Hellooooooo people! How are my wonderful readers? I hope you're good. Ok I know I updated (again) late. Still I have a quite interesting chapter here for you. Also to let you know this story ends in chapter 10! So we have this one and two more chapters. So get excited haha. Okay here's an intriguing chapter 8 for you!

Jade's POV (as usual)

Ok. I admit it. I'm starting to feel pretty nervous. Yes Jade West is getting nervous. And now your silly mind will think "Hey why are you so nervous Jade?" Are you stupid? Our play is in two days! Don't you still know? AND I have a Beck freaking out AND freaking me out. He is always thinking how everything will be bad and that he'll screw up and whatever. He seriously gets on my nerves. Ughhhh I feel like punching him every time he says that we're screwed. Which I actually am about to do right now. Beck is whimpering about how he'll forget his words and our friends try to calm him down hugging him or telling encouraging words while I'm just looking at him with my eyebrow raised.

"Are you dumb or something?" I ask him making a disgusted look. He turns his head and looks at me.

"Huh?" is the only thing he answers and I feel like pulling my hair out.

"I said are you dumb or something?" I shout in his ear.

"Hey Jade don't be mean to him don't you see he's stressed" interrupts Tori and I roll my eyes.

"Oh please… He's just overacting" I exclaim and Cat nods a little bit. That seems to surprise all of them.

"Whaty?" asks Cat and drinks her juice.

"You agree with her?" asks Robbie who has his hand around Cat's waist.

"Actually yes" she answers leaving everyone speechless. Then she adds turning to Beck "you are an exceptional actor and you never worry about any play or audition and I know this one is very important for you but there's no way that you won't shine up there" she says. It's what I exactly want to tell him but she says it sweeter and nicer. Well that's Cat. Beck looks confused and surprised at the same time and I try hard not to roll my eyes again. He looks at me and I look at him too eating my salad.

"So you think everything is gonna be ok?" he asks and I take a deep breath.

"Of course! There's no way you and I won't kill it. If it was you and Tori… yes I 'd be cautious but having me by your side you shouldn't feel like that" I say and I see Tori rolling her eyes at my comment. But I can't look more at her cause now Beck is smiling widely and he kisses me hard on the mouth.

"Thank you" he says kissing my temple and letting me take a breath.

"Whatever" I respond but I smile a little bit.

After Sikowitz's class we are ready to leave when I hear Beck's phone ringing. He gets it out of his pocket and answers.

"Hello" I hear him say and I cross my hands on my chest waiting for him "Yeah ok. No wait I have to take Jade back home. Okay I'll meet you then. Yeah ok bye mum" he says and I raise my eyebrow.

"My mum" he says and I just look at him expectantly. He takes my hand and leads me out of the school "She said that I have to go home. I will get to meet the director that will come to the play" he says like it's the simplest thing in the world.

"That's awesome Beck! Don't worry about me. I'll walk home!"

"No way. I'm not letting you here" he replies and I take his hand in mine.

"You have to be there. Go, you know I don't really mind. You can't let him wait. You should really go" I look into his eyes and I can say he is indecisive so I kiss his cheek and smile at him a bit "Go" I urge him and he takes a deep breath.

"Are you sure? It won't take long it's ok I 'll drive faster"

"No. Now go. Go make a good impression and then call me to tell me how it went" I say making him get in the car. He kisses me softly putting his hand in my hair and I start pulling him towards me but I then I remember that he has to go so I pull apart. I wink at him and I wait as he starts the car. He waves one time and then I see his car fade as he increases speed. Now what? I can't call Cat. I'm sure she's with Robbie. I can't call Andre either. Pretty sure he's with Tori. There's no way I'll call my Dad or Mum and even if I wanted to they are now at work. So… the only solution is…to walk. Ugh I hate walking. It's too tiring and my home is kinda far. I take a deep breath and I start walking. Today we don't have rehearsals with Albert. He had a sudden appointment and he said he couldn't miss it. Well better for us. We'll have some time for ourselves to relax and get ready for our certain success. So here I am enjoying myself and relaxing… Yeah right. Ughh life is so unfair. Why can't I be an awesome creature that can teleport or fly or something like that? I would seriously be the coolest AND hottest girl in the world. But I can't teleport or fly so I have to compromise with my feet. Still I 'm not that grumpy as I seem. I'm actually pretty happy and excited for Beck. He'll get to know his future director because there's no way this man won't take Beck as his main character. Who wouldn't take Beck as the leader of their show or movie or series? Me. Yeah because then he would have to make out with other chicks and I don't like it. But if I am the female lead character then there's no problem. Then I'll accept him as my male lead character. He then 'll have to make out with me and no other girl. I kinda like this idea very much. And I think I might fulfill it and-

"Jade?" I hear a voice calling my name and I turn my head to see who's calling me. I see a car next to me. And inside the car is Ryder. I start walking again not giving him a second look. I hear his car next to me again "Hey Jade why are you walking? Where's your car?"

