Hello guys!

This is the last chapter of the story and it's basically two chapters in one...very long but i didn't want to cut it by half again haha it wouldn't have the same effect.

Enjoy!

One day Beck was in his cell just writing on his journal as he'd been doing for a couple of weeks, he liked to write letters pretending Jade would get them. "Oliver, you have a visitor" A guard informed.

"Who? My parents came this morning" Beck commented.

"I'm not your secretary, go see yourself" The guard responded coldly and Beck stood up to walk with him to the visit room. He sat down and saw Jade's father on the other side of the glass just looking at a picture as a couple of tears streamed down his cheeks but then he realized Beck was there so he looked up at his face. They stared at each other for a few seconds and then proceeded to grab the phones.

"Why are you here?" Beck asked.

"You know, Beck, you're not the only guilty person here" Mr. West said sincerely. "I was a terrible father, I never paid enough attention to my only daughter and now she is dead"

"How is that your fault? It was on me" Beck said sadly, he couldn't forgive himself for what he'd done.

"You're the main responsible for it, I'm not excusing you" Jade's father said coldly. "But I should've known Jade was lying, I should've at least pretended to care that she was going out…but I didn't, I was in the comfort of my sofa with my wife ignoring the fact my daughter had left the house by herself at night after she'd received several threats" He commented full of regret. "She said she would go to the store and I didn't even respond, I just nodded once…without even looking at her and continued watching the movie…Now when I think about that moment, I wish I'd asked more questions, I wish I'd realized she was lying, I should've gone with her, I should've saved her from you" Mr. West said angrily.

"I'm sorry" Beck said sincerely.

"I can't stop thinking about the fact that while I was in my living room enjoying a movie with my wife, my daughter was on some roof begging for her life" Mr. West said as another tear streamed down his face. "Do you have a single idea of what I felt when I picked up the phone only to be told my daughter was at the morgue and that I had to recognize the body?" He questioned full of rage and Beck looked down. "Look at me, face what you've done" Mr. West demanded and he looked up with tears in his eyes as well.

"Look at her, look at her!" Mr. West said as he put a picture of Jade on the glass; it had been approximately a year before that and she looked happy. She was in her room with Cat and they were both smiling. As soon as Beck saw that he broke out crying even more and Mr. West simply looked down. "I would gladly make sure you die soon but that would be too kind, you deserve to live with this" Jade's father affirmed and stood up as he slipped the photograph to Beck's side through the tiny hole below the glass before walking away.

Beck walked back into his cell and simply sat down in the corner while crying his eyes out and stroking the picture of Jade. "I'm so sorry" He said completely heartbroken as he kissed the picture and then pressed it to his chest.

"What's the matter?" Bernard questioned as he stepped into the cell.

"I killed her, Bernard, I killed the love of my life, I killed Jade" Beck said full of sadness and resentment for himself while crying desperately. "She didn't deserve any of the things I did, she deserved to be happy I'm a monster"

"What are you holding? Can I see?" Bernard questioned and Beck handed him the picture. "Which one?" He asked because there were two girls in the picture.

"Black hair…" Beck said as he wiped the tears away and tried to calm down.

"She was really pretty, you were a lucky man" Bernard said sincerely and Beck sighed sadly.

"I know, I should've noticed it in time" He responded as he looked down and he felt the tears coming again. "How could I do this? I still can't believe I'm the monster who ended her life…" Beck said sincerely.

"Well, people do crazy things when they are angry" Bernard said as he sat down on the bed next to Beck and handed him the photograph back.

"I can't do this, Bernard, I can't" Beck responded sincerely and continued crying. "I can't live the rest of my life like this, I wish I were dead…or crazy, anything would be better than feeling what I feel"

"You don't want that, Beck, madness might be an escape but it doesn't make the pain go away, it simply changes its form" He commented. "Like I said, you need to own it! You were lucid and manly enough to call her, sweet talk her into seeing you, take her to a roof and tell her all the things you could come up with before making her fall off, weren't you?" Bernard asked and Beck sighed sadly because it was true. "Now you need to be a lucid man again and face the consequences of your actions, which includes the guilt" He affirmed. "Yes, Jade was a beautiful young woman with her whole life ahead, you know that now and you cry about it but you knew it when you decided to kill her too and you didn't really care, you made a very elaborated plan to do it and put it in action so don't tell me you are an innocent guy who just made a mistake because you are not"

"I've never said that" Beck said coldly.

