Here is the next Chapter. Hope you enjoy. I need ideas for K, N, O, and P. If you have any ideas, please leave them in the comments. Thanks.


J is for Juice:

Every time he thought Jade was getting sick, Beck would look for one of her giveaways. She had quite a few he had learned over the past few years. Sometimes she would get very quiet and less aggressive. This was usually when she was sad or needed to talk to him. Other times she would wear her hair pulled back several days in a row. This was usually when she was starting to get a fever. The days she wore 100% black were dead giveaway that she had either a headache or migraine.

However, the one he noticed on this particular day was one that happened when she was coming down with either a cold or stomach flu. She would leave her coffee in his car in the mornings and instead buy a bottle of apple juice from the vending machines.

Today was one of those days. He, however, had learned the last time to be prepared, always grabbing a bottle of the low-sugar apple juice she liked out of his fridge just in case she wanted it. When she climbed into his car, she glanced at the coffee, but didn't pick it up. He noticed and handed her the bottle of juice from in his bag. She looked at him for a second before opening it and taking a small sip.

"Thanks," she said, screwing the lid back on.

"You're welcome," he said, "Now what's bothering you?"

"How do you know something's bothering me?" she asked, looking at him.

"Because I know you," he said, "You only don't drink coffee if you are getting a cold or if your stomach is upset, so which is it?"

"Oh," she said, furrowing her brow, realizing he knew her better than she knew herself, "My stomach feels a little off, now that you mention it, but I hadn't really noticed. I just didn't want the coffee."

"Well," he said, as they pulled into the school, "the juice is one of you tells. Come on. If you start to feel crappy, let me know and I can take you home, ok. She nodded, taking another sip of her juice before putting it in her bag and grabbing his hand as they headed into the school.

They went through the day and just as Beck had prepared for, by the end of the day, Jade's stomach was starting to give her problems. He bought her another juice as they left school, handing it to her as they got into the car.

"Thanks," she said, unscrewing the cap, "I needed this."

"I know," he said, "When you get sick, you always drink that stuff."

"Yeah," she said, leaning back against the seat and closing her eyes, "Can we go back to your place? I think I am getting sick and I don't want to deal with my mom."

"I wouldn't have it any other way," he said, running his hand over her hair before taking her hand.

"I love you," she said, tears in her eyes, "You know everything I need and you make me feel so special."

"I love you too," he said, kissing her hand, "Now let's get you to bed."

She nodded as he helped her into the RV. She spent the next two days with an awful stomach bug that kept her in the bathroom for over twenty hours. He was by her side the whole time, giving her juice and holding back her hair. She recovered and he was relieved she was ok. That is, until the next time she asked for the juice.
