Note: Hi! Thanks for all the reviews guys, and sorry if it's too short, but I have a life. Haha. Just kidding, I'm just lazy. Anyway, I hope you like it!

The doctor pushed the polished wooden door open and stepped inside. He lingered in the doorway, before signaling Beck that he'd let him inside in a moment. Beck caught a glimpse of white walls and he caught the heavy smell of hand sanitizer, light bleach, and linoleum.

The smell of hospital.

Jade hated the smell of hospital.

Beck tapped his foot impatiently, staring at the door and the shiny gold room number. Apparently his girlfriend was in 143. That was the same number on his RV, he noted absently.

"Beck?" Asked the doctor, poking his shiny bald head out of the door. "You can come in."

"Thanks," Beck said, pushing past the doctor into the room.

"She gets a private room," said Doctor Melvin. "She might need to stay awhile." The walls were empty and generic, the floor carpeted in a dull grey-blue, the white overhead lights much too bright. She had a window, at least. It had a dusty curtain hanging, split down the middle so the rain splattered window peeked out.

As she was on the top floor, the rain pounding on the ceiling overhead was almost deafening.

Jade was lying in a cold metal posted bed amongst graying sheets. Her head rested upon a single pillow. Her wrist had a needle n it, connected by a tube to a bag of clear liquid. She was also connected

Her head was wrapped in bandages as a nurse sponged her forehead with a cool cloth. Beck's stomach turned when he saw that there was a pile of bloody bandages at the nurse's feet.

Jade's body was hidden under the sheets, but he could imagine her in a hospital gown with a sling around her collarbone.

Beck couldn't speak. He could only imagine what Jade would be saying if she was conscious. The lady sponging her wouldn't be touching her at all. She wouldn't be lying down, but instead sitting up and complaining.

Beck missed her already.

"So, she's unconscious?" Beck asked at last, stating the obvious.

The doctor nodded and stared sympathetically at Beck.

"Is she going to be like that awhile?" Beck asked.

"We think she'll be like this as her body gets over the shock, but in the ambulance she was alert. However, she had no idea who she was, so that's how we know she's got amnesia. The good news is that she's breathing on her own. We're waiting for test results to come in and they will tell us whether or not they're permanent."

Beck nodded.

"And we can't get in contact with her father. Did she mention anything to you about where he was going and when he'll be back?"

"No," he said, slowly shaking his head. "But I saw him yesterday afternoon…He was getting into his car and he had a suitcase along with his briefcase."

Beck realized that it was pretty dumb for him not to have realized that he was going away on business.

"So more or less he was on a business trip?" Asked Dr. Melvin. "Do you know where he works?"

"No," said Beck. The man sighed. "Sorry. But he and Jade aren't really that close."

"Oh," said the man realizing. "So she's not close to either of her parents?"

"Nope," said Beck, a pang of sympathy for his girlfriend. His parents were very supportive, not to mention rich. Jade's dad also had tons of money, but she had no access to it. He had stopped giving her allowance when she was twelve, and since then she had pretty much had to steal it from his room when he wasn't looking. It wasn't like he'd even notice if a hundred or two would disappear.

"So when will the test results come in?" Beck asked.

"Tomorrow," said the doctor. "It takes a little bit of time. And I don't know how we'll even get the information to her father."

"Why does he need to know?" Spoke up the nurse. "It seems like this young lady pretty much takes care of herself."

"Yeah," said Beck. "She does."

Jade did whatever the hell she wanted when she wanted, with no limits or control. It was one of the things Beck loved most about her.

"Well, then I think section thirty eight in our handbook applies to her case, doctor," the nurse said in a nasally voice.

"I agree," said Dr. Melvin. "And she is seventeen years old."

Beck was lost. All he wanted to do was know if Jade would be okay, and even if she was okay, would she remember him?

"Dr.?" Beck asked. "Uh, if she does have permanent amnesia, exactly how much will she forget?"

"Well, that's another thing that the test results will tell us," said Doctor Melvin. "She could forget as little as people's names, or she could virtually lose her memory completely."

Beck gulped.

"Completely?"He asked. "Like, she won't know how to walk or talk or anything?"

"That's very extreme," said the Doctor, avoiding Beck's question and clearing his throat.

"But it could happen?"

The man rubbed his bald head and looked at Beck and nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry, but it's most definitely a possibility."

"Right," said Beck, even more dizzy than before he entered. "And by the way, who did this?"

He couldn't believe that he could forget such an important detail.

"We've got no way of knowing," said the Doctor. "But an investigation is out of the question."

Beck wondered why they didn't want to know who caught this person, so he asked.

"Well, she's a minor," he said. "And that would be a court case. If she wanted she could press charges if she ever gets better, or her guardian could."

Beck had a hard time believing that Jade's dad would bother even asking what happened if his daughter lost her memory.

Damn, why couldn't he be more involved? Beck felt like he was the one in charge of her while she was like this. And he was only seventeen!

"So, can I stay until the test results are in?"

Note: I had to end it there…Because I'm a bad person. I know a few of you want the other characters, so we'll see what happens. But they wouldn't be involved until later. I love Cat, so she'll find her way in this story, I'm sure of it. Review or I write…slowly….
