Chapter 4

Beck's POV

Krang…krang…krang…krang…

There goes my alarm clock.

Krang…krang…krang…krang…

I groaned and turned my alarm clock off.

I went back to sleep.

…

I got up from my bed and grab a cereal box from the cupboard. I ate my breakfast and take a glimpse on my PearPad. I clicked the 'memo' icon.

Auditions. Today at 8:00 AM. Don't be late.

Auditions! I totally forgot about that! I checked the time.

7:50 AM

And, I woke up that late!? Oh shit.

I hurriedly put the bowl of cereal in the sink and took a quick shower.

I just hope I'd make it in time.

Jade's POV

Where is he?

I scanned the whole crowd and… he's not there. It's already 9:10 in the morning and we're probably up next. Urgg. I hate him! After all that, he's just gonna leave me here.

"Hey, are you the next one to perform?"

I turned to look at a bubbly and cheerful red-headed girl. I gave her a sharp look.

"I don't know." I'm really annoyed at Beck right now. How am I supposed to perform today?

"Oh." She leaned forward to take a closer look at my eyebrows. "You have a piercing in your brows. Ahahaha," she said, giggling.

"Yeah, so?"

"I'm sorry," and she suddenly left without a word.

She's weird.

"Okay, next up is Jade West and Beck Oliver," the principal announced.

Beck, where are you!?

"Jade West and Beck Oliver?"

I snapped out and gathered courage to went up the stage.

I can do this without him. That's right, you work alone Jade. I don't need him.

And for some reason, I wanted to cry. Okay, why am I crying a lot lately? First, my dad, and now, him? Urgh.

"I—I am going to perform alone."

"But the one listed here—"

"I said, I'm going to perform alone." They all stared at me, looking confused at my sudden outrage.

"I—I'm sorry. Let's get started."

They nodded and I started acting.

I could do this alone.

I just revised Beck's script and it's gonna do perfectly.

"I'm alone. I'm always alone. In this world, I have no one to turn to. They're all the same. They only care of themselves…"

Why am I crying now?

"I've had enough of them…"

All this time, I lost. I lost to him. Why did I even trust him in the first place? Sometimes I wish that time will go back. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be crying right now. If it weren't for now, I would've rock this auditions. If it weren't for him…

….

…

…

…

"Sometimes, I wish that my true prince will come. Someone who will take me to different places I never have been to. A prince who—"

"Did somebody call a prince?"

Everyone turned to look at the man who said that from the Black Box Theater entrance.

"Beck!?" I didn't shout the word, I just mouthed it.

"Oh, my dear princess, I've been longing for this day that we will meet…"

….

…

"You came…" I half-smiled at him. I was feeling relieved.

..Wait, we're doing a scene right now. I just realized that.

"My prince, you're here."

"Yes, princess. I'm here. I will never leave you."

Somehow, I felt that what he said was true to his heart.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

After another 5 minutes of the play, we came to the part where the prince will leave for a battle.

"My dear princess, I am going to leave for a few weeks."

"What? Why?"

"I have to go to a battle," he solemnly said.

"But you prom—"

He put his index finger on my lips. "I'll be back. It's just for a few weeks."

"Promise?"

"I promise," he then held my right cheeks.

"Goodbye, my dear prince…"

"Goodbye."

He then left but…

before he left, he kissed me…

Beck, this isn't in the script!

I was so shocked but I just closed my eyes and kissed him back.

And the curtains closed.

I could hear the judges and the audiences applauding our performance.

Beck then parted his lips from mine.

"What was that for!?" I angrily said at him.

Although I liked it…

"I'm sorry."

I then looked at him… he's crying.

"I'm really sorry."

"Hey… it's alright," I said to him. I can't afford to be angry to him.

"I'm sorry," he said and hugged me tight.

I hugged him back.

I really wanted to scold him for being late. I really wanted to yell at him. I want to punch him in the face. I want to leave him right now. Well, I'm JADE WEST, right? I shouldn't be hugging him right now. I could just push him back and say, 'I hate you! You're the worse! You're stupid!' but instead…

"It's okay."

And kissed his lips.
