Welcome back and thank you very much to those who left the very kind reviews. :)
I do hope that this isn't playing with Andre's feeling as two reviews told me not to. As this is a Bade story, you probably can guess that Andre isn't getting his happily ever after with Jade. But I never wanted to be mean to him. And I think I'm not.
This is the jealousy chapter. There is only one more to follow to finish this story. I hope you enjoy and it's everything you expect out of a jealous Beck. ;)

(And I just now realized, as I wanted to add this chapter, that I hadn't put in the character?! I'm pretty sure I did but maybe I did something wrong. :/ I realized that you therefore possibly didn't know this was a Bade story... Though I said it before the first chapter. But I dearly hope noone expected anything different out of this now and hates me for it now.)

He couldn't believe himself.

Jade who had been so jealous through all their relationship had been so good about it afterwards.

Yes, Beck hadn't been on a date yet but he had flirted since then and he had had that opposite date with Tori which Jade probably had considered a real date more than anything. But she had't ripped their heads off.

And maybe she wouldn't with Meredith as well. Maybe that had actually been the reason why Beck had not wanted to ask anyone out. Because what would he do if Jade was totally fine with it? That would mean she absolutely didn't love him anymore, wouldn't it?

Her jealousy had always proven her love to him. Sometimes – rarely, but still – he had provoked it on purpose. But on other times, it had gone way too far which was why he had been impressed with her after she had caught him and Tori on the opposite date.

But maybe, there had been no reason at all to be impressed with her. Maybe she hadn't freaked out because she had already been completely over him.

He had known before yesterday that he still felt something for Jade. But that wasn't unnatural. They had been together for a long time and still saw each other every day. It was natural to still be a little hung up on her.

But he now realized that it wasn't just a little. He didn't just feel something. He still loved her with all his heart, with all his soul.

This was still crazy and much more inappropiate than Andre asking Jade out could have ever been: He actually followed them.

He looked up on the internet when the movie was on and went there himself. He sat a few rows behind Andre and Jade and couldn't have told you for his life what the movie actually was about afterwards. He had only eyes for these two people on their stupid date.

However, Andre didn't even put his arm around Jade. They didn't touch at all. Jade didn't lean to him at any point. Everything was alright.

But even if they would touch... They were on a date. It would be normal. He shouldn't get angry about it.

Yet, he was. He was already angry just seeing those two sitting next to each other, being on a date.

Was Jade really over him?

Over all those months, he had thought that whatever feelings he still had for Jade, she at least still felt the same for him. He now nearly laughed at the idea. Why shouldn't Jade have moved on already? Why shouldn't she date other guys and eventually fall for one? Marry him, have kids with him...

Beck was about to stand up and punch Andre just for the little chance that he would be that guy, when the movie was finally over.

The date wasn't yet, though. Talking, Andre and Jade got into Andre's car. Beck got into his own and stayed behind them.

He was glad to see that they didn't go somewhere to eat anymore, but Andre still had to bring Jade home.

Beck parked a little away but he could still see the driveway in which Andre had parked. And after a while, Andre and Jade both got out.

Instantly, Beck got out of his car as well. He knew what this meant. Andre would bring her to the door instead of saying good-bye to her in the car because it would be so much easier this way to truly kiss each other for the first time. Oh, Beck would kill him.

He followed them while they went up together to the door. They were still talking about the movie and Beck hated how Jade laughed about one of Andre's comments. She wasn't supposed to laugh like that, honestly happy and amused, about something Andre had said.

He stopped in the driveway, stepped behind the nearest bush.

He knew he was being extremely creepy but he didn't feel like he could leave. Jade was his girl after all. Well... Actually she wasn't, they were broken up but... still.

And there it was: the moment, Beck had known would come.

Jade had just unlocked her front door, they were bidding each other a good night, when Andre clearly went in for a kiss and Beck stepped out behind the bush again and hurried forward. He would beat Andre up. He would make him feel as bad as he felt this very moment, probably worse.

