Chapter Thirteen
In One Moment, Everything Can Change
It was a late Friday afternoon, as Cat was sitting on the pink, furry bean bag chair in her room, close to her bed, with her puppy, Reeses in her arms. He came to stay with her for the weekend. She was lifting him in the air, bouncing him up and down, cooing to him. She couldn't stop giggling and the puppy's tail couldn't stop wagging. She brought him down to her face, letting him lick the top of her nose and she squealed at the feeling. "Ah, my Reeses Pieces, you're so adorable!" She cooed. "The cutest thing I've ever laid eyes on!"
"I'm sitting right here listening to this, Miss Valentine."
Cat smiled to her boyfriend as he was attempting to do some homework he really needed to catch up on with just one arm while the other one was still in a cast, held up by a sling. He was sitting on her bed, leaning against the wall with his notebook on his lap, pen in his good hand, and the book next to him. He had his reading glasses on…the only time he used them was when he was alone or with Cat, since everyone usually teases him for having them…mostly his friends. Even Jade never saw him wear them when they were dating. The petite girlfriend of us just so happened to catch him one day and she loved them on him.
Anything to make his redhead angel happy.
"Sorry, Beck." She said cutely, batting her big brown eyes at him. "But you're way passed cute…you are sexy."
He sighed, concentrating on his work and listening to her at the same time. "Forgiven, I guess." He grinned to her.
Cat giggled and then went back to playing with Reeses. "Ooooooohhh…mmmm…shatter every window till it's all blown away, every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away…till there's nothing left standing, nothing-"
Knock, knock, knock, knock
Cat stopped her singing and looked to her open door. She remembered Jade wasn't home. "Phooey." She pouted as she did a backwards summersault to get out of the chair, standing to her feet. She looked to Beck as she picked Reeses up. "I'll be back, handsome." She gave him a flirtatious wink.
"I'm not going anywhere, trust me." Beck chuckled.
Cat skipped up to the door as the person knocked again. "One second!" She called out as she put her puppy in his new playpen by the TV. She opened the door and who she saw made her gasp. "Oh my god…"
Daniel stood at the door with a grin. "Well, well, Kitty-Cat, you've been ignoring me. I thought I'd come to visit and find out why."
Cat cringed. She could already smell the disgusting alcohol on his breath. "That's probably because you were undressing me with your eyes and touching me in private areas in class last week!" Cat snapped. "Leave!" She tried to shut the door, but Daniel stopped her, pushing it open and then closing it as Cat let it go. "Get out!"
"Cat, what's going on?" Beck yelled from the bedroom.
"Beck- mmmm!" Cat struggled to get Danny's hands off her mouth as he held her close to him. She was screaming behind his hand, fighting against his hold on her.
Suddenly, Beck was coming out of the room, with his cane he was forced to use until he felt he could walk normally again. He grunted in pain, but froze when he saw Daniel. He saw Cat struggling against him. Beck knew he couldn't fight Danny fairly, considering he had broken ribs and a deep, damaging bruise on his leg, along with a broken arm…but he would try if it came down to it, since his girlfriend was in distress. He'll always rescue his damsel. "Danny, let Cat go." He hissed in pain, trying to step closer without falling flat on his face. "Get off her."
Daniel laughed. "What are you going to do to stop me? You're crippled. I can kick you and the fight would be over." His words were slurred, so Beck immediately caught that Danny was under the influence of liquor.
Beck saw Daniel wasn't going to release Cat and leave, so he leaned against the recliner, putting his cane down. "I'm going to try though." Beck growled out.
Danny shrugged. "Fine." He harshly threw Cat to the side, making her slam on the wood floor they had just put in.
Beck heard Cat whimper in pain from the fall. He clenched his fists. "Stop hurting her."
"Let's get this over with, Oliver." Daniel said, pulling up his sleeves.
Cat grabbed Danny's leg. "No, he's not in shape to fight!"
Danny shook her off by kicking her away. "Stay out of this. I'll deal with you later."
Cat moaned at the impact.
Beck had enough, but he couldn't charge his drunken enemy like he wanted. He was in so much pain. One blow to his fragile body was going to bring him down and send him right back to the hospital. Beck had to try though. He didn't want Cat to see him as a coward that didn't try to defend his girlfriend. He wanted to do everything possible. He wished luck was on his side, but the way his body was about to give out on him, it wouldn't happen.
"Cat." Beck called for her.
Cat looked up at him from her place on the floor.
Beck looked to her. "It'll be okay. Stay away."
Cat let her tears go as she nodded, not wanting to disobey Beck when he was on a rampage…even though he was so weak, it wasn't possible for him to win. She wanted to get up and do something, but she couldn't. She was back on her eating disorder, so her body was broken easily lately. She tried to get up as Daniel moved closer to Beck. "Wait, no." She grunted, but her shaky arms just made her collapse to the floor again. "Beck, please." She whimpered.
Danny immediately went to punch him, but Beck grabbed his fist and twisted it, making the monster cry out in pain. Before Beck knew it, Daniel lifted his leg and kicked Beck harshly in the leg and then took advantage of Beck's distraction and punched the side of his face, making Beck fall against the couch, looking defeated already. Daniel chuckled as he leaned down to Beck and smirked, watching Beck cried in pain. "Looks like you lose."
