I tried to make this longer by request, but it will most likely show you why I'm incapable of long chapters. I seem to rabble on and..well never mind you'll see what I mean. Oh also I might miss some 'a's in my stories because I don't have that key, I try to go through it but I will most likely miss some words. If you look back you'll see where.
Beck's POV
Making it out of the school proved difficult for us. We first stopped by my locker seeing as it was closest and then made our way up the stairs and down the left hallway toward Jade's. But of course nothing ever goes as planned for us.
All I wanted to do was quickly grab her books and begin the walk to my trailer. Preferably avoiding a run in with Mr. Rich Kid. But no of course fate had to just throw us to the sharks again. While walking to her locker, Mr. Sikowitz called me over to talk about a new acting technique, I believe it had something to do with cabbage but I once again couldn't bring myself to care. I watched as Jade walked to her locker but was stopped by that annoying butt-head, leaning on the her locker making it impossible for her to open it.
Now of course I would have gladly stepped in for her but the two things stopped me. First off, if I had backed her up she would most likely find some form of payback, thinking I don't believe she can handle these situations. And secondly Eli gets a lot worse when I try to stand between them.
Like one time in the beginning, when this all started, we didn't understand the strength of his feelings. And naturally me and Jade would hang out during and after school. Well, we were having a good time at the trailer park, me playing guitar, her singing.
It was so peaceful, no one bothered us. I especially liked it because no one from school would even think to come there to find us. We were dating at the time we just weren't exclusive yet and she was being basically stalked by the guys at school, especially Eli. It was said he could get any girl their, but Jade always said it was a self title whether she said it to comfort herself or me I never could understand.
Well while we were there the stupid kid some how found us. I got up to get us some sodas and I turn around to ask her what kind she wanted, and Bam, there he was pulling out every trick in the book. He brought in all the old cheesy lines.
He started with, "Hey cutie, how 'bout you and I hitting the town?" I would have laughed if this guy wasn't trying to steal my girl.
I was about to go back inside because though I want to be with her, the only one with her. There's no way I can't ask her, I mean if I do she'll run.
"Sorry, I don't date outside my species." Jade replied and I could here the laugh in her voice. Then she turned around showing me her beautiful smirk, "Hey Beck, you have the drinks?"
And that's when it happened I don't know why it happened, but he grabbed her and kissed her. My guess is that it was a last resort, like he thought she would find it nice instead of inappropriate or violating, like I'm guessing she thought it was. I'm sorry but you don't do that to a girl. Honestly I didn't try to hold myself back, I don't even care that this might sound bad. But I saw her and him abusing her, I just went crazy, one could say. I grab his back as she tried to push him away and threw him on the dusty ground. Before he could say anything I composed myself enough to realize I really didn't want to hurt this boy....Well I did but I shouldn't, me getting sent to Juvie sure as heck wouldn't help our situation. So I told the boy to take a walk and before I knew it he was fast walking away, guess I don't know my own strength.
Walking over to Jade a took her hand. "Are you okay?" I could feel her grasp my hand harder.
"So how about that drink?" Was all she had said
The sight of that kid brushing hair out of my girlfriend's face. I couldn't even pretend to be polite to my crazy teacher. I just had to get next to Jade as quick as possible.
Walking toward the two I can hear him speak yet another futile attempt to take her away from me. But this time instead of making a scene I just grab Jade's hand and shove the boy out of her way. While she quickly unlocked her locker and grabbed her books I stood beside her glaring at our unwanted guest. As soon as the locker was once again locked we walked out of the school our hands linked, walking close together in order to give each other comfort. This comfort I know we both need because though this guy is know threat it brings back those times he stood between us.
Once out of the school we began the two mile walk to my house. I expected her to have unclasped our hands by now but the grip held tight.
"So..lets play the comeback game." Jade suggested
This is one of those times I know she needs to laugh to get over whatever is plaguing her mind. I nod. We made this game up once we were exclusive and were tired of people hitting on each other. Well we never told each other but i know that's why I play. Now-a-days we just use Jade for comebacks in the game. This is either because she has better comebacks or that now after two years together we really only need to worry about Eli.
Looking her in the eye I put on my best cheesy smile and in an overly smooth voice asked, "Haven't I seen you someplace before?"
