A cold breeze swept into Jade's hospital room, she shivered at the sudden change in temperature and pulled the blanket up higher over her and Cat. They were currently snuggled tightly together, Cat's head resting on Jade's collarbone.
"Have fun at school today." Jade whispered, it was half past six in the morning. Of course Jade wasn't in a good enough condition to go to school, but Cat had to anyway.
"I will. I'll finally be alright knowing you're okay." She gave Jade a quick peck on the neck, causing the goth to smile slightly.
"What time are you coming to see me tonight?" Jade asked.
"After school. You can help me with homework." Cat grinned, "I should probably go home, I need to change."
"Okay, see you later." Jade kissed the top of Cat's head as she left. The girls had officially been 'together' for a matter of hours, but it felt like forever. Jade noticed the bareness of her hospital room as soon as her girlfriend left, there was a sudden emptiness. It felt cold and colourless.
"Hey, Cat!" Robbie greeted, waving to Cat from the school entrance.
"Hi Rob!" She grinned, giving him a quick, one-armed hug.
"I heard Jade woke up, how is she?" He asked politely as they walked into the main building, heading for their lockers.
"She's fine, still a little tired."
"Are you going to see her again later?" Cat tucked a lock of hair behind her ear before answering,
"Yep, why?"
"You think I could tag along? I know Jade and I didn't get on much, but I still consider her a friend." Robbie nodded, his tight curls bobbing with each word he spoke.
"Of course! I'll text Jade, the whole gang could come." Cat grinned, she desperately wanted Jade to see her friends again. She hoped it would make her forget what she'd tried to do, and maybe it could make her happy to know that people cared for her.
"Awesome! I'll see you later then." Rob began walking off. Cat waved quickly before whipping out her phone, she sent a quick text to Jade asking if their friends could go see her.
Jade was attempting to eat when she received Cat's text. While she was out, it was almost like she'd forgotten basic functions. As embarrassing as it sounded, Jade was actually having trouble eating. Her hand was shaking while trying to reach a spoonful of cereal up to her lips, "Goddamn it." She sighed, abandoning her breakfast to focus on her phone. She furrowed her brow at the message, was she actually up to seeing the rest of her friends? Jade bit her lip slightly before deciding on calling Cat instead, she answered on the first ring.
"Hey! How are you?" Cat gushed straightaway, Jade smiled, she was so sweet.
"I'm good, having some trouble eating, but whatever." She rolled her eyes, not wanting to go to detail on it. "Listen, Cat... I'm not too sure I want the rest of the guys coming over."
"Ugh, I'm sorry. I knew deep down you weren't ready for it, do you want me to cancel on them?" At least she's understanding about it.
"If you don't mind, I just don't think I can handle them." Cat was really the only person that Jade could bear to see at the moment, she was special. Cat was Jade's exception.
"It's fine. I feel bad though, Robbie wanted to visit."
"Robbie?" Jade repeated, pulling a face. She'd never gotten on with the ventriloquist, why did he want to see her?
"Yeah, he said he considers you a friend." Jade began arguing with herself in her head, the nice part of her said she should let Robbie come to the hospital, the other part said she should find him and beat him to a pulp for even considering coming to see her.
"Well, I suppose just Robbie would be okay..." Jade relented, giving in.
"Okay! I'll tell him." Cat said, "Oops, I gotta go now, Sikowitz just arrived.
"Bye, I love you."
"I love you more." Cat teased before hanging up.
Cat and Robbie pulled up to the local hospital and walked to the reception.
"Here for Jade again?" The receptionist asked, she'd grown accustomed to Cat, as had most of the hospital staff.
"Is she awake?"
"Yes, she just got finished with therapy." The receptionist motioned with her head to the direction of Jade's room. Therapy? I didn't know Jade was doing that. Cat thought to herself with a small shrug, that seems logical though, she would've been made to go to it sooner or later.
"Here we go," Cat muttered, knocking on Jade's door lightly before walking in anyway, jittering with nerves at the thought of seeing her girlfriend.
"Hi Cat." Jade smiled, "Hey Rob." Her smile didn't falter, but it didn't carry the same energy as the one she'd given Cat.
"How are you?" Robbie asked, sitting down next to Jade's bed, Cat got in beside her, causing Robbie to look curiously between the two.
"I'm good, still a bit down but Cat's turning that around." Jade replied.
"That reminds me, you've got a bit of work to do." Cat sighed, bringing her backpack up onto the bed, she shuffled through her various books and papers before coming upon a file. "Here." She gave it to Jade, it was full of sheets containing information on upcoming projects and homework assignments.
"Great." Jade cheered sarcastically, she rubbed her temples. She was hoping she'd be able to relax and gather her thoughts, not worry about homework on top of all the thoughts in her head.
"Don't worry about it, I'll help." Cat said proudly, nudging Jade's arm playfully with her own.
"What's going on between you two?" Robbie suddenly asked, looking suspicious.
"What do you mean?" Jade asked coolly, noticing a light pink blush form on Cat's cheeks.
"I don't know," Robbie admitted, "You two just seem a lot more... Intimate than normal."
"Um," Cat looked at Jade for help, who shrugged in reply. "Robbie's trustworthy." Cat said softly, knowing that if they lied, he might pester the others to ask.
"Fine. Cat and I are a 'thing' now." Jade said.
"What?" Robbie asked.
"We're together." Cat giggled slightly. "Please don't tell the others yet."
"We're not ready for them to know, they'll ask questions and in case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly fit to answer them." Jade added.
"You have my word." Robbie promised.
"Isn't it a relief that we told someone?" Cat breathed out, Robbie had just left. Cat had half an hour left with Jade before she too had to leave.
"Not really, I could've kept it a secret." Jade teased.
"I'm not pushing you, but when do you want to tell people?" Cat asked, changing the subject slightly.
"Um, I don't know." Jade shrugged and bought the younger girl closer to her. "Definitely not when I'm still in the hospital."
"Of course not," Cat gasped, pulling away slightly to stare at her girlfriend. "I wouldn't do that to you, it would be unfair."
"I know you wouldn't." Jade reassured her, kissing her lightly on the lips. "Don't think I'm ashamed of you, I just don't need people talking smack about me while I'm not there to defend us."
"I get it. I'm fine with just us, and Robbie, knowing." Cat smiled.
"Good, I love you." Jade smiled.
"I love you too, Jadey. I'm glad you didn't leave me."
A/N: Sorry for not updating sooner, I've been busy (procrastinating) this weekend. This chapter's kind of a filler, but it's cute nonetheless :)
