In this story, an accident causes Jade to change the way she acts. At first her friends are happy but…will the real Jade ever come back?
This story takes place well after Tori Goes Platinum. Tori and the rest are in senior year. Beck and Jade are back together. Jade and Tori are friends, but nonetheless Jade continues to be mean to Tori (and the others) from time to time.
Though Beck and Jade are together again, their relationship is not perfect. They love each other a lot and never want to break up again, but Beck continues to wish his girlfriend was a little bit nicer to other people.
It was a nice and sunny day in Los Angeles, California. It was Friday, everyone was having lunch while making plans for later that evening.
**Asphalt Café**
Andre: I'm so bored. Anyone have plans for later?
Robbie: No. Rex was gonna go out with some Northridge girls but they cancelled.
Jade: Good for them!
Tori: Jade, don't be mean. Anyway, I was thinking we could all go rock climbing at that new indoor rock climbing place. What's it called?
Jade: Oh, you mean that "Rock On" place? It only opened four days ago.
Tori: Yes, that's the one. I hear it's super cool and they have great food too.
Andre: wait, wait, wait…
/*Everyone stares at Andre*/
Beck: dude, you were saying?
Andre: oh yeah…Tori? Are you sure you want to go rock climbing?
Tori: Yeah, why not?
Cat: I thought you were terrified of heights
Tori:: AHA! Not anymore. I am no longer the safe and boring Tori. From now on, I'm a risk taker.
/*Everyone*/: Ooooookaaaaay.
Tori: Oh come on guys, give me a break. Anyway, I'm going. Anyone want to join me?
Jade: Okay, I'll go
Beck: Me too, sounds like fun.
Robbie: I'm not sure, it sounds a bit dangerous.
Tori: there is NOTHING to worry about Robbie, come on, it will be fun.
Andre: okay then, count me in
Cat: Me too. I always wanted to go rock climbing.
Robbie: I guess I'm in too. I think
Tori: YAY! This will be so much fun.
Everyone: (unenthusiastically) oh yay….
***Beck's Car. 5:50pm***
Jade: I have a feeling this place is gonna be packed with people.
Beck: So? What's the problem with that?
Jade: We're gonna have to wait for hours to get a turn. I hate waiting.
Beck: Don't be so impatient. We can talk with our friends to stay entertained in the meantime.
Jade: Oh yay that will be so much fun (sarcastically).
Beck: Seriously, Jade? I love you with all my heart and soul, but I really wish you'd at least make an effort to be nicer and more considerate of other people
Jade: Don't tell me how to be considerate. You weren't exactly being considerate of me last year before the Platinum Music Awards when you tried to kiss Tori. Tori of all people
Beck: I thought we went over this already. I told you I was just trying to forget about you. I thought kissing another girl would help.
Jade: That makes you a jerk. Did you know that?
(Beck's pear phone beeps)
Beck: Ok look I really don't need this from you right now (checks phone) and…oh look, Britney Spears is rumored to be dating one of her security guar…
Jade: (yells) Beck watch out!
(Car brakes hard)
Beck: Oh, sorry my bad
Jade: "My Bad"? You need to stop being so careless.
Beck: And you, my dear, need to stop being such a drama queen.
Jade: Drama queen? We came THIS close to a big truck.
Beck: (sighs) Ok, ok. Sorry.
Jade: I really wish you'd pay more attention to the road and less attention to your Celebrity Gossip Alerts
Beck: But they give me up to date information on…
Jade: I really don't care
Beck: Of course you don't.
Jade: Whatever, we're here. Let's just go and meet the rest. Thank you for almost killing me though.
Beck: (to himself) I really wish she wasn't such a drama queen
***Rock On: 6:15pm***
As expected, the place was packed. The only area with available spots was the "free climbing" area (meaning, no harness. Typically used by advanced climbers).
Tori: Okay so we have a few options, free climbing or waiting 4 hours.
Jade: Why don't we go somewhere else instead?
/*Everyone*/: yeah, let's go
Andre: You know, I have to agree with Jade here
Tori: No, you guys. I really want to do this. Pleeease?
Robbie: But there are no harnesses available, it's dangerous.
Tori: Yes but they provide mats, and if we do this two at a time then two other people can serve as spotters.
Beck: She has a point
Andre: So how are we gonna do this?
Tori: Me and Jade go first. Andre you can spot me, and I'm sure Beck can spot Jade.
Beck: Fine with me
Jade: Okay whatever, let's do this
**15 minutes later**
Andre: (To Tori) Ready?
Beck: (To Jade) Ready?
Tori and Jade: (simultaneously) YES! Now quit asking "ready?" every 15 seconds
The two girls begin climbing. Jade is doing fine. Tori seems to struggle a little bit.
Beck: Good job babe!
Jade: Yeah, whatever.
Andre: Tori, you okay?
Tori: ummm, uuummmm, I'm not sure
Andre: what do you me…
Tori: (freaking out) I CAN'T DO THIS, I CAN'T DO THIS, I'm out of here
(Tori gets down with Andre's help)
Andre: Well okay, that was fast. Who's next?
Cat: Oh ME ME ME, please please with a red velvet cupcake on top
Andre: Okay lil red. You know what to do.
Cat: Yay I get to go all the way to the top.
Cat had no problem climbing, giggling her way to the top. Then as she was about to reach the top, Jade begins to descend.
Beck: You're doing great Jade
Jade: I know
But just as Jade was making her way down, Beck got distracted by a text message. He then reads the message, which was a Celebrity Gossip Alert text about David Letterman. He was too preoccupied with the text, that he didn't notice that Jade lost her footing while she was coming down. And just like that Jade's body hits the ground, hard.
Jade: ahh!
Tori: Jade, oh my god, Jade!
Robbie: Are you okay
Beck: (To himself) Oh great, just great. I'm so dead now
Tori: Beck, WHAT did you DO?
Rex: He DIDN'T do anything, that's the problem
Tori: Jade's unconscious. We need to call 911
Beck:…..
Tori: Beck say something
Beck: I think I'm going to pass out (/*faints*/)
Rex: oh great, now we need TWO ambulances
Cat: Hey look, I'm on top of the world!
Andre: Cat get down from there, but REAL slow please
Cat: kk
Tori: please Jade, say something, please.
Cat: why is Beck sleeping
Rex: he has an overdose
/*Everyone*/: WHAT?
Rex: Yeah, an overdose of GUILT, muahahaha
Robbie: Rex!
(Everyone stare at Rex)
Rex: You can all stare at me all you want, but it's true.
Jade is unconscious and in pretty bad shape. An ambulance has been called and is on the way to take Jade to the hospital. Will she be OK? Will she be able to forgive Beck? Will Beck be able to deal with the guilt of putting his girlfriend in danger (again)? Find out in next chapter.
