Jade was still in the bathroom when Beck and Cat arrived. Her mother had let them in. Cat brought the cupcakes into the kitchen as Mrs. West poured some beverages for her guests.

"Um, Mrs. West?" Cat squeaked, Mrs. West turned around to face her. "I-" Cat cut herself off. This was a very sensitive topic, one, she figured too sensitive to address. "Would you like some of these cupcakes?"

Jade's mom smiled, then wordlessly took one of the cupcakes off the tray. "Cat… I'm glad that Jade has a friend like you." She then bit into her cupcake. "Especially one who makes amazing cupcakes." Mrs. West winked and walked out to give Beck his lemonade. Cat just watched her in confusion; was she not upset that Mr. West had walked out on her and Jade, or was she hiding it?

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Jade. Open the door." This was the 10th time Cat had said this within the past 45 seconds. She and Beck were outside Jade's bathroom door, rapping relentlessly. "I can't get through to her." Beck sighed and stepped up to the door.

"Jade? Jade, I know you're in there. It's me, Beck." a scoff and an unemotional chuckle seeped through the wood.

"I know it's you, idiot. I'm familiar with your voice." Snide and cocky, Jade's voice came.

"So… does that mean you'll open the door and come out?" Beck was now rocking back and forth upon the balls of his feet like a child. "Come on. Cat and I walked here to deliver you cupcakes."

"What flavor?"

"Red Velvet. Your favorite." Cat tempted. A shuffling came from the other side of the door before it snapped open. Jade's face peeked from out of the darkness. Cat held out the tray of cupcakes and Jade's pale hand came out and snatched a cupcake off the top as quick as lightning. Her hand retreated back into the bathroom before she closed the door abruptly. Within seconds she opened the door again and stepped out nonchalantly; as though nothing was going on. She walked over to the bed and sat on the edge.

"So what are you guys doing here?" she did her best to hide her red puffy eyes from them; particularly Beck. She just hoped Cat didn't the tears forming when she logged out of the video chat.

"Well I came here to see you because I ran into Cat who was going to see you." Jade gave a small nod, her head bent low, and Beck stepped closer to see her face. Is she hiding something? He initially thought. They hadn't reached that stage of trust yet so anything was possible. So he thought about it; Jade is acting sullen and distant, her mom seemed… forced, and Cat's here. Cat! Beck knew Cat and Jade weren't 'friends' but Cat would do anything for her. "Cat, why were you coming to see Jade?" suspicion rolling of his tongue along with his words.

Jade's blue eyes shot up; she did not want Beck finding out about her family issues. The last thing she needed was one of the coolest boys in the school to find out that the toughest cookie in the jar was clingy and broken. Jade's reputation would be ruined. "She came here to help me…" Jade's eyes darted left and right when they landed upon the acceptance letter from HA. "To help me find out more about Hollywood Arts." Beck's ears perked at the mention of that school.

"You got into HA? I got in too."

"I didn't know you wanted to go to Hollywood Arts." Jade never knew Beck had some kind of talent.

"Yeah, I wrote the spring play. You got the lead right? In 'An England Summer'." That was when Beck realized he had to get with Jade. She effortlessly spoke with a raw emotion; if he didn't know it was a play, he would have thought that this was real life. Jade, however, thought that her performance was horrible. She spoke her lines a few seconds late, nearly missed her cues, and several times said someone else's line.

But the truth was, she never gave herself enough credit. She thinks she's either horrible or not good enough. Her father's discouraging words did not help the case either.

Beck and Jade continued to chat about their future plans in high school. Cat, every now and then, would give her input or commented on something that reminded her of her brother. But she could easily see that they weren't paying any attention to her, she snuck out; leaving her cupcakes for Jade.

"So Jade, are you doing the summer program this year, or next year?" Jade had nearly forgotten about that; with everything that's happened though, the thought of HA's summer program brings a painful sting with the memory of the argument between her parents.

"Uh, I actually never got around to that." She kept her eyes down because she feared tears would form. But (to her convenience) Beck wasn't looking. He was currently sitting at her desk with her laptop opened up to the Hollywood Arts website. "What are you doing?" Jade shot up and off the bed like a rocket; soaring to Beck. She tried to swiftly shut the laptop, but he quicker.

He slipped out of her reach and dived into a nearby chair. Which was actually a bad choice since now he was cornered by her. She charged at him and Beck only had second to set down the laptop to avoid damage before she pounced on him. He got kneed in the stomach but he was laughing idiotically, so it really didn't matter.

