Chapter 8: Jade's Date
Jade was taking a shower and Beck was watching TV when he heard a couple of knocks at the door. He groaned and stood up unwillingly. He reached the door and opened it. A tall guy with green eyes and brown hair emerged in front of him. Beck squinted at him. The boy smiled at him.
"Hi, I'm Ed." He greeted.
"Hello... I'm Beck." Beck replied.
"I just moved in the building and I wanted to ask you if the elevator works. I pushed the button to call it but it didn't respond, so I had to lift my stuff and use the stairs for three floors." He explained.
"Oh... The elevator doesn't work properly. You have to push the call button twice, then wait three seconds and then push it again once." Beck replied.
"Okay... So I push the button twice, then I wait for two seconds-"
"Three seconds. If you wait for less or more seconds then you have to wait two minutes and do it all over again." Beck cut him off.
Ed widened his eyes. "So, I push the button twice, I wait exactly three seconds and then I push it again once?"
Beck nodded. "That's right."
Ed sighed. "Fine. Thanks a lot."
"Don't mention it."
"Hey, Beck! Is Charlotte again? I swear I'm gonna cut her with my scissors and throw her pieces into the oven!" Jade screamed from the inside of the apartment.
Beck rolled his eyes, while Ed looked at him in shock. "Who is it?" He asked scared.
"Relax. It's just my roommate. She's scary, she's terrifying, but she won't hurt you..." Beck told him and paused. "I think. She's actually more relaxed when she comes out of the shower." He added, furrowing his eyebrows.
Ed glanced at him. "You live with a girl?"
Beck nodded. "You can't actually call her just a girl. She's probably the female version of Devil." He pointed out.
"Then, why you live with her?"
"Because I can't afford renting an apartment by my own."
"How much time do you know her?"
"Um... I think I know her almost seven years."
"She's your friend?"
"She was my girlfriend." Beck corrected him coldly.
Ed chuckled. "So... You were dating the female version of Devil?"
Beck shrugged. "I like danger."
Ed laughed. "Well, okay then. I should probably go." He stated.
"Okay... See you."
"That's sure. I'd love to meet the female version of Devil." Ed replied and winked at Beck. Beck faked a smile and closed the door.
"Well... I don't want you to meet the female version of Devil." Beck muttered and walked again to the couch.
Jade's footsteps echoed and she emerged in the living room. She was wearing her pyjamas and her wet hair was falling on her shoulders. She crossed her arms and gave Beck a scowl.
"Who was at the door?"
"Oh... Um, it was Charlotte. She wanted to... um... you know..." He rubbed the back of his neck. "She wanted to make sure that everything was alright because she heard a noise. I reassured that the noise didn't come from our apartment." He lied. He sighed silently. He was relieved that he had come up with a good explanation.
Jade squinted at him. "I didn't hear anything." She muttered, raising her pierced eyebrow.
He shrugged. "I didn't hear anything either. That's why I told her that the noise didn't come from us." He replied.
Jade wrinkled her nose. "Oh... Okay then. I'm going to bed."
"Goodnight." Beck replied and bit his bottom lip anxiously. He sighed and glanced at Kitten, who was lying next to him on the couch. He caressed her head and smiled, listening to the various noises of pleasure coming from her.
-The next day-
Jade yawned and rubbed her eyes. She slowly took the blanket off of her and sat up. That was when she realized that Kitten was sleeping right next to her pillow. She shrieked and stood up.
"BECK!" She shouted. No response. Jade pursed her lips and tried to wake Kitten up. "C'mon, you stupid cat! Wake up! You're sleeping on my bed!" Jade grumbled and moved Kitten. The little cat slowly opened her eyes.
"Finally!" Jade exclaimed angrily and glared at her. "Get off of my bed!" She ordered. Kitten didn't move. Jade rolled her eyes and sighed. "Get. Off. Of. My. Bed!" She repeated. The cat didn't move.
She groaned and got out of her bedroom. She entered Beck's room without knocking, just to find out it was empty. "Where the hell is he?" She mumbled as she continued wandering in the apartment. She returned to her bedroom and saw Kitten playing with a little piece of paper. Jade rushed to her and grabbed the little piece. "Give it." She muttered and unfolded it.
Hey. I'm at super market. I'll be back soon. Try not to kill Kitten.
Ps. I found her sleeping next to you this morning and I didn't want to wake her up. You and her seemed to enjoy each other's company... Anyway, remember to feed her.
