The Break Up

Beck approached me slowly, while I was opening my locker. "Hey Jade. You wanna go do something after school? Maybe just come to my place..watch a gory scary movie?" Beck said with uncertainty all while searching my face which was buried inside my locker suddenly finding it fascinating.

"Jade?" Beck asked a bit worried.

"Uhmm, yeah sure." I agreed without even looking at him.

Sikowitz' class was about to end in ten minutes, which I wished was ten hours. Ten days! I just didn't want to see Beck. It's been a while that we're so awkward with each other. Things just aren't the same anymore. I don't know when it happened, or why it happened, but my best guess is our spark just died. Our love was just temporary if you can call that love. I care for him, but it is becoming unbearable to be with him. Kiss him, hug him, hold his hand, have sex with him. It just feels weird and blah. Just blah! I don't really know how to explain it, but I want out of this relationship. I'll just tell him tonight.

Then a sing song cheery voice said, "Heeeeeey."

"Hey Cat." I said to the annoyingly sweet red head.

"What's wrong Jade?" She had a worried look.

"Nothing I'm fine. And even if something was wrong with me it is none of your business!" I glared at her, but instead of scaring her away like I hoped it only seemed to encourage her.

"Something is wrong. Or else you wouldn't have gotten so angry. Angrier than usual." She giggled.

"Whatever." And with that I left.

I drove to Beck's trailer, and knocked on his door. He opened the door and had a cheery smile on his face. "Hey."

"Hey."

"So what movie do you wanna watch?" Why is he so nervous? He has his hands in his jean pockets. His head bowed slighty..

"I don't want to watch any movie. I came because we need to talk." Yeah I know its fucking cliché 'we need to talk.' Whatever I don't care I have to get this over with.

"Jade. No."

I sat on the edge of his bed. "What do you mean no?" Did he know what I was gonna say? Of course he knew I threw the whole 'we need to talk' break up overused phrase.

"I don't want to hear it." He said it exasperated. "No. We are going to work through this. All couples go through this. The whole 'spark dying' crap. We just have to work through it."

"Beck. We've tried. We've tried everything. From new places to go, to new sexual…things, but nothing works." He looked offended and hurt. "Beck I can't. I cannot stay with you any longer. It doesn't feel right. It feels awkward and forced and…weird." I tried to be as calm as I could be.

"Please tell me you're not in love with someone else." He looked so pained. It hurt to see him like that. I mean sure I am not in love with the guy, but I do care for him.

"No. There's no one."

"Yeah you're right." He said after a few minutes of silence. Then he sat next to me and said, "We do need time off."

That's when I stood up. "No Beck you don't understand. This isn't a time out or break, whatever the fuck you want to call it. We're done. Finished." Damn I really wish I hadn't just said that in the annoyed, and angered tone over his denial.

His eyes watered, and he looked at me pleadingly. Fuck I fucked up. But I'm tired, and I don't do well comforting people. Nice is not my thing, so instead I get up and say, "I'll see you at school. I gotta go Beck." I'm looking straight forward even when I speak. I can't get myself to look at him, but I know he's staring at me wishing to show him sympathy, maybe even regret for my earlier words. "Bye." I walk to the door.

"Jade. I love you." He whispers, but I hear him. I don't look back. I can't. I simply open the door and leave.

Thank God it's Friday, so I don't have to see him tomorrow. Maybe he'll feel better over the weekend.

I get home, and go straight to my room. My father's home, but I don't bother to say hello. He doesn't like me very much and I don't care. I hadn't realized how long I had been at Beck's. When I was there I felt as if I went straight to the point and got it done with quickly. Apparently what felt like 30 minutes was actually 3 hours. I was tired, my brain hurt, so I went to sleep.


The next morning I woke up to some missing calls. Ten from Beck, and five from Cat. I wonder why she called. But if she called five times it must be something important, so I call her back. Within the first ring she answers her phone.

"Hello?"

