Chapter 4: Car, Rain and Fire
I figured out a plot XD Thanks to reviewer EmptyPepsiBottle
Jade's POV
"Hi Beck!" Trina exclaims happily, forcing his hand off of mine and latching it to hers. I stop dead in my tracks, glaring at Trina in the most threatening way possible.
"Back the hell up!" I yell towards her, gripping her wrist from Beck's hand and pushing her to the ground. After Beck grabs his books from his locker, he faces Trina.
"Why have you been telling people I dumped Jade for you?" He questions. I cross my arms over my chest and stand next to him. I can feel my face turning a deep red.
"Uh, because you did," Trina says in a duh tone, smiling. Beck's face twists into confusion.
"Uh, no I didn't. You spread that rumor all over TheSlap last night." A few guys walked by and suddenly Trina kisses Beck right in front of me. Oh hell no.
"You bit my lip," Beck says, bringing his fingers to his lips.
"I tried to bite both," Trina answers before turning to me. I'm fuming. All I see is red as I chase after her, Beck right behind us. Trina turns, runs up the steps and I follow her. We pass Andre on the way up.
"Help me!" Beck tells him. All I see is Andre and Beck running after us. I lose sight of Trina for just a second and then all of the sudden she's completely gone. I groan loudly, but I keep running and find the library, and notice Andre and Beck stopped following me. I smirk, remembering the secret passageway to the janitor's closet, and open it, successfully hearing Trina panicking to Tori, Andre and Beck.
"You do kinda deserve this!" Tori shouts at her sister.
"No I don't!" Trina fights back.
"You told everyone I broke up with my girlfriend for you! I wouldn't do that!" Beck yells at her, I smirk as I see Trina right under me. I jump down, screaming and easily bringing Trina to the ground. She screams when I pull my scissors out of my boot, but Beck manages to yank me off of her and clutches onto my waist, not daring to let go.
"You should've seen that coming," Andre shrugs to Trina, smiling.
"She was gonna kill me!" Trina breathes heavily, fixing her hair. I'm breathing heavy to, but mostly in anger. I can feel my cheeks getting puffy as I glare daggers at her.
"You're damn right I was gonna kill you!" I scream at her, trying to squirm out of Beck's arms. But he only holds me with more force.
"I'll kill you back!" Trina exclaims.
"How would you kill her if you were already dead?!" Tori yells at her.
"I would kill her first!" Trina yells back.
"You wanna test that theory?!" I scream, finally finding a way out of Beck's grasp and pulling my scissors back out of my boot, stepping closer to Trina. She backs up fearfully.
"Uh-uh," Beck says, pulling me back in his arms.
"All I did was kiss him!" Trina defends herself.
"Yeah, with my girlfriend right next to me that you already ticked off because you said I broke up with her!" Beck yells at her.
"Whatever." Trina rolls her eyes. Then she walks up right next to my ear and whispers, "I'll get him, West. And you won't be able to do anything about it." She smirks and walks out of the closet, her heels clicking against the floor. I try to squirm out of Beck's arms again, but he doesn't let go.
"Hey, while we're all in here, Jade can you drive Cat and I her Mona Patterson's house?" Tori questions.
"NO!" I yell at her.
"But Cat is all depressed because her favorite actress passed away last night and she really wants to go-"
"I'm in," I interrupt her. Tori looks at me confused. "If she just dies last night, then her spirit is still lingering and that means I can breathe in the fumes." Everyone throws me weird looks, but I ignore them and smirk.
~At Beck's RV~
"So you're telling me that you kissed Trina all because of a plan?" I ask Beck.
"Yes," he answers. "But it's not like that. She thinks I like her and I'm having a date with her at her house and she's cooking chicken. But Andre is gonna show up and then we're gonna act like we're fighting over her and then Robbie is gonna come in with flowers and then we're all gonna attack each other while she goes and gets her dad to separate us, but in the process we're gonna pull puppets out and do a play behind the couch to teach her a lesson about lying." He finally stops rambling.
"Um, kay?" I say before crawling out of his arms and going to get my purse.
"Where are you going?" Beck asks me, standing up too.
