Raders worldwide will be proud of me after reading this chapter. I feel like I captured the essence of what a Rade chapter should be. I hope you all agree and enjoy reading this chapter (and review? ^_^), titled Jade Belle.

No one more unique

You portray "that girl" better

beautiful Jade Belle


He could not help the stares he gave whenever Jade was around. Every love of Robbie's brain was observant as she walked past him in the halls or when she performed scenes in class. On the outside, Jade gave a portrayal as that of a stone-cold bitch. That certainly is not true on the inside, Robbie was sure of that. There was a crevice, he believed, somewhere in that West belle that showed the girly side of Jade; one that would be the best thing to ever happen to any man if they were to ever find it. The problem was that Jade's a boyfriend, Beck, was so nomadic and abnormally chill that just having a beautiful girl in his arms was enough for him. Compliments were said, but nothing more.

"That dude needs to show Jade that he's willing to go that extra mile. If that does not happen, he's going to be in hot water with her."

"What about Jade and going the extra mile?" Tori overheard Robbie talking to Rex about Jade; well, some key words she overheard and wanted to get more information. Robbie tried to play it cool, talking about how Rex was referring to one of his Northridge girls tweeting about how she loved the show "Made" on mtv.

"Can't be true, I heard Jade's name king said, and something about going the extra mile. Were you,"

"I wasn't talking about Jade,"

"What about my girlfriend?" Robbie froze as Beck now appeared, looking first at Tori, who gave her a wink and then at Robbie, who was sweating beads because of the Oliver eyebrows and lips that narrowed as he gazed at him.

"Nothing was said about your girlfriend." Beck was content with that, save for the bomb he dropped as he walked away. "I think I'm going to break up with her." That there was an anime moment in and of itself- Robbie, Rex, and Tori looked at Beck with a stunned look of shock as he shrugged his shoulders and continued off.

"Poor Jade, we got to tell her."

"No we don't Robbie, Beck said not to."

"Not quite…" Robbie had to practically beg, but he convinced Tori to invite Jade over to her home so they could hang out, and where she would be told of Beck's plan to break up with her. The plan went accordingly. Jade, along with Robbie and Cat, all had fun while having pizza and watching Cabin Fever 2. Tori pulled Jade to the side after Robbie and Cat left. Beck's plan was told to her, but she laughed it off, not wanting to believe such a thing would happen.


Well… it did happen and Jade was so distraught, so crushed of the breakup and its timing, she came to school for the next few days with pitch black bags under her eyes.

Damn that tool, look how he left Jade.

Jade still hung around her friends during this time, without Beck being around of course. Tori and Cat, for fear of what Jade usually does to her food, only occasionally asked how she was doing. If the burrito was only being poked with the fork, it meant that she was alright. Some days an entire bottle of Tapatio that Jade brought from home was pour all over the burrito- those days were not good ones. Just like anyone who was ever dumped, Jade's moods the days after being dumped spiked or dropped when things such as PDAs were being done. That made her feel like absolute crap because… sure she did not like showing such affection and being obnoxious about it, but that reassuring arm that was around her was enough and it made her feel happy.

Jade walks outside during lunch one day and sees Tori and friends by The Grub Truck all chirpy, overhearing what they were going to do with their vacations. Something about going to Yerba and performing for the chancellor.

"Jade you want to go with us?" From the corner of her eye, Tori sees Jade stand a few feet away with a somber look on her face. Everyone turns around to see Jade in a better mood than usual. She smiles as "yes" is about to be said. Cat could not contain her excitement, jumping to Jade and giving her a hug.

"We're going to have so much fun together!"

"It will be good to get away from the country. I originally-" Tori bit her lip because she was setting herself up for another cry.

"… to SING, that's what you wanted to say, right Jade?"

"Let me finish." Jade stopped to collect her thoughts and take a sip of her latte. Her seemingly positive mood changed with her not even bothering to put up a fight.

"It will be good to get away from the country since I was originally going to go to Cancun…" Jade threw down her latte and ran off, leaving Tori, Cat, and Andre stunned that a complete 180 was done.

