"She'll wake up, right?" Cat asked timidly, trembling. It had been four days since Jade's attempted suicide and Cat still couldn't stop crying.
"We're doing all we can, there's an 80% chance Jadelyn will be perfectly fine." The nurse replied, putting on a smile to try and be more comforting. This wasn't enough to calm Cat down, she felt frustrated. 80% isn't 100%, what if she never wakes up?

"Come on, Cat. You can't keep missing school." Tori begged the younger girl, trying to drag her away from Jade's beside.
"No, Tori! I need to stay with her." Cat said impatiently, she was sick of everyone telling her to go back to school and come back to Jade later. They didn't understand what was going through Cat's head, she needed Jade. And she knew Jade needed her too.
"For god's sake, Cat. You know she'll be fine. She's Jade, she'll be up and hating the world in no time." Tori rolled her eyes. The comment angered Cat, she turned to face Tori and glared at her.
"You go back to school if you want, I'm not leaving her." Cat was obstinate, she was not going to abandon her best friend just because Tori wanted her to.
"Whatever." Tori began leaving, but stopped at the door. "If you want to waste your future on some emo that will never love you, that's fine by me." She spat venomously before leaving.
"Don't listen to her. I love you, Jadey." Cat whispered to the still, pale girl before kissing her forehead softly.

"Is Cat still at the hospital?" Beck asked Tori, frowning slightly.
"Yeah, she's refusing to leave Jade." The Latina rolled her eyes, "But I heard her parents are making her come in today."
"It's weird to think that Jade may not..." Andre gulped before continuing, "Live." He murmured.
"Don't. I'm sure she'll be fine, just don't think about it too much." Beck hushed, he felt incredibly guilty. Maybe if he'd payed more attention to her little habits and traits, he could've prevented this whole thing.
"Hey, guys." Cat sighed as she reached the group. She looked terrible, once her red hair had been vibrant, now it looked flat. Once her smile had reached her eyes, now it barely appeared. Cat was quite obviously broken, she needed Jade.
"You okay?" Robbie asked softly, stroking her arm comfortingly.
"Not really." Cat shook her head, "Will one of you drive me to the hospital after school?"
"Why can't your parents?" Tori asked.
"They think Jade's a bad influence, they think I'll 'take her lead' and try to kill myself too." Cat gulped, no one had dared to mention what Jade had actually done. It was like a dark cloud was riding over the school, everyone noticed Jade's absence.
"I'll give you a ride. I wouldn't mind seeing Jade for a bit." Beck suggested.
"Thanks." Cat tried to smile, but it was a struggle.

"Which room is she in?" Beck questioned, keeping a tight grip on Cat's shoulders from behind to stop either of them from getting lost in the crowd.
"Next set of corridors," Cat grabbed one of his hands and lead him confidently to the right doors, twisting and turning each hall. "24B." She breathed. They both peered into the window of the door, the nurse from yesterday, Martha, was fixing up Jade's tubes. When she noticed the two teenagers peeking in, she smiled and motioned them inside.
"How is she?" Beck asked as he closed the door behind Cat.
"She's actually doing great, the doctor thinks she could wake up tomorrow." Martha smiled as Beck and Cat hugged each other victoriously. "I'll leave you two here. Remember, visiting time ends at eight." She warned before exiting the room.
"I'm sorry, Jade." Beck murmured to his ex as he sat beside her.
"I'm sure she's forgiven you." Cat smiled, it was a small attempt at sympathy, but she liked Beck, even though she felt some resentment towards him for hurting Jade. Beck was actually a nice person, he just couldn't figure out his feelings.
"She shouldn't. I was horrible to her." He shook his head, Beck was punishing himself more than Jade would.
"It was never really you she was upset with, sure you hurt her, but she was more annoyed with Tori." Cat explained.
"Why Tori? I was the one in a relationship with Jade, wouldn't she be more mad with me?" Cat rolled her eyes at Beck's stupidity.
"Yes, but she hates Tori. I guess she felt like she'd lost something else to Tori, all in the same day." When she noticed Beck's puzzled look, she continued.
"First, Tori got the role of Hermia, then you cheated on her with Tori."
"Fuck, I forgot." Beck groaned, Cat flinched at the bad word. She should be used to it, really. Jade was ten times as worse when it came to running her mouth, but to Cat, it was still beautiful. The way her eyes would flare with fire and the way her mouth contorted to utter the sinful words; nothing Jade did could be wrong in Cat's eyes.

"I should get going, my parents will be cooking dinner." Beck got up, it was already seven. "You want a lift?"
Cat shook her head, "No, I'll walk."
"Are you sure? It's quite a journey."
"I'll be fine." Cat assured Beck, hugging him just as he left.

Cat sat back down and took one of Jade's hands in her own, she began tracing patterns on it. "See, Jade? It's not just me that misses you." She muttered, "I'm not the only one that cares. Please wake up, please?" Cat begged, staring at Jade's face. A tear escaped from Cat's eye, she wiped it off with her free hand's sleeve. "Please." She choked, sobs racking her whole body, almost sending Cat into a spasm. Cat spent a few minutes crying, thinking of all the things she desperately wanted to tell Jade. "I need you." She sniffed, "I need you, I love you." Her grip on Jade's hand was becoming tighter, Cat was scared that if she let go, even by the slightest, Jade would fade away. "I love you." She repeated. "I can't live without you." Cat's crying was becoming hysterical, she'd never been able to control her emotions, but Jade could easily make her a mess in a matter of seconds. Cat jumped as her phone rang, it was her mother.
"H-hello?" She sniffed, still holding Jade's hand with her other one.
"Caterina? Where are you?" Her mother asked urgently.
"At the hospital, with Jade."
"You need to come home, now! Your father and I are worried sick, we told you not to go there tonight. Your brother is becoming erratic."
"Can I just stay for another hour? That's when visitor's time is over." Cat begged.
"No! If you don't start coming home now, your father will pick you up." Cat sighed in defeat,
"Fine." She hung up. "I guess I have to go now. I'm sorry." Cat sniffed and squeezed Jade's hand. Just as she was about to leave, something unexpected occurred.

Jade's hand squeezed Cat's.

A/N: Sorry for not uploading yesterday, I ended up going to my dad's and there's limited internet connection down there -.- hope you enjoyed the chapter anyway, expect an update soon!

Another thing, I don't hate Tori or anything, I just need a fairly villainous character, and since she and Jade don't get on, I chose her.