"I have to go drive in Cat's brother's car with little miss perfect and a fat hamster." I roll my eyes.
"A fat hamster?" Beck questions.
"Apparently they're doing some stupid project that they've been slacking on and it's due tomorrow," I answer. "But I'll be back here after Cat does her stupid thanks for this dead person."
"Have fun," he says sarcastically.
"Don't have too much fun," I snap at him.
"You act like I like Trina," he says, stepping closer to me. "But I love you." He leans in and kisses me, which I return. I wrap my arms around his neck and his wrap around my waist. We're rudely interrupted by my phone ringing. I groan before pulling away and looking down at my screen.
Vega
Her profile picture from TheSlap was behind it. I press the green button and hold my phone to my ear.
"What Vega?" I snap.
"Where are you?!" She screams. I roll my eyes.
"I was in the middle of saying goodbye to my boyfriend!" I sneer.
"Just hurry up!" She snaps.
"And just who do you think you're talking to? Because I will gladly stay here and makeout with Beck while-"
Beck snatches the phone from me. "She's coming, Tori." He hangs up and hands me back my phone. I glare at him after he gives me a quick peck on the lips.
"You better go," he smiles. I smile back before opening his door and walking out to Tori and Cat in her brother's car.
"Hey," Beck says from his doorway. I toss my head over my shoulder. "Be careful. I love you."
"I will. Love you too," I smile.
"Awe!" Cat and Tori chorus from the car. I turn and glare at them.
"NO!" I yell at them. "And if you mention this at any time in the car, I swear I'll take both of your head and-"
"Jade," Beck scolds, making me stop my threat. I walk to the driver's side and climb in, pulling out of Beck's driveway.
~In the car~
"San Diego?!" I exclaim, slamming my foot on the brake.
"Cat! That's two hours away!" Tori whines. I shoot her a glare.
"I think she knows how far it is," I snap at her.
"I was just saying its two hours away!" She snaps back.
"Listen Vega, I'm not in the mood for your crabby little self so I have no problem leaving you here on the side of the road," I sneer.
"Listen, West-"
"Vega!" I say, cutting her off.
"West!" She says back. I open my mouth to say something, but Cat stops us.
"You guys!" She yells. "Stop fighting! I'm not listening to it the whole way here!"
"Well you're not because I'm not driving this rolling chizz box all the way to San Diego," I tell at her. She puts her head in her hands and I can hear faint little cries coming from her mouth.
"Just drive the girl to San Diego," Tori groans.
"I'm not doing it with you in the car," I snap at her.
"Jade," Tori sighs. "I'll call Beck."
"Alright," I snap, starting the car again. After about an hour or so of singing some songs, Tori and Cat turn their attention back to the hamster.
"C'mon hamster! Run! Make electricity you fuzzy little beast!" Tori encourages the hamster.
"You act the thing can hear you," I snap at her.
"Why won't he run faster?" Cat asks.
"Because you bought us a fat hamster," Tori answers.
"He reminded me of Santa Clause," Cat says happily. "And according to my Pearpad, we should be there in about… 63 more miles."
"Good, we're over halfway there!" Tori exclaims. They talk to that fluffy fur ball in the cage and there stupid robot starts moving and lighting up. They scream and talk happily, much to my disliking. Suddenly, I feel a cold drop on my cheek and notice rain drops on the windshield.
"Uh, guys," I tell them. "I hate to rain on your parade, but it's raining on your parade."
"Yeah," Tori says. "It is raining."
"Way to state the obvious," I say in a stupid voice. She turns to glare at me and I smile. But my smile fades when it starts coming down harder and harder. Soon enough, all of us are soaked from head to toe and freezing cold. My hair sticks to my face while I try to see through the windshield and my fingers shake on the steering wheel.
"We've gotta pull over!" Tori yells over the rain.
"I can't pull over on the freeway! There's no place to stop!" I yell back.
"I'm getting wet!" Cat whines.
"Cat where's the switch to put the top up?!" I yell at her. She points below the radio.
"Right there!" She squeals. Tori tries to switch it, but nothing happens.
