Bang! Bang! "You'll get it!" sounded from upstairs as Terry Vega slumped down the stairs, wondering who the hell would be knocking on the door at this hour.
"Please, shut up Tray, and go back to your interpretive dancing or something!" Terry yelled back at his brother as he heard a thump come from Tray's room. Probably him falling or something. That ham, Terry thought.
"Could you answer the door any slower?" shouted a familiar voice outside, and Terry stopped in his tracks. Oh no, oh no. He's coming to finish the job, he's gonna beat me up because he couldn't do it when Becky was here... "I'm still out here, you know! Open the door, Vega, I need to talk to you!"
Terry sighed and opened the door, only to be greeted not with a 'Hey' but with a shove against his shoulder as Jaden West made his way through the door. "Umm," he started when Jaden was fully inside the house, "you're not gonna beat me up, are you?"
Jaden sighed in exasperation, "no, Vega, I'm not here to beat you up, as tempting as that sounds."
"Then what's the hammer for?" Terry pointed at the ball-peen hammer that Jaden held in his hand, loosely swinging it against his palm.
"Oh, this?" Jaden held up the hammer, "I like playing with hammers. They... calm me." He gave Terry a blank stare, trying to psyche him out with his creepy expression.
"Well, can you set it on the mantlepiece or something? It's making me uneasy." The brunette squirmed.
"Sure, Vega, anything for you..." West slowly walked past our protagonist, trying to subtly swing the hammer against Terry's crotch, crippling him. Thankfully, Terry realized what Jaden was going to do, and quickly protected himself. He seethed at the tall, leather-clad boy as he placed the hammer on the mantlepiece. "Happy now?"
"Very, now... Why are you at my house at 10pm at night?"
"I know that 10pm is at night, Vega."
"Oh my God, you are sooo missing the point here. Why are you at my house?" Terry wasn't amused at Jaden's attempt at being a smart-ass.
"No need to make your balls drop so aggressively, Vega... I need a favor from you." Jaden suddenly looked down at his feet, ashamed that he had to come ask his enemy for help with a problem he should be able to solve himself.
"What favor?" Terry was surprised at his rival's sudden embarrassment.
"I need your help.. getting me back together with Becky..." West looked anywhere but towards the person he was speaking to, seriously considering just walking out the door and pretending this never happened.
"You guys broke up?" Terry yelled, a little too happily, so he toned it down a bit, "I mean, you guys broke up?" he said, a little more nonchalantly.
"Don't get your stupid little hopes up, Vega," Jaden made a you-better-watch-it face,"you can't have her. We're getting back together, I just need your help making the process a little bit smoother."
"Why would I help you? I like Becky, and you do nothing but treat her like crap, anyway."
"You don't know what you're talking about, I do not treat her like crap!" Jaden stepped forward a little too menacingly, and Terry had to step back.
"Really, West, really? She does nothing but good things for you, she's always nice to you, always there to calm you down when your temper gets too much, and how do you repay her? You act like an overprotective, jealous douchenozzle and embarrass her in front of her friends! Do you know why everyone hangs around you? It's not because you're a pleasant person. You're a jerk and we just put up with you because you're dating Becky! You always yell at my brother that 'nobody likes him', but maybe you should be yelling at yourself! We all know you don't deserve Becky, she knows it, and heck, maybe even you know it! You're just an unpleasant person, Jaden, and nobody likes you!" Terry yelled back at Jaden in an uncharacteristic act of anger. It was so unlike him, but he had so many bottled-up feelings of resentment toward Jaden since the day he arrived at Hollywood Arts. Since he dumped the coffee on his head, since he got Terry detention by pretending to be hurt while they were stage-fighting. They just finally needed to come out.
"You tell 'im, Terry!" Tray yelled from the steps, cowering behind the railing in case Jaden decided to advance on him.
"Go back upstairs, Tray!" Terry screamed at his brother, still in hostile mode. Tray quickly scrambled up the stairs, scared of his younger brother's new demeanor.
"Whatever, Vega, you can drink my wazz! You don't know chiz about my relationship with Becky! You don't know that we love each other! We've been together for almost two years!" Jaden screamed back in Terry's face, but he was unfazed. "But you know what? Forget you! I can back together with her without your help! Goodbye!" Jaden walked out the Vegas' front door and slammed it shut as he began to walk back to his car. Terry could have sworn that he saw a tear fall down Jaden's face as he walked away.
Terry didn't know that Becky and Jaden had been together for so long. He hadn't known that they were in love, he didn't really know anything about their relationship except for what he had seen on the outside. I mean, if Jaden really did treat Becky badly, Andrea would have a problem with him, wouldn't she? And, Andrea is Becky's best friend, they wouldn't be together if Becky knew that Andrea didn't like him. Also, I'm sure Becky's smart enough not to stay in an abusive relationship with somebody. Jaden made it sound like he was the one that dumped her. So,... I think we've both made big mistakes, Terry thought.
He decided to remedy his mistake in the morning, but now, he just thought of ways to get his two friends (used very loosely with Jaden) back together.
This is only the first part of a (supposed to be) two-part story arc. Don't quote me on that, though. As you can probably tell, this story arc is loosely based on Jade Dumps Beck. Also, I know that Tori doesn't have a giant crush on Beck in the series, but I wanted Terry to like Becky just to have a little conflict there. Conflict, every story needs it.
I digress, please review and such if you like it. The reviews, story alerts, and such that I've gotten so far really means a lot, it really motivates me to update more often, knowing that someone is reading and liking my story, so please... Anyway, I'll hopefully be updating again tomorrow, but again, don't quote me on that. It's summer, I got chiz to do.
