AN: I'm fangirling over TFB&J so much right now. I can't even…how am I going to be able to do anything that doesn't have anything to do with it. I really wanted to see the dip thing. There were definitely parts that were a little dull that could have been replaced with dancing Bade. I mean just one dip at the very end as they kiss, how long does that take? We should all go spam Dan to post the footage that was cut out. This is in response to how Jade acted when she heard that Beck was asking Meredith out and when Beck came on stage. And to the fact that almost every guy I've liked has been confused about how they really felt. Get it together guys. Sorry the author's notes is so long, I'm highly emotional.

[First Response to TFB&J]

Waiting Game

Introduction

I knew. I knew long before Beck even did. I knew that he would want me back and that he would come to find that we are perfect for each other. He would come begging for me back, well he wouldn't be begging because Beck Oliver was always the 'cool guy' and would never willingly beg unless we were…yeah. Otherwise, he wouldn't beg for me back unless I forced him to, but I won't. Begging is so desperate, too weak and, in a way, sappy. If I was too strong to beg, my boyfriend better not be so weak as to beg.

Sure I was pretty upset, and broke a lot of things, and murdered a lot of plants, and made a lot of people cry, the weeks after Beck rudely told everyone how unhappy he was with me. I really wasn't expecting that, so I was admittedly a little angry and sad, and a tiny bit hurt that he thought he felt that way.

Besides, any girl would be at least a little upset after any break-up no matter how long they dated or how much they loved the guy. And we've dated a long time. Vega, for example, cried her eyes out and was mopey for weeks after she found out Ryder used her. She maintained enough composure to last her one song, that's it. She required a whole army of friends to build her back up. I would never be that weak.

I wasn't even upset because Beck dumped me. I knew that we would get back together. So, my anger and sadness was more over broken pride. I would probably also be annoyed that I had to wait for him figure himself out and that I had to find other ways to fulfill my needs. I really hate the waiting game.

The Worst Couple

The comment about how unhappy he was in our relationship in front of Sinjin's stupid game show audience stung. Why did he have to make things so public? I'm all for displaying our physical attraction, I mean it's undeniable that we're both extremely hot, but I hate letting everyone in on our emotions. It's so sappy and makes me seem soft and weak, and all of those stupid strangers aren't supposed to know that Jade West has a weak, and cute, side.

Though my pride was broken, I knew that Beck wasn't really unhappy. I'm not one of those stupid insecure girls that questions how he really feels about me. Especially since I know exactly what he's feeling because I know him better than he knows himself. I could tell that he was going to break up, again, soon.

That night he picks a fight with me. It was something so stupid, like something about whether everyone else was at Tori's house. I don't even really remember, I just remember that I could feel it. I could sense that Beck was going to breakup. It was going to be in front of all our 'friends' again, humiliating me. And he wasn't going to know how to without hurting his precious reputation. That boy is such an idiot.

He was never able to break up when he wanted. Like that time with Alyssa Vaughn. I knew that he wanted to see if he could love Alyssa because his fame would skyrocket if they were a couple. But I also knew he still loved me so he was having trouble figuring out what to do. I wanted us to take a break so he could be sure that he couldn't be without me even if he had the fame and money. So I had to do all the dirty work, put on a jealousy act and break up with him while he pretended to protest even though he was secretly relieved at the perfect timing, such a happy coincidence. Then when I sensed that he missed me, I had to get Tori to help me think of something that was dramatic enough for him to take me back. Man is dating Beck tiring.

So that day at Tori's house, I put up that demanding girlfriend act and walked out the door, giving him an ultimatum. To say that I wasn't secretly wishing that he would open the door was a lie. I would love to skip this whole breakup, but logically, if he had come up he would still feel all tied down and anxious. So the logical side of me hoped he wouldn't open the door but the emotional side of me wanted him to. Emotional me even reached towards the door before the logical me internally beat the crap out of her.

He needed the time to figure out that I was what he wanted. So I was going to have to play the waiting game again. When will he ever learn? So this time I decided that it would be last time I played this game. I would wait for him to initialize this makeup, even though it would extend the waiting game I hated so much.