"It's not working!" Tori exclaims.
"I know!" Cat says. "It's broken!"
"CAT! I TOLD YOU WE SHOULDN'T HAVE DRIVEN HERE IN THIS ROLLING CHIZZ BOX!" I scream at her.
"When's the next exit?" Tori asks.
"Thirty more minutes! And that's at Mona Patterson's house!" Cat yells. We all groan. Tori flicks the switch for the windshield wipers, but they fling off behind us.
"WHAT?!" I exclaim, my hair sticking across my face.
"You've got to be kidding me," Tori groans. We finally reach Mona Patterson's home, and Cat does some stupid little thanks while I listen to the sound of my feet squishing.
"I thought you wanted to breathe in the fumes of a dead person?" Tori questions.
"Well, it's hard to enjoy it while my feet at soggy," I snap back at her. Cat starts crying and I push Tori to go finish for her. But Mona Patterson comes out and Cat gets all happy when it was just a show, but then the actress comes back and sprays us with a gigantic water gun. We race back to the car and rain starts pouring down again. I slam my foot on the gas and speed off, reaching the nearest gas station. We all get out and stare at the car while Tori tries to get the top up. We all help and it finally goes up, but nothing is on it.
"You having got to be wazzing me," I groan. Cat starts laughing about the topless car and Tori starts ranting about something, but I see a creepy clown behind her.
"Tori… Tori," I say, getting her attention.
"What?" She turns around and see the clown. I swallow, trying not to look scared.
"Can I have a ride to your house?" It asks all creepy like.
"Um, no," Tori answers. "We're going to work on our science project."
"When are you going to work on your science project?" It asks all creepy like again.
"You know… NOW!" Tori screams, running to the car and jumping in. Cat and I do the same, but when I try to turn the car on, nothing happens.
"We're out of gas?!" I exclaim, panicking.
"RUN!" Tori yells as the clown tries to get in the car. I jump over the door and run down the side of the street, the clown running after us.
"The car!" Cat says.
"Your brother's not even stable enough to drive a car!" I tell her. I pull out my phone and speed dial Beck. He answers on the first ring.
"Hey babe," he answers. "I'm still at Tori's house so-"
"HELP US!" I yell, interrupting him.
"What's wrong?" he questions, panicking. "Where are you?"
"San Diego!" I yell.
"San Diego?!" He exclaims. "That's two hours away!"
"I know genius!" I snap at him. "We're being chased by some lunatic clown, the car ran out of gas, we have no money and we're all wet and disgusting!"
"Andre, Robbie and I we'll be there as soon as we can. Try not to run around too much so I can see you," he answers before hanging up. I put my phone in my pocket and look behind me, seeing the clown struggling to keep up the pace.
"The boys are on the way!" I tell Tori and Cat. The clown finally loses us and we sit on a wet bench, out clothes and hair getting drenched in freezing cold rain. All of our teeth are chattering and I'm bundled up in a ball, freezing to death. It's been at least an hour and a half now. I feel like freaking dying.
"My toes will have to be amputated," Tori says. I begin to shiver violently and my thumbs shake wildly as I text Beck where we are. In about five minutes Andre's car skids right in front of us. You could only guess who was driving that fast: Beck. He literally jumps out of the car before it even stops. Robbie and Andre aren't much slower than him.
"Oh my God," Beck breathes, immediately taking his jacket off and draping it over my shoulders. Robbie does the same for Cat and Andre does it for Tori.
"Your lips are all blue," Robbie says to Tori, Cat and I.
"W-well no s-shit. We've been s-sitting out here f-for an hour a-and a half," I tell him, my teeth chattering as I speak.
"Our f-feet are f-full of w-water," Cat whimpers. "T-they're really c-cold."
"A-and Mona Patterson s-sprayed us with a w-water gun," Tori says. Beck scoops me up and carries me to the car. I bury my face in his shirt, the rain still furiously pouring down on us. He slides me in the backseat and he crawls in right next to me. I drape my shivering legs over his, pretty much hugging his legs. He wraps his arms around me and I nuzzle my face in his neck. I feel Andre turn the heat on full blast.
