Summary: She pushed away the one person that could hurt her the most or fix her at the same time. But when fate steps in, is Jade ready to take that chance. My take on how Beck and Jade met and got together. Rated M for violence.

3 Times Before We Say I love You

Chapter 1-Crashing Down

She was carefree and a dreamer. She smiled all the time and her laughter was contagious and she loved life but that was the advantages of being 5 years old. Jade West took him by storm the day Beck Oliver met her.

Beck's family moved next door to the West family when he was 5. They instantly became best friends. They did everything together. They would play in the back yard for hours and when he would go to bed at night all he could hear was her laughter. It was soothing. He loved to hear her laugh, lucky for him she laughed all the time.

That all changed 4 years later, Jades life came crashing down.

He never let go of her hand throughout the entire funeral. Jade never said a word the whole time. They were the only ones left in the funeral home. Jade hadn't gone up to see her father. "I can't do this." Jade whispered.

"You have to otherwise you will regret not saying goodbye." He had never seen her so sad. She didn't look like her radiant self. Her medium brown hair looked dull. Her porcelain colored skin looked flat, and her bright blue eyes didn't sparkle.

"Can you take me up there please?" She closed her eyes and he guided her up to the casket. He squeezed her hand and she slowly opened her eyes.

Jade ran out of the funeral home. Beck followed her all the way to the lake. It's a place they like to go to be alone. She threw herself down onto the ground sobbing. He dropped down beside her and just held her for hours, neither one saying anything.

She finally looked up and noticed how dark it was. "Thank you-" And before she could say anything else he kissed her. That was there first kiss.

A few months had passed, they didn't hangout as much as they use to and when they did hangout it was different, she was different.

Beck looked out his bedroom window and saw Mrs. West wasn't home but Jades bedroom light was on. They hadn't talked in two weeks. She didn't answer his calls and was dodging him at school. He decided he was going over there.

He knocked on the front door, no answer. The door was unlocked so he walked in. "Hello, Jade?" He walked up the stairs and knocked on her bedroom door. "Jade?" He could hear she was crying, he slowly opened the door.

She was curled up in the corner with her face in her hands. "Go away!" She yelled never looking up at him. Beck ran over and sat down in front of her. After a few minutes she looked up at him. Her eyes were red and watery. She looked drained. "I can't take it anymore. I miss him. Mom can't help she's drunk all the time and yelling at me for everything. She's never been like this. At night it's worse. She cries and screams at dad for leaving her. It's not his fault he died! I just need to escape but when she starts going on a drunken rampage it's like I can't breathe and it seems like forever until I can again and it hurts."

Beck grabbed her hands. She's broken, she's not the same girl she was a year ago. But he promises then and there to himself that he will make her happy again. "Whenever you get that feeling again, close your eyes, cover your ears, count to ten and think of something that makes you happy."

Jade stared into his big brown eyes. He was perfect to her, the way his long thick black hair was a little too long and shaggy. His olive skin that looked so much darker then her pale skin, but the thing she loved the most about him was his smile. It had always made her stomach flutter when he would smile at her.

Beck cupped her face into his hands and wiped her tears away. He pulled her close and kissed her. That was the second time they kissed.

Later that night Jade's mom came home and was drunk out of her mind. Jade could hear her knocking things over and stumbling into everything. Jade walked into the living room and froze at the doorway. She'd never seen her mom that drunk. "Mom you ok?" There was fear in her voice.

She looked over to her frightened 10 year old daughter. "What's it matter to you Jadey?" Jades eyes widened, her dad was the last and only person that called her that, it was his special nick name for her. "He's gone and there's nothing I can do about it, just remember Jadey everyone that you ever love and care about will leave you, don't get close to anyone. I can't move on and be happy ever again and it's your fault Jadey because every time look at you all I see is him."

Jade ran straight to her room and crawled under her covers. That feeling was coming back again and she couldn't breathe. She curled up into a ball, closed her eyes, covered her ears and counted to ten and thought about what makes her happy. Beck! It worked, she could breathe again. She fell asleep that night thinking of Beck.

She woke up in the middle of the night. The house was quiet. Her mom had finally passed out. Jade laid in bed staring into the darkness. She couldn't shake away her mom's words 'Everyone that you ever love and care about will leave you.' She was right, it was true. There were only 3 people she really loved, her dad, he left her, her mom, she basically left her, and Beck. She couldn't handle if Beck ever left her, but it was going to happen. She had to leave him before he left her. She vowed she would never talk to him again.

A month later Jade and her mom moved to the other end of town.
