You all make my day every time I'm depressed and ready to scream.
Mossdawn: FanFiction has always been something that's mine…out here in real life, nothing is sacred to me. Nothing is just me. I have no privacy, I have no control over anything, and now that I'm a mom, I'm never going to be alone ever again. I love my son, don't worry. But that's why I'm on here. I don't watch the show that much, but my younger brothers do, and I thought Beck and Cat were cute. I love writing and I love writing on here…I still get praise in my talent. And I get to read other people's gifts of writing. And I'm not old. I'm still living with my mommy because I need help raising Nathaniel, working a retail job, a country songwriter, online college, and raising my younger brothers and son while my mom works 16 hour days. I'm my mom's little girl, who made a immature mistake, but now I have a blessing named Nathaniel. That's how old I am.

Yours to Hold
You're going through so much
But I know that I could be the one
To hold you

Beck woke up, his eyes wincing from the brightness of the light above his eyes. He put an arm over his eyes to hide the blindness. "Where am I?" He whispered, and cleared his throat since he sounded so raspy. He tried to sit up, but a hand held him down. He looked up a little and saw Mr. Vega turned the light down a little dimmer. "Sir, where am I? Where's Cat?"
"She's safe and recovering still." He said in a soft voice. "She's highly protected, just like you are. Don't worry."
Beck gulped. "You sure?"
Mr. Vega nodded. "I'm positive. I used to bodyguard with these guys back…well, you don't need a history lesson. Let's just say, these old friends of mine have plenty of experience in bodyguarding."
Beck nodded and tried to relax. "As long as she's alright, I'm alright." He sighed. "You haven't answered my question yet, Mr. Vega."
Mr. Vega rubbed his lips together before answering. "Let's just say you're in a hospital."
Beck was confused. "What hospital?"
"Well, Beck, this hospital is one of those kinds of locations of if I tell you, I'd have to kill you." Mr. Vega bluntly said, and Beck nodded in understanding.
"Why are we in a secret hospital?" Beck asked, trying to adjust his pillow himself through the pain.
Mr. Vega narrowed his eyes at Beck. "Why do you think? You're a wanted criminal, Beck."
Beck's eyes widened dangerously. "Again? What the hell have I done?"
"Beck, you killed a man back in Hollywood." Mr. Vega saw the realization in Beck's eyes. "Or…was it Cat?"
"What?"
"Beck, we searched the local park and we found the gun you used to kill the man. The gun you bought, the gun you kept in your house, and the gun had your fingerprints…and Cat's." Mr. Vega stared at Beck. "You need to tell me who killed the man. Was it you or Cat?"
Beck glared. "It was me. Cat heard someone break in, and got the gun from the closet, but the guy took advantage of her! I came home to find him having his way with her, so I grabbed the gun from when she dropped it! We fought over the gun after he jumped on me, and I thought he shot Cat when the trigger went off, but…it hit a vase instead."
"You were blinded by anger."
"And fear." Beck added. "The gun went off, Cat screamed and she was holding her stomach…I just…" Beck cleared his throat. "Anyways, after I got the gun from him, I shot him three times. It was defense. I was protecting my wife and son."
"Why did you run then?"
Beck scoffed. "Everyone knew what our family had been going through, including being stalked and living in fear. If I suddenly said I killed a man who intruded into our home, anybody could've just rolled their eyes and said I was paranoid."
Mr. Vega nodded "You have a point there." He sighed deeply. "Beck, you guys running only put you as a bigger suspect. Cat too, since her fingerprints are on the gun as well. They could say you're innocent and just protecting Cat. The judicial system can turn anything around."
Beck's heart almost stopped. The thought of Cat getting thrown in prison for a crime she didn't commit was an unbearable nightmare. "She didn't do it." He whispered.
Mr. Vega put a hand on Beck's shoulder. "I know. I believe you."
Beck groaned, rubbing his face with his hands. "I don't need this right now! I have much bigger issues than this, sir."
"I know you do." He nodded. "That woman is really set on killing you both."
"Not me, just Cat." Beck told him. "She…well…it's a long story. Let's just say she wants revenge for something I did, but she decided instead of hurting me, physically, she's going to take away the person most precious to me."
Mr. Vega's eyes widened. "Cat."
He nodded. "My wife." Beck suddenly ripped his IV out of his arm and sat up, anger flashing in his eyes once again.
Instead of freaking out like Beck figured he would, Mr. Vega sighed deeply again. "And now you're going to pull the "Macho Man" act and go find the woman, kill her, and run from the world with Cat and Julian…correct?"
Beck nodded. "Yeah…and…I think I'll just leave. Cat would never let me go if I told her, so…"
Mr. Vega gave him a nod, as Beck began getting dressed. "I'll tell her." He went to leave the room. "Good luck, Beck." And shut Beck's hospital room door behind him.
Soon Beck was walking out of the hospital and realized he was in a mysterious town, but he saw a rental place for cars, so he'd do that. Before he could walk any further, he heard a noise.
"BECK!" His wife's voice…
Beck turned around and saw Cat struggling to run out the double doors in her hospital gown. Mr. Vega ran after her and held her up when she almost collapsed. Beck took a good look at her as he ran back to her. She was bruised and bandaged, and weak. Her body was so thin and her eyes were drained.
Beck ran up to her. "Cat, what-"
"Don't leave me!" She screamed, clinging to him. "You can't do this! Take me with you!"
Beck stared at her in disbelief. "Cat, you're too weak and-"
"YOU'RE BREAKING YOUR PROMISE TO ME!" She screamed out sharply. "After I was rescued from the vaults, you promised me that you'd NEVER leave me again! You can't break promises, Beck! YOU CAN'T!"
Beck felt his heart breaking. "Cat…I have to go. I have to protect you and Julian." Her violent sobs didn't cease. "I'm sorry. I hate to break this promise, but I must."
She punched his chest with her tiny fists. "You jerk! You complete jerk! How dare you leave me!" And suddenly she collapsed and Beck fell with her. "Stay…"
Beck kissed her forehead as she passed out. "I love you, Cat." He looked up to Mr. Vega. "Take her back in please. Protect her."
Mr. Vega took Cat out of Beck's arms and nodded. "You have my word, Beck. She'll be safe. Just come back, please."
Beck nodded. "I will."
Thanks again for the reviews.
Please keep reviewing! No flames though. PLEASE. I'm suffering from depression and frustration right now.

PREVIEW FOR CHAPTER 21: Take
BOOM
Suddenly Mr. Vega and Cat were in the middle of a bomb war here. Mr. Vega coughed loudly, groaning in pain as everything in the room was on fire, but he saw two men and a blonde woman walk in with guns. The two men walked to Cat.
Mr. Vega growled. "Don't you dare-"
BANG!
Cat had wide eyes, still coughing from the smoke. "NO! MR. VEGA! MR. VEGA!"
