Chapter 1
Seventeen year old Jade West groaned as she looked out of her window. She was currently stuck at her home, outside it was snowing, almost a blizzard.
'Perfect end to a perfect day.' She thought sarcastically.
She was definitely having a bad day. Her car broke down on the way to school. At school she found out that she had no money so she couldn't get her coffee, at least until Beck arrived and bought it for her. Then she later had a fight with Beck and they were now not speaking to each other. Thanks to her lack of money and the argument with Beck she had been unable to show him the new tattoo she had been looking at for some time and had got especially for him. The tattoo was also the reason she was out of money. She had also forgotten a jacket and so, when the snow started after school she had to hurry home and even then she still felt frozen. Now she was stuck at home with only her Dad for company, she knew it was only a matter of time before he started yelling at her, she just wondered what for this time.
"JADE!" Her Father screamed upstairs, she sighed bitterly, 'Right on cue.'
Knowing things would just get worse if she ignored him she left her room and headed downstairs, ready to confront over whatever he was blaming her for this time.
She stopped at the entrance of the living room, her father was sitting in the armchair, glaring at her, she returned it with equal ferocity.
"What?" She spat angrily. He threw something to her, she caught it and saw what it was and rolled her eyes.
It was the magazine she had been looking at for her new tattoo.
"What have I said about these, and those damn piercings!" he bellowed, she threw the magazine aside and shook her head.
"I remember what you said, I just don't care," She snapped back at him, "It's my life, I can make my own choices, so why don't you just leave me alone?"
"Jade…" He began, his tone dangerous but she immediately cut across him, "Honestly, every night you find something to complain about, I'm sick of it, maybe, just one night, you could leave me alone and we wouldn't have these stupid arguments!"
He stood up suddenly, he was no longer shouting but his voice was dark, "Enough, don't you dare speak to me that way. I'm your Father and while you live in my house you'll abide by my rules, understand."
He then continued to rant, "Honestly, just look at you, you're a mess, if you wanna stop the arguments, clean up your act and do as your told for a change."
Jade rolled her eyes; she'd heard all this before.
"Now I know why Mom left you, you're so controlling, it's no wonder she couldn't stand you." Jade snapped but instantly she knew she had pushed her Father too far.
His face went purple and suddenly he grabbed her arm, she winced at how tightly he had grabbed her.
"Don't you dare speak about her," He snarled, "I'm warning you!"
Jade growled and tried to pull her arm free, but she couldn't. Finally she lost her temper and shoved him back. He stumbled back but quickly recovered.
"GET OUT!" He bellowed, she froze, "Wh.-What?"
He glowered at her and stepped forwards again, "You heard me, get out."
"But…" Her protests were cut off as he grabbed her and dragged to the door, before opening it and throwing her out into the snow, slamming the door shut behind her. Jade got shakily to her feet, almost immediately the cold began seeping through her clothes. Her Father had thrown her out without a jacket or any means to keep warm.
'What am I gonna do…I can't go to Beck's…' Her thoughts raced, desperately, until finally she made up her mind, 'It's a long walk but…I'll go to Cat's, it's my best chance.'
So, shivering and with her arms wrapped around her to try and keep warm she began trudging through the snow, trying to get to Cat's before hypothermia set in.
Beck meanwhile was out in his car. It was hard going with the snow but he was trying desperately to get home.
'Another fight with Jade,' He thought sadly, 'She looked so upset, if she would just for once let me help her, rather than being so strong all the time…'
His thoughts trailed off at what he saw before him. It was Jade, she was outside, without a jacket, trudging through the snow and shivering, her breath was coming out in ragged gasps.
'What is she doing out here, I've gotta get her somewhere warm.'
He stopped his car and got out; as he did Jade fell to her knees. He hurried over.
"Jade!" He called out, she looked up, surprised, "B-B-Beck, wh-what are you…"
She could barely talk as her teeth chattered together, he shook his head.
"What are you doing out here? C'mon, let's get you home," He offered, but to his surprise she shook her head, "N-no, I can't…I can't go…"
"Okay, then we'll go to my place, c'mon." He helped her up, she didn't resist or argue.
He got her into his car and covered her with his jacket before getting in himself and driving for home.
'She doesn't want to go home; she's wandering the streets at this time, in the middle of a blizzard without any warm clothing.' He shook his head and continued to drive after glancing at her; she had stopped shivering at least. 'I don't know what's going on but…I've gotta help her, no matter what.'
