Hey! Ok so this is my FIRST Victorious fanfic… A little background: I randomly saw it about a month ago and it got my attention because my name is Jade and I heard my name being called haha… and I ended up watching the whole series and loving it. Sooooo…. Yeah.

Anyways I've read a lot of Bade fanfics and there are a lot out there… but there is one version that I haven't seen yet about the "Worst Couple" episode so I thought I'd try it out and see how it goes. I have been writing this in a notebook in my free time.

Disclaimer: I do not own the show Victorious nor do I own the characters. I only own my OC and the idea that I'm using for the plot. This is the only time I will type in the Disclaimer because I see no sense in repeating something that if you really need to see it more than once… you can just come back to this page.

On with the story!

Summary: Beck regrets what he did. Jade is broken hearted and isolated. Before Beck has the chance to talk to her, the new kid steps in and takes his place. Does cool, collected Beck have a jealous side? How can he just stand by and watch as Jade shows up to school with black eyes and bruises?

~Black and Blue~

"TEN!" Jade shouted.

Beck didn't move. He just stood there, hand still on the door knob.

Jade paused, staring at the door in shock. She took a step towards the door and reached for the knob, but stopped. She'd seen it move… there was someone on the other side… someone who didn't want to come out. Someone who didn't want to come out to her. Someone who didn't want her.

'It's over.' She thought. She quickly turned away from the door and rushed to the car getting in and driving away.

Beck let out a low, shaky breath as he heard the car drive off. He turned and walked away from the door. "Let's play some cards." He said.

"Y-yeah." Tori said as he walked past. She gave Andre a look before following.

"I'll pick up the cards." Cat offered.

Jade pulled over a block away from Tori's. In her eagerness to escape, she'd forgotten that Beck had given her a ride… and she'd just driven off with his car. She cursed. Her eyes filled up with tears and she began to sob. She'd finally managed to drive off the only person she loves who loves… loved her in return. She opened the door and got out, grabbing all of her stuff, and began walking. She wiped the tears away and forced down her sobs. She'd have plenty of time… and privacy… to cry when she got home… and cry she would.

Beck tried to push down the panic, shame, and regret that threatened to choke him. He couldn't believe what he'd just done. He sighed as he once again played the events through his head, and groaned as he caught the worried expressions from his friends.

"Will you guys stop looking at me like that?"

"We're just worried Beck," Tori said. "You just broke up with Jade… your girlfriend of what, two and a half years?" She gave him a look. "It's normal to be upset."

"I'm not upset!" he lied. "Besides, I didn't break up with her."

"Yeah man," Andre argued "You did. She might have given you an ultimatum, but you decided. You didn't go after her, not even to try and bring her back in, or talk to her and fix things…" he looked Beck in the eye."Whether you meant to or not, you showed everyone… especially Jade that you didn't want to fix things." He moved a few chips into the pile and looked back at him. "You just ended it dude."

With those words, reality hit Beck square in the face. Jade wasn't just going off to brood because she didn't get her way… she was gone. He hadn't wanted to believe it when he heard her drive away.

He left her standing outside, probably shocked and hurt that he didn't so much as turn the handle.

It was over. He had just dumped her in front of their friends. He cursed and stood, throwing his cards to the table and shaking Trina off.

"Where are you going?" Trina cried out from her spot on the floor.

"I'm going after her!" Beck yelled.

"Beck stop!" Tori called grabbing his arm.

"No! I need to talk to her!" He said, tugging his arm.

Tori refused to let go. "You need to let her go." He looked at her like she was insane. "Not permanently!" she quickly added. She sighed and let go of his arm. "Look, the whole reason you two had this fight is because you keep fighting! Maybe you two need some time off so you can figure out why you keep fighting and why you two love each other."

"Cuz none of us can figure it out!" Rex said.

Tori grabbed the puppet out of Robbie's hands and tossed it across the room.

"REX!" Robbie yelled. Everyone glared at him.

Tori turned back to Beck. "Jade needs some time to gather herself. After what happened I'm sure she's angry and hurt. Going after her now will only add to her embarrassment and it won't solve anything. If you go now… you'll be back to where you started… fighting and arguing."

Beck looked away. "I'd rather be back to where we started than leaving her out there alone and thinking I don't love her." He said walking towards the door.

