I couldn't stand it any longer. I apologized to Tori quickly and I made a mad dash for the door. I walked down stair cases cautiously. I was about to go down to floor 2 when I heard the screams of pain. I know it wasn't my business but I poked my head into the room and I was astonished. I saw Jade screaming at the top of her lungs in pure pain. She had a gash in her forehead the size of Clea's hand. Bruises covered every inch of her visible body. She was coughing relentlessly. I noticed she was alone. I walked in.

The tears streamed down my face as I saw her, " Ja-ade are you okay?" My voice shook uncontrollably.

"Cat, he's safe. Aiden is okay. The police got him; he is alright now he will be back home with you. Jose is gone, long gone. They took him away. Aiden's alright." She cried but I could see the smile as she told me Aiden was okay.

"Wh..what? He is? Thank you Jade. Thank you Thank you, I can never repay you. You kept him safe I know you did. Where can I get him? But how are you? What happened?" I had so much joy, yet fear was undeniable in my voice.

"The police station they are going to call you. And Cat, you need to do nothing for me. You gave me a friend, and I would never let anything happen to Aiden anyway. I'm gonna be fine, don't worry about me." She coughed rapidly, I was worried.

"Jade, where are you gonna stay. You need somewhere safe. I have 2 extra rooms you can stay with me, I swear, please. The minute you get outta here." I pleaded with her. I had to have her stay with me. She did everything for me.

"Cat, thank you. In so many ways. I can't thank you enough. If you really mean it, I'll stay. Thank you Cat, Oh and Aiden acts just like you." She smiled as she spoke. It was then where I got a good look at her.

Her hair had purple streaks that seemed new. The gash in her forehead had a bandage over it. Dried blood streaks stood out too me. She had a black eye and a cut lip. But it was her eyes that got to me. Her crystal blue eyes has hope in them. Even in her current state she was hopeful. That was something about Jade, you rarely saw.

" Jade why were you screaming, to yourself in here?" I questioned.

"Because well one I'm in more pain than I ever experienced. And two this is the same exact hospital my son died in. It brings back all those memories of that awful day. It is too unbearable for me." I saw her tears start to free fall. I told her I was sorry.

Then I got a call. The police. They were in the children ward of the hospital. Aiden was being examined then he was being returned to me.

" Jade, I'll be back in a few minutes." I ran upstairs.

Aiden was in room 457. I ran to the door. Unannounced I ran in and grabbed him.

"Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. I missed you so much come on, were going home." I held him close to me and wasn't letting go, I was stopped by the police.

" Ma'am, could you sign these papers and answer a few questions?" I nodded and complied. Then he was mine. But I didn't leave the hospital. I took him to Jades room.

" Come on baby, we are gonna go see someone." I told him. I didn't put him down; he just nodded and kept quiet.

As we turned into the room, Aiden jumped out of my arms and ran to Jade. He jumped into her arms and hugged her. My heart swelled at the sight.

" Momma, you know her? She was nice to me mommy." Aiden told me in a small broken voice.

" I know baby, shes my best friend." I didn't have the ability to tell him that without her he wouldn't be back with her.

Jade spoke up, " See, I told you, you would be back with your mommy, didn't I?" Aiden smiled and rapidly nodded.

" Well I'm gonna go to take Aiden home. Thank you Jade." She smiled back at me. I was on my way out but a nurse walked into the room before I could leave. I backed into the corner and listened.

The nurse spoke up, " Well, you're doing okay. You're gonna have to stay for a few more days. It was a close call but luckily your baby is okay too…"
