"This is our future, Beck!" I paced back and forth in the little RV, biting my painted nails and pulling at my hair. He didn't understand how important this was. I stormed out, kicking his stupid metal RV door as I left. I heard him slam the door and chase me out, so I slowed my pace down and turned round. He caught my arm and made me face him.
"We'll turn out just fine, no matter what we do! We can't control fate, Jade." I've told him a million times that there's no such thing as fate, but he still insists on using that as an excuse to forget about his future. I sighed and pulled my arm away angrily.
"There's no such thing!" I yelled at him. "You need to sort out what you want to do when you graduate."
"Act, obviously." He retorted with a shrug. I sighed again, pinching the bridge of my nose to relieve my headache.
"And what happens if that falls through? You don't always get what you want! You can't go through life relying on your looks."
"One day I'll prove to you that even if you do everything you can, nothing will change your future." I scoffed at him, shaking my head.
"Unless that day is today, you better get yourself sorted out. I'm not going to do it for you, Beck."
"Well then it'll have to be today then, won't it?" I walked back in, ignoring him.
I scowled at him and continued reading through all my options. I had a few singing jobs lined up, a couple of auditions. I had to sort through the other jobs too though. I felt Beck staring at me from the other side of the room so I looked up and rolled my eyes.
"What?"
"Don't you want to know how I'm going to prove it to you?" I shook my head and looked down at my papers again.
"Not really, but if you're going to stare at me all evening otherwise, then go ahead and share your master plan," I replied.
"Fine, I won't tell you."
"I wish you'd shut up then," I said. I looked up at him and he glared back. I heard him grumbling and mumbling things to himself.
"I wish that we could see our future, and show you that we'll be just fine!" Beck whined. I rolled my eyes once again and started to protest.
"Listen. Unless you have a crystal ball and you're psychic, don't even bother."
"I could be psychic for all you know!" I raised my pierced eyebrow at him before continuing.
"You did keep your Canadian secret for long enough!" I shouted. I paused. "Though if you were psychic, you'd probably be like Raven and get it all wrong." I heard Beck sigh and smirked.
"Until you prove yourself, please start getting your applications ready?" Beck shook his head.
"I don't want to. I don't want to tempt fate." Beck said with a satisfied nod.
"Tempt it into what? Fate can't control me. I'll murder you, Beck, I swear, if you don't start." Beck smiled then shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"Fate," he replied simply "you can't change it!" I groaned and threw my head back.
"Shut up!" I got back to my papers again – which, by the way, seem to just be getting harder and harder to fill out- and hoped not to be distracted.
Soon I finished most of them and decided to phone Cat. I dialled her number and waited. I heard her squeal on the line and tried to interrupt her.
"Cat, pick up! Cat?" I said uncertainly. I hesitated, waiting for her to answer.
"Yes, Jadey?" She answered.
"Are you free tonight? I want to go out. I was thinking of going to the cinema." I replied. "What was the squealing about?" I added.
"Well sure! What do you want to see?" Cat paused. "…There was a spider." I laughed and then nodded, thinking that of course there was.
"Okay. I don't know. There's a new Miley Cyrus movie out, if you want to see that?"
"Oh yeah," Cat said. She suddenly remembered something and gasped. "Tori wanted to see that!" I rolled my eyes.
"Oh, good," I said sarcastically. "Do you want to see it?" I heard Cat talking to herself, mumbling. "I can't hear you when you mumble on the phone."
"I know, I know, I'm sorry…" she muttered, thinking to herself. I made a noise, clicking my tongue.
"Cat, would you like to invite Tori?" I asked. I didn't really want Tori there, but if it made Cat happy I guess I was happy. Cat shrieked.
"Yay! Thank you, Jade. I'll invite her now."
"Okay," I replied "bye!" I said, hanging up. I went for a shower and then got dressed in my favourite blue top, with jeans and a necklace that Beck got me. I smiled at my reflection and smoothed out my top. Then I was ready, and kissed Beck goodbye.
Beck's POV
I waited for Jade to go out, and then I waited for the sound of her car to start up and drive away, then I jumped up. I reached for my laptop, tapping out an address for Google maps to direct me to. I scribbled it on a piece of paper then grabbed my jacket, the paper and my keys and headed out to my car. I started it and looked at my directions.
It was only twenty minutes away so I put the radio and listened to music while concentrating on the road. I drummed my steering wheel as I hit red lights and sighed in relief as I finally got there. Jade wouldn't be home for hours yet so it gave me time. I took my wallet out of my pocket and paid the three dollar fee to get in. I made my way to the front of the queues quite quickly, though when I got there it took a while for the lady to get started. She was wearing a purple head bandana and a cloak like thing. She looked startlingly like a witch out of a Disney movie.
She swayed a bit then straightened up. "So…" she said eerily. "You're here to have…your fortune read?!" The dramatic pause threw me off a bit but I regained my cool and spoke up.
"Yes…I want to know what the future holds for me."
"Well, my pretty young boy, you're in for a shock!" My eyes bulged.
"What kind of a shock?" I asked. She recoiled and her own eyes turned into small slits.
"Don't interrupt me, boy!" She cried. I leaned back slightly as her face came closer to mine.
"I came to know my future; can you just tell me it?"
"You have no patience." I sighed.
"Jade was right. You're all a scam! Nothing but phoneys."
"Phoneys, I'll tell you my boy, I am no fake!"
"Prove it then." I said sharply. Her brow creased and her whole face contorted.
"Prove it? I'll prove it all right!" She mumbled and muttered to herself, making grand gestures. "You'll see, my boy, you'll see!" She cried, swaying some more.
"Get rid of the cynics; get rid of the fakes, by morning light you'll be doing double takes!" I looked at her, waiting for her to finish. I had no idea what she'd just done.
"When you awaken, you'll be sorry. Your pretty girlfriend too!" I stopped as I went to get up.
"Jade? What have you done to her?"
"You'll see! My boy, oh how you'll see!"
I left in a daze, blinking in the moonlight as I tried to figure out what just happened, and if I could stop it. I stumbled, looking back at her dizzily.
What just happened?
A/N:
This will be a lot different from my other things, so I hope you like it. By the time this chapter is up, the next chapter will have been written, and so on. That's how I'll do it now.
