I was hoping to update this yesterday for bade week, but that's okay. im really excited for this story. let me know what you think :)

disclaimer still applies.

p.s. i'll be crying while watching victorious tomorrow. just saying.

Just as Beck woke up, a nurse came into the room to check on him. Seeing his conscious state, she quickly called for the doctor and Jade was rushed out of the room. She did not protest because she knew it was all for Beck's safety, but she made sure to growl at the nurse that had pushed her out. It wasn't until after school the next day that he was allowed visitors. Yes, Jade was forced to go to school. Luckily, there wasn't much work done at Hollywood Arts because she was finding it extremely difficult to concentrate.

Andre offered to drive everyone to the hospital and Jade agreed to ride with them all. Jade didn't speak much on the way over, but no one really expected her to. They found a spot and filed out of the car, going to the same room as the previous day. They found Mr. and Mrs. Oliver inside. Jade was trying to avoid the situation at hand. He didn't remember her. How far back could he remember?

"It's so nice of you all to visit!" Mrs. Oliver gushed. She then spoke in a quiet voice, not wanting Beck to hear. "You'll all have to introduce yourselves. He can't remember anything." Her grave tone became lighter once more. "Beck's moving to another room after tonight, since he's doing better. They just want to keep an eye on him tonight." She informed, promising to let at least one of them know the new room number. She turned back to her son. "Beck, sweetheart, all your friends are here to say hello."

"Hi Beck!" Cat bounced, waving at him.

"That's Cat." Andre informed from the foot of the bed where they were gathered. "And I'm Andre. Glad you're okay, man."

"I'm Robbie." Robbie smiled. "What about me?" Rex asked from Robbie's hand. "Oh, this is Rex." Beck gave them a weird look, but everyone just shrugged as if it was totally normal to have a puppet on your hand.

"I'm Tori." Tori shot him a smile.

Before Jade spoke, Beck jumped in. "You were here the other day, right?" He asked this, but began coughing because of the dryness in his throat. "Hey, Tori, could you hand me my water?" He asked, clearing his throat and pointing to the table beside his bed, just out of reach.

"Oh, uhm, sure." Tori squeezed past Robbie and grabbed the drink, holding it out to Beck. Jade watch as Beck's hand lingered over Tori's for a bit longer than it should have. When he gave her a bright smile and a thank-you, Jade couldn't take it. She turned on her heel and left the room. Andre went to go after her, but decided it was best to let her let off some steam.

"Is something wrong?" Beck asked, seeing the upset look on some of their faces.

Andre stepped in. "That was Jade. I know you don't remember this, man, but she's your girlfriend." Beck didn't really understand. "I think you asking for Tori's help upset her." He tried to clarify. Beck now seemed to understand and look of guilt spread across his face.

Out in the hall, Jade slid down the wall, letting her head fall into her hands. This was all too difficult.

"Jade." A voice spoke softly from beside her. "Beck feels bad. He wants to talk to you. We all think it'd be good for you two to talk alone."

"Look Tori, you have no idea-"

"Jade, just talk to him." With that, she walked towards the waiting area where they all sat yesterday. Jade stood up and brushed herself off. As she entered the room, the others left. She looked at Beck in his hospital bed. This felt different, like talking to a stranger.

Jade was about to make up some lame excuse as to why she left the room, but even though she felt like he was a stranger, she couldn't lie to him. He was still Beck.

"I'm sorry if what I did hurt you. I wasn't trying to. I didn't even know you were my girlfriend." Beck tried to apologize.

"It's no big deal." Jade tried to brush it off. "It's not your fault."

Silence filled the room for a few minutes. Beck spoke up. "I don't really know what to do in a situation like this."

"Oh and I do?" Jade retorted.

"I never said that." Beck defended. "I just meant that I have no idea who I am. The doctor says I'll regain my memory, but it doesn't feel like it. I don't remember anything. It's kind of frustrating when people act like I should know stuff, when I don't even know my own birthday."

Silence filled the room again. The words started to sink in for Jade.

"You really don't remember anything?"

"No." Beck said, frustrated.

"Nothing from our relationship? I don't look familiar at all to you?"

Beck didn't want to hurt her feelings again, but he had to be honest. "I'm sorry, but no. The only time I remember seeing you is when I woke up." It was as if he could see the blow he had made.

"I should go." And with that, Jade left the room. Beck wondered when she'd be back, if she'd even be back.

