Hey, guys! Thank you for the reviews! Badefan, I'll try. haha Kat! Thank you sooo much! The review was more than enough :) Thank you, Crazywoobie. Aaand TheDreamer006. :D How could I forget? :) Thanks. Uh, pardon this chapter..


I run back inside the school, tears falling from eyes. I found myself sitting on the steps in the middle of the hall. I was sobbing. He wrote that song? For me? WHY? I lost hope in us ever since that night before the Platinum Awards. The night he tried to kiss her.

But he sang all those memories.. All those memories I was trying to forget.. And it pained me to listen. It pained me to hear all that we've been through, and that things will never be the same again. And no, not the good kind.

"Jade!" Ryder came after me, panting. "What was that about? Why'd you runaway?"

"Because I hate him, Ryder! I hate him!" I wail.

He sat on the steps, and put an arm around me. "You don't hate him. You still have feelings for him."

"It's what makes me hate him more."

"Look, he sang you a song about how he's hurt. About us. He thinks we're together. That you've replaced him. He still cares." he says

"Well it's the other way around! Why should he care huh?"

We were interrupted by Beck's sudden arrival.

"What are you doing here?" I growl at him.

"Jade, let's talk."

"I don't want to." I glare at him. Tori, Cat, Andre, and Robbie had come. They all looked nervous.

"Jadey!" Cat cried, running into my side.

"Please.. Just leave me alone." I tell the others.

"Why? Cause you're happy with this douchebag?" Beck growled.

"Oh, don't start." Ryder says, standing up.

Tori raises an eyebrow "Really? Well, I think you started all this."

"Really now?" Ryder taunts Tori.

"Yeah! If you hadn't grinded with Jade in the first place, this wouldn't have happened!" she shouts at him.

"Stay out of this, Vega." I tell her, standing up. So does Cat.

"You're siding with him, Jade?" she says "Oh yeah! You enjoyed it."

"That's it." I went up to her spot and bitchslapped her. She fell on the floor. Everyone was shocked. Robbie shrieked. "Oh, that's how it is." Tori says, standing up. She launched herself towards me, pulling my hair. I do the same. I hit her head hard, then Ryder, Beck, and Andre tore us apart. Her nails dug into my arm as they pulled us. Cat was crying. "Stop this! Jade, calm down." Beck says.

"Oh. So you're siding with her. AGAIN. No surprise there!" I scoff. Tears fall from my eyes cause of both anger and hurt.

"What are you talking about?" he asks, astounded.

"You always side with her. You wouldn't hear my side. Even when we were still dating. It was ALWAYS her!" Everyone grew silent, even Tori. Cause everyone knew, I was right.

"Come on, let's get out of here." I tell Ryder and Cat, wiping my tears. I walk away, but Beck caught my arm. "Ow!" I say involuntarily. Beck looked surprised. He lifted his hand and checked my arm. He saw my wounds from Tori's nails.

"Oh. Jade. I'm sorry." He says.

"It's fine." I cross my arms, covering the scratches.

"Look, Jade, I think the two of you should talk." Andre says, breaking the silence.

I let out a sigh. "What do you want, Beck?"

"You know what I want, Jade."

"No, I don't! And what the hell was that about?" I gesture my hand to the parking lot.

"I wrote that song.. for you. Cause I.. I miss you." he says gently

"Well you're not allowed to miss me." I snap

"I know" He steps in closer to me. "I want you back, Jade."

"No. Don't pull that crap on me, Beck." I say, stepping back.

"I'm serious, Jade. That's why I wrote the song. To let out my feelings, cause I know I haven't been open about them. I really want you back."

"WELL, I DON'T WANT YOU BACK!" I scream at him. He froze. I see tears swelling up in his eyes. I heard Cat whimper.

His hands were shaking. "I.. I still love—"

"Don't you dare tell me you still love me! We both know that's a load of crap!" I cut him off before he could finish. Tears stream down my face now.

"Wha-What are you-?" he asks, confused.

"I SAW YOU TRY TO KISS TORI, BECK!" I shout at him, more tears come. He froze.

"You WHAT?" Andre questioned, sounding astounded. Tori flinched.

"I.. I'm sorry, Jade." He started, looking shocked.

"And she was the one who said 'no'. She refused because of me! Then you talked crap about me!" I continued. "And now, you sing me a song and tell me you still love me? Bullshit!"

Both Tori and Robbie looked shocked. Ryder looked worried.
What surprised everyone was Cat. She went up in front of Beck and slapped him.

"Why would you do that, Beck!" she cried. "I thought you loved Jadey!" She started pounding on Beck's chest, crying loudly like a child. Robbie was crying on the side too.

"Cat I—" Beck tried to apologize.

"What? WHAT?" It pained me to see Cat cry in front of Beck like that. She was like a daughter in the middle of a fight between her parents. I remember the times she and Robbie would pretend that Beck and I were their parents..

"Andre, can you take Cat? Maybe Beck and I should talk alone.."

"NO!" Cat screamed, still wailing and pounding on Beck's chest. Andre looked at me worriedly.

"Please. I don't want her to faint again." I say. He nodded and started to carry Cat.

"No! Jadeyy!" she tried to get to me, but to no avail.

"Please, Cat." I tell her.

"Okay.." she says sadly, letting Andre carry her away. The rest followed them out. Tori gave us a sorry look.

.

I sat on the steps again. He followed. "Jade I.. I'm sorry. It was a terrible mistake. If there was a way to take it all back, I would."

I shake my head. "There isn't. Which is why we should move on. I know it isn't easy but.." I started sobbing. "..we have to try. It just hurts me whenever I remember, Beck. I.. I can't handle this right now. I need space."

Beck sobbed now. It's the first time I've seen him like this. I hug him, I couldn't help it. He hugs me back, burying his face in my shoulder.

"Who knows? Maybe one day, we'll find our way back to each other again.." I whisper in between sobs, trying to chuckle. So did he, but then he cried harder.

"Don't give up on me, Jade." He held me tighter.

"I'm.. I'm not. We're.. We're just taking a beat. Okay?" I try to say in between sobs. I feel him nod.

I pull away and got something from my pocket: Our promise ring. I've always had it with me. I put it in his hand.

"I think you should keep this.." I say. He rested his forehead against mine, breathing uneven. He whispered a vow we kept to one another the day we got our promise rings in between sobs.

"I vow to love you, and no matter what challenges might carry us apart.. We will always find a way back to each other." I cry harder at that. Why were these memories always too painful?
He then tries to kiss my lips, but I don't let him. So instead, he kissed my wound, then my forehead.

"I'll love you from start to finish, Beckett." I whispered to him before walking away.


So.. Do you guys hate it? I'm sorry. I just don't want Jade to give in to him just like that. Not after TGP :(( Don't worry! BADE FOREVER!
