Chapter Fourteen
Rejecting Proposal
Beck was getting desperate.
Ever since Cat's stabbing the day before, he had not been able to see her all day yesterday, all night, and all day today…it was almost 7pm…unbelievable. Everyone kept trying to tell him and convince him that she's fine and she'll make a full recovery, but it wasn't enough for him. He had to have physical proof that Cat was okay. He had to touch her, kiss her, and hold her to believe anything these people were saying. Andre, Robbie, and Tori have visited, saying that Cat's fine…Beck didn't believe them. His parents came in, saying that they saw Cat on the way to his room, and she was doing good…he refused to listen. Cat's parents came in, saying they were proud of him for trying to protect her and that Cat's a trooper through this…Beck faked a smile, but he didn't listen to them either. Doctors and nurses have tried to convince him, but he kept telling them he had to see her.
They said he was too weak to leave his bed.
Don't they understand that the more they tell him that, the worse they're breaking his heart?
He tried begging them to at least let him call her on the hospital phone, but they said that's not allowed. No cell phones were allowed in the hospital. It was illegal to take pictures within the hospital. And- well, the point is: there was absolutely no way of seeing Cat. Beck was not content with this. He saved her life so many times, he was her protector, and he was her hero…doesn't that count for anything anymore? Shouldn't he have the right to see her? Hear her voice? What's next? Are they going to tell him to stop loving her? It sure seems that way.
Now his parents had gone back home, so did Cat's. Tori and Robbie said they'd come to the apartment tomorrow since he was going home. So was Cat, but she was going to HER apartment. He was going to HIS apartment. He wasn't able to go to school for the week AGAIN. Cat wasn't taking "no" for an answer, so she was returning to school on Monday because she is the most stubborn 5'2'' 90 pound 19 year old the world had ever came across. Yup. Beck sure was pissed off.
Suddenly Andre came in, but as usual, Beck just glared daggers at him. "Unless you're here to take me to Cat, I insist you walk away before I get out of this damn bed and pummel you." Beck threatened.
Andre grinned. "I'm not taking you to Cat."
Beck groaned. "Then leave me alone."
"You didn't let me finish, Beckett." Andre teased, making Beck even madder. "I'm not taking you to Cat, because Cat's coming to you."
Beck gasped and tried to sit up a bit more, but he bit his lip to stop the cry of pain, since he was still so sore. He saw Cat's long red hair first before she came in, practically limping, but Jade had a good hold on her waist, careful not to put pressure on the stab wound that was stitched up now. Andre went to the comfortable recliner in the corner of the room, dragging it over to Beck's bedside, where his monitors weren't, and putting a pillow there. As he went to get a blanket from the cupboards, Jade tried to get Cat to sit down, but Cat stopped her. "I need to kiss my boyfriend before I get comfy." She said softly and then looked to Beck, who was teary eyed.
Jade rolled her eyes. "Make it quick. The doctor said to not be on your feet for more than a minute if you want to go to school on Monday."
Cat giggled lightly, wincing a bit, but shook it off and turned back to Beck. "Hi, baby."
Beck took her hand and was shaking. "Cat? Why are you out of bed? And why are you wearing normal clothes?"
Cat smiled. "I was discharged."
Beck's eyes widened. "What? They can't do that! You were stabbed just only yesterday!"
"But my stitches are tightly in place, my bandages will help out a little, and I'm going to get some painkillers to help ease the pain." Cat shrugged. "It's all happy…well for me. You, Mister, is who I'm really worried about." She reached over and ran her fingers through his hair and he relaxed at her touch. "They said you can go home tomorrow. You must be excited since this hospital is so noisy and boring, huh?"
Beck nodded. "Yes…Cat, please stay with me." He pleaded, gripping her hand.
Cat kissed his hand. "I wasn't plan on leaving, baby. They said I can stay the night, which they prefer, just in case my first night isn't too pretty."
"Okay, enough talking." Jade snapped. "Let's sit you down here, so you don't collapse."
Cat pouted. "I'm fine."
"You're legs are getting shaky, Lil' Red." Andre bluntly told her as Jade tried to get Cat comfortable in the comfy chair.
Beck narrowed his eyes at his roommate. "Why are you looking at my girlfriend's legs?"
"Because you're in a hospital bed, hooked up to wires, unable to strangle me, so I can." Andre chuckled as Beck clenched his fists and his blood pressure went up on the monitor. "I'm sensing some aggression, Beck. Oh, and also…Cat was having an issue getting dressed, so Jade needed some help with her…so I saw Cat naked." Andre teased as Cat and Jade rolled their eyes. He really was trying to take advantage of Beck's helplessness, wasn't he? "You have a very pretty girlfriend."
Beck saw red. "When I get out of this bed tomorrow, I'm going to murder you."
"Well, until then, I'm enjoying this." Andre grinned like an idiot, which made Beck's rage go through the roof.
