Beck thought about what his friends had said and the more he analyzed it, the more he agreed with them. He loved Jade, that wasn't a question in his mind and he hated to know she'd been capable of all those horrors but when he actually followed Tori's advice to remember how much those men had tortured Jade, he felt the rage going through his body and suddenly their murders didn't seem as bad.

Next day Beck decided to finally talk to Jade, he wanted to talk about everything that had happened, he was willing to forgive her and he wanted to apologize for his words the previous day in class, he knew he'd been cruel and inappropriate. He saw her taking some things from her locker and he decided to approach her.

"Hey" Beck said and Jade glared at him.

"If you're here to repeat that I deserve what happened and that you hope those bastards had fun raping me, then I can tell you they did" Jade said angrily trying not to cry and closed her locker. "Have a nice day" She added coldly and tried to walk away but he grabbed her arm.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think when I said that…I know it was a horrible thing to say and I want to apologize, I could never wish you harm, I'm so sorry" Beck said sincerely and she looked at him confused.

"Why the sudden change? Yesterday you could barely contain yourself, I could see it…I could see you wanted to say more things to me but we weren't alone" Jade commented.

"I talked to our friends and they made me realize I have no right to judge you and I have thought about it a lot too, I spent the last days just remembering you killing those men, that's why I was so angry but yesterday I finally thought about that night, I remembered and…" Beck said as he looked down and sighed. "I know they hurt you a lot, I know I could never understand your pain and I would never ever think you deserved it, I was an idiot for saying that"

"Are you being serious?" Jade asked surprised and he nodded.

"Every time I close my eyes and remember the morning we found you, completely lost in your mind…beaten, bloody, hurt, I feel so much rage going through my body" Beck said as he took a small breath to keep himself calm and wiped a couple of tears away. "I would have killed them myself that day if I'd had the chance, that's the truth and I can't blame you now, it's hypocritical and I don't want to do it anymore, I know you killed them because they hurt you and they deserved it, I know you wouldn't actually hurt other people" He said and she smiled not believing her eyes. "What I really want to say is that…I love you, I do and I'm sorry for all the things I said, I'm sorry for how I made you feel, I just want everything to be normal again"

"Beck, I…" Jade said still shocked.

"I know I was a jerk but I was overwhelmed, I'm sorry" Beck said. "Do you want us back?"

"Are you sure?" Jade asked and he nodded.

"Yes, I love you and I don't want to feel like this anymore, I just want to forget and I want to help you forget" Beck said and grabbed her hands. "But I need you to promise me this is over, please, no more blood, no more deaths on your hands" He demanded and Jade looked at him mortified, she still had one person to go but she loved him, she loved him more than anything and she didn't want to lose him.

"I promise"

Beck and Jade got back together and she started hanging out with her friends again, they all tried their best to ignore what had happened and not talk about it; they found it to be the easiest way to deal with it. One day the gang was at Tori's house waiting for Jade and for the pizza, they were having movies night.

"Is she coming?" Tori asked as she walked to the living room.

"Yes, stuck in traffic" Beck said referring to Jade but then his phone rang. "Hello" He said casually.

"Hello Beck, please put the phone on speaker" A male voice said.

"Who is this?" He asked.

"Someone who's going to save your life" The man said. "Put the phone on speaker, you all need to hear this" The man said and Beck did.

"It's on speaker now, who are you and what do you want?" Beck questioned.

"Listen, I know you are with your friends at Tori's house but don't be scared, I don't stalk you…I just heard it from someone you know" The man said, his voice sounded nervous and shaky. "Jade said it, not to me…to her victims, she was in a rush because she had to meet with you so I guess she'll get there soon"

"What are you talking about?" Beck questioned.

"Your friend, that crazy bitch just killed five people without mercy" The man informed as his voice broke and they looked at each other confused and surprised. "Ricky, John, their mother Anna, their little sister Lucy and their uncle Ron, I live in the same building and I saw it all"

"What? That's not true" Tori said.

"It is, I will send you the photos…I took them myself, she was ruthless, she started talking about how they knew too much and she couldn't leave any loose ends and she shot them all right there" The man informed. "I have this number because she mentioned your name, Beck Oliver…her boyfriend and I googled it, she said you were behaving as she expected but that if things were to change, she would get rid of you and your friends too, all of you are in danger"

"You're lying" Beck affirmed.

"No I'm not, she said she especially wanted to get rid of Tori for being a flirty slut and for always taking what was supposed to be hers, I don't know any of you personally but I guess Jade has problems with her" The man said and they looked at each other surprised and confused because they didn't understand how he could know about their issues; Tori and Jade didn't get along all the time but Tori hadn't imagined Jade hated her that much.

