Beck tries to calm Jade down and finally manages to but I swear I don't know what's gotten into that boy. He has been all over her case lately.
"If you have to act one extreme or the other," Jade snapped, "Why don't you be on my side?"
"Babe," he said gently, "I am on your side"
"You haven't been acting it," she said.
I wanted to hug her. I wanted to tell her that I was with her. She wasn't alone. I wanted to yell at Beck and tell him how much of an idiot he was being. I wanted to tell her that I was right by her side and that I love her. '
"Okay maybe I've been a little hard on you," he admitted
A little, I thought to myself, and the devil is 'a little' evil.
"It's not like I'm allowed to play favorites," he said
"I'm not telling you to," Jade said, "But you don't have to come down on me like a ton of bricks either. You've been criticizing me a lot lately"
"I forgot that Ava died around this time," Beck said
