Hey guys, thanks for the reviews. It made me smile =)
Oh, according to Libra9213, yeah you're right, I messed up. I meant prologue, not epilogue. Thanks, for noticing.
So here is the 2nd chapter, hope you'll like it.
"What do you want, Vega?" I hissed.
"Jade! Nice to see you, too" She answered sarcastically.
"Ough, just tell me what you want" I said rolling my eyes and stepping outside.
"Me and Beck got paired up for a project and we wanted to meet today to finish it by monday" she simply explained.
"Your bad, he is asleep" She looked at me in disbelief, then looked at her pear phone and said
"But it's just 8 pm"
"So?"
"Why is he asleep?"
"Hm… I don't know. Why do people sleep? Oh, yeah, because they're tired." I answered getting annoyed.
"But…-"
"Are you stupid or are you just looking stupid?" I asked. "When he's asleep, he is asleep and basta."
"Okay, okay, just calm down." she answered backing off.
"You know what you are Tori?" I asked. She looked at me questioning.
"You are a bug. And do you know what bugs do?" I questioned.
"Ough, I don't know…they are small? But you know, I'm not –"
"No, they fly around, trying to annoy you, until you get the strong urge to catch and squash them." I said in a sweet tone, with a smile forming on my lips. She looked at me oddly.
"Okay, okay, I'll go then. See you later." she said waving while turning around.
"Hopefully not." I said loud enough for her to hear.
I got in the RV again and closed the door, letting her stand outside, all alone.
I sat down on the couch.
"Who was it?" Beck asked me half asleep.
"Just some kids who were selling cookies." I lied.
"Hmmm…" he grumbled, turning to his side and continuing sleeping.
She may think I hate her. But no, I don't. I can't hate her, because hating is a really strong feeling and she doesn't deserve any feelings from me. It's just something like disgust to her and her character. She tries to act all nice, tries to make friends with everybody, tries to be the center of everything good. And she tries to get Beck. Call me paranoid, but I see her looking at him with these eyes. These eyes, I'm looking at him. But I won't let her get him, because he is mine and he will be mine forever. Can it be? A person with no negative character traits? Answer it yourself. No. So she is hiding them and that's why I don't like her. But what's this school about? It's about acting, isn't it? So I think she fits in perfectly.
Half an hour later, Beck was awake and I had to go to the toilet. After I got back, I sat down on the couch. He was standing in front of me with crossed arms.
"What?" I asked.
"Tori told me what had happened, half an hour ago."
"So?"
"So? Why did you do that? We have to do a project together, that's all. I know you don't like her, but just think about me and my mark."
"Oh, I think we both know, that it's not just about your mark. You like her and –"
"Jade, again?"
"I'm sorry, that I just can't go home, knowing you will be with this brat alone in your RV, doing 'a project'." I made quotation marks on it.
"Jade, Jade, Jade, NO, not again."
"How often do I have to tell you, that there is nothing going on between Tori and me." he said calmly.
"You know, staying calm kind of shows me that you don't care about my concerns"
"That's just how I am, you want me to yell at you?"
"That would show me that you care" I said annoyed.
"Why can't you just trust me? Your jealousy is freaking me out."
"My jealousy just shows, that I do love you."
"Maybe we should just –"
"What? Break up? Again?"
"No, take a little break. You understand?"
"Yes, but I'm not dumb." I said and added with a man voice "We can get to know other people, maybe hook up"
"What?"
"I know what goal you're aiming at. Tori!" I said shouting.
"Calm down. No guts, no glory" he whispered.
"So, I'm right?"
"I just want to try, if it doesn't work out, then we can –"
"If? So you choose Tori over me?" I questioned flabbergasted.
"No, I love you, but –" I didn't give him the chance to finish his answer, I just needed to get out as quickly as possible. I was angry, shocked, sad. Why Beck? Do I mean anything to you? I questioned myself, as tears were running down my cheeks. I wouldn't let her get away with this. He is mine and no one steals him from me. I'll get Beck back.
The next month I was sitting with Cat at lunch, while Robbie and Andre were sitting with miss perfect and Beck. I appreciated Cats company. She is the only one, I could always count on.
"You know, you don't have to sit with me, you can go have lunch with the others" I said, still wanting her to stay.
"No, it's okay. I think that things will be in order again." she said smiling. "Uhm, can you give me your grapes?" she questioned, looking at me with her puppy face. I smiled.
"Go ahead."
"Yay!" Yes, you could make this girl happy with little things like that.
"You know what?"
"What?"
"Maybe I should go talk to Tori. You know, to put oil on troubled waters. Maybe we could get back to the old orders"
"You really would do that?" Cat asked me with surprise in her voice.
"Sure" I simply said and she hugged me tightly. "This is so nice of you" she added.
