Chapter 14
I wasn't sure how long me and Beck stayed like that, but eventually a nurse came up to us and said that Jade was out of surgery and that she was doing fine. We got up and followed the nurse to a room. She opened the door and Jade was lying on the bed.
"Heeeyyy guys, I'm all better," Jade said with a small laugh.
"She's still a little out of it from the medication. They should wear off with in an hour. Today maybe around 2 o'clock you can take her home," the nurse told us. We thanked her and walked in and pulled up chairs next to her bed.
"Tori!" Jade said with a dreamy look on her face, she was totally high, "your boyfriend is totally hot!"
I just laughed, "I know right?"
I could see Beck grinning and blushing.
Jade was funny, she said funny things and made funny faces. I wish I had a video camera so I could show it to her later. Once 2 o'clock rolled around she had calmed down, we helped pick her up and got her into my car and we drove to my house. I had promised Jade that I wouldn't be all over Beck when she was around. It turned out to be easy. The three of us sat in my house, watching movies and throwing pop corn at each other. Jade had to take these pills to help with the pain, they made her a little loopy but not like before. It was nice for the three of us to hang out.
We all agreed to burry this day and never talk about it again. No one else would ever know that Jade was pregnant. She rested up through the weekend and on Monday morning it was back to school. I could see under Jade's cool exterior that she was nervous. People at our school had been talking about her. She had looked like she had gained weight since she came back. Some of the rumors were true some were fake. But we never told anyone.
I was standing at my locker with Beck leaning up against the one next to mine. We were talking about what we were going to do tonight. Jade walked past us and said hi, but a clique of the snobbiest girls at school stopped her right next to our lockers.
They were four of them and they were probably the richest kids and Hollywood Arts. They were pretty blonde, always wore pink and was always in everyone business. All the school gossip usually started and ended with them.
"Hey Jade," their leader Kylie Hurst said with a devious smile, her hand on her hip and her prada bag on her shoulder, "so how was you're summer?"
"It was a lot of fun, I got to work with some real professionals," Jade said with just as much attitude and grace and Kylie.
"So where were you on Friday? I've been hearing things in the hallways lately," Kylie replied.
"Yeah the same way I heard a plastic surgeon at a hospital say that you're nose was fake," Jade said sipping her coffee.
"Can you just get out of here Kylie?" I said politely trying to make them leave.
"Aw look, our little make it shine girl is sticking up for the wicked witch of Hollywood Arts, how cute!" Kylie said in a sarcastic baby voice.
"Yeah because that's what friends do for each other," Beck pointed out.
"Funny that you mentioned that were at a hospital recently, because I heard that you were there to get an abortion. Sounds like you were working real hard whoring around in Europe all summer," Kylie said with a little giggle and all of her followers laughed too.
I had had enough of this girl, "What ever we do on the weekends is none of your goddamn business! You can leave now and float in you shallow little pool of gossip and lies. C'mon Jade"
Kylie seemed shocked that I was telling her off; I was never the vocal to other people or yelled at them like that.
"Wow Vega, color me impressed," Jade said looking at me in disbelief with me and Beck on either side of her.
"Looks like Jade's rubbing off on you Tor," Beck said.
"Well, a little change never hurt anybody," I replied happily.
"Ya know," Jade started to say as she put her arms around mine and Beck's neck, "if the three of us stick together, we can take command of this school and then take command of Broadway after we graduate."
She was right… we all liked the sound of that.
