AN: This is my first fanfiction so I hope everyone enjoys this! I got the inspiration for this fanfiction from a VicTORIous dream I've recently had. This story ended up being very different from the dream, but the general plot is the same.

Beck slammed the door to his RV shut.

He slammed it with such a force that the RV itself shook, causing a framed photo on his shelf to fall over.

He threw himself onto his bed and let out a scream of frustration. "How can they be so insensitive? He thought to himself. "Go on a vacation! A vacation they said! How can I even think about a holiday when I've lost someone so precious to me?"

Beck screamed again.

Noticing the over-turned photo his rampage had caused, he forced himself off his bed and made his way over to put it back in its place. As he picked it up, he gazed at the photo longingly. Tears began to well up in his eyes. It was a photo of him with a beautiful girl. No. A gorgeous girl. Her dark, curled hair accentuating her contrasting pasty skin. The girl was none other than his girlfriend: Jade West. Who had been announced dead…

It happened a year ago. The worst night of Beck's life. Jade was on her way to Beck's home (well, RV). She'd been out of town that day and she was driving in her car while on the phone to her down-to earth boyfriend. Beck had scolded her for driving while on the phone (being the protective boyfriend he was); she had snapped at him for worrying to much about her, but then softening a bit, she had assured him that she had the phone on speaker and out of her hands. Trusting his girlfriend, he allowed them to keep talking until she arrived.

Later during their conversation, Beck heard a sound from his phone that sounded like a car swerving. The sound was followed by an ear-piercing scream… a deafening crash… then silence. "Jade?" stuttered Beck, unable to smother the deep concern from his voice. There was no answer. "Jade!" Yelled Beck. Still no answer. Beck wondered if Jade was just messing with him, but then thought, "No, Jade's humour is sick but she's hardly the type of person to pull pranks". Fearing the worst Beck raced to his car and zoomed down the road. He was miles over the speed limit, but it didn't matter to him. Jade mattered.

Since he didn't really know where his girlfriend was, it took him quite a while to locate her car, at least half an hour… but he found it. The road was completely deserted except from Jade's car which was extensively damaged and was teetering mischievously on the edge of a cliff… above the sea. Beck dashed to Jade's car… Jade wasn't there. He felt like his heart had been stabbed, repeatedly. "JADE!" Beck yelled and the top of his lungs. He searched around but there was no sign of her. "JADE!" He screamed again, even louder than before. The now panicking Beck whipped out his phone and dialled 911, barely able to spit his words out.

A search party was sent out for the missing Jade; alas, the search was in vain, for Jade was nowhere to be found. After questioning Beck, the police officers concluded that Jade had been focusing more on her phone than the road and had fatefully and tragically fallen into the sea.

Beck couldn't believe it. He wouldn't believe it. Somehow, he just knew that his girlfriend was alive and out there somewhere. He knew for a fact that Jade was not holding or looking at her phone since she had it on speaker mode. Besides Jade's body had not been found. Beck argued this with the police and he demanded that they keep searching. So, the search continued but Jade had still not been found, and now the police were certain that what happened that night had been her fate.

The funeral was a few weeks later. Jade's family, friends, teachers and Tori and Trina Vega (Jade had always denied that she and the Vega sisters were friends); but Beck had refused to attend. He was still convinced that Jade hadn't perished in the accident. Though his friends had all tried to get him to come, and had all gone around to Beck's RV pf the morning of the funeral to try and persuade him one last time.

"Jade would want you to come!" Said Tori.

"No, she doesn't, because she's still alive!" Retorted Beck.

"Come on man." André said in an empathetic tone, not wanting to distress his friend any more than he already was. "Just come with us."

"No!" Yelled Beck sharply.

André and Tori sighed. Cat, Jade's best friend, looked like she was about to attempt to try and convince Beck too, but she broke out into a sob before she could say anything. Robbie rushed over to comfort her. "Don't cry Cat." Robbie comforted, with no such luck, as the red-head continued to cry her benevolent heart out. "Beck, listen, this is ridiculous. You're going to regret it if you don't come; just think of this as a way to spend one last time with Jade."

