Ok so first, MERRY CHRISTMAS! As my own personal gift to all my readers, I decided to write up the next chapter for this story, there are a couple things I want to warn you guys about though before you read.

First of all I do not own Victorious

Second of all, this chapter is very, very depressing... well in my opinion.

Third, this is a Bade fic, so don't worry :)

Fourth, um if you find that Jade overreacts, well I've always found Jade as the type to overreact alot so thats how I portrayed her.

Fifth, Beck may seem out of the ordinary because, well its Beck and hes not used to this happening :P

Beck gave a light tap on the door. He stood motionless as he heard the scrambling of multiple people from behind the door. He was already two hours late for Tori's movie night. It wasn't like he was stuck in traffic or anything though. Truth be told, he had spent the last hour and a half in his RV, some stupid part of him hoping desperately that Jade was going to show up. She hadn't, and without many other options left, Beck had managed to drag himself up to Tori's house for the movie night.

"I'll get it!" Cat screamed. Beck watched in silence as the door quickly opened revealing the bubbly teenager.

"Yay! Its Beck and Ja... Oh." Cat's voice trailed off when she noticed that Jade wasn't there.

Everyone had secretly been hoping she would show up last minute because, well that was how Jade was. She would spend days complaining about how she didn't want to hang out, and then at the last minute she would.

Beck slowly walked into the room and sat down in the middle of the couch. It was like he was on auto-pilot, not really paying much attention to anything.

"So um, we just finished the first movie. We were going to watch a horror flick next if that's alright?" Tori said. Everyone could feel the tension in the air.

"I'm making popcorn!" Cat giggled, so maybe not EVERYBODY felt the tension.

Andre put the movie in while Robbie went and dimmed the lights. Beck just sat on the couch, not quite sure what he should do.

"Listen, um if this is too weird, you don't have to stay." Tori whispered to Beck.

"I'm fine." Beck said quietly.

"Are you sure?" Tori asked.

"I said I was fine." Beck said. Why wouldn't he be fine? His girlfriend was just off practicing some play with a guy that seemed to practically be in love with her. No big deal right?

Wrong. Beck could not concentrate on the movie. All he could think about was Jade.

Her laugh, not the laugh she made when she had just socially ruined someone, but her real laugh. The one she made when it was just the two of them.

Her piercings, which she didn't really want until she found out her mother disapproved.

The way her face lit up whenever he told her he loved her.

In his eyes she was perfect, and he was losing her.

"Dude I think we are the only ones watching the movie." Andre's words snapped Beck out of his train of thoughts.

He looked around to see that what Andre had said was true. Cat and Robbie had both fallen asleep; Cat's head on Robbie's shoulder and Robbie's head on top of hers. Rex lay discarded unceremoniously on the ground. Tori was nowhere to be found.

"Where's Tori?" Beck asked, because that was the only thing he seemed able to grasp. That him and Andre were sitting there alone, the girls they loved missing in action.

"She had to go pick up Trina, apparently she got caught sneaking into some ritzy party and is being held at the police station." Andre said, he tried his best to hide his smile but he couldn't stifle the laugh that escaped. Beck didn't laugh; he just stared blankly at Andre.

Suddenly Andre's face went grim. "Listen, Beck, have you told Jade that her hanging out with this guy is hard on you?"

"I..I couldn't. You don't understand. After all the times I've made her jealous, and gotten mad at her for being possessive, I would be a hypocrite to go and do that exact thing." Beck said, finally admitting that he was in fact jealous.

"Man, I'm sure Jade will understand." Andre said, trying his best to comfort his best friend. Beck smiled weakly.

"Have you met Jade? She's not exactly one to just forgive and forget you know," Beck said.

"She would for you." Andre said, looking at the movie now.

Suddenly it felt like a blanket had been lifted from Beck's mind; he finally understood the severity of what was going on. When he made Jade jealous, he only did it for a reaction out of her. She had never once told him she loved him, he felt that every time he made her jealous, or saw her become overly possessive, that that was her way of showing him how much she really cared. But Jade, Jade probably didn't even realize she was hurting him as much as she was. Jade was a lot of things, but Beck knew that she would never purposely hurt him, well not emotionally. These meant she genuinely would rather go to this rehearsal then have a movie night with the gang.

"I have to talk to her." Beck said, heading towards the door.

"Dude, it's late. I'm not the greatest friends with Jade, but I'm pretty sure she won't want to hear this right now. It can wait till Monday, or at least tomorrow." Andre exclaimed. Beck didn't want to admit it but Andre did have a point. At least he could text her.

He pulled out his phone and furiously started to text.

Hey Babe, can we hang out tomorrow?- Beck

Sure! After 2? -Jade

Beck stared at the text in confusion. Jade never made specific times for when they hung out. She usually just showed up.

