It all started with a drunken night and teenage stupidity, but now what is it? Becktorade. Rated T. Tumblr request.

"I wanna know you inside out, I'll spend my life trying to figure out." I sang under my breath, leaning back against Jade's headboard. She'd turned on the radio before she went with Beck to shower, since I'd woken up before either of them I'd already showered. We were supposed to be taking Beck to the airport in an hour so he could fly up to Canada for his aunts wedding.

He was originally going to take Jade, but his family doesn't like her and she decided she didn't want to deal with them and she'd be fine spending a weekend with me. I was finally out of my grounding-two weeks after the fact. Mom went out and bought me a new phone to appease me after I walked into the house while she was busy with Gary on the couch-luckily they'd only gotten as far as taking off their shirts, but even that was too much for me.

I'd ungrounded myself and went to Cat's for the night after that. The next morning she handed me a customized purple pearPhone with a mustache on it. I'd thanked her and then disappeared upstairs where Jade was waiting.

I flipped the phone over in my hand and ran my thumb over the mustache. It was cute, I couldn't deny that, so I didn't mind that I was being bribed. I refused to sit on that section of the couch now, and made a big fit about it every time they were on the other section of the couch. I also always brought down my blanket so I never touched either couch. My mom got angry, but I'd react the same way no matter who she was getting it on with on the couch.

"Vega!" I blinked and looked toward Jade's bathroom, she was standing naked in the doorway dripping on the floor, "could you get us some towels? Ours…fell in." she grinned. I rolled my eyes and slid off her bed, heading up the stairs to the utility closet; I grabbed two towels and slipped back downstairs, handing Jade the towels.

"Thanks, babe." Beck called. I looked past Jade and slimed at him, noticing the curtain rod lying in the bottom of the tub. I looked at Jade and she smirked, leaned forward to peck my cheek and closed the bathroom door. I wasn't sure how I'd missed the surely loud bang of the curtain rod falling down, but I didn't care.

"Beauty in the water, angel on the beach, oceans daughter, I thought love was outta reach." I sang, swinging my hips to the beat as I checked theSlap for updates. I laughed at Jade's status about needing a new shower curtain and at Beck's post about needing some ice for his knee. Those idiots were always hurting themselves in the shower. I refused to use Jade's shower, Beck's was tiny enough that you couldn't fall and mine had a hand rail and those no slip stickers on the bottom. Jade's only had the curtain to grab onto and clearly even that wasn't stable.

"Hurry up!" I yelled, checking the time, "we've got to leave in twenty minutes!"

Soon they were out and dressed, grabbing Beck's bags to take up to the car. I had to laugh. We were all in dark jeans and maroon shirts. I was in my Gryffindor shirt, Jade was in a shirt for some obscure band and Beck had a plain shirt. I glanced at our shoes, Beck and Jade were in combat boots and I was in converse, so close to all of us becoming a matched set.

"Come on, Vega. Pull your weight." She tossed one of Beck's bags at me; I caught it easily, huffing in agitation before I followed them up the stairs. We packed Jade's trunk and I slid into the backseat. When we reach the airport I lean up and give Beck a kiss goodbye before he gets out with Jade, who helps him unload his bags and wishes him goodbye too. I don't bother moving into the front seat, it's too much work and the ride back to Jade's is only half an hour.

When we got to Jade's house we settled down in her room and watched a few movies, laughing at the horrible acting and munching on day old popcorn. Then her mother came home. Beck and I generally avoided the devil woman, opting to climb out Jade's basement window before we would face her. As soon as I heard her she was screaming at Jade about some mess upstairs. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was since we only go upstairs to leave or come down here.

"Go ahead out the window; I'll meet you at my car." She gave me a quick kiss before stomping up the stairs.

I found my shoes and tossed them out the window, followed by my bag and then I stood on her bed and boosted myself up, dragging myself through the small opening and slipping out, I reached back in and pulled the window closed, careful not to get my fingers caught this time.

Brushing the dirt off of my shirt I stood up and grabbed my things, following the stone path through Jade's backyard. I tossed my bag over the wood fence that no longer opened, used two of the cinder blocks Beck and I placed there for climbing, and hopped up and over the fence, landing ungracefully on my butt on the other side.

