Hi guys! Very sincere apologies for not going on here in forever. I can give as many excuses as I want, but that's all they're ever going to be: excuses. So please, don't kill me, and try to enjoy this little something I wrote in a spur of the moment.

Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious or any of the characters.

"Hey, you got Beck. Can't answer your call at the moment, so, uh, you know what to do."

Beep

And with that, Jade exhaled a sigh, but whether from disappointment or relief she didn't know.

"Uh, hey, ba- Beck. It's Jade."

What does she say now? Why'd she even call in the first place?

She looked back at her laptop screen, and saw The Slap's 'Trending Now' page. Today it was #StuffNoOneSays

Andre Harris: Girls are just not attracted to Beck. He is having such a hard time finding a date for Friday Night.

Ugh. At the sight of that, a million things rushed through Jade's mind. Now that they're over, of course it wouldn't take long before the vultures preyed on her ex-boyfriend. Her vision's gone red, and she had a lot of things to say, most of which were not suitable for a faint-hearted man's ears. She suddenly remembered why she called.

Yes, they're broken up, but old habits die hard.

"Look, I know we haven't-" She started out with a harsh tone, but soon sobered up as she recalled. "I know I don't have a say in-"

She couldn't do this. Why was she doing this?

"I was just checking if you're in tonight. Clearly you're not." She caught herself before she started rambling angrily about his plans, which she can not care about anymore, but not before a little bite got back in her voice. Another sigh.

"So, bye."

Click.

Beck stared at his answering machine's beeping light. He just sat through his ex-girlfriend's very conflicted message. Did she want him to pick up? Was she waiting for him to call her back? He didn't think so.

Of course, that's what he wanted to think. Truth is, he didn't know what to say to her.

He stood up from his RV's couch, walked over to the beeping machine, and hit delete. Without a word he went back, sat down and returned to playing 'catch the apple' with himself.

It's going to be another long night.

Not much point to this. Sorry. Should I have never come back?

Love you guys still,