Tori Goes Platinum

I really wanted to perform at the Platinum Music Awards. Tori has been getting way too many performances and leads that I should have gotten. There is no doubt that she's one of the few people here that can actually compete with me. But her newcomer surge has been going a little far. I understand that her dull personality makes her more likable though.

But that stupid guy wants Tori to change into someone with a personality. Hello? If it's personality he wants, I'm right here. Tori really shouldn't do personality because it's not working. If anything it's going to ruin her because the only thing working for her was how likable her blandness was. She's going to ruin her whole career by trying to be edgy when she can't.

I should do something to try to stop her. But not before getting a few laughs from her humiliation.

I hack into some random nerds email account. Yes, I'm good with technology, better than Sinjin even, in fact that was part of the reason he met me and started to like me, but that's a different story. I just don't have enough time to work behind the scenes too. Anyways, I send Beck an email saying: Hey. Can't you tell that Tori is obviously faking this? It's an act. Go convince her to cut it off because this edgy thing is going to ruin her career. The audience isn't going to like it.

I had considered emailing Cat, but as sweet as she is, it's too risky. She's either going to not remember to check her email, not understand or get distracted. And she's recently developed a bibble problem, so I'm going to go with all of the above. Robbie was not assertive enough. And Andre was also risky because his grandma breaks his computer too often.

Sure enough, Tori turns back to normal soon. And I make sure that I'm directly in his line of sight when that Thornbush guy is busy firing Tori. I've looked at some of the other entries. They're even worse. Cat's was decent, but she was bibble addicted. Andre's was too, but he wasn't fame crazy right now and I didn't want to ruin him but inducing that. And I wouldn't do it. If I'm not your first choice, then sucks for you because I sure in hell won't be your second either. But mine was good, just not as mainstream music award as Tori's. Not that I wanted to be mainstream music awards show pop. I knew that Mashington guy would approve me though.

And he acted just as he predicted. Why are the people with the power to make or break you all predictable idiots? I can't say that Beck's exasperation didn't cut a little. I knew he was just annoyed that he hasn't found someone nice and sweet that he loved, but still. If there was one thing I knew, it was that I could sing, and act, and direct, and write, and do all the tech work, and, well it would take me too long to finish. So he shouldn't have taken it out on my talent.

I guess he decided that now that Vega was all weak, he should try with her too. And trust Cat to video chat when I tell her to. And trust Tori to act all nice and let Andre and Robbie come. And trust Beck to make a move. It did hurt hearing him badmouth me. Once we get back together, he is so getting it for that. And it also hurt that Vega might get a big performance AND my boyfriend's lips, all in one day. But surprisingly, Vega rejected him. I knew that she would refrain from dating him because of me and her want of being friends with me. However, I didn't expect that she wouldn't even kiss him when she thinks no one would know. He is a good kisser. It does give me a good reason for giving her that performance if anyone pries.

I mean I can't just say that I wanted to make sure Tori performed without ruining her future. That would make me seem too sweet.

Beck did smile at me when I went to sit down. But I know that the waiting game is still going to take a long while.

Opposite Date

I was actually happy when I overheard that Beck was going on a date. Finally, he would be able to figure out how much he missed me and how perfect I am for him.

So when Cat told me that it was with Tori, I nearly ripper my locker in half. He already tried things with Tori and it didn't work. But he didn't realize anything either because Tori was so afraid of really trying things with him, for fear of hurting me or some crap.

She didn't know what motivated me to follow them. But she did. Maybe I was just that bored. But I knew that at the end I needed to make it clear to Beck that he could date.

And that's what I did. Or at least that's what I thought I did. Because Beck kept stalling, making the waiting game longer than necessary.

Three Girls and a Moose

Beck's friend Moose was pretty cute. There's something about him that reminds me of Beck. He had a boyish grin and was a similar kind of stupid as my idiot. Plus Tori and Cat were all-over him, so he had to be someone most girls liked right? He would be the perfect opportunity to make Beck jealous. Maybe that would move the waiting game along because Jade West was definitely not known for her patience.

