A/N: So, I heard this song and thought of Bade. I haven't written anything in a while so I decided to do a song fic for it. I'm now working on a regular story and it will have multiple chapters. Hopefully, I'll finish some of it and post it soon.
Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious or the song All We'd Ever Need, by Lady Antebellum.
Song lyrics are italicized, Beck's thoughts are bold, and Jade's are regular.
All We'd Ever Need
Boy, it's been all this time
And I can't get you off my mind
And nobody knows it but me
Ever since we broke up, I've been thinking about you nonstop. When people ask, I say I'm fine and that you never cross my mind. No one knows the truth.
I stare at your photograph
Still sleep in the shirt you left
And nobody knows it but me
A photo of you sits on my nightstand. I lay awake at night, just looking at it, wearing that red plaid shirt you left here. That photograph. No one knows about it. Not even you.
Every day, I wipe my tears away
I wake up crying. I'm strong enough to wipe the tears away when I go to school. There, I'm the invincible Jade West; when I get home, the tears begin to flow.
So many nights, I've prayed for you to say
I should've been chasing you
I should've been trying to prove
That you were all that mattered to me
You should've followed me out that door. Instead of giving up, instead of saying the things you said, you should've showed me that I'm everything to you.
I should've said all the things
That I kept inside of me
Maybe I could've made you believe
That what we had
Was all we'd ever need
I could've told you that I love you more often. I should've said all the things I wanted to. I kept them inside me because I was scared. I've never known love before and this was strong. If I had told you these things, then you would know. You'd have known that we had we all we'd ever need.
My friends think I'm moving on
But the truth is that I'm not that strong
And nobody knows it but me
Everyone thinks that I'm over Jade. No one knows the truth.
I've kept all the words you said in a box underneath my bed
And nobody knows it but me
The sweet things you've said. The first time you told me that you love me. The times we talked about the future we wanted. All those things you said, I wrote down. Scraps of paper fill a box that makes a home under my bed. The box. No one knows about it. Not even you.
But if you're happy, I'll get through somehow
But the truth is, I've been screaming out
I want you to be happy. If that means you're not with me, then fine. But, I wake up hearing myself say your name. At school, I try to play it cool. There, I am the cool, somewhat emotionless Beck Oliver; when I get home, the tears begin to flow.
I should've been chasing you
I should've been trying to prove
That you were all that mattered to me
I should've followed you out that door. Instead of giving up, instead of saying the things I said. You were everything to me and I should've showed it.
I should've said all the things
That I kept inside of me
Maybe I could've made you believe
That what we had
Was all we'd ever need
I knew you were scared. I should've given you more reasons not to be. You'd have known that we had all we'd ever need.
It was all we'd ever need.
Oh, I thought it was all we'd ever need
Just us.
Our love was real. And it still is.
I should've been chasing you
Why didn't I open the damn door?
You should've been trying to prove
Sometimes just being there isn't enough.
That you were all the mattered to me
Because you were.
Oh, you should've said all the things
You shouldn't have been afraid.
That I kept inside of me
I'm not an open person. I don't put my feelings out there. Maybe, I should've. For Beck.
You could have made me believe
I did believe, but you could've made me even more.
That what we had girl
We had everything. We had a pattern. We flowed. Somehow, even with the arguments, we worked. I don't know what went wrong. I know wasn't the fights.
Oh, that what we had
What we had,
It was all we'd ever need
It's gone.
We might never get it back.
Something went wrong.
We may never know what it was.
I still love you, Beck.
I still love you, Jade.
It was all we'd ever need
A/N: Kay, so I kinda switched their parts at the end because I felt like it should be that way. - That sentence only makes sense if you hear the song.
What didja think? I'm not the best at song fics.
Working on some stuff, though. This was just to get something new on here. Also, I started this after TWC and I didn't feel right leaving it uncompleted.
