"The address that we tracked down...was Beck's house." Sinjin broke the news.
Jade and Beck are surprised.
"We've done three different test runs and they all lead back to their address." Robbie told.
"Figures. I should have known. They DO hate me and don't want us to get married. Not to mention that Beck found the picture because his parents showed it to him. Those jerks." Jade answered.
"None of your parents want you guys to get married, besides your mom and Joe." Robbie reminded.
"We gotta tell Beck." Jade demanded.
"We need to gather all our proof beforehand. He's not just gonna accept it easily. He didn't believe you when you told him, he won't believe us either. Unless we have solid proof to show him." Sinjin suggested.
At Beck's house after school. It's about 3:15 pm and Beck storms in his house. He goes to the kitchen where his parents are.
"Why the HELL would you do that?" Beck slammed the front door in anger. Both his parents stop their conversation and look up to see their only son.
"Do what, honey?" Angelina Oliver, Beck's mom, questioned.
"You know exactly what. You photoshopped that picture of Jade and Andre kissing. Didn't you?" Beck questioned them, already knowing the answer, but seeing if they will be honest with him.
"Beck, we.." Angelina was cut off.
"DIDN'T YOU?!." Beck shouted, his anger leaking out. It was quiet for a moment while his parents kept looking at each other.
"..Yeah. We did.." Angelina put her head down in shame.
"Why would you do something like that and lie about it?" Beck wondered.
"Jade's not good for you." Mark Oliver, his father, answered.
"You don't know Jade like I do, so you can't say that." Beck claimed.
"She's goth and weird and she's mean. That's all we need to know. She's not right." Mark thought he knew.
"That's her exterior. She's different when we're alone." Beck admitted.
"You can't be serious." Angelina doubted.
"Yes, she's hard to handle sometimes, but she's slowly learning. I wouldn't have her any other way. Jade's my everything and I won't let you ruin our wedding. Even if that means uninviting you two, so be it." Beck confessed.
"Beck. Come on, honey. Rethink your decision." Angelina told her son.
"No. I'm eighteen. I'm an adult fully capable of making my own decisions. I've wanted Jade from the start and I'm keeping her now that I do have her. I'm gonna marry her." Beck told his parents. No one is gonna ruin their wedding anymore.
"You're just seniors in high school. You shouldn't be getting married now. Get a higher education and don't worry about anybody but yourself." Angelina suggested.
"Your mother's right, Beck." Mark informed.
"No. She's not. And I can't believe you would trick me into trying to break up with her." Beck was astounded.
"It almost worked." Mark muttered.
"Yeah, almost. You had me for a few weeks, but now the jig is up." Beck informed.
"Beck. We're just trying to help you." Angelina started pleading.
"By ruining my relationship with my fiance and best friend? That's helping? How would that help?" Beck was getting more mad each minute.
"We just want to see you happy. We love you." Angelina confessed.
"If you really loved me, you'd do this for me to see me happy. It's not about you! You had your chance. It's about us now. It's our turn. She makes me happy and we're getting married in August. There's nothing you could do about it." With that, Beck stormed off.
Beck arrived to Jade's house in a matter of minutes. He needed to straighten things out with his girl. He knocked and now he's waiting impatiently for the door to open.
"Beck. It's been a while." Jade's twelve year old brother opened the door. Not exactly the West that Beck wanted to see.
"Hey. Is Jade here?" Beck asked impatiently. Tyler could see he was impatient and was actually a bit surprised because he's never seen this much emotion from Beck.
"No. She's out shopping with mom. It's just me and Joe here." Tyler replied.
"Do you know when she'll be back?" Beck rushed to get the answers.
"No. Why do you care?" Tyler questioned him with his eyebrow raised. He crossed his arms over his chest to look intimidating, but Beck wasn't phased.
"I came here to talk and apologize." Beck admitted.
"Apologize for not believing her? You've hurt her a lot and it makes me dislike you, you know?" Tyler was honest with the older man in front of him.
"I know, but I finally realized it. I've been dumb." Beck begrudgingly accepted.
"Yeah you have." Tyler scoffed.
"I'm here to get her back." Beck said out of nowhere.
"You've never really lost her." Tyler admitted. "She's been moping around for weeks because of you and it was concerning everyone."
"I know. And I feel awful for making her feel that way." Beck told.
