Chapter 12. As most of you have noticed, I don't update very often. I have school and stuff, and I'm sorry. 7th Grade is stressful. But I'm updating now! I would much rather write my story all day than go to school. But you can't…*sigh*
Jade's POV:
Oh God. I messed up. I broke two promises, to my best friend. To Cat Valentine. I cut myself. I had promised I wouldn't. Cat saw me beat Tori up. I also promised Cat I would never fight again. It made her scared of me, and I hated when that happened. I need to explain. We still sat in the small room above the auditorium.
"Cat, can I explain? Please?" I looked at her, we both had tears in our face. She just nodded in agreement.
"Tori, Marissa, and Ashley…they were…they said that…" I trailed off.
"They said what?" Cat asked, expression filled with fear, sorrow, and hurt. She stroked the back of my hand with her thumb.
I pulled out my PearPhone and pulled up the video that Beck had recorded and sent me. I handed her the phone. She pressed play and I saw her expression change from grim to shocked. When the video ended, she looked mad. Really mad. She stood up and threw a roll of paper towels across the room. I stiffened.
"Jade, you can't let them do that. When Erica used to bully me, it was never that bad."
"But I got in a fight with her anyways." I rolled my blue-green eyes, feeling disappointed in my self.
Cat softened and took a sheet of paper towels. She poured some water from her water bottle onto it and gently started to clean the dry blood off my wrists and hands. We stared at each other in silence. We leaned in at the same time. As our lips touched I heard the door opened. We turned around and saw Beck's astonished face in the doorway.
Beck's POV:
I entered the auditorium, looking for Jade. I climbed the steel ladder and made my way to the tiny door. As I opened it, the sight made my jaw drop. Jade and Cat, both with makeup running down their faces, making out. They turned to face me, eyes wide.
"Beck I-" Jade began.
"Hey," I cut her off. "Cat. Can Jade and I talk please?" I looked at her, still a little shocked about what I had just seen.
When Cat exited, I turned to Jade.
"Why were you and Cat…uh…" I trailed off. The last thing I expected was for Jade to burst into tears.
I said nothing. Just walked to her and held her close. She cried into my shirt, leaving wet mascara on it, but I didn't care. Then I saw the fresh cuts on her arms.
"Jade." It came out almost as a whisper. She raised her large, beautiful eyes and looked straight into mine. She quickly glanced at her wrists.
"Beck, I'm so sorry. I didn't want to I swear! It's just so hard to-" I cut her off with a kiss. A kiss that meant I was sorry for not going straight after her. A kiss that meant I'm sorry I'm not the perfect boyfriend. A kiss that meant I will always love you. She seemed to get the message. We spent the rest of the school day up in that room, cuddled up together, finally happy, even in our dysfunctional lives. We weren't perfect. We had our flaws. But I guess that's what made us imperfectly perfect.
Hey, guys. Sadly, this is the end of this story. But I will be making a new one very soon. It might be a sequel but I might make something totally different. It will be a Bade or Cade story. If you've read my profile, you know I hate Bori more than Taylor Swift.