Jade threw several weak punches at his arm because she really didn't want to hurt him, and couldn't help smiling and laughing herself. She somehow ended up sitting upon his lap; taking a minute to catch her breath. She rested her head in the crook of Beck's neck. She was welcomed by the light scent of cologne, the heat of his body, and the softness of his skin. She did all she could to keep the butterflies from escaping her throat.

Little did she know, Beck was feeling the exact same way. The tank top she was wearing exposed her pale, silky, beautiful arms. All he wanted to do was stroke them ever so gently. And after some serious discussion within his head, he decided to do it.

He slowly brought his hand to her shoulder and worked his way down. His touch was feather light; ticklish; tracing invisible lines upon her. He heard Jade's breath hitch every so often, he felt goose bumps arise from her porcelain skin, he felt her shudder against him. His hand crawled its way to her shoulder and beyond. Beck's gentle hand pushed aside her silky chestnut locks to again access and dance on top of her neck. He pulled away to get a better look at her face; a true work of art.

He could spend the rest of his life memorizing her. The contour of her brow, the length of her lashes, the bridge of her nose, but most of all those lips. He had never seen a more gorgeous pair. Plump and soft, sweet like vanilla, magical too. He couldn't stop staring at them. Jade inhaled softly as his finger found their way to her lips. He caressed them like gold.

Although Jade loved the way he was touching her right now, she would've loved it even more if his lips were on hers. "Beck are you going to kiss me or not?" she snapped impatiently. Beck couldn't help but chuckle; she was too adorable when she was mad. "It's not funny!" but this only made him laugh more.

"You want to kiss?" he smirked as he leaned in closer to her. "Let's kiss." When they connected, his mind went back to that day on the beach when they had kissed beneath the fireworks. The spark was as present as ever; intensifying as their lips moved in unison. They started out slow like the ocean on a calm day, only to progress to a raging storm; passion pouring out from them both.

Their hands clawed at one another's body; desperately searching for an anchor to hold them down as the warm sensation of pure bliss swept through. After what seemed like forever, the good kind, they parted for air. They were panting lightly in amazement. The adrenaline rush they received was at the magnitude of a rollercoaster.

They leaned in once more when Jade's bedroom door flew open. Bursting in came Cat. "I'm back! I thought you guys would be missing my company! What are yo-" Cat's brown eyes widened as she witnessed Jade sitting upon Beck. Their hair was messy and their clothes were stretched and slightly out of place; lips puffy and chests heaving.

"I'm sorry!" she shrieked. She slapped her hand over her virgin eyes and closed the door. "Tell me when you're decent!" she called through the door. But they were already ahead of her. Both were straightening out hair and clothes.

"I should go." Beck was beyond embarrassed. His cheeks were a blazing red.

"Yeah you should. It's getting late." But really it was only 2:48 pm. "So, um, bye." Jade's legs were shaking. Beck nodded awkwardly before they stood in silence. But they couldn't help themselves. They practically leapt into each other's arms to kiss; urgent and fiery.

"Are you guys done yet?" innocence; pure innocence brought back their attention and they separated once more.

Beck took an extra cupcake before heading towards the door. He turned to see her one last time before he left. "I love you." His voice was low yet perfectly clear. Jade's eyes enlarged with shock.

"W-what did you just say?" he looked back at her confused until he realized what had slipped from his mouth.

"I-I, nothing!" and he took off, nearly knocking Cat down. Jade ran out the door after him.

"Wait! Beck!" by the time she got to the front door, he was already a block away.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jade paced back and forth within her room. The time was 11:34 pm, and there was someone she desperately wanted to call. She stared down at her phone in her hand; finally deciding to do it, she dialed the last person she expected to call for this situation.

"Well, well, well. What can I do for you, oh wicked witch?"

"Hey Rex, I need your help." As weird as this may be, Rex was probably the sanest most logical person there was. "Okay so say if a girl was dared by her friend to date this boy and break up with him, but she didn't want to because he was really good to her, but she didn't want to lose the bet either. What should this said 'she' do?"

"When you say 'she', 'friend', and 'boy', you mean Andre, Beck, and you right?"

"…H-how did you know that?" for sure Andre would have kept this on the DL.

"How I know that is not important. What is, however, is that you should listen to what you're heart says. It knows what it wants, let it lead you." This is precisely why she had called Rex.

"Okay, thanks." Beep. She sighed heavily and set down her phone.

That night, as she laid in bed, she thought of how the rest of the summer would go. In particular, with Beck. The scene in which he told her he loved her was looped in her memory; his voice sending her to sleep.

AN: Whew! My fingers have lost weight typing this! So there it is, some adorkable Bade, and Rex's advice is back in action. If you haven't voted for my poll on my profile, do that now.
