Marilyn opened her laptop and started tracking Jade's device; she looked at the screen slightly surprised and chuckled a little so they looked at each other confused. "What's so funny?" Tori asked coldly.

"Nothing, it's just that while you've been worried, Jade has been having quite some fun" Marilyn responded and turned the computer to them. "As you can see, she's been in many different bars and clubs all over the city, some of them in really bad neighborhoods…we don't know what she might've been doing, some of the addresses aren't public places, they're houses"

"What is that supposed to mean?" Beck asked.

"That your ex has been partying, maybe with other people, who knows?" She responded.

"Jade's not like that, she doesn't like partying with strangers" Andre affirmed.

"Well, it looks like she does now…" Marilyn said and chuckled. "She's in a bar right now, she's been there since 5pm, you can go look for her" she suggested and they nodded as Beck looked at the address. "You could say thank you"

"She wouldn't be there if it weren't for you" Tori said coldly and they walked out. Beck immediately drove everyone to the bar, which was in the other side of the city so they drove for almost two hours and when they got there it was already dark so they were hoping to still find her there.

They walked into the ugly place, which was full of smoke and men drinking while some girls danced by a pole and they looked at each other confused as to why Jade would go to a place like that. They looked around trying to find her but they couldn't spot her so they decided to talk to the barman. "Hey, amm…we were wondering if you've seen this girl" Beck asked and showed him a picture of Jade on his phone.

"Oh…yes, the crazy hottie" The forty year old man said and Beck stared at him coldly but he didn't say anything because he needed the answer. "She showed up this afternoon…pretty high and wasted, she was with another girl, they were both a mess but she insisted that I gave them drinks and she had a lot of money so I gave them what they wanted, they chatted and laughed for a while, they made out a few times and then…"

"And then what?" Beck asked.

"Well, she drank a lot and a few hours later the other girl left, then this man came, sweet talked her, invited her some coke which she accepted immediately…and she started getting worse, I don't even think she knew what was going on at that point but she left with him" The man informed and they looked at each other worriedly.

"How long ago?" Tori asked.

"Maybe thirty minutes, I know that guy…he's a dealer, lives a couple of blocks away" He responded. "Three story building, very old…you'll recognize it, it's the only house that's not painted"

"Thank you" Beck said and they rushed out of the bar to find Jade.

"What's going on with Jade? I can't believe what that man just said" Tori commented.

"She must be living to the extreme" Andre suggested.

"But this is not the way, she's gonna overdose" Beck affirmed. "That son of a bitch better not be taking advantage of this"

"He took her with him for a reason" Andre said mortified and then they saw the house so Beck parked there and immediately walked inside because it was all open. The place was actually almost abandoned, all the apartments were empty so they simply ran upstairs waiting for someone to appear.

They got to the last floor and saw the messy apartment, everything was dirty and old; they saw the mattress on the ground in front of a TV and some injections on the table, along with cocaine and weed. There was Jade's jacket on the couch so Beck got more worried, especially because there was no sign of her but then they heard her laugh coming from above so they ran to the roof.

When they got to the roof they saw Jade standing on the edge with her arms open and the man trying to get her down. "Come on, baby, let's play for a bit…you don't want to be up there" He said as he tried to reach her but she ignored him and kept walking. "I promise you'll like what I'm gonna do with you, just get down here…I'll give you more coke if you want, or something better, just come!" He demanded smiling.

"Step back, asshole" Beck ordered as he walked towards them.

"Who the hell are you?" The man asked upset.

"Her boyfriend, now get the hell away from her" He demanded.

"No, no, no…whores don't have boyfriends, don't try to play me…She owes me, that bitch has got to pay for what she swallowed, she was about to pay me but then she decided to pretend she is a fucking bird" The man commented angrily. "And she's not leaving this building until I get what I want"

"She is not a whore and you better stay away if you don't want a hell of a problem on your shoulders, her father will destroy you" Beck threatened. "Here, take the money and get away" He said and gave him some cash. The man simply stared at them angrily but decided to avoid problems and left the building.

Jade hadn't even noticed her friends were there, she was just staring at the city and down at the street imagining what falling down would feel like. "Jade!" Beck said once he was closer and she turned to them; they hadn't seen her closely but when they did, they were shocked. Jade was wearing a dress with ragged stockings underneath, her face had some dust marks, big eye bags, messy hair, her eyes were red and she looked paler than usual.

"Wow…no wonder they thought she was a prostitute and a junkie" Andre commented.

"Andre!" Tori exclaimed.

"Sorry…"

"Jade, come here" Beck demanded as he tried to reach her arm but she stepped back and shook her head.

"What are you all doing here?" Jade asked confused, she was high but she remembered everything clearly. "Yes, they set me free too!" she said and smiled.

"We came for you, we need to talk to you" Beck responded. "Please get down here, we'll take you home"

"I'm home" Jade said and they shook their heads. "Well, actually…I don't have a home, so I'm looking for one" she commented giggling.

"Yes, you do…with your dad!" Tori affirmed and Jade chuckled ironically.

"My dad, sure…He didn't even blink when he saw me and he probably won't notice if I don't go back" Jade commented and looked down but turned to them again. "Nothing really matters anymore, I've tried to find a new meaning but I've discovered I don't care about anything"

"Jade, come here" Beck demanded again and then Jade grabbed something from her back, she showed it to them and they immediately stepped back because it was a small pistol. "Jade…" He said nervously because she was smirking at them.

"This one is charged" Jade informed and chuckled. "Wanna see?"

"No, thanks" Cat responded scared but Jade pulled the trigger anyway and they screamed scared but she had aimed it at a brick behind them.

"Give me that and come here, please" Beck demanded.

"You know, I've done everything I never did before in the last week and nothing seems to fulfill me…I feel empty" Jade commented and looked down at the street. "I think it's time to rest"

"What are you talking about? No! Jade, get back here" Beck said seriously because he was afraid she would commit suicide.

"I've been thinking a lot and I've come to the conclusion that you actually did me a favor by lying to me, you know? You were right when you said if it hadn't been because of that, I would've killed myself loooooong ago" Jade commented sincerely. "So thank you, doesn't mean I forgive you but it was good to be happy even if it wasn't real"

"It was real, Jade, we need to talk…come here please" Beck demanded desperately but she simply stepped back while keeping eye contact and he stepped towards her. "Don't" He said as she turned to the side with her back to the side of the street. Jade opened her arms and took a breath before letting herself fall back.