"Oh my god" Andre said as he shook his head.

"I'm serious, that psycho is not kidding…she is out to get you, right now she only plans on killing Tori, she'll try to make it seem an accident, she told her plan to her victims and it's only a matter of time before she snaps and decides the rest of you are a threat too" The man affirmed. "I heard her talking about you, I can assure you she doesn't feel any regard for you, she doesn't feel remorse or guilt, please be careful, she is dangerous"

"How do we know you're not lying?" Beck questioned.

"Listen I'll send you the photos and you figure out what to do yourselves, just know you can't trust that lunatic…she snaps from one moment to the other and one day you could be the ones with a bullet in your heads" The man said and hung up.

"What was that?" Robbie asked creeped out and then Beck got a message with several pictures of the dead bodies, the woman, the girl and the old man were unknown to him but the other two young men were the same ones they'd seen at the factory.

"Oh my god" Beck said appalled and shook his head. "This can't be happening, she said she wouldn't do it, she promised me…" he said sad and angrily.

"It's them, it's the guys she threatened" Tori said and her eyes filled with tears, she was terrified of Jade after that call. "I guess she kept her word and now she is coming for me" she added scared.

"No, no, no she couldn't have done it" Beck affirmed as he shook his head but he deep inside believed she had. A minute later someone rang the bell and they turned to the door nervously but Andre went to open because Tori was too scared, she was just with Cat in the back.

"Hey, I bought some ice cream and cookies" Jade commented casually and saw their faces. "What's the matter? Did something happen?"

"Where were you?" Beck asked coldly.

"I was home and then in traffic and then at the store, why?" Jade asked back and looked at all of them. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Show me your purse" He demanded.

"What the hell is happening?" Jade questioned coldly and Beck walked towards her. "Tell me!"

"Explain this to me, Jade West" Beck said angrily as he showed her the photo and she looked at it confused, at first she didn't know what she was seeing but then she recognized Ricky and John so her eyes wide opened. "Recognize your work?"

"Beck no, no…You can't be thinking I…? No, I didn't do this" Jade affirmed. "Where did you even get these pictures?"

"I ask the questions here" He responded. "Show me your purse"

"Why?" She asked but he simply took it from her hand and as soon as he opened it he saw a small pistol inside it so he smiled disappointedly and shook his head.

"I can't believe this, you actually did it…YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!" He screamed and threw her purse to the floor angrily.

"I always carry a gun now, it makes me feel protected…it's not what you think" Jade explained as she picked up her purse and the gun, which had fallen out. "I didn't kill them, I haven't seen them in weeks"

"Don't, don't lie anymore I'm done believing you" Beck said.

"What did they ever do to you? What did I ever do to you?" Tori asked sadly and Jade looked at her confused.

"What?" Jade asked not understanding her question. "You?"

"I guess you got a taste for blood now…it's not just revenge, I thought you were different, I thought that that day in your car had been a joke but you actually wanted to do it, didn't you?" Tori asked upset with tears in her eyes.

"What are you talking about?" Jade asked back confused.

"Yes, what are you saying Tori?" Beck asked.

"I asked Jade for a ride one day and she gave me one…but she took me outside the city, there was nothing around and she had a shovel, I was scared so I jumped out of her car and I always thought she just wanted to scare me but now? I don't know" Tori said sincerely and Jade rolled her eyes but then smiled to herself as she remembered that day.

"What's so funny?" Beck questioned. "So you truly have been a god damn psycho all this time uh? I never wanted to see it but it was right in front of me"

"That was just a joke, please this is ridiculous" Jade said.

"I don't know, Jade, it doesn't seem a joke now…You might have been planning to hurt me since then and now you feel more confident because practice makes a master and you are one now, aren't you?" Tori asked trying to be brave but she was terrified.

"Shut the fuck up, you know nothing" Jade responded. "I didn't kill those people, you have to believe me!" she said to Beck.

"How can we? Tell me, how can we? WE SAW YOU THREATENING THEM!" Beck screamed angrily. "And now they're dead, what a big coincidence uh? The only person benefiting from their death is you"

"I didn't do it" Jade insisted.

"This makes ten people, TEN, do you know what that means? You've murdered ten people in matter of weeks" Beck commented as he shook his head and covered his face. "Most serial killers take years to get to this point"

"I'm not a serial killer" Jade responded.

"Your actions say otherwise" He said upset.

"Please don't kill us too" Cat said scared and Jade looked at her confused.

"Why would I kill you?" She asked.

"No loose ends, no witnesses, right? That's your motto and you just enforced it" Beck said as he showed her the pictures. "Someone called to warn us about you, someone saw you killing those poor people…innocents and they decided to let us know the kind of psychopath you truly are"

"Who?" Jade asked.

