Here's the part two I promised! Sorry this is really angsty and just depressing, but I think it's a good second chapter for the fic (Their firsts, then their lasts). Hopefully there will be a part three if Bade gets back together as promised. ;)

Also, I have no idea how TheSlap works (once again, British problems, since it doesn't work over here), so correct me if I'm wrong.

Read and review!

i.

The last time they kissed, they didn't know it would be the last.

It wasn't a perfect, romantic kiss, not by any standards. It was a rushed, brush-of-the-lips kiss, as Jade went to her singing class and Beck to his script-writing. The kiss was full of coffee (they'd both had at least two cups by that time, and it was only just midday) and promises of more to come, and it left Beck grinning as he walked into his class and sat down next to Andre. The dark-skinned teenager just shook his head at his friend's behaviour.

He didn't know that he would miss Beck's knowing smile.

ii.

The last time they held hands, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

They were at school - again - walking through the Asphalt Cafe after grabbing two burgers and a forth coffee each, even though it had only been an hour since their last and Jade was seriously beginning to question if she had an addiction to the stuff. She couldn't help it; she'd been up late the previous night. But, when her 'friends' - not that Tori actually counted as a friend.. yet - asked why she was tired, she just murmured some excuse about homework and revision and exams, despite her perfect 4.0 GPA and it being three months before exam season, before squeezing Beck's hand and smirking to herself.

His parents should have realised that living alone would have given him a little more freedom than they intended.

iii.

Their last date isn't really a date. Not by any standards, really, but they have no other word for what they do after school.

It's almost a tradition; Jade comes over to his RV, and they attempt to study, but always end up talking, just talking, about anything and everything. It's never serious stuff, just the lighthearted jokes that Jade pretends not to like in public, but that make her laugh when they're alone.

It's the last time they say 'I love you', too, though neither of them know it. She's leaving, so he kisses her cheek and tells her that he's excited to see the rehearsal of Sinjin's new game show the next day. Of course, Jade has a few choice words to say about Sinjin, and Beck lets her, because he knows that it makes her happy to insult their lanky almost-but-maybe-not-quite friend. But then she smiles at him when she realises he's not going to tell her off, and whispers the three words that he loves hearing from the tough girl who once hated him.

iiii.

Their last fight is messy.

The first half - that Beck later refers to as Beck and Jade's closet party, to make Cat happy, and because he wants to put a positive spin on something very unpleasant for him to think about - happens in school. In a janitor's closet, of all places. Sinjin's game show didn't go down so well for them - though, of course, that's a major understatement. It was horrible, and they're all too aware of it - and now they've dragged poor Cat into the middle of their argument. He can see her whimpering something about her bed, but he doesn't help the tiny redhead, because he's sick of being the bad guy in Jade's eyes and he wants her to realise that he's not going to always be there to listen to her screaming at him. Beck isn't proud of the fight, and he's sure that Jade isn't either, but he's too caught up in the moment to feel anything but anger and a tiny piece of love that he can't shake when he looks at Jade, even though he's so mad it hurts.

"Cat, are Jade and I a perfect couple?"

"Don't answer that!"

"Answer it!"

"Say nothing!"

"Come on!"

"You come on!"

And then poor Cat faints, and he feels awful, but he's still annoyed at Jade, because can't she just see? But Beck is an actor, and he has learnt that showing too many feelings is dangerous, so he doesn't shout, he doesn't yell, he just walks off, fuming from every pore because he loves her so much, and he wants to be with her, but it just hurts.

Their next fight - the second half - is no prettier. In fact, it's almost worse, due to the fact that it's not only sweet, innocent Cat who has to watch, but all of their friends. Everyone Beck cares about is now stuck in the middle of his and Jade's issues, and they don't even want to hang around with them anymore because of it. But then, she gives him a choice. She's going to count to ten, and then leave.

Beck waits a few seconds, testing the waters, though he knows from the moment the words leave her mouth that he's going to follow her. So he begins to walk to the door, but then there's Trina of all people, and he tries to get there, to Jade, but he doesn't quite reach her, and she's then she's gone, and their entire relationship - those brilliant, wonderful, horrible but beautiful two years - is lying smashed on the floor.

It hurts when he climbs into his RV that night and sees his tangled sheets.

iiiii.

The last time they speak is a few hours after their fight.

It's not actually the last time they speak - they share all of the same friends, so it would be impossible to avoid each other that much - but it's the last time Beck ever speaks to her when they're still - sort of, maybe, possibly - together.

Jade is sitting at her computer, surfing TheSlap, because she has nothing better to do, with no real friends, and no real family, and no Beck. Her fingers automatically type his name into the search engine and suddenly she's on his profile, watching the video they made when they were happier. It hurts her to see it, and she momentarily glances around her room to see what there is that she can break if she wants too, but still she watches. When the video ends, Jade sits in silence for a moment. Then she clicks on her own profile, and goes to the settings page, hovering her mouse over the option to change her relationship status. She doesn't want to change it, she doesn't want to even think about it, and she's going to turn it off before a tiny 'one' appears in her message inbox. Without wanting to, she opens it, and her heart leaps because it's from Beck, but it's only two words.

I tried.

She changes her status to 'not in a relationship' moments later.

Reviews are always lovely.
