Note: Sorry for not updating sooner. The freakin' hurricane knocked out my power…But thank God it came on last night in time for the VMA's. Did anybody watch 'em? Did you like Lady Gaga? Haha…It was weird, but the best. I'm a Little Monster, in case you couldn't tell. And a Cody Simpson Angel. And whatever Greyson Chance calls his fans. Ok, enough of this boring note. Here's the story.

"Hi Jade, I'm Cat," said the cheerful redheaded little girl from where she was standing inside Jade's hospital room. "We've already met, but you probably don't remember me at all. Which is pretty sad, but Robbie said that being sad about something doesn't make it better and he told me to just keep smiling and it would help. Robbie's another one of our friends, but you probably don't remember him either. You used to tease him sometimes, but you were pretty good friends before you got hit by that truck."

Cat paused and giggled insanely for a few moments. Beck shushed her by putting a hand on her shoulder.

Jade looked at Beck like, "are you seriously introducing me to this nutcase?"

Which made Beck pretty happy since that was the exact way she had looked at him when he had introduced her to Cat when she transferred to Hollywood Arts Middle School in sixth grade.

Beck and Jade, of course had gone to public elementary school together since Kindergarten. That's where they had met. Beck had liked Jade because, unlike every other little girl, she didn't spend recess playing jump rope or dress up, but instead playing with toy trucks. Jade liked Beck because he was the only boy who let her play with the trucks, and also because everyone else was scared of her. Including the teacher.

"Oooh, you're wearing the shirt I bought you," Cat squealed.

Jade looked down at her black t shirt with a bleeding heart on it. Then she looked at Cat's frilly pink tube top with frolicking ponies along the hem. This childish girl bought her the cool shirt?

"You bought me this?" She asked in surprise. "Did I pick it out?"

"Nope," said Cat. "I was just walking around the mall and then I saw it in Hot Topic and I was like, oh, Jade would like that and so I bought it and I gave it to you and then you gave me some candy that was in your monkey fur purse, remember?"

"No," she said. "I don't remember. I don't remember anything."

She rolled her eyes at Cat bitterly and crossed the room to sit by the window.

"Sorry," said Cat, her wide brown eyes filled with sadness. "Of course you don't remember. But that's okay. We can make a million more things for you to remember."

She gave Jade a hug around her shoulders. Jade was expecting her reflexes to kick in and her entire body to tense up like it did with everybody else, but it didn't. Jade actually didn't mind when this little girl touched her.

I like Cat, Jade decided as Cat pulled away. The way she seemed sad, not as though she felt bad for Jade, but she actually was sad. Like she felt Jade's pain. Although her clothes left something to be desired.

"Sorry I'm late," said a voice from the doorway as a skinny brown haired tan girl came in. She wore a dark blue tank top, super skinny jeans and Vans. She combed her fingers through her wavy brown locks.

Jade felt her stomach turn unpleasantly. Did she recognize this girl? For some reason, she didn't want her anywhere near Beck. Why was this? It was like somewhere in her brain she knew who this mysterious person was.

Beck looked at her wide eyed and whispered something into her ear. Jade felt her heart jump. She didn't like seeing them together. Why?

Beck had made it clear to her over and over again that they were just friends. She felt a little attracted to him, but obviously they were nothing more than friends. Jade had asked him once if she had had a boyfriend before the car accident. He had gone very red and avoided the question, so she let it drop.

The brown haired girl sort of rolled her eyes and made her way to Jade as Beck shook his head.

"Hi Jade," she said in an almost musical way. "My name's Tori. We were friends before the accident. How are you?"

She gave Jade a one armed hug and Jade felt the need to break away so she did.

"We were friends?" She asked, one eyebrow up.

Tori looked at Beck and Cat quickly and then back at Jade.

"Uh huh," she nodded.

Her whole personality irritated Jade. The way she walked, the way she flipped her hair and batted her eyelashes. She seemed like she was the kind of girl who thought she was better than everyone else. She seemed fake. And Jade liked the real deal. Maybe that's why she had taken to Cat.

"Beck, I thought you told me I never did drugs," Jade said, staring Tori down.

"You didn't," he said, puzzled.

"Then we couldn't have been friends," she said to Tori, fake sweetly.

Tori looked taken aback and Jade smiled triumphantly. Beck was fighting to keep his face straight, she could tell. And Cat was twisting her hair in her dream world.

"I just don't get it," said Tori, grumpily. "I try to be nice. That's it…." She quickly left the room with a slam of the door.

"I guess your personalities just don't mix," said Cat at last.

"Were we friends, or not?"

"Not really," said Beck.

"No," Cat. "But I think deep down you two are friends. Maybe."

"Well I don't like her," said Jade.

Beck burst out laughing, and Jade looked at him, puzzled.

Wasn't it funny how she automatically hated Tori? And her memory of every battle that had gone on between herself and Tori was gone. She just didn't like the way Tori was, simple as that.

Beck had never been so happy in his life to see Jade hate somebody.
