Summery: Jade has been helping out with her best friend and his family. When she doesn't show up for breakfast one morning Beck KNOWS something's wrong. He finds Jade sick as a dog and he's so concerned he insists that they go to the hospital. She is diognosed with cancer and the odds are none too good but Beck is determined NOT to lose the woman he loves

Jade groaned as she woke up. Her eyes hurt. Her stomach was killing her. She was stuffed up and could hardly move.
Come on Jade, get up, she told herself but her body wouldn't comply with her mind. She looked at the clock. It was 6:15. Maybe if she just went back to sleep for ten minutes…
She just meant to fall asleep for a few more minutes but a few more minutes turned to be 2 ½ hours. She was just so weak. She groaned. She had overslept. Oh this was so not good. She couldn't believe she did this. A gentle knock at the door woke her up. Beck had come in.
Beck gasped as he saw the horrible state Jade was in, she looked horribly ill.
"Jade, whats wrong?" He asked, rushing to her side.
"Nothing, I just feel..." Jade doubled over in pain and Beck glanced down at her anxiously
"We've got to get you to a hospital, or the doctors. You look so ill," Beck put his arms around Jade but she pushed him away.
"No, I'll be fin-" Jade doubled over again and Beck knew that she had to get a doctor.
"We're going to the hospital," He said firmly.
"No Beck, I'll be fine once I eat something," Jade replied weakly.
"You look far from fine to me. I'm sorry Jade, but we're going to a hospital whether you like it or not"
"But there's so much I have to do," she said
"Yeah," Beck replied, "And staying alive is at the top of the list!"
She shivered. He took his coat and wrapped it around her. He carried her to the car.
"Olivia," he said to his older sister who was home from college, "If mom asks tell her something came up and I'll be home as soon as I can. Tell the others not to worry"
"Sure thing kid," Olivia said just as Jade threw up all over his shoes.
"Omgosh I'm so sorry," she said starting to cry. He pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back.
"You have nothing to apologize for," he said, "you're sick"
He should have recognized the signs. She hadn't been as energetic lately. It would take her 10x as long as it used to take her to do even the simplest of things. Last week she fell asleep in the middle of breakfast. He didn't have much time to think about that as the hospital was only minutes away.
Jade threw up two more times during the short journey to the hospital, worrying Beck highly. She hadn't eaten a decent meal in days, she shouldn't be throwing up like this. Unless the fact that she hadn't been eating was the reason she was throwing up.
Beck took his eyes off the road for a split-second to look at Jade, who was shivering like crazy. She was also sweating. It was like some crazy fever, but it seemed so much worse.
"We're here," Beck stated as he pulled up.
"I don't need to be here, I'll be fin-" Jade doubled over in pain, her face scrunching up. After that, she promptly threw up again.
"Beck, I'm so sorry," Jade apologized frantically but Beck brushed her apologies away.
"No Jade, you're sick. I'm not blaming you for anything, I can clean the car and replace my shoes. You and your health matter more," He said firmly, leading her into the hospital.
The receptionist took one look at Jade before paging a doctor immediately. He was there within minutes, and they led Jade to a ward. The doctor took down her name, address and some other details before inspecting her.
"We need to run some tests, would you like Mr...?" The doctor gestured to Beck for his name.
"Beck Oliver."
"...Mr. Oliver to stay with you?" The doctor asked and Jade nodded weakly.
"Yes please."
Beck stayed with his girlfriend the whole time. He would never forget the first time they were officially a couple. She had come into his room. They had started talking. He had said something that somehow she found hilariously funny. Suddenly he leaned forward and their lips met in a gentle kiss. It was the second time they kissed. This time they both knew it was real. Jade and Beck announced that they were a couple that night at dinner. Nobody was surprised, particularly Olivia. His younger sister Ginessa was none too pleased because she was afraid that Beck would no longer love her if she were dating Jade. Some quick reassurances later and Ginessa was fine. Callou, his 7 year old sister was crazy about Jade and was thrilled. Jade was a strong girl and she tried very hard to keep herself in control but not days later a sickness seemed to take hold. He actually took over her responsibilities for her because she could hardly stay awake a few days ago. They thought it was just the flu but Beck and Jade bought knew it was more. They didn't know what it was. They didn't know her stomach was riddled with cancerous tumors. Now as Jade was sleeping… they had given her something for the pain the doctor came in.
"Mr. Oliver," he said, "We have your girlfriend's test results. Please come with me"
Beck followed the Doctor into his office, his hands shaking anxiously. Beck fiddled with his hair, like he did when he was nervous.
"I'm not going to eat around the bush here, Jadelyn West has cancer. Her stomach is covered in tumors," The Doctor stated and Beck's heart stopped.
"You're kidding me right?"
"I am deadly serious Mr. Oliver, I'm very sorry," The Doctor bowed his head and Beck nodded blindly before the Doctor began talking about treatments and medicine and drugs.
"I'm not the one you should be trying to convince, I'm not the one with cancer. You should be talking to Jade about this," Beck raised an eyebrow at the Doctor but he wasn't phased.
"I'm telling you this, because if Jadelyn refuses, then you can convince her," The doctor explained, "You should go. Jadelyn is stirring," The doctor pointed to Jade, who was sat up. Beck rushed out of the office and back to his ill girlfriend.
"Beck, what is wrong with me?" Jade asked and Beck bit on his lip. She's going to find out soon anyway, so why shouldn't he tell her.
"You have cancer baby," Beck whispered and Jade turned, if possible, whiter.
"God no," Jade bit on her lip, tears springing to her eyes, "Am I going to die? There's so much I didn't get to do!"
"You won't die baby, I promise I will do everything in my power to stop you from dying."\Beck was explaining about the treatments and the surgery and everything the doctor explained to him.
"But I have responsibilities," she said weakly, "How am I supposed to-"
"Jade look at me," Beck said gently lifting her chin to cajole her to look into his eyes, "First of all you have cancer. You primary responsibility is to get better. We all love you. I mean the fact is you're a member of the family. There are going to be some changes now. First of all you're going to move into the main house and the family quarters so that I will be able to keep an eye on you. Your needs as well as anything you might want will be provided for you. You will be going to your apointments as much as you need to and I will be going with you. You will be making sure to take your medication as prescribed and I will be there when you take it to make sure that you're taking it correctly. You'll have someone caring for you as well. I love you too much. I refuse to loss you. We're in this together."
She nodded and made a vow to him that she would have the treatment and do whatever it took to get better.
