Note: Hello my dears! Here's the next installment of Starting Over: A Second Chance. By the way, I got a very low amount of reviews for the last chapter…Please review if you are reading! If you do, you get…RED VELVET CUPCAKES! Thanks!
"Beck Oliver to room 143, Beck Oliver to 143."
The announcement came over the loud speaker, just as Beck hung up from Andre. He had told Cat, Tori, Robbie, his mother, and Andre that Jade had been in an accident, but the only one he had gone into detail with was Andre. Tori had asked to come see Jade, as did Cat. He had told Cat that she could come in a few days, but he had gently told Tori no. Just because she had lost her memory didn't mean that they'd become BFF's.
Beck threw away the rest of his chips and chugged the last of his soda. The bubbled burned his throat as he threw away the empty bottle and started towards the room that Jade was in. He had been waiting for three hours to be called.
He quickly walked past the shiny doors and then he came to the private rooms. He knocked on 143 and pushed the door open impatiently.
Nurse Darla was folding piles of laundry and Doctor Melvin was writing on his notepad. Jade was nowhere in sight.
"Where is she?" Beck asked, sort of breathlessly.
"Who, Jade?" Asked the doctor without looking up.
"No, I'm looking for Kendall from Big Time Rush," Beck said, sarcastically, naming one of Cat's favorite shows. "Yes Jade."
"No need to be snippy," sighed Melvin, rubbing his shiny bald head with his sleeve.
Beck didn't respond, but gave Doctor Melvin his 'look'.
"She's changing into some real clothes," said Nurse Darla. She nodded towards Jade's private bathroom.
"Why?" Asked Beck. "I can just take her home and get her to change into her clothes."
The nurse and doctor exchanged a look, before the latter sighed and stood up.
"Look, Beck," he started. "We have Jade's results here."
"That's great," said Beck trying to see his clipboard. But the doctor shifted it to press into his white lab coat and Beck looked at him in question.
"What are the results?" He asked. "How long is she going to be like this?"
"Well…"
"You can tell me," said Beck. "I'm not a kid."
"It's just that Darla here tells me that you and Jade are very close."
"We are," said Beck. "All the more reason why you should show me the test results."
"I hardly think a person with no medical education at all would understand these," he said, shuffling the papers. "These figures are very complicated and they are coded in a way that you just would-"
"So just tell me," suggested Beck. "How long is her amnesia going to last?"
Before they could answer him, the door of the bathroom opened and Jade came out shyly. Her posture was hunched and she was holding the hospital gown in her hands tightly, nervously peering around out from under her freshly washed hair.
"Hi Jade," Beck said, taking a step towards her. She recoiled and jumped back.
Doctor Melvin placed a hand on his shoulder.
"She doesn't remember you, son," he said.
"Obviously," Beck snapped.
He didn't know why he was being mean to the doctor. Well, he knew, but he just didn't want to admit it to himself. It was because he was hurting inside that his girlfriend had no idea who he was. It was worse than when he and she fought. Because when they fought he generally didn't get a gaping pit of emptiness and loneliness in his stomach. Well, maybe he might get a little bit lonely, but he never felt like he was missing an entire part of him.
"Jade, honey," smiled Nurse Darla. "Come this way sweetie."
Beck felt a little jealous when Jade allowed Darla to take her hand and lead her around the corner to a small table where she sat Jade down and bustled out of the room to get Jade some dinner.
Jade sat on her hands and looked around nervously. Jade's eyes slid past Beck's fearfully, as if she was scared of him. Wait, she was scared of him. She had woken up and found him in her bed. Not to mention the fact that she had needles stuck in her arms and no idea who she was at the time.
Beck studied her for a moment. Her hair was tangled and damp and her eyes scared. Other than the fac that she was paler than usual and looked nervous, she looked just like usual. Well, without the scowl.
"Here you go honey," said Nurse Darla, coming back in with a tray of vegetables, a small steak and some mashed potatoes. She set it down in front of Jade with a fork, and Jade timidly started to eat as the Doctor studied her.
Beck knew that she hated potatoes almost as much as she hated Tori, and was shocked to see her lift a spoonful to her mouth. She ate it, before wrinkling her nose and taking a long swig of water.
The Doctor noted more on his clipboard.
"Does she dislike potatoes?" He asked.
"Yeah," said Beck.
He noted some more.
"Look," said Beck, as Nurse Darla started to comb Jade's hair. "Could you just tell me how long this is going to last?"
"Well, as you can see," said Dr. Melvin. "She knows what foods she likes and doesn't like, so she's not entirely gone. But, as for her personal memories…"
"How long?"
"…Forever…"
