I apologise again for the long wait, I said I wasn't sure when I'd update next, so I finally did it. Hope you enjoy. Leave comments.

"Well why would your insides just randomly start burning?" He asked, still just as confused as Jade.
"I don't know. This is concerning me." She noted out loud, still waiting for the water to rise high enough for her to float.

Beck stayed in his chair constantly trying to convince himself that everything was fine, while Tori and Cat kept crying and hugging, and confessing how they never really knew Jade that well over and over.

Beck couldn't help but think that they had the right idea, but he didn't want to cry, especially in front of Jade. He couldn't care less if Cat and Tori saw him cry, but he knew he needed to be strong for Jade. He pulled up her hand and pulled it close to his heart.
"I'm still here. You can come back." He mumbled.

Tori looked up towards Beck from her spot on the floor, and wiped the tears out of her misty, brown eyes.
"How do you do that?" She asked.
"Do what?"
"You act like you're not scared of anything. You always do. You never think that something might go wrong?" She criticized. "You look like you don't even care."
"I care more than you think."
"Well it doesn't look like it."
"Take that back." He growled."
"Beck you're scaring me." Cat whimpered, speaking for the first time since they'd discovered her mutilated arm.

Beck paused for a moment and started taking deep breaths, ignoring all the pain that it caused on his three broken ribs. He closed his eyes, and he started to pretend that Jade was okay, and it did calm him down. He even picked up the same hand that he'd held before and pulled it closer. There was a warm comforting feeling as he used Jade's hand to wipe away his tears.

"What are we doing anyway, the waters getting pretty high, Jade." Beckett panicked, as he could no longer stand on the ground.
"It's fine." She answered, ignoring him.
"Aren't you afraid of anything?" He questioned.
"Everyone's afraid of something." She began. "You're afraid of drowning here and I'm afraid that I'll forget you."
"Now why would you be afraid of that?" He asked.
"Well not you, I mean Beck. I just said you because you remind me of him."
"I wonder why that is."
"Hang on, it's taken us about half an hour to half flood the room, so it will probably be another twenty minutes before we can reach the fan."
"Is that seriously your plan? You're going to kick out the fan?"
"Whoever said brute force isn't enough to get the job done is not someone I'd be talking to anytime soon." She chuckled.
"God you're creepy." He replied as he swam closer to her.
"You chose to stay here."

"You have no idea how much this hurts." He rasped as they put him back in his own bed.
"Don't worry honey, they're bringing you more painkillers." His mother reassured him, kissing him on the top of his head.
"It's not even the kind of pain that comes with a broken leg and three broken ribs." He tried to explain. "It's like someone's stabbed me in the heart with a rusty knife and they've just left it there."
"Are you alright?" Cat asked, not picking up on the metaphor.
"Cat, I think he means his heart's broken." Tori tried to explain.
"Well, he only said he broke his leg and three ribs."
"It's a metaphor, for when you miss someone."
"Oh..." She said, now realising what Tori was trying to say.
"Beck, it's not your fault." Theresa tried to comfort him.
"She wouldn't have been here if I wasn't."
"Don't think like that." Tori commanded.
"Where's dad?" Beck asked, trying to change the subject. He never did like talking about himself for too long.
"He had to go to work, they won't let him take the day off now that you're awake."
"Well that sucks." He complained, before changing the subject again. "What happened to my car then?"
"That's scrap metal now."
"But that was pop's old Chevy."
"It's all smashed, and dented, not to mention there's a lot of blood in there. It would cost more to make it work again than it would take to get a new car."
"That sounds just like what my dad said to my brother the other day." Cat interrupted.
"What happened to your brother?" Tori asked.
"He stole a loaf of bread, froze it and threw it through a window."
"So why was there blood everywhere?"
"Because my dad was standing on the other side of the window." She answered, before giggling childishly.
"How is that funny?" Beck asked, just as confused as Tori and his mother.
"It wasn't. It was actually really scary."
"So why were you giggling?" Tori replied.
"I was thinking of this other time, when I found this frog and named him Warty, because I thought he was a toad, but then I found out he was a frog and frogs don't have warts."
"I'm just going to check on Jade." Theresa excused herself, not understanding anything Cat said.
"I'll join you." Tori added, following her out of the room.

"And then there were two." Beck began as the door shut behind Tori.

"Okay, your turn, truth or dare?" Jade asked as they waited for the water to make it to the level of the fan.
"Dare."
"I dare you to...swim down and touch the floor."
"Lame."
"Well what else can I say?"
"You could say, I dare you to kiss me."
"Nope, now swim." She stopped him, pushing his head underwater. She watched him swim down to the bottom of the flooded room and then back to the surface where she was.
"Your turn, truth or dare." He repeated.
"Dare."
"I dare you to kiss me."
"Truth." She quickly changed.
"Why won't you kiss me?"
"I'm Beck's girlfriend. I'm not going to cheat on my boyfriend whether you're real or not."
"But he's kissed Tori and Cat."
"So?"
"And you've only kissed Beck."
"So? She repeated.
"Well isn't that unfair?"
"He was acting, both times."
"Well we could say we're acting."
"Beckett, no." She demanded.

"Are you actually going to check on Jade?" Tori asked as they arrived at her room.
"She still looks the same." Theresa answered after peering through the window in the door. "I'm gonna go have some lunch or something. You can go in if you want to."
"Okay, bye Mrs Oliver." She said as she pushed the door open and pressed it hard behind her.

Okay, voila. I'm finally finished after working on this for about two days. (Not finished the story, just this chapter.) And yes, I am going to put a little Jori in there. Hehe :3 But don't worry, it's still a Bade story, just with a little Jori scene.

Anyway, I'm not sure if I've said this before, but I've come up with an ending for my story. I think you guys are gonna love me, and if I add in the other little piece I was going to add in, you guys might hate me. So... I don't know. It's a good storyline, which you'll all love and hate at the same time.

Til then,
Luvv ya,
