Chapter 2: Stage Fighting
Jade's POV
I pull into school alone today. Beck had to get here early because he is meeting his friend Russ. They are practicing stage fighting. I guess Russ is going to assist the teacher in stage fighting. Walking to the black box theaeter I can hear commotion. I walk in and see Tori on Russ's shoulders and Beck trying to get her off. I laugh cuz she looks like a psycho but I also wonder why the hell she is on him trying to attack him.
"Woah woah woah woah what are you doing"? My teacher asks her pulling her off Russ
"That guy was beating up Beck". Tori says like she knows everything. I walk over to Beck and laugh. I grab his arm.
"Oh you poor thing". She really think Beck needs defending.
"We were practicing". Beck explains to her.
"This is Russ" My teacher explains
"I'm Russ" He screams.
My teacher explains how Russ is a stunt man and is going to help us with stage fighting. I hold onto Beck's arm. Tori looks confused and I can't help but say
"And now Tori says what's stage fighting"
"I wasn't gonna say that" Tori says and turns to Andre "What is it"? she asks hims
"Fake fighting that looks real. Like for a play or a movie." Andre tells her. How can Tori go to this school and not know this.
"I took a class with him last summer". Beck explains to him. I lock arms with him as he is talking so Tori knows her trying to defend him is nothing special.
"Well he looked like he was hurting you". Tori says with puppy dog eyes. Of course she would say that.
"Why do you care". I ask her. He is MY boyfriend she shouldn't care.
"Cuz I figure he suffers enough pain dating you". What a bitch
"You wanna see pain." I yell and pull away from Beck but he immediately pulls me back.
"Hey why don't we go sit overthere". Beck says and pulls me to a chair.
"I can't stand her". I say as Beck sits down next to me. He puts his hand on my thigh.
"She was only trying to help". Beck says and kisses my cheek.
"No Beck she wants you why can't you see that" I say and turn away from him. He can be so annoying sometimes
Beck's POV
Jade is kinda pissed at me because I told her Tori was trying to help. Russ is up on stage demonstrating with Cat. Russ is pretending to punch Cat in the face.
"To the audience or camera it will look like this ". Russ says and pretends to punch Cat.
I've zoned out to whatever he has been saying. I'm thinking about Jade.
"Babe even if she does like me it wouldn't make me think of her differently. She would still just be a friend". I whisper to Jade
She looks at me. I lean forward and look at her but everyone starting clapping for Cat so I got no response from Jade.
"Beck and Cat". I hear the teacher call out. Sweet. Cat is easy to work with.
"Tori and Jade". Jade smirks. I already know Jade is gonna make this miserable for Tori.
"Tori and who". Tori looks terrified.
"Wait I'm not comfortable with my partner". She says to the teacher.
Jade walks up behind Tori as I grab my bag. "Hey partner I can't wait for our fight scene". I smirk and roll my eyes at her. I love her sarcastic side.
She heads out the door and I follow her. Surprisingly she is waiting for me in the hallway. I guess she is not mad at me anymore. I grab her hand as we start walking.
"I loved the pause before scene". I said and smirked at her.
"This is perfect. I couldn't get paired with a better person". Jade says giddy. I can't help but laugh at her. She is happy not because she got paired with someone she likes but completely the opposite.
"Just don't hit her. It's not worth it Babe". I say to her. We reach her locker and I lean against it and look at her.
"Don't worry she won't get hurt. Jade smirks. I know she has something planned but as long as she isn't violent I don't really care what she does. If she wants to tease Tori in a non violent or mean way then I can't complain.
"Ready to go home". I ask her as she shuts her locker. She shakes her head and we head to my car.
She puts on music for the drive home. It's such a nice day out. I look over at her and she looks beautiful. The sun is beaming down on her making her look brighter.
"Do you have any homework". I ask her as we stop at a red light.
"No I didn't get any today". She said. I put my right blinker on.
"Beck my house is straight". Jade says confused.
"I know. We are not going to your house". I say and head to one of my favorites places .
"We are going to Cedar park arn't we". Jade said with a smile.
