Hi! I'm new to writing fanfiction so this is just a very short chapter to see how the story does and if it gets anywhere, review wise. If you guys don't like it, I'll stop writing! I just wanted to say that I'm not American, so sometimes I word things differently than they do, but I did try to use the words they use. Since this is my first fanfic I don't really know much about writing them or about this site. If you have any questions or you want to contribute to the next chapter, tweet me Para_Avril. Enjoy!

Jade's POV.

Waiting outside Tori's door, counting down slowly. He had to open the door, I could hear him inching towards it.

We've been through this before but it kinda felt different this time. The first time meant nothing. It was just a stupid fight

over that Alyssa girl. This time it felt real. As I got to number one and reached out to open the door, I stopped myself.

I won't stoop to his level, I'm not that weak, I'm not going to let him win.

I ran to my car and started the engine. "What am I doing?" I thought to myself, as I reversed out of Tori's driveway.

"We were meant to be, you know that". I tried to block these thoughts out.

I drove for a few blocks and stopped the car.I sat and stared out the window. I wasn't paying attention to what was

going on outside though, I was deep in thought. About the future, about tomorrow, about ten years from now, would

I still be alone?

As I began to cry loudly and sobs that I couldn't control racked my body, I said out loud something that had been

running through my head the whole time I had been sitting in the car.

"I can't imagine myself with anyone else but Beck".

Beck's POV.

I think all of my friends expected me to open the door as soon as Jade started counting down. I intended to, but before

I could, Trina pounced on me. I kind of have to thank her for that because as she wrestled me, it gave me time to think.

Did I really want this? To go back to the constant fighting over stupid things? It was unbearable.

I'd admitted in front of everyone at Sinjin's gameshow that I wasn't happy with our relationship. I did think it was obvious

that neither of us were. It didn't feel like a real relationship anymore. It didn't feel like there was any spark. We still hugged,

kissed and told each other how much we loved each other but did either of us really mean it?

I wanted so much to be with the Jade I knew, she was mean on the outside but deep down we both knew this was a

defense mechanism to hide her insecurities. I think I was the only person that got to see the vulnerable side of Jade.

I was able to sense when she was upset and she swore that I always knew how to make her feel better.

About a year and a half ago, Jade started to change. She changed her hair, she promised she wouldn't, she said she liked her

hair light brown. Now, it's black with tight curls and indigo extensions. She still looked beautiful, but I can't lie, her hair looked

much better when it was it's natural colour. It wasn't like the hair bothered me that much, it was the change of personality that

did. No one really noticed the change except me. She didn't show her vulnerable side to me any more. She was as cold and

mean to me as she was to everyone else. This time I didn't think it was a defense mechanism. What could she be defending herself from? As the change in personality happened, closely followed by her change in hair colour, a change also happened in our

friend circle. A girl, noticed at the annual showcase, as a replacement for her sister, joined our class. She seemed nice. Jade didn't

think so. Her name was Tori Vega and it was in her house that I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life.

About an hour after Jade left I made my excuses and left. I was trying to clear my head as I walked home. I was thinking through

what had just happened over the past hour so I almost didn't notice Jade's car on the sidewalk. I looked in the window and there

she was, crying, vulnerable, alone. I walked on, it had been so long since I'd seen her that sad that I didn't know how to deal with

it. It was at that moment that I realised the mistake I'd made. I still loved her. Of course I did. I'd never stopped. One thing was certain. I had to get her back.

Beck had just left Tori's house. The rest of the group were sitting in her living room trying to make sense of the past hour.

"Anyone want iced tea?" Tori asked. Cat, Robbie and Andre refused and for once, Rex said nothing. In fact, all five of them had

been sitting in silence since Beck left, minutes earlier. Tori had just broken the silence, followed by Cat; "Do you guys wanna go

for pizza? Maybe Beck and Jade could come". Robbie patted Cat on the head and said "Maybe that's not such a good idea right now, little red". Cat gave him a confused look but was soon off in her own little world again.

"So, what happens now?" Tori asked. No one really knew but soon a conversation started about Beck and Jade's relationship.

"We can't lie, we saw this coming" Andre said, matter-of-factly. "Yeah, but deep down I didn't want it to happen, they were cute,

despite all the arguing" Tori said and the group nodded in agreement.

Just as they were talking about the likelihood of Beck and Jade getting back together, Trina interrupted their conversation by saying "Beck knows deep down inside him that he wants to marry me". The group of friends sighed and rolled their eyes as Trina sat down and turned the tv on. "Well it's getting late, Cat, you need a ride home?" Robbie asked hopefully. "Okay!" Cat replied and they

left quickly.

Right before Andre left he and Tori exchanged looks and stepped outside onto the porch of Tori's house. "So, what do you think?" Andre asked. "About Beck and Jade? They were meant for each other, but what's with all the constant fighting, has Jade always been this hot-headed?" Andre just replied by saying that he really had to go to his Grandma's, who gets loopy if she hasn't taken her med's before midnight.

Tori waved half-heartedly to Andre and stepped inside her house. As she did, she felt a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.

She hadn't felt like that in a long time and tried to figure out when she had last. It was when she'd eaten the last piece of pie and

blamed her Dad. And she felt it again now, and it wasn't until she was tucked up in bed that night that she realised why she felt that way. It was guilt and for some reason, Tori held herself responsible for Beck and Jade's breakup.
