Cat stared in disbelief, had that really happened?
"J-Jade?" She whispered, staring at her best friend. Cat wasn't sure if she could feel the pulse from Jade's wrist or if that was her own nerves. "NURSE!" She yelled, not wanting to leave Jade's side, just in case she did wake up. Cat whipped her head round, it seemed like no one had heard her. She frantically searched the room, looking for one of the 'Emergency' buttons she'd seen so many times in hospital dramas. After locating the small, red button, Cat tapped it. "C'mon, c'mon." She mumbled. Suddenly, the door burst open. Nurse Martha was back, accompanied by two doctors; one male, one female.
"What? What is it?" The male doctor urged, striding over towards Cat to look directly into her eyes.
"Jade moved." She grinned, "She squeezed my hand, I know she did, I felt it." Before Cat had any time to react, the nurse shooed her out of the room.
"Dear, you have to stay out here." Martha said, placing her hands on Cat's shoulders.
"But why? I want to see Jade when she wakes up!" She squealed, now that she knew of Jade's movements, Cat felt immensely ecstatic.
"I know, but the doctors have to wake her up slowly. There are still tests to be done. But we promise, as soon as she opens her eyes, you can see her. Just make sure it's okay with your parents." The nurse smiled kindly at Cat before going back into Jade's room. My parents? They have to understand, right? Cat gulped as she dialed her mother's number.

"Caterina, what is it? Are you lost?"
"I'm fine," Cat dismissed her mother's worries. "Jade moved."
"Oh, sweetie! That's great, but aren't you supposed to be on your way back?"
"Yes, but I need to be here for Jade. Her dad's still away on business, she'll have no one to wake up to." Cat explained, her mother was the most sympathetic of her parents, Cat was hoping she'd be allowed to stay at the hospital for longer.
"That's dreadful!" Cat could hear the wheels churning in her mother's head, she was just hoping for good news. "Let's make a deal. I'll let you stay at the hospital for the night, but you have to go to school tomorrow; whether Jade has to or not."
"That's fair. Thank you so much, mommy! Love you."
"Love you too, kitty." Her mother chuckled, Cat hung up.

"Cat?" Nurse Martha looked out from Jade's room.
"What?" Cat asked, snapping her head up. It was now ten at night, Cat was extremely tired but was having difficulty sleeping on the uncomfortable visitor chairs.
"She's awake." Martha smiled. "You can see her." Cat grinned widely, the doctors and Martha walked out and beamed at Cat.
"Thank you so much." Cat was on the verge of tears again, her hand began shaking as she placed it on the door handle. She peeked her head in and saw the goth sat up slightly in the bed.
"Jadey!" Cat squeaked, rushing to her best friend's bedside.
"Cat." Jade croaked, giving her a small smile.
"You worried me so much." Cat sobbed, throwing her arms around Jade's neck. The two were in an uncomfortable position, but it didn't matter. As long as they were with each other, not much else mattered.
"I'm so sorry." Jade sniffed, she still wasn't that used to crying. Letting her emotions out was definitely a new thing for Jade.
"Don't be, I'm just so glad you're alright." Cat leaned away and giggled, placing her hand lightly on Jade's arm.
"Thank you for being here, it means a lot to me." Jade wiped a stray tear of Cat's away, causing both girls to chuckle.
"I couldn't leave you, you're my best friend."
"So, where's Michael?" Jade asked eagerly, mindlessly fiddling with one of the tubes still attached to her.
"Um, well... He's still in France." Cat answered awkwardly.
"Did his plane get cancelled or something?"
"Not exactly," Cat began twiddling her thumbs.
"He didn't want to see me, did he?" Jade's voice was barely audible, it was barely a whisper. Yet Cat had heard, and her heart broke for Jade.
"I'm sorry," Cat tried to comfort her best friend.
"Don't be. I should've known, it's not like he fucking cares." Jade took a sharp intake of breath to stop herself from crying. "At least you're here, though." She smiled at the red-head.

"Are you staying here for the night?" Jade asked, she'd been talking with Cat from an hour. They'd been gossiping about school and the latest celebrities. As much as Jade had wanted to get away from everything, she hadn't realised how much she'd missed everything. Maybe life is worth living.
"Yeah," Cat nodded. "If that's okay with you, of course." She added hurriedly.
"It's fine, you can sleep here with me." For some reason, Jade felt herself blush at her own comment.
"Yay, sleepover!" Cat clapped slightly. Jade yawned slightly, her eyes felt heavy. Even though she'd been asleep for at least a week, Jade still felt tired.
"Sleepy?" Cat asked with a smile.
"Yeah, you wouldn't believe it, right?" Jade smirked and yawned again. She moved to the side of the bed to make room for Cat. As it was a single bed, there wouldn't be a lot of room. Cat got in beside Jade and reached up to pull the cord for the light, as she snuggled back down into the bed, she felt her heart begin racing. Cat wasn't actually gay, neither was Jade for the matter, she just had a lot of strong feelings for Jade. Cat loved boys, she couldn't get enough of them. But no boy could make her even begin to feel what Jade made her feel, that was why their bond was so special.

Cat was still having difficulty falling asleep, it wasn't that the bed was uncomfortable, or that was she wasn't tired; it was Jade. She couldn't stop thinking about her. What if she really did kill herself? What would I do without her? Cat pushed in closer to the other girl, she could see the rise of Jade's breaths in her chest, she was so peaceful. Even though her hair was a mess and she still has no makeup, Jade still managed to look effortlessly beautiful.
"I'm in love with you." Cat whispered quietly before she could stop herself. She sucked her lips inwards, as if trying to retract her statement.

Jade's eyes snapped open, she was still groggy, yet she felt like she'd heard something. Jade noticed Cat was awake, and staring at her.
"Did you say something?" She asked quietly. Did she actually say what I think she did?
"Yeah." Cat nodded, she wasn't sure if it was because she was tired or stupid, but she continued, "I said 'I'm in love with you'." Jade stared at the younger girl in disbelief, she'd always knew what she felt for Cat wasn't strictly platonic. There was definitely a different kind of attraction there, but did she reciprocate Cat's feelings to that high a level?
"C-Cat I..." Jade trailed off, still trying to accumulate words that would make sense. "I'm in love with you, too."

A/N: I really hope you guys liked this chapter. I hope I'm not moving this too fast, there's still more to come. It won't be over too quick ;)

Anyone else excited for bank holiday? I know it's only one extra day on the weekend, but it means more uploading time! Yay!
Don't forget to leave reviews and stuff, it's a great motivator.

Also, I know Jade may seem slightly out of character, but I feel she has a soft spot for Cat, it definitely shows in a few of the episodes.
