Chapter 3: Our little secret
Jade's POV:
When I made sure that Beck had gone, I went upstairs running. My mom followed me. I opened my 'brother's bedroom' and reached Elizabeth's bed. I lifted her and held her in my arms.
"Okay... Time for a little freedom!" I told her and kissed her cheek gently. I let her down and she started running with her small feet all around the room. My mother gave her her favorite doll and approached me.
"In a week it's her birthday, right?" She asked me.
I nodded. "Her first birthday..." I added.
"And she can walk!" My mom exclaimed happily.
I rolled my eyes. "It's not big deal..."
"Yeah it is! She's almost one-year old and she can walk. You started walking at the age of two!" My mother told me.
"Whatever." I muttered.
"I can't believe that you actually kept your promise." My mom told me, as we were observing my daughter playing with her doll and laughing happily.
"I told you I would keep her and no one would never know about it. But I can't keep her in the house forever. When I go out for a walk with her, I'm forced to drive far away so that no one can see me. And when the bell rings, wherever Liz is, I have to take her to her room and keep her in there... I don't think I can do this for a long time..." I told her.
"Relax... Now, it's time for her to eat, get ready." My mother told me. I smiled and lifted Liz from the floor. She curled into my embrace and I kissed her forehead. I went downstairs and headed to the kitchen.
Andre's POV:
"Tori?" I called her. She turned her head and looked at me.
"What?" She replied.
"Come here a little..." I told her and stood up. I headed to the door and waited for her She approached me.
"What happened?" She asked me curiously.
"I need your help. Beck thinks Jade's cheating on him." I informed her.
Tori chuckled. "Really?" She asked me. I nodded. Her smile disappeared. "Why?" She questioned me seriously.
"I don't really know... Now, I want you to take Cat and Robbie to your house. I'll talk to Beck for a little and then I'm going to Jade's house to ask her if she's actually cheating on Beck." I told her.
"Wait. Do you believe that Jade actually may be cheating on Beck?" Tori asked me disgusted."
I sighed. "I... I don't know... Since Jade returned from Europe, she acts weird... She looks like she hides things, important things..."
Tori's POV:
I wanted to tell him so bad about that night... I couldn't take it, I couldn't find out what happened alone. I needed help...
Tell him!
No.
NOW!
I don't think it's right...
It is!
I sighed. "Andre?"
"Yeah?"
"I have to tell you something." I muttered.
"Okay... Tell me."
I took a deep breath. Two years ago, when Jade and Beck weren't a couple, I saw something." I told him, looking down.
"What did you see?"
"Beck went to Jade's house and he was drunk. He told her he loved her. She didn't respond. He collapsed as he was going back to his car and she heplped him. She took him to his house, or maybe, to his RV. They got inside. I heard Jade shouting, they were fighting. Then, I heard nothing. I stayed outside of Beck's RV for a long time, but nothing happened. I didn't see anything, I didn't hear a sound..." I said. He froze. "Hey... You ok?" I asked him.
He shook his head. "Yeah... Of course. I'll ask Jade about it. Will you do it?"
"Sure. Bye." I replied and turned around. I was about to go to our table, when I stopped and looked at him. "Oh! And..." I said.
"Yeah?"
"This whole story will be our little secret, right?" I asked him.
He nodded. "Sure."
"Okay." I whispered and headed to our table. I smiled at Cat, Robbie and Beck and suggested happily, "Hey guys! Why don't we go to my house? We can watch a movie and eat popcorn!"
"Um... I don't know..." Robbie muttered.
"Oh, c'mon! It's Saturday! We don't have school tomorrow..." I told him.
"Okay then!" He exclaimed happily.
I rolled my eyes and looked at Cat. "What about you, Cat?"
"Sure Tori!" She said smiling.
I looked at Beck. "I'm not in a mood Tori. Sorry." Beck muttered.
"Aww... What a pity... But if you don't want, it's cool. I'll tell Andre to stay with you for a little..." I told him. "C'mon guys! Let's go!" I said to Cat and Robbie. They stood up and followed me as I started walking to the door. I saw Andre approaching Beck at the table. I smiled at him and exited the restaurant with Cat and Robbie.
Beck's POV:
Andre reached the table and took tha seat next to me.
"What did you say to Tori?" I asked him curiously.
"Nothing... It's about the new song I'm making." He answered and looked at me innocently.
I raised my eyebrows. "Why couldn't we listen? Did you have to talk about it alone? Is it a secret?" I asked him suspiciously.
"No... It's just... whatever. I'll go to Jade's house and try to find out what's wrong with her. Okay?"
I sighed. "Okay. Thanks man."
"Don't talk about it... I'm going. Bye." He said.
"Bye." I replied. He stood up and walked to the door.
I stayed at my table alone, just thinking of my relationship. It was different, despite the fact that I didn't want to admit it... She wasn't the girl I had fell in love with five years ago. I knew that the way I broke up with her was the worst and most painful way. I loved her, when I didn't open the fucking door, I still loved her. Maybe if I had understood it, there wouldn't be this problem between us now...