"What do you care?" I respond and walk faster. Not only he interrupted my awesome thought but he also continues disturbing me.

"Where's your car?" he ignores my question but I don't answer back "Are you going home?" he asks once more and I roll my eyes because of his persistence.

"Leave me alone Ryder. Go home" I snap and try to ignore his surprised look.

"Oh I get it. Beck drives you here. Where's Beck?" he asks once more and I 'm starting to get angry.

"He had something to do" I murmur and I hope that's enough for him. Clearly not enough.

"And he left you alone?" he hisses and I take a deep breath "Get in the car" I hear him say and I turn my head to look at him.

"Excuse me?" I ask and he stops the car opening the door.

"Get inside. I'll take you home" he is serious.

"Uh let me think about it. Well no" I answer bitterly.

"Why not?" he asks and starts the car once more because I'm walking again.

"I prefer walking"

"No you don't. Come on I don't bite"

"I do" I answer making him chuckle.

"Jade don't be so stubborn. Get in the car. I'm just gonna take you home. I won't tell anyone. I promise"

"Really? Oh right. Now that great Ryder promised I will get in his stupid car so he can take me home. Yay!" I make a fake high pitched voice and I see him smile.

"You won't last long Jade. I know you. Come in. Don't act childish"

"I don't act childish" I respond -or I'd better say scream- but he doesn't seem a bit afraid. I consider it a little bit. He's right. I won't last long I hate walking and my feet already hurt. I look at him one time and he smiles. So I give up and get into his car. If he does something weird I'll punch him in the face. He starts the car once more and turns on the radio.

"Change it if you want" he says but my finger is already changing the station. Finally I find one I like. He starts humming. I have to admit it. He has a pretty good voice. Before I know it I start singing with him and he smiles at me. I smile back but then I turn my head away. I look out of the window. Beck must be at his home by now. What would he say if he found out Ryder drove me home? Of course he 'll get angry. But I don't do something bad or wrong. He'll understand. Or that's what I hope he'll do…

Beck's POV

As soon as I leave school I have already regretted that I left Jade walk home. I am about to go back and give her a ride just to make sure she's ok but I remember her words. She said I have to make a good impression and don't be absent of late. I'm sure she'll be ok. And I promise to myself I'm NEVER gonna let her alone again. It's just… today is an emergency. I drive faster so I can get home sooner and then call Jade to see if she's ok. I park outside my house and I take out my key to open the door. I have to admit that it's been a long time since I went inside my house. Still I can't say I miss it. I like my RV better. Maybe it's cause there I can have Jade with me. I really believe that we're like a married couple. I told her once and she nearly killed me. But I think it's true. We sleep together, we are all the time together. She even helps me clean it even though that's our little secret. In my RV we drink our coffee or watch movies or even do our homework. It's where she leaves her dark self aside and becomes my personal goddess. It's where we order pizza and where we first said I love you to each other. Jade a little later than I did but still. I remember how happy she made me that day.

~Flashback~

We were sitting on my bed watching her favorite movie The Scissoring. Jade suddenly turned her head to look at me. I smiled and I saw her showing me the empty cup of coffee she was holding.

"More coffee?" I asked and she nodded smiling a little bit. I got up and refilled her cup with hot coffee I then gave it to her and covered us with a blanket. It was really cold outside. It was one cold day of December. I saw from the corner of my eye Jade smelling her coffee and I tried to keep my face straight instead of the huge grin I had the urge to show her.

"I swear I don't know how you make this coffee so amazing" I heard her murmur and I hugged her tighter.

"I put inside a special ingredient you now" I whispered and she turned her head to look at me.

"What is it?" she asked with a curious face. I caressed her face and I looked into her beautiful eyes.

"Much much love" I whispered. I was ready for her reaction. I was sure she would scream or swear or never talk to me. I was waiting for a slap or something. Nothing of these came. Instead I heard her say "I love you too Beck"

Looked at her with my eyes wide from the shock. It was the first time she said she loved me. When I had told her first she had said that she wasn't ready yet and that she needed time. But then she told me. I felt my heart beating fast. I was about to tell something when she interrupted me.

