As soon as Jade sat down on the steps Beck came and sat down next to her. She looked at him confused.

"Jade," he said gently, "What's with you babe?"

"Huh?"

"I didn't want to have this conversation in front of other people because I know you don't like people knowing your business but you've been weird lately. You get upset about things that generally wouldn't bother you. Why?"

A single tear made its way down Jade's eyes.

"Coco-puff died Monday," she said.

Coco-puff was Jade's beloved childhood dog. She was beyond distraught to find out her dog was dead.

"Oh Jade," he said pulling her into his arms, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know. If I know…"

She interrupted him with a kiss to which naturally he responded and kissed her back. When they broke apart he asked with a grin what that was for.

"For loving me," Jade said, "Even at my worst. For knowing I'm better then I sometimes act. I may not always say it and I'm not all mushy and gushy like some people are but I do love you. I just want you to know that"