I brushed the dirt from my jeans and picked up my bag once more, heading over to Jade's car. She stomped out screaming back at her mother three minutes later and we got into her car, "so wanna go get some lunch? Cat just called looking for something to do."

"Sure, where are we going?" I agreed.

"The pizzeria that she always makes us eat at. She says Andre and Robbie are with her." I nod my head. I hadn't talked to Andre outside of school since we went to the mall after her dropped by Beck's RV last time I was there. He lifted an eyebrow in question at me through the window when I stepped out of Jade's car. I lifted my shoulder slowly in response and walked past, holding the door open for Jade before I followed her in. Jade made me slide into the booth next to Robbie and then slid in next to me.

"I ordered two pepperoni and sausage pizzas for us." Cat told us when we sat down grinning happily, "and I was wondering if you guys wanted to come with us to the beach."

"I'd love to Cat-." Jade kicks me under the table, "but I've got to go home and clean before we have another family dinner." I kick Jade back roughly and lean on the table, "maybe another time?"

"Okay." Cat bubbles, turning to Robbie to ask about some math homework, Andre turns his eyes on me like he's studying me. It's unnerving. I turn from him to inspect my fingernails but he continues to stare.

"I'm going pee." Jade announced. She stood up and walked away.

"So hanging out with Jade now?" Andre asks.

"We are friends, you know, friends tend to hang out with each other." I point out, "why does it matter?"

"Well you've been looking pretty cozy with Beck lately." He changed the subject, I didn't like where this was heading.

"Are you trying to say something, Andre?" I lift my eyebrow in question.

"I'm saying Jade is the last girl you want to cross. It's bad enough your with someone else's boyfriend, but Jade's?" I narrow my eyes at him.

"Excuse me?" I growled.

"I know you're sleeping with him. It's a really horrible thing of you to do." I stand up, resting my hands on the table as I leaned toward him narrowing my eyes at him, he visibly jumped and pressed himself back away from me.

"You don't know, anything, Andre. And I don't like you accusing me of going behind my friends back to be with her boyfriend. I'm not that girl. And Beck's not that guy, how could you say that about your friend?" he gives me a flat look, but I can see he's almost scared of me.

"Apparently you are, what are you planning on doing with Jade finds out? I'm sure she'll just love it when she learns you're fucking her boyfriend." I grabbed the nearest glass and threw it into his face, tossing the plastic cup at him afterwards a little harder than I should have.

"Don't assume things, Andre. Makes you look like an ass." I slipped away from the booth and walked away, anger boiling in my veins. I was about two blocks away when Jade's car rolled up next to me. I jerked the door open and dropped inside, pulling it shut behind me. She didn't say anything, but she reached over and massaged my thigh silently.

She went through the McDonalds drive thru and then drove us to my house. My mom was out somewhere and Trina's car passed us on the way to our driveway. I stepped out and marched up to the front door, jamming my key into the lock and twisting it, jerking open the door and holding it open for Jade to pass through with our food before I pulled it shut and locked it.

"So what did Andre do to deserve a cup of soda in the face?" she asked casually, flopping onto the couch.

"He accused me of sleeping with Beck behind your back." I frowned, leaning back against my blanket on the good couch, "he made it sound like I was only your friend to sleep with Beck-and in front of Robbie and Cat!"

Jade handed me a burger and some fries and turned on the TV. I tore into my burger angrily while we watched Castle. When we finished eating I cleared away our garbage and lay down on the couch with my head in Jade's lap. She ran her fingers through my hair until I was calmed down completely and I sat back up beside her, twisting my fingers into hers.

"We should go out to dinner, later." Jade tells me, she turns off the TV and turns to me, cupping my face in her hand she leaned in and kissed me briefly and then stood up dragging me with her up the stairs.

We stumbled into my bedroom, her hands on the hem of my shirt and my fingers working on the button of her jeans. She pulled my shirt off and pushed me down onto my bed while I undid her zipper and she kicked her jeans off. I would never get tired of her skin on mine, of her lips kissing every inch of me, of the fire she lit in the deepest part of my belly.

