I am so sorry. The last chapters have all been fillers and just ridiculously off plot. I will try and get back to that now – I am so sorry!

Chapter 9: Back to Square One.
Jade's POV
I flaunted the short skirt I was wearing around my hips as Beck and I briskly pranced down the school corridor. His arm was wrapped around my waist protectively, his desire to show everyone that I was his clearly evident. We approached our lockers, only to have a solemn looking Scarlette leaning against them.
"Hey, what's up?" I said happily, unsure of her seemingly down mood.
"Hey, um, this isn't easy for me to say…"
Beck looked at me curiously and my eyes widened a little.
"Our parents, meaning most of us, have kind of said that they don't want us to hang out with you guys" she looked up sorrowfully. Her eyes round and pleading.
"Why not?" I answered calmly.
"Something about being a bad influence, we all tried to convince them that you guys were really cool and responsible but they wouldn't listen, we aren't really supposed to talk back to them. When we do they say that we have to repent because we have gone against God's good nature of speaking unhealthily to them" she looked slightly exasperated. Her dark hair was back in its tight ponytail, her clothes back to their librarian style of long sleeves and high-neck lines.
"Are you sure they really meant it?" Beck questioned, his arm that wasn't around me loosely brushing through his long, thick hair.
"I think so" she muttered gravely.
"Oh my God, do you want my mum to talk to them or something?"
"That might help but I don't know, it really sucks because you guys are really fun" she groaned almost helplessly. She brushed the non-existent piece of hair behind her ear nervously and looked back down at the ground in defeat.
"Don't worry! We'll fix it!" I tried to soothe her. Soothing wasn't really my thing. I mean, I was Jade, not someone like the bubbly Cat Valentine in Hollywood. Beck walked from me and embraced her, his arms wrapping around her body quickly and then looking her in the eye.
"You guys are awesome too, we're going to fix it, okay?" he whispered smoothly.
"Mmkay" she managed, nodding. I smiled and pulled Beck by the hand.
"It's not going to stop me from sitting with you guys at lunch" I grinned and gave her a wave, "see you in English!"
She nodded, a little happier than before.
"What are we going to do?" I said urgently and worriedly to Beck. He just shook his head and looked down at the ground as we sped away towards our first lesson.
"I don't know …" he trailed off, his eyebrows furrowed together.
"I feel like we're back at square one"
"It's a bit like that" he muttered, squeezing my hand and pulling me further towards the classroom.
IMPORTANT
I am really not feeling this story. I want to continue but I really have no idea where I can go with it. I am not going to stop it. I just think I'll take a break for a while so that when I come back it'll be some awesome plot line that everyone will want to read because it's evident, through the last few chapters, that it has been getting really off the original plotline and just loosely linked together pathetically.
So, I am going to start a new story, multi-chapter, one shot, whatever you guys want. In your review PLEASE tell me what pairing and what kind of story you want to happen. Don't worry about reviewing this chapter or this story or anything, it's not going to disappear I promise, please just let me know what you want me to write next.
I apologise for this whole thing but really hope to get some ideas for my next story. My holidays start in like two days so I will be on a writing frenzy! Seriously, I will consider EVERY option!
Okay, love you guys.
Hope to see some options in my reviews, haha xxo.