Smirking with laughter in her eyes she replied quickly, "Yep, that's why I don't go their anymore."
Feigning a sad expression I tried once again, "I'd go through anything for you." This time moving my arms dramatically.
Laughing as I almost trip she replies coolly, "Alright, Let's start with your bank account."
This one also made me laugh. "Good one. Hmmmm...I would go to the end of the world for you."
Thinking for a slight moment she spoke again, "Yes but would you stay there?"
Smiling we reached the trailer and set up the 'porch'. I grabbed a two folding chairs and a folding table setting them up as she grabbed a few sodas and the fan from our hallway closet.
Once we were all set up we began our homework until dad got home.
At six the sun was still out and we saw dad's car coming up the dirt path. I could see Jade smile as he got out of our dusty pick up truck.
"How's my favorite daughter-in-law." Were the first words dad said as he hugged Jade.
Though this would seem strange to all the kids (and teachers) at school Jade is actually a good person. Dad even acts like her dad would. Every time we go on a date he tells me to treat her right and when I bring her back to say good bye to him he always asks her if I treat her good.
I know to most people their bond would be a little creepy but to us it helps. Since Jade spends so much time here shes become a part of our family. We all re pretty messed up but some how we fit together. Actually sometimes me and Jade are like dad's parents. After mom left dad got lonely. He was still their for me as always, but Jade and I could tell he was missing something. Instead of going on dates Friday nights, a lot of times we find ourselves helping dad get dressed and evaluating his dates. Its actually amusing and neither of us mind either way were together and plus its fun questioning adults.
Once dad released Jade he patted me on the back and said, "Hey, Beck."
"Hey. Jade's needs to stay here, is that alright?" I knew it would be but Jade was still nervous about this part so I figured I'd ask.
"Of course." He turned toward Jade. "You know your always welcome, no questions asked." He finished both of them smiling. "Alright, so since it's Friday whose gonna help turn this" He gestures to himself making a scary face, "into something presentable." He finished smiling
"Hm..Where are you going this time?" Jade asked
"I figure probably dinner at the restaurant we went to last week and after that I'll probably wing it."
"Someone likes this girl." Jade said motioning for dad to fallow her into the trailer.
Standing in the kitchen I wait as Jade hands dad some clothes and comes to stand with me while we wait for him to finish showering and changing. Walking back out onto the makeshift porch we wait for his date to arrive. Though it may seem in bad taste to have his date meet him at our house it comforts him to have us interview the lucky lady. We heard the water turn off right before we saw a silver car come into our drive. Stepping out was a woman round dad's age, with reasonable clothing on and shoes that were stylish but still proved to let her be able to walk. These are the first things we both look for. We've seen tons of girls come here with cloths so short they seemed to be evaporating. A few have even tripped on their way to our sitting area. But this one walks calmly.
"Hi, I'm Melissa Henson. Are you Nick's son?"
I nod. "Hey. I'm Beck and this is my girlfriend Jade." I kindly said gesturing to Jade sitting beside me in a fold-up chair.
Jade looked up and smiled at the new comer. "Hello. Would you like to sit down. He should be finished in a little while." She finished pointing the woman to the chair beside her.
Melissa smiled and walked with the air of kindness toward the chair.
"So what do you do?" I ask trying to be casual but this must be awkward for her, and their is really no smooth way to interrogate someone.
"I'm a factory evaluator. Not the best job but you get paid." Melissa said smiling
Looking at Jade I silently passed the torch to her. "So..Do you have any kids?"
"No. Your sure he's almost done, right?" This is pretty cool were intimidating a forty year-old.
Before I could answer, and continue the questioning, I heard the squeak of our old door and dad's voice telling Melissa he's sorry for keeping her waiting.
"It's alright. It was kind of cool being on the other side of the interrogation." She said laughing and standing up.
"Have fun you two?" I said as they began walking toward the car.
"We won't wait up but if your not home by twelve there may be a search." Jade reminded
Laughing I yelled to the retreating couple, "She's serious, remember that time I was sick at home, dad? She'll find you." Tht comment granted me a laugh from dad and surely a bruise from the friendly punch I just received from my lovely, Jade.
