Jade rolled over on her belly and pulled her laptop closer to her. She was typing out the last paragraph for her literature homework and she was running out of ideas. For the past 30 minutes she'd thrown a handful of scissors on her dartboard, rearranged her collection of jars that contained items that would best not be known, and not to be known to anyone else but Beck, made a collage of pictures of her and Beck and made it her wallpaper.
Finally typing the last word and period to her essay, she clicked save and shut her laptop. At last, all her homework was done for the day. She decided to head downstairs and check the fridge for food. She grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl instead when she got to the fridge, seeing that everything in it was prepared meals that had to be microwaved first. Ever since the baby came and all other problems exploded in her family's lives, her mom hasn't really cooked a decent meal, she was always either at work or taking care of the baby whenever the nanny was 'sick', her father hid in his work too and both her parents were to stressed out to do anything else, her dad especially. They'd end up fighting afterwards.
"Hello, Jade." Came the voice of the nanny, Francine. She was somewhere in her mid-thirties but she looked twenty and from her suspicions, liked to party a lot. That's why she was always 'sick'. Jade had spotted her once on the front porch flirting with a boy at a party just a few blocks away from her house.
"Would you like me to heat up some food for you?" she asked and smiled sweetly at Jade.
Jade stared at her and let out a 'no' before biting into her apple and walking past the nanny and back upstairs into her room. She shut the door behind her and took another bite of her apple. When she was done eating, she tossed the apple into the bin and plopped herself down on her bed again. She took out her phone and sent a text to Beck.
I'm bored.
She then lay flat on her back and stared at the ceiling. Her phone buzzed, indicating a text and she opened the message from Beck.
Don't you have homework to do?
Jade frowned. She hated smileys. She quickly typed out her reply then hit send.
You know I hate smileys. Stop putting them in your texts! And I'm done with my homework.
A loud bang then startled Jade. She could hear thuds and grunting coming from downstairs and it was getting louder. Her dad was home. A few seconds later, the front door was opened again but this time was shut with a soft thud and a click. Now both of her parents were home.
Great. She thought. By the grunting noises that her dad was making, it only meant that he's had a hard day at work and that usually led to only one thing. And as if right on cue, she heard her dad scream her mom's name.
Jade groaned and covered her head with a pillow.
"Why does this have to happen every night?" she grumbled.
Once the shouting got louder and now the baby was crying, Jade sent a text to Beck saying that she was coming over to stay the night then packed up her bag. She was throwing some clothes into her bag when there was a knock on the door.
"Go away!" Jade screamed.
"Jade, please." It was her brother.
Jade groaned and stomped over to her door. She opened it just big enough for her head to fit.
"What?!" she hissed.
Her brother whimpered as he clutched the strap of his backpack. His gaze fell to the floor.
"I was wondering if I could spend the night with you and Cat. I've been over a lot to my friend's house and his parents are getting suspicious and I don't have anywhere else to go." He said.
Jade looked at her brother for awhile then sighed.
"Fine. Go wait by the car. I'll be right out." She said then shut the door. Her brother rushed outside and waited by the car as instructed.
Jade shoved the rest of her stuff into her bag and stuck the note that they always leave on the refrigerator door then walked out the door to her car. Her brother was by the passenger's side looking down on the asphalt with his hands shoved into his pockets.
"Get in." Jade said to him. She unlocked the car and the two got in. Tossing their bags into the backseat, Jade put the key into the ignition and the car came to life. They drove in silence until they got to Beck's RV.
"Why are we at Beck's?" Carter asked as Jade as she parked the car.
"Cos I was going to spend the night here. Not at Cat's." she stated.
Her brother nodded, "Thanks for being here for me, Jade. You're the only person that actually notices me at home now." He said and gave her a small smile.
Jade stared at her brother. Have things really gone that bad for their family that their parents don't even notice her brother anymore? She wanted to smile and hug him but because she was Jade, all she did was mutter a 'whatever' and got out of the car. Even if that was her only response, her brother knew that she felt something there. He smiled to himself and got out of the car too.
They got their stuff from the backseat and Jade proceeded to bang on Beck's door.
Beck got up from his sofa when there was a loud banging on his RV door. That only meant that Jade was here. He got up from his place at the couch and went to the door.
"Hey, babe." He greeted when he opened the door and planted a kiss on her lips. When they parted from the kiss, however, he noticed that Jade wasn't alone.
"Hey, Carter." He greeted the younger West.
"Hey." Carter replied.
"I forgot to tell you that he was coming with. It was kinda last minute." Jade said. Beck only nodded and let them both in. Carter let his bag down on the floor next to the couch and sat down. He pulled out his pearphone and started playing a game. Jade tossed her bag onto Beck's bed and plopped herself down, smiling at her boyfriend.
Beck stood in the middle of his RV, "So, you guys wanna watch a movie?"
"Can we watch the Scissoring?" Carter spoke up.
Beck and Jade gave him a curious look. Since when did he like the Scissoring? That was Jade's favorite movie.
"Sure, buddy." Beck said and grabbed the copy he kept for Jade from his closet. Carter smiled.