Jade rolled her eyes and glared at Kitten. "Okay... Breakfast time. For both of us. I can't believe I'm gonna feed you..." She muttered, gritting teeth.
-Later-
Beck entered the apartment and saw Kitten sitting on the couch, watching TV. He squinted at the little cat that didn't seem to notice him and skimmed the room to find Jade.
"Hey, Jade?" He called.
Jade stormed in the living room and glared at him. "I can't believe you let me here alone with that little beast!" She shouted and pointed at Kitten.
Beck laughed and approached Kitten. "She's not a beast..." He told her and caressed cat's head.
Jade groaned and rolled her eyes. A knock at the door was heard and she ran to it. "I'm gonna kill whoever it is, I swear!" She yelled and opened the door, just to see a terrified boy looking at her. Jade widened her eyes and smiled.
Ed gulped. "Um... I should probably go... It's not the right time..." He mumbled and started walking away, but Jade grabbed his arm and made him stay.
"No! I'm fine. I'm not gonna kill anyone!" She told him, trying hard to stifle a giggle.
"Okay, then..." The boy gave her a charming smile. "I'm Ed."
Jade smirked. "I'm Jade." She replied.
Beck rolled his eyes and looked at Kitten. "Will you eat him?" He whispered.
"Come in." Jade suggested and gestured Ed to come inside. Beck suppressed a groan and faked a smile as he stood up.
"Hey, Ed. What's up?"
"Hi, Beck! Everything works fine, thanks. I got used to the elevator." He answered.
"That's pretty cool."
"Wait. Do you know each other?" Jade questioned.
"Yeah. I came yes-"
"He came early in the morning and asked me about the elevator. You were still sleeping." Beck cut him off.
Jade narrowed her eyes. "Oh... Um... Okay, then." She glanced at Ed. "Do you wanna hang out with us?"
"Sure. Only if you both want." Ed replied.
Jade gave Beck a scowl. He cleared his throat and faked a smile. "Of course, Ed." He replied.
Jade bounced. "Great. Excuse me for a sec, I'm going to the kitchen." She stated and ran away.
Ed gave Beck a questioning look. "Why didn't you let me tell her that I came yesterday?" He inquired.
"Ugh... Because... she was in a bad mood yesterday. Do you remember the 'female version of Devil'? Well... Believe me, you don't want to let her know that you were the one who knocked the door yesterday..." Beck lied.
Ed widened his eyes. "Oh, I get it. Man, she's hot." He replied.
"I know. I was dating her." Beck replied, arching his eyebrows.
Ed laughed. "Right... Does she have a boyfriend now?" He asked.
Beck knew what Ed was thinking. He knew what Ed wanted to ask Jade. And he didn't like it. "Um... No. No, she doesn't."
Ed sighed in relief. "Good."
"No, that's not good. You saw her, she's gorgeous. There are a lot of guys who would kill to have a girlfriend like her. But she doesn't have one. Why? There's probably another problem..." He stated, giving Ed a meaningful look.
Ed widened his eyes. "Right... So, what's the problem?" He asked silently.
"What's the problem? There isn't just one problem, Ed. She's mean, she's vicious, she's cold, she's scary, she's demanding, she's creepy, she's jealous, she's bossy, she hates children, she hates nature, she hates colors, she hates animals, she hates everything! Except scissors, she loves scissors. She loves cutting things or people with her scissors." Beck blurted.
Ed gulped. "You know what? I don't think I'll ask her out." He stated.
Beck smiled. "That's right. You've made the right choice." He told him and patted his shoulder.
They sat on the couch and Ed glanced at Beck. "But... You told me every bad quality of Jade, but you didn't tell me anything good for her. There must be something, right? I mean... You two used to date..." He whispered.
Beck sighed. "I know... I told you that she's actually gorgeous. She's funny, but no one can understand it, she's beautiful, she's talented, her singing is amazingly perfect. When I watch her-" He stopped. "When I watched her dance, she magnetized me. She's a great actress and script writer. And, she actually loves bunnies. Yes, she does. She wants to marry a man like coffee. She adores coffee. She drinks black coffee with two sugars. Actually, she says two sugars but she actually wants three. Remember it. She's not easy, but she's worth it. She's definitely worth it. You need to fight for her in order to be her boyfriend. You shouldn't give up on her because, firstly, you'll break her heart and I'll kill you and, secondly, she doesn't deserve someone who will give up on her. I did once, and it was awful."
"Did she try to murder you?"