"Not directly but you keep whining about how horrible life is, how those doctors from the test or whatever are the responsible ones and how much you're suffering, WAKE UP!" Bernard said almost upset. "You are here because you brought it on yourself, nobody forced you to kill that girl…it was all YOU, so be a fucking man and own it, own her death because it's all yours"

"I know, okay? I KNOW!" Beck responded angrily. "Does that make me of god damn steel? I can still feel, and I've told you a hundred times that I did not mean to kill her, it was an accident and those people DID play a big role in this"

"In the last ten seconds it was an accident, but the whole process and the reason she is dead is because YOU planned it, those people didn't even speak to you" Bernard affirmed. "You can't deny that, you said it yourself…You wanted her dead, and if your friends hadn't appeared you wouldn't be feeling like this even though it would make no difference because she would still be dead"

"That's not true" Beck said.

"It is, you would've been sad but then you would have told yourself that she deserved it and it would have made you feel better" Bernard commented and Beck thought about it. "It's all about perspective so just accept your crime, Beck, own it…only when you feel one hundred percent responsible for it, only when you learn to live with that death on your back, only then you'll be able to rest, but if you keep pitying yourself and indirectly putting the guilt on others you'll just end up going mad"

Beck thought about all the things Bernard had told him and he wanted to do it, he wanted to stop feeling guilt and regret but he couldn't do it, every time he remembered Jade he only felt like crying and wished he could go back in time to stop himself from doing such a monstrous thing. He kept the picture of Jade in his journal and he continued writing on it while pretending he was talking to her, it helped him and he enjoyed it but it was never enough to make him forgive himself for what he had done. The memory of Jade and her death would chase him until the last day of his life.

One day Beck opened his eyes expecting to see the same cell he'd been in for over a month now but he wasn't there. He looked around completely disconcerted because he was in a white room and he was wearing a different outfit from the prison suit. He stood up slowly and started walking towards the door. "Hello?" Beck said confused but he didn't hear anything so he kept walking down the hallway.

He walked downstairs and realized he was back in the apartment of the test so he got even more disconcerted. "What the hell…" He whispered and then he heard voices coming from the kitchen so he started walking towards them and saw Tori, Cat, Andre and Robbie there.

"Look who's finally back!" Andre exclaimed

"Hi Beck! Do you want some oatmeal?" Cat asked nicely and he stared at them confused.

"What's happening?" He questioned and they looked at each other not understanding his attitude.

"We are making breakfast" Tori said casually.

"But…how? When did we get back here?" Beck questioned confused. "And why are you acting like this?"

"You're acting weird, come on…just have some oatmeal with us, you probably need it" Tori responded and smiled so he looked down trying to understand what was happening; the last thing he remembered was being in jail and his friends not wanting to see him because he'd killed Jade. He was lost in his thoughts when all sudden a familiar voice made his heart stop.

"Aren't you gonna say hi?" Jade suddenly said as she appeared in front of him and his eyes wide opened, he shook his head and stepped back so she stared at him confused. "What's the matter with you? It's like you're seeing a ghost" she commented and chuckled but he was still staring at her terrified; as he looked at her he could only picture her corpse and the lifeless look in her eyes as she laid on the ground of that sidewalk.

"This is not happening, you're not here…none of you is here, this is a dream" Beck said and grabbed his head. "Oh my god, I'm really going crazy…" he whispered.

"Beck, what's up with you? We are here, just like we've been all this time" Tori affirmed and he shook his head but he didn't take his eyes off Jade.

"You're not here, you can't be" He said to Jade. "Please leave my head, please…I can't deal with this, LEAVE! GET OUT!" He screamed at her and she stared at him nervously.

"What did they do to you? What's wrong?" Jade asked and tried to touch him but he pushed her hand back so she got even more disconcerted.

"Stay back" He ordered and she looked at the rest of her friends confused.

"Beck, it's me…Jade, your girlfriend, remember?" Jade said and gave him a little smile. "What's going on with you?"

"No, you're not here…You're dead" Beck affirmed and Jade looked at him confused as she shook her head slowly.

"No, I'm not…what are you talking about?" Jade asked.

"Yes, you are…god, this must be a dream, yes, that's what it is" Beck affirmed and they looked at each other not knowing what to do next. "My head is probably trying to trick me"

"Beck, this is not a dream…we are here, all of us, Jade isn't dead" Andre informed.

"Yes, she is…I killed her, don't you remember?" Beck questioned anxiously and Jade's eyes wide opened. "I pushed her off a building, you were there, you saw everything"

Everyone was just staring at each other completely creeped out by what he was saying, they couldn't understand anything. "That never happened, Beck, you didn't push Jade off any building…we haven't been out in weeks" Tori affirmed and he looked at her confused while shaking his head.

"No, no…it happened, I'm sure, I was there…and she begged me to let her go but then you appeared and I didn't realize the moment I stopped holding her so she fell back, she was dead. You all saw her, come on!" Beck insisted and Jade was just debating what to think, she didn't love the idea of her boyfriend imagining he'd killed her. "There was a funeral and everything, you buried her and I was sent to prison, her father made sure I paid for her death; I had a cellmate, his name is Bernard…I've been there for over a month and then I wake up here, and you're all here…and she is here too, this is not possible, he said I would go mad and he was right"

"So…you killed me…and I was burried" Jade said emotionlessly.

