Oh my god, you woke up" Cat exclaimed happily, they were all surrounding the bed staring at her and she was looking around confused, she had no idea where she was or what had happened.
"Where am I?" Jade questioned completely confused as she sat down, at first she didn't remember what had happened so everything was confusing to her. "What happened?"
"You're in the hospital" Tori responded and Jade looked around trying to understand why she was there. "Jade, why did you do it?" She questioned sadly and Jade stared at her not understanding what she meant.
"What?" Jade asked back. "What do you mean? Do what?"
"Jade, you know why you're here, don't you?" Beck asked and she shook her head confused at first but then she started getting flashbacks and within seconds she remembered everything. She remembered Nick coming into her room, pushing her around and raping her.
Jade was just staring into space as she remembered and shaking her head a little, she just felt so frustrated and impotent. "Yeah... I think you do" He said and Jade's eyes quickly started filling up with tears because she did remember everything.
All the sudden Nick and Melissa walked into the room only to see Jade awake and her friends around her, as soon as Nick saw Jade his heart stopped and he started panicking. "Jade, honey!" Melissa exclaimed happily and Jade looked up at her, she saw her mother and Nick standing behind her so she immediately froze in fear.
"Oh my god, I'm so happy you're awake" Melissa said gladly and hugged Jade who was only looking at Nick with fear and hatred in her eyes.
"Jade, thank god you woke up" Nick said sweetly as he walked up to her and Melissa broke the hug so he could hug her too, Jade was just frozen she couldn't scream or say anything so she just closed her eyes. "What were you thinking?" He questioned but she was looking to the other side, she wanted to avoid eye contact with him at all costs.
Beck and the rest of them could notice how uncomfortable she was but they thought it was because of the harassment. "Hello, Jade, I'm Doctor Adams, I'm glad to see you awake" The doctor informed as he entered the room. "We're going to do a little routine exercise to make sure you're fine, okay?" He said but she ignored him. "What's your name and how old are you?" He questioned.
"Jade West, I'm eighteen" Jade answered still looking down.
"How much is eighty four plus five?" He questioned.
"Eighty nine" Jade simply responded.
"Good, now follow my finger with your eyes, please" He said and started moving his finger from side to side, Jade simply followed it with her eyes and he smiled at her. "Perfect" He said but she didn't respond. "Jade, do you know why you're here? Do you remember what happened?" He questioned but she didn't say anything. "Can you talk to me about it?"
"Leave me alone" Jade demanded and he nodded.
"It's okay, take your time" The doctor said, Jade still couldn't understand what they meant, she could guess that she was in the hospital because of the rape but she didn't know why everyone was asking her those questions and why Nick was there like nothing had happened. The last thing she remembered was being in her room and him raping her on the desk. "She needs to rest, okay? Please don't overwhelm her with questions" He said to all of them and they nodded.
"Oh baby, I was starting to lose hope" Melissa commented. "I know you need to rest right now but... why? Why did you do it, Jade?" She asked but Jade was just looking down, she didn't know what they meant. "It was wrong, honey, it was a mistake I hope you know that" She said and for a second Jade thought she was blaming her for sleeping with Nick so she was disconcerted.
"Are you really telling me this?" Jade asked surprised and sadly.
"Yes, Jade, what you did was wrong" Melissa repeated and Jade stared at her sadly and angrily.
"Jade, baby..." Nick said and put his hand on hers, she immediately started feeling how her heart beat faster and her blood froze inside her as he touched her, Beck was so uncomfortable seeing that and he could notice how much it bothered Jade. "Suicide is never an option" He commented and she looked at him even more confused.
"Wha- what?" Jade asked and he smiled at her.
"It's okay, nobody is judging you but it wasn't right" He said as he stroked her hand and she slowly pulled it away while staring at him angrily. Jade was so confused and overwhelmed; she couldn't really understand what was happening.
Jade had no idea what they were talking about but then she looked down and saw the scars on her wrists. "He is right, honey, it was my fault... I didn't realize you were so depressed" Melissa said and things started making sense to Jade but she didn't know what to do, apparently nobody knew about the rape and they believed she'd tried to kill herself.
"Can you leave?" Jade asked and her mother looked at Nick sadly.
"But honey, you just woke up, I wanna be with you" Melissa said.
"Leave!" Jade insisted and Melissa sighed.
"Alright..." She kissed Jade's cheek and walked out of the room along with Nick, he smirked at her as he closed the door and Jade just felt so intimidated, she hated so much how vulnerable he made her feel now.
Jade remained quiet for several minutes as she stroked the scars on her wrists still trying to assimilate what had happened to her, everything felt so recent and surreal at the same time. Beck, Tori, Cat, Andre and Robbie were just looking at her not knowing what to say, they felt bad for her and wanted her to speak but they didn't know how to begin.
Jade looked at her friends and saw them staring at her sadly; she hated to be seen with pity so it just made her feel worse, the whole situation made her feel so bad about herself that she only wanted to go back to sleep. "Stop looking at me like that" She demanded coldly.
"How?" Cat asked innocently.
"Like I'm damaged or broken" Jade responded upset.
"It's okay, Jade, you don't have to be ashamed" Robbie said nicely.
"Robbie is right, we know that you wanted to die but you should be happy that you didn't" Tori added. "We are happy that you're here, alive!" She said and Jade sighed, she just felt so sad and she wasn't even trying to hide it.
"Don't be sad" Cat said.
"I never thought I would have to tell you this, Jade but suicide is never the right choice, all problems can be solved" Beck commented. "I'm sure you knew it before you did it because you called me..." He said and Jade looked down, she indeed had called him but he was so wrong about the reasons.
"You have NO idea what you're talking about" Jade commented emotionlessly. "You really don't"
"Yes, I do..." Beck said and she looked at him. "Tori told us everything, we know what Nick has been doing to you" he informed and a few tears started streaming down her face as she tried to stop herself from breaking out crying, only hearing his name was enough to make her want to die.
"Oh no, Jade...don't cry" Beck said and couldn't help himself, he embraced her in his arms because it made him feel so bad to see how much it affected her, he only wanted to protect her from Nick and his harassment, he thought that she was acting like that because of it but he had no idea what had really happened.
Jade didn't hug him back or anything, she was just looking down with lots of tears streaming down her face while remembering all the things Nick had done to her and how he'd made her feel. "It's okay, now that I know what he's been doing to you I'm gonna protect you" Beck said and Jade broke the hug. By saying that he made her feel he would get back together with her because of Nick and his harassment, Jade didn't want him to do that and she knew that if he learned about the rape he would feel even more obligated to be with her which really bothered her, she hated to feel or be seen as a victim.
"I don't need you to protect me" Jade affirmed coldly as she wiped the tears away. "I am perfectly fine"
"You're in the hospital waking up from a coma because you tried to kill yourself" Beck said. "You're not fine"
"Yes, I am, you don't need to be here" Jade affirmed trying to seem strong; she wanted them to believe she was fine because she much preferred to be alone, she actually wanted to be alone, she wanted to cry and scream and shower, she felt so humiliated and weak that it made her hate herself.
Yeah, so as you can see in this ending things are different.
