December Eleventh
Anniversary
'You know what day it is today?' That's what they both want to say desperately.
They don't say it, of course, they avoid the subject at all costs, not wanting to cause sadness, arguments, or fighting.
"Hey babe," Beck greets Jade as she sits herself next to him at the Asphalt Cafe table.
"Hey," She replies, opening the salad she had bought.
She lets out a faux irritated groan as Tori and the others sit themselves at the table, but doesn't protest much further.
"Do you guys know what day it is?" Tori wonders, her brown eyes curious. She furrows her eyebrows, confused at Beck and Jade's annoyed expressions.
"Ummm, President's day?" Cat guesses randomly, giving a grin. "Why do they even have that day?! Isn't everyday a president's day?"
"No! It would be the tenth anniversary of Beck and Jade being broken up," Tori explains with a grin. "Isn't it awesome that you guys finally get to spend this day together!?" She adds, looking at their irritated faces.
Jade nods tartly, looking down at her lunch.
"We're trying not to think about it," Beck explained quietly. "The eleventh wasn't exactly the happiest day for Jade or I every month, and we don't like mentioning our break up. It could start fights," Beck explains.
Tori nods understandingly. "Oh.. Sorry," She apologizes, thinking for a second. "Well," Tori asks, a sly smirk on her face. "Do all of you guys want to come to my house tonight to play cards. All of you," She repeats, giving a smile.
Beck can't help but close his eyes a second to give a happy smile. He accepts Tori's invitation for the two of them.
This time, when they walk through Tori's door way, they will both exit together.
