Songs: Say You Like me by We The Kings
Like We Used To by A Rocket to the Moon
I don't own them :(
Beck's POV
I did nothing. I stood there like an idiot. I.. I never thought it would happen so fast. I mean, one second she was singing a song she wrote for me in the middle of the night, the next he was making out with some hot jerk in the janitor's closet! That was OUR closet. I remember times when we would make out there when we felt like it. This just.. hurts. I've never been jealous before. Is this what Jade feels whenever she sees me talking to Tori? Man, this isn't a pretty feeling. I might have been to hard on Jade then, guess.
If only there was some way to undo all this.. I hate seeing her with Ryder. Well, anyone else but me.
I heard my phone beep. I grabbed my PearPhone from my desk and checked it. It was a Slap update from Jade. I made my phone notify me whenever she does, so I could check what she's up to. Man, I am one stalker ex.
"Why are you stalking my Slap page?"
"Why do you care?"
"Why is Robbie's zipper down?"
I chuckle at the memory. It was the first time we were in the same room since we broke up. Well, except for Sikowitz's classes.
"I DID NOT MADE OUT WITH RYDER DANIELS IN THE JANITOR'S CLOSET. I'M NOT DATING HIM EITHER. SO SHUT UP, NOSY PEOPLE! SOMEONE FIND SINJIN AND BRING HIM TO ME!"Her recent update said.
Relief washed over me. She didn't make out with him! She isn't dating him! Can't believe I was sulky the whole afternoon for nothing. I lay down my bed and put my arms under my head, then decided what to do next..

"Beck!" Sikowitz calls me the next morning.
"Present!" I say. "You're going to perform in the Full Moon Jam!"
"Huh? Me? Isn't it like a performance SINGERS should do?"
"Yes, but! You haven't shown your full potential in singing yet. And I'm interested!" he tells me, excited, sipping his usual coconut.
"Uh, I don't think I should.."
"What? Is Becky scared?" he asks me sounding like a five-year old, batting his eyelashes. "Hey, Jade! I thought your boyfriend was UNSCARABLE."
Jade glared at him. He then noticed his mistake. He opened his mouth to say something but I guessed it would be something stupid, so I went on ahead of him.
"Fine. I'll do it."

"Hey, Beck. Need a singer with you for the Full Moon Jam?" Tori suggests, winking at me playfully. We were sitting at our usual table at the Asphalt Café. I see Ryder is still hanging out with Jade and Cat, laughing even.
"Nah, Tori. Thanks though." Tori looked disappointed, but I really need to sing this song on my own. "But I do need your help in this one, Andre." I say to my bestfriend, facing him.
"Sure, dude." He answers
"They sure look happy." Robbie comments enviously, looking at the laughing trio that included my ex-girlfriend.
"I still can't believe they're hanging out with Ryder." Tori declares.
"I can't believe he would hang around the Wicked Witch of the West." Rex says.
"I can't believe they wouldn't let me hang with them!" says Robbie.
"I can't believe Jade is laughing." Andre comments. We all look at him, and nod in agreement.
"I can't believe she's with him and not with me." I thought to myself.