"Why are you saying 'hello' like you don't know who it is? You have caller ID." I say irritated.

After she didn't respond, I said in a loud tone, "Why did you call me?"

"Oh, because I wanted to ask if I can come over?" she radiated happily. Ugh! I swear I get a little blinder every time I see her. That girl is just too bright.

"No" I say matter-of-factly.

"Ok." She says, and to my surprise she doesn't sound hurt. More like she didn't even hear what I just said.

I hang up on her. Do my morning routine, and head downstairs to eat some toast and drink my black coffee. I get changed, I don't know why but I don't like being in rags when I'm home only when I sleep. I mean something could happen. Something urgent, and in that case I'll be ready. And if some horrible emergency were to happen while I sleep…well it's more horrible when you wake me up. So no one will dare too, not even Mother Nature.

I was sitting on my bed watching True Blood on my TV. I detest the whole vampire fandom, and idiot followers of today, but you have to love True Blood with all the blood, and hardcore sex scenes. Ha! Eric just screwed Sookie. That'd show Bill. I don't like hi…

"Jade your friends here." My dad interrupts my thoughts knocking on my door.

"What friend?" I got up from my bed. Damn it I HATE it when people show up to my house unexpectedly! Besides no one ever comes except Beck and Cat. It's Cat. I'm sure. Only she comes to my house out of the blue unafraid of my wrath.

The door opens, and I see the red head. "Jaa-aade." She sing-songs with an open smile.

My dad says leaving us alone.

I have a scowl on my face, and I glare at her. "Cat!"

Then I see her reach the door. Close it and lock it.

I know I shouldn't be afraid since I'm the scary, tough one, but she gets me nervous. Something bad is gonna happen. Something weird. She hugs me tightly by my neck. I just stand there. Then she moves her hands to my cheeks, and she says, "It's going to be alright." She has a serious tone and her eyes are big, and somewhat sad.

Finally I move, I don't move her hands, but I move my arms in irritation. My eyes are big in confusement when I tell her, practically yell at her, "What. The fuck are you talking about? Why are you here? What the fuck!"

She lets go of me, and takes a step back. She tilts her head to the side and puts that confused puppy face look. "You don't look sad. You look mad, but you're always mad."

"Ugh! WHAT?" She is reeeally irritating me.

She moves her hands nervously, and in a concerned tone she says, "Well I thought you'd be sad over the break up with Beck. I mean you loved him so much and he just broke up with you like that. I wanted to see if you were okay." She looks up at me with those sweet overly glossy brown eyes.

"Well I'm not." Then it hits me. "Wait. Did you just say he broke up with me?"

"Yeah he called Tori and asked her on a date and when she asked him 'what about you' he mentioned he broke up with you and you were upset but that you'd get over it and I found out because she called me and told me he asked her on a date and that he left you." She said rapidly.

I process everything she says first, because she spoke way too fast. "Wow. Well that's a lie. I broke up with him, and I'm not even a tiny bit sad. You know what I don't care. He can say whatever he wants." I sat back on my bed.

Cat sat close to me, with her hands on her knees, and looked away shyly.

"You can go home now." I stated.

"But Jadeeeeeee. I'm already here. Let's do something fuuuun." She pushed me down lightly on my bed. God I hate that whiny voice of hers.

"No Cat. Go home. I'm tired."

"No you're not you liar. It's Saturday. You slept late."

"You say it so surely."

"I know you." She says and lies down next to me. I guess I don't mind the company. Yes Cat is too bright and talks too much, and is too innocent for my taste, but she's alright if she's quiet.

"Fine! Whatever. Just don't talk so much."

"Yay!" She jumps on me and hugs me.

"Cat!" She automatically gets off me.

"Can we watch a movie?"

"I was watching True Blood."

"What's that?" She asks tilting her head.

"Oh I'll show you." I smirk. Showing her some gore and graphic sex scenes should be fun.

I sit down leaning on the back of my bed, and Cat follows. Then I press play.