"Tori?" I sat up quickly, grabbing my sheets and pulling them up my chest. Jade, who had been lounging carelessly next to me texting, completely naked, hopped up and stumbled around my room, shimming into her jeans.

I rolled out of my bed and grabbed my underwear, pulling them on and yanking a shirt over my head, I tripped up but managed to grab a pair of shorts from my dresser, pulling them on as I stood, reaching for the door knob. Jade yanked her shirt down over her head and smoothed her curls. I ran hand through my hair and then pulled the door open, "yeah mom?"

She was standing by the stairs and started coming toward me, "you here alone, honey?"

"Nope, Jade's here." I turned my head as she tossed something underneath my bed and flipped the sheets back up over my pillows. I pushed the door open, "what's up?"

"Gary and I were going to go out to a movie, he wanted to see if you'd like to come-."

"Nope." I answered bluntly, "Jade and I are going to hang out here, watch a few movies. Where's Trina?"

"She's at Monica's working on a play. Has she mentioned when it is? She spends an awful lot of time preparing for it." My mom sounded concerned, like she was worried Trina was lying to her about where she was.

"It's really nothing big, just our last grade of the year. Sikowitz let her have the script early so she'd leave him alone." I lied easily, "I'm sure when we get closer to the end of the year we'll be able to tell you when it is. Have fun at your movie."

"You two have fun, lock the doors, I'll be home in the morning." I nod silently and watch her head back down the stairs; Jade comes up behind me and puts her arms around my waist, resting her chin on my shoulder.

"So what kinda 'fun' should we have?" she asks, slipping her fingers under my shirt to tickle my stomach.

"The kind of fun we can have with pants on. Not really in the mood." I tipped my head against the door way and she kissed my neck softly before she stepped away.

"Well in that case put on some shoes and brush your hair. We're going out." I dragged on my shoes, put on my bra, and ran a brush through my hair. I braided the top layer back and then followed her down the stairs to her car. She turned up her radio as loud as she could and sang loudly and off key, prodding my thigh occasionally until I started to sing along with her.

When we stopped it was at a PuttPutt Golf place. Jade dragged me inside and paid for us to golf and for us to feed the gators they kept. Since there were a lot of people golfing we took our time feeding the gators who were plump but still very energetic. When it was our turn I went first and did absolutely terrible. Jade laughed and happily took her swing. She got it with three strokes. I gave up after six when she finally took pity on me.

By the last hole I'd given up on trying to make it and started seeing how funny I'd be able to swing and still do decent, and we were laughing like crazy on the way to return our clubs. I got a Coca-Cola Icee and she got blue raspberry at the check out and then we walked back out to her car. She drove us to a near by park and we sat down near a lake and watched the ducks swim.

"So, what are we doing next, Jade?" I asked, sipping the last of my icy. She looked over at me and frowned.

"Well I have these friends who are doing a show tonight, but I am not taking you anywhere dressed like that." I glanced down at the pink tank top and jean shorts and frowned at her, "we can head over to your place and find you something better to wear. Besides it's supposed to get cold tonight."

Finding me something better to wear ended up taking a lot longer than we thought, and three pairs of jeans later I'd managed to get her to agree to sit on her hands, "this is unnecessary."

"If taking off my jeans took half an hour, I'm not spending another thirty minutes trying to change my shirt. Sit and stay." I point at her and she grins at me, pointedly sitting on her hands and crossing her legs. I rolled my eyes and pulled off my tank top, tossing it into my hamper. I dug through a few drawers and pulled out a black tank top, tugging it over my head.

"Mmm, perfect. Let's go." She grabbed me around the waist and kissed my neck, forcing me to walk downstairs.

"I need shoes, Jade." She pauses and groans, walking to my closet to grab a pair of heels and then she pushes me out of the house rudely. Back in her car she tosses me the shoes. I slip them on my feet and flip down her visor, undoing the braid and spinning my hair around my fingers; we drove until 6 and pulled up at the fair grounds. People were milling about outside the gates and Jade dragged me straight up to the gates.