"It's probably the first and last time I'll say it so don't get used to it" she informed me and I chuckled. Typical Jade. But it was ok. One time was enough for me. Right then I felt like I was the happiest person in the world. I kissed her temple and hair about a million times and I could see the big smile in her face although she was trying hard to hide it. It was a cold but still warm day of December. My heart had melted from her warm words. Right then I knew she was the one.

~End of flashback~

As I enter the house I hear voices. I close the door slowly and I peek from the corner. There's my mum with my dad and a man I don't know. The director I guess. They are discussing about me.

"I've heard the best critics for your son. You must be very proud" the man says and I smile a little bit.

"Well thank you yes we're very proud" answers my mum smiling.

"I see he doesn't live here" notices the man and I panic for a moment.

"Yeah he lives in the RV. His motto was my RV my rules" laughs my dad and I want to cut him off but then I hear the director speaking.

"Rebel… Hmm I like it. He's a free spirit" I chuckles and I feel relieved. I decide it's time to make my presence clear. I take a deep breath and walk in the room.

"Oh Beck when did you come? I didn't hear you" says mum as she sees me.

"I just came in. Hello" I extended my hand to the director and he took it in his "Nice to meet you. I'm Beck Oliver"

"Adrian Bates. Pleased to finally meet you" he answers and I smile sitting next to him.

"Nice to meet you too. I'm glad you wanted to see me Mr. Bates" I respond politely.

"Call me Adrian please. And I 'm glad I found you. You're just as I imagined you. I hear you're one of the best actors in your school if not the best of all them"

"Thank you very much. I'm doing the best I can"

"I like that… you have potential" smiles Adrian. My dad then offers to show him some pictures from previous performances. Quite embarrassing for me but Adrian seems too interested to see them so I let my dad guide him. I stay with my mum in the living room.

"You were quick. Did you drive Jade safe at home?" asks my mother taking a sip from her coffee.

"I actually didn't. She walked home" I admit and see her eyes widen.

"You left her walk home? Beck that wasn't nice of you. You should have taken her back home"

"I know but she insisted. And you know what happens when Jade has something in her mind. You can't change her decisions. I'll call her later to see if she's ok"

"Okay. Go ask Mr. Adrian if he wants some more coffee" she says and I stand up. I climb the stairs and I hear Adrian speak. I am about to get inside the room but I see that my dad is nowhere to find and Adrian speaks on the phone. I am ready to go away and let him continue his phone call when I listen to his next words.

"Yeah he's awesome. I know. Yeah I had no idea. Yeah now I know" he says and I peek from the corner. There's a little pause and then Adrian speaks again "Yeah I have to. He's still young. But he has to come with me in London" London? Is he talking about me? "Oh come on he can make new friends there. And I'll make sure to transfer him in a good school" No I can't leave. I can't go away. Neither can I leave all my friends here or my girlfriend. My Jade. No I can't leave her here "Yeah I'll talk with him as soon as work's over. Yeah I first have to end the movie and then we'll head together to London. There's no way I'm letting him here" Adrian continues but I don't want to listen more. I go away and after I get to the living room I sit on the couch.

"Son are you ok?" I hear my dad's voice and I slightly nod.

"Can you bring me a glass of water please?" I ask in a low voice and my mother literally runs to get me some water. I hear Adrian walking down and coming towards us and I quickly change my face to happy. But inside I'm boiling. I can't leave my hometown. Not yet. I can't leave my friends, my school… my love. The love of my life. This is too much for me right now. I haven't even finished school. And I can't finish it to some stupid building in London. Still I don't show any of my emotions and when my mother brings me the water I smile widely. She looks at me curiously but I don't pay much attention. I can't even really pay attention to what Adrian says either. I'm busy thinking about my future. What if he takes me to London then somewhere else? Some time ago I would be completely happy. But now I know I'm not still ready to make such a big step like that. I'm not ready to give up on Jade. I always imagined us to be together. To graduate together then be successful professional actors together. I can't give up on this dream. It's not right. It's not what I want. And then… What would Jade say if she found out I have to go away? But I already know. She will send me away to fulfill my dream and be a professional actor. And that's the hardest part. I know I have to convince her I don't want to go without her. But I also know she 'll reject my offer. She will send me away, far away from her. That's what I would do for her too. Oh my god… What am I gonna do? How am I gonna tell her? How will I manage to be away from her? Lose her? Like….maybe…forever?

Tadaaaaaaaaa I'm bad I know. Ahaha next chapter is intense. We'll have a little bade fight, Jade's also learning about Beck's trip to London and much more. Thank you again for all your amazing reviews I love you guys so much! See ya next time!

P.s. sorry for any mistakes I didn't have the time to correct them! Hope they're not many haha