"Why do you wanna know? So you can kill them too? No, I won't help you with your next murder, I don't need that in my conscience…but I guess you don't understand that concept, but no need to worry, most serial killers don't" Beck responded coldly and she rolled her eyes as she chuckled with irony. "You promised you wouldn't lie to me, you said you would stop and this can't be justified, Jade, these people didn't deserve to die"

"I didn't kill them! You have to believe me" Jade affirmed. "The person who called you is lying, maybe they did it and they want to blame it on me"

"What for? Who would want to affect your reputation and why?" Beck asked and she thought about it but she couldn't think of a logical answer. "Stop trying to come up with a lie, you were caught and I wouldn't be surprised if the police show up soon" He said and she raised an eyebrow at him as the mortification in her face vanished into a cold glare.

"You'll tell the police?" Jade asked as she stepped forward with the gun in her hand and they looked at each other, they felt she was threatening them.

"Are you gonna shoot us now?" Beck asked and she raised the gun a little more while keeping her eyes on her friends so they were scared, they felt she would suddenly shoot and kill them.

"Answer me" Jade demanded as she kept the gun in her hand in a threatening way and Beck smiled disappointedly.

"This is you, the real you" He said sadly.

"Are you gonna call the police?" Jade questioned coldly. "Answer me!" She demanded angrily as she unlocked the gun and they moved back scared. "Don't move" she ordered and they looked at each other.

"Please don't hurt us" Tori said with tears in her eyes and Cat hid behind her trembling. Jade simply looked at them and sighed.

"I asked you a question, are you gonna tell the police what you know about me?" Jade asked again trying to remain calm and they looked at each other nervously. "Think about your answer and you better not lie to me"

"No we won't but someone will, the person who told us will probably tell them and then…it'll be over for you" Beck said and sighed sadly. "You have no idea how much this hurts me but you did it to yourself, there's nothing I can do for you now…I hope you can find peace someday, even if that's in prison"

"Please don't say that, I didn't kill them…believe me, I love you" Jade responded and he chuckled not believing his eyes.

"You've truly lost your mind, oh my god" Beck affirmed with a couple of tears streaming down his face. "You're threatening us with a gun, Jade" He said and she looked to the side ashamedly as she put it down.

"Okay I'm sorry, I didn't want to scare you…I got nervous but you know I would never hurt you" She affirmed.

"Do I? No, I don't know anything at this point, I do believe you're capable of pulling that trigger against us" Beck admitted and she stared at him mortified as she shook her head.

"I wouldn't hurt any of you, not even Vega" Jade said and put the gun in her purse. "You have to believe me, I'm your girlfriend"

"You were before you killed those innocent people and aimed that gun at us, we are done" He informed. "I'm sorry but this is too much, and if you wanna kill me go ahead, at this point nothing you do can surprise me" He said sadly and a tear streamed down her face but she nodded.

"Fine, if you want to believe a stranger over me, go ahead" She said coldly.

"I believe the facts, I believe what I just saw...You threatening to kill us if we dared call the police, how can you expect me to believe you didn't kill those people? They knew too much, more than we do and I know you're capable of pulling the trigger, I've seen you do it before" He responded.

"I didn't kill them but you don't trust me, that's the problem and there's nothing I can do or say to change that" Jade commented and sighed. "Goodbye Beck" She simply said and left so Beck sighed and sat down on the sofa.

"When will this nightmare end?" Tori asked mortified.

"When she's locked away I guess" Andre said sadly. "How can she expect us to believe her?"

"She is not the person we used to know" Beck responded. "That night truly changed her and now she has no conscience"

"I was so scared she would shoot us" Robbie said sincerely.

"Do you think they'll send her to jail?" Cat questioned sadly and Beck looked down completely heartbroken.

"I don't know but that's what she deserves"

Next day Jade arrived to class and saw her friends in their usual spots but she knew they felt uncomfortable around her so she sat away from them. "Good morning young adults" Sikowitz said as he walked into the classroom and dropped his bag on the stage. "Today is gonna be a good class, we are doing emotional changes…in acting you must be able to go from extreme sadness to extreme happiness to extreme anger and all the way around, it's gonna be fun" He said and they smiled.

"What are we gonna do?" Robbie asked.

"Well, first-"Sikowitz started but he was interrupted by Lane opening the door followed by two officers. "Yes, how can I help you?"

"Sorry to interrupt, Sikowitz but these officers have come with a warrant" Lane said.

"Sure, what do you need?" He responded.

"We are looking for Jade West" One of the cops asked and Jade felt her heart beating faster.

"It's me" Jade said as she stood up and they walked towards her. "What do you want?"

"You're under arrest for multiple homicide in the first degree"