Jade did a lot of thinking throughout the next day. She didn't want to go back to see Beck because, honestly, what happened the previous day really hurt. She wasn't sure she could handle another day of it, but she finally decided that if she wanted things back to the way they were, which she did, she could only keep trying.

The other guys decided they'd visit twice a week until he was home because it took too much time and gas to get to the hospital, but Jade didn't mind. Mrs. Oliver had given her Beck's new room number and she had just finished asking a nurse at the nurse's station outside of the elevator on the new floor. As she went towards his room, she swung her black lanyard around in her hand, the keys making noises as they crashed against each other. Entering his room, she didn't see his parents.

"They abandoned you already?" Jade asked as she set her keys on the table set up by his bed. He was sitting up watching something on TV. Out of habit, Jade felt the urge to walk over and kiss him, but she had to remind herself not to. He obviously wasn't ready for that. He barely knew anything about her right now.

"Don't worry about my feelings." Beck answered back, showing his usual sarcastic attitude. This made Jade smile.

"How was school?" Beck asked, trying to make conversation. "I'm assuming you were in school today."

"I guess I forgot to tell you." Jade said in a shocked tone. "I dropped out of high school to raise our child." She watched Beck's face grow terrified and began laughing loudly. "Of course I was in school, idiot."

He reached over to playfully hit her. "Not funny!" He was laughing too, so Jade knew she hadn't gone too far.

"School was school." She continued, answering his question. "You're not missing much."

He nodded at this, switching off the television so they could talk.

"So what do you think of your new room?" She asked.

"I'm glad I don't have to share it."

"If you had a cranky old roommate, I'd probably be here more."

"You've been here every day." He retorted.

"I'd stay longer." She fought back. Just then, a nurse came by to check on Beck.

"Is there anything I can get you to drink?" The nurse questioned.

"He likes lemonade." Jade answered instinctively. The nurse then continued to look over at Beck, as if for verification.

"What she said." He answered, shifting his weight a little in the bed. The nurse left the room and it fell silent. Jade stood up, headed towards the door. "Where are you going?" Beck cried out, scared she was leaving.

"To get coffee." See said over her shoulder in a tone that implied it was obvious. When she returned ten minutes later, Beck was almost exactly how she had left him, but he was now holding a can of lemonade.

She sat back down in her chair and crossed her legs, holding her cup in both hands, enjoying the warmth.

"Since you know all about me, mind telling me something about yourself?" He asked between taking sips. He set his can down on the table between them.

Jade thought of what she could possibly say. "I love coffee."

"What else?" He prodded.

"I hate hospitals. And the color pink. And people who slurp their drinks really loud. Or chew their gum like this." She paused to imitate someone smacking their gum in their mouth. "Hate that. And I hate little puppies that yip and-"

"You don't like much." Beck cut in.

Jade paused, blowing the steam that rose out of her cup. "No not really. But there are some things I like."

"Like what?"

She smirked. "Nice try. You'll have to wait to hear those."

"But I've heard them before, right?" He continued his search.

"Maybe. But for the most part, I probably won't tell you unless you remember."

Beck sighed a defeated sigh. They talked for a while and he repeatedly tried to ask her what she liked, but she only laughed. After a while, he started talking less. Eventually, Jade looked up from her coffee.

"Are you in pain?" She asked, forgetting that he probably would be. His teeth were slightly gritted.

"A little, but I'll let you know if it gets bad. Keep talking."

She could tell he was lieing. He was obviously in a lot of pain.

"Beck, let me get a nurse. I should be going anyways."

"No, really it's ok-" She reached over and pressed the little red nurse button before he could protest any further. "That was low." He teased.

"Get used to it." She smirked once more.

"You'll come back tomorrow?" He asked hopefully.

"I was thinking I'd send Robbie over." She watched his nose wrinkle in dislike. "Can't get enough of me, can you?"

"I'm just getting to know you."

Jade's face fell a little, a thought popping into her head. "Hopefully you'll still want to." She said it quietly enough for Beck not to hear and just as she finished her sentence, a nurse came in. As she walked to Beck's side, ready to add something to the IV, Jade reached over for Beck's hand. When he didn't resist, she felt a tug of hope. She stayed for a while until he drifted off to sleep, again feeling the urge to kiss him goodbye but ignoring it. Maybe someday soon, She thought.
