Well, it's been some time since I last posted but I'm back. I wrote this story yesterday after hearing Flo Rida's new song "I Cry". This story takes place before Tori Saves Beck & Jade. Enjoy!


"There are no buts! When was the last time you cleaned your room?"

He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't remember.

Great. He wasn't gonna skip cleaning this time. He stood there silent, staring at his mother.

She triumphantly smiled at him and gave him the broom.

"Ok, I surrender." He said.

"I'm gonna check it when you finish!" She warned him and she got out.

He started to scavenge his RV's floor cheerlessly. He almost immediately realized his mother wasn't exaggerating. A pile of dust and other disgusting things started to form.

Imagine what exists under my bed, he thought and he decided to find out. He stooped and put his broom there. He pulled it. Two wrappings and a pen. He put it in his pencil case and he put the broom under his bed again.

This time he felt something too heavy to be a pen or something like that. He pulled it out. It was a black photo frame. He picked it up.

Oh. He had forgotten about this trip they've made to Hawaii last summer. It seemed to him like there's been a century since then.

The picture showed a close-up of them kissing. Jade was wearing one of her three black swimsuits. The one with the skull on it. They had both sunglasses on. Jade had her black with green streaks hair down and they both seemed totally preoccupied from what they were doing

The photo was taken by a blond girl who had attempted to flirt with him while Jade was swimming. She saw him though, and got out. To his big surprise, instead of fighting with her, she searched in her bag and found her camera. She politely asked her if she could take a picture of them. She reluctantly agreed. The funniest thing was that they made her wait until they finished kissing.

He sat on the bed and wiped the dust off the photo with his hand. He stayed there, staring at her while other memories from that trip rushed through his mind. The sun, the sea, the surfing, their fights, Jade yelling at every girl who was looking at him, the nights at the hotel, the entreaty they made to their parents in order to let them go on vacation alone for the first time, the evening they made that decision when they were at Nozu, celebrating the end of school…

It was like he had opened a box of memories from the back of his mind from where they were coming out. He missed those moments. And he wanted to live them again. Yes, he did.

Without giving it a second thought, he grabbed his phone and he quickly typed her number.

Beep…

But did he really wanna do this?

Beep…

Was it worth it to suffer again from their fights, her screams and her jealousy?

Beep…

Was it?

"Beck, is that you?" He heard Jade's voice from the phone.

"Oh, Jade, did I call you? Sorry, I wanted to call Andre."

"Ok then. I should not detain you." She told him and she hang up.

He sighed. He pushed end call and he threw the phone on his bed. He picked the picture up, he opened the closet and he put her in the back of it.

Then he took the broom and he continued cleaning.