"No. No, she didn't. She didn't do anything. That's the worst part. When she's in pain, she doesn't let anyone see it. She's strong and she's able to stand up for herself. She can heal her wounds alone, without anyone's help. But she can be vulnerable. She can be sweet and cute and all girly." He said smiling. He looked at Ed. "She's amazing." He added.
"Well, she sure is. Are you sure you're not dating anymore? You talk about her like she's still your girlfriend and-"
"She's not." Beck interrupted him. "I forgot to tell you that she can't forgive easily someone." He said and frowned.
"Bad break-up?" Ed questioned.
Beck chuckled bitterly and glanced at him. "The worst."
-Memory-
Jade stormed in Beck's RV and tossed her bag in a corner. Beck entered the RV after her and gave her a glare. "Will you stop that?"
"Stop what?" She snapped at him.
"Being mad at me for something I didn't do."
"You did call Meredith."
"Yes, because I wanted to know if she had my notebook. You know I gave it to her during class so that she could copy something..." She explained angrily.
Jade pursed her lips. "And then, you did go to her house." She added.
"Yes, because I wanted to take my notebook back!"
"So, you admit that you went to her house?"
"Yes, but only bec-"
"Guilty!" Jade shouted, cutting him off.
Beck ran a hand through his hair and rolled his eyes. "I'm not guilty. I just took my notebook back..."
"Why did you go to Meredith's house?" Jade asked him again.
"For a fucking notebook!" Beck shouted.
"I don't believe you!"
"You make me sick!" Jade stared at him. Beck sighed and glanced at her.
She gave him a scowl. "You know what?"
"Tell me what."
"Maybe it was just a mistake." She stated.
"What was just a mistake?"
"That we got back together." She answered and grabbed her bag from the floor. She headed to the door. As she was passing next to Beck, he grabbed her arm.
"Jade..."
"No. That's it. We're over. Go to someone who doesn't make you sick." She told him.
Beck sighed and let go of her arm. She took a deep breath and got out of the RV, closing the door behind her.
Beck threw himself on his bed and stared at the ceiling. "Great. I didn't really mean that..." He mumbled.
-End of Flashback-
"I knew that there was no coming back. It was the second time I had given up on her and she would never forgive me." He explained. "And the worst pat was when she sent Cat, our friend from school, to pick up her stuff. Cat gave me a box with my stuff from her house. It was awful."
"It reminded you of the good times you had together, uh?" Ed guessed.
"No. She had destroyed everything." Beck pointed out.
"Do you think I should ask her out? Now I know many things about her."
Beck caught himself wanting to punch Ed. Don't! She deserves something better, ok? Just tell him to ask her out! "Yeah, Ed. You should try it." Beck answered.
Ed grinned. "Okay, then..."
Jade got in the room and squinted at them. Both Beck and Ed cleared their throats and smiled innocently. Jade frowned. "What were you two talking about?" She questioned suspiciously.
"Nothing you need to know. We were just talking about soccer and stuff. You know. We're both boys." Beck lied.
Jade rolled her eyes. "Right... What else could you be talking about?" She commented.
She sat on the couch between them. Ed spotted Kitten. "Hey! Do you have a cat?" He asked in surprise.
"Yes." Jade mumbled.
"I love cats." Ed stated.
Jade smiled widely. "I love cats, too! I think they're awesome!" Jade exclaimed happily.
Beck rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. "Oh my God..." He whispered.
"That's cool." Ed replied and smiled at Jade. "So... Um..." He glanced at Beck, his eyes asking desperately for help.
Beck sighed. He really didn't want to do that... He grabbed his script from the movie and a pen from the table in front of him and wrote quickly some words.
Hey... Do you have any plans for tomorrow night? I guess you have, because a girl like you sure has plans every day, but I just thought that maybe I was lucky...
Beck raised the paper and held it behind of Jade. Ed read the lines Beck had written and looked at Jade. "Hey... Um... Do you... Do you have any plans for tomorrow night? I guess you have, because a girl like you sure has plans every day, but I just thought that maybe I was lucky..." He stated.
Jade smiled and shook her head. "No. Actually I don't have any plans." She replied.
Beck wrote again a sentence and raised the paper. *look into her eyes and gave her a confident smile* Really? That really surprises me. *pause and take her hand* Then, would you like to honor me and go out with me?
Ed did as Beck ordered. Jade widened her eyes. "Um... Sure, why not?"
Beck started writing again. Great. I'll text you tomorrow what time I'm gonna pick you up. We're going for sushi. Be prepared.
