A/N: Hi I'm here with another chapter. This one is called Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. I love this song and I think this is the best chapter yet. Hope you like it let me know what you think.

Chasing Cars
I've been pacing my R.V for 15mins now. Tonight was the Full Moon Jam. My date with Meredith didn't go so well. I could never see myself with anyone like that. I could never be with someone that does everything to make me happy, that would just be boring. I need a girl that will disagree with me, argue with me, and fight with me. She has to be bossy and have a big mouth. A personality like that keeps me grounded. Jade preformed her song tonight. As always she sang it beautifully. But the best part was that she sang it to me, her song was all for me. Afterwards the whole gang went to Nozu to celebrate. As everyone was getting ready to leave. I leaned over and whispered in Jade's ear. "Come to the R.V later." She didn't say anything, just continued to get her things. We were all outside saying our goodbyes. As I was walking to my car Jade came up to me and said in a low voice only I would hear. "I have to take Cat home, then I'll be over." With that she got into her car and left. Once I got into my car I smiled to myself and drove home.
So here I am pacing back and forth. I know that I was stupid for letting her go. She's the only one that understands me and knows the real me. She's the love of my life. It's her, its always been her, it will always be her. I don't know how she feels. I mean I know she wrote a song for me but that doesn't mean she wants me back. Jade was never good at showing her feeling, so she writes songs to get them out. There was a loud thud at my door and I automatically know it's Jade. The butterflies start going crazy in my stomach. I take a deep breath and mentally prepare myself. It's now or never, I have to let her know how I really feel.
I walk over to the door and stare at it. I run a hand through my hair and place the other one on the handle to open it. Usually Jade just walks in and makes herself at home but she hasn't been here in months. We both stand there awkwardly not sure as to what to do. Finally Jade being Jade she rolls her eyes. "Are you going to let me in or are you just going to stand there and stare at me like an idiot?" I chuckle lightly and move to the side and motion with my hands for her to come in.
"Well aren't you such a gentlemen." She says with sarcasm.
I roll my eyes playfully and close the door. I walk over and join her on my bed. We sit there silently for a few minutes. I can't speak for Jade but there is so much I want/have to say I just don't know where to start. So I just say the first thing that comes to mind. "You sang beautifully."
"You already told me that...but thanks."
"So the song was that for...did you write that..." I'm finding it hard to ask her if she wrote that for me, I mean I was so sure earlier but what if she didn't.
"You want to know if I wrote that for you or because of you?"
"Yeah." I put my head down, I can't look at her.
"Yeah. I wrote it for you and sang it for you."
"Jade I just want to say I'm sorry. I was a jerk and I don't deserve you but the time we spent apart made me realize what I had. I guess the says is true, 'you don't know what you have until it's gone.' I realized you're everything to me. I just want another chance, another chance to show you that I love you and only you. Another chance to prove everyone wrong, that out love will last forever." Jade doesn't respond but I can tell she's taking everything I just said in. "We'll do it all, travel the world together, become famous together, start a family together, everything! We'll do it all on our own, no help from anybody."
"Beck we're kids, we can't do it on our own. We don't have money and we have friends that wont leave us alone."
"We don't need anything or anyone. We'll just start at the bottom and work our way up. We can do this. I will be just me and you against the world. And you know when it's me and you, we're unstoppable." I said with a smile on my face but my smile quickly faded looking at Jade's face. She has a look of uncertainty.
She got up and walked over to the other side of my R.V. "Beck...I don't know...I just...don't know."
I walked over to her, afraid she might run for the door and leave. "Ok answer me this. If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?" She doesn't say anything just continues to look at the ground. "Look I don't quite know how to express myself. I don't know who to say how I feel but I love you."
Her head snaps up and she looks at me with sad expression. "Those three words are said to much. My parents throw those words around all the time but it means nothing to them, it's all for show. And the day we broke up you said those word to me also. So those words" she shakes her head slightly. "they're not enough anymore. Everyone was right, we are to young for this to last."
"No, forget what we're told. I want to start my life with you before we get to old. I want to give you everything you deserve."
"I don't need everything Beck. I just...I want to feel something real. I want to see something amazing, something beautiful. Show me a garden bursting into life. Maybe then I'll have hope that something amazing can exist in this world."
"You've seen something beautiful and amazing, our love was beautiful and amazing and it can be again. I want it to be like it was before. Let's waste time doing nothing but enjoying each others company before the fights, before the arguing, back when it was just me and you and no one else." I can see her walls are starting to break but not completely.
"Our relationship was like chasing cars around our heads. It was frustrating, and irritating, and no matter what we could never catch that forever mark."
I shake my head at her. "I think you're wrong. I think that forever was within our reach."
"Yeah it was within out reach but we couldn't catch it."
"I don't think it was that we couldn't catch it. I think we just took a step back from it. It's still within out reach." I smiled at her. She gave me a small smile back. "I need your grace." I took her hand and spun her around and brought her close into me like we were dancing. I tripped slightly over her foot. "I need it to remind me to find my own."
She laughed lightly. Such a beautiful little laugh. "You never were very graceful were you?"
I shook my head no. "I'll ask again. If I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?"
She shrugged herself out of my hold and took a step back looking at the ground. She didn't say anything. But regardless I think I'm making leeway.
She wants me to express my feels. I'm not good at it but I'll try. "All that I am right now, all the good parts at least. All that I every was when we were dating, it's all because of you. You made me a better person. Our future is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see." I can see a tear roll down her cheek. I honestly don't know if that good or bad at this point. God I hope it's good.
"I don't know where everything went wrong. I'm confused about how as well. How did all this go so terribly wrong? How did we become this?"
"I don't know." I said in a small voice. I really have no clue as to how this all happened. It happened so fast.
"Well if we don't know then how can we ever fix it? Just know that these things will never change for us at all."
What? That's it? No this can't be it. I'm not one to cry but I can't stop myself and honestly I don't want to. I start to panic. "No, no please Jade we can change this. I'll ask one last time, if I lay here, if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?" I whisper the last sentence, it took everything I had in me to say it. Most people would think that I wouldn't want to look at her while waiting for her response but I have to stare at her. I have to let her know how I feel. I can't seem to get the right words to come out of my mouth but my eyes they don't lie. She has always said that she can see what I'm feeling by looking into my eyes.
She slowly walks over to me, takes my hand, and leads me to my bed. She pulls the covers back and motions with her hands for me to get in. I'm a bit confused but I do as she says. Once I'm laying in bed she climbs in next to me resting her head on my chest. "Beck you really are a sap."
I pull her closer to me and smile to myself. Then I hear the three words that are enough for me.
"I love you." She says and he knows she means it.
Right now everything is good with them because they are doing what they always loved to do, they're just laying there together forgetting the world.
