Sorry for not updating in a long time...I had my cousins wedding and I was a bridesmaid and I've been gone for the past 4 or 5 days between rehearsal dinners and fittings and the wedding and having tot stay at my cousin's house. Anyway, I'm here now. That last bit of that chapter came out of nowhere so I don't know where this is going to go let's just see what happens.

Jade POV

What? My mom? No! NO WAY! She can't do that! She can't ignore me and then come asking to see me. No, that's not OK!

"What? No, no, no, no!" I screamed. I was still in the hospital bed with Beck sitting next to me.

"Jade, calm down." He warned.

"No!" I yelled. He shushed me motioning to the fact that the nurse and my mom were right outside the door. "She can't do that!" I angrily whispered.

"Did she hurt you? I thought it was just your dad?" Beck asked confused.

"No-" I tried to defend myself.

"Then she didn't do anything, you need to give her a chance." Beck scolded like I was six.

"Exactly, she didn't do anything! She let him hurt me!" I shot back.

"Maybe she didn't know." Beck tried to reason. He always tried to give people the benefit of the doubt. How could she not know? I mean did she not hear my screams, the bangs, the breaking glass. Did she notice I haven't been home in like three weeks? I don't think so.

"Of course she knew!" I growled. I would've said more but then the nurse entered.

"Um, Jade's mother would like to see her alone." The nurse said in a falsely sweet voice.

"Oh no," I groaned as the nurse left. Beck kissed my forehead and then got up to leave. "Don't go! Pleeeeaaaassseeee!" I tried.

"I have to!" Beck yelled putting his arms up in defense. "You'll be fine!"

"No, Beck, please don't-" I tried but he just winked at me and left. I sulked back in my bed and waited for hell to start. My mom walked in in an long jacket coat thingy that looked like it cost $500, channel sun glasses, and really high boots. I always thought the only reason she was with my dad was for money. I couldn't see her expression because her each lens of her glasses was dark and the size of her head.

"Jadelyn," She greeted coldly.

"Mom," I said annoyed. She sat down in a chair across from me. "OK, can we get on with this because there are a lot of other people that actually want to see me." I looked at her to see some sort of expression. My mom was pretty unpredictable, she could yell at me, she could hit me, she could roll her eyes, or she could leave. What happened I did not expect.

She started crying.

Crying.

I sat in my chair shocked, not sure what to do.

"I'm sorry." She sobbed. "This is my fault, I was such a horrible mother."

"Yeah, you kinda were." I agreed.

"I mean, I just let him hurt you and I didn't even care when you were gone for like three weeks. You shouldn't think that I don't want to visit you." She cried.

"But you don't." I said.

"Oh please, we both know that if I didn't want to I wouldn't have come." She said rubbing her eyes with a tissue.

"Wait, you mean you wanted to visit me?" I asked now insanely confused.

"Yes! I've been such a bad mother and even if you don't believe me deep don I do love you."

"Yeah reeeaaalllyyyy deep down." I said.

"I know, its too deep. So things are going to change. I'm going to be a better mom." She said sincerely. I almost believed her, but how could I? I couldn't expect her to just change now. It just wasn't going to be happen. Besides, better is a vague word.

"What's better? Texting me once a week?" I shot back, no way was I forgiving her.

"No, I'm going to pay more attention to you and care for you. I'm going to start talking to you and I'll make and have dinner with you and I'll come to your plays and make sure you're OK. I know you love Beck but in my attempt to be a better mother you have to get permission before you can spend the night with him. From now on I'm going to know where you are. I know it's hard to believe me but I'm going to do it." She sobbed.

"Thank you." I breathed. All my life that's the only thing I wanted. To just have a little bit of caring from my parents.

"Thank you for forgiving me, I'm so sorry." She said.

"I haven't forgiven you, I'm just giving you another chance." I said, I was not turning soft.

"I love you." She smiled.

"I wish I could say the same." I frowned. "And who nows, if you actually come through with this, maybe I will be able to."

My mom smiled at me, hugged me, and kissed my forehead. Then she left, I doubt she'll succeed but whatever. At least she somewhat tried.
