Soul- sorry for the long wait but I hope this chapter makes up for it, it does show some of her past about her old and new relationships, about her family as well and i hope that everybody enjoys it :D i'll see you by the end of this chapter.

Jade sat down on her large king size bed indian style, her body feeling relax as her legs that are cover now by solid dark blue yoga pants that she uses for pajamas pants and a black sport bra, her long chestnut was now in a messy bun.

Books that held pictures of the past lay closed on her monkey cover blankets, along with notes that she hasn't seen in years.

"Now where should I start?" The female actress with sky blue eyes asked herself, as she rubbed her hands together softly, Her manager asked…begged her to look at out pictures and old memories of her past, so that she could try and remember why she was friends with the people that once she called friends.

She scan the books as she refused to move from the spot in her bed, knowing that she had to tat least ry since her manager and some of his workers went to a lot of trouble getting things out of the basement where it was only collecting dusk in the boxes that her mother gave to know.

Jade started to chew her lower lip gently as she lean over and started to grab one of the albums that was a light shade of purple with a pair of little sticks of scissors, her small slim fingers trace the outline of stickers that started to come off already.

'Come on Jade you can do it' She thought to herself as she brush her hand softly to the edge of it to grab it firmly before she brought it closer to body.

She looked down at it once she put in right in front of her, 'I hate that I have to do this, I can work with those dimwits with out having to remember why I even called them…fri..acquaintances at one point' Jade thought to herself.

After a few minutes, a smirk appear on her olive color face, as she scoot to the side of her bed and bended down to grab some things that were under her bed, her hair that was still in a bun just go messier.

"Ah ha" Jade said with a smile on her flawless face as her pearl white teeth show, she lean back to the bed as she now was holding threes large books that were press against her chest.

The lovely female with a slight anger issue gently put to books in her comfy bed.

"Ok, so every time I see a picture of them, I'll look at a picture of the people that i can actually call friends" Jade told herself, smiling that she had a brilliant idea.

She open the book that she was touching just minutes ago, and the once that she just grab, putting a large one of her new life that was black with dark purple lace on top, a gentle smile on her face as she put the other two books on a small marble desk where she had books to read when she had time and a small lap on it.

"Ok, Lets start this" She said finally ready as she gave a quick glance at her tiny clock that was also on the small desk, reading that it was "9;34 p.m'

She open to the book with the stickers that were coming off already, the first page alone made her frown, since it was a rather large picture of her and her father when she was a little girl around the age of 5 or 6 years old, her chestnut color hair barely reaching her shoulders as she wore a smile on her face, showing that one of her teeth already fell off. A light pink dress with sparkles cover her body reaching just below her knees and shiny white shoes. Her father holding her in a side way hug, both their eyes seem to shiny as they looked at the first Mrs, West that took to the picture.

Ignoring the fact there her parents were family together at once point and that were we once a happy family before her father started to have affairs and her mother started to drink, "Eh, I can't believe I actually had to wear pink" She said disgusted that she wore that as a little child, She may wear them now but only when she had to in movies.

She rolled her eyes and open the book that she started when she started to her friends and "family" , the smile that faded with the picture from before return as it was of her and , neither of them held a smile on their or were that close to each other, it was the day that he told her that she could make it big when he friend meet her, and to memorize the moment they took a picture, him wearing his usual black suit and his shades while she wore a black shirt with matching black leggings that were ripped along with her favorite boots from her teenage years, her top was a black and red long sleeve shirt that fit her perfectly.

They might now have been close like they are now, but she could tell that he was a good person and was mostly honest with her and that the young man was loyal, "Weirdo still is" she thought as she let out a soft chuckle.

She went back to the book from earlier with the picture of her and her so call father, she turn to the page since the first one cover to whole page, it was a picture her and Cat when they were pre- adolescent, Cat whom seem to be 12 years old, her hair which seem to reach two or three inches below her shoulder was freshly dyed a red velvet color, her tiny body was cover by a pink sweater with a unicorn in the front and a pair of light blue jeans, beside her was a 12 year old jade who's hair reached her mid back along with red extensions, her olive face looking serious as she usually did when she found out her parents were going to have a divorce since her father had another family and a son who was 5 years old, her body the same as petite as her best friend since they were barely starting to develop into teenagers. She wore a simple black tank top and a dark blue skinny jeans.

"Ha" said Jade as she notice that Beck was in the background of the picture along with Andre', "How weird" she spoke softly as if it was the first time she notice and remember since a day after this picture was taken her and MR. Great Hair started to be friends,

'It's all that boy's fault that you started acting this way, you never had foolish dreams like things before and you didn't want to go to a ridiculous school either' She remember her father telling her, Trying to blame the tan boy for the way she turn out to be in high school, but true was it was both of them to blame, She stop seeing him as a father once she found out about him having another family, she didn't care that her had another woman that much since her mom started to get bossy at work then go to the bar, but what did annoy her was that the weekends that they used to share together was taken away from her by force and given to another, making her feel like she wasn't enough to make the people she care about happy any more…making her feel alone, Then Beck..He made her happy, the happiest she has ever been when they became best friends but he also made her feel worth-less every time they broke up, every time that he flirt with another girl, she felt like he had became her father in the end…Were she wasn't enough and he had to find somebody else…she used to wonder after all the break ups if that was how her mother felt after all her father left her.

"Hmmp" was all the noise that came out of her lips, She wasn't going to cry as she relived old memories , She cried once and that was more than enough, None of them would have the pleasure of having her cry again, wither they know it or not.

She looked at the album that was able to make her smile, It was of her doing her first episode in the tv show that her boyfriend used to be in, her hair was in curls as she wore a sundress for a commercial that she had to do with in the show, she was grinning in the picture, Jade let out a snicker as she notice that her boyfriend whom seem to be around 17 or 18 years old was in the background looking at her with a love sick look on his face as his friends seem to hold him back.

"What dorks" Jade said happily, her eye blue lighting up as she remember how he spied on her countless before daring to ask her out with a cup of coffee already knowing how she likes it, and a pair of scissors that were color blue with red on the tips making it look like blood, Jade chuckle as she remember how he had made his friends help him woo her by taking over a stage and moving things around to make it look like a creepy forest in one side where they sat for part of their friend date enjoying the view and having a friend conversion going before he took her to the other side of the set where it was made to seem like a haunted which she loved completely since spooky noises where played, 'He was terrified and still stood by me'' she recalled as they finished the dated after the watched her favorite movie while in the scary house while eating some pasta.

Jade West spent most of the night going thru pictures, falling a sleep around 3 in the morning, holding a picture of her new life and her old one, one having the picture of the guy that used to known her heart at their last anniversary, Him giving her a cd and a rose since he knew that she didn't like to celebrated those kinds of things, and the other picture of the guy that now owns her heart at their lasted anniversary, him giving her a sliver necklace with little scissors with their names on it and a half a dozen black roses, knowing that even if she doesn't want to celebrated it, it gives him an excuse to let him tell her that his happy that his with her and that he loves her….both pictures secretly taken and given to her later on.