Jade's POV
"Hey. You look queasy." I tell ryder. We were sitting on pull-up chairs, covered in blankets, waiting for the show to start. Cat went to get some popcorn.
"Oh. Well it's just that in my last Full Moon Jam, I was humiliated on that stage, in front of everyone, by that girl over there." He tells me, pointing at Vega, five seats to my left.
I laugh. "Oh yeah. I watched."
"Oh, that's right! YOUR boyfriend bounced me." He tells me teasingly, tugging my ponytail.
"Hey! You can't do that!" I punched his arm. I flinch. Whoa, his arms were hard.
"Hey, guys! I got popcorn! AND pretzels!" "Fine, Cat. Just sit down. The show's starting."
It was boooring. Well, not really. Ryder and I were laughing at them. Cat kept telling us we were mean, but she was sometimes giggling along with us. Tori sang a pop song, I didn't really bother to know what the title was, but Cat and I kept teasing Ryder about it. What I was surprised about was when Sinjin began to sing. He had his loser friends as his band. He was.. pretty good?
"She's the girl that no one ever knows.
And I say hi, but she's too shy to say hello.
She's just waiting for that one to take her hand
And shake her up.
I bet I could."
He was looking at me then. Staring, even. What the chiz?
Some girls even cheered. Wow.
"I wish my heart was always on her mind.
'Cause she's on mine like all day, all the time.
Forget me not, forget me now.
I've come too far to turn around.
I'm here tonight."
Cat and Ryder were bickering. Ugh. I glare at the stupid blonde.
"'Cause I'm never going down,
I'm never giving up.
I'm never gonna leave,
So put your hands up.
If you like me,
Then say you like me.
I'm never going down,
I'm never giving up.
I'm never gonna leave,
So put your hands up.
If you like me,
Then say you like me."
He was staring at me the whole time.
"It's time to fall into my arms.
'Cause I've been waiting for too long.
You're an angel,
Grab your halo,
And lets fly tonight.
'Cause I'm never going down,
I'm never giving up.
I'm never gonna leave,
So put your hands up.
If you like me,
Then say you like me.
I'm never going down,
I'm never giving up.
I'm never gonna leave,
So put your hands up.
If you like me,
Then say you like me.
Just say you like me."
He was standing there, holding the mic, staring at me.
He was waiting for an answer.
"No." I tell him bitterly, that was kinda sweet though.. He ran backstage. Cat and Ryder roared with laughter.
"Shut up!" I shout in a loud voice so everyone can hear me.
"Beck Oliver!" someone then announced. I flinch. "This should be interesting" Ryder says. Cat holds my hand, and looks at me encouragingly. She knows how I still feel about him. He appeared onstage with an electric guitar. He had Andre's band.
"Hey, I'm Beck." he says. A lot of girls shriek. I roll my eyes.
"Uh, I know I'm not a singer and all.." he continued. "But this is a song I wrote for someone I know." He then glanced at me. What? My heart skipped a beat.
He started playing.
"I can feel her breath as she's sleepin' next to me,
Sharing pillows and cold feet.
She can feel my heart, fell asleep to its beat,
Under blankets and warm sheets.
If only I could be in that bed again…
If only it were me instead of him…
Does he watch your favorite movies?
Does he hold you when you cry?
Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times?
Does he sing to all your music while you dance to "Purple Rain?"
Does he do all these things, like I used to?"
He looks at me and continues singing. He keeps eye contact with the audience too.. A lot of girls shrieked as he sang.
"Fourteen months and seven days ago…
Oh, I know you know,
How we felt about that night.
Just your skin against the window…
Oh, we took it slow,
And we both know…
It should've been me inside that car.
It should've been me instead of him… in the dark."
Flashbacks play in my head.. Ugh. I fight back tears. Once again, I feel everyone's eyes on me.
"Does he watch your favorite movies?
Does he hold you when you cry?
Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times?
Does he sing to all your music while you dance to "Purple Rain?"
Does he do all these things, like I used to?"
Cat squeezed my hand. I smile at her slightly.
All throughout the song, he kept glancing at me. What is it with dudes and songs tonight?
"I know, love, (I'm a sucker for that feeling.)
Happens all the time, love, (I always end up feelin' cheated.)
You're on my mind, love, (or so that matter when I need it.)
It happens all the time- love, yeah.
What the hell are these lyrics? He made this?
Will he love you like I loved you?
Will he tell you everyday?
Will he make you feel like you're invincible with every word he'll say?
Can you promise me if this is right:
Don't throw it all away?
Can you do all these things?
Will you do all these things…
Like we used to?
Oh, like we used to…"
He's looking at me like I could melt.. No. NO.
I didn't know what to do. I feel tears stream down my face. I run away from the scene..
Please review!
