Jades POV.
Beck dropped me off at my house. I felt like I just needed to be alone. And he respected that. After he dropped me off I went straight up the stairs to my room. That's when I broke down. Too many thoughts rushed through my head. "How am I going to get this money? What if I have to tell my parents? What if I can t pay will I have to go to court? Will Beck stay with me?" I calmed down a little when I heard my mom come in. I liked staying with her a lot more that my dad and his new wife. My mom got me. Well sort of, she could at least respect my dreams even if she did not believe them. Unlike my father she is not completely judgmental she approves of my choices well except for getting my nose and eyebrow pierced. (After the uncial shock she started to like it, release that it was who I was.) I sat on my bed and slowly started to drift into a sleep. I heard my mom come in and check on me, something my father would never do. Hours later I woke up looked at the clock and it was 7:00 Pm. I went down into the kitchen. Mom was in there.
"Hi Jade, nice to see that your awake." She said in a comforting tone.
"Yeah sorry I just had a really long stressful day."
"Something to do with Beck?"
"No! Why would you think that?" I got a little bit defensive.
"No reason just you are normally with him until dinner, it's nice to see you home for once." She laughed. "So anything you wanna talk about, perhaps why your day was so stressful?"
"No not really, I'm fine mom just some stuff at school no big deal." I lied I hated lying to her.
"Okay." She looked at me seeing right through my fake statement.
"So what is for dinner?" I asked changing the subject.
"Salad I did not have time to go to the Market so I used what we had in the house. That ok with you?"
"Yeah of course that's fine with me I love salad!" I said taking a bowl out of the cabinet. I sat down at the table and waited for mom to bring the food over. I turned on my Pandora radio to my RENT station. Mom came over with the food and she sat down we talked until we were done. Never once did I bring up the incident. It was eating me away.
…
When I got back to my room I looked at my phone.
One new text
From Beck: hey when I was driving home I found this flyer on the street by my house I did some research on it and I think it may be able to help with your little problem txt me back as soon as you can—Love YOU! :)
A smile came across my face maybe there is hope.
To Beck: OMG really this is great news! Can you show it to me tom. In school?
From Beck: Yes I can show you in school I will pick you up early and look at it then ok babe? I gtg thou night…
To Beck: night I Love You… and beck thanks…like a lot you don't know how much this means to me.
From Beck: anything for you Jade anything.
With that I turned off my phone and fell asleep with a smile on my face.
…
My alarm went off and I got out of bed as fast as I possibly could and got ready. I ran down the stairs and in to the kitchen to grab some food before I left, my mom was no where to be found she must have left. As I gazed over the counter I saw a little yellow sticky note on it that read. Had to leave early I'm really sorry I hope Beck can give you a ride to school today if not I no you will find a way ;) there is no food in the fridge I have to go shopping so just eat an apple or get something at school. Love you have a great and unstressful day. Luv mom.
I walked over to the fridge. Mom was right no food; I went to the cabinet no food. Just gunna have to get something on the way. I waited for Beck to get to my house.
When I heard his car horn honk I grabbed my gears of war bag and bolted out the front door. I got in the passenger seat and he handed me the flyer he had found. I read it over twice very carefully. It said
Are you a singer songwriter or dancer well if you are you have the chance to win 3 prizes first place gets $1000 second place $500 and third $250 just sign up at the grove and you could be the luck winner. Visit .com for more info.
I looked at him with wide eyes.
"Its perfect right?" Beck sad with a huge confident smile,
"Yeah, it is."
"I went to the website last night and looked up all the rules and stuff."
"Ok so they are?"
"Well you can do a duet or solo for songs and can be a bigger group if you are dancing. And also you can do a song and a dance with a whole group to win all the prizes together."
"How many people have to be in the big group to win all the prizes?"
"At least 6."
"well should we get cat André Tori and Robbie to help out and do the big group or have you and me do a duet Robbie cat do a duet and André and Tori do a duet. And see if we can win that way?"
"I don't know I think we should all talk it over."
"Ok then lets go." And with that we were off to school.
