Chapter 9

A/N: Hey guys! Thanks to everyone who has reviewed! I really appreciate it! Here's the new chapter (:

Jade sat in the car, the silence slowly becoming awkward. She sighed in relief when he broke it. "So Jade… How are you today?"

Jade sat up a little. "I'm… Fine thanks. How are you?"

He looked at her but she looked away. "I'm good thanks. Why, uhm… Why only fine?" Jade turned her head to look at him, and felt her heart stop a little. She was staring into the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. She saw how the little curls in his hair fell softly around his forehead and the full lips that she just wanted to kill with kisses.

'Stop it Jade!' She argued against herself, and looked away again. "Uhm, nothing bad really… Just broke up with my boyfriend."

She swore she could see him smile a little, but it was gone just as fast as it came. "Oh… I'm sorry…"

"Don't worry… It's been coming for a while." Afterwards, they drove in silence again until they pulled up to a restaurant called Nozu. He got out of his side of the car and went over to open the door for her. She jumped a bit when the door opened, not realizing what's happening around her. "Oh… thanks," she said as she got out.

They walked into the restaurant, and instantly the colours bothered Jade. Brian seemed to notice it. "You okay?" he asked her.

"Yeah, just don't like the pink hue on the walls."

He chuckled a bit and led her to a black booth in the back. "Better?" he asked her.

"Much." He chuckled again, and she couldn't help but smile at his little laugh. She slid into the booth and watched as he slid into the opposite side of her.

The rest of the night seemed to pass by quickly as they talked and laughed, and soon enough it was already past eleven o' clock. Brian paid the bill, and they walked back to his car. They continued talking until he pulled up into Cat's driveway.

He got out and walked Jade to the door. "I had a lot of fun."

She smiled and pulled a piece of her hair behind her ear. "I…had fun too."

They stood there for what felt like eternity, but were only a few seconds, before he leaned in a bit closer. Jade pulled away a bit, and he pulled away too. She felt disappointed in herself for pulling away. She really liked this guy. He was different than any other.

'Let your guard down Jade. Don't let him go.' She told herself. Smiling, she moved in a bit closer, and saw him smile too. She moved closer until their lips were only inches apart. He smiled and put his hand on her face, softly cupping her cheek, and went in all the way until their lips met. The kiss lasted for about five seconds before he pulled away. They smiled at each other in silence, savouring the moment they had right there.

Later that night Jade sat on Cat's balcony. The redhead had fallen asleep about twenty minutes ago, after about thirty minutes of nagging Jade on what happened on her date.

She looked up at the moon, smiling to herself. She never knew she would fall this fast, especially not for someone who's not Beck. No, Brian was certainly not Beck. He was different, better. He made her smile more tonight than she had ever smiled in her life.

She pulled Cat's guitar onto her lap and picked at the strings. She had finished a new song about five minutes ago, feeling like she fully captured what she's feeling for Brian. She softly sang to herself.

Your blue eyes sparkle when you laugh I know I just can't get enough The melodies on your guitar play through me like no one else can

I'm alive with you You're the reason I breathe But when you go I fall to pieces

I only breathe when I'm with you I only smile when I think of you I only wish that I was with you The only one I trust is you The only one is you

The feeling cuts me like a knife And I've never put up much a fight The words you say run through my brain like the voices calling your name

I'm alive with you You're the reason I breathe But when you go I fall to pieces

I only breathe when I'm with you I only smile when I think of you I only wish that I was with you The only one I trust is you The only one is you

I will run to the ends of the earth just to find you I will fight until I'm numb just to have you I will do everything in my power just to keep you And the promise that I'll make says that I love you, cause

I only breathe when I'm with you I only smile when I think of you I only wish that I was with you The only one I trust is you The only one is you

Only one is you The only one is you It's you You're the one

She stopped singing and looked back at the moon, when reality hit her. She's a broken girl with self-harming issues and an abusive dad. Why would Brian love her? No guy would love someone like her.

That's probably why Beck went for Tori, because she's less of a hassle. She picked up her phone and looked at the good night text she had gotten from Brian.

I really had fun tonight. Good night Jadey. Sweet dreams xx –B

She sighed and put her phone away as she walked back into Cat's room to try and get some sleep.

I know it's still short but I'm working on it (: Oh yeah, and the song used is called Only One Is You. It is also one of my songs, so I own copyright to it. I just figured it would be easier and more original using my own songs :P
