Chapter 2: Jade's Date
Jade opened her locker and thrust a couple of books in it. Tori slowly approached her. She leaned against the wall and glanced at her.
"So? Did you talk to your brother?" She questioned.
Jade slammed her locker shut and glared at her. "Maybe you haven't noticed, but two days ago I broke up with Beck. Do you remember? It was right there... In front of you! The days that passed I hadn't much time to talk to him. I just had to think of myself and stay alone. I'll talk to him today." She told her.
"Okay... I hope nothing will occur today, because you really have to talk to him."
Jade nodded. "I know. I won't do anything else-"
"Girls!" Cat squealed and ran to them.
"What happened, Cat?" Tori asked.
"Guess who came in LA again!" Cat shouted.
Jade and Tori exchanged a look. "Who?" Jade questioned.
"Moose!" Cat whispered, as if it was a great secret.
"WHAT?!" Tori and Jade shouted at the same time.
"I said Moo-"
"We heard it!" Jade cut her off.
"But... He said that he didn't like LA girls..." Tori muttered.
"Yeah... But, I guess we can still say 'hi'!" Cat exclaimed happily.
Jade nodded absent-minded, recalling the day when she and Moose made out in her car.
"Jade? Jade! Are you here?" Tori waved her hand in front of Jade's face.
"Take your filthy hand away from my face or else you won't have it!" Jade threatened.
Tori pouted. "She's here." She stated.
-Meanwhile-
Beck wasn't ready for that... Moose was his friend and he did want to see him again, but he couldn't take out of his mind that Moose had kissed Jade. Moose couldn't help but tell his friend what happened with Jade. Beck tried to be cool with it, but he just couldn't.
And now it was very difficult for him to face his friend again.
He saw his friend approaching him. He faked a smile and greeted him.
"Hey, Beck! I feel I haven't seen you for years!"
"Well... It's been just four months..." Beck replied, fuming inside.
Moose chuckled. "I know... Are we going to your school again?"
Beck squinted at him. "Why do you care?"
"I wanna see again your crazy friends. And your girlfriend. I've heard you got back together. I hope it won't be awkward... You know... Because I've kissed her and-"
"Me and Jade broke up." Beck cut him off and avoided explaining more. He just got in his car again and thrust the key into the ignition. He glanced at Moose, who was still out of the car. "You're coming?"
Moose shook his head. "Wh-What? Oh, yeah! Yes, I'm coming." He stammered and opened the door, getting into the passenger's seat.
-Hollywood Arts-
Moose and Beck entered the school. Cat ran to them and threw herself in Moose's embrace. He laughed and kissed her head. "What's up, burger lover?" He greeted her.
Cat giggled. "Um... Actually, I-I don't like burgers a lot..." She said. "I hate them."
Moose chuckled. "I know, Cat. I know... Where's Tori?" He questioned.
"Oh! She's with Jade. They're talking about a problem Jade has but they told me to walk away because it was a secret..." Cat mumbled.
Beck narrowed his eyes and looked at Tori with his ex-girlfriend talking. He bit his bottom lip and glanced at Moose again. "Why don't you go to them? I bet they'll stop talking to greet you." He stated, arching his eyebrows.
Moose smiled. "Right! I'm going to them." He exclaimed happily and walked to the girls.
Beck turned to Cat. "What's wrong with Jade?" He asked her, failing to hide his anxiety.
Cat giggled. "I don't know! They don't tell me." She answered and a huge smile spread all over her face. "But someone seems to care about Jade..." She added and raised an eyebrow at him.
"Wh-What? No, no, no, no! I-I don't care. We broke up. I really don't care about her." He replied.
"Oh, okay... Then, I guess you don't want to know what I know..." She muttered and started walking away.
Beck grabbed a hold of her cardigan and turned her to him again. He grabbed her by her shoulders and lowered his head so that he could see her face-to-face. "What do you?" He questioned.
Cat laughed. "I told you I don't know anything... But I still believe that someone-" She pointed at him. "-cares a lot about Jadey..."
Beck cleared his throat. "Okay... Maybe I do care about her. But only because she was my girlfriend. We used to date for a long time. That's all." He muttered and walked away.
-Meanwhile-
Moose approached Jade and Tori and stood between them. Jade and Tori stopped talking almost immediately and they glanced at him. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at them.
