(A/N): Thank you so much for the reviews! I never thought people would like the first chapter.

Chapter 2! It didn't take long to write as I expected. I'm just free writing so nothing that I write is planned at all. If you guys have any suggestions for future chapters, they will be surely appreciated. Just let me know. Criticism is welcome too. Alright, read on to chapter two.

Sikowitz's class finally ended and so Jade hurriedly picked up her bag, slung it over her shoulder and left the room before any of the others could, especially Beck. She had Theatre History next and it was a good thing that she had that class alone. She needed the time to think.

What am I gonna do? There's no way out of this now. She thought, Great. Now I have to think of a present to give to Beck. Why? Why didn't I just stay home?

She slipped into her Theatre History class and took out her notebook. She started listing all the possible things that she could possibly give to Beck without it seeming like she hated him, which she did, and without it seeming like she still loved him, which she did too.

So far, she only listed three things: a jug of fresh lemonade that she'd make herself (How original, she thought), a new checkered shirt, and a new guitar pick to add to his collection.

No one really knew it but Beck has a guitar pick collection. He keeps them all in a tin box in his closet. He actually is good at playing guitar but no one really knows and he doesn't really work on it so much because he focuses more on his passion in acting. Jade is the only one who knows about it. It shocked her at first when Beck played her a song for their first anniversary. It was cheesy but sweet.

-Flashback-

Jade furiously stomped her way to Beck's RV. How dare he just leave her at school on their first anniversary and let Andre drive her to his place?! She gave him the leather jacket that he always wanted and she had, "I love Jade West" stitched on the inside. Beck had lit up like a Christmas tree and wore it right away when she gave it to him. But she hasn't gotten her present yet. Beck said he'd give it to her later that day but then when school had ended, she couldn't find him. All she got was a text from Beck that said, "Hey babe, sorry had to leave early. Andre will drive you over to my RV. Love you." And so Andre drove her to Beck's and now here she was, pounding her boyfriend's RV door furiously.

"Beck! Open up!" she screamed while hitting the door with her fist.

Finally the door opened and Beck came into view.

"Okay. Why—"

"Hey, Jade. Can't talk right now." She was cut off by her boyfriend stepping out of the RV and walking past her to his backyard. This only made Jade madder than she already was. What the hell was he doing? It's their anniversary for crying out loud. It's supposed to be special.

"Beck!" Jade screamed and went after him. He ignored her and disappeared into his backyard.

Jade groaned and ran after him. He is not getting away with this.

"Beck, this is not funny. Why would you—" Jade stopped talking as soon as she got into Beck's backyard. It was decorated with black and silver streamers and there were black and silver balloons in the pool. On the deck, there was a table set up for dinner on one end and a screen and projector on the other side. There were two recliners set up in front of the screen and there was soft music playing in the background. She could smell the food cooking from the kitchen.

"You were looking for me?" Beck had appeared by Jade's side. He was still wearing the leather jacket that Jade had given him.

"H-how did you— B-but—" Beck cut her off by kissing her softly on the lips then took her hand.

"Shh. Happy Anniversary, Jade." He smiled and led her to the steps of the deck and let her sit down.

"Wait one sec." he said then disappeared into the house. Jade took the time to take in her surroundings. She was still amazed. Beck really put a lot of effort into this and she just got him a leather jacket!

Just then, he came back with a guitar slung over his shoulder and a silver box in his hand.

"For you." He smiled and gave her the box. Jade opened it and inside was a necklace with a gold circle pendant. She took it out and ran her thumb around it.

Beck smiled at her amazement. This is exactly the reaction that he wanted from her. He's never seen her so speechless before. He reached for the pendant in her hands and flipped it over.

"Read what it says." He said.

Jade looked down and squinted to see the tiny engravement on the pendant.

"Beck's girl." She read and smiled, "I love it. Thank you." She whispered.

"And I love you." He replied then took the necklace from her hands and placed it around her neck. Jade touched the pendant, tracing the circle with her index finger and then looked up.

"Forever?" she asked, tracing her finger over the circle over and over again.

"Forever." He placed a soft kiss on her lips. "I have one too and it says, Jade's guy." He smirked and held the gold pendant around his neck.

