Hey guys!

Enjoy the chapter and keep up the nice reviews! :)

Beck was standing in front of the one that used to be Jade's locker but was now empty, they had taken down all the scissors and everything in it but he still refused to accept the fact that Jade would never open it again; Tori, Andre, Cat and Robbie were walking by and saw him staring at Jade's old locker, they sighed sadly but didn't tell him anything, they couldn't make him feel better and they knew it, it still was hard for them to think about Jade without feeling horribly sad.

Later that day at HA, the gang was having lunch but nobody was talking because it was a sad day, they were seated at their usual table staring at Jade's now empty spot. "I can't believe it's been exactly a year since Jade disappeared" Tori commented sadly trying to break the awkward and painful silence.

"This school is not the same without her, nothing is" Cat added.

"Remember we have to stay positive, she is in a better place now" Andre said trying to comfort his friends.

"But the way she died... I just hope that man didn't do what he said because it'd horrifying to die like that" Tori commented mortified "Jade wasn't the sweetest person ever but she didn't deserve to end up like that"

"Who would deserve that?" Robbie asked and they shook their heads.

"Maybe if we had stopped her when she was leaving she would still be here" Cat commented sadly.

"Beck, are you okay?" Tori questioned because Beck was just looking down at his food without saying a single word or eating, he was just pressing his fork against his salad.

"Beck, this is not healthy" Andre added.

"No, of course it's not healthy, Beck you have to accept it okay? It's for your own good" Tori exclaimed "Once you've accepted the fact Jade is DEAD, you'll be able to move on with your life and be happy"

"No, Tori, I will never be happy because Jade will never come back" Beck simply said "and the worst part is that i'm responsible for this, if i hadn't been such an asshole to her that day she wouldn't have left school early"

"They would have caught her when she went out anyway" Andre commented.

"If i had opened the door she wouldn't have been alone when they kidnapped her, i would have been with her and she would still be here" Beck exclaimed upset.

"No, they would have shot you in front of her before they took her away, that's what would have happened if you'd been there" Tori said.

"I would have preferred to die trying to save her instead of living without her" Beck simply said and left.

"He needs to move on, this is not healthy for him" Tori commented concernedly.

"I've tried talking to his parents but they say Beck doesn't want to cooperate, he spends every night crying, he doesn't eat well and he is just... it's like the Beck we know left along with Jade" Andre added.

It had been a year and Jade got worse each day, she had lost a lot of weight, she had bags under her eyes and she was simply destroyed, Jade wasn't even the shadow of what she used to be but she was still alive to her disgrace.

Jade had been alone for about three days now because fortunately none of the men had gone to abuse her or drug her or feed her or anything at all, she had had time to think and remember, she remembered her friends, her parents and Beck, that's the memory that hurt the most because she remembered clearly the last time she saw him and what he said, he asked her to disappear from his life and she did, the worst part is that she knew he probably didn't even care.

Jade stood up slowly because for the first time in months she felt strong enough walk without tripping, she moved around the room touching the walls because she could barely see but after a few seconds she couldn't go further because the chain stopped her "Aw..." she touched her ankle carefully and felt the cuff around it, it was heavy and it hurt her a lot.

Jade knew that the drugs they forced her to take kept her in that state but she was developing a certain need for them and at the end of the day it was better to be lost instead of conscious in her reality so she kind of wanted them to come back but at the same time she didn't, she was terrified, she just wanted to stop feeling, she wanted to be free from everything, she wanted to die.

"Home, sweet, home" The boss said as he entered his living room.

"They almost caught us this time, sir" Dog commented.

"But they didn't because we are smarter" Eagle exclaimed.

"That's right, we are smarter than them" The boss laughed "They won't put us in jail ever" he affirmed and his men smiled "Oh I almost forgot the girl is still here, she must be conscious by now, it's been days she ate her candies"

"Who cares, sir? She can't do anything" Eagle commented.

"Yeah, I know but I'm starting to get impatient, it's been a year and she is still alive, one of these days I'm finally gonna get rid of that problem" The boss affirmed.

"I can do it right now if you want" Dog offered.

"No, no, let her enjoy her last moments conscious, actually I'm not gonna drug her for a while just so she understands her reality and suffers her death, bedsides she must be needing the drugs and it's not a punishment now, it's like a prize for her" The boss laughed "Poor girl, I feel a little pity but she deserves it for being a West"

"Well, if you excuse me I'm gonna make sure that her last days are useful" Eagle commented and stood up.

"Don't take too long, I'm up next" Tiger informed and the boss chuckled. Eagle entered Jade's room and saw her standing against the wall covering her eyes because the light hurt her after spending such a long time in the dark.

"Hello, we are back!" Eagle informed but Jade didn't respond, she knew what he was going to do and she was waiting for him to drug her first but he didn't do it, he simply started kissing her neck and breaking more her already broken dress while touching her all over but Jade didn't even fight by that point, she simply closed her eyes disgusted and tried to reunite the courage to speak.

