Author's note: Hey! This is my second BTR and Victorious crossover (read my series Making It Shine, Big Time). So I came up with this story randomly after I heard Liz's cover of "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman (Liz did an excellent job covering it!). I really love the song, it's like a story. Then I got an idea and decided to write a fanfic based on the song. I put Jade and Kendall cause they were very….different. I do ship KendallxLiz anyway. Oh, and it's Jade's P.O.V. Hope you favorite/follow it! PLEASE REVIEW! PM your suggestions!
Disclaimer: I don't own Big Time Rush or Victorious. Enjoy! Oh, each chapter is based on every verse of the song. You will start reading after I say….. "BIPPITY BOPPITY BOO!"
I ran away. I ran away from my problem. I ran away from their fight. I just couldn't take it. I drank the bottle of liquor I brought with me. I continue running. I didn't even know where I was going. I was drunk. Then, my world became black. I heard glass breaking. The last thing I saw was a pair of green eyes.
"Martha, you came back,"
"I came back for Jade, she can't stay here with you. You're a psychopath!"
"Mom?"
"Come on Jadelyn, let's live somewhere better than that thing."
"THING? That's what you called me?"
"Come on Jade, let's go."
"No."
"No?"
"I may not be that close with dad but someone has to take care of him. He's my dad!"
"Jadelyn!"
"No! I have scissors!"
"See, she loves me more than you."
"NO I DON'T!"
I screamed. I took a bottle of liquor and ran. I pushed my brother out of the way.
"MOVE!" I hiss. I ran down the hill.
"Hey," a voice said. "Hey," it said again. I see the faint color of green eyes I saw before I passed out.
"Wh-wha? Who are you?" I stutter and I start to sit.
"No, lay down." I realized it was a dude's voice and he was above me.
"A-are you going to rape me? I have scissors." I say, scared. I'm never scared. I was the bad one. But, I was scared of having an unknown dude on top of me. That Diaper dude almost got me after the prom thanks to sweet little Vega.
"No, I'm not going to hurt you," the guy says. My vision was now clear. I saw a blonde with green eyes. He was not trying to rape me. He was taking care of me. He was putting a damp cloth on my forehead. "Wait here." He leaves. I look around. I'm in an apartment. I believe he's a musician. He had posters of rock legends everywhere. He also had some instruments.
He came back with a tray; it had two mugs on it. He hands me a mug of coffee, my favorite. I just look at it. "Better warm up your body," he said.
"Who are you? Where am I? What happened? " I ask sternly.
He smiles. Uh, he's so creepy. "I'm Kendall Knight, you're in my apartment. Well, you were running with a bottle of liquor in your hand and you ran into a lamp post."
"Why are you being so nice to me? You should've just left me there," I hiss. I sip some of the coffee. It's actually pretty yummy, I wonder what brand he uses.
"I couldn't have just left you there. You looked pretty troubled," he says.
"Oh, yes I was prettyyy troubled. That's why you should've just left me there. I wanted to be alone. And then, you just show up," I hiss. I really don't get why he would help a crazy girl with a bottle of alcoholic beverage in her hand running down the street. I wouldn't. I'd probably just laugh at her.
"I just had to, you looked so helpless," he says. Me? Helpless? Pshhh…
"Don't worry you can tell me," he says willingly.
"You happened to see my running down the street and bring me to your apartment. Then, you gave me rich coffee. Now, I tell you my story, why don't we just make out then?" I say sarcasticly.
He raises an eyebrow. "Seriously, I really can listen. I don't just pick up girls and kiss 'em and throw them away. Girls are humans too," he crosses his arms.
Beck never listened. And girls always stare at him, I thought. I just drank more of my coffee.
"So, what's your name?" he asks normally. Huh, he was treating me like usual.
"I'm West. Jadelyn. But please, call me Jade. I'd kill you if you called me Jadelyn." I drink more coffee.
"You really love coffee don't you, Jade?" he asks.
"Oh I love coffee alright. I don't just really like it, like seriously, I'd marry coffee if I could," I say as I take another sip.
He raises an eyebrow and laughs. "You know, you're pretty cool, Jadelyn."
I glare at him. "Don't call me that, dude or I'll kill you."
"Jadelyn."
"That's it!" I jump on him and try to kill him, but I can't. He turns to pin me down.
"I'm not taking it easy on you even though you're a girl, ya know, Jadelyn," he says with a chuckle.
I grunt. He laughs. I manage to laugh too. His laugh is contagious. You know, I had fun with him in 5 minutes more than Beck and I had in 2 years. I managed to forget him after I quit school.
"Let me send you home," he said. He helps me up. "You know, I could've killed you back then," I said.
"Oh, I know," Kendall says. Woah, I actually called him Kendall. "Where's your house?"
"Bayview Avenue, it's up a hill near the place I blacked out." I hop into his car. "Nice car," I say.
"Thanks," he says. "So tell me," he says.
I look at him. "What's your problem?" he asks and he looks at me with those green eyes.
"Well, you see, my parents are fighting. And I ran away. Always was like that. This time, I brought one of my dad's liquor bottles. I didn't know what type it was," I said.
"From what I could tell, it was whiskey," he said. "Do they always fight?"
"Yeah, as I said, they do. But, not always. My mom left him with my little brother, I stayed behind to take care of him," I say. "I really want to leave now. Not with my mom. But, out of here."
"Yeah, I always wanted to leave too….My sister is 17 and next year she's graduating, she lives with my mom. I was in a band, Big Time Rush. We all are still close buddies but they all went to college. I decided to go solo. But, I felt like I wanna leave this town. I had problems with some of the celebrities who dish me," he said.
"Maybe we can leave…..together?" I blurted out. Damn, why did I just say that? He looks at me.
"I don't know," he says.
"Well, you have a car and I want to go out. Maybe we can make a deal, you know, I provide the money and you organize it and stuff… leave this place and well, split up, if you want," I say.
"I-I-I don't know, Jade. Um, is this the place?" he asks, changing the subject.
I look outside. "Yeah, this is the place." I just stay in my seat.
"What's wrong? We're here," he asks.
"I can't go," I say. I can't face my father for this. Then, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I stepped out of the car. I turn around to face him. "T-t-thanks Kendall, f-f-for everything." I'm not used to thanking people, well sincerely.
"It's nothing," he says. He smiles. His smile kind of weakens me, I like his dimples. Then, his face is not Kendall anymore, it's Beck. I just stare at him to make sure it's really Beck.
"Jade?" he says, snapping me back to reality. "You okay?"
"Yeah, just…thank you," I say.
"You're welcome…..Jadelyn." Then, he starts his engine and leaves. I finally smile. I walk inside my house.
"Dad? Mom? Hello?" I say. The house is a mess.
"Oh hey Jade," says a voice. I turn around and see my father dressed in rags. He was also holding a wine bottle. I see a few cuts on his face.
"Dad? What happened to you?" I ask.
"Your mom…..she uh…..was leaving and I asked her to stay and she uh…..refused and her nails were sharp so….." He looks at me. "Nah, it's okay, kiddo. You can go to your room."
I nod. I go upstairs and bathed. I washed out all of the remaining smells of liquor and makeup off my face. I wore a black nightgown and lay on my bed. I stared at the ceiling, recapping today's events. Then, I drift off to a long sleep.