But before their lips even touched, Jade pushed Andre away.

Beck stopped in his tracks.

"What's going on?" Jade asked and Beck was already close enough to see her expressions clearly. She looked rather confused.

"I'm..." Andre started but didn't go on.

Jade slowly asked: "Did you just want to kiss me?"

Andre shrugged and Jade's eyes widened as if she just understood something, before she went on: "Do you think this was a date?"

Andre moved a small step back, seemed uncertain how to answer until he obviously decided for the truth: "Actually... Yeah, I kind of thought it was."

"Oh, my god," Jade said but not in a judging way, more worried than anything else. "I'm... I thought you just wanted to hang out. As friends. I... I don't want to..."

Beck felt like laughing out of relief. Wow. Jade hadn't even known this was a date. Now that Beck thought about it... Andre and Jade did hang out from time to time, just the two of them. They hadn't been alone to the movies yet but the two of them together with Cat had been, without the rest of the group. And Andre had never said anything about a date when he had asked her out. As it semed, Jade had been oblivious, although Beck didn't know how she couldn't have wondered about Andre asking her about it while they were alone – or maybe she hadn't noticed at all that Andre had asked her on purpose while they had been alone in the class room. And Beck could imagine that Andre had paid their tickets, as he always tried his best to be a gentleman on a date. Hadn't Jade wondered about that?

Whatever... Beck felt like laughing – or had felt like it until Jade suddenly looked over Andre's shoulder right at him.

A bewildered expression crossed her face. "Beck?"

Andre turned around and Beck was absolutely mortified. This had never been part of the plan. Nobody had been supposed to catch him while he... spied on his ex-girlfriend. Though it also wasn't like he ever had had a plan. It had just sort of happened. Him driving to the movies, watching those two the whole time, following them here...

Beck looked at Jade to know what she thought about this, if she judged him for it. He saw her crossing her arms in front of her chest, suddenly a very cold expression in her face, glaring at both of them.

"What is this?" she already asked harshly. "Are you messing with me? Is someone else here?"

Beck shortly glanced to Andre who looked more than uneasy and like he wanted to be anywhere in the world but here.

Beck was sorry for him – because he suddenly showed up and Andre obviously felt uncomfortable but also because his friend just got rejected – but he felt even more sorry for Jade.

He recognized her cold demeanor instantly as her masking her hurt. As it semed, she really believed she had been set up for a terrible joke. Her friends having a laugh about her honestly believing Andre could have feelings for her, wanting to date and kiss her.

Therefore, he hurried to say, taking a few steps forward, so that he stood with them: "Noone is messing with you, Jade. Andre really wanted to go on a date with you. Obviously, he wasn't too clear about that. As he and I are best friends and you are my ex-girlfriend, he asked me before if it would be cool with me and I guess I'm not as cool with it as I pretended to be."

He turned to look at Andre and said: "Sorry."

He looked back to Jade who glared at him for another second, before she also turned to face Andre, much softer: "I'm sorry. I really didn't..."

She searched for words for a moment but Andre used the pause to interrupt: "No. No, it's cool. I mean... I really wasn't too clear about it."

"Still," Jade said. "I hope this doesn't make anything weird." Because he was one of her very few friends.

"Nah," Andre replied, doing his best to sound calm and like he didn't care much about the rejection, letting his eyes wander between the two of them. "Well... I guess I will go now. It still was an awesome evening."

"It was," Jade nodded. "Thanks."

Andre nodded as well and went back to his car. Beck didn't watch him leave, had only eyes for Jade instead. She looked after him, looking truly sorry.

Beck swallowed, didn't know what to say or do. He probably should explain why he was here at all. Though he wasn't sure how Jade would react. Which was rare. He knew Jade better than anyone else after all.

He heard the engine of Andre's car roar and then the noise pull away. They were alone.