At this Beck lost his cool. He slammed the glass of water he was holding down onto the table, sending shards of glass out in all directions. The sharpness of the glass shards a mere pin-prick compared to the pain he was feeling now. "No, YOU'RE all ridiculous!" Beck roared. "Making me attend a funeral for someone who's not even dead; I can't believe you've all given up on her this easily!" Beck cringed slightly at his uncharacteristic outburst. With that, Beck stormed out the RV, muttering something under his breath (possibly an apology) and slammed the door. His friends followed after him but he was already in his car speeding off into the distance.

Beck had never been the same since. Now he was moody (more like Jade), he barely talked and when he did it was usually about finding Jade. Even his once breath-takingly alluring hair that made girls (and even some guys) swoon had now lost its fluffiness. He never gave up his search for Jade; sometimes he even bunked off school to go looking for Jade. Once he even drove off and didn't return for almost 4 days! He'd taken photos of Jade and had asked every person he could if they'd seen her. Despite vising Lane Alexander (Hollywood Art's guidance councillor) every week and support from his friends, Beck's condition ceased to improve. His family and friends became increasingly worried about him with every passing day.

And that brings us back to the present.

His parents decided that the only way for Beck to return to his normal self was to take him on a holiday; far away from everything, time to heal (even though he'd already had over a year for that). They'd tried everything else, time off from school, therapy, dating other girls (which Beck was certainly not pleased about when his parents suggested the idea; he became more upset than he already was and so his parents thought it best to forget that idea), it seemed that nothing would tame the fierce inferno that was his rage.

Unfortunately, thus news of a vacation did not go down well with Beck. In fact, it probably made him feel worse. He fretted that going on a holiday might've caused him to miss his chance to find Jade.

It took months for him to agree, but he finally gave in to his parents pleads. It's unclear as to why Beck accepted the offer, not even Beck himself really knew why. Maybe he secretly longed for a break from searching, but we'll never know.

Considering the state he was in, Beck's parents could let him fly all the way to France unaccompanied; but Beck insisted he spend the first few days in Paris in solitude. Though reluctant to this, Beck's parents agreed.

Beck began walking down the Champs- Elysées, not really knowing where he was heading but he knew he had to get away. The trip may not have taken his mind off Jade, but it did give him a chance to reflect; reflect on how badly he'd been treating his friends, scratch that, he'd had been ignoring them altogether let alone treat them in any way. The teenager realised that he had been so caught up in his own emotions, he hadn't even stopped to think how they were feeling about… the incident. "I really do owe them an apology (a yearlong apology)." He thought.

As he was walking, he noticed a certain shop, well he couldn't really miss it, everything about it was shocking pink! Even the name of the shop was called pink (well, 'Rose'). "Cat would love something from here" He said aloud to himself. So, putting aside his 'Jade troubles' for now, he decided to go in the store and buy a gift for Cat.

Beck was looking for a pink giraffe stuffed animal in particular (he knew Cat would adore a friend for her purple giraffe). He eventually found it amongst the other countless pink stuffed animals and walked over to the till to pay… when he stopped dead in his tracks. Standing only a few feet away from him… was Jade.

Beck could not believe his eyes' it was Jade. His Jade. Jade who he had been searching for, for over a year. The very same Jade… well almost. Her hair was dyed blonde and was dressed head to toe in pink (something Jade would've never been caught dead in). Nevertheless, it was definitely Jade.

His heart pounding, palms sweating, there was so much emotion inside of Beck he may've exploded! Beck dashed over to his long-lost girlfriend and engulfed her in a tight embrace. He'd never been so ecstatic in his life. He began to cry tears of joy, Beck had never shed a tear in public, but he let them fall, too lost in the moment to care.

"Jade!" Was all Beck could utter.

"Get off me you creep!" Screeched Jade.

Beck released her from the embrace, gobsmacked. "Jade it's me, Beck; Beck Oliver!"

Jade looked at him as if to say, "Is that supposed to mean something?"

"Your boyfriend!"

Jade looked utterly confused, "I'm sorry I think you're confusing me with someone else. I've never seen you before in my life."

Beck's jaw dropped and eyes widened in horror.

Although Beck's search to find Jade had come to an end, he knew the search to find the real Jade was far from over.
