A/N: Well, hello there. This was originally supposed to be a oneshot for a series of oneshots I'm writing, called Tracks of My Tears, but... I decided to just make it into its own multi-chapter story. I sort of have an idea where its going, but I'm not totally sure yet.
I wake up, and glance at the clock. Seven in the morning.
But where am I?
Oh, yes. This is my room.
But something is missing. Something... important...
Now I remember. Beck is missing. I should go see him.
I walk downstairs and open the front door. "Jade, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see Beck, of course!"
My mother looks at me sadly, for some reason. "Jade-"
I'm already out the door.
It feels like there's something missing. Something nobody's telling me.
Oh, well. I'll figure it out once I see Beck.
Once I get to his RV, I hop out of my car and knock on the door. There's no answer. But I'm used to it by now. I have a key, but I don't want to bother looking in my bag for it, so I just kick the door down, like I always do.
"Beck!" I yell at him. "Why wouldn't you answer the door?" Suddenly, there he is, standing in front of me.
"You have a key, you know."
"So?"
He rolls his eyes at me and laughs.
"Do you want coffee?" He asks me. He already knows the answer, so I don't bother responding.
"It's seven-thirty, shouldn't you leave for school soon?" I glance up at him.
"Why, aren't you coming?" He only shakes his head and frowns.
"I can't."
I'm confused. Why can't Beck go to school?
"Why not?"
"I- I just can't."
"Well, then I'll stay here with you." He's already shaking his head.
"You have to go," He tells me.
I shrug. "Fine," I say. "I'll see you after class, then." He doesn't even kiss me goodbye.