"No! Stop!" Trina called going after him. Tori let out a battle cry and tackled her sister to the ground.

"Beck!" Tori called, still wrestling Trina. "At least wait until tomorrow!"

He didn't answer her as he walked out of the door. He began to jog down the street when he saw his car. Rushing over to it he saw that it was empty. Jade had taken her things and walked home. He quickly got into the car and grabbed the spare key from beneath the seat. Her house was about a twenty minute drive from Tori's. It'd probably take her half an hour if not more. She was probably still walking home. Turning the car on Beck sped towards her house, keeping an eye on the sidewalks.

He found her walking about four or five blocks away from her house. He pulled over and followed her on foot.

"Jade!" he called. She stopped and turned around. He stopped in front of her. "Jade… we need to talk."

She glared at him. It was a weak glare, as if she hadn't the energy to give one of her usual death glares. "I think you've said enough the past few days." She whispered and turned to continue walking.

"Jade-" he started.

"NO!" she screamed, as she spun around. "You wanted to break up with me, we broke up! There's nothing more to say!"

"Yes there is!" he yelled back. "This is the problem! All we do is fight! All I wanted was less fighting! But you can't do that can you?"

"I can't do that? Our fights are happening because you start them!"

"Because you're always rude and mean to people!" he yelled. "Why can't you be nice? For crying out loud you kicked Tori off of a chair the other day! She's our friend!"

"She's your friend! Not mine!" she growled. "Just another girl who wants to get with you."

"God Jade! Tori is not trying to get with me! Why do you always cause problems like this for nothing? Why do you have to be such a BITCH?" he stopped. He hadn't meant to say that. He hadn't meant anything he just said. All he had wanted to do was apologize and take her home, tell her he loved her, that he always would, and make things up to her. Instead, he did this.

Jade's eyes filled with tears. "Well this bitch isn't your problem anymore." She turned and ran the rest of the way home.

Beck watched her run. He wanted so desperately to go after her and make things right. He wanted so badly to apologize and hold her in his arms, but he couldn't move. He was too ashamed of his actions.

Once Jade was out of sight he went back to his car. He slammed his fist into the door, letting out a string of curses. He got in the truck and slammed it shut. He turned it on and turned around.

As soon as Jade shut her bedroom door shut she collapsed. Her body wracked with sobs. She stayed on the floor until she heard her phone ring. She got up and picked up her house phone.

"Hello?" she answered in a hoarse voice.

"Jadeffer!" Cat's voice rang. Jade winced at the childhood nickname.

"What do you want Cat?"

"Are you ok?" Cat's voice was serious. Cat was rarely serious, but as Jade's oldest and, surprisingly, best friend, she knew when she was needed. "I tried calling your cell. You didn't answer."

Jade looked at her cell phone. It was on silent, 24 missed calls. "I'm fine." She lied putting her cell phone in her pocket.

"Jadeffer." Cat warned.

"I just… I can't talk about it right now."

"Ok… sleepover at my house tomorrow after school?"

"How about we skip school and you stay at my place?" Jade asked.

"Sure! Your place has more privacy anyways." She giggled. "See you at eight!"

"Thanks Kit Kat." Jade said. They said their goodbyes and she hung up.

'What now?' she thought. She curled up on her bed. What was she going to do without Beck? Her heart twinged with pain. She was alone again. She sat up and got on the Slap. She looked at her profile, the pictures, the videos she made with Beck. 'It's all over now.' She clicked 'edit profile' and stared at her relationship status.

She had to do it now, before she couldn't do it, before she lost her nerve. 'like a bandaid.' She thought. She closed her eyes and clicked.

Her profile read 'Single'. She closed her laptop. It hurt a lot more than a bandaid… and she didn't think that it was going away anytime soon.

Beck sighed as he plopped down on his bed. He tried sending texts and calling Jade, but he'd gotten no replies back. He grabbed his laptop… she wasn't online… then he pulled up the slap and clicked on her profile. He paused, looking at her relationship status.

"Single." He read it out loud. He unwillingly changed his status to the same. If people saw that hers was single and his wasn't they'd start talking and saying he left her for another girl. Rumors like that would add fuel to the fire. He cursed and slammed his computer shut. He needed to fix this soon. He'd sit Jade down tomorrow and fix it.

~END OF PROLOGUE~