This is a very important place for us. This is where our first kiss was. I always come here when I need to think . I look at her and can tell she is thinking about the last time we came here. It was our 1 year anniversary. We decided to camp out. Well not actually cuz Jade hates camping but I took my uncles pick up truck and we layed in the back of it all night. We stargazed and talked all night, made love and fell asleep together. After 1 year of being with Jade our relationship reached a new dynamic. I have never been more comfortable with someone then I am with Jade. That was one of the best nights of my life. I pull into the park. This place is not like anywhere else. It has the huge grassy hill and it's on the ocean, it has a garden.
"Hey open your trunk". Jade says and gets out of the car. I open it and she pulls out the beach blanket I have back there. We head down to the grass and sit on the blanket. She sits in between my legs and leans back on me.
"Jade". She looks up at me waiting for me to talk.
"Do you really think I would ever leave you for Tori?" I ask her. Jade has mentioned this to me.
"It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust the slutty bitches in our school ". Jade says annoyed.
I lean down and kiss her. I know she has trust issues with her dad leaving when she was young. Maybe that's why she gets nervous when girls talk to me. But honestly I could never picture myself with anyone else.
"I love you". I say and hug her to me.
"Love you too". She whispers
2 days later
Jade's POV
"Hey can we sit alone today." I say to Beck as we walk towards the tables.
"Sure". Beck says and heads to a table far awar from Tori.
"How is your stage fight going". Beck asks me
"So annoying she winces every time I go up behind her. I don't know why she would think I would give up my grade to hit her". I say as Beck dips his fries into my ketchup
"You know what might help, have her be the one to hit you. That way she comfortable and it's easier".
You know this might actually work. I can pretend she hit me for real to embarrass her. I have been waiting to get her back for kissing Beck.
"That's a great idea". I tell him. He raises his eyebrows surprised.
"Really". He says and moves closer. I nod and he moves closer to kiss me.
Beck's POV
I can't believe Tori hit Jade. I know she didn't do it on purpose but still. I walk into the nurses office to see Jade sitting there.
"Hey I just called your mom". I sat down next to her and move the hair out of her hair.
"Thanks". She says holding ice to her eye. "What did she say".
"She asked if I can take you home during lunch cuz she has a meeting soon". I tell her holding her hand.
"Okay". She says and lays down.
"You stay here. I have to get to class but I'll get you after". I stand up and slowly let go of her hand. She nods and I kiss her cheek before leaving for class.
I got to my Shakespearean history class which I enjoy. After the class is over I walk to the nurses office to get Jade.
"Ready". I ask her and hold out my hand so she can get up.
Jade's POV
I can't believe I just apologized to Tori Vega. I mean I know it was wrong but I'm surprised I actually feel bad. Beck and I were planning on having a movie night tonight. I park my car in his driveway and proceeded to his RV. I lock my car and as I'm about to knock I can hear Beck yell from inside "it's open". I let myself in and he is sitting on his couch on his laptop.
"Hey". I say and put my purse down. He looks up at me. Kinda disappointed. I knew Andre told him.
"Come here". He said and patted next to him. I sit down and he grabs my hand and faces me. I don't know if he is gonna lecture me or what.
"Why?" That's all he asks me. I thought he would be mad.
"I don't know. I guess I wanted to get her back for kissing you. And she thinks she so perfect. I wanted to show her she is not the perfect person". I say with regret. I'm regretting it cuz I know Beck is disappointed.
"Babe. I get you wanting to get her back for the kissing thing, but not like this. You scared me and it was just immature. Your just making yourself look like the bad guy".
Beck was right. It did make me look worse. I didn't know what to say so I just looked at him.
"I'm sorry". I whispered.
"Just please try and law low. Don't make Tori's life miserable. For your own sake. I know you don't like her very much but just try. For me"? Beck said as he kissed my head.
"I'll try and be nice but if she lays a hand on you..."
"Then you can swat her hand away". Beck said laughing .
I leaned in and kissed him. He kissed back more passionately then expected. I'm glad he wasn't mad at me. We spent the rest of the night cuddled up in his bed watching horror movies.