"Hug?"
Jade and Tori exchanged a look before smiling and curling into Moose's big embrace. Moose caressed their heads and opened his arms, letting them free. But Tori and Jade kept hugging him, ignoring the fact that he wasn't hugging them anymore. He gave them a questioning look and cleared his throat.
"Girls?" He told them.
Jade and Tori let go of him. "Sorry." Tori murmured.
"I'm not sorry." Jade snapped at her. "I'm not sorry for anything I've done in my whole life." She added, giving a sarcastic smile to Tori.
"Not even breaking up with Beck?" Moose questioned.
Jade glared at him. "What?" She muttered.
Moose widened his eyes. "Um... Beck told me that you two broke up a few days ago..."
"So?"
"N-Nothing... I just... I thought that you loved each other. You know... You didn't manage to stay away from each other for a long time and you got back together."
"But we broke up again. That means that we shouldn't be together." Jade replied angrily.
"That's not always true. Maybe you have a dysfunctional relationship, but this can't erase the fact that you have spent many good times together and you still care about each other." He stated.
Jade took a step closer to him. "Why? Why would you think that I still care about him?" She inquired. "Or... Do you know if Beck cares about me?" She added, trying to stifle a smile.
Moose chuckled. "Relax... He just seemed to worry a lot about a problem you have or something..." He responded.
Jade looked at Tori. "I told you not to tell anyone! Especially Beck!" She said, gritting teeth.
"I didn't!" Tori replied.
"Cat told us that you had a problem." Moose pointed out.
"Really?" Jade asked him. Moose nodded. Jade bit her lip. "Okay, then... And, did Beck say something?"
"Well... He told me to come to you, probably because he wanted to stay alone with Cat and ask her if she knew anything." He answered.
Jade took a deep breath. "It's fine." She chocked out.
"Will you tell me why did you break up?" He asked her in a baby voice.
Jade took a look at Tori. Tori shook her head negatively, making Jade smile evilly. She glanced at Moose. "Yes. Let's go to the janitor's closet to tell you." She stated and grabbed his hand, pulling him with her in the janitor's closet.
Once they got in, she closed the door and looked at him. "First of all, I want you to consider me as your best friend. What happened between us-"
"It was a mistake." Jade finished his sentence. "I know and I'm glad you have the same opinion." She added.
"So... Will you tell me what happened?"
"Only if you help me with something." Jade replied.
Moose squinted at her. "What do you want me to do?"
"Go on a date with me." She answered.
Moose sighed in desperation. "Jade... I thought you believed that we should stay fr-"
"I still do. I just want to know if Beck still cares about me. I can't believe that he broke up with me without a reason, so I wanna know if he still has feelings for me. And I think you're the best person to help me make him a little jealous..." She explained, smiling evilly.
"So... He broke up with you?"
Jade rubbed the back of her neck. "Well... Kinda. Everyone thinks it's mutual, but I heard him talking to Andre and telling him that he wanted to break up with me, so-"
"So, you couldn't let him break up with you first." Moose interrupted her.
Jade gave him a scowl. "Never interrupt me ever again." She stated coldly.
Moose looked at his feet. "Sorry."
Jade rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Exactly, I couldn't let him break up with me first. But I have to know why he wanted to break up with me in the first place. And I have to find out if he still cares about me."
"Do you still love him?"
"Yes. And please don't tell anyone why I broke up with him. Got it? Not even Beck or Andre."
"Okay. I won't."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Jade smiled. "Good. Then, only one thing we have to say now."
Moose furrowed his eyebrows. "What?"
"What time are you gonna pick me up for our date?" She asked, raising her pierced eyebrow.
"Beck's gonna kill me..." Moose muttered and chuckled.
Jade frowned. "I hope so." She replied.
-Later-
Jade entered Sikowitz's classroom, followed by Cat and Tori. "So... He asked you out?" Tori asked her in surprise.
Jade let out a sigh in frustration and turned to look at her. "Yes, Tori... He asked me out. I have a date tonight."
"B-But... You broke up with Beck only two days ago... Do you think it's right?" She questioned shyly.
Jade rolled her eyes. "It's my life, Tori. It's my date, my break-up, my ex-boyfriend and my wanna-be boyfriend! Okay?"