"Where is my injection?" Jade questioned while Eagle kissed her.

"No more injections for you, baby" he answered and Jade looked at him surprised and mortified.

"I need it, please, please" Jade begged, she was starting to feel really anxious without it but most importantly, she didn't want to be conscious because when she was the pain became a hundred times bigger but unfortunately she would have to be.

Once Eagle was done, he started putting his clothes on while Jade laid on the floor trembling a little and crying "Oh come on, don't be dramatic you should be used to this by now" he commented "See you soon, sweetie" he chuckled and left but he didn't realize he had dropped his jacket with his phone in it.

Jade was crying her eyes out on the floor when she heard a little noise and the room lightened up a little, she started looking around and saw a little light across the room near the door and she knew it was a phone. She immediately dragged herself towards it but there was a point where the chain stopped her , she tried to reach it with her hand but she just couldn't go any further "Damn it" she hit the floor in frustration but didn't give up, she stood up and tried to reach it with her other foot but that was worse so she had to go back to her previous position "Owww" Jade's ankle was killing her as she pulled more and more but she couldn't scream so she was crying quietly instead until she finally could reach the jacket with her finger and grabbed the phone.

She couldn't really see the phone because the light blinded her but she remembered how to use an iPhone and managed to lower the light until she finally started seeing better, Jade had forgotten some things but she remembered her father's number and Beck's number but she wasn't going to call Beck.

Mr. West was in his living room with a new bottle of whiskey like every day, he only wanted to get drunk and forget, it had been exactly a year since Jade disappeared, he stared at her pictures and cried nonstop, life without her wasn't worth it, especially because she had died because of him, he imagined her last moments and only felt an intense need to die, maybe it was time.

Mr. West walked around his house and ended up in Jade's room, he sat down on the bed and started crying even more until he finally decided to grab his gun, his life wasn't life anymore, it was a living hell ever since the day Jade was kidnapped. He stared at the gun and then at a photograph of Jade, she was so young and full of life, he just couldn't accept the fact an innocent girl who had done nothing to anyone had died in those conditions, when he was about to point it to himself his phone rang interrupting him, he sighed and thought it wouldn't make any difference to answer or not but he did.

"Hello" Eric said emotionless but nobody answered, he could only hear heavy breathing and small sobs. "Who is this?" he questioned.

"D-Dad..." A female voice whispered and Mr. West's heart stopped.

"Who is this?" He questioned once again.

"J-J-Jade..." Jade finally managed to say her name and Mr. West couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"What?" He asked completely shocked but before Jade could answer Eric heard a door slamming open.

"I'm back" a male voice exclaimed and the call was over.

"No, no, no wait" Mr. West screamed into the phone desperately, he couldn't believe what he had just heard, he left the gun on Jade's bed and immediately ran downstairs, he didn't know what to do at first but then decided to call Carlos and Jade's friends.

Once Carlos and the gang were in Eric's house he reunited them in the living room to tell them what had happened. "What happened?" Carlos questioned.

"I got a call" Eric informed "At first I just heard someone's breath and it sounded like she was crying and when I asked who it was, she called me dad, I asked who it was again and she said Jade" Eric explained and everyone stood up surprised "Do you know what that means? Jade is alive" he said hopefully.

"Wait, wait, Eric, no, are you sure it was her? Did you recognize her voice?" Carlos questioned and Eric thought about it.

"Well, I couldn't... she was whispering but that doesn't mean it's not her" Eric responded.

"Of course it does, Jade died, you have to accept it" Carlos affirmed.

"But what if it was her? You can't be sure" Beck complained.

"You know what I think? I think this is a cruel joke and I think that man is behind it, don't you see it? He wants to torture you because it's been a year since he killed her" Carlos explained but Mr. West shook his head.

"You didn't hear her, when she was about to respond it sounded like someone entered the room and she hung up" Eric said.

"Did you try calling back?" Carlos questioned.

"No, of course not, didn't you hear what I said? Someone else was with her and I really don't think he knew Jade had a phone" Eric commented.

"Don't call that liar "Jade", god Eric, she died, please stop trying to believe she is alive" Carlos insisted "The boss probably wanted to play a cruel joke on you"

"Well, that makes sense "Tori said sadly.

"If you wanna be sure, call back, come on, do it" Carlos dared "You'll see that this is nothing but an act" Eric took a deep breath but finally called back.

Tiger was as usual hitting Jade before raping her when the phone rang and he immediately stood up to look for it, Jade had left it across the room and as soon as he got off her she moved to the corner crying and started panicking because she knew that calling her father would cost her a lot.

"Hello" Tiger said.

"Um hello..." Mr. West said "Who is this?"

"This is doctor Bryan" Tiger lied. "Do you want to schedule an appointment?"

"Wrong number, I'm sorry" Mr. West said and hung up, Tiger checked the phone's recent calls and realized Jade had called that number a few minutes earlier.

"Who did you call, bitch?"

Dun dun duuun!