Beck reached for him, Daniel quickly stood and started walking to Cat. "Please no." He sobbed out. "Please don't hurt her. She's fragile."
Daniel rolled his eyes and was about to grab Cat's hair when Andre and Jade walked in, casually. They were holding hands and smirked, but when took in the scene, they were NOT happy campers. "What the eff-ing hell is going on here?" Jade snapped. She pointed to the fearful Danny. "Step away from my best friend and I possibly wont murder you and make look like an accident." She growled.
Danny immediately backed up.
Andre rushed to Beck, who shook his head, wincing in pain. "Help Cat, please."
Cat was getting up though. "I'm okay."
Suddenly, Beck was the only one who caught eye of Danny bringing out his large Swiss army knife, looking to Cat with pure hatred. Daniel's screwed up mind was getting the best of him. Beck's heart raced. "NO!" Everyone looked to him as Danny impaled Cat's ribcage with the sharp blade. Tears came to Beck's eyes once again, wanting nothing more than to take her place. "NO!" Cat gasped in surprised as Danny shoved it back out, trying to make a run for it. "CAT!"
Jade kicked the knife out of his hand, kicked his man-balls, punched his face, and then kicked his stomach, making the drunken man fall backyards. Jade went up and kicked Daniel's face with her boot, making him unconscious. "Dick." She growled, spitting on him.
Andre called 9-1-1 as Cat forced herself to walk to Beck, who held his arms open for her, forgetting his awful pain and broken arm. "No!" He screamed as she dropped to her knees before him and he brought her into his arms. She was holding her side with one hand and her other arm went around Beck's neck, burying her face in the crook of his neck. Beck held her close to him, wrapping his casted arm around her waist, as he put his other hand on the stab wound. Cat saw that he had it, so she let her hand leave the wound and she gripped his t-shirt with her tiny fists. Beck was shaking violently, keeping his palm on the wound to make the bleeding stop. "No…not you." He sobbed out, resting his head on top of hers. "Cat…you didn't do anything wrong. You're perfect. You're my sweet angel." He kissed her head. "You're my sweet, sweet angel."
Cat kept her face safely in the crook of his neck, holding onto him tightly. "I don't want to die, Beck." She whispered, but he heard her. "Don't let me die. I don't want to leave you. I want to stay with you forever."
Beck's tears didn't cease. He could not care less about the world around him, nor could he care about his severe pain on his own body. "Oh, Cat…"
"I think I deserve this though." Cat mumbled.
Beck sobbed. "Cat, why would you say that?"
"I've been lying to you." She whimpered. "Beck, I haven't been eating, unless someone makes me…I have been making myself throw up again."
"Why?"
"It helps me forget the pain." She sighed out. "I deserve this. I deserve to die. I've been lying to you, so I deserve to rot in hell."
"No, you don't." He tried to convince her. "Cat, I love you so much. I don't want you to die…how can I live without you? Cat, you give me a reason to wake up in the morning. You are my whole world. I breathe because of you and your love. My life purpose it to care and protect you, and love you and treat you like a princess…there's nothing else for me to do in life. Nothing else matters if you're not by my side. We can make it through anything. When we have love, there's nothing that can break such a special bond." He kissed her head. "You didn't deserve this."
The ambulance came in. Andre was telling them that Beck needed to go to because of his own injuries. He didn't mind that, since he'd be right there with his girlfriend. They forced him to let go of Cat, putting gauzes to her stab wound. She tried screaming that she didn't want to let Beck go, but Beck told her it was okay and he's going with her. She tried to remain calm for him. "That's my girl." He whispered as Andre helped him to his feet. Policemen came in, looking at the scene, and taking Jade's statements first. Jade wanted to cry, but she kept her emotions in check. Beck looked to Andre, who was crying. "I thought you guys broke up and you hate her?" He asked weakly.
Andre shrugged. "Enemies with benefits."
Beck chuckled a little, ignoring the pain it caused him.
Soon they were all downstairs. They put Cat in the ambulance first, as she was strapped to the gurney. She was delirious, but the paramedic said they rather have that then her unconscious. One paramedic went in, and then the other paramedic and Andre helped Beck in. Andre pat Beck's arm. "The police want to get my statements and then we'll be there."
"Okay. Tell Jade to call my parents and Cat's." Beck stuttered out.
Andre nodded and then the paramedic shut the doors, going to the front to drive.
As the ambulance continued to take off with the sirens going off on top, Beck watched as Andre cried harder, watching them go.
Beck looked to Cat, who was looking straight at him, throwing him a smile as the paramedic was keeping clean gauzes on her wound. "I love you, Beck." She whispered.
Beck smiled to her. "I love you too, Cat."

Preview for Chapter 14: Rejecting Proposal
"I love you." He softly said, surprising himself since he didn't know he'd say that out loud at this very moment, but he didn't regret it, obviously.
Cat looked up at him and smiled sweetly. "I love you too."
"Will you marry me?" He asked, not nervous one bit.
Cat shook her head. "No. One day, yes, but not right now."
Beck was a little taken aback. "Huh?" Did she really just say "no" to his proposal? That just stung so much.
