A/N: Hey guys, I didn't like the scene in which Beck gave Jade a time out. As funny as it can be he had no right to do that. So this is my Revenge on Beck literally. I have no idea where I am going with this but I promise I will get them back together in the end somehow.
There she was sitting on Tori's steps with a serious expression on her face. His words were swirling inside her head. "Okay, that's a timeout, Go and sit on the steps". He hadn't even given her a chance to explain herself.
"Who does he think he is?" thought Jade. "My dad?"
Then it hit her. Her mother's words started to echo inside her head.
"Jade, I know you are upset about the divorce and I don't blame you. You have every right to be mad. I don't think you would understand this but I will tell you this anyway. As human beings we all need love but just love is not enough. We all deserve to be loved, respected, and appreciated and most of all we deserve to be happy"
"Jade, I wish I could have given you all that but I couldn't. It takes two hands to clap, two wings to fly, two legs to walk. And it takes both mommy and daddy to maintain a happy family. As long as he doesn't respect me or appreciate me I can't be happy. When I am not happy you are not happy. I have seen the pain in your eyes every time we fight. I don't want you to suffer because of me. That's why I decided to leave your dad."
"Jade, my biggest regret in life is not noticing beforehand the little things about my relationship with your dad, you know how he never agreed with me, how he always sided against me, how he never appreciated me, how he never respected me, how he never gave me a chance to explain my self, how he used to boss me around, the kind of things that made it difficult to live with him. If I did may be I wouldn't have married him at all and you would have had a happy childhood"
"Jade, one day you will meet a handsome guy and fall in love with him. When that happens make sure he is a person who loves you, cares about you, appreciates you and respects you. Make sure he is a guy that can keep you happy, a guy that you can live with, a guy that you can have a happy family with. Keep your eyes open for little warning signs. Don't make the mistake I made because if you do its not just you who will suffer, your kids will too"
"Jade, please remember I left your dad, not you. You can come to me any time you want. I respect your decision to stay with him but I want you to remember, I will always love you "
Jade opened her eyes to see Beck talking with Tori; it looked like they were flirting. Okay may be they weren't flirting but they looked extremely happy in each other's company.
"May be that's what mommy talked about" thought Jade
To her it was clear that Beck respected and appreciated Tori more than her. He also seemed to be much happier around her. May be he loved her much more too. Then another realization hit her. She had lost this battle against Tori long time ago. Ever since Tori came he had treated her more like a father than a boyfriend. He tried to discipline her occasionally and she couldn't believe that she had let him after all she had a father and she didn't need another one. May be he just stayed around her just to make sure she would not hurt Tori.
"How pathetic can I be?" she asked her self
It was pathetic to stay in a relationship with a man who didn't love, appreciate or respect her. Was she that desperate? She knew she deserved better, every human being does.
"Hey Jade" called Beck "Say sorry to Tori, and I will end your time out"
She ignored him. She wanted to shout at Beck and tell him that he can't control her. But right then she was feeling so weak and she was in the verge of tears. Besides if fighting would make him fall in love with her and make him treat her right, it would have happened a long time ago. What she had to do was really evident she has to let go of him. She has to move on because she deserved better.
The silence said it all. Something was definitely wrong. Normally Jade would yell at Beck or say something sarcastic. But she didn't.
Beck went to her knelled down in front of her and gazed in to her blue eyes. They looked like she was about to cry.
"What's wrong Jade?" he asked her, she didn't reply. This version of jade scared him. She looked so sad and vulnerable. And after what seemed like eternity she said in a barely audible voice.
"Say you love me?"
"Magic Word?" said Beck
She gave out a loud sigh and stood up. She walked around thinking over things. She hated those eyes. For a moment she got lost in them. For a moment they had made her brain stop working. But the words "Magic word?" was like a slap across her face. It made her come out of the trance. Mustering all the courage she has, she looked straight in to his eyes and said
"Beckā¦, I think we should see other people"
