Beck POV
Jade has been acting really weird all week. Luckily for her, she is a really great actress, so she was able to hide it from the rest of the gang. She tries to hide it from me, like what happened earlier in the storage but I knew her for too long that I can see past her mask. The final nail in the coffin was today when she lied about our weekend plans. I know that her brother is out of town with their dad and their stepmother. I feel bad for making her this tense when I ask her what is going on but I'm too nervous on what can possibly be bugging her. Her reaction is not helping the feeling going away.
We stop at a red light and I turn to look at her. She was biting her look so hard, I was afraid that she might start bleeding. She was looking at her hands, twirling and twisting her fingers around. She was itching for her favorite pair of scissors, it was the only thing that helps her calm down and ground her back into reality. Her hair is blocking most of her face from me, I can't see her expressive eyes.
"Come on Jade, tell me what is going on in that beautiful brain of yours." I pleaded inside my head. I pull off at the green and I hear her sigh, "Can we wait until we get inside of the RV first?" she asks in a quiet voice that she only use in private. I reach one of my hands over to grab one of her hands and give it a soft kiss, "Of course." We drove to my place in silence.
When we reach my RV, I only got as far as putting the car in park when Jade jumps out the car and head on inside. I hope that whatever she gots to tell me that it won't end up with us breaking up. I turn off the car and took a deep breath. I purposely took my time, dragging out the minutes to try to mentally prepare myself for what can possibly going to happen.
I walk inside to see Jade in mid-stride as she paces back and forth. She froze when she saw me. I gesture towards my bed for her to have a seat. She bites her bottom lip and sits down, me following behind her. I grab her hand, needing to touch her, to ground myself here.
We sat there for a few minutes but it felt like a lifetime. "Jade, whatever it is, you can tell me. I will still be here for you." I reassure her, needing this silence to end.
That seems to bring her back. She smiles and a small, "I know." She let out a sigh and started to talk, "So, you know that I love you right and I love being with you?" I nod my head to answer her question and gesture to keep going, "Before I say what I'm about to say, just know that I'm not breaking up with you."
I let out a breath that I didn't know that I was holding in, "Oh, thank god." I lean in to kiss her in happiness. I pull back, "Sorry, I'm just happy to hear that you don't want to break up. Continue on."
She rolls her eyes, "Of course I don't want to break up. This relationship is the best thing that I ever had and I wouldn't give it up for the world. I do want to change our dynamic though."
I look at her confuse,"What do you mean?"
"I mean that I want to add another person into our dynamic." She hesitantly let out. This time, I'm the one who freezes up and my brain shut down. "What? Who? Why?" was the only thing that I can let out.
"In order? The what is I said that I want to add another person into our dynamic. The who is Tori and the why is because I really like her and I want to see how it will be to be in a relationship with her." Jade explains. My brain is trying to compute with what she just said but then one thing that kept replaying, "Wait, did you just said Tori? As in Tori Vega? As in the girl that you pretty much been terrorizing since she came to Hollywood Arts? That Tori?" The questions spilling out before I can stop them.
A nervous laugh left her lips, "Haven't been the most honest when it comes to my feelings towards Tori. When she first came to HA, the reaction that I had was real. I was jealous because I thought it was some random chick hitting on boyfriend and that kiss you guys had really did pissed me off. As time goes on and I got to know her more and more and she help us get back together, I started to like her. First as a friend and then it started to become more. I couldn't let nobody see my real feelings for her, which is why I still incredibly mean to her and still call her by her last name."
As Jade was talking, I notice a glimmer in her eyes as she was talking and I can see that everything she was saying, she meant it. She kept going, "Also, I think that you like her too." That left me shock, "What do mean by good for us? I never said that I like Tori more than a friend or indicate any romantic feeling." I rush out.
Jade laugh, "Babe, I have seen the way you look at her. You look at her the same way you look at me. At first, I was jealous and I was going to call you out on it but I knew that you will never cheat on me or break up with me for her. Which me get to a place when I can talk to you about my feelings."
I blink, "How did I get so lucky to have this wonderful woman in my life." I clear my throat, "Okay, you're right. I always kinda had a thing for her but I push it aside for you and our relationship." She kisses me, "I know and I'm telling you that it's okay and we should try to bring her into our relationship."
I pull her into my arms, "Alright, what's the plan."
