"Um.. Beck?"
"Yeah?"
Jade looked down at their hands. She had just noticed that they were holding hands.
"Oh. Right." The two quickly released their grip on each other then awkwardly looked away. A faint blush was forming on Jade's cheeks.
Jade cleared her throat, "I better go wash up."
"Yeah. And I'll get the others for the sleepover." Beck nodded at her and the two parted ways. Beck went straight out to the deck while Jade went over to the bathroom in the hallway.
Jade shut the door behind her and took a deep breath. She felt better now that she was able to tell Beck about what's been happening to her. She really needed someone to lean on aside from Cat and even though she and Beck have broken up, she felt that she could still run to him whenever she had problems.
She took a look at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were stained with mascara, her eyes were still red and puffy and her hair was a mess. She went to the sink and splashed some cold water on her face, after which she washed off her make up then reapplied it. The contents of her bag were now all over the bathroom counter. Finally satisfied with her appearance, she fixed up her stuff. She looked down at her hand. She could still feel Beck's hand in hers. She felt that tingly feeling that she always felt with Beck when they were together. It gave her goosebumps. The good kind of goosebumps. That brought a small smile on her face.
Her thoughts were cut off by a knock on the door, "Jade? Are you done yet? I have to pee."
Jade rolled her eyes and opened the door, "All yours, Vega."
"Thanks." Tori smiled before pushing past her and into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. Jade rolled her eyes once more, annoyed with Tori and walked away. When she got to the living room, the place was already set up. The furniture was pushed away, leaving a big empty space in the middle which was now covered with sleeping bags. Robbie was looking through DVD's by the TV and Cat was already changed into her pink pajamas. She was sitting on one of the sleeping bags, hugging her stuffed giraffe and eating a piece of licorice. How long was I in there?
"I wanna watch the Waggafuffles concert, Robbie!" Cat exclaimed.
Jade frowned upon hearing this. There was no way that they were gonna watch that. She plopped herself down on the sofa and took off her boots.
"I don't think Beck has the Waggafuffles concert on DVD." Robbie replied and kept searching through the DVD's.
"Phooey." Cat frowned and took another bite of her licorice.
"We got popcorn and chips." Beck said as he and Andre entered the living room with two bowls of popcorn and two bags of chips. They set the food down on the coffee table that was pushed back near the TV.
"Is there dip?" Jade asked.
Beck looked at her then smirked, "Of course there's dip. You can't have chips without dip." He replied matter of factly then exited the living room to the kitchen once again to get dip and some sodas.
Jade smiled. She liked eating chips with dip. She leaned back on the couch and grabbed a throw pillow to hug.
"Jade, why don't you change into your pajamas?" Cat asked her. She was now rolling on her sleeping bag and giggling.
Jade frowned at the redhead then said, "Whatever. I'll get my bag from the car." She got up and started putting her boots on.
"You don't need to. I got our stuff out. Your bag is over there." Cat pointed to a pile of bags by the sofa that Jade didn't notice. On the very top were Jade's black duffel bag and Cat's bright pink backpack. She shrugged and took her bag from the pile then started walking to the bathroom.
"Oh. We're changing to pajamas already? I'll get dressed after you do, Jade." Tori smiled as she entered the living room. Jade frowned at her then continued walking. Tori frowned back at her raven haired friend then sat down next to Cat.
…..
"So, what movie are we watching?" Tori asked through a mouthful of popcorn. The gang was now dressed in their pj's and were settled around the living room. Jade took over the entire couch but let Beck sit on one end so that he could hold the chips and dip for her. Cat sat on a lounge chair closest to Jade while Tori sat cross legged on the floor next to Andre and Robbie was on his stomach near Cat.
"Well, it was between Unicorn Rainbow Adventures and Real Steel." Andre replied.
Cat gasped then clapped her hands. Everyone could tell which movie she was rooting for.
"We went with Real Steel." Andre finished then pressed play on the player's remote.
"Good choice." Tori said and popped a piece of popcorn into her mouth.
"Aw." Cat pouted then crossed her arms. She was really looking forward to watching Unicorn Rainbow Adventures. She brought the DVD just in case they didn't have anything to watch.
"We can watch Unicorn Rainbow Adventures next time, Cat." Beck reassured her and that instantly put a smile on the redhead's face. She giggled and hugged her stuffed giraffe as she paid attention to the screen.
"I will not be there when that happens." Jade whispered to Beck, irritated. She did not want to sit through an hour and a half watching a 2D cartoon unicorn named Rainbow save a bunch of unicorns from whatever disasters unicorns could have. If Beck lived up to his promise, she sure as hell wouldn't be there for it.
Beck only smiled and sipped his soda, his eyes on the movie.
Halfway through the movie, the gang started to fall asleep one-by-one. Soon enough, Beck was the only one awake once the movie ended. They had all switched positions while the movie went on. Tori was now sprawled on the lounge chair, Robbie had overtaken the sofa, Cat was curled up like a ball near the TV, Andre was face down on a sleeping bag by the sofa and Beck and Jade somehow ended up on Cat's pink sleeping bag. Beck's head was propped up by two pillows and Jade was curled up next to him, her head on his chest.