Everyone started screaming and she turned to them and yelled something back at them and pulled me to the security guard, "can I help you ladies?" Jade looked at her phone and smiled, turning it toward him he read whatever it was and stepped aside letting us both through the small gate.

There were a few people already inside, "so basically I've lived next to these guys for years, and they invite me to all their shows. They're pretty good, and after a beer or two, they're great." she buys us drinks and we keep talking toward the stage, "so I pretty much always get free concerts and fun things to do on the weekends. Dated the lead singer for a bit, we stayed friends when he found someone new."

On the stage a band of three guys and a girl were practicing, Jade smiled at the lead singer and he nodded back at her while belting out lyrics to a song Jade seemed to know. I sipped the beer she gave me, it was pretty gross, luke warm and flat but it was better than nothing. Jade found us a nice spot to stand as the people started to pour in.

I'd never been to a concert like this, no seats, just people mingling about listening to music, pushed up against each other. Jade stood behind me, one arm wrapped around my waist. Everyone around us knew the words except for me; Jade sang them into my ear in a low rough voice that made my stomach twist in the most delightful way. The later it got the colder it got.

"Here." Jade pulled off her jacket and handed it to me. I slipped on the leather jacket and snuggled against Jade's chest, the jacket was nice and warm already. She wrapped one arm around me again; she'd been smart enough to wear long sleeves. I finished my forth beer and they were about two songs away from finishing their set.

"You wanna get out of here before the crowds?" Jade asked, yelling into my ear, "We can head to a diner get something to eat."

"You sure?" I yelled back, tipping my head around to look at her. She nodded and tightened her grip around my waist, dragging and pushing me through the crowd until we found our way to the gates, the security guard halted us.

"No getting back in once you've left." He warned.

"Yep. We're good." Jade confirmed. The guy opened the gate and let us out, we found Jade's car and she magically maneuvered out of the tight parallel park, something I'm not sure how she managed to do.

"You sure you can drive, Jade?"

"I've had two beers." Jade commented, "over an hour ago." She pulled out of the lot back onto the highway. I rolled my eyes and pulled out my phone, scrolling through my messages.

From: Andre

They're going to hurt you.

I read the text message out loud under my breath, and quickly replied with a very eloquent 'what'. I didn't have to wait long to get a message back from him.

From: Andre

Jade and Beck, they're just using you. I don't know what for, but they're going to hurt you

To: Andre

I think you need to mind your own business. I get you're trying to look out for me, but after lunch today I don't much care for any of your damn advice.

I shut my phone off and threw it on the floor, crossing my legs over each other. Jade looked over at me and turned the radio up, reaching over and patting my thigh softly. I took her hand and rested my head back against the seat rest.

"No, no. No sad faces in my presence. Where do you want to go for dinner?" she squeezed my hand and slightly dug her nails into my palm, I lifted my head and glared at her, she grinned at me, "I know the perfect place. Come on, sad sack." she pulled off the highway into the parking lot of a small diner. I picked up my phone and slipped it into my pocket, following her up to the building.

We sit in a red and white booth near a large window, a woman hands us two menus and asks for our drink orders before disappearing. I stare at the menu blankly, I'm not really all that hungry, I just want to crawl under my covers and never come back out, but I know Jade is trying to help and I know I need to eat, so I settle on a plain burger and fries and close the menu, setting it down to find Jade staring at me.

"Maybe I should just punch Andre in the face. He needs to mind his own damn business instead of judging and putting down his best friend." She growled, her voice was angry but her expression soft with concern. When we finished dinner she drove us back to my house and locked the door behind me, trailing me up the stairs to my bedroom. We kicked off our shoes and shimmied out of our jeans before Jade pulled me into my bed and wrapped her arms around my back, holding me securely against her chest. While I laid against her she called Beck and we talked to him for awhile.

She shared Jade's opinion about Andre and said reassuring things I'd probably care more about after getting some sleep, and thirty minutes later with Jade's voice vibrating through my body I fell asleep, the smell of jasmine filling my nose. It was soon going to become my favorite smell.
