I couldn't and wouldn't allow my self to sleep. Last night was my very first night with out Mason and it was hard. I missed watching him sleep only if it was for a little while. Through the mist of all of this between Beck and I Mason was my anchor. It turns out that 3 month olds are great listeners by the way. This is what it must have been like for Beck all this weekend. I have to admit that this whole 'taking a break' thing was going to be hard on me. But every time that I want to just forgive I cant forget what he did to me (even if he was drunk). This is all his fault for putting us in this situation in the first place. If he would have never cheated I would have never been hurt and we would have still been together living as one big happy family in the warmth of the RV. There was just no way that I would take him back in the matter of three days. So I'm starting my senior year at Hollywood Arts as a single mom. I honestly don't know how long it will take me to trust Beck again, but I hope for his sake it isn't long. But wait if we are on a break I'm giving every girl in this school an open invite to Hollywood's hottest father. But Beck is smart right? I mean he wouldn't just date the next bimbo that came around just cause we are through until I say so.

"Hey Jade." That kid Bailey greeted me as I took my seat next to him in my creative writing class.

I gave him a quick side wave as I got out my supplies. I am pretty sure that I'm in a-lot of trouble because of skipping yesterday. I hate the whole two nights a week thing, even though it was my Idea. It was just everything that Becks mom was saying was making me angry for some reason. I never planned on keeping Mason away from Beck forever. I just couldn't stand to see him for three days I guess. I didn't see Beck this morning before school started so I couldn't talk to him about changing the two nights thing. I think that one night is just fine. He'll get to see Mason everyday since his mom is watching him. My dad liked the idea of Mason staying with Becks mom during the day because it saved him money on the daycare. Thank god he had only paid for the first day.

"Where did you disappear to yesterday? You were on the roster for two more of my classes." Bailey exclaimed breaking my train of thought.

"None of your business." I replied backed bitterly. This took him off guard because he shook his head a little at my tone of voice.

"I'm sorry." He whispered lowering his head. I felt kind-of bad for him now which is a weird thing because lately I have only been feeling bad for my self (if that makes sense).

"I just didn't have the best day yesterday." I said hoping to give Bailey an answer to my bitterness.

"Well you didn't miss anything important except that the improve teacher dress like a hobo."

"So we have improve together and Sikowits has been dressing like that ever since I came here in the 8th grade so I am use to it. Don't worry after about a week you will get use to his madness." I spoke. I pulled out my schedule to check and see what period I had improve. Improve was also the only class that I couldn't get switched out of which meant that I had it with Beck. The class was the only senior advanced Improve class that they offered and there was o way out of it unless I wanted to drop improve all together(no way in hell).

"See 8th period. We also have chemistry together 4th period right before lunch." He pointed out the classes on my schedule.

I guess that having Beck at the end of the day wasn't a bad thing. It meant that I could follow him straight home after school to pick up Mason whenever it was my day to have him.

"So I want to ask you something?" he hesitated.

"Well what is it."

"I was wondering if you-" he wasn't trying to ask me out was he? I mean he was cute but I wasn't looking around for anyone. Beck and I just broke up and plus I have Mason.

I quickly cut him off, "Look I'm not going to go out with you if that is what your asking." I said hopefully killing his dreams of ever having a chance with me. Bailey look sort of taking back by my comment though.

"I wasn't going to ask you out, I already have a girlfriend. I just wanted to know If you could be my lab partner in chemistry that's all."

I took a deep breath, "I'm sorry and yeah sure ill be your partner. Who is your girlfriend?"

"She doesn't go here. Performing and creative arts aren't really her thing."

"Oh." Before her could respond the teacher walked in and class began. I managed to pay attention today and not stare at pictures of Mason and Beck. For senior year I would be writing a lot to help expand my portfolio for college. I don't even think that I would be going to college with Mason. I mean I wont be going anywhere big or major. There are nice community colleges that offer great degree plans in Los Angels that would allow me to fully take care of Mason.

Before I knew it class had ended and Bailey quickly left the class claiming that his next class was all the way on the other side of the building. According to my schedule I had calculus next so I headed to the math ward of the building. I managed not to run into any of my so called friends in the hall way on my way there. I ended up being the first one in the class, even the teacher wasn't here yet.

"You know for a mom you look pretty good." I heard a familiar voice behind me as I took out my calculus textbook. I turned around to see Ryder Daniels standing behind me. I couldn't look that good. I still felt fat even though everyone claimed that I looked like I never had a baby. Maybe it was my clothes. But I was only wearing my favorite black sweater, black skinny jeans, my combat boots, and a black beanie over my curly hair. maybe it was the hair extensions because I switched back to blue instead of green to go with my black hair. Wait, why was he still here in this school. He graduated last school year. I glared at him long and hard not even bothering to answer him.

