"Jade," Lane said, "I want you to stand in front of Beck. Beck you stand behind Jade. It's time for you to learn to trust him"
"I can't," she said, "It reminds me of the time he got mad at me."
"Beck why did you get mad at Jade?"
Beck groaned. He REALLY didn't want to go into this.
"She humiliated Tori and told an embarrassing secret about her. I couldn't just ignore that could I"
"DAMNIT BECK WHO THE HELL EVER GAVE YOU THE IDEA THAT YOU WERE IN CHARGE," Jade yelled.
"Is that something you guys fight about," Lane asked.
"Yeah it's something we fight about," Jade said, "Beck seems to think that he could just do whatever he wants whenever he wants-"
"You think I wanted to get mad at you," Beck exclaimed, "I didn't. I want you and Tori to be friends"
"You know it was ridiculous that you got mad in the first place," Jade snapped.
"Oh so I should be okay with someone I care about doing something stupid," he exclaimed.
"No," Lane interjected, "But you do know getting mad wasn't your only option"
"Well what else could I have done," Beck asked.
"Did you take the time to calm down first," Lane questioned.
"No. I was too riled up and frustrated."
"Did you ask her side of the story?"
"She didn't have one!"
"Beck you don't know that," Lane said, "What else could you have done?"
"Come on. It's not like this is new to her. Everyone has dealt with those things at one time or another"
"Are you in the Olympics," Lane asked.
"What? No I'm not"
"Really. Because you're jumping to conclusions"
Jade laughed.
"Well most people deal with those issues-"
"And some people deal with them in an extreme circumstance. Other people haven't dealt with certain situations before"
"But the normal and typical-"
"Doesn't exist. But getting back to the issue at hand, you and Jade when Jade embarrassed Tori how do you know Tori didn't antagonize Jade"
"It was the beginning of the day. I saw what happened. She was totally unprovoked."
"And what about other days," Lane asked, "What about the fact that she kissed you on her second day of Hollywood Arts. Jade may have felt entitled to exact revenge"
"But-"
"Let me ask you something. When all was said and done did Jade's behavior towards Tori change?"
"For a few days," Beck said, "and then she was meaner then ever"
"Did you get mad again?"
"I didn't have the energy to get mad again so I told her we couldn't be together until she was nice to Tori."
"Did that work?"
"Er... not so well," Beck admitted.
"Did you expect it to work?"
"Well obviously I expected it to work or I wouldn't have done it. She got really upset and I tried to just calm her down by saying "Calm down it's alright. All you have to do is be nice to Tori and..."
"I take it that didn't go over too big," Lane said,
"No. It did NOT go over too well at all. It was a complete and total disaster."
"How long did it last?"
"Too long," Jade said
"Jade," Beck interrupted, "I want you and Tori to get along."
"BECK THE ONLY WAY YOU TRY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN IS BY SIDING WITH HER," Jade said frustrated, "It makes me feel like I'm just 2nd best"
"She's usually in the right," Beck said
"Well you know what. Maybe you should just be with her,' Jade said
"Jade don't be silly," Beck said
"Beck right now you're being very disrespectful," Lane told Beck.
"Well it gets annoying when she gets so dramatic. She's over-reacting and she doesn't need to"
"You're downplaying her feelings right now"
"WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO," Beck exploded, "I SEE JADE PICK ON TORI ALL THE TIME. I SEE JADE EMBARASS TORI AND INSULT TORI WHEN TORI IS ALREADY HURTING AND UPSET. TORI IS MY FRIEND AND JADE IS MY GIRLFRIEND. I LOVE JADE BUT I ALSO LOVE TORI AS A FRIEND. SO I'M GOING TO STICK UP FOR MY FRIENDS WHEN THEY ARE BEING BULLIED"
"Do you see what happens before," Lane asked.
"Not always but most of the time"
"Vega started when she kissed you," Jade snapped.
"FOR GOD SAKE JADE THAT WAS A STAGE KISS"
"Yeah but you shouldn't have kissed her anyway. You could have easily said "Lets not do it" or even said something that didn't start with an L"
"But you were cruel to her," Beck said
"WHATEVER," Jade exploded.
"That's another thing," Beck said, "I HATE it when she says whatever"
"Do you want to just break up," Jade asked.
"No! I love you. You think some of the things you've done never upset me? But I don't hold it against you"
"Yeah right," Jade said sarcastically, "You bring it up in a million different little ways"
"I do not"
"YES YOU DO," Jade said, "Even in jokes"
"Well they're jokes," Beck said.
"I know they're jokes but it's obvious that you resent me for-"
"I don't resent you Jade," Beck said, "I resent some of the situations that have occurred yes but I don't resent you"
"Then why do you keep bringing it up," Lane asked gently
"Because it bothers me," Beck said
"Fair enough. But couldn't you let her know it bothers you?"
"No. She wouldn't let it go"
"You haven't given her a chance"
"I... maybe I haven't," he admitted, "But I feel like her behaviors are partly my fault"
"We're not talking about fault," Lane said, "We're talking about solutions. There is no such thing as fault in solutions"
"Alright," Beck said, "I guess you're right. Jade those things really did bother me."
"I'm sorry," Jade said, "I acted in the way I thought was best at the time"
