A/N: This is kind of AU, just a super short Bade one-shot in which Jade and Beck are together for the sake of the story. Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious... Otherwise, Cat would be the main character, and Beck and Jade would STILL BE TOGETHER. Hint hint, nudge nudge, wink wink, Dan Schneider... ===Jade-Focused: She knew why she loved scissors. No one else, not even Beck, knew except for her. And as she sat in the cold bathroom, on the cold floor, holding the cold pair of gleaming silver scissors in her cold, shaking hands, she knew she'd never tell him. As she sat contemplating, Jade began to glide the razor-sharp edges against her wrists, slowly opening the old wounds, old scars, and as the pain blossomed in her forearms, somehow the real pain went away. Her parents, the fighting, everything; it just flew by. She felt tears run their usual tracks down her cheeks, and she smiled rather gruesomely. She was oddly happy in these moments, when everything left. When the pain of life was overshadowed by a lesser, bodily pain. Her scissor blades once again scraped across pale, frozen skin, and that was when she heard the door open. ===Beck-Focused: He saw her curled up on herself, leaning against the bathtub. He saw the pair of scissors in her hand, and he saw the scarlet blood. Now he knew. Rushing over to his love, he snatched the scissors away and placed them gently on the counter. He turned over her hands, saw the incisions and scars, and pulled her into his warm, strong arms. "Why Jade?" he murmured softly, brokenhearted. She replied by burying her face into his chest and sobbing silently, her body heaving. As he held her in the cold bathroom, on the cold floor, the cold pair of gleaming silver scissors on the cold, marble counter, he made a decision. He wouldn't- couldn't- let her do this to herself anymore. He loved her too damn much. A/N: What do you think? Review! <3
