Hey All, thank you again for staying with the story! As always I own nothing.
**Recap**
It is the night of the Big Christmas Talent Show, Beth and Jade have made up, though Jade didn't like the thought of no more making out. Can they just stay friends or will something happen that will push them both together before they expected.
Beth POV
After an exhausting day in school, seriously it was the Talent Show, surely they would be a bit more lenient but no. Anyway, I am at home getting ready for my last ever performance in the school that is known as Hollywood Arts.
I make sure there is a wave in my hair, shaking my head a bit more to make it more messy. I go into my closet and pull out the perfect outfit, faux leather skirt and jacket with an Iron Maiden tank. I place them on my bed while I do my make up.
In the middle of doing my eyes, my bedroom door opened.
"Hola, Mami." I hear Santana's voice, entering the room.
"Ay, chicka, I would turn to you but i am doing my make up." I answer, making sure I don't mess up. "What you doing here?"
"Good old Christmas in LA this year, also we were invited to your show tonight to see you preform." Santana answered, I hear her sit on the bed, but I also hear another set of footsteps.
"Okay, I still can't turn around, who else is in the room?" I ask, almost finishing my winged eye liner.
"Oh, sorry Beth, I am here too." I hear the blondes voice, a smile slowly coming onto my face.
"Quinn, I never thought you would be able to get away from your god fearing parents for Christmas. It's going to be a culture shock for you that's for sure." I said, laughing.
I hear the blonde sign, "I got kicked out of the house, Santana and her family let me live with them."
I finally finish my make up, only needing to put on my lipstick. I turn around and see Quinn, she is hell of a lot bigger than when I last saw her, but she had the pregnancy glow about her.
"Holy shit, Quinn, you are looking gorgeous. How far along are you now?" I ask, walking towards her.
I see a blush crawl up her neck to her cheeks, "Oh, thank you and I am 6 months now. Another 3 months and she'll be here."
"Can I?" I ask, nodding towards her bump, she rolls her eyes but smiles and nods. I put my hand on her growing stomach, in awe. "I can't believe it, and you already know what you're having."
Santana laughs, "No, she doesn't want to know, but I have been saying her all this time now, Quinn picked it up and now she cant stop."
"Something about her Mexican third eye." Quinn answered my confused look.
I look shocked at Santana, I got up and smacked her across the head, "Santana, we are Puerto Rican, not Mexican." Santana pouted and started sniffling, "Oh shut up, you wimp. I gotta get dressed and put my lipstick on!"
After I get dressed, all the family plus Quinn get out of the house to get into the cars. I was talking to my niece who was being buckled into the car when I felt a pair of hands on my hips and a soft voice in my ear.
"You are looking amazing." The only voice that will make me shiver and hot at the same time.
"Jade, you were supposed to only see me at the show." I said, whining, turning around, pushing her back a little, taking in what she was wearing. She's standing there, knee high flat boots, black tights, black frilly skirt and a black tank over a blue one. I noticed she changed her highlight colour as well too blue. I look to her hand and see the one ring I thought I lost around three years ago.
"Well, I don't like surprises." She said, pushing me away lightly, like I did to her. "And I still don't like the fact I can't convince you to just let us kiss sometimes."
I laugh, looking around at my family, who were thankfully all in their cars. I grab Jade's hand and go to the window my mom was sitting.
"Mama, Jade is going to drive me, as we are preforming one after another." I said, kissing her on the cheek and waving at everyone when they drove past. When they all turned the corner of the street, I grabbed Jade hand once again and pulled her to her house.
"Lizzie, you are kind of hurting my arm." Jade said, raising her voice.
I stop and drop her arm from my hold, pointing my finger at her, pushing her again. "Why did you have to say that by the cars, anyone could of heard." I yelled.
"Oh by anyone, do you mean Quinn?" She yelled back.
"Oh my god, I am not going through this again." I threw my hands up, walking back to my house, "I swear to god Jade, if I am late for my performance, it is going to be all your fault."
"Yeah, because god forbid you actually have to stay in school and get to know me more." Jade yelled, staying stood in front of her garage.