Ed told Jade his lines. "I love sushi! How did you know?" Jade asked him smiling.
Beck folded his script and thrust it under a pillow. He let the pen on the table and glanced at Ed. Ed smiled at him thankfully and turned to Jade. "I had a feeling." He replied smirking.
Beck cleared his throat. Jade and Ed looked at him. "Are you guys hungry?" He asked.
"Oh, yeah... I'll go get the phone to order some pizza." Jade offered and stood up.
Beck took her hand and made her sit down again. "You don't have to. I'll go out to get it. I like walking." He replied and stood up.
"Oh, okay then... Thanks. Buy whichever pizza you want. I don't have a problem. Do you have a problem, Ed?" She questioned.
"No. Not at all. I like every kind of pizza."
Beck nodded. "Okay, then. I'm going." He stated and grabbed his keys and some money from his jacket. He winked at Ed and exited the apartment. As soon as he closed the door, he took his phone and texted to Ed.
From: Beck
To: Ed
Talk to her about 'The Scissoring'. It's a movie which is about a girl who comes from the death and kills her two best friends with a pair of scissors. Good luck. You have 15 mins to make her love you.
He pressed 'send' and ran a hand through his hair, sighing. "I can't believe I'm actually doing this... I should've been in there." He mumbled.
"What are you doing?" Matt's voice asked him.
Beck turned around and saw Matt standing in front of him. "Oh, hey Matt. What's up?"
"Why are you like that? What happened?"
Beck scoffed. "Nothing happened." He replied.
Matt sneered. "Oh, c'mon... What is it?"
"Nothing, Matt. Don't you have anything better to do?"
"Actually I was coming to your apartment to ask you if you have seen that Ed. He's really annoying, isn't he?"
Beck chuckled. "You have no idea. I'm going to get some pizza. Do you wanna come with me?"
"Sure!" Matt bounced.
"Okay... Let's go tell your mother that you're coming with me. She'll get worried."
-The Next Day-
Late at night, Beck was still sitting on the couch, having Kitten in his embrace. He didn't feel like sleeping. He was too stressed. Jade was on a date with Ed. They had been out for three hours and it was killing him. He didn't know what they were doing, he didn't know where they were, he didn't know anything. He glanced at the clock. Three hours, fifty-seven minutes and twenty seconds. Almost four hours. Jade went out on a date with Ed four hours ago and she hadn't returned yet.
Suddenly, he heard a key thrusting in the keyhole. He quickly covered himself with a blanket he had and closed his eyes, feigning that he was sleeping. Kitten curled up in his arms, enjoying the warmth of the blanket.
Jade entered the house mumbling something about a stupid keyhole. She threw her purse on the couch, watching out not to hit Beck. Her date was the worst. Ed was sweet, cute, hot and handsome. Jade was totally into him. But he didn't let her talk at all. He had started talking about his life, his dreams, his family... When Jade was about to say something, he cut her off and started talking again. When he started talking about his ex-girlfriends, Jade couldn't take it anymore. Ed exited the restaurant with a black eye and his shirt ruined from the food Jade had thrown on him. And as if that wasn't enough, she had to pay for the diner.
She groaned and walked to her bedroom cursing about the worst date of her life. She put her pyjamas on and walked to the living room again to take her purse. She returned to her room and lay on her bed, exhausted from her date. She tried to sleep, but her mind was spinning, recalling her dates with Beck, which she enjoyed. She frowned and stood up. She walked shuffling to the couch, where Beck was sleeping. She was about to make an effort to wake him up, when she noticed a piece of paper under a pillow on the couch. She slowly took it and unfolded it. It was Beck's script. But at the last page there was something written. She could recognize Beck's handwriting. She read the lines written. Her eyes widened. She tried to stifle a scream and placed the script at its place. Why would Beck do that? She shook her head. It wasn't time to think about that, she was too tired. She tapped his shoulder.
"Hey... C'mon, wake up. You slept on the couch..." She whispered. Beck groaned and turned to the other side. Jade rolled her eyes and took the blanket off of him. "WAKE UP!" She yelled.
Beck opened his eyes suddenly and looked at her in question. "What the hell was that?" He asked her angrily.
She shrugged. "I felt bad leaving you sleeping here and I couldn't wake you up with a nice way." She replied.
Beck sighed in frustration and stood up. "How was your date?" He asked.
"Terrible. Never speak of it ever again." She mumbled and walked to her bedroom.
Beck headed to his room, a relieving smile spead all over his face.