Whoever thinks, that I'm going to make friends with this little… No, Jade. You have to calm down. I thought to myself.
Of course I wouldn't make friends with her. I'm just going to claim what's mine. I could have threatened her, but that would just make things awkward between me and Beck and he possibly would hate me. That's why I have to make him to turn on her. And I knew how.
Acting.I know that I'm a good actress and now it's important and I have to simulate the nice, understanding ex-girlfriend, who tries to save the friendship.
"Vega!" I said, standing behind Tori, who was looking for something in her locker.
She turned around, facing me gulping. Let the fun begin.
"Yeah?" she said unsure what to answer.
"So, I gotta talk to you. About the whole situation. You know it's been awkward between us, since you were starting to date Beck. And now Cat is always hanging out with me, but I know that she just wants to sit with you guys. I told her like 500 times, that she can sit with you, but she wouldn't go. That's why I thought, that we could maybe burry the hatchet, you know?" I said, in a sad voice.
"Uhm, I don't really know. I think you still want Beck."
"No, I'm fine with you guys dating. It was his decision. I do still love him, yes, but for love you have to make sacrifices. And if he doesn't want me, I think I have to deal with it. So what are you thinking?"
"Ough. Well…"
"You don't have to do it for me. Do it for Cat" I said pleadingly. "I see her suffer everyday, and I just don't know what to do else."
"Fine, okay."
"Thanks Tori, you're really a good friend." I said smiling, she smiled back. I got her.
She turned around, ready to go to class. But I had to know something else.
"Uhm Tori, wait!"
"Yeah?"
"Just a little tip for you and Beck. He likes it, when you kiss his tummy before you –"
"We hadn't, you know. Not yet." she said cutting me off, waving like crazy with her hands, giving me a hint to stop, because she knew what I was going to say.
"Oh" was all I could answer. Now I knew it. Very good, now I found his weak point and I'm so not going to let him go.
"What are you doing at the weekend?" I asked her innocently.
"Uhm, on Saturday I'll be visiting my aunt till 5 o'clock, cause afterwards my dad has to go to work again, why are you asking?" she asked. You really wanna know?
"Well, I was just wondering if you would like to go drink a coffee with Cat and me." I made up an excuse.
"As I said, after 6 o'clock, sure, Cat and I can pick you up!" she said smiling.
"Looking forward" I said smiling back. "Bye" I turned around and left a mischievous smile on my lips.
On Saturday, I prepared myself for the big turning point. If everything goes well – no, everything will go well. I dressed suitable and put on a coat. Yeah, everything will go well.
I made my way to Beck's RV. I took out my mobile phone and looked at the clock. It read 5.15 pm. Great I thought as I rang the bell outside his RV.
"Hey Tor, how was visiting your aunt?" Beck said opening the door, without looking who it was.
"Expecting someone else?" I asked him, as I entered his RV. He turned around, facing me.
"Jade…" he said surprised. I closed the door of the RV.
"Beck…" I answered.
"Uhm, I don't want to sound mean, but what are you doing here?"
"Well, I think, that our 'little break' should be over soon"
"You know, I'm dating Tori." he answered. But not much longer I thought, while preparing to answer.
"Yeah, I somehow noticed it. But you just said, we're going to take a little break. And I think the break is over now."
"And you are the one who is deciding this?" he asked, as if he was confused.
"Well…"
"Jade"
"But you do love me."
"That doesn't matter right now. I'm dating Tori and I don't want to hurt her."
"But hurting me is okay?"
"..."
"You know what? I'm sorry. I didn't come to have a fight. I just want to stay friends with you, is it okay for you?"
"Tori told me about your conversation yesterday. And I have to say I'm kind of suspicious – why are you wearing a coat? It's not that fresh outside, is it?" I smiled seductively as I took off the coat. I was wearing his favourite lace lingerie. He gasped.
"Uhm Jade, what are you doing?" I came closer to him. And he just stood there watching me, as I moved in his direction.
"Nothing" I said innocently as I put my arms around his neck. He was dizzy, as he looked me in the eyes.
"You…we…Tori…I like her"
"Yeah, but you love me" I said, while watching him intensively in the eyes. He nodded slightly. He wanted it, he wanted it so bad, I could nearly feel it. But then he put my arms down, shaking his head.
"Enough" he said, but still looking me in the eyes.
"Hey Beck, it's me Tori, open up" We both immediately looked at the door. He, afraid of being caught, and I simply smiled. We looked at each other again. He wanted to say something, but I gently put my index finger on his lips, pointing him to be quiet.
Would he say something, or would he keep his mouth shut? This question also answers who he is going to choose.
Tori or ME?
Okay, this was the 2nd Chapter, hope you enjoyed it =)
Don't forget to review!