Y after 2? -Beck

James wants to go over the script. -Jade

Andre looked at Beck in confusion. "Dude, if you squeeze that phone any harder it's going to break." Andre said, staring at Beck's white knuckles.

"They are going over the script together. It's the second day! Who goes over the script on the second day?" Beck screamed, causing both Robbie and Cat to wake with a start.

"What's going on?" Cat asked sleepily, rubbing her eyes while Robbie searched for Rex.

"Don't ask me. Beck's the one who's going all crazy." Andre said as he pointed to a frantic Beck.

"She, he, THEY! They're going over the script together, TOMORROW!" Beck repeated, pacing frantically from side to side.

"Who?" Cat asked. She seemed to be the only one who didn't understand.

"Calm down. The play's about a Goth chick, right? Well, maybe Jade didn't feel like the character was portrayed right. She would be the first one to say that something needed work. It probably means nothing." Andre's words calmed Beck a little, but he still felt a nauseas feeling in the pit of his stomach, like if Jade had come right up to him and told him she was hooking up with James.


Jade sat silently at the table, taking huge gulps of her coffee. She was bored out of her mind.

"Where the hell is everyone else?" Jade wondered out loud.

"I guess they ditched." James said casually. He didn't seem to mind one bit that Jade and him were the only ones here for this so called script review.

"Well I'm going to do the same." Jade said, standing up to leave. Before she could fully rotate around, James grabbed her hand delicately.

"Please, don't leave. I need someone to go over this, and you're the only one who cared enough to come." James said. It was the first time he genuinely sounded sincere. Jade let out a loud sigh as she sat back down.

"The only reason I came was because you showed up at my house and wouldn't leave." Jade said in a matter of fact tone. This caused James to burst out laughing.

"Can we just get this over with? I have somewhere to be." Jade called out.

"Don't worry; you'll get there in time to see your precious Beck." James said in an annoyed tone.

"How did you know I was hanging out with Beck?" Jade asked, her eyebrow lifting in a questioning expression.

"It's kind of obvious you know. I mean, you don't really hang out with anyone else. He's like your life." James said, not daring to look in Jade's eyes. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his arm as Jade punched him.

"Wait Jade! I didn't mean it! Come back!" James cried as he watched Jade walk away.


JADE POV

Twenty minutes after that horrid script review at the coffee shop, I stood silently outside Beck's RV. Things had gotten weird between us since James showed up, but I knew I could always count on him to get me in a better mood.

I was just about to open the door when I heard Beck's voice.

"I don't know how I'm going to tell her. She is going to be pissed." I heard Beck say.

"That's a good idea! I'll just tell her straight up." He said. I assumed he was talking over the cell phone since I heard no other voice in the RV.

"I'll just be like Jade! You are not allowed to be in this play anymore!" Beck said, laughing casually.

Before I let this conversation go any further, I grabbed the door and swung it open.

I felt a pang of guilt when I saw Beck's shocked expression at my arrival. That only lasted a second before his signature smile plastered itself on his gorgeous face and he walked over towards me.

"Hey, Babe," He said, placing a kiss on my cheek that made me want to grab him and kiss him all over.

"Listen, I have to go, I'll call you back later." Beck said into the phone.

"So I'm not allowed to be in the play?" I said, I mind as well get straight to the point. I stood there with my arms crossed as Beck looked around the room nervously. He casually ran his fingers through his hair as he thought of what to say next. God I hated when he did that! It always made me weak in the knees, and all I wanted to do is jump on him and kiss him like crazy.

"Well, um you see, it's just well James likes you!" Beck stated, as if that explained everything.

"What's your point?" I asked, I had given up on trying to convince myself that the new hottie, um I mean guy, liked me.

"Well I don't think you should hang around him! Because well he likes you and it's practically like cheating because you're flirting with him on stage!" Beck screamed. I took a step back, I was startled at how angry Beck seemed. But then what he said hit me. He thought I was flirting with James? What about all the times he chilled out with Tori? What about all the times he hugged Tori and they weren't even on stage together!

"I'm the one flirting? Why the hell would I flirt with James? Unlike you I don't need to have other people all over me to feel loved!" I screamed, more anger then I ever felt before taking over my body.

"Is this about Tori? I do not flirt with her. Also, I don't have other people all over me! I love you and only you!" Beck screamed back, I noticed his eyes were beginning to water, but I didn't care. I was just as hurt as he was right now.

"Yeah? You love me? Well you have a funny way of showing it." I practically whispered. Just then I turned and ran as fast as I could out of the RV. I was not going to let him see the tears that were threatening to fall at any minute. I heard him call out my name but I just kept running. I didn't know where I was going, all I knew was I had to get away from here, away from Beck, away from everything.

Yeah, so um Im expecting alot of bad reviews for this chapter, cause well its like despresing and Jade and Beck dont end up together! Like I wrote it and I was upset about that.

So um read and review.

Next chapter will be a hundred times better I promise!
