Chapter 11: Anger
Beck's POV:
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Suddenly, I heard a scream coming from behind of me and two arms wrapping around my waist. I knew it was Jade. She pulled me away from the cliff and we fell down. I opened my eyes and saw Jade lying next to me on the ground. She stared at me and stood up quickly. She helped me stand up. When I finally got back to reality, I saw the tears in her eyes.
"Are you crazy?" She almost screamed.
"Jade... Relax... I-"
"You what? WHAT? You wanted to die?" She cut me off and continued shouting.
"I couldn't live while I knew that I have raped you! Can't you understand that?" I asked her angrily.
"And then what? You only think about yourself! What about your family? What about your friends?" She paused. "What about me?" She added sobbing.
"Jade... Look, I-"
"Let me finish!" She interrupted me. She brushed away a tear from her cheek and continued talking. "You thought that you would stop suffering. You said you loved me. How could I kept living without you? Did you think of me? You would stop suffer, but I would start."
"Listen to me..." I muttered and took her hand, she flinched away and scowled at me.
"You've already hurt me once, and now you want to hurt me again?" She whispered. It was a question. But it sounded like she just said that. Like she was sure. But it was a question.
Wasn't it?
Andre's POV:
I was sitting on the couch, watching Liz playing with Tori in front of me. Despite my worries about Beck and Jade, I couldn't help but laugh at how Tori looked when she was making faces for Liz. Elizabeth started laughing and crawled to my direction. I chuckled and stretched my arms to hold her. Liz grabbed my arms and curled between them. I smiled and my grip around her tightened as I lifted her and placed her on my stomach.
Tori chuckled and approached us. She sat next to me and caressed Liz's head. Jade's mom entered the living room and stared at us playing with Liz.
"You know..." She started. Tori and I turned our heads and looked at her. She smiled and reached us. She sat on the other side of me. Elizabeth immediately opened her arms to her, asking for a hug. She chuckled and took her. "You know... I wasn't completely happy when Jade told me that she was pregnant. And, my biggest problem was that she had been raped. But, I liked the idea of a little creature running through the house. Honestly, I hoped Liz would change Jade's attitude. I hoped she would make her more sensitive and sweet."
"And you were right." Tori commented. Jade's mom nodded.
"What happened when she told you that Beck raped her?" I asked her.
"Well... She told me about it two weeks later. But I kinda knew it before she told me. She was different. I could understand when my daughter isn't good. I'm not like her friends. No offence... But, I know her better." She replied.
"It's logical..." I commented.
"Well... So, she told me that she had been raped, by Beck, and then she told me that she was pregnant. And she showed my the pregnancy test."
-Memory-
Jade got in the house with a scowl, like the two last weeks. Her mom was watching television. Jade gulped and sat next to her on the couch.
"Mom?" She whispered. It was surprising hearing Jade whispering...
"What, sweetie?" Her mother asked her casually. As if she didn't know... She could understand that something was wrong with her daughter... But she was just afraid to believe it...
"I... I have to tell you something..." Jade muttered.
"I'm listening." Jade's mom encouraged her.
Jade took a deep breath. "I've been raped." She spilled.
"What? Who sis that to my baby girl? I'll kill him!" Mrs West shouted. It was finally time to break down. But she looked into Jade's scared eyes and tried to calm down. She had to be strong. Jade needed someone to support her.
"B-Beck..." She mumbled.
"Beck? But... how?"
"Look... It wasn't his fault. He was drunk. And, maybe, he was drunk because of me. He didn't know what he was doing. He doesn't even know about it. Believe me, he would never do this to me. But he was drunk. He wasn't himself. You have to believe me, mom..." Jade started talking with tears in her eyes. "And... and I don't hate him. He'll kill himself if he learns what he has done." She added. "Please, believe me. It wasn't entirely fault... Mom, I-I swear. Okay? It wasn't-"
"Shh... Relax..." Her mom cut her off. She embraced her daughter into a big hug and kissed the top of her head, caressing it carefully. "Can you answer me a question?" She asked Jade shyly. Jade nodded. "Did he hurt you?" Mrs West felt her voice cracking at the last words.
Jade sighed. "N-No... When I stopped resisting, it was easier..." She muttered. "And... there's something more..." She added.
"What?" Mrs West asked her curiously.
Jade hesitated for a moment. "Um... Well..."
"Tell me. I'll help you. Whatever happened, we'll make it. We'll find a solution. Tell me."
"I... I'm... I'm pregnant." Jade mumbled and supressed the urge to cry again.
"W-What?" Jade's mom muttered. "Pregnant? Are you sure?" She asked her.
Jade nodded. She escaped from her mother's embrace and reached for her bag. She grabbed the pregnancy test from her bag and hended it to her mom. "Here."
"I... I can't believe it... It's okay... Relax. We'll find something." She told Jade. Jade nodded and sighed in relief.
-End of Flashback-
"Oh my God... It must've been difficult..." Tori muttered.
Jade's mom chuckled. "The worst part was when I tried to persuade her to keep the baby..." She replied.
"Didn't she want it?" I asked her.
"Oh, c'mon... Would a girl want a baby while she was seventeen years old and she had been raped?" Jade's mother asked me.
"Nope." I muttered. "But... How did you persuade her?" I asked her.
"It was difficult. One of the most difficult things I have ever done. But I told her that, one day, Beck would find out the truth and he'll foorgive himself when he sees his child." She answered.
