Jade banged on the thin wood after hearing a thud on the floor. The lock clicked open as Jade quickly turned the handle and running into the bathroom, where Cat was quietly crying on the floor. Jade walked over holding her, knowing what the tests said without even reading. She ran her fingers through her hair, trying to calm her down. Cat's tears began to dry when a knock came to the door.
"I got it," Cat said, wiping tears from her cheeks and stepping up from Jade's arms. She walked to the front door, opening to see Robbie. "Oh, hey Robbie, I forgot you were coming today."
"Cat, what's wrong?" Robbie already noticed, sitting down with Cat while Jade sat over next to Robbie.
"It's just…," Cat began, choking up again. "Nothing."
"Something is wrong, what's up?"
Cat ran out of the room, just as Jade walked out.
"What's wrong with Cat?"
"It's probably best she tells you, it's pretty big, and she's super nervous about it," Jade replied, sitting super close to Robbie. "Actually, I should probably go calm her down.
Robbie smiled. "Why don't you stay," he said, wrapping his arm around her waist.
Jade blushed, looking away from his face.
"Why haven't you talked to me since last time?" Robbie asked, a hint of sadness in his voice.
"I'm sorry, just school and taking care of Cat and everything."
"Understandable."
He leaned in, placing his hand on her cheek. He pulled her close, putting her lips to his. She opened her mouth, her hot breath going into his mouth. Perfect.
Cat sat behind the door, completely unaware of what was going on in her living room. She cried, wanting to talk to someone, so she leaned over and picked up her phone, dialing the most recent contact.
"Beck?"
"Cat, what's wrong?" Beck asked, hearing the red head crying through the phone.
"I just really want to talk to someone."
"What about?"
Cat took a deep breath before saying, "Beck, I'm pregnant."
She heard nothing over the phone for a moment, until he said, "You want to come over?"
"Yes please. Be there in five," she said, before hanging up the phone. Not wanting anything else, Cat grabbed her phone and car keys, walking out to see Jade lying on top of Robbie, their lips not breaking apart. Cat's jaw dropped as she watched her sister stick her tongue in her ex-boyfriend's mouth. For whatever reason, Cat began to cry again, unsure what to do. Jade opened her eyes just for a second, to see Cat standing there.
"Cat!" she yelped, quickly jumping off of Robbie. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know," she said before running out the door. She got into her car, driving through busy New York City to get to Beck's apartment. She pulled in, still crying, and rang the doorbell, where Beck immediately taking her into his arms and shutting the door. Beck took her to the couch, holding her, trying to get her to stop crying.
Why am I so upset? she thought. Was it the fact that Jade was making out with her ex? She was well over Robbie, but there was something in the way that they were so…together that made her mad and upset and…
"Jade and Robbie were kissing," she blurted into Beck's chest.
Beck pulled her away from him. "What?"
"I was walking out of our bedroom to come over here and they were literally on top of each other and it made me feel weird and-,"
"Whoa, whoa, calm down. Cat, after what you told me over the phone, it's probably just hormones. I don't know what they're up to, but whatever it's not my business."
"Sorry, I vented, I usually do it to Jade, but she is a little…occupied."
"I don't care, Cat, you're my best friend and you can do it anytime you want."
"I can?"
"Yep."
"Right now?"
"Right now."
She began crying again. "I don't want to be a mother, Beck," she began, looking up to Beck's eyes. "I'm only twenty, without a job, a house, a husband, or even a plan. I'm so scared and I just don't know what is really even going on right now."
Beck grew very serious, looking Cat straight at her. "Cat, you will be ready for whatever life throws at you. You're so much stronger then you think, and you will always have us. I believe that you can do this."
Cat smiled. She hugged Beck, just as the apartment door opened. Jade stood in the door way shocked.
"Cat?"
Cat pulled away, looking at Jade. "Jade, what are you doing here?"
"I got worried when you ran out like that?"
"What are you doing here?" Jade asked, Cat sensing a bit of an acid tone.
"Beck just wanted to hang out, so I came over."
"You're trying to get revenge, aren't you?"
"What are you talking about?" Cat asked, standing up.
"You saw Robbie and I and you thought you could just hook up with my ex like that, right?"
"First of all," Cat said, fighting fire with fire, "I was 'hooking up' with Beck. We were hugging Jade, is that not allowed anymore? Not to mention, even if I was, at least I wasn't sticking my tongue down his throat while you were just standing there! Common courtesy is to ask permission to make out with your sister's ex-boyfriend!"
"Don't yell at me, Cat! If you think you are going to get special treatment just because you are pregnant, you are dead wrong!"
Cat's jaw dropped at the tone the girl standing across from her head. Tears welled as she began to speak again. "I'm moving out," she whispered angrily.
"What?!"
"You heard me, I'm moving out."
"You can't just leave like that."
"Watch me. I'll head home and get my things, and be out in a few hours," she said.
"Cat," Jade said, beginning to realize what was actually happening. She looked desperately at Beck, who knew the situation was looking grim.
"Cat, you probably shouldn't move all that stuff by yourself, it'll be a lot of pressure on the baby. Maybe you should just go home and think on this, it might be a rash decision."
"I don't want to!" Cat yelled, still angry. "I want to go home, and get my things, and leave!"
"Where are you going to go?" he asked, keeping his cool.
She hesitated, unsure of how to answer the question. "I'll go to Andre's," she said, walking out the door.
Beck ran up and grabbed her arm. That's when he felt it. A spark. He was suddenly confused about his feelings. What just happened? he thought, actually growing dizzy at the feelings. Before he knew it, he was on the floor facing the ceiling, a beautiful Cat looking panicked. He smiled upon seeing her, wanting to reach up and just hold her close to him, and never let her go. What was going on?
"Beck, Beck," she said, though it sounded shushed.
Then the world went black.
