Chapter One: The Breakup

Beck and I sat in my car. He sat in the passenger's seat; I sat in the driver's seat. We were sitting in Beck's driveway, just talking. It was about 10:30 at night, on Friday.

We had been quiet for a few minutes.

"Babe?" Beck said suddenly. I turned to look at him. There was something in his eye that told me there was something wrong. I got an odd feeling in my stomach as I started to reply.

"Yeah?" I asked, sounding uncertain and uneasy. Beck must have sensed it, because he let out an upset sigh.

"I don't know how to say this…" he began. He ran his hands through his thick black hair that all the girls fancied.

"Say what?" I asked, though I knew what the answer was probably going to be. I braced myself.

"Babe, I don't think this is working out. Us, I mean," Beck said in one quick breath. That was what I was expecting.

I felt my throat begin to constrict as his words set in even more. I looked away slightly.

"You ok?" he asked me, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"What do you mean we're not working out?" I said. My voice trembled, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop it. My vision started to blur.

"We've been falling apart. Look at the facts, Jade," he said. He turned my face his way.

We hadn't said "I love you" to one another for three days. About a week ago, Beck stopped putting his arm around me whenever I stood by him. We barely kissed anymore. And we didn't talk as much as we used to.

I had to admit, he was right, no matter how much I wished I could deny it.

"I guess you're right," I said quietly. I breathed deeply, doing my best to keep my cool. Jade West does not cry. Jadelynn August West does. Not. Cry.

"I think we should uh…break up," Beck said quietly. I could hear his voice trembling too.

I looked back over at him. He had undeniable hurt in his eyes, and his expression showed nothing but angst and distress. I could tell he didn't want to do this. But he also didn't want to keep dating either.

He put a hand on my lower thigh and shook it slightly, in an "it will be ok" manner.

I looked at him straight in the eye and nodded, my lips forming a tight line of defeat.

"See you around school Jade," he said. I nodded. He started to get out.

Suddenly he ducked his head in.

"Just because we're not boyfriend girlfriend anymore doesn't mean I don't care about you anymore Jade. You know that right?" he said.

"Yeah, I know. See you around," I said.

"Goodnight," he said. I nodded at him.

He leaned up out of the car, and then closed the door. I watched him as he walked into his RV, his head down in an upset sort of way.

It suddenly hit my full blast what had just happened. I felt tears coming to my eyes.

I started up the car and pulled out of the driveway, not sure where to go.

I would go to Cat, since she is my best friend, but she wouldn't understand this. I would never think to go to Robbie. Obviously I can't go to Beck. That left me with only two people.

Tori and Andre.

Sighing and brushing away tears, I headed in the direction of Andre's house. Tori and Andre were working on a song together there for school. They were the only people I could go to.

As much as it pained me to say it, I really do need Tori. Honestly, I don't think I could live without her now that she has been brought into my life.

The pain and the tears increased as I drove down the black road, the moonlight reflecting onto it, the silhouettes of trees and houses visible in the distance.

All I can think now is, Love sucks.