"Oh... And she accepted to keep it?" Tori wondered.
"What do you think?" I questioned her and motioned to Liz in Jade's mom's hug.
Tori blushed and Mrs West chuckled. "It's okay..." She muttered.
"Right. I'm stupid." Tori commented.
We all laughed. Suddenly, I stopped, as I thought of Beck and Jade. I just hoped that Jade was able to drive carefully yet fast and that she knew where to find Beck.
"Where do you think Beck can be?" I asked them.
Tori shrugged. "I don't know... I hope Jade knows." She answered.
"Me, too. And I also hope that she gets there soon." Jade's mom commented.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked her worried.
"Nothing! It's just... Beck really loves my daughter. He can't accept easy that he has raped her. We don't know how he'll react." She answered.
I let out a sigh and glanced at Elizabeth, who was clapping happily.
Jade's POV:
I shook my head and headed to Andre's car again. I jumped in and sped away. I just hoped that he wouldn't try to kill himself again...
When I finally reached my house, I stormed in and threw the keys to Andre. I ignored their voices that called me and ran to my bedroom. I closed the door and locked it. I threw myself at my bed and buried my face into one of my pillows. I let myself cry, no one was with me so I couldn't care less.
I tried to ignore the constant knocks at my door and wished that Beck had listened to me. I wondered where was he, what he was doing...
Beck's POV:
I closed my RV door and sat on the floor in front of it. I leaned my head back and rested it on the door, looking at the ceiling.
You've already hurt me once, and now you want to hurt me again?
Her words echoed in my head, as tears started filling my eyes.
You only think about yourself! What about me?
I shut my eyes closed and tried to imagine how my life would be if I had opened the damn door at Tori's house... I hadn't raped Jade. I hadn't gotten her pregnant. We hadn't broken up. I hadn't hurt her...
I shook my head. That couldn't happen, unfortunately. I couldn't go back to the past and erase my mistakes. I just couldn't... But I could kill to have that opportunity...
Andre's POV:
"Jade! Jade, please open the door! Please! It's only me! Don't you want to talk to me? There's also Tori and your mom. Who do you want? Please, tell me." I shouted at her.
"Liz." I heard a whisper from the other side of the door.
"Okay! Just, wait." I replied and went downstairs quickly.
"What happened?" Tori asked me hopefully, watching the grin on my face.
"She wants Liz." I replied and lifted Elizabeth from the ground. Liz started sobbing, but I rocked her a little on my way to Jade's room and kissed her forehead. "Jade! Liz is here..." I told Jade.
The door opened slowly and I saw Jade's red eyes staring at me. She glanced at Liz and smiled slightly. I gave her Elizabeth. Jade got in her room again.
"Thanks." She muttered.
"Can I come in?" I asked shyly.
Jade turned and looked at me. She nodded. "Sure." She whispered.
I entered her room and closed the door. "So... You ok?" I asked her casually.
Jade shrugged, as she let Liz in her bed. Liz grabbed a pillow and started playing with it. Jade chuckled, looking at her and glanced at me. I took a step closer to her and wiped the last tear from her cheek with my thumb.
"I'm fine. Thanks." She replied.
"Did you find Beck?" I asked her. She nodded. "Where was he?"
"At his favorite cliff." She muttered.
"Oh... Was he looking at the city?"
"No... He was about to fall from the cliff." She corrected me.
"What? Are you sure?" I asked her surprised.
Jade nodded. "But, I think, I persuaded him not to kill himself. We argued." She said.
"Try to understand him... It's difficult to believe it..." I told her.
"What about me? Everyone tells me to understand him. But, no one can understand me! Okay? I raised my daughter without her father for a whole year! I've beed raped! I moved to Europe! What about me? Who can understand me?" She started shouting. Elizabeth blinked a couple of tmes, and started crying. "Oh... No, no..." Jade muttered and reached Liz. She lifted her in held her arms, rocking her and whisperign to her ear something I couldn't understand.
Liz immediately smiled and started clapping happily. Jade chuckled and kissed her cheek gently. She placed her on her bed again and gave her a teddy bear she found underneath her bed.
I squinted at Jade suspiciously, making her grin. "What did you tell her?" I asked her.
Jade shrugged. "Something between daughter and mother." She replied smiling.
I chuckled. "Whatever. Coming downstairs?" I asked her.
Jade glanced at Liz and replied happily, "Yup."
She lifted Elizabeth and walked to me. The teddy bear fell from Liz's hands, making her start crying. Jade rolled her eyes and bent down to grabb the stuffed animal. She handed to Liz, who immediately stopped crying. We got out of her room and went downstairs.
"Here we are!" I announced happily.
Jade with Liz emerged after me. "Hey, Jade! You okay?" Tori asked Jade.
She nodded. "Actually, only Liz can make me feel better..." She muttered.
"That's true. I saw it with my own eyes!" I commented.
Jade chuckled and sat next to Tori. They started playing with Liz, while Mrs West appeared from the kitchen. She took a look at the girls and then, she turned to me. I smiled at her and grabbed my phone, as I felt it vibrating one time.

I immediately opened it and read it.

Um... Hey man. Can you come over?
I put my phone back in my pocket and looked at Jade's mom. "Beck?" She asked me. I nodded. "Go." She ordered me.