I saw Beck's jealousy through his annoyance. I knew that he was trying to convince himself that he was jealous because they were hogging Moose and not letting him spend time with his childhood friend. But that wasn't it. I knew he always believed that he was the only one that I could love.

I knew that she needed to heat up the rivalry among her, Tori, and Cat. The more we fawned over him, the worse Beck felt. I knew Beck well enough to know that he would avoid the feeling, so I had to make sure he couldn't. And having none of us show up to help with tinkle-aid, such a stupid name, was the perfect way to rub it all over his face.

Moose was being stubborn though. He was refusing all of us, even me. Usually, when I wasn't being mean, no guy could resist me. It was one of the reasons I had to stay terrifying every day. I had to be mean enough to prevent myself from being harassed AND stop Beck from being harassed while protecting Beck's image, since Beck didn't like the constant harassment either, but was a nice guy.

Maybe Beck had said something to Moose, making him refuse me. So I had to take the more desperate route and be physical. I knew that as long as Moose wasn't gay, he would love seductive Jade. And if he was a good kisser, I might even be able to use him to satisfy some other needs as well.

Let's face it the waiting game wasn't hard just because my heart missed Beck, my body did too.

Tori Fixes Beck and Jade

Why? Why would Vega pay someone to ask me out? I didn't want to be asked out. Wasn't it clear that I didn't want that? I was playing the waiting game, waiting for a certain Canadian with fluffy hair. And I didn't want to deal with other drooling guys, which is why I made sure that all of them were scared enough, well except Sinjin who met me before my meanness and knew that I wasn't actually this way. It was blatantly obvious that there was something suspicious going on when that Gillard guy asked me out. I had never even seen that guy. And it meant that I had to spend all my energy chasing Tori and Andre because that was the Jade thing to do and my pride was a little hurt by their pity.

Hearing that they did this so that Beck could ask out a girl made me happy though. He would finally figure out that we were right for each other. But I still had to threaten Tori and Andre a little. I spelled it out as well as I could, telling Beck that I was completely fine with him dating again. He kept rejecting all these girls because he secretly missed me, but was just stupid enough to keep hiding that fact from himself. My idiot certainly is his own kind of stupid.

I wasn't so sure about the choice of Meredith though. Meredith was really annoying, and I was a little worried that Meredith would not let go of Beck. But she was as boring as she was annoying because that was mostly what made her annoying. Plus she would want to please Beck so much that she agreed with everything he said. That would definitely push him back to me. And Beck acted like a complete jerk to girls most of the time, so Meredith probably wouldn't want him.

Sure enough, Beck was annoyed by Meredith's continuous agreements and was enough of a jerk to leave her sitting alone without even a stupid speech about how it's not her but him, which I later learned from an angry Meredith coming up to him after my performance.

Jade doesn't think that any of those girls who were all over Beck would last long with him. He was pretty, but wasn't good with compliments, or doing things most girls would want their boyfriends to do, like carry their bags as they went shopping or stuff like that that I vaguely remembers Cat or Tori gushing about, or maybe it was my mom.

When I got onstage, I smiled seeing that Beck was standing off the side. I had picked the perfect song to remind Beck about how I was exactly what he was looking for. And when we made eye contact, I could tell that Beck finally figured it out.

So I smiled when I saw him walk onstage. And took him into my arms and kissed him after he said that he missed me, or at least that's what I thought he said. I didn't really care what he said; I could only think that my lips needed his.

Later Tori told me that I let Beck off too easily. I should have made him fight for me, or something like that. As if she wasn't the one trying to convince him to move on just hours before.

Anyways, I never liked those displays of emotional love, just displays of physical love. Anything more would have been too sappy. Besides, I had been waiting for Beck to figure out that I was what he wanted, what he had always wanted, for way too long to care. I was just happy that Beck finally ended my waiting game.

Fin

AN: I wrote that thing in like an hour. Maybe someday when I have more time and am less emotional, I'll fix this up/rewrite this. Some of the facts might be a little wrong because I only watched TWC and TGP once and refuse to watch it again. Also, I feel really bad for Meredith. because Beck kind of just blew her off without saying anything. Then she sees him kissing his ex on stage. That jerk. But that's for another time.
