I was running to school the next day when I bumped into Beck.
"You were out of order yesterday. I want you to apologize to Cat." He said firmly. There was a harshness to his voice unlike the soft sweet voice he used to use. I nodded.
"I know! I was so mean. What has Cat ever done to me apart from this. If there's anyone I should be mad at it's you." I huffed. He nodded.
"Right. Well I'm glad we have sorted this out Jade. I want us to be friends." He smiled his gorgeous smile. I smiled back and nodded. Damn! How could I let him go? I was so stupid.
When i got to school i apologized to Cat and everything was okay again. I think that Beck and Cat decided not to kiss in front of me (which is fine for me) so i wouldn't freak out. But somewhere deep down inside me I was making a plan to get Beck back. And poor little Cat was the bait.
Beck's POV
Cat and I were walking along the beach hand in hand. The sun was shining above our heads and the water swirled around our feet. The soft wet sand stuck between our toes and Cat was telling me about a dream she had about grapes. It made me laugh. I felt like i was in heaven with an angel. A lovely sweet red haired angel.
We bought ice-cream and we sat on the towel Cat brought. Kids were splashing in the waves and adults were sunbathing. I was so happy. I got to show off my girlfriend to everyone on the beach. I got to kiss her in front of people and hold her hand. I loved it. She made me smile no matter what she did.
When we left the beach we went for a walk. It was lovely. We walked all around the park and we sat by the fountain. We looked at some carved stones and home made jewellery in stalls. We climbed a hill and when we reached the top we watched the beautiful sun set below the tree tops. It was the perfect day.
When we reached Cat's house she kissed me and jumped out of the car and skipped up the path. Oh how I love this girl I thought.
The next day was Monday. I slept in because my alarm clock broke. I shoved a new t-shirt on and my jeans and jumped into my car.
"NO!" I shouted. I made plans to meet Cat and walk to school with her! Stupid! I started the engine and I drove as fast as I could.
Then I saw Jade. She looked hurt. She was limping and her top was ripped and her hair was a mess.
"Jade?" I asked worried as I stopped the car beside her. She looked up.
"H-hi," she squeaked.
"Are you okay? You look hurt."
"Okay I left my car keys in my locker and I had to take my bike because my mum is working but a STUPID car came straight for me and knocked me off. My top ripped!" She wailed. I felt really sorry for her and I couldn't leave her to walk when she had been hit. I helped her into the car.
"Did they not stop?" I asked. She shook her head. I knew she wasn't acting this time.
Jade's POV
It all worked out better than I had planned. The car had hit me and left me wounded. I felt like smashing the car to pieces to show the driver just how much i hated him for doing this to me. But I had no choice but to walk (or limp). I got lucky because that very day Beck Oliver was late for school.
I climbed into his car and he buckled me in.
"I'm going to phone the school now," He said. "Then I'm going to take you to the hospital to get you checked over." I nodded. This was my chance. I rubbed it in as much as I could.
"Thanks Beck. I know I've been horri-ouch!-horrible but you still treat me well. Oww!" I mumbled.
"Sssh now. Your lip is bleeding. It's fine Jade honestly." He smiled. I whimpered.
When we got to the hospital the doctor came and checked me over. He wiped away the blood from my lip and put anti-septic on my grazes. I had fractured my arm so he put it in a tight badage. The nurse was flirting with Beck and it really annoyed me. Beck has a girl friend anyway! And his ex was sitting a meter away from him! Eventually she left after he started ignoring her.
"She liked you," I teased. He rolled his eyes and smiled.
The doctor put 2 stiches in my lip and a few on my arm. Beck took me back home but nobody was in. The doors were locked and I had no key.
"We can't get in," he sighed. "Do you want to have a rest in my RV? It's the only option I have."
"Oh. . . won't Cat think it's a bit dodgy?"
"Maybe but we don't have a choice. You have to rest."
Beck laid me on his bed and pulled the covers over my shoulders. He sat on the couch across the room from me and switched on the TV. He made it pretty obvious that he didn't want to talk but I wasn't giving up.
"So what have you been up to?" I questioned.
"Well I went to the beach with Cat and school."
"Ooooh nice. Did you have fun?" I smirked.
"Yes it was amazing."
"Good."
"Yup. Why are you asking this?" He laughed.
"Jeez can't I wonder?" I did my best innocent face. He looked like he felt really bad.
"Sorry. Now get some rest. Please." I agreed and slipped off into a deep sleep.
