Italicized Text is Thinking

Regular Text is Talking

Bold and Italicized Text is Text messaging

Jade POV

I woke up wrap in Beck's arms on Saturday morning, feeling really good. I smile when I thought about yesterday. The talk turned out a lot better than I thought it was going to be. We decided that the best course of action would be we ask Vega out for lunch and talk to her about her joining us in a relationship. Beck is going to text her because it would be less suspicious since we haven't had the best relationship since she came to HA.

That last thing made me stop and think, "What happens if she doesn't want to be in a relationship with me because of the horrible things that I said or done?" I bite my lip. I can feel myself starting to stress out over this.

I was so wrapped up in my head that I didn't realize that Beck woke up. "Good morning, beautiful." He pulls me closer into his chest and lightly rub my back.

"Morning," I say softly, laying my head on his chest.

He paused his movement, "Okay, what's going on now in that head of yours? Before we went to bed, you were ecstatic about our plans for Tori and now all that excitement disappear."

"What happens if she doesn't want to be with me and she just wants you?" The words spill out my mouth before I can stop it.

He stays quiet for a bit, "Then we figure it out from there. I like Tori and I would like to date her but I love you more and if you're unhappy, that makes me unhappy. Just know that whatever happens and whatever we all decide to do, that I love you and will be there for you." Then he laughs, "Besides, you never know, Tori might want to date you and not me."

I scoffed, "Why wouldn't she want to date you? You're funny, smart, handsome and so talented. She would be a fool to pass you up."

He hum, "I can say the same for you too. You're funny, smart, beautiful and so talented. She would be a fool to pass you up. So, tell me why she wouldn't want to date you?"

"You're not the one who basically torture her since she came to our school." I sigh, "You're pretty much been a really nice guy to her."

"Jade, I'm not going to lie. You have been pretty mean to her since she got here but there been times when you actually help her out and that you show Tori that you care about her. Also, Tori is not always the nice girl in this, she gave back as much as she got. The revenge kiss on her second day of school should be obvious enough. That is a clear example that Tori can stand up for herself." He put his hand under my chin and coach me to look at him. He gave me a soft smile on his face, "So, just relax. You can get through whatever mess we are about to get ourselves into. You're Jade West, resident badass and you are going to own it. Okay?"

I nod my head and smirk,"You're right! I got this." I proudly proclaim

"Good, so I'm going to text Tori and ask her if she can meet us for lunch." He grabs his phone and text out a message. He read out loud what he types:

Hey Tori, I was wondering if you happen to be free...say around noonish to eat lunch with me and Jade? We know this really awesome diner that sells burgers and milkshakes.

I nod my head and he press send, "I guess we wait." I say as I get up and head to the bathroom and do my business. When I came out, Beck is sitting on the bed with a smile on his face. He shows me the screen of his phone:

Hey, I would love to come. Do you mind picking me up? It would be easier to go together than separately.

I smile, "Tell her that we can pick her up."

He texts her back and throws his phone on the bed. We each took a separate shower and got dress. Luckily, I leave clothes over here at Beck's place, so I don't have to go home and deal with my step-mother. I put on a black t-shirt with a picture of my favorite horror film, "The Scissoring" and a black, crinkle skirt and my black combat boots. I decided to go with a more curling look with my hair and leave my makeup simple today.

Beck put on a white shirt on with a blue and red short sleeve button up shirt on over it but left it unbutton, regular blue jeans and his brown boots. I'll admit that I'm a bit jealous that he didn't have to do anything with his hair.

We grab our stuff and left to head to Vega's place. I decided to drive this time, so it gives me something to do when she gets in the car. Also, I don't want to blurt things out before we are ready to tell her.

We pull up to Vega's place and I honk the horn to let her know we're outside. After a few minutes, Vega walks out with a red camisole on with a pair of white daisy duke shorts on. She had a jean jacket on and her hair is pulled up in a ponytail that has a few braids in it. She had on a pair of red and white vans on. "Wow...she looks so gorgeous." Beck turns to me and raises an eyebrow to say a silent, "Wow".

Vega gets into the car, "Hey guys, thanks for inviting. You save me from having to deal with a boring Saturday by myself." She had on her megawatts smile on. I give her a silent, "Whatever". Beck turn around in his seat, "It was no problem, we...I think that it would be good for the three of us to hang out more, just the three of us." Beck was always good at making everything sound casual. I'm more of the dramatic one between the two of us.

I pull off and head towards the diner. Beck and Tori were the ones to fill in most of the silence in the car with me chiming in with a few things here and there. We get to the small mom and pop type diner. It looks like those diners that you see in "Grease" or any shows or movies that are based on the 50's. It's own by this older couple, Janet and Earl, who owned this restaurant for over 30 years and they still make the best food around.

Janet is this sweet 50-year-old woman who treats everybody like they are her own kids. She is a sassy, no-nonsense woman though who won't let you get away with being disrespectful. Earl is about the same age and he is the grandfather that everybody would love to have. He loves to crack jokes and he doesn't let anything bother him.

I park the car and turn off the engine. I give Beck a quick glance and got out the car. We head on inside and all I can think was, "I hope everything turns out okay."