He stroked her hair and remembered all the times that she had fallen asleep on him like this. It usually happened late at night in his RV while they watched the Scissoring, Jade's favorite movie, for the second time that night. Her excitement always died down near the ending of the movie on the second time that they watched it.
"Beck." Jade mumbled.
"Yeah?" Beck replied and looked at her sleeping figure. Jade didn't reply and it was then that he realized that she was talking in her sleep. Jade never talked in her sleep whenever they were together. This was relatively new to him.
Seeing as he couldn't really move yet, Beck reached for the remote which was luckily only inches away from him and switched off the DVD player. He then decided to watch TV for the meantime. He wanted a cold drink from the fridge and he couldn't really sleep yet.
"Beck." Jade mumbled again and rolled over, turning her back against Beck. Beck smiled at her sleeping figure. He was curious at what she was dreaming about that would involve her saying his name repeatedly. He slowly got up and went into the kitchen to get a cold glass of water. He was thirsty from eating salty chips with dip and popcorn and drinking a can of soda while watching the movie.
Beck sat on the kitchen counter while he drank his water. He sat there for awhile while his thoughts lingered on Jade. She was all that he could think of right now. He was glad that they were on good terms now but he wants them to be back together but under the circumstances that Jade was in now, that couldn't happen yet. He'll have to wait but it was always worth waiting when it came to her.
"Hi." Cat entered the kitchen with her stuffed giraffe at hand. She rubbed her eyes as she made her way to Beck.
"Hey, why are you up?" Beck asked as he gestured his little redheaded friend to sit next to him on the counter. Cat hopped onto the counter and sat next to Beck, swinging her legs on the edge.
"I wanted some chocolate milk." She smiled, "Do you have some?"
Beck hopped off the counter and opened the fridge. He held out a carton of chocolate milk. "Of course we do." He smiled.
"Yay!" Cat squealed and swung her legs faster with excitement.
Beck poured the milk into a glass then handed it to Cat. He put the carton back into the fridge and leaned against the kitchen island, facing Cat.
Meanwhile, Jade woke from her slumber noticing that Beck was no longer at her side. Shrugging it off, she started walking to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Her throat was dry from eating all the salty junk food. She was about to enter the kitchen when something made her stop in her tracks.
"Are you and Jade getting back together?" Cat asked as she sipped her chocolate milk.
Beck was taken aback by Cat's bluntness but he answered with complete honesty. He knew he could trust Cat and even if Cat would spill whatever he said to her to Jade, they'd end up talking about it anyway and he would accept whatever decision Jade would make about them, even if it meant that he couldn't have her back.
"No but I'm hoping that we would get back together." Beck replied.
"Me too. I like you guys together. You're like strawberry and lemonade." Cat smiled at him.
Jade was eavesdropping by the door. It was slightly open, just enough for her to see whatever was going on in the kitchen. She sat on the floor and had her back against the wall.
"I'm hoping to win her back. I really regret not opening that door. I should've never let her walk out on me like that. I hurt her and I hurt myself. I wish I could take it all back." Beck said. Cat just stared at him, both hands on the glass of chocolate milk that was now only half full.
"I hope that I could get her back. Let us be Beck and Jade again. But with what she's going through right now, I don't want to rush her. Right now, I just want to be there for her. Let her know that she can trust me and run to me whenever she needs to. When the time is right, I'll win her back, but for now, I just want to be there for her."
"That's so sweet." Cat smiled, "Jade's lucky to have you."
Beck smirked, "Alright. That's enough chocolate milk for you. We both need sleep now. Come on." He took the glass from her and put it on the counter then he carried the giggling Cat off the counter and set her down gently on the floor.
Jade quickly dashed back into the living room and positioned herself back to when Beck first left her, pretending to be asleep. She heard Cat hurriedly making her way back to join the sleeping crowd, Beck right behind her.
Cat settled onto the sleeping bag by the TV and closed her eyes, falling into a deep slumber. Beck took his spot next to Jade and switched off the TV. He then lay next to her and planted a soft kiss on the back of her head.
"I'll always love you, Jade." He whispered to her, unaware that she was awake and just pretending to be asleep. He then shut his eyes, letting memories of them together flood his mind.
Jade smiled at Beck's whispered sentiments. I'll always love you too, Beck. She replied in thought and with that she drifted off into dreamland.

(A/N): Did you like this chapter? Please review! Btw, how did you all react to Jade kissing Moose? I was definitely confused with my feelings. I was happy that she actually won and we got to see a bit of jealous Beck but I was also sad because I always thought she'd never kiss anyone else aside from Beck. I honestly am getting nervous about each episode that will come on now. My anxiety started when I first read the plot for Opposite Date before it aired. I'm just hoping that it'll all be okay when TSB&J airs.
Next chapter will be up soon! Please review! Love lots, Julie.