I just wanted the relationship we had five years ago. I just wanted that weird, dynamic, strong relationship. I just wanted to look at Jade's eyes and know that she feels the same... Love. When we kissed, it was just me and Jade. No one else. We used to walk together, my arm around her waist, or her shoulders, and we felt good. I could understand she was mine, when I looked at her. Now, when I look at her, I see only a girl with confused eyes, sometimes I can recognize fear into her icy blue eyes.
I looked at the table next to me. A hot blonde girl was looking at me. I sighed and looked at the opposite direction irritated.
Andre's POV:
I stood outside of Jade's house, looking at the door. I was about to knock her door, when I thought I heard something... Something like... crying? A baby was crying inside of Jade's house, I was sure I heard that... I shook my head and knocked the door. I stayed there, waiting to hear footsteps coming closer. It felt like I was waiting half an hour, when suddenly, the door opened and I saw Jade standing in front of me.
Jade's POV:
I was trying desperately to feed Elizabeth. "C'mon baby girl... Don't do this to me. Mommy has to go to her boyfriend..." I told her as I was trying to make her open her mouth.
Elizabeth hit the spoon with her hand and the cream fell to the floor. I sighed. "Oh, c'mon Elizabeth! You have to eat!" I shouted at her.
Then, I immediately regretted it, as I saw her eyes filling with tears. She started crying. I felt my heart breaking, watching my daughter crying like that. "No, no... Please baby girl... Don't do this to me..." I told her calmly as I lifted her and hugged her tight, trying to calm her down.
I suddenly heard someone knocking the door. I quickly went to my mother's bedroom and knocked the door.
"Come in!" I heard her saying. I opened the door and stormed in. "what happened?" My mother asked me surprised.
"Take her. Someone is outside." I explained her and exited her bedroom. I went to the kitchen and hid the bowl with the cream. I reached the door and opened it. I saw Andre waiting for me.
"Hey Andre! What brings you here?" I asked him casualy.
He looked down... "Um... I wanted to know how are you? Can I come in?" He asked me.
"Sure. Come in." He entered my house and I showed him the couch to sit.
"Thanks." He muttered. He sat on the couch and I sat next to him.
"So... Do you want anything to drink?" I asked him politely.
"Nope. I'm good." He replied quickly. "You know..." He started. I looked at him curiously. His eyes met mine and he took a deep breath. "Something bothers me. I'm pretty upset about it." He chocked out.
I raised my pierced eyebrow. "What bothers you?"
"It's just... You have changed a little after your trip to Europe. You look like you're hiding something... And..." He paused. "And... Beck thinks you don't tell him the truth." He muttered.
"Wait. What? Does Beck think I'm cheating on him? That's why you're here? Oh my God! Andre!" I exclaimed angrily. I couldn't believe Beck thought I was cheating on him. I kept a huge secret for him, I loved him... And he thought I wasn't faithful... I shook my head.
"Please, Jade... Don't be like that. I didn't want to upset you..." He told me. He moved his hand to my shoulder to calm me down. I stood up.
"No! Okay? I can't stay calm! You don't know what I have done for Beck! I even-" I stopped suddenly, as I realized that I was about to reveal my secret. I looked down.
"You even... what?" Andre asked me curiously.
I cleared my throat. "Nothing..." I muttered, still looking at the floor.
"Look..." He said and took a step closer to me. "I don't think you were actually cheating on him. But he was upset and I wanted to be sure... I'm sorry..." He said calmly.
"Whatever." I muttered. "Do you want anything else?" I asked him bitterly.
Andre's POV:
I sighed. I didn't want to upset Jade... But I was sure she was hiding something... "No, Jade. I'm sorry again. I'm gonna leave now..." I muttered.
I headed to the door, when I heard a door opening upstairs. I heard footsteps coming downstairs and I noticed Jade's eyes widening. "What happened?" I asked her.
"Nothing." She chocked out. "Please leave..." She pleaded me. I sighed and opened the door.
"Jadey, Liz wants you." I heard Jade's mother saying as I exited the house. I froze. I shook my head suddenly and turned around. I entered the house again.
"Andre! I thought you were gone..." Jade stated.
"Yeah, but I heard something..." Jade looked at me emotionlessly. It was obvious she was trying hard to keep a calm expression. "Jade, who is Liz?" I asked her softly.
"She's... She's... Ugh..." She paused and looked down. "Please go, Andre..." She looked into my eyes.
"No... Who is she?" I asked her again. I noticed a tear at her right eye, which she wiped away quickly with her thumb. I felt sorry for her. But that girl was probably the baby I heard when I knocked her door.
"She's my daughter." She muttered. I felt my jaw dropping. "Happy now?" She asked me bitterly. I couldn't speak, I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe... She kept looking at me with blank eyes. Her gaze magnetized me.
Then, I remembered something... I found the strength to speak and I asked her calmly, "Jade what happened when you took Beck to his house two years ago? He was drunk, right? What happened in his RV?"
She looked at me. "I'm gonna tell you something, a secret." She stated silently. "It will be our little secret... Okay?" She said.
Well... A lot of secrets today, right?
