Receiving an alert from her girlfriend wasn't what Jade was expecting at lunch. Opening the message, she discovered that Beck and Alyssa had finally been spotted. She looked around for her girlfriend or Beck. She needed one of them to know it was going to be ok.
Jade was extremely alarmed. Her parents have a chance of not seeing the news, but this was going to be huge for the school meaning her parents would find one way or another. This was one of Jade's worst fears. She didn't want the fake relationship exposed.
It was unbelievable about how Beck was acting like he didn't care. He didn't care that Jade would probably force Jade out to her parents. All he had to was keep his relationship a secret. He agreed to it like Tori agreed to it.
Jade was extremely on edge. She had lashed out at Tori for no reason but immediately apologized. She couldn't focus on homework. Now, she was standing in front of her best friend thinking he wants out of their fake relationship. Not that he would talk to her about it. Jade hated how Beck and Alyssa both weren't stressed out about them being spotted on their date.
While discussing this, her girlfriend happened to walk down the stairs. Jade was going to leave Tori out of it, but Beck brought her in. Hearing him give the hypothetical of Tori being his girlfriend did not sit well with Jade because Tori's was hers.
"Honestly, I wouldn't love it." Tori answered Beck's question of being friends with Alyssa Vaughn. Tori knew the truth seeing as she is Jade's girlfriend, but it helped that Tori seemed to want the cover of Beck and Jade's "relationship."
They had a healthy relationship. They were very communicative and trusting. Jade loved that Tori was her and that she was Tori's. They had built an understanding of each other, and Tori had been working to understand Jade's insecurities more.
Making a quick decision, Jade decided to pull the trigger. "We're done." She motioned between her and Beck before walking away. She knew she left her stunned girlfriend behind but she needed to get away from Beck. She was mad at her best friend for not caring about her.
"Come see my one woman show Friday night." Trina stopped her and gave her a flyer. She was the last person Jade needed to see when she was angry. She shoved the flyer down Trina's shirt as she stormed off.
Her girlfriend was concerned about her especially when Beck posted pictures of him and Alyssa hanging out on TheSlap. She couldn't believe him. She hated that Tori felt like she was in the middle of the two of them.
Over the weekend, Jade spent time at the Vega household cuddling with her girlfriend watching whatever the Latina wanted to watch. It didn't matter to Jade. She just wanted to be near her girlfriend. She was thankful Tori didn't force her to talk about her and Beck's fight.
On Monday, Sinjin and his friend attempted to sit with her. That was an immediate no when they sat. Jade wasn't making herself suffer through that. When her girlfriend sat next to her, it did feel better until Tori decided to bring it up in front of Andre.
Making it clear that she left Beck to both of them, they all went to their lunches until Alyssa showed up to drop Beck off. It ticked Jade off because Beck and Alyssa agreed that this would never go on Hollywood Arts property. They would keep their relationship away from school.
Her girlfriend never got the chance to meet Alyssa since she had yet to be around the three of them. Jade was scared of what her girlfriend would think of Alyssa because Tori could easily like Alyssa more than her. "Is that Alyssa Vaughn?"
Jade could hear it in her voice. Her girlfriend was amazed and possibly attracted to Alyssa. "Yeah, so?"
The singer immediately fixed herself after she knows that Jade's insecurities were coming out. "Nothing, she's gross." Tori said in the fakest voice.
Jade did appreciate the effort Tori was trying to show her. It made her feel like her girlfriend truly cared about her, but Andre had to go on about how hot Alyssa was. It did not help her insecurity at all because it made her think of Tori leaving her for someone like Alyssa. The suffocating thought made her suffocate her burrito.
Later in the afternoon, Jade showed up to her girlfriend's house unannounced. She needed her girlfriend and missed her best friend. The loneliness is too much when she was alone, but Tori and her still had to keep up appearances.
She walked instead of asking for the car. She didn't want to face her mother in case she would figure out what was going on outing her in the process. Finding the kite was unintentional, but Jade grabbed it just in case Tori had others over or family so she would have an excuse.
They went back and forth about the kite until they both knew Trina wasn't listening anymore. "I want Beck back." Jade cried out to her girlfriend. She was worried how Tori was going to feel about this outburst.
