Ok so 4th chapter. You guys are really going to have to bear with me here because it took me forever to get the old noodle flowing on this one. I had no clue what to write, so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know. Also um this chapter isn't as nice as I had hoped it would be. I'm sorry.
BECK POV
I slowly lied down on my bed, my eyes not moving from where Jade had stood just moments before. I still didn't fully comprehend what had just happened. Did we break up? We couldn't have, I hadn't heard the words "We're over" or anything of that sort, but this was not a normal BeckandJade fight. People always assumed that me and Jade always fought because, well we did. But it wasn't the way it seemed, Jade usually just overreacted, I would try and calm her down and the whole thing would end within a half hour, closely followed by an intense make out session. This was Jade's own personal way of saying sorry.
But this, this was different. When I looked at Jade, I didn't see the normal burning fury in her eyes, this time, I saw sadness. It looked almost like she had given up, as if she seriously questioned if we were meant for each other or not. But we were I knew we were. We had gone through everything together. She was the first and only girl I ever pictured when I thought of having a wife. She was the girl I fell in love with. But I had hurt her, I hated hurting her.
"What did I just do?" I cried out, rubbing my hands over my face.
I had had it all planned out, I had spent hours figuring out how to tell Jade about my jealousy in the calmest way possible. I knew just what to say when she came in to not anger her. But then she walked in on me and Andre's joking conversation and the rest had gone to hell.
You love me? Well you have a funny way of showing it. Jade's words had felt like a knife to the heart. After all this time, she still didn't truly believe I loved her.
I sighed loudly to myself. As much as I liked having Tori around, I couldn't help but feel like my relationship with Jade would have been so much easier if I had never met her. Oh my god! What was I thinking? I was glad I had met Tori; I shouldn't be blaming her for my problems.
I mean, Tori is nice and sweet. She is a fantastic singer and a great actress. She was always willing to help. Suddenly it hit me. I abruptly sat up.
She was just what I needed.
I quickly grabbed my keys and ran out the door. I had to talk to her right now.
TORI POV
I sat quietly on my couch; watching god knows what with Trina. All of a sudden I heard a loud knock on the front door.
"I'm not getting it" Trina practically yelled right beside me.
"I'm sitting right beside you and why can't you get it?" I asked annoyed.
"Because I just painted my nails" she whined pointing at her big toe, which had one dot of pink on it.
"That hardly counts as having painted nails!" I screamed.
Suddenly the knock became louder.
"Tori! Go get it." Trina said, trying to make a puppy dog face.
"Fine." I grumbled getting up.
"Just so you know that's an ugly color!" I yelled to her, laughing at the shocked expression on my sister's face. My smile quickly turned into a frown as I saw who stood in the doorway.
"Jade?" I asked in confusion. When I finally recovered from the shock I took in the sight before me. She was crying.
"Not this again!" I grumbled as she walked uninvited into my house. I had to admit I hated to see Jade upset. It felt like the sign of the apocalypse or something. Not to mention Jade and Beck was the IT couple of Hollywood Arts, if they couldn't last, well no couple could.
"Get out!" Jade screamed at Trina, who coward away upstairs. I silently giggled to myself. I wish I had that effect on my sister.
"I just came here to tell you that even though Beck and I are fighting, we have NOT broken up, so stay away from him." Jade said, pointing accusingly at me.
I stared in disbelief at Jade. I knew the two were fighting about this whole James fiasco, but was she really still under the impression that I liked Beck?
"Jade I don't like Beck!" I screamed in frustration. "Why are you so insecure anyway?" I said as an afterthought.
"You kissed him!" Jade mumbled, her head buried in my pillow. I sighed in relief when I realized it was one of the twenty dollar ones we bought at Bed, Bath and Beyond, and not the pillow that my grandmother had made. It had taken five washes and a huge ugly red patch to cover the stains from the last time Jade had come over crying.
"That was my second day of school. I thought you were over it." I said, hoping that I at least sounded a little sympathetic.
"It's not just that. You guys flirt all the time. Do you honestly think I'm that stupid! He hugged you. He you, grr! You guys are always together when I'm not around and..."
"I LIKE ANDRE!" I screamed, covering my mouth as soon as I said it. How could I say that? I didn't mean to let it slip, I just wanted Jade to stop thinking I liked Beck. I hadn't told anyone I liked Andre! I mean sure I dropped obvious enough hints, but still I figured no one knew. But now it was ruined. I had told the one person in our group that wasn't my friend. This was just perfect.