"I know what your thinking 'why is Ryder Daniels still here at Hollywood Arts?' " he stated in a stupid tone. "Well to save you the trouble for asking I failed a semester last year which means that I'll be graduating in January."

"Wow so not only do you play girls your stupid too." I spat out at him.

"Jade you know we use to be friends before the whole Tori thing happened." I pulled out my phone to look at the time. Shit, we had five minutes till class started and their was no sign of any other students coming soon. Why did this school have such ling passing periods to get to class. Ryder stepped closer in my direction and set his backpack down in the desk behind mine.

"You call working on one stupid project together a friendship?" I questioned him.

I remember last year when I had my tech theater class we were paired to build a stage replica to showcase different light fixtures and stuff. While working on the project I learned that Ryder wasn't a bad guy. He and I actually had a lot of things in common like our love for the dark and scary movies. But then he played Tori and I never really talked to him again. Beck never liked Ryder even before the Tori thing. He overreacted when we Ryder and I had the project to work on. That's why it didn't surprise me when he got mad once he found out what happened to Tori.

"Come on Jade you know that you cant be mad at me for what happened with Tori. Wasn't she the one who kissed that boyfriend of yours on her second day of school?" I rolled my eyes at his rhetorical question. Along with me walking on Beck cheating on me the memory of Tori kissing Beck was something I wanted to never have happened. This just added more on to the reason why Beck and I were no longer Beck&Jade.

"He isn't my boyfriend anymore." I said taking my seat. I had to let people know that I wasn't with a cheater anymore. Wow when I think about it Beck technically cheated on me twice. Everyone said that it was only a stage kiss between him and Tori but it didn't feel like it to me. A few more students had started to fill in once the bell rang but still now teacher. Ryder took his seat behind me.

"What do you mean Beck and you are no longer together?" he whispered in my ear. I turned fully around in my seat to answer him.

"We aren't together anymore, okay?" I said angrily towards him.

"Whoa, no need for the attitude. So I'm guessing that the rumors I heard yesterday were true." He sighed sitting back in his seat.

"What do you mean be rumors?" I asked.

"Well I over heard this group of girls talking about how Beck cheated on you at Vega's back to school party last Friday. One of the girls in the group claimed that she was super close with the girl that gave Beck-"

"You don't have to tell me what happened. Did you hear how I walked in on it too." I said while my anger was rising. How did our split get all over the school already. I (I'm pretty sure that Beck didn't either besides his mom) talk to anyone outside of him about the events of Friday.

"I'm sorry Jade."

"For what?" I said rolling my eyes.

"That you had to go through that. You for sure are a girl that never deserves to be cheated or used. you have a kid too so i know that this must be hard on you." He had a real sincere look in his eyes. it made me think of the Ryder that I did the project with and not the Ryder who used Tori. He looked like he actually cared about my problems. Wow so far I am making a lot of great friends who are guys. I lost one and gained two.

"Where are you getting at?"

Before he could answer me the teacher walked in and class began.

I left before class not really wanting to talk to Ryder anymore. When I got out of class I spotted Beck from across the hall. He was laughing with Andre about something when I walked up to them . I gave Andre the leave glare.

"I'm going to let you two talk. Ill see you at lunch Beck." Andre quickly walked away leaving Beck and I.

"Hey Jade you look good." Beck said smiling at me. I looked down at my outfit. Did I really look that good? What up with the compliments today?

"Yeah um, this whole two nights thing isn't going to work." I wrapped my arms around my chest.

"I had a feeling that you were going to say that. Lets go one night a week then." I shook my head in agreement.

"How was he last night?" I asked now walking with Beck in the direction of my next class which was advanced English.

"He was perfect I even took a picture of him while he was sleeping. Here look-" he pulled out his phone and showed me a photo of Mason sleeping. He looked so peaceful and sweet. I hate that I couldn't see that last night for my self.

Beck saw the look on my face, "I will send it to you." I shook my head as a yes.

"Well I will see you after school." I said going to the door of my English class.

"Wait Jade where are we going to meet?" He asked catching up to me.

"We have improve together at the end of the day so that wont be a problem.

"Alright then." just like that he was off into the direction of his class. As I entered my class I had the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Tori Vega sitting in the desk. She turned around to look at me. She flashed me a brilliant smile and motioned for me to come sit next to her. Just when the day was going good it got a lot worse.