"You should. She'll forgive you soon though. She loves you with all her heart. Jade's my big sister and it's my job to make sure she's okay. I wanna see her happy. You make her happy. I've got to accept that. I'll see you later." With that, Tyler closed the door and Beck waited a minute before he left.
The next day, people start gathering in Sikowitz's class.
"Hey, Cat. Have you seen Jade?" Beck asked. He hasn't seen Jade yet and he needs to talk to her soon.
"She's in Lane's office. She's still upset. She may be there for a while." Cat replied as Andre and Tori walked in together.
"Andre. I need to talk to you." Beck commanded as Andre and Tori made some eye contact.
After last period near Tori's locker.
"So, he actually apologized and now you're good?" Jade asked her best male friend.
"Yeah. We're back to normal now." Andre clarified.
"I'm glad you two are friends again." Tori smiled and Jade rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, me too. Now if only he could apologize to his fiance. Where is he now?" Jade asked.
"Hospital. His father got into a car accident and he's there now. He left right after 6th period." Andre answered.
"Mark's in the hospital?" Jade questioned and left to go to Sikowitz's classroom without waiting for Andre to repeat himself.
"Hi, Jade." Sikowitz was getting his things packed up to leave.
"Sikowitz. I need you to pick up Tyler today." Jade tried to explain.
"Sure. But, why?" Sikowitz emphasized his concern.
"Beck's dad is in the hospital and I'm gonna visit him." Jade told. Sikowitz understood.
"Go do what you need to do. I'll get Tyler." Jade nodded her head and left to go to the hospital.
Jade hates hospitals. Ever since her mom was diagnosed with cancer, she's hated it since.
"Hi. I'm here to see Mark Oliver." Jade told the blonde lady at the front desk.
"Name and relationship with patient." The blonde looked like she didn't want to be there.
"Jade. He's my soon-to-be father-in-law." Jade answered honestly. The blonde just stared at Jade.
"He's not really accepting anymore visitors at the moment." Jade sighed in irritation.
"Listen here, you little bitch. If you don't let me see him, I will hurt you with my scissors and make sure you get fired. I'm not playing around. Let me see him now." Jade threatened as she held the blonde by the collar.
"Room...202." The blonde decided to answer as Jade dropped her and left.
"How is he?" Jade rushed in the room. Mark, Angelina, and Beck are confused.
"Jade?" Beck asked confused. Mark and Angelina are just as confused as their son.
"How's your dad?" Jade looked at her fiance.
"He's alive and recovering. He just has a small headache though." Beck answered still confused.
"That's good." Jade breathed a sigh of relief and held her head.
"What are you doing here?" Beck asked the question that all three Olivers were thinking.
"To check up on your dad, what else? I rushed here as soon as I heard the news." Jade replied.
"But, why? You two hate each other." Beck was even more confused now. Jade sighed.
"Because he's important to you. I wanna be here for you because I love you. And since you love him, I do too." Jade smiled a small, genuine smile.
"Jade. You didn't have to." Beck honestly told her.
"No. I did. Like it or not, he's family. I have to support him." Jade finished her spiel.
"Babe..I don't know what to say." Beck was honestly speechless.
"An apology for not trusting me would suffice." Jade muttered as she looked at the parents briefly.
"Right. About that. I overheard you talking to Sinjin and Robbie yesterday. I confronted my parents and they confessed about the Photoshop. I'm sorry I didn't believe you about the picture. I knew I should have listened to you from the beginning. I was stupid." Beck confessed.
"Yeah you were." Jade muttered and Beck sighed.
"And, I'm sorry. Forgive me?" Beck apologized to his lover.
"I could never not forgive you, Oliver." Jade told him as they kissed. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." Beck claimed as they kissed again.
"Awe..Maybe..Maybe we were wrong all this time." Angelina tried to say.
"No. You definitely were." Jade told them and Beck smiled and chuckled a bit.
"The fact that you rushed over here to see if Beck's dad was okay proves it. You honestly didn't have to. Even though you two didn't make up until now, it's sweet you came to visit. Maybe, you're not as bad as we thought." Angelina smiled.
"We can see how much you love each other. And, we're honestly really sorry about the picture. You are the best girl for Beck. We were wrong and Beck was right." Mark finished.
"Thank you, Mr. Oliver." Jade thanked.
"Please. Call me dad." Mark told her and everyone smiled.
That happened.
Now everything is better. Or is it?
Please review.