"Yeah. And I'm your friend."
"No, you're not."
"I know many things, Jade..." Tori muttered, staring into Jade's eyes.
Jade bit her bottom lip and glanced at Cat, who was observing their interaction.
"What does Tori know?" Cat wondered.
"Nothing." Jade mumbled and walked to a chair. She sat down and took her phone off of her pocket, focusing on it and avoiding talking to anyone.
Cat and Tori exchanged a look. "Do you think it's right?" Tori asked Cat.
She shrugged. "Frankly, Jade doesn't listen to no one. It doesn't really matter what I think. If she wants to go on a date with her ex-boyfriend's friend only two days after their break-up, it's totally cool with me." Cat stated.
"What?" Beck emerged between them. He glared at Cat. She bit her bottom lip and looked at Tori, asking for help. "What did you say, Cat?" Beck asked her, trying to gain a softer tone. Andre was standing behind Beck with his eyes wide-open.
"Um... Ugh... A-A friend of mine has a date tonight." Cat stuttered.
"Who?" Beck snapped at her.
"Someone. You don't know all my friends!" Cat shouted and walked away, leaving Tori alone with Beck and Andre.
Andre took a step forward and stood next to Beck. He glanced at Beck, before turning to Tori. "Tori?" He muttered.
"Yeah?" Tori forced an innocent smile.
"Does Jade have a date tonight with Moose?" He questioned directly.
Tori tried to widen her smile. "Yeah?"
"Is this a question or a statement?" Beck asked angrily, his fists clenched.
Andre gave him a scowl. "Calm down." He ordered and looked at Tori again. "So... Was that a question or a statement?" He asked softly.
Tori sighed. "Yes. Jade does have a date with Moose tonight." She stated.
Beck coughed and looked at his phone. "I'm sorry, guys. Someone is calling me, I'm going out for a moment." He told them.
"But I didn't hear anything." Andre pointed out.
"Me neither." Tori agreed.
"I have it on vibrate!" Beck shouted as he was storming out of the classroom.
Tori turned to Andre. "Do you think he's mad?" She questioned.
"Honestly?"
"Yeah."
"Yes. I think he's mad. He's very mad." He stated and glanced at Jade.
-Meanwhile-
Beck went to Ashplant Cafe and called Moose. He was waiting for a long time, until his friend answered.
"Hello?"
"How the hell could you do that?!" Beck yelled.
"Do what?"
"You know that me and Jade broke up just two days ago! You know how I felt when you kissed her. You know how I was when we broke up. You fucking know how I feel about her!" He shouted.
"Dude... You broke up with her. I know it was mutual, but it was your fault."
Beck furrowed his eyebrows. "How could that be my fault?"
"Beck, you know better than me what happened in you and Jade's break-up. I may not completely understand some things, but I know much. It was mainly your fault." Moose stated.
"Wh-What? Did Jade tell you anything? Look, Moo-"
"Beck. I know some things, you know some things... The fact is that you and Jade aren't a couple anymore and I have my chance. So, I'm going on a date with her. I don't care if you're jealous."
Beck widened his eyes. "I'm... I'm not jealous."
"Oh, you're not?"
"No. No, I'm not jealous. I don't care if Jade has a date. I'm just pissed at you because you asked my ex-girlfriend out. That's all. But I'm not jealous. I am not. Got it?"
"Yes, Beck... I got it. You are NOT jealous. Bye."
"Bye." He hung up and tossed his phone in his school-bag. Beck's eye caught Festus staring at him. Festus smirked and raised an eyebrow at him. "I'm not jealous, Festus. I'm really not." He exclaimed calmly and walked away.
-Lunch time-
Beck, Andre and Tori were sitting at their usual table, eating lunch. Robbie and Cat were at their own table, giggling and smiling at each other. Andre glanced at Beck.
"So... Jade has a date tonight, uh?"
Beck shrugged. "I hope she has a good time." He replied
Andre and Tori exchanged a look. "You're not mad?" Tori asked.
Beck chuckled. "Of course not. Why should I be? Me and Jade broke up and she's free to go out with whoever she wants." He stated and took a sip of his soda.
Tori squinted at him. "Really?"
"Yes, Tori... Really. Why are you so surprised?"
