RIP
JADE WEST (1995-2013)
Jade couldn't believe what she was seeing; it was true; everyone thought she was dead and in that moment her entire world fell apart even more, she understood that it had been a long time but to see a grave with her name on it was just too much, she didn't know if it was a good idea to go back and clarify everything or if she should just stay gone, at that point in her life she felt lost, she was ashamed of all the things those animals had done to her and she didn't want to face anyone but at the same time she only wanted to hug her dad and see her friends again, she wanted to see Beck but then she remembered all the things he had said and wondered if maybe he was happy now that she was out of his life.
So many questions and no answers, Jade simply stood by her grave while she imagined everyone's lives without her, she wondered if they were happier or if they were sad, she knew that her parents probably missed her a lot but she wasn't sure if maybe now that she was gone their lives were easier, it was something stupid but after all that time away she didn't analyze things properly.
"Hello Mr. West" Tori said nicely as she and the rest of the gang entered the house.
"Hi" he responded.
"How are you feeling?" Cat questioned and Eric looked down.
"Do you still think it was Jade who called you?" Andre asked and Jade's father sighed.
"No, no but I'd die for that to be true..." Eric answered "I feel the need to remind myself that my daughter is dead every day because I just can't accept it, i never will, you know there are times when i will wake up, get dressed, have breakfast and knock on Jade's door to say goodbye before i go to work, then i'll remember she won't open it and life becomes gray again" he commented sadly.
"I have an idea" Cat commented "What if we go visit Jade?" she suggested and everyone stared at her confused.
"What do you mean, Cat?" Robbie asked.
"Let's go to the cemetery" Cat explained. "We could get her some flowers or scissors and spend some time with her grave, maybe in that way you will accept that she is dead...at least for today"
"That's a good idea" Tori commented and Mr. West smiled at them sadly.
"Okay, okay let's go"
The gang and Jade's dad went to the cemetery and started walking towards Jade's grave but they had no idea what they were about to find. "There is someone on Jade's grave" Tori informed as they got closer.
"It looks like a homeless woman" Andre added and they began walking faster, they could only see her back so they had no idea who it was.
"Excuse me?" Beck asked once they were next to the woman. As soon as Jade heard Beck's voice her heart stopped, she couldn't believe that he was there and she panicked so she looked down to other side slowly. "Can I help you? Do you need money?" Beck questioned due to the way she was dressed, she looked like a homeless person but the chains were unusual.
"Excuse us, ma'am but-"Jade's dad said but then saw part of her face and his eyes wide opened "May I?" he asked as he gently grabbed the woman's chin and made her face him "Oh my god" Jade's father exclaimed in shock when he saw his daughter's face right in front of him.
He let go of her face and stepped back completely appalled as Beck and the rest of the gang gasped shocked as well. "Jade!" Cat exclaimed and Jade simply looked at them with a few tears running down her face and looked back at her grave.
Jade was in horrible conditions, she was barefoot and still dragging the cuff with the chain, the other chain was still hanging from her wrist and her other wrist was bleeding from pulling off it, her hair was all messy, she had a purple eye and some other bruises as well as a cut lip, she looked sick and just incredibly hurt.
"This is impossible" Robbie exclaimed shocked.
"We thought, we thought you were dead" Tori said still in shock, Beck couldn't even manage to speak he was just staring at her from top to bottom trying to understand what was happening.
"Oh my god, I can't believe it" Jade's father exclaimed with tears in his eyes but Jade was just staring at the grave without saying a single word. "This is a miracle" he exclaimed but then realized Jade wasn't doing anything but staring at her name on the grave. "No, no sweetie don't look at it, you're not dead... you're not, you're here, oh my god you're here, you're alive" he smiled and stroked her face but Jade was just staring into space.
"She is not okay..." Andre finally managed to speak after the shock.
"God, look at what those beasts did to you..." Eric exclaimed and hugged her but she didn't move, she was in shock after seeing them as well and it was like suddenly her desires to see her family and friends again had disappeared along with her desires to live, she couldn't even manage to speak or do anything because she didn't understand what was happening at that moment, she was lost.
"We have to take her to the hospital" Andre said.
"Don't worry, baby, you're gonna be okay, you're gonna be okay" Eric said and rushed to the car, he and Tori made Jade walk towards the car because she didn't react but they managed to get her in, meanwhile Andre and Robbie took a cab because they couldn't fit everyone in the car but they followed them to the hospital.
As soon as they arrived Jade was sent to emergencies while her father and friends stayed in the waiting room still in shock, they waited hours and hours for news while trying to recover from the impact. "This is surreal" Andre commented.
"Please tell me I'm not dreaming, please tell me my little girl is in there and alive!" Mr. West exclaimed.