"I'll make popcorn." Jade said, getting up from the bed and making her way to Beck's cabinet and microwave. She got out a packet from the cabinet and put in the microwave for two minutes. She got out a water bottle from Beck's mini fridge and tossed it to Carter who fortunately caught it at the last second. Jade smirked at him.
"Beck, I want coffee." She said turning to face him. Beck had just inserted the movie into the player.
He looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Magic word?"
Jade frowned, "Coffee."
Beck just looked at her, waiting for her to say please, which wasn't going to be easy since they were in front of her younger brother who hasn't ever heard her sister say it. Jade glanced at her brother who was looking at her, eager to listen to her say 'please', then set her eyes onto Beck who was staring at her expectantly with a smirk. She really hated Beck right now.
She groaned inwardly then muttered, "Please."
Jade crossed her arms over her chest and pouted.
"I'm sorry. What was that?" Beck asked, cupping his hand by his ear and leaning in.
Her frown grew deeper. She could see her brother smiling at the corner of her eye. She hated it. Suddenly she got an idea that would get her what she wanted. She let out a small smile and slowly walked towards Beck, whose expression now changed to curiosity. She wrapped her arms around his neck then kissed him hard. Beck responded by wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her to him. She bit his lower lip which made him groan and tighten his grip around her. Then as quickly as it got heated, Jade suddenly pulled away from him then whispered please into his ear. She then pulled away from his grip.
Beck was in a daze. He nodded absently mindedly then went to make Jade her coffee. Oh what Jade's kisses did to him.
"Enjoyed the show?" Jade asked her younger brother who held a pillow to shield his face.
"You guys are disgusting!" He yelled from the couch. Jade put on a triumphant smile and grabbed the remote from the TV. She sat on the bed and kicked her boots off.
"Here you go." Beck said as he handed Jade her coffee and kissed her cheek. He then sat next to her.
"You guys?" Carter was standing by the bed.
"What?" Jade glared at him.
"You forgot the popcorn in the microwave." He replied.
"Go get it." Jade ordered. Her brother rolled his eyes and dragged his feet over to Beck's microwave.
"There's a bowl in that cabinet over there." Beck said pointing to a cabinet just below the microwave. Carter nodded in response. He took out the popcorn from and dumped it into the bowl. He then grabbed a pillow from the couch and put in on the floor and sat down. Beck turned out the lights and Jade pressed play on the remote.
...
At the end of the movie, Jade was asleep in Beck's arms. Her head was on his chest and her arms were wrapped around him. Beck's arm was wrapped around her body and his hand was gently stroking her hair. She was beautiful when she was asleep.
"Do you have any dominoes?" Carter asked from below.
Beck was surprised that he was still awake. It was almost midnight.
"Don't you think you should be asleep now? It is a school night." He replied.
Carter just shrugged, "It'll help me fall asleep."
"I think it's in one of those drawers." Beck said, pointing to the drawers under his TV.
Carter got up from his spot on the floor and rummaged through Beck's drawers. Beck had turned a lamp on to help him through the dark. Carter finally found the box of dominoes and set them out on the floor. He then let them stand, making a pattern for him to knock down afterwards. Beck watched intently from the bed.
After a few minutes, Beck could feel his arm go numb from Jade's body. He carefully eased himself off of her and gently let her lay down comfortably on his bed. Jade curled up into a fetal position and gripped the pillow on her head. She could sleep like a rock. Beck planted a small kiss on her head and laid next to her.
"Hey, Beck." Carter spoke up.
"Yeah?" he replied sleepily. He was starting to doze off.
"Don't be like my dad." He said, looking up to him.
Beck opened his eyes and faced Carter.
"Take care of Jade and don't ever hurt her."
Beck smiled at him, "Don't worry, buddy. I'll always take care of Jade. I love her."
Carter smiled and tipped his pattern of dominoes. He then picked them up and placed them back in the box.
"I'm gonna sleep now." He said and place the box back the drawer. He then kicked off his shoes and went into the bathroom to change into his pajamas and brush his teeth. When he went back out, Beck had already fallen asleep, his arms were securely around Jade and his head was just above hers, almost as if he fell asleep kissing her forehead.
Carter smiled. He wasn't happy with what was happening at home at the moment and his relationship with his dad had crumbled ever since the baby came into their lives. He hasn't spoken to his dad ever since, not that he'd notice these days and his mom was always busy for him. He didn't like the nanny either. Jade was the only one who's ever noticed his presence in the house, even if it's just a simple 'move!' so he'd get out of her way. He was thankful for her, especially for tonight. Beck too. He'd always liked Beck.
Carter fixed up his place on the couch then went to turn out the lamp. He then felt his way through the dark, thankfully not knocking anything over, and slipped under the blanket. He fell asleep a few minutes later with a smile on his face, knowing that he had Beck and his sister Jade with him tonight.

(A/N): I loved that! Sibling and Bade love. I actually picture Jade's brother to be a less demented version of her. He's more of the softer side of Jade. Do you get it? Kinda get it? Let me know. Lol. I'm hoping that I can get the next chapter up soon.
Until next chapter,
Please review! Love lots, Julie.
