There was a knock at the door, though it didn't bother the two patients. Jade walked into the hospital room, trying to mend her argument with her sister, seeing her ex boyfriend and sister holding each other.
"Cat?"
Cat pulled away longingly, looking to the girl and snapping back into what was going on.
"Hi, Jade."
"How could you?"
"Jade…I can explain," Cat started, but she couldn't finish as Jade ran out of the room crying.
Cat looked to Beck in panic, as he did the same.
"I'll be right back," Cat said, running out of the room in her hospital gown.
"Jade!" she screamed, going from empty room to empty room. "Jade!" She finally opened the right one, seeing Jade ripping apart a pillowcase with a pair of scissors. "Jade, you have to listen to me."
"There is nothing for you to say. You were clearly making out with my ex boyfriend without permission."
"Like you have room to talk."
Jade pursed her lips. "Maybe it was a good idea for you to move out."
"Maybe it was," Cat said, tears brimming in her eyes. "You're supposed to my sister Jade, to support me. I have always been there for you, when have you been there for me?"
"Who was the one holding you when you found out you were pregnant Garrett's baby?"
"Who was the one at home while I was at the party?"
"Cat, that was stupid of you."
"I didn't know any better! I've never been anywhere without you, Jade! I look to you to keep me safe, and you haven't been doing a very good job."
"I hate you, Cat. Get out of here."
"I'm the hospital patient, you get out!" Cat screamed, running out of the room despite her words. She ran all the way to her room, throwing herself to Beck.
"What happened?" Beck asked.
"She hates me, Beck. She really hates me," she cried into his shoulder.
"Cat, I don't think she hates you."
"I know she does, she said it right to my face."
"She did?" he asked, pulling her away from him.
"To my face."
"Don't worry about what she says," he whispered, pulling her back in to his hard chest. "Let's change the subject."
"Kay-Kay."
"How was the kiss?"
Cat sniffled and giggled. "Wonderful. I've always had this weird feeling about you, who knew it could be this." Beck smiled, kissing the top of her red head. It felt so perfect, as if time had stopped to allow the boy and girl in the hospital gowns to sit on the wheelchair and share the perfect moment.
"Cat, would you like to go on a date with me?"
"Gladly."
Jade sat in the room, slightly in awe of what had just happened, still tearing apart a pillowcase. She can't believe she had just said that. Her sister had always been there to support her, and now Cat had nowhere to live. She was about to get up when Robbie walked in.
"Hey," he said, sitting down next to her. "What's wrong?"
"I just told Cat that I hate her."
"Well, why would you do that?"
"She was acting like a hormonal bitch, and I just got caught up in the moment."
"You have to remember she's carrying your niece or nephew, she's going to be hormonal."
"I know, I just…I don't know."
"Well, no matter what happens with Cat, you'll always have me."
"Always?"
"Always," he whispered, pulling her closer to him, kissing her sweetly.
Cat lay sleeping in Beck's bed, as the two men moved her small amount of things into their apartment.
"So you and Cat, huh?" Robbie asked with a smile.
Beck chuckled, putting Cat's chair in place close to his. "I think so. I feel so different about her Robbie."
"That's what you said about Jade."
"I know, but this feeling is nothing like Jade. When I was with Jade, it was as if…as if she was convincing me that I liked her, it wasn't just me wanting to be with her. I finally came back to reality," he finished, sitting down on the couch and taking a drink of water.
"I follow you, man. Oh, and Beck?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't worry; I give you full permission to date my ex."
Beck walked into the room after everything of Cat's was situated, ready for their date. "Ready, Red?"
"Ready!" she said, standing up from the bed wearing a pink dress that tickled her knees and silver flats.
"Well, doesn't someone look lovely this evening?"
Cat blushed. "Thank you, I'm enjoying wearing my own clothes until I get all fat and gross."
"Hey," Beck said, bending down to her height. "Don't say that about yourself. Even when you are farther along, you will still be glowing and beautiful."
She smiled, widely, intertwining her fingers in his. He smiled, leading her to the front door.
"Bye, Robbie, don't wait up," Beck winked at Robbie. Robbie smiled.
"Have fun." The couple walked out of the door, leaving Robbie alone. He pulled out his PearPhone, pressing the number on speed dial. "Jade? Yeah, come on over."
Beck kept Cat blindfolded after dinner, driving her to a "secret destination".
"Can I take it off now?" she asked with a smile on her face, obviously excited. Beck put the car in park, turning toward Cat though she couldn't see him.
"Not yet," he said, getting out and helping Cat out on her side. He took her head, leading her out into an almost plush, good smelling meadow filled with people. Beck lead Cat right to the center, laying down a blanket, helping her down to the ground. He laid down himself, putting his hand back in hers. "Alright, undo your blindfold." Cat ripped it off her head, just in time to see a firework show begin in Central Park.
"Whoa," she whispered, awe covering her face. Different pictures flew around the sky, making colors stain the sky. Beck drew closer to her, asking if she liked the show. She nodded, still in shock of everything going on around her. "It's beautiful," she whispered. She looked to Beck, who looked at her with a silly grin on his face. It was different from Jade, but maybe that wasn't such a bad thing.
