ENDING B
CHAPTER THREE
"Jade, it's time for your medicine" A nurse said nicely and handed Jade two pills.
"I don't need it" Jade responded.
"What kind of medicine is that?" Tori asked curiously.
"It's her antidepressants" The nurse answered. "Jade, just take them, they'll make you feel better"
"Nothing can make me feel better" Jade affirmed. "I'm not gonna take them so why don't you just leave?"
"You know I can't do that, you have to take them, they're part of your treatment" The nurse commented. "Please, just take them"
"Whatever" Jade put the pills in her mouth and drank some water.
"Thank you" The nurse said and walked away but as soon as she left Jade spit out the pills and put them in her pocket.
"Why did you do that?" Tori asked.
"I don't need any medicine, I'm tired of people treating me like I'm sick every second of the day" Jade commented coldly. "I can't stand this place"
"You signed yourself in" Beck commented.
"It was this or going back to that house" Jade responded and Beck sighed sadly, it made him feel so bad that Jade preferred to be in a clinic rather than her own house, he could imagine how horrible the harassment was when nobody was around.
"How long will you be here?" Andre asked.
"I don't know I hope long enough" Jade said.
"Does that mean you want to stay here?" Cat questioned confused.
"No, Cat, that means I don't want to go back"
Hours, days, weeks went by and Jade was getting sick of being in the clinic because they always talked to her about things she didn't need or have trouble with so she never actually paid attention and she saw it as a waste of time but she did not want to be released because she would have to go home.
"There she is!" Tori exclaimed and pointed to Jade who was standing next to a tree but she was looking to the other side so she didn't see them coming, she was wearing black sweatpants and a gray shirt, that's how she always dressed in the clinic, she had to wear comfortable clothes and no makeup but she still looked beautiful. Beck thought it would be funny to surprise her so they all remained quiet while walking to her.
Beck grabbed Jade's waist from behind and she immediately froze but quickly reacted and turned around scared, he could feel how tense she got as soon as he touched her and her reaction when she stepped back so he got confused. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked and Jade took a deep breath.
"Nothing" Jade answered. "You scared me" She lied, she just hated to be caught off guard because it reminded her of Nick, every time someone grabbed her she could feel him and it scared the hell out of her.
"Jade, you're shaking..." Tori commented.
"What do you want?" Jade asked trying to change the subject.
"Um... we came to see you as always" Robbie answered and she simply sighed.
"So, how's therapy?" Tori questioned curiously.
"Boring, I have to sit there for hours every day and It's absolutely useless" Jade responded. "I'm here for the wrong reasons..."
"What do you mean?" Andre asked but she didn't want to tell them.
"Nothing" She simply said and then she heard her mom's voice, when she turned around she saw her and Nick coming so she sighed nervously, she just couldn't help it.
"Jade, honey" Melissa said gladly and hugged her but Jade didn't hug her back. "We've missed you so much" she informed.
"Hi sweetheart" Nick said nicely and hugged her. Jade found it so hard to keep herself from crying every time he touched her, she was frightened of him. "Oh honey, we forgot her presents in the trunk" he said to Melissa.
"True! We brought some things you might like" Melissa informed happily. "I'll go get them"
Beck and the rest of the gang had walked away because they didn't like being around Melissa and Nick but when Melissa left, Jade and Nick stayed alone and he took his mask off. "You look really pretty today" He commented as he put his hand on her waist and she tried to stay strong.
"Get away from me" Jade said when she reunited the courage to speak and pushed his hand away.
Jade tried to walk away but he grabbed her arm to stop her. "Hey, hey don't go so fast" He said. "How's therapy? Have you told anyone our dirty little secret?" He asked while holding her arm.
Beck was talking to Tori but then he looked back at Jade and realized Melissa was gone, he could see Nick standing right in front of her with his hand on her waist as she shook her head. "That bastard is molesting her again"
"Good, very good girl" Nick said as he stroked her face and rubbed her back. Beck was watching everything and he could see Jade was about to break out crying, he didn't understand why she was so sensitive but he didn't want her to deal with Nick anymore.
"Back off" Beck ordered. "Get away from her" He demanded and Nick smiled at him cynically.
"Why should I? Jade is fine, aren't you?" Nick asked her and kissed her head but it was like being near him completely paralyzed Jade, she couldn't even respond she was just shaking and trying her hardest not to cry.
"Get your hands off her right now or you're gonna regret" Beck threatened and Nick chuckled but then stepped back and let go of Jade, he simply winked and blowed a kiss at her before turning around; Beck wanted to beat the hell out of him but Tori stopped him.
"No, Beck, he is not worth it" Tori affirmed as Nick walked away. Jade took a deep breath to calm down and then looked at Beck and her friends who were staring at her as well.
"What was that, Jade? Why didn't you scream?" Beck asked confused and she looked to the other side. "We already know, you didn't have to pretend anymore"
"Yes, Jade, what happened? You usually yell at him" Tori commented. "What did he tell you? Did he threaten you?"
"No" Jade simply said, she was staring at Nick as he walked away and she could see him talking to Melissa, he said some things to her and Melissa waved at Jade before they left. "No..."
"Then why didn't you do anything?" Beck asked upset.
"Because... I wasn't doing anything bad" Jade said emotionlessly. "We were just... talking" she informed and they looked at each other confused.
"Just talking? You were about to cry" Beck affirmed.
