Jade stood outside Beck's door for four whole minutes until she let one tear fall.
Which happened to be right when Beck and Cat decided to open the door.
Jade sttod frozen for a minute, until a few more tears slid down her cheeks, and she ran.
Right back to the stone bridge.
Once there, she climbed up on the wall, and sat on it just like before. She looked down at the cool waters below her. Roxanne's sweatshirt had washed away, just like all the hope she had that Beck would stay with her. Now she was hoping Beck would come back.
But that meant making Cat unhappy.
But at this moment, Jade didn't care. Jade was furious at Cat, and Beck for the matter. Yet the small hope that he would come crawling back to her never died. Jade pictured Roxanne here with her, sitting on the wall beside her like the other night. Telling her it was irrational.
Yet Jade had never really been rational. Her fingers traced the words Roxanne scratched into the stone.
A permanent solution to a temporary problem.
"Jade!" Cat's worried voice sounded from behind her. "I'm so sorry! We were going to tell you-" She started, but stopped when she realized Jade didn't want to hear it.
"Get. The. Hell. Away from me,"
Cat's eyes flooded with tears. She didn't bother with the usual "What's that supposed to mean?" or anything else child-like, she just whimpered, then ran away crying.
"Jade!" Beck angrily yelled after Cat had rushed past him.
"What?" She exclaimed, probably angrier than ever. "This whole Vivian… Tori thing wasn't what I should have been worried about? I should have been more worried about you making a move on my BEST FRIEND?" She screeched, and Beck took a step back.
Jade clambered off the wall and took a step towards him, jabbing a finger into his chest. "Do you know what I go through? Do you know what I have to suffer? You think I'm so tough, only because you've never really seen me cry! THIS is the real Jade! THIS is what you've never seen before!" She screamed, jabbing her finger harder into her chest. Tears steadily streamed down her cheeks. "You think you know me so well! You think you see the side of me-" Jade was cut off when Beck scooped her into his arms and kissed her. Passionately. Meaningfully.
When Jade realized what was happening she shoved Beck off of herself, and bawled some more. "You're with Cat now! Not me! C-A-T! She's the one that likes you! I frikin' hate you!"
"Who's Cat?" Beck asked in a daze kind of voice. He then shook his head, snapping out of it. "Oh yeah, Cat…"
"Shut up. Just shut up and get away from me."
Beck looked hurt as he stumbled backwards. His expression grew angry. "You know what? Fuck you."
"Wouldn't you just love to? Or rather, love to fuck Cat!" Jade screamed after him.
Beck just shot her one last angry look before stomping away to his car. Not once did he turn to look at Jade, but her eyes were fixated on him the entire time.
Once he got in his car and slammed the door, Jade turned around, more tears rushing in.
This is not what she wanted! This was worse than what she was worried about!
She turned away from the bridge, and from all the memories of her previous self.
She turned away from frikin' "Bade."
She turned away from Beck and Jade.
As she walked further into the park, a small brick bench caught her eye. She shuffled over to it and plopped down. She held her head in her hands. Everything she knew was changing. Her world was spinning, her life changing. She was so caught up in her thoughts, she didn't even notice when an unfamiliar guy sat down next to her.
"Hey," He said.
Jade looked up, surprised to see another person on the bench beside her.
"Guys are jerks, aren't they?" He said, causing the smallest of all smiles to tug at the edges of her mouth. "We're rude, forgetful, lazy, sex-crazed… The list goes on and on. "
Jade was smiling now, having completely forgotten about Beck.
"I'm Travis. We go to Hollywood Arts together, I think. Jade, right?"
Jade nodded. Her tears had stopped flowing and she extended a hand. He took it and shook it, and then leaned back on the bench.
"Beck gotcha down?"
"How do you know who I date?"
Travis chuckled and shook his head.
"Everybody knows. Bade is like the 'it' couple of HA,"
"Not anymore," She mumbled.
Travis gasped. "What? You mean the Beck and Jade have called it quits? After two and a half wonderful years? My oh my, whatever shall I watch now?" Travis said dramatically.
A smile and a short laugh followed.
"How about the Cat and Beck?"
Travis look shocked. "Beck …And Cat?"
"I couldn't believe it either," She said looking down, her smile fading. "Out of all the girls in Hollywood, my boyfriend-er, ex-boyfriend-decides to cheat on me with my best friend. That only doubles the pain," Tears started to form in Jade's eyes.
Travis silently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and used his knuckles to wipe them away. Jade looked up t Travis, and his fingers gently cupped her cheek.
Then, with out a word, each of them leaned in until their lips met in the middle.
Just two figures, silently kissing on the park bench, illuminated in the night by the moon.
A/N: Don't worry more Badeyness to come. What do you guys think of Travis?
And, I have a confession to make to all Bade shippers.
I watched the video on YouTube of Victoria, Liz, and Leon talking about what's to come on Victorious in 2012.
And I saw the clip where the lamp explodes and Beck grabs Cat to protect her.
And I fell in love with Bat all over again.
So currently, I've been inspired to start working on my Bat stories again. Expect more soon!
I'm gonna list some of my favorite authors here for each ship just for the heck of it.