"You broke up with him!" Her girlfriend said crossing her arms. "I thought that's what you wanted. You were confident about it two nights ago."
It made Jade start crying more. "Yeah, but I miss my best friend. I know I have you, but I need someone else like you have Andre."
"Babe, if you want to fix this with Beck, you need to go to him. I'll support you through this. Are you wanting to get back together with him?" Tori asked curiously as she sat down next to the actress.
Jade leaned on her girlfriend who put her arm around Jade pulling her closer. "I would prefer it, but if you just want him and I to be friends and not fake relationship, then I'm willing to do that. I just miss my best friend."
"Have you talked to him?" Tori asked while rubbing her shoulder.
Nodding, Jade enjoyed the scent of her girlfriend. "He was mad and didn't want to talk to me." After pausing, "Can you talk to Beck please?"
"Yeah, I'll talk to Beck." Tori kissed the top of Jade's head. "C'mon, let me hold you for a little longer."
-Line Break-
When Tori went to talk to Beck, it was brought up that Jade hadn't done many nice things for him. Which Jade could admit she's guilty of, but she didn't know what exactly to get him sometimes. He seemed to always get what he wanted anyways.
It was making her see how to be a great girlfriend for Tori because Tori didn't seem too thrilled that was her gift idea and reason. Jade just needed the question answer, "Do I have a boyfriend or don't I?" When Sinjin approached them, Jade wasn't going to let him near her girl.
When Tori told her to forget about Beck, Jade couldn't let the thought grow. This was her best friend that they were talking about. Her best friend for years. When the tears started filling her eyes at the thought, she had to grab her girlfriend and run to the closet before anyone could watch her cry.
Under normal circumstances, Jade would've rather used this moment to make out with her girlfriend at school and enjoy being close to her. Instead, she needed to get her best friend back. It was tearing her apart that Beck didn't want to repair their friendship, and how Tori was starting to seem hurt that she was this upset.
When her girlfriend said she hadn't done anything nice for him in two years, Jade knew it was true, but that didn't mean she didn't try. Beck hadn't done much for her either, but she didn't mind because their friendship was so great. "Do I make him fresh lemonade?"
"Baby, please, stop thinking beverages. Think bigger. What would you like to receive from me?" Tori asked as she walked closer to her near enough to pull her into a kiss.
She remembered that Beck always spoke of getting a pet. "Dog."
"No, we're not reliving my first day." Her girlfriend went to walk away but she stopped her.
"No, no, Beck really wants a dog. A rott-something."
"A Rottweiler?" Her girlfriend supplied.
"That's it!"
When the guy in the corner popped up, the girlfriends looked at each other scared. Tori trying to get her out of the closet as fast she could before herself. It was sweet and another reason why Jade really did like her girlfriend.
-Line Break-
Getting the dog was surprisingly easy, and the girlfriends actually bonded really well with the dog. Jade almost wished her or Tori were keeping him, but Beck really wanted a dog. She was going to finally give him one. Seeing her girlfriend get a dog to blow his nose was impressive.
When they released the dog into the trailer, they didn't expect the dog to go crazy. The shelter said he was a sweet dog. Beck showing up terrified them more. This was starting to feel like Beck was never going to give her another chance at friendship.
Jade felt horrible for Beck's dad especially since Beck's parents already didn't like her. That didn't mean she wanted them to get hurt for her actions, but they missed the fact that the dog preferred females. She just wanted her best friend back.
When she threw her girlfriend under the bus, she felt bad but did it from nerves. She came clean to Beck. "I know you wanted a dog. I just wanted to fix our friendship, and you've always wanted a dog, so Tori helped me get you one. I'm sorry." Beck pulled her in for a hug and gave a pat on the back. "We're friends again?"
They pulled back. "Who said we weren't?"
"Aw." Tori cooed from a far. Both staring at her. "Sorry."
"Look, if we go back to how things were, we've got to loosen up the rules. You can't be overbearing like my actual girlfriend. Do that for Tori." Beck offered.
Jade wore a big smile before hugging him again. "Deal."
On Jade's way home, she drove Tori home. They held hands as they quietly drove through the streets enjoying the comfortable silence. The drive was too short as they reached Tori's street. Stopping a few houses down, they shared several kisses before completing the trip.
