Alright let me just start by thanking my two reviewers so far! Two may not seem like a lot but seeing the review alerts and reading what you thought of the story so far really made me smile! Made my day even! So, as a reward, I'll update a tad early. I wasn't gunna post till Sunday but that's Easter and I won't be around then or tomorrow. So to not update late, I'll update early. Sound good? I'll probably update every Sunday if I can (that would be once a week). But not Promises!
I really hope this isn't too OOC for Jade, this is my first time writing her and this song seemed to fit her sadistic/masochist/vindictive personality and view on life. I know I said I wanted to do a different song for her but I'll probably do that one too. I just liked this one better and had a sudden muse attack. Sorry for it's shortness though… Like my previous story I also took out a few verses of the song if they were repetitive and all. xD
With that said, on with the story!
I dance around this empty house
Tear us down, throw you out
Screaming down the halls
spinning all around and now we fall
Jade was storming around Beck's small RV with a cardboard box taking everything that was hers. When she was done she wanted it to be like she was never a part of his sorry excuse for a life. Apparently that was what he wanted… wasn't it? Of course it was! All she did was pick a few innocent fights and suddenly he "wasn't happy with their relationship"? Well, she'd show him 'not happy.'
Pictures framing up the past
Your taunting smirk behind the glass
This museum full of ash
Once a tickle, now a rash
Ripping down all the frames with pictures containing them, or just her, she threw open the door to the RV and tossed them into the small fire she had started to 'properly dispose' of the memories. She had barely given it a second thought. It surprised her how willing she was to, quite literally, throw away almost 3 years of her life. This after all was just a testament to her strength. Slamming the weak aluminum door shut again, she locked it and continued on her plunder. This used to be a Funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
I'm gonna burn it down
Jade wondered what Beck would do, say, and think when he came home to his deserted home. It's not like he wouldn't expect it, he wasn't that stupid. She had given him full warning as to her leaving him and he neglected to take his chance. She had given him ten seconds to come back for her! All he had to do was open the damn door! At the time she was hurt, sad even. But now she thinks of how pathetic she must have looked, and it was all his fault. Now it was his turn to look pathetic. And he would, just after she let him in to see his new humble abode. 'Just a few more things...' she mused to herself deviously as she stuffed the last of her clothes into a trash bag. As she pulled the ties and tied the bag she could hear tired on a pebble driveway.
'Go time.'
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fun Echoes knocking on locked doors
All the laughter from before
I'd rather live out on the street
Than in this haunted memory
I've called the movers, called the maids
We'll try to exorcise this place
Drag my mattress to the yard
Crumble, tumble house of cards
Jade carelessly slid the lock back and ripped open the door to reveal a shocked Beck. He was pounding on the door in a panicked frenzy whilst trying to oust the fire with a tapping foot.
'Jade! There's a fir—What the hell!'
Beck hollered as his ex-girlfriend pushed past him and tossed her things into the trunk of her small black car.
'I know.'
Came her smooth response. Seeing as she had started it, she was rather nonchalant about its presence. Beck lout out a whimper as his pant bottom started to synch off. Rolling her eyes Jade walked into his 'house' to grab a vase of roses he had given her a few days ago for their 2 and ½ year anniversary. Stopping front of the small fire again she held the vase out away from her body and dropped it to the ground. Upon shattering it scorched the flames with a sizzle. A small stack of smoke and steam started to rise from the collision of cold on hot. 'Just like us.' Jade thought with a smirk.
This used to be a Funhouse 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fun I'm crawling through the doggy door
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
My key don't fit the lock no more
I'll change the drapes, I'll break the plates
I'll find a new place, burn this fucker down
Beck barely had time to react as Jade bent down and picked up an ash covered rose; once red, now black. She handed it to him as it drooped, wilted, before turning on her heels and walking to her car. Opening the door, she got in and took a seat. Revving the engine to life Jade peeled out of the drive way and set off toward a new home; never looking back. Cranking the radio, she found Pink's Fun house was ending. She loved this song. Jade sang along as she traveled the strangely familiar road to her life long best friend's house.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do This used to be a Funhouse
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, da, da, da, da
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
A short drive later and Jade found herself in Cat Valentine's long asphalt driveway. Pulling up to the garage she clicked the button on her keys and the door opened revealing her spot. Parking in her car's place she slid out of the car and locked the door. Swinging her keys she made her way to the front door. Knocking, she waited for Cat to answer. Jade smiled with her newfound freedom. She felt oddly powerful and wanted to get out and dance. Cat would surely come with her; Caterina Valentine never gave up a chance to show off her moves. She would never tell anyone since she did have a rep to keep up and all, but even though she made it seem like she hated Cat's 'innocence' and clingy tendancies, she knew that Cat was her true and only friend; and Jade treasured their time together. Besides, Cat wasn't at all as innocent as they all thought. Hearing Cat come bounding down the stairs screaming 'Jaaade!' she couldn't help but chuckle and count down the seconds till she knew Cat would fling open her door and launch herself at her best friend; letting their girl's-night-out begin.
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Fun.
Just to let you know, I absolutely hate the transitioning of this chapter… It seems so choppy and I don't like the ending much either… But we'll go with it! Right? :|
Well, next week will probably be a Tori story, so get pumped for death! Whooo! :3 lol Yes, death, you heard me. But you'll just have to wait and see! Tori's song will be Who Knew (again by Pink) so see if you can keep yourself occupied till Sunday by guessing who will kick the bucket.(:
Thanks for reading! Can't wait to hear from you again and I hope you enjoyed this chapter in all its sglory/s girl-power-ness! Flower power! *heart*
Peace, love, and all that stuff,
Kharr
