AN: So this is my new oneshot collection for fics inspired by songs. This one is after "all american girl" by Carrie Underwood. The title just screamed Jade. Well no, but somehow the "she's the center of his whole word" line made me think of them. I don't put the lyrics here, firstly because it ususally annoys me in fics and secondly because I think your clever enough to use google or something if you're interested in them. Now I hope you enjoy this, and if you have another song idea, write me ;).

James West had always wanted a son. Someone to take over family business and to show of to his business partners. That dream was destroyed when he got a daughter instead, but thinking about how she could marry into one of his partners businesses, creating a new empire, he changed his dream.

Not that he didn't love her, he did about everything (he thought was best) for her, he just chose to see facts and business before feelings.

Things changed, when he noticed that she was more interested in all things considered weird by others and performing arts. Things, that were frowned upon in his social environment. Her piercings and the tattoo didn't help either.

Which led to crack in their relationship, he disappointed and bitter about his crashed dream and his daughter disappointed in his lack of understanding and support in her dreams and his forcing her into something she wasn't and didn't want to be.

After his second wife gave birth to his son, he cared even less. There was someone else to fulfill his dream now.

He was still proud of her though, when he came over his feelings and watched a play she had written. Maybe she'd still be successful.


Beck Oliver was always a non-confrontational person. Making him do everything his father expected of him, like studying, having good grades and joining the baseball team. He was also very popular because of his good looks and his easy-going nature.

That was until he saw Jade West, walking trough the hallway, pushing everyone who dared to get in her way out of it, radiating anger and confidence.
She was everything he always wanted to be, but never dared to. She didn't care about anybody, she had her own style and she was into performing arts.

So he found himself changing his clothes to impress her and leaving the baseball team to join the drama club with her and later changing schools to Hollywood Arts to pursue an acting career.

She was the center of his whole world
and brought not only his true self, but also a bunch of arguments he normally would have avoided.

-His baseball coach thought he was crazy for leaving just after the team reached the finals, but he didn't care.

-His father was more than disappointed, constantly trying to change his mind,wanting him to use his grades and the baseball to get a college scholarship, prompting him to move out in his own RV to avoid the awkward silence that followed as his father realized that he wouldn't change his mind.

-And Jade, well she seldom agrees with anything and sees an offense in almost everything.

She had him wrapped around her finger

, but he was still one of the few people standing up to her and not (always) letting her get her way.


Years later, they got married, surprising everyone who thought they knew them and meeting the expectations of everyone who actually did (Cat, Andre and maybe Tori). Not to long after that Jade got pregnant.

It was one of her soft moments, them laying together on their sofa, when she asked what he wanted more, a boy or a girl.
His honest answer, a beautiful, talented, stubborn girl, just like you, earned him a slap, but he saw her smile anyway.

review, please ;)