Jade stopped her frantic pacing to stare daggers at me.
"What?" she said, doing her weird eyebrow thing that it seemed only she could do. How did she do that anyway? It always looked so menacing.
I guess there was no point denying it now.
"I... I like Andre. But please, don't tell anyone. No one knows I like him, but I have for a while. I mean he's really nice, plus he is always trying to get me in a better mood and..."
"I didn't ask for your life story. So are you telling me that you don't like Beck?" Jade said. Wow, she had an incredible ability to make me feel bad even when I was helping her.
"No. I. Don't. Like. Beck." I said nice and slowly, just to spite Jade.
She slowly sat down on the couch, seemingly lost in thought.
"Then why would you flirt with him?" Jade said, her voice filled with venom. She made it sound like I was cheating on Andre or something. Pfft, it's not like he likes me back anyway.
"We didn't flirt. Well maybe, I don't know he's hot! It's purely innocent, I swear."I started to ramble. I didn't want to admit that at first I sort of had a crush on Beck, but that was a phase. I got over it.
Once again I heard the familiar sound of knocks on my door.
"What know?" I cried out angrily. Why was everyone coming to my house today?
"Who is it?" I cried out. I smiled happily when I heard Beck's voice reply: "It's Beck, can I come in? I really need to talk to you."
"This is perfect Jade! You can talk to him now and get this all over with!" I said excitedly. My excitement faded however when I turned around to see fresh tears forming in Jade's eyes.
"What now? Beck's here! He probably wants to make things better." I whispered, for some reason I felt that Jade didn't want Beck to know she was here.
"He came to see you." She said quietly. I had never heard Jade sound so defeated.
"But, but I like Andre. How did that not get through to you?" I asked. I was so confused right now.
"Your intentions were good, but you're still as dumb as ever. You told me I was the only one who knew that you liked Andre. Which means Beck still flirted with you whether you liked him or not." She said solemnly as she quiet walked out the back door.
"By the way, if you tell Beck that I was here, I will make sure you never have a chance with Andre" Jade threatened before leaving.
I loudly groaned. How did I get myself caught up in these things? First there was Jade crying. Now there's Beck who is here for god knows what reason.
OH MY GOD BECK! He was still outside my door.
I quickly ran over to the door and flung it open.
"Beck?" I called out. Where did he go?
"Tori! Oh thank god you answered! I really need you." Beck said, popping around the corner leading to the drive way.
I felt a growing fear build up inside me. What did he just say? He needed me? Oh no! I could not be the reason that Jade and Beck broke up.
"Listen Beck, Jade really likes you and even though I'm not her friend I couldn't do that to her. Plus I kind of like someone else." I said rapidly. What was with me? Why was I going around just telling everyone about my feelings for Andre? I looked up at Beck's confused face.
"What are you talking about? I need you to try and help me get Jade back." Beck stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Oh, I knew that! I was just testing you." I said, trying my best to cover up that embarrassing moment.
"Wait! What?" I said after what Beck had said finally set in.
Beck took a deep breath. "Jade came to you when she wanted to get me back and it worked. So I thought maybe you could do the same for me." He asked.
"Oh no, I am not doing this again." I stated, backing up with my hands in the air. How did I get dragged into these kinds of things?
"Please Tori; I don't know what else to do. Andre wouldn't understand my wanting to get back together with her and Cat gets too easily sidetracked." Beck said in a pleading tone. He looked so sad. I always noticed how much Jade needed Beck, but I never fully grasped the fact that Beck needed Jade just as much.
"What about Robbie?" I asked, mentioning the only other person in our group of friends that Beck didn't consider.
"Seriously?" Beck asked, giving me a "you're really considering him" looks. I stood for a second considering what I had just said.
Now that I thought about, Rex probably had more girl knowledge then Robbie did.
Suddenly we both burst out laughing for several seconds. When I finally got my breath, I grabbed Beck's hand and pulled him inside.
"Come on, this is going to be way harder then figuring out how to get you back. You at least had interests." I said jokingly as we walked inside.
This was definitely going to be a long night.
So I guess I broke my promise that I had made to my fans on the last chapter. But I just know where I want to get, just not how to get there. Maybe it was better as a one shot and I should discontinue this. Wait no! I cannot discontinue my first fanfiction. So I'll try my best, but as of now I'm pretty much just putting all my ideas on the table because I'm lost.
Yours truly,