"Yes, you're dead, I know you are and I'm so sorry, I swear I haven't had a moment of peace ever since I let you fall that night, I swear I didn't mean to…I don't know what happened, but I let you down and you died, I can't get that image out of my head, it replays every minute of every day and it's my worst nightmare; you were there, on the sidewalk…bleeding, your eyes were open, you had blood on your nose and you weren't alive anymore, Andre closed your eyes and everyone cried, this is not possible…I'm imagining you" Beck affirmed and Jade took a breath.

"It didn't happen, Beck, I'm alive…they must've done something to you while they had you in that room" Jade explained.

"What room? What are you talking about?" He asked.

"They came for you a couple of days after we arrived and they had you in a different room, they said they were doing some tests" Tori informed.

"No, that's not how it happened, they didn't take me; they put Jade away, for a few hours though…or not?" He asked and they shook their heads. "They told us to act mean, remember? I said horrible things to you, how can you not remember? How can you be here?" He asked Jade as he looked at her from top to bottom completely confused. "You are in a grave!"

"We haven't talked in weeks and I'm pretty sure I'm not in a grave, Beck" Jade responded. "You imagined everything"

"This makes no sense, no…no…" Beck said as he shook his head but then Marilyn walked into the apartment so they all turned to her. "What the hell is happening?" he questioned angrily and she smiled.

"Why don't you all take a seat? I'll explain everything to you" She said and they all sat down. "We did what we said we would do, we needed you all to be here for the beginning but only one of you could be tested so we chose you, Beck"

"Chose me for what?" Beck asked confused.

"Well, you had the strongest bond to someone here, Jade, we could've chosen her instead but we figured the results wouldn't be as satisfying given the fact she sometimes has a hostile relationship with the rest of your friends, we needed someone like you" Marilyn explained. "So we hypnotized you and started manipulating your brain to put you into a very deep hallucination"

"Are you serious?" Beck asked and Marilyn nodded.

"Yes, in all the scenarios we introduced to your brain you had two choices, and it was up to you to choose your path, we didn't make you do it, so with that clear: in the first, you needed to choose between saving Jade's life or destroying her feelings and make her hate you, which is what you did…" Marilyn informed and Jade turned to Beck.

"So you destroyed my feelings? How?" Jade asked curiously.

"I told you I'd played with you and started dating Tori, it was all an act…but then, how could I control what she would do? With the gun for example?" Beck questioned.

"Gun?" Tori asked.

"In the scenario, after Jade had been excluded from the group she was given a gun and the chance to kill you but she decided to shoot herself instead, because that's what YOU think she would've done" Marilyn affirmed. "However, the hallucination was meant to prove that and we couldn't kill any of you yet so the gun wasn't charged and she stayed alive"

"Wow…" Tori said surprised.

"In the other scenario, when you had to save her life instead of confessing the truth, you chose to save her again…and then when she was released, you had two choices again…we introduced the illusion that Jade had gone wild, she was partying, doing drugs and being promiscuous, your choice was to go after her or to give up" Marilyn informed. "You chose to go after her, just like we expected you to do…and from that point on, it was all your brain"

"What happened?" Jade questioned curiously.

"He pictured you with a drug dealer on a roof, and you had a gun, for whatever reason because you didn't really use it…the point is that you tried to kill yourself again and he saved you" Marilyn informed and Jade chuckled so they all stared at her confused.

"What's so funny?" Beck asked.

"You've made me kill myself twice so far, that means you think I could actually be suicidal…" Jade commented and shook her head. "But whatever, go on…"

"Well, after that he thought you wouldn't believe him when he said the truth so in the hallucination you didn't believe him and then we made your father kick you out of your house just so you wouldn't have an alibi" Marilyn informed to Jade. "Ultimately, Jade threatened you all and that leads us to the new scenario" Marilyn continued. "In this one, every single one of you disappeared, first Cat, then Robbie, then Andre and lastly Tori, your function was to convince Beck that Jade was behind it" she said to Tori. "Beck had two choices, he could believe she was innocent or guilty and he went for guilty, he figured she'd be capable of killing all of you for revenge"

"Really?" Jade asked him and he stared at her mortified.

"Yes, really…and that takes us to the last stage, which would prove our theory that even a nice person could become a calculating monster against the person he loves the most if the circumstances changed" Marilyn said. "In the hallucination, he told you many things…he even said he regretted saving your life because if you were dead his friends would be alive, you got a lot of hatred from everyone but he figured your father would still care about you"

"He is wrong" Jade commented.