"Because we saw you how you reacted when you found out that Jade had a date..." Andre answered.
"Well... It was unexpected. But now I've thought of it and I can't understand why I reacted like that. I'm cool, seriously. You don't have to worry at all." He reassured them.
"Well... Okay, then..." Andre murmured. "Hey, Tori? Do you know where Jade and Moose are going tonight?"
"I think they're going to Nozu."
"Ugh, whatever. So, I was wondering if you guys wanna come over to my house tonight. I've already told Cat and Robbie and they're coming. I was gonna ask from Jade to come, too, but I think she has better things to do..." He said and laughed.
"That's for sure. Okay, I'm coming. Should I bring something?" Tori questioned.
"Um... No, not really. I have chosen the movie we're gonna see and I already have the snacks." He responded. "So, Beck, you'll come, right?"
"Um..." Beck furrowed his eyebrows. "Sorry, Andre. But, no. I won't come." He answered.
"Why?"
"Because I have to wash my RV. I promised my dad and I really have to do it. I'm very sorry, Andre." He explained.
"No, no... It's totally okay." Andre replied.
Beck nodded. "Good." He muttered.
-Beck's RV-
"Hello?"
"Hi, Sinjin." Beck replied.
"Beck? Did you call me?"
Beck rolled his eyes. "Obviously. I wanna ask for a favor."
"What kind of favor?"
Beck rubbed the back of his neck. "Well... I kinda need you for... um... observing someone." He explained.
"Are you asking from me to help you spy on Jade and Moose?"
Beck scoffed. "What? Of course not! But you're good at... observing people, so I need some advice."
"Um... Okay, Beck. Sure. You can come over to my house and I'll help you observe whoever you want."
"Thanks, Sinjin. But, you listen to me, you mustn't tell anyone that I asked for your help, especially on this issue. Got it?"
"Sure. I'll keep our secret."
Beck groaned. "It's not a secret. It's just... something I don't want other people to know. Okay?"
"Okay. I'll be waiting for you."
"I'm coming." Beck muttered and hung up. He threw his phone on his desk and let out a sigh. He ran a hand through his hair and took a deep breath. "I'm just doing it to see if Moose treats Jade good. That's all. I'm not jealous." He said to himself and grabbed his cell phone and his keys before exiting his RV.
-Nozu-
Jade and Moose were sitting on a table, talking. Jade skimmed the place quickly. "Do you see Beck?" Moose asked her.
"Nope. I just hope I'll see him." She murmured.
At the other side of the restaurant, Beck was sitting on a table, having the menu in front of his face, making sure not to be recognized. Mrs Lee approached him.
"The handsome boy with the hair is spying on someone, uh?" She stated.
Beck glared at her. "Shh!" He hissed her. "I'm not spying. I'm just looking at them from a distance, making sure that they won't see me." He mumbled.
"Oh! Who are you spying on?" She asked and took a seat next to him.
"I'm not spying!" Beck told her, gritting his teeth.
Mrs Lee rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say..." She whispered and looked at Jade and Moose. "Are you looking at that hot boy and his girlfriend over there?" She questioned.
"She's not his girlfriend." Beck corrected her.
"She's not his girlfriend yet." She added.
Beck glanced at her. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Look at them. They seem to enjoy each other's company..." She commented.
Beck groaned and took a look at Jade and Moose's table. "I used to date her. And he was my best friend." He muttered.
"Ouch. That's not good."
"I know..."
"They must be bad people..."
"They're not. Actually, Jade isn't bad. I don't know about Moose. But Jade isn't bad at all. I don't know why she wanted to break up with me, but I should've stayed and discussed it with her, instead of putting my precious pride over my relationship. I guess she had a good reason why she wanted to break up with me. Maybe I was mean to her, maybe she was still hurt from our previous break-up. I don't know. But I really wanna find out." He explained.
"Then... Why aren't you going to talk to her?"
"I can't. She's with Moose."
"Go later. You can visit her house." Mrs Lee suggested.
Beck bit his bottom lip. "You know what? You're right. I should go talk to her." He stated and looked at them again.
Moose was massaging softly Jade's hand and she was smiling at him. Beck sighed.
"What's wrong?" Mrs Lee asked him.
"Um... I'm sorry, but we have a little problem with the chef." A guy poked Mrs Lee's shoulder.