"So, what happened exactly?" Robbie asks. Tori, Cat and I explain it all to the boys, and then they finally speak up.
"Lunatic clown?" Beck asks.
"He chased us down the freeway!" Tori shrieks, quickly turning in her seat up front to look at Beck.
"My bra is soggy," Cat frowns, looking down at her chest.
"We were just sitting in the rain. Of course our bras our soggy," I snap at her.
"Mine isn't soggy anymore," Tori says defensively.
"Of course yours isn't, Tori; you barely even have boobs as is," I smirk. Everyone laughs while she glares at me and pouts in her seat. We finally pull up at the Vega house and pile inside, out of the rain.
"My bra isn't soggy anymore!" Cat exclaims happily. "Is yours, Jadey?"
"Yes Cat, it is," I sigh.
"That's whatcha get for having big boobs!" Tori smiles triumphantly.
"I'd rather have big boobs than no boobs," I snap at her. She looks down at the ground and I smirk.
"Why don't you all crash here for the night?" Tori suggests, rummaging through her cabinets for something to eat.
"I've got extra clothes for us in the car," Beck shrugs, turning to me.
"Alright," I give in. Beck goes out and grabs the pajamas while Andre and Robbie ransack their cars for clothes. Cat just borrows some clothes from Tori. Beck comes back in and hands me clean, comfy pajamas. I take them and change in the bathroom. I'm now wearing a black tank top, black yoga pants, one of Beck's flannel shirt and oh yeah a not-soggy bra. I walk out and go through Tori's crap in the kitchen, looking for something to eat. The boys are on the couch, flipping through channels.
"You know, this isn't your house," Trina says, coming down the steps.
"Trina," Tori groans. "Go away."
"I really wish you would just fall off the edge of the Earth," I snap at Trina, Tori and Cat sitting on the counter watching us. Cat's phone is playing Turn Me On by Nicki Minaj.
"And I really wish Beck would just dump a bitch like you for me," Trina snaps back. That gets the boys' attention. They carefully walk in, watching a war about to explode.
"You really wanna go there again?" I prompt, stepping closer to her. "Once again, Beck knows you're insane. Once again, he loves me. Once again, no one likes you."
"Yeah, okay," Trina rolls her eyes. "Who would honestly love a little freak show like you?"
"I think that would be Beck," I snap, narrowing my eyes at her.
"You don't know that," Trina sneers.
"I don't know that? He tells me every five seconds and you say you don't know that?!" I say, my voice rising with every word as anger builds up inside me.
"Trina, just go back-"
"Shut up," Trina barks at her sister, cutting her off.
"Look, they've been through hell and back in San Diego so if you could just-"
Andre stops as Trina grabs my shoulders and pushes me down on the cold ground. Beck and Cat turn to glare at Trina.
"Then she can go through it again," Trina says, referring to me. I jump to my feet and shove her to the nearest wall, holding my arm against her neck.
"Or maybe you should!" I yell at her. No one attempts to stop me this time. But Trina's not out of breath like she was at school in the janitor's closet. She shoves me to the ground, her fingers grasping my throat. But I biter down on her wrist, causing her to shriek and let go. I tackle her back to the ground, slapping her until she decides to fight back and slap the hell out of me on my cheek. I can feel it stinging, but she manages to get her feet under me and spring me off of her, causing me to fall back into the wall. Cat and Tori are standing now, holding Beck back from killing Trina. Trina comes back at me, but I find the strength to grab a fistful of her hair and yank it, causing her to fall to the ground. Her head bangs against the railing as she falls down and I think she passes out. But she wakes right back up, only holding her head and glaring at me before running up the steps, tripping from the dizziness.
"Beck, your girlfriend has some serious anger problems!" Trina yells before slamming a door. I start to make my way up the stairs, but Beck pulls me back.
"You okay?" He asks, looking at my cheek.
"I swear I'll kill her one day," I vow, leaning into Beck.
Damn… this was extremely long. But I couldn't stop freaking typing! I got into it and this took a whole different turn than I expected it to! :) I like it, though and I hope you do too!