"She is... This is just crazy, I still can't believe it" Tori said "After all this time, after the funeral, the newspapers, you even appeared on the news to talk about her death, i'm, i'm just... how?"
"Then it was her, I was right... she called me" Eric commented smiling "My daughter is alive and she caled me, she is here, oh my god" Jade's father just couldn't stop crying of happiness.
On the other hand Beck was still not completely sure of what was happening, it felt like a dream to him so he was just there like a statue listening and trying to assimilate it, it had taken him a year to finally accept Jade's death and now she was there again, it was just too much.
"But did you see her? She was chained and just... how can someone do that to a person?" Robbie asked.
"What was she doing in the cemetery, though and why was she acting like that? it was like it wasn't her anymore, what if she didn't recognize us?" Cat asked.
"I'm not sure but i think she did, she moved when she heard Beck" Tori pointed out.
"What if she never comes back?" Robbie questioned and everyone looked at him confused. "I mean what if she never comes back from that mental state? I've heard there are people who receive a big impression and never recover"
"No, no don't say that, Jade has to recover" Eric said.
"Well, I don't wanna be negative but Jade DID look like slave in the worst way... I mean the cuff with the chain on her ankle, the way she is dressed and everything, I mean what else could it be? Nobody does that anymore, at least not in America" Tori commented worriedly.
"I need to know exactly what happened to her" Eric said and looked at Beck who was standing there emotionless. "What's going on with you? Aren't you happy that Jade appeared?" he asked slightly upset but mainly confused by Beck's reaction to the situation.
"This is a dream, this can't be real" Beck simply said "That's not Jade, that's a stranger"
"Beck, that IS Jade but she's been through a lot" Andre responded. "How can you not recognize her? I mean yeah I agree she's changed but not to the point for you to not recognize her"
"Beck, Jade is back...she is alive" Tori exclaimed happily "Get it, Jade, your JADE, the same girl you dated for years, is alive" she said on his face.
"Jade is alive... Jade is alive...Jade is alive" Beck repeated about ten times and tears started streaming down his face "Oh my god, Jade is alive!" he exclaimed with a big smile on his face.
"Yes, yes she is" Tori nodded happily and hugged Beck but they broke the hug because they saw the doctor walking up to them.
"How is she? Can we see her?" Eric immediately questioned.
"What the hell happened to her?" the doctor questioned back slightly upset. "We had to use special tools to free her from the chains and the cuff"
"It's a long story, just tell me if she is okay" Eric demanded.
"Listen, we'll talk about the chains later... but first of all, let me ask you this, is she a drug addict or a prostitute or both even if it wasn't her will?" The doctor questioned and Mr. West stared at him sadly. "I ask because she has several marks on her arms and the blood studies say that she's been consuming heroin and some other drugs that people usually use to sedate, some of them are illegal in the US, though and well, we also found out that at least three men have been with her in the last few days" he informed and everyone sighed mortified while shaking their heads slowly, they didn't even know what was worse. "Her body is lacking on so many nutrients right now that I don't even know how she is still alive; she has lots of scars and bruises, some are old and some are new, she also has a quite serious problem with her cuffed ankle, I don't understand how she managed to walk because it's really hurt, almost broken... I guess it's because the cuff kind of supported it but it still is incredible" he continued "She is the opposite of okay but i think we can save her, it's actually quite amazing due to her conditions"
"Thank god, well at least that's good news" Eric said "Um doctor, is she infected with some virus? Listen, she was kidnapped a year ago" he informed.
"Yes, the West case, it was all over the news but i wasn't sure if it was her" the doctor commented.
"Yeah, well, I don't know exactly what she's been through but I'm almost sure that as you said they turned her into a... prostitute and I'm afraid that she might have caught something" he commented concernedly.
"No, no, fortunately she doesn't have AIDS or anything like it, we applied her all kinds of tests because we suspected the same thing and they don't show any illness, the pregnancy test resulted negative but she's been pregnant before" The doctor responded and everyone's eyes wide opened.
"What?" Beck questioned appalled.
"Yes, she was pregnant not too long ago, her pregnancy probably lasted about two months and then she had an involuntary abortion from getting beaten or violently assaulted, you know what I mean, I doubt she even knows it" The doctor commented.
"Please don't tell her anything" Eric begged and the doctor nodded, they thought that if Jade knew about it things would be even worse.
"But other than that, she is fine, right?" Tori questioned.
"Physically, she is going to recover but I'm worried about her mental health, she hasn't said a single word since she got here but she had a very violent episode when we were trying to break the chains" The doctor informed "It's understandable but it's not good, I mean she obviously has a big trauma but I hope she reacts soon"
"Maybe if she sees us she will" Cat suggested.
"Perhaps, would you like to see her?"
I hope you enjoyed the chapter! :)