"He had two options, he could just let you walk away with the murders or he could kill you to avenge his friends" Marilyn continued and Jade sighed.

"And he chose to kill me, didn't he?" She asked disappointedly and Beck looked down.

"Yes" Marilyn said and Jade nodded as she stared at him emotionlessly. "He took you to the roof of a building, made you walk to the edge and he figured you'd panic, in the hallucination you started telling him to let you go, said you didn't wanna die and begged him for your life" she commented. "In fact, here I have some of the things he said to you…" Marilyn said and opened a folder to start reading. "-You killed the only people who cared about you, now nobody does…You're alone-, he also said -If only I'd realized the kind of psycho you are in time, they would still be here, I would've choked the life out of you before you laid a finger on them…-" she said out loud" Beck was just looking down and Jade was staring at him coldly. "-Don't worry, you'll see your mom again, won't that be nice? She probably misses you more than anyone here will, I can assure you that-" she continued and Jade looked down not knowing what to say; she actually felt hurt by all those words. "-I hate you so much and there's nothing I want more than to see you dead-" Marilyn finished and closed the folder. "Those are some of the things he said while he had you on that roof"

"That was so…cruel" Tori said sincerely and stared at Beck disconcertedly. "How could you do that?" she asked.

"He could because that's what he felt" Jade said cold and sadly so he turned to her and shook his head. "I suppose it's true, my mom probably misses me more than anyone who is alive will" she commented as she stared at him emotionlessly.

"That's not true, I'm sorry…I shouldn't have said any of that" Beck apologized sincerely.

"What did I do when said that?" Jade asked Marilyn.

"Well, emotionally, you reacted like you're reacting now so I suppose he knows you well…but of course, in that moment you were more concerned about begging him not to kill you" She responded.

"And he still pushed me off…" Jade said emotionlessly.

"Well, he was holding your arms and he was debating whether to pull you up again or not, however, in that instant we added your friends in, which would clear you from all responsibility, and Beck's instinct was to turn around letting go of you" Marilyn explained and Beck closed his eyes in frustration because even if it hadn't been real, he felt it was.

"So you're telling me if something like that happened, he would kill me" Jade affirmed and shook her head disappointedly. "It's good to know" she said coldly.

"No" Beck responded. "I swear I wasn't gonna kill you, it was an accident"

"You took me to a god damn roof and put me on the edge, I think it wasn't an accident" Jade commented; she was pissed because even it hadn't been real, Beck didn't know that and she felt hurt by all the things he'd said to her.

"Well, to be fair…we decided not to wake him up immediately, we needed to know if he'd actually let you fall accidently or if he would have done it anyway" Marilyn commented.

"And?" Jade asked.

"He imagined all the process of your death, all his friends turned against him, your father went nuts and put him in jail and he grieved in his cell, we let him do it for a few weeks and we came to the conclusion that it was an accident, he regretted doing it before he let you down" Marilyn affirmed. "Not the results we expected, subjects usually kill the other person purposefully but he didn't"

"I swear…I didn't want you dead, I said it but I didn't mean it, I didn't mean any of it I just wanted to hurt you because I was stupid" Beck affirmed and Jade simply stared at him coldly but he smiled; he was so happy to have found out everything had been a hallucination that he only hugged Jade as tightly as he could. "Oh my god, I can't believe this was a dream…You're here! You're alive, I've never been so happy" He affirmed with tears in his eyes as he felt her and Jade was angry but after a few seconds she finally gave in and hugged him back. "God, I love you so much" He said and broke the hug to kiss her forehead.

"Only because it was an accident, but we still need to talk about this" Jade said coldly. "I wouldn't kill myself because of you by the way" she commented and they all chuckled a little, even Beck.

"Well, guys, I think you can go now…We'll pay you what we accorded" Marilyn informed and stood up but Beck ignored her; he couldn't stop looking at Jade and feeling her, he was afraid he would wake up and find out it'd been a dream but he didn't want to, he felt so relieved to know he had not killed the love of his life that everything else didn't matter. It was like getting a second chance, he had his life back.

Marilyn released everyone and after a few days Beck finally convinced himself that he wasn't dreaming; his memories were painfully realistic but to see Jade there was enough to make him feel better. They had to work on their relationship because she didn't like the way he perceived certain aspects of her and she was upset about what he had done in the hallucination but she loved him too. In the end the test had actually changed their lives, especially Beck's, he could not forget what he'd done in the hallucination and that made him want to make up for it so he always tried to show Jade how much he loved her and she was okay with that, she was just glad that the test hadn't turned out the way it was supposed to and in the end, Beck's love for her was bigger than the worst of scenarios so she knew their relationship would work.

You never saw that coming, did you? ;)
