New Beginnings
Chapter 1
Long Road to Recovery
[Isis's POV]
"Where are you going?" Italy asked as she stood up from the porch swing with Ikenzie mimicking her move.
"Home. I got some stuff to get." I said nonchalantly as I continued my walk to my car.
"Can we go?"
"Ikenzie you have homework you still have yet to finish." I said as I turned around and crossed my arms.
She just shrugged. "I,I don't really w,wanna go anyways."
"Alright well tell Nana we'll be right back." I said as I turned around and continued to my car with Italy following behind. I unlocked my doors and hopped in, Italy mimicking my moves. "Don't touch my radio." I glared at Italy whose hand was already on its way to my music system as soon as she got in the car.
"Sorry." She threw her hands up and sat back and started to rub her small belly.
"What are you naming that baby anyways?" I asked as I rolled my window down slightly as pulled from the driveway.
"She's a her, not a that and Kemistry."
"Kemistry? That's a stupid name. That's not even a name."
She gasped. "Isis is a stupid name. You're named after ice."
"No I'm not, shut the hell up."
"So what's up with you and Monica these days?"
"Fuck her." I said as I put my arm out of the window and drove with one hand.
"You don't mean that. You know you still like her."
"No I don't."
"What happen?" She asked as she turned all the way to me.
"Just drop it. Fuck it, fuck her."
She sighed as she leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. "You guys will end up back together, watch."
"Yeah, in your dreams."
She laughed. "It would be kind of creepy to dream about you and Monica. Plus I'm not really on the gay bandwagon."
"It's not a bandwagon!" I yelled at her before running my fingers through my hair. "Just drop it all."
She giggled as she sat back and put her hands back to her belly.
I wonder how it feels to have a baby in your stomach…?
"What the hell?" I said as we approached our house.
"What?" Italy said as she looked up from her stomach. "Oh my god, what's going on?"
In front of our house were two ambulances and three police cars and a car unknown. My heart started to beat faster as I sped up and pulled roughly into our driveway in which a cop was looking at me as if I had no business being there.
"What's going on!?" I yelled out as I hopped from my car.
"Excuse me ma'am, you can't be here right no-"
"-Hell if I can't! This is my house! What's going on!?"
"Ma'am calm down. There's been an accident."
"What kind of accien-" I stopped mid-sentence as my gaze went behind him. I pushed passed him to see two paramedics rolling out a stretcher with Cat on it.
"Cat!" I said as I ran over to her with Italy following close behind.
"Mom! God what happen to her!?" Italy screamed out to a paramedic as tears filled her eyes and started to fall quickly.
"She has a severe concussion. We believe she's fallen down the stairs. We need to get her medical attention immediately, so please step aside ma'am."
"Where's Jade!?" I yelled out but it seemed as if no one heard me.
"Can I please go, this is my mother!" Italy cried as she grabbed onto Cat's hand and pleaded to the paramedics who agreed to let her go.
"I'll meet you there." I yelled out to Italy before running to the open door of my house. There were a few people downstairs in suits talking that I didn't recognize and once I stepped in they all turned to me.
"Ma'am, excuse me, who are-"
I didn't let them finish as I ran up the stairs to where I saw Andre sitting at the top with his hands to his face.
"What the hell is going on!?" I said as I ran up to him.
He instantly looked up at me with red puffy eyes as he stood up quickly and grabbed onto me gently. "Isis…let's go downstairs okay." He said trying to get me to walk back down the stairs but I yanked away from him and refused.
Someone is going to tell me what the fuck is going on!
"Tell me what the hell is happening! What happened to Cat!? Where is my mother!?"
He shook his head as he tried again to get me to go downstairs and that's when I noticed the door to my parent's room marked off with yellow DON'T CROSS tape and my heart dropped.
I pushed hard passed him as I tried to run to the room but I felt big arms wrap around me and turned me around. "Isis, no, go downstairs." Andre said firmly as he held me tight.
"Let me go! What the hell is going on!? Tell me now!"
"I'll tell you, just go downstairs. You shouldn't be up here."
"NO!" I screamed out as I kicked my foot up kicked him right in his dick that made him loosen his grip and I got away.
I sprinted all the way to my parent's room before stopping at the door and looking in.
"ISIS NO!"
The first and only thing I could see was blood. There was blood everywhere. On the walls behind their bed and all over their head board all over their bed and then my eyes fell to her face.
I gasped as my hand went to my mouth. "M…Ma..."
"Hey, you can't be up here."
"Get her out of here."
"Isis!" I once again felt the huge arms grab onto me but this time the arms scoped me and ran me down the stairs and out of the house.
"Isis." He said as he put me back to my feet. He just stared at me for a moment as I stood in silence.
Everything around me started to spin as my stomach did flips making me hunch over and throw up everything I've eaten for the past 16 years. My heart couldn't beat, my lungs couldn't find air, my eyes couldn't blink, my mind couldn't function, my legs gave in.
"Isis…Isis, I'm sorry." Were the only words I heard before being held in a tight embrace on the ground. "You weren't supposed to see that." He said in a shaky voice against me, but..I…I don't understand. What the hell is happening?
"Wake up." I told myself aloud once I found out how to use my mouth.
"What?" Andre said as he pulled out of his embrace to look at me. I looked him in his eyes. "Wake up. I need to wake up." I whispered in a firm voice.
I know I'm dreaming, this is a nightmare. It's one of those dreams where you know you are dreaming, I just have to wake up now.
"I'm dreaming."
I watched as Andre shook his head.
"I'm dreaming." I stated again as my heart found its way to beat again as it started to beat so hard in my chest that it hurt.