I roll my eyes and turn back, looking at her, "Is that what this is really all about? The fact that I will be graduating school next month and I wont be in school anymore." I see Jade turn her head and look down. "I can't believe this, I can't deal with this right now." I walk away, getting into my house by the spare keys to get my car keys.
"Lizzie, wait, I didn-" Jade tired to say, suddenly by my car.
"I don't care, Jade!" I scream, "You think I don't know you, but you know I know you more than you know yourself. We have had one too many arguments, dealing with other women, I can't do it anymore." I unlock my car and jump in, starting the engine, I roll my window down, looking to the pale girl, "You better get to the school, you are still performing tonight." I rev my engine, making her move away. I back out the drive and speed down to the school.
I made it to the school in time for my slot. I ran into the back stage area, five minutes to spare. I go over to my designated area back stage and see Beck waiting for me.
"Beth, what the hell, you are so late." He said, bring me into a hug.
"I am sorry, I had a bit of a problem." I answer, falling into his arms, wrapping my arms around his waist. "Thank you for doing this with me, you sure you don't mind it?"
"Hell no, if it means I get to be close to your magnificent body I would never mind." Beck whispered, putting his head in my neck.
"Beckett Oliver, don't start something you can't finish." I whispered back, pushing him away. When I turned around, I see my pale gorgeous girl, looking at me with hurt and anger in her eyes. I turn back around to Beck, my hand grabbing his shirt and pulling him to the curtain.
"I am guessing it was a West problem you had then?" Beck asked, looking behind him.
"Scared, Oliver?" I asked back, smirking. I laugh when he shook his head as they called my name to come to the stage.
I saunter on the stage, walking towards the microphone. Head held high, smile on my face. waiting for Lane to stop with the introduction.
"Give it up for Beth Smith." Lane shouted, and I hear everyone in my family scream.
"Good evening student, parents and faculty. I just have one thing to say about my song. When I first started at this school, a lot of people judged me for my blonde hair and sweet smile, in reality I was darker than they thought. This song is just a little shout out to those who underestimated me. Enjoy." When I finished the music started, I look to the side and see Beck coming on to the stage.
I take the microphone out of the stand and me and Beck stand face to face, both of us smirking, or sides facing the audience. I see Jade standing at the side of the stage.
White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleepin', you're on your tippy toes
Creepin' around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
I slowly get onto my knees in front of him, looking up at him, tilting my head to the side, showing my almost innocence.
Bruises on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical
I stand up and push him with every time I say "guy".
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I look to the audience, shrugging my shoulders.
I'm the bad guy
I like it when you take control
Even if you know that you don't
Own me, I'll let you play the role
I'll be your animal
My mommy likes to sing along with me
But she won't sing this song
If she reads all the lyrics
She'll pity the men I know
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy, duh
I grab Beck, wrap my non microphone arm around his neck, pulling his face closer to my face.
I'm only good at being bad, bad
I like when you get mad
I guess I'm pretty glad that you're alone
You said she's scared of me?
I mean, I don't see what she sees
But maybe it's 'cause I'm wearing your cologne
I'm a bad guy
I'm, I'm a bad guy
Bad guy, bad guy
I'm a bad
The crowd applaud, I hear my family screaming, chanting my name. I look to the left and see Lane coming on to the stage with a disapproving look on his face.
I walk past him just simply saying, "If I don't pass with this song, it's only going to get more graphic." I carry on walking with a smirk and walk past Jade, no acknowledgement at all. I just kept walking, but in my heart of hearts, I was crushed, if she thinks I am constantly going after Quinn then she will never trust me if we were to ever really get together.
I come out from back stage to the audience so I can go and stand with my family. I see Santana and Quinn first.
"Hey, girls, what did you think?" I ask, one arm around their shoulders.
"Very good, bee, but are you sure you'll pass with that song?" Santana asked, looking worried for me.
"Oh boo boo, you worry about me too much, plus I told the guidance counsellor if I don't pass with that song it's just going to get worse." I answered, pulling them both closer to me.
The girls laugh and we make our way closer to the rest of the family, Maggie noticing me and jumping on me, making me lift her up. We were all chatting, until we heard;
"Next up to the stage we have, Jade West."
I hope you all enjoyed that, the next chapter will definitely follow on straight after this one finishes.
All my love to those I know have been coming back and reading my updates!
