Beck woke up at 9 o'clock in the morning. He looked at Jade who was sleeping beside him. She looked so peaceful, so beautiful that for a moment his heart nearly stopped.
I wish you could see
That you are everything to me
You're my heart
You're my soul
You're the reason
I am whole
Those words came at him like a ton of bricks. It was exactly how he felt about Jade. He always loved her but sometimes he didn't realize how much he loved her. For some reason he couldn't stop thinking about the way he sometimes forgets to show her how precious she is to him. Sometimes he gets annoyed with her. Quite a few times and in numerous ways he has tried to change her behavior. A few days ago he realized something. The things he had often been annoyed with about her were the things he most loved about her.
Sometimes I'm too blind to see
Too blind to understand
Sometimes I try to stop you
From getting out of hand
I try to change the way you are
But I don't want that to be
Because if you changed I'd lose
The one so precious to me
It was right after they had left Tori's house. Jade had been unusually quiet. He tried to get her to talk, knowing that the argument they had would come up. Suddenly she burst into tears. Jade almost never cries. Beck was concerned. Was this about what he had said to her earlier? He asked her what was wrong and she didn't hold back. She was going through a terrible time in her life. One year ago to the day her sister was murdered. Fuck, he thought to himself. He had forgotten.
So if you can listen now
If you can hear me just a minute
Know my life
Would be empty without you in it
You make me complete
You are so sweet
I know you'd kill me if I say it's true
But to me there nothing sweeter then you
Beck brushed back her hair. It felt like silk. She snored softly. A grin crossed his lips. About 3 weeks ago Jade had fallen asleep in class and that somehow led to them having words. He said something that he definitely shouldn't have said. She called him 100 shades of INSANE. Of course, once he realized what he said he IMEDIATELY apologized and took those words back. He wasn't thinking when he said that. She told him that she forgave him but first he had to kiss her. He was all too happy to do so.
Once you said I was 100 shades of insane
And Jade I know that's true
A hundred shades is nothing
I'm millions of shades crazy about you
Another time she had looked at him and said, "We understand each other right?" By all rights it seemed like a fairly random question. But he knew exactly what she was talking about. Did they understand each other? Duh!
You're the only one I understand
When you say we it's your command
Because you caught my heart and kept the key
I'm a prisoner of love
And I never wish to be set free
One thing Beck loved about Jade was that she always referred to herself and Beck as "we". It was always "we" should go take the group and go see the opening of Miss Saigon. For Jade that was actually polite. Normally she wouldn't say it as a suggestion but as a fact with undertones of a command. She had been known to say something like "we" are going to karaoke showdown tomorrow. Sometimes she would say that 30 minutes before the event (IE show or whatever) would start. Jade was full of surprises. Sometimes she would say the most random things. On occasion he would ask her why but most of the time her answer was always the same. It was always "cause". He learned not to argue with her when she was in that mood and definitely not to contradict her.
You are mine
I am yours
Forever we are one
You're a winner
In my eyes
You shine as bright
As the morning sun
And when you say
The words you say
It makes me love you more
Can you know
How much I love you so
Loving you is no chore
Jade saw his bad side. She saw his short comings. She saw his little and big quirks and she loved him despite it. She was strong and at the same time she allowed herself to be vulnerable with him. He loved holding her. He loved her laugh. Those are the things that never annoyed him about her, but the things that did annoy him… well he loved that too.
Jade stirred and woke up. She was smiling. She had the most beautiful smile. He forgot all about a little thing called morning breath, leaned forward and kissed her.
Even in the morning
When you do not smell so fine
I am proud to kiss you
I'm proud to know you're mine
I never understand
How there's just one person for everyone
Now my life has finally begun.