"Now to give you you're other present." He got out a remote from his back pocket and clicked it to turn off the music that was playing in the background. He then dug into his pocket and got out a guitar pick but five others fell to the ground as he did.

Jade laughed, "How is it that you have six guitar picks in your pocket? And since when did you play guitar?"

"Actually, I have 10 picks in my pocket. I was in rush so I stuffed all of them into my pocket." He replied while picking up the fallen picks and placing them into his pocket. This made Jade laugh even more. "Hey! Okay, you can make fun of me later and I've been playing guitar for two years now."

Jade calmed herself down, "Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I just never saw you as the type to play guitar or have a guitar pick collection."

Beck fake gasped, "Did Jade West just say, sorry? It's a miracle!"

She punched his arm and smirked, "Just play the song already."

He laughed and stepped back a bit. The sun was setting just as he started playing.

"Your eyes, Your eyes

Make the stars look like they're not shining,

Your hair, Your hair

Falls perfectly without you trying,

You're so beautiful and I tell you everyday.

I know, I know

When I compliment you, you won't believe me…."

When the song ended, Jade came up to him and kissed him.

"That was amazing. I never knew you could sing like that. Cheesy song but I loved it." She smiled and kissed him again.

"Happy anniversary, Beck."

"Happy anniversary, Jade."

-End of Flashback-

Jade snapped out of her daydreaming when the bell rang. Theatre History was done. She stuffed her notebook into her bag and exited the room and heading to her next class. She was walking down the hallway when she saw Beck enter the classroom that she was about to enter.

Shoot! I forgot I have science with him today. Ugh! She thought to herself. She was very forgetful today. She decided not to go to science and went straight to the janitor's closet. Jade plopped herself down on the floor and took out her notebook again and thought of what to give her ex for his birthday.

Just as she wrote down and crossed out two more possible presents for Beck, the door opened and a redhead popped her head in.

"Hi!" she squeaked.

"What do you want?" Jade asked annoyed. Cat stepped into the closet and sat down next to Jade on the floor.

"I just thought something was wrong. You were late and you didn't talk to us for the whole first period and I saw you skip class and you didn't say happy birthday to Beck yet." She replied.

Cat had the biggest heart that anyone Jade had ever known. She was always the first one to come to her whenever she felt like something was wrong with her. Jade was always grateful to have Cat as a friend. As her best friend. Even though she'd never admit it.

"It feels awkward to be around Beck on his birthday. We always spent birthdays together before we'd meet up with you guys for the actual party. And I can't think of anything to give him without it seeming like I still love him." Jade explained. She kept her eyes on her notebook, staring at her short list of possible presents.

"Can I help?" Cat asked.

"Sure. What do you have in mind?" Jade looked up to face her. She needed gift ideas and Cat could be good help. She did after all give her the actual scissors from her favorite movie, The Scissoring that she wanted.

"Remember that coffee you guys wanted to try out? The really exotic native coffee at that new coffee shop a block from here."

"Yeah. What about it?" Jade asked.

"Well, you said, you two would try it out sometime, on a special occasion. This is a special occasion. Why don't we all go and you could get Beck and yourself that native coffee without it being awkward cos we're all there anyway." She smiled, "It could be like a mini party."

"That's not a bad idea and I have been wanting to taste that native coffee." Jade replied and Cat giggled.

"Thanks, Cat."

"Can I have a strawberry muffin while we're there? And some hot cocoa? I don't like coffee." She asked and took out her stuffed giraffe from her backpack.

"Can Mr. Longneck come too?" she held up her stuffed giraffe to Jade.

Jade stared at the giraffe and pushed it away from her face, "Sure."

"Yay! Now I have to make him look pretty for later. Bye!" Cat said and practically jumped up and left the closet.

Jade rolled her eyes at the redhead. She fixed up her notebook and leaned back on the wall. She took out her pearphone to check the time. She had 30 minutes of class left before lunch time and a message from Beck.

Hey, how come you're not in class? You ok?

…..

(A/N): I wonder how it will go at the coffee shop. Beck is concerned about Jade. Hm…

The flashback was longer than I expected and the song I used is Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars. It was playing when I was writing that part of the chapter so it seemed to fit. I wasn't so satisfied with this chapter but let me know what you think! I'll welcome suggestions for the next chapter too. Please review!
