Note: This story isn't going to be as long as some others I wrote. I hope to have it done by the time I start school, and that's next Wednesday. Ugh! I'm sooo not looking forward to that. Anyway, I'll make sure to make it as good as possible, so don't stop reading…

"Forever?" Beck asked.

"That's what the results said," the doctor nodded grimly. "I'm sorry, son."

Beck couldn't believe it. All of his time with Jade…It was all for nothing. She had no idea who he was. She had no idea that they were in love. That he and she had spent countless hours together kissing and laughing and kissing some more. It was all gone, in one accident. One fight…One mistake…

It was all Beck's fault. If he had only driven her home that night…She would have been ready to make-up in the morning. She'd snuggle up to him and he'd kiss her. They wouldn't talk and be all mushy, because Jade hated to be emotional. They wouldn't have a heart-to-heart, but somehow they would both know that everything was better…At least until their next fight, when the cycle would start all over.

But when making up felt so good, sometimes it was worth the fight.

Beck knew in his heart and in his head that he would never find another Jade. A soul mate came once in a lifetime. Jade came once in a lifetime. And he wouldn't let her slip through his fingers. Even if the odds were against him, he'd keep on fighting.

"Can I stay here?" Beck asked. "And sort of…help her regain her memory?"
"I don't know," shrugged the doctor.

Nurse Darla heard him and immediately stood up from where she was chatting with Jade.

"Of course he can stay here if he wants to," she said.

"Wouldn't that violate the restrictions of code-"

"He's the only person here who can help her remember who she is," she said. "I reckon he may be the only one in the world who knows everything about her. She needs a caretaker, anyway. I mean, I can only help so much. I'm a nurse, after all. But since the board spent all the money on-"

"So I can stay?" Interrupted Beck.

"Of course," said Nurse Darla, just as Doctor Melvin said "We'll see."

The chubby woman glared at him over her glasses.

"Of course you can, Beck," she repeated.

"Thanks so much," said Beck, relieved. He quickly gave the nurse a one-armed hug and glanced at Jade. She had finished her food and was looking around the room curiously. "Uh…" said Beck. He felt odd. "Nurse Darla?" He asked.

"Please just call me Darla," she smiled.

"Darla? Could you…introduce me to Jade?"

"Sure," beamed the friendly nurse. She linked arms with him and they walked to Jade together. Her eyes lingered on Beck for a moment longer than normal.

"Jade?" Darla asked.

"Yes?" Jade responded. Her voice sounded softer and less angry than it had previously. "This is somebody very special in your life. His name is Beck. Before you got into the accident, he was your b-"

"Best friend," Beck whispered quickly. He didn't want to lie to her, because technically they had broken up. He wasn't her boyfriend anymore and to tell her otherwise would be a lie.

"Oh," she said, but she still looked a little bit scared of him.

Beck sat down at the table across from her and smiled gently, so she would know not to be scared. She didn't return the smile, but glanced up at him, one eyebrow raised. He knew that expression. It meant that she was evaluating him. Maybe she wasn't so different after all.

Beck spent the next two weeks sleeping in the hard uncomfortable chair by Jade's bedside. He spent his day talking with Jade and helping her remember who she was. He told her a lot about Cat, and she seemed vaguely interested.

He found out that she really wasn't too different than when she first got into the accident. She was still moody sometimes. Her personality wasn't gone. She made plenty of witty comments that cracked Beck up.

Sometimes when they were together, Beck would look up and see her studying him with a little smile on her mouth. It was moments like these when he'd forget that she had gotten into the accident and smile back. He felt connected to her, just like he had when they were dating.

Beck was waiting for Jade to change into her pajamas one night when his phone rang. He had been virtually ignoring all his friends, but decided to take this call.

"Hi Cat," Beck said.

"Hey!" She said, sounding happy. "You answered. How's Jade doing?"

"Good, I think," said Beck.

"Can I come see her soon?"

Beck thought for a moment.

"You know," he said at last. "I think she'd like that. I've been telling her all about you."

"Really?" Cat cooed. "That's so nice. Does she, like, wanna meet me? I mean, she's already met me of course, but she doesn't really remember me, right? We could hang out and we can re-meet."

"You're taking this a lot better than I thought," said Beck, sounding impressed. "Maybe you can come by tomorrow?"

"Sounds great!' Cheered Cat. "See you then."

Beck heard her scream excitedly, before chuckling and hanging up his phone just as Jade came out of the bathroom, a pair of her own PJ's (Which Beck had gone and brought from her house) on.

"Jade," he said, smiling. "How would you like to meet somebody?"
