Sorry it's been sooo long but I've been super busy with some stuff at home. Trying to get back on track. Yay. Wish me luck ;) Also I was re-reading some of my other chapters and I realised I made stupid little mistakes. Sorry about that. Sometimes my keys get stuck and for examples instead of typing your it will come out you. Sorry :( Enjoy the chapter.
Jade looked at herself in her dressing room mirror. She looked so plain without her makeup and extensions. But she knew playing Caroline would come with its downside. She was an actress after all so it didn't matter. Her eyes flickered down to her shoes. Nathaniel had allowed her to wear flats as she didn't like walking in heels. It still looked good though. She turned her attention to her dress. It was an old-fashioned, violet one. It wasn't as bad as Cat's dress. Cat's was pink. Jade hated pink. She pulled the dress over her head and adjusted it to fit perfectly. That's when two hands wrapped around her waist and a pair of warm lips brushed against her neck. She slowly pried his hands off of her and turned to face him. Beck looked stunning in his costume. The smart black tuxedo with the bow tie. He took hold of her hands and stood for a while gazing at her. "My eyes are up here honey." Jade drew Becks eyes upwards to her face.
"And what beautiful...eyes they are." Jade shot beck a look and then turned back to apply some lipstick. "Don't use too much princess. I don't want it rubbing of when we kiss." Beck laughed but Jade just faced him and smiled.
"Maybe now I'll use extra!" She returned to applying her makeup. That's when he began to rub her back. He had to control himself. Her dress wasn't zipped fully up yet but he knew to stay safe. He zipped up the back of her dress and rested his head on her shoulder. "Like what you see?" She teased him. He nodded and kissed her cheek. Then she turned her head and kissed his lips with her freshly painted ones. "Grab a rag and wipe you face boy!" She threw him the rag of her dresser and he wiped of the remainder of her lipstick. Afterwards he leaned against the wall to watch her finish getting ready.
"I don't think purples your colour." He smirked to himself as she ignored his comment. Jade West could wear any colour. He knew that but he also knew she was easy to irritate.
"Well keep saying that and we'll find out if it's yours!" He looked at her confusingly and she raised her fist to indicate a punch. Nice. Suddenly Beck's phone bleeped.
From: Andre
Your GF's looking for ya man. Where are you?
Beck quickly replied.
To: Andre
I'll be there in a sec keep her busy..
He glanced back at Jade. How long could they keep this a secret? Lane knew. Andre knew. That was it. All Beck knew is that Marissa would eventually know. He just needed time. Try to get her to dump him. Like that would happen. "Hey babe I gotto go Andre texted, girlfriends looking for me." The sentence sounded wrong but it was true. She frowned. Then hugged him. They stayed like that for a couple seconds before she pulled away.
"See you on the stage Damien." She smirked and walked off to use the bathroom.
Outside Marissa stood arguing with Cat. "WHERE'S BECK!" She screamed. "I KNOW YOU KNOW!" Cat looked back at her like a lost puppy and began to cry, running off like a baby. Suddenly Beck put a hand on Marissa's shoulder.
"You should go easy on her." Marissa glanced at him for a second. Then she turned her attention towards her phone.
"Where were you?" He shrugged. "I've been here for ten minutes!" She screeched again. He gave her an apologetic look then she stormed off. Man he hated that girl. But Beck liked to keep his face intact. She had been in a mood with him ever since last week where he shouted at her. What she did to Jade was damn right mean. And totally uncalled for. I mean sure Jade threw a rock at her face, but still. He began to think. If Marissa hadn't of done it he would never have kissed Jade. He thanked Marissa in his mind. She clearly had some talent for making guys cheat on their girlfriends.
"Five minutes. Five Minutes!" Nathaniel was panicked. He had never been so behind schedule in his life. Sinjin was having issues with the lighting. Cat couldn't find her dress and Beck and Jade were nowhere to be seen. Great! He ran around asking for them. That's when he caught sight on Lane. "Lane...Help me! I'm behind schedule and I have no idea where Beck and Jade are..." he was almost in tears. "Have you seen them?"
Lane squirted some lotion on his hands. "No today but if you do find them remind them they have detention tomorrow" He looked up from his lotion and was curious by Nathaniel's puzzled look.
"Why did you give them detention." He asked
"Well I caught them...You know. Lip licking." Nathaniel looked back at him.
"What?" He had no idea what Lane was talking about.
"You know...The old spit swapping." He smirked again
"Excuse me?"
