AN: I know this is really short but I just thought of it. (:

Beck is seventeen when he loses the love of his life. She gets hit by a car while driving home from his RV.
He rushes to the hospital: he gets there in six minutes. He's too late. She's already gone. And there's nothing he can do about it.
He cries a lot. A lot of people think Beck doesn't cry, because he's really good at hiding his emotions. But he cries. He can't stop crying. He hugs his mom like he used to do when he was younger, and he sobs.
He can't go back into his RV. It's too hard. All of her stuff is there. He finds himself sleeping in his old bedroom.
At her funeral, he tries to give a speech. He doesn't think he can do it. He grips onto his necklace, the one that matches with Jades, and he lets the tears stream down his face. Cat starts sobbing when she sees Beck crying. It's a catalyst effect, really.
He gives the speech anyway. Because he knows that if Jade were here, she would just roll her eyes at him.

He doesn't go to school for about three weeks. All he can do is lay in bed. He finally gets the courage to go to school, and the second he walks through the doors, he's greeted with the sight of her locker. It's like a punch to the face.
There's flowers sticking out of the holes in her locker, and sticky notes are attached.
He storms over to Jade's locker and starts ripping the flowers out.
"Hey! What are you doing? That's for Jade!" Tori cries, watching as the flowers fall to the ground.
"Jade hates flowers," he says without removing his gaze from her locker.
He sees Cat coming toward him.
"She loved you, Beck," Cat whimpers as her arms wrap around him in a friendly hug.
"I know," he says, hugging her back. His voice is raspy. He looks different. He has bags under his eyes but he doesn't care. Jade's gone and she's never coming back.

People treat Beck like he's about to crack any second. None of the girls are walking up to him, which he is grateful for. The only person who hasn't given him looks of pity is Sikowitz. When Sikowitz calls Beck up on stage, he gives the barefoot man a genuine smile.

There is a lot of tension in their group of friends. At lunch, the first person to speak is Tori, like usual.
"I'm so sorry about your loss," Tori tells 's trying to be nice, but he hates it.
"Don't say that! God, I hate when people say that!" He cries, glaring at her. That's all he's been hearing today.
The whole table looks at Beck in shock. He's finally showing his feelings.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to say. None of us do," Tori says awkwardly, glancing around the table.
Beck takes a deep breath.
"How about 'what was she like?' How about 'do you miss her?' How about 'what are you going to do now?' How about 'why did you love her'?" Beck cries, before he storms off and hides in the bathroom for the rest of the day, clinging to the necklace around his neck, remembering her.

He finally goes inside his RV. Her clothes are still inside. He grabs one of her sweaters and holds it as he falls asleep, dreaming of the love of his life who died too young.
