"I can't believe Lane is making us do couple's therapy," Jade said, "We love each other"
"I know," Beck told her leaning in to kiss her, "But I think this will be good for us. Lane is right. We have been fighting a lot lately and I want to get to whatever is behind it and fix us"
"I didn't know we were broken," Jade said playfully sticking her tongue out at him.
"Jade we fight practically as a hobby," he said laughing.
"So what," she said, "Everyone needs hobbies"
He rolled his eyes.
"I'd rather give up that hobby," he said, "You're too important to me"
"Beck," Jade said, "It's good to hear you say that"
"That's my Jade," he told her.
"DON'T talk about me like I'm property," she said
"Sorry," he told her smiling, "I love you"
"I love you too," she told him
They walked into Lane's office.
"Ah," he said, "Come on in. Take a seat"
8:00 AM
"Jade," Lane said, "Take off your shoes?"
"What?"
"I want you to take off your shoes," Lane repeated.
"Fine," Jade said taking off her shoes
"Beck," Lane said, "Your shoes come off too"
Beck took off his shoes.
"Now Beck I want you to put on Jade's shoes"
"Careful," Jade said, "I'm wearing high heels?"
"Jade put on Beck's shoes," Lane said
Jade rolled her eyes and did it.
"Good. Now you two are each other"
"I make a really ugly girl," Beck said
"I think you look good in a dress," Jade told him.
Beck rolled his eyes.
"Beck," Lane said, "Why the eye roll?"
"That's a reference to the fact that I did Tori's stunt for her"
"No it isn't Beck," Jade said, "But I hate how you always side with Vega"
"Jade can you think of any particular incident where he sided with Tori?"
"Where to begin," Jade said, "He-"
"No," Lane replied, "We'll deal with the main Tori issue here but I just want one incident?"
"Yeah," Jade said, "One of the more recent ones was when he gave me a FREAKEN time out because I said Tori must be feeling pretty stupid now after Ryder was using her?"
"Lane," Beck said, "Tell Jade I was right"
"I can't do that," Lane said
"You think it's okay for Jade to call Tori stupid after Tori is hurting enough as it is?"
"Jade why did you call Tori stupid?"
"Cause," Jade said, "Maybe now she knows how it feels to have someone enter on your territory. She kissed Beck on her 2nd day of Hollywood Arts. She is always coming out ahead of me. She's always the one who's a winner and I'm always the one who's NOT. I resent her for that."
"Beck how do you think you would feel if you were Jade?"
"Okay but I wish Jade would trust me-"
"We will deal with that issue. But right now you're Jade. Jade isn't you. How would you feel if you were Jade? Suppose you felt threatened by some guy moving in on Jade?"
"I… guess I wouldn't like it," Beck said, "I'd probably hate it and not like him very much"
"And suppose that Jade was 'always siding' with him. How would you feel?"
"So I should just-"
"BECK answer the question"
"Annoyed. Pissed off. But it's not like Jade never-"
"We're not talking about her issues now. And now we are. Jade. You're Beck. How do you feel knowing that your 'girlfriend' doesn't trust you?"
"I would try to-"
"We're not up to action yet. We're up to understanding. How would you feel?"
"I guess I might get frustrated too," Jade admitted.
"Very good," Lane said, "Beck… the real Beck, do you think you would get less annoyed with Jade if Jade trusted you more?"
"Think? I know that's true. But I felt like I was reaching my boiling point."
"Well if you would act more trustworthy I would trust you," Jade said, "But you kissed Vega on your second day of Hollywood Arts and you said the thing you knew would piss me off and you knew why it would piss me off yesterday"
"You and Tori were fighting again even after I-"
"Beck… did you say the same thing to Tori?"
"Well no," Beck said, "But Jade started the fight"
"Says who," Jade asked
"Are you telling me TORI started the fight," Beck asked
"I'm telling you that you shouldn't have assumed it was me," Jade replied.
"Beck," Lane said, "How do you think you'd feel if you were Jade?"
"But I apologized," Beck said, "Before any damage was done"
"The damage was already done Beck," Jade said, "You hurt my feeling?"
"I was the-"
"You're my boyfriend," Jade said, "That's supposed to come first"
"It does but face it Jade you're not perfect-"
"And you are?"
"Far from it," Beck said, "I see how you're feeling. How about this? I'll try to be more sensitive if you try to trust me a little more"
"Okay," Jade said
9:00 AM
"Beck," Lane said, "I want you to name as many things about Jade that you love in 1 minute."
"She's smart. She's witty. She can be nice. She doesn't trust easily-"
"Hold it right there," Lane said, "You said it bothers you that she doesn't trust"
"No it bothers me that she doesn't trust me. Some people out there are creeps."
"Jade," Lane said, "You're turn"
"Well there's only one thing that I can say. Beck loves me despite my flaws. He loves me because I'm me. He knows I'm not perfect and I sure as hell know he isn't perfect but he loves me anyway. Also he makes me be the best I can be. He doesn't let me get away with being less then I can be because he knows I can be better"
"I do love you for you Jade," Beck said