She rolled her eyes and looked at him. "What kind of problem?"
"He fainted."
"Then, you cook instead of him. I have more important things to do."
"But, he-"
"Oh, please!" She cut him off. "We have heart problems here!" She muttered angrily.
The guy widened his eyes. "Who's got heart problems?" He inquired in shock.
Mrs Lee sighed in frustration. "Just leave." She ordered. The guy nodded and walked away. She turned to Beck again. "So... Tell me what happened to you."
"I'm not gonna talk to her." He stated.
"What? Why?"
"Because when I heard that she wanted to break up with me, I couldn't let her do that, so I told her that I wanted to break up with her, too. I am supposed to be cool with her dating Moose. I'm Beck. I'm never jealous and I wanted to break up with her. I can't just go to her house and tell her that I want her back. She'll murder me." He explained.
"Boy... Nowadays, teenage relationships are so messed up. When I was a teenager, we just-"
"I really don't wanna hear about it." Beck interrupted.
Mrs Lee shrugged. "Whatever you want..." She murmured and stood up. "But I think you shouldn't stay here all the time. Leave or go and talk to them." She suggested and walked away.
Beck exhaled loudly and took a look at his ex-girlfriend and his friend. Moose looked at his direction, making him hid his face again behind the menu. Moose squinted at him.
"What's wrong?" Jade asked him.
"Um... Nothing." He replied and smiled at her. "I should leave. I'm sorry but Beck's parents are waiting for me for diner."
"Oh, sure. It's okay. Besides, I don't think Beck will come. I'm leaving with you." She said and stood up. Moose took a last look at Beck's table before exiting the restaurant with Jade.
-Beck's RV-
Moose knocked Beck's door. No response. He knocked again. "Beck? Are you in there?" He questioned. When he got no answer, he was sure about what he had seen in the restaurant.
Beck emerged behind of him. "Moose? What are you doing here?"
Moose turned around and faced him. He crossed his arms on his chest. "Where have you been?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
Beck narrowed his eyes. "Apparently not here. Is there a problem?"
"I saw you at Nozu." Moose blurted.
Beck scoffed and unlocked his RV door. "Don't be ridiculous. Why would I be at Nozu?"
Moose followed him in. He shrugged. "I don't know... Maybe because me and Jade were there..." He stated suspiciously.
"Wh-What? Of course not! Why would I be spying on you, hiding my face behind a menu? That's weird and so not me. I'm not like that and you know that." He mumbled.
Moose sighed and glared at him. "You just told me that you were spying on us."
"I was spying. I was just observing you from a distance, making sure not to be recognized. How many times do I have to say it? I don't like the word 'spying'!" He shouted.
"So... You were observing us, uh?" Moose asked him back.
Beck pursed his lips. "Maybe." He muttered, gritting teeth.
Moose gave him a scowl. "I don't understand why you're doing this. I mean... You wanted to break up with her first, why do you care about her now?"
"I didn't wanna break up with her."
"You did. That's why Jade told you to break up. Because she heard you talking to Andre and telling him that you wanted to break up with her." Moose spilled, but immediately widened his eyes and covered his mouth. "I wasn't supposed to say it..." He muttered.
Beck shook his head. "No. Probably Jade lied to you. I heard her talking to Tori and telling her that she wanted to break up with me, that's why I dragged Andre into the janitor's closet and told him what I had heard. So, he suggested that I break up with her first." He corrected him.
Moose was looking at him with his eyes wide open. "B-Beck?"
"What?"
"As I told you, Jade told me that she heard you and Andre talking in the janitor's closet and she heard you telling that you wanted to break up."
"That's impossible. She wanted to break up with me first."
"No, you wanted to break up with her first."
"No. Okay? I know what I've heard. She-" He stopped and sighed desperately.
"Beck?"
"Uh?"
"Did you hear her saying your name?" Moose questioned. Beck shook his head. "Then, how do you know that she and Tori were talking about you?"
Beck shrugged. "I-I don't know... Maybe-" He paused and slapped his forehead. "Oh, crap. What a mess..."
Okay! I hope you liked it! Stay tuned for the third and final chapter of this story! Please don't forget to REVIEW! Reviews are the second best thing on the Internet, you know... ;)
