THE LOST TREASURE IV
Hellooo, long time no see. I'm sorry I couldn't finish it sooner, but here's the big news: this is most probably the last chapter of my lovely fanfiction. :( I will be starting on a VERY exciting Cabbie fanfiction after this, so keep your eyes out for it! :D
Well, let's begin, shall we?
Daphne's blonde hair, big eyes and pearly white teeth made her look so much like a Barbie doll, even Jade found it frightening.
Jade just sat on the sofa and watched everyone dance. Cat and Robbie were dancing in the corner, André and Tori were eating the remaining sushi and Beck and Daphne…well, it's pretty obvious what they were doing.
Jade got up from the sofa and went to get herself a drink. A drink's gonna help, she thought.
Turns out, Beck wanted a drink too.
"Hi, Jade," Beck said, hesitating a little bit. "I noticed that you haven't said 'hi' to me."
Jade tried to glare at Beck, but she couldn't help smile a little bit. She tried to be sarcastic. "Well, Beck, I just thought you were having so much fun with your girly friend out there and I didn't want to interrupt. I thought you'd grown up. Wouldn't you rather sit there and kiss her? Wouldn't you, Beck?"
Beck blushed. "I…"
"Speechless, are you? Jade got your tongue?" Jade asked. "Come, let me meet her myself."
Before Beck could say anything, Jade was walking up to Daphne. Daphne was smiling broadly and flirting with André.
"Wow," she laughed. "You've done so many awesome things, André."
"Whoa," Jade said, stopping in her tracks. Beck stopped behind her.
"What's wrong?" Beck asked.
"Seems like your lovely little friend works fast," Jade smirked.
Beck looked at Daphne in shock. Daphne was talking to André in a very flirty voice and André looked pretty uneasy. André caught sight of Jade, who was still smirking, and Beck, who was still staring at the scene with a shocked expression on his face. André made a face, which conveyed his message almost immediately. At least, Jade and Beck understood the meaning almost immediately.
Unfortunately, Daphne noticed the look on André's face, and turned around immediately to see Beck, Jade and Cat staring at her (Cat had decided she wanted to irritate Jade, and then started staring at Daphne and André along with them).
Daphne's face immediately changed from a bright, wide grin to a frowning, guilty face.
"Beck!" she said, frantically. "Beck, guess what? André can play the piano!"
"He knew that, gank," Jade snapped angrily. "Now explain what's going on."
"What-what's going…?" Daphne asked, looking worried. "What do you mean, going on?"
"You were just having a little…conversation," Jade said, "with our lovely friend André out there. Weren't you? Weren't you, Daphne?"
"Oh yeah," Daphne said, acting normal. "We were discussing our music tastes. He promised to play the piano for me. Right André?"
"I'm Cat," Cat giggled.
"Um…" Daphne looked at Cat, wondering what to say.
"Ignore her," Jade said angrily. "You were flirting with André, right?"
"Me? No way!" she spluttered, laughing.
Jade, Cat and Beck gave her the Look.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. It's true," Daphne sighed. "I don't love you. I just thought it'd be cool to date you, since you're not like me."
"Cool?" Jade sneered. "You date a person because you love him, not because you think he's cool. Well, that too."
Daphne's eyes welled up with tears. "I'm sorry Beck," she whispered. "I've betrayed you."
She ran out of the back door of Tori's house, sobbing.
"She's gone?" Tori asked, looking a little relieved.
"Yeah, she's definitely gone," Jade said, falling onto the couch, "which basically means that I'm going to be ruining this party now."
Robbie and André groaned, Beck laughed, and Tori, Jade and Cat shared a smile.
Jade had a good time for the rest of the party. There was no Daphne to enrage her, no kissing to make her feel left out or jealous, and even Cat didn't seem to bother her. For the first time in days, she was happy.
"Now that she's gone, let's party even harder!" Tori laughed. She called up Nozu to order more sushi. "Yeah, that'll be some more salmon…oh, and some California rolls…"
Jade got up from the couch to get another soda. Suddenly, she felt the urge to go outside and get some fresh air.
"Hey, Tori, can I go and get some fresh air?" Jade asked. Normally, she wouldn't have asked her what to do, but she didn't want them to think that she had randomly disappeared.
"Uh, just give me a second, please," Tori said to the person on the phone. Keeping it down, she said, "Sure, but…"
"Thanks," Jade said and walked out.
She sat outside for a while, watching the trees sway in the breeze. She sipped her soda.
"Wow," she said aloud. "That went well."
"What went well?"
Jade turned around. It was Beck, looking her in the eye and smiling.
"Oh, lookie there! Is that wittle Becky? Is that wittle Becky?" Jade teased.
"Very funny Jade," Beck laughed. "Very funny."
He sat down next to her. Jade shifted a little.
"You've been pretty subdued today. What's wrong with my Jade?" Beck smirked.
Jade turned sharply to look at him. "Your Jade? Since when was I yours? I am my own person, Beck! You can't control me."
"I'm not doing that, am I?" Beck asked softly.
"Yeah, but…listen," Jade said. "I was pretty annoyed during the party. That stupid Daphne just had to come, didn't she? And by arriving, she ruined my LIFE. It sucks to be me. I have to go around everyday, suffering all the hate and pain I receive—"
"I thought it was you who inflicted the pain," Beck grinned.
"Are you mocking me?" Jade asked. "It's not easy to watch you kiss Daphne."
Immediately Jade covered her mouth. Why did she have to ruin everything?
"I-I'm sorry Beck," she stammered. "That's not what I—"
Before she could finish her sentence, however, Beck's lips were already on hers. For that one moment, it felt like she was finally free. Like she was never her old self, and she was back to being with Beck, and they were in love again.
When they finally stopped, Jade stared into Beck's eyes. They were calm, and he smiled back at her as if she were the most beautiful thing on Earth. Like he had been lucky to find someone as wonderful as her. Like she was his most precious treasure.
"I love you Beck," Jade said.
"So do I," Beck said.
"You were my lost treasure," Jade whispered, "and now I've found you again."
Great, that's the end! Woo-hoo! Finally I don't have to be worried about this anymore. :D
So that be it, and I will most definitely write more. Goodbye and have a nice day! :3