"Making out!" Lane looked back at Nathaniel. His attempts to be clever failed miserably. "They were really getting into it."
"Beck Oliver and Jade West?"
"No Jade Oliver and Beck West..What do you think."
"Wow. I thought they were just really good actors..." He laughed to himself. Suddenly he remembered a conversation he eased dropped between two students. "Wait Beck's dating Marissa Carlton." Lane looked back at him.
"Really. Wow should we tell someone." Lane giggled to himself like a young school boy.
"We shouldn't get involved."
"No"
"But we're going to aren't we?"
"Yup!" They ran off together backstage. When they got backstage they barged into Becks dressing room only to find him and Jade sharing a passionate kiss. "Well are we interrupting something!" Nathaniel smiled as Lane pulled the two apart.
"We're just practicing." Jade spat,
"Looks like it." Nathaniel laughed then walked over to the pair. "Listen I'm cool with your secret thing... Just don't let it ruin the show." He skipped off happily leaving Lane feeling awkward as Beck and Jade kissed again.
The show began promptly at 7.30pm. The seats were filled with teachers, students and family members. Everyone was excited for one of the first plays of the year. Everyone had worked so hard on it and the setting and costumes looked amazing. People couldn't wait to see it. The show started with Cat and Jade singing about their trip. They were best friends and had saved enough money to go on a luxury train journey to Washington. Then it showed Beck's character and his mother. Who was played by the talentless Trina Vega. Coincidentally they gave her a non singing role. Anyway Becks character gave a speech about how he didn't want to go on this trip. He knew that his mother would keep pestering him about starting a family. Then when they arrived on the train Trina accused Jade of stealing her suitcase. Then there was this big pandemonium and a song. Some dancing. When the chaos died down the scene cut to Jade hiding in Becks room but he couldn't see her.
Beck
how many times will I wait for the train?
To take me away to be happy
how many times will I fail to find love
Before Mother agrees that I'm hopeless.
Jade
How many nights will I cry myself away
Till my eyes run as dry as my life
How many times will my heart have to break
By a man so heartless its saddens me.
Both
How many ways
how long will I wait
how many days
before time catches Fate.
Beck
What if this nightmare.
Jade
what if this terrible...
Both
Thing turns to dust
with all of my lust
I must I must...
Find a love.
Jade
someone to hold me...
Then Beck hears the sound and discovers her. At this point half of the audience were in tears. It was all so realistic. As if the two people were in love. Duh they were. But the audience didn't know that. Beck reached his hand out and pulled Jade out from the place she'd been hiding in. "You...you took my mother's bag!" He said softly.
"I did not. She lies. Your mother is a liar!"
"My mother is...It doesn't matter."
"What? What is your mother?"
"She is a fool."
"I don't understand!"
"She takes me on all these wonderful trips hoping I will find a rich woman."
"Oh. I'm sorry for you."
"It's okay." Beck looks deeply into Jades eyes. "You are very beautiful." Marissa squirmed in her seat watching the show. That should've been her up there. "You make me forget what I'm saying."
"You said about your mother."
"Forget my mother. Meet me."
"Meet you? Where"
"Tonight for..." Becks voice is cut off by Elis voice echoing over the speakers.
"Ladies and gentleman there have been some issues with the train. Could all passengers return to their own carriages for a head count?" Beck grabbed Jades hand. Then Cat bursts in the pull Jade away.
"What is your name?" He yells as she gets dragged out.
"Caroline... Caroline Parr." Then she is gone.
The show continues with more scenes about how Jade is arrested and put in a train car at the end of the train for prisoners. She gets trapped in there with and old man who finds her gorgeous? She starts crying and then Beck bursts in. He picks her up and pulls her into his arms. This is followed by awws from the audience and the odd scoff from Marissa. Suddenly Sinjins effect team hit a button and the sound of a train car derailing filled the room. Then Elis voice beckons over again. "There's been a major problem. The end car of the train has derailed and is speeding down the track at an uncontrollable speed!" Beck and Jade don't react to this they just stay in the arms of each other.
"Don't leave me." Beck said as he pulled Jade in for a kiss. Marissa's mouth dropped open as she screamed and left the theater. They kissed for about 8 seconds before pulling away.
"I love you Damien Macyntire" Said Jade. She remained in character and waited for Becks next line.
"And I love you...Jade West!"
HAHAHAHAHA I'm evil. Cliff hanger. So it was a long chapter. Wasn't supposed to be!
Next time- Beck tries to explain himself. NOT GIVING ANYMORE AWAY!