"No, I wasn't" Jade said but she seemed so sad, she wasn't even trying to hide it. "We were talking, like father and daughter..." She commented sadly but with irony in her voice.
"What? What the hell are you talking about?" Beck questioned angrily and she simply looked back at him emotionlessly. "Like father and daughter? That man likes you in all ways except as a father! What's wrong with you, Jade? He was harassing you and you let it happen" He affirmed upset, he just couldn't understand her attitude and it frustrated him.
Jade was only staring at him without saying a single word and that was just making him angrier. "God, i don't even know what to tell you...He won't stop molesting you but you don't seem to want that either" Beck affirmed angrily.
"Beck!" Tori said in a warning tone because that was a very ugly thing to say but Jade was still just staring at him with an emotionless facial expression.
"No! No, Tori, it's the truth... she knows that we know and yet she doesn't do anything, she lets it all happen, she's basically agreeing to it" Beck commented madly. "This is why you're here. You've let it all happen, from the beginning; if you had been intelligent you would've asked one of us for help but no, you didn't do it then and you won't do it now, will you?" He asked but she was still just looking at him emotionlessly with a few tears in her eyes. "It's not even about intelligence, Jade, i feel you don't ask for help because you don't want help, it's like you want him to keep going!"
"Beck, that's enough!" Tori demanded upset and Beck looked down because he'd just realized the magnitude of what he'd said.
"I'm sorry, i did not mean to say that" Beck apologized.
"Yes, you did" Jade simply said and continued looking at the trees while the rest of the gang shook their heads at Beck madly. To see Beck so angry over Nick molesting her and the fact he thought she was guilty for it just made Jade feel worse and she could imagine him yelling at her if the truth came out; she'd made up several sceneries in her head where she told the truth but in all of them she was the one who lost the most so she preferred to stay quiet, especially after seeing Beck's reaction.
"Hi Jade, it's time for your therapy" A doctor said as he walked up to her. "I thought It'd be nice if we could chat out here"
"Whatever..." Jade responded and started walking away with him.
"Beck, you shouldn't have said that to her, it was mean" Tori affirmed upset. "Of course she is not agreeing to it and she doesn't want him to keep going!"
"Yes, Beck, you acted like an asshole" Andre added madly.
"I know but it makes me so angry to see her like this, she doesn't do anything to stop the harassment, it's frustrating" Beck responded.
"Still, do you realize you're talking a to a sexually harassed suicidal girl who is in a mental clinic? You can't talk to her like that, we don't know how she might take things" Andre affirmed and Beck sighed feeling really bad because what he was saying was true. "I don't think she's recovered yet, i don't even think she is recovering"
"Yes, i agree, It's been almost a month since Jade got here and she doesn't seem to get better, she is not the same since she woke up" Tori commented.
"I actually think she is getting worse... She never talks unless we ask her questions, she is always staring into space thinking about god knows what and you can see the sadness in her eyes and in her face all the time, it's not how she used to be at all" Andre added. "That girl is not Jade, she is a completely different person"
"So Jade is gonna be sad forever?" Cat asked sadly.
"No, Cat, she will get better, she has to get better" Tori said nicely and smiled at her.
"She always gets worse when Nick is around" Robbie commented.
"Yes, she does NOT want him around..." Tori said and looked at Beck upset.
"Yes, that bastard makes her so uncomfortable, every time I see them together I could swear Jade is about to crack, you can see it in her face...she tries to hide it but she is about to cry" Andre affirmed. "It's not normal to see her like that; the harassment must've been pretty bad when she was in the house"
"It really was, I witnessed it and Jade told me that there had been worse times" Tori commented. "But still, I don't understand why she doesn't yell at him anymore, all the times I saw them together she was usually insulting him and threatening him but now she just kind of panics"
"Maybe what happened made her more sensitive, almost dying must be quite an experience..." Andre said.
"Yes, maybe or maybe she just hid all these feelings in the past...somehow" Tori responded.
"If she's always been this uncomfortable while being with Nick then she hid her feelings pretty well" Robbie said.
"Yeah... she did" Beck affirmed as he looked at her from far away, he could see her thinking as the doctor spoke but it was obvious she wasn't even paying attention to him.
Next Monday the gang was at Beck's house working on a school project, Tori, Cat and Andre were writing the lyrics to the song, music wasn't Beck's thing so he was just watching and Robbie was working on his computer.
"What are you doing?" Beck asked Robbie curiously.
"I'm just getting rid of all the stuff I don't need" Robbie answered.
"What's that program for?" Andre asked curiously and pointed to the icon on Robbie's screen.
"Oh it's a program that records the screen and the sounds; I used it when I filmed tutorials for YouTube" Robbie answered.
"And why are you using it now?" Andre asked.
"I'm not but the program opens itself whenever I'm using the computer, it must be full of videos of things I'm never gonna use" Robbie commented. "I'm gonna delete it"
"Wait; was that program on the day of the video chat?" Tori questioned curiously.
"Yeah, I guess" Robbie said.
"That means that it recorded the moment when Jade tried to kill herself right?" Tori asked, he thought about it and nodded.
"Yes, yes that's true" Robbie said. "But, why? Do you guys want to see that?"
"Maybe that way we will understand her, maybe something happened and she did it in a moment of madness" Andre commented. "First, check and tell us if you have it" Robbie opened the program and he indeed found the video of that day.
"Yes, I have it" Robbie answered.
"I want to see it" Beck demanded "I need to see exactly what Jade did that night"