"What do we do now? It would be really helpful if Jade came to Yerba with us."

"I can talk to her?"

"Doesn't Jade kinda not like you?"

"I know Cat, but… freaking Beck, why did you dump her?"

Jade slammed the door as she sat in the empty classroom, sitting down in the front aisle chair nearest the stage. She was not in the mood now to go anywhere, even though she really needed the trip to Yerba. Knowing herself the way she does, none of her friends were going to seek her out to convince her to go. So Jade was going to spend the vacation alone and with nothing to do and no one to talk to.

"Jade you in here?" Jade turned around and was stunned to find Robbie there and even more surprising was that Rex wasn't with him. Robbie asked if she was okay, to which Jade nodded yes as she cleaned her dripping makeup with her sleeves.

"I just wanted to know if you were okay. I understand if you want to be alone."

"It's okay, it's actually sweet that you came to ask." Robbie walked in and sat next to Jade as they began talking. Jade did not look at Robbie when she talked, but Robbie's eyes were superglued to Jade, not daring to take his eyes off of her.

"I thought that you would not want to talk to me."

"What gave you that idea?"

"You… don't exactly think much of me." Jade chuckled as she rested her head on Robbie's shoulder, her warmth sending jolts all over his body; the good kind that a guy loves feeling.

Days after Jade was dumped by Beck, she showed up on Tori's doorstep, still crying and mascara running down her face with no intention of cleaning up. Tori got her inside and offered a towel to wipe her face, to which she took to clean up.

"How are you holding up Jade?"

"Crappy, can't believe he would do that to me. I thought that we were doing good, then he just dumps me. I don't know what to do with myself." Tori was silent throughout Jade's little rant. I mean, what could she say that would make Jade feel better? Nothing could be said due to the fact that her emotions were still raw.

"We're really worried about you Jade."

"Don't be, it's Beck's fault for dumping me."

"If it makes you feel any better… Robbie is pleading with Beck to get back together with you."

"Wait, Robbie wants me to get back together with Beck?"

"He hates that you are sad and also how he can't do anything. The best thing he felt that he could help out with is by trying to get you back together with Beck."

"So you really tried to get me back together with Beck?" Jade's head remained on Robbie's shoulder, but he suddenly got up and headed onto the stage.

"I hated how you were dumped. You were so sad and dejected- I too felt that pain."

"Really?"

"Yes. I care about Jade, a lot, and it crushed me when you were feeling down like that and could not do anything about it." Robbie walked around the stage, debated whether he should perform that scene he was working on.

"I was going to perform something for you that explained just what exactly I feel for you, but I'm just going to tell you." Jade sat upright, not knowing what Robbie meant by what exactly I feel for you.

"I'm just going to say it because I cannot contain these emotions within me anymore- I'm in love with you Jade. I realize that a beautiful girl like you would never find someone like me desirable, but that did not hinder what I felt. I love you so much, it killed me what was done to you. For someone to do that to you is unforgivable."

"Just know that if you were my girlfriend, that would never happen. You would always get treated right and be spoiled rich with my love, and why would that be Jade? It runs for infinity, which means I'll never stop loving you. I'll always be by your side so that if/when times get tough, you won't ever have to walk that path alone. I'll be that rock, something steady and dependable for you to lean on. You'll always smile and be happy."

"That's what I wanted to say. Now you know how I feel." Robbie calmly walks down the steps and doesn't make it very far past Jade when his arm is grabbed.

"Jade?" Jade whips her hair back to reveal a glowing face and smile. She pulls in Robbie close as they both close their eyes. Robbie instinctively touches Jade's forehead with his, then pulls back as she places her head on his chest, the smiling remaining.

"I love you Jade." Jade looks at Robbie as she is glowing even more now as both their eyes once again close and the faces close in. A quick is given, followed by some steam-powered making out.

"I love you too Robbie." Jade said breathlessly, grabbing her bag and linking arms with her new boyfriend.
