"I don't know how to say this..." Beck started.
Jade freaked out; she knew those words.
She'd heard them before; she hated them.
She knew they weren't good at all.
"No, you don't have to..." Jade told him and hung up.
She sat there on her bed and held everything in.
After a while she just let go, but even then nothing came out.
No tears fell from her eyes.
Nothing come from her mouth.
Jade just sat there.
She knew she loved Beck, but it seemed as if he didn't love her anymore.
She wanted to talk to Cat, but she knew she couldn't.
Jade got up and went into her bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror.
Putting her hair behind her ears, she smiled.
She stared at herself for a while, but then frowned.
What's wrong with me?
Why aren't I crying?
Jade shook her head.
She had no idea.
She looked away from her reflection and shook her head.
Her hair fell from behind her ears and she left the bathroom and jumped onto her bed.
Jade burried her head into her pillows and screamed.
She really wanted to cry right now, but for the first time in a long time she just couldn't.
Her body just wanted to keep it's emotions bottled up right now for some reason.
She was so sad and so frustrated; she didn't know what to do.
Half an Hour Later
She gave up and dialed Cat's number on her Pear Phone.
At least my best friend can cheer me up...
Heck! She might even come over with a batch of red velvet cupcakes and share them, but probably not. It's Cat! She'd only do that if she was really sorry for me... otherwise, she'd just gobble down a dozen herself and still stay that perfect ninty pounds!
How does Cat do it?
Jade laughed to herself and the phone began to ring.
"Hi Hi!" Cat answered.
"Hey... Cat..." Jade replied glumly.
"Oh no..." Cat cried.
"What?" Jade asked.
"What's wrong? There's something wrong." Cat said. "Tell me!"
Jade wanted to answer her friend, but she just couldn't.
"Is it Beck?" Cat asked suddenly.
"Yeah..." Jade replied sadly.
"What happened?" Cat asked.
"I... can't... tell you..." Jade sighed.
"Then text me!" Cat exclaimed.
"Alright." Jade forced a smile. "Hold on..."
"Kay Kay!" Cat cried.
Jade pulled up the main menu and texted Cat.
Jade: Beck broke up with me...
She hit send.
Her hands shook, not wanting all of this to be reality.
"Aww..." Cat sighed over the phone.
Jade's eyes started tearing up and soon, a ton of tears fell out of her eyes.
"Really? Now! You choose to come out now?" she yelled into the phone accidentally. "Oh, sorry Cat..." she added much quieter.
"What?" Cat asked confused. "What's going on?" she asked cluelessly.
"When... he called me," Jade blinked out a few more tears. "I didn't cry..." she admitted.
"Well, that's good. I guess," Cat replied.
"No. I'm crying now," Jade cried.
"Oh, sorry... I didn't know," Cat said, now holding the phone away and putting it on speaker.
"I loved him." Jade cried. "I still love him..."
Cat sighed. "I know."
Jade calmed herself down and then she got a message. "Hold on..." she told Cat.
Beck: We should still stay friends thought. You're a very special person and I don't want to loose you.
Jade screamed.
"Jade?" Cat jumped and asked scared.
"Sorry," Jade told her and forwarded the message to Cat.
Her phone went off and she read it. "Aww..." she sighed.
"I don't like this..." Jade whispered. "We've been dating for almost five years!" She told Cat, even though she was already aware of this.
"I'm so sorry, Jade..." Cat told her and sighed. "I just don't know what to say." she added.
"Gotta go." Jade said and hung up.
Cat frowned and hung up her phone.
One Week Later
Jade thought through her plan a few more times.
She pondered the outlooks and still wasn't sure.
Finally, she decided it was perfect and called her best friend.
Cat picked the phone up right away.
"Hello?" Cat answered.
"Hey, Cat." Jade replied.
"Hi, Jade. Did you finish your plan yet?" she asked.
"Yes," Jade said.
"Okay, what do I have to get?" Cat asked.
"Lye and some Mountain Dew..." Jade told her.
Cat laughed. "Hm. Interesting..."
"I'll be there in five," Jade told her and hung up.
Cat smirked and hung up.
She went outside and waited for Jade.
"Where are you going, Cat?" her parents asked.
Cat shrugged. "Tori's..." she lied with a smile.
"That's good; she's a nice girl..." Mrs. Valentine smiled at her daughter.
Cat nodded and slipped out the front door.
Jade finally arrived at Cat's and Cat got in the car.
"Where are we going?" she asked Jade, putting on her seatbelt.
"Not sure... where do you wanna go?" Jade asked.
"I don't know. A small store?" Cat suggested.
Jade nodded. "Okay," she smiled.
They pulled into the parking lot and got out, walking into a little gas station.
Jade grabbed the Lye and Cat got a Mountain Dew Code Red.
When they met back up at the checkout Jade rose her eyebrow at Cat. "Really, Code Red?" she asked.
"What? It matches my hair..." Cat giggled.
"Okay," Jade rolled her eyes, forced a smile and grabbed the Mountain Dew.
She put the two items on the counter.
"Will that be all?" the cashier asked them.
"Yes, thank you." Jade said.
The cashier bagged their stuff and handed the bag to Jade, smiling.
"I like your hair, Miss." she said as they left.
"Thanks!" Cat called back to the cashier before letting the door close behind them.
They got into the car and drove to Jade's house.
Jade got out a piece of paper and showed it to Cat.
"This is your plan sheet?" she asked.
Jade nodded.
"Nice plan." Cat told her, looking over it a few more times.
"I know. I can't wait!" Jade exclaimed.
"I can see Tori now..." Cat said giggling.
"That'll get her back for stealing my boyfriend!" Jade said.
"Our boyfriends..." Cat reminded and corrected her.
"Right, I forgot..." Jade said, patting her friend's shoulder.
One Day Later
The nest day at school, Jade and Cat arrived early and went to the bathroom.
They put some Lye into the Mountain Dew and closed it again.
"Where did the Mountain Dew go?" Jade asked Cat.
Cat looked at her guiltily. "I drank a little..." she admitted.
"Cat..." Jade scolded lightly.
"What? I got thirstly..." Cat added.
"Calm down. I'm just kidding..." Jade told her.
"Oh..." Cat whispered, looking down.
They both looked at each other and smiled.
Making sure the lid looked like it was never opened before, they went to breakfast.
The moment they walked into the Cafeteria they saw Beck and Tori flirting and eating breakfast.
Jade walked up to them, holding the Mountain Dew now, and Cat was slowly following behind her.
"Want some Mountain Dew?" Jade smirked, waving the bottle under Tori's nose.
"Sure, but not right now..." Tori told her.
Jade cursed under her breath. "Here, you can have it before lunch. I got two, but I only wanted one." she added.
"Thanks?" Tori said and just grabbed it.
"Bye, Beck." Cat said and walked away with Jade.
He looked up confused.