I watched as he put his head down. "I'm sorry Isis."
I started to shake my head as tears filled my eyes and everything inside me started to burn with fire.
"Come here." He said as he put his arms out but I hit them away before punching him in his chest softly.
"Nooo. Noooooo." I whispered as I felt my eyes fill with tears and my heart twist and turn. "This isn't real, it's not real."
He took his hand and wiped down his face wiping his own tears away. "Ice…" Was all he said before grabbing me to him and holding me tight against him.
My chin went to rest on his shoulder as I watched a stretcher and two paramedics leave the house just as they had with Cat, but this one was different. It was covered. And I screamed. I screamed loudly as I broke free from Andre and started to run to the covered body, but he grabbed me again, he held me back.
"Noooooo, nooooo, NOOOOOOOO, JADEEEEE, MOMMMMMMM! NOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed as I my legs gave out again and my knees hit the ground.
Tears started to stream from my eyes like a waterfall as he grabbed my head and buried my face in his stomach not letting me turn my head in any kind of way to see her again as I cried into him hard.
I just want to die…
[Andre's POV]
2 Days Later
I sat beside the hospital bed of Cat and held onto her hand tight as her chest heaved up and down by a machine.
She's been out for 2 whole days but just moments ago I saw her fingers move and I knew she was waking up.
"Cat." I said as I brought my other hand to her face.
Her eyes opened slightly as she looked up at the ceiling.
"Cat."
She turned her head slightly and let her gaze fall onto me. "….A….An…dre."
"Mom!" I heard Italy scream as she ran into the room dropping the book she had in her hands before running over to her. "Mom…" She cried hard as Cat looked over at her.
I watched as Cat slowly brought her hand up to Italy's face. "…Bu..tterfly….don't…c…ry."
"Italy go get the doctor." I said to her in which she nodded and kissed her mother's hand before leaving.
The doctor ran into the room within seconds and asked me to step back as he checked on things like Cat's heart and blood pressure before checking machines.
"Caterina, can you hear me?"
She nodded.
"Can you talk to me?"
"Y..yes." She said more firm than the voice she was talking to me with.
"Can you tell me the last thing you remember?"
She closed her eyes tight for a moment before opening them. "J…Jade."
"What about Jade?"
"She….she pushed me…I wen…went down the…stairs."
The doctor nodded. "Very good."
I watched as the doctor put his hand in hers. "Caterina, I want you to squeeze my hand as hard as you can."
I watched as her hand squeezed his and from what I could see it was pretty tight.
He then moved to her legs and lifted the covers so that her legs were free. He tapped the tip of her toe. "Can you feel that?"
She nodded.
"Can you lift only your right leg for me?" And she did was she was told without a problem before the doctor asked her to do the same with her other leg.
He then moved to the other side of her body asking her to queeze his hand with the opposite hand than before.
"Is she okay?" Italy asked as she hung onto me.
"She's looking great. We'll run a few mind test, but it doesn't look as if she's suffered any long term trauma from her concussion or the fall. She'll be fine." He said as he punched in something on one of her machines before telling us he'll be back soon and left the room.
"Andre.." She said and both I and Italy jumped up and ran other to her side. "..W..where's Jade?"
Italy immediately hiccupped as she back away from the bed and started to cry as softly as she could, but her cries were loud and harsh.
I turned to her and put hand on her shoulder. "You have to calm down Italy. It's not good for the baby. So breathe. Everything will be okay. Go back out to the lobby with Kodak. Tell them to send Beck in here."
She nodded as she tried to calm down and left the room.
"..Andre…"
"Hang on Little Red." I said as I waited for Beck and he finally walked in with his head down and his hands in his pocket. "How is she?"
"She's awake."
"Beck?" She called out at she looked over to him.
He walked over and grabbed onto her hand. "Hey Cat."
"I… thought you were supposed to be in New York for 2 weeks."
"I flew in when I heard the news."
"W..what news?" She looked around with confusion. "I'm fine…you didn't have t..o come for me.."
I sighed as well as Beck.
"We have something to tell you Cat."
"W…what?"
We both grabbed onto both of her hands tight. Beck looked over at me and in which I looked back at him. There's no way I can give her this news. I just can't be the one to tell her that the love of her life is gone.
He sighed again as he ran his hand through his hair with his free hand.
"What is it?" Cat asked impatiently as she sat up a little.
"Jade…." He stopped as he turned away from her.
"Jade what?"
Beck looked at me. I could tell this was just as hard for him as it was for me and he is already dealing with his own wife just now being released from the hospital this morning.
I reached down and cupped her small face. "She's gone Cat."
She furrowed her brows. "W…what?...What do you mean she's…she's gone? I..I don't understand."
But she does. I know she understands. She just needs confirmation and it's hard enough telling her once but to tell her twice is killing.
"She committed suicide Cat." Beck just blurted out.
I watched as Cat's nose turned red and her eyes filled with tears. "..W…what?"
"I'm so sorry Little Red."
She shook her head. "I..noo, I don't…I don't understand Andre."
I just nodded as tears fell from my own eyes.
Her bottom lip got wedge between her teeth as her lip quivered. Her breathing turned into small panting before her hands went to her face and she started to sob loudly.
I watched as Beck turned around and smacked the wall behind him as a tear fell from his own eyes before just leaving the room all together.
This has to be one of the hardest things to see your best friend go through; especially someone like Cat. This is going to be a long road to recovery for her and her kids.
I just can't believe this happened. Jade….ugh she was so damn close, so damn close to changing herself for Cat. It makes me so angry.
…..All I can do now is be here for this family. That's all anybody can do; show them support and love.
I'm sorry Cat….I'm so sorry…..