The nurse suddenly came in, smiling that Cat was finally with Beck, but she gasped. "Beckett, you're blood pressure is too high!"
Beck scoffed. "There's a reason for that, trust me."
The nurse was checking Beck's vitals. "Well, make that reason go away."
Beck chuckled evilly. "Don't worry. The second I get out of the hospital, that reason will be 6 feet underground." He said, staring at Andre, who was making mocking faces at him.
Cat blinked. "My goodness, college has changed us a lot."
Jade shrugged. "I think college is more fun than safe Hollywood Arts. I mean…sex, drinking, parties, and violence- damn, I love college."

Beck attempted to watch TV, but he focused more on Cat and her obsession with trying to finish her homework for Monday classes. She was stabbed a little over 36 hours before and yet she's making herself do all these things. She continued to amaze him every day. How did he get blessed with her loving him again? Hell if he'd ever know. The first time they both realized they were in love with one another, they were playing "7 Minutes In Heaven" with the gang…he and Cat were coupled up and put in a closet for 7 minutes. They made out for 7 minutes…and when their time was up, they kept kissing. The sparks, the fire, and the passion were absolutely outstanding to Beck. He thought he loved Jade, but he realized he never really did.
Cat's kiss was pure magic and angelic.
That's when he knew she was going to be his forever. He'd love her, take care of her, and protect her. He always thought that he didn't deserve her because of her sweet innocence and kind personality, along with cute humor, but he was making himself worthy. He didn't want to let her go for anything. Every time they fought, he'd back away. He couldn't lose her. She was the best thing that's ever happened to him. She completed him and kept him from falling apart. He adored her.
Beck Oliver would die without Cat Valentine.
"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.
"Beck, you're only asking because we've been through so much lately and I almost died yesterday." Cat told him. "I understand what you're feeling, but those aren't reasons to get married or engaged. I want you to propose to me when you're thinking of nothing else except for loving me. Right now, you're head is a bit tipsy and you're afraid of losing me. I'm sorry, but I refuse to get engaged to you because you're scared and fearful. I want to marry you for other reasons than that." She smiled. "We have plenty of time, Beck. We're 19. We have a long way to go."
Beck was a bit upset. "But…"
Cat bit her lip. "I know it hurts now, but I can't accept your proposal right now. Not in a hospital room. Not when we just faced hell. It'll hurt us in the long run. We aren't ready yet." When she saw him almost ready to cry, she sighed. "Maybe I should leave-"
"No!" He shouted, but it hurt him to do so, so he hissed in pain. He quickly ignored it and then looked to her. "Don't leave. Please, don't leave me."
"I need to know you understand why we can't get married right now." Cat said into his eyes.
Beck gulped. "I guess so."
"No, Beck, you need to convince me you understand or else we may have a problem." Cat told him sternly.
"Will you for sure marry me someday?" Beck asked, needing reassurance.
Cat nodded. "Mmmhmmm."
Beck sighed. "Then…okay. I'll respect your wishes. As long as we do get married one day, I'm content." He held his hand out and she reached over to take it in her hold gently. "I love you so much."
Cat leaned back in her chair, smiling at him. "I love you too."
He released her hand and she returned back to her homework. After a few minutes, he couldn't help, but interrupt her again. "Hey, Cat?"
"Hmmm?"
"Did Andre really see you naked?" Beck asked, dreading the answer.
Cat giggled, not looking to him. "Unfortunately, yes. But without his help, Jade and I would've had a bit of a problem. Trust me on that. I would've been in worse shape than I am now. So you have to give him some credit."
Beck frowned. "He rubbed it in my face."
"He's a guy." Cat stated like it was the most obvious thing on the planet. "Guys do that. You should know."
"I wouldn't!"
Cat looked up at him with a disbelief expression. "Oh, so if it was the other way around and I was helping Jade, but you had to come in and help too, while she was naked, you wouldn't torture Andre with that."
"No!"
"Liar."
"I wouldn't, you know why?"
Cat raised an eyebrow. "Oh this should be good…why?"
Beck smirked. "I wouldn't help Jade."
Cat started laughing.
Preview For Chapter 15: Unwelcomed Visitor
Suddenly Melody rubbed Beck's arm. "If she's so uptight about it, she doesn't deserve you."
"She's not!" Beck almost snarled. "She was so hurt when we kissed, she'll- you can't be here! Please leave! I'm begging you!"
Melody smirked. "So…if that redhead freak saw me here right now, would she dump you and leave?"
Beck froze. "Melody…please, I'm begging you not to do this. My girlfriend, Cat, means the world to me. Don't hurt us."
"But I'm so good at ruining people's lives, why stop now?" She giggled evilly. The door opened and Melody jumped on Beck, practically, putting her hands on his face to keeps his lips on hers. Beck was so stunned, he put his hands on her hips.
Something falling was heard and he yanked Melody off of him. Beck almost cried as Cat looked like she was about to faint. She was pale and unsteady as she fell against the door sill. "No." His voice cracked.
