Beck's POV

It was Friday. Two days had passed since the whole incident with Jade. Nothing much happened lately. Sikowitz had Riley do The Bird Scene and I had to do some random acting with Cat. I was going to try to get through to Jade this time. I couldn't live like this any longer.

Jade was there when I walked into class. She wasn't looking at me, though I wasn't surprised. She refused to meet my gaze all week. I hoped I could do this. The bell rang and we started class.

"Tori, Andre, you're up!" Sikowitz announced. I didn't pay any attention to them or Cat and Robbie when they went up next. They took a long time for some reason. When the bell rang, everyone rushed out of the class.

I ran up to catch Jade. She was walking to her English class and it just happened to pass the janitor's closet. I checked quickly and the janitor wasn't in there. Good.

"Jade!" I called, catching up to her again. She turned around for a moment and walked faster. I caught her arm though. I pulled her towards the janitor's closet.

"Beck, let go of me!" she shrieked. People were staring at us but I didn't care. Jade kept shouting at me when we finally reached it. I opened the door and Jade made one more attempt to break my grasp but failed. We went inside and I shut the door. I stood in front of it so I blocked the exit. Jade glared at me disbelievingly.

"Why the hell did you bring me here? Are you crazy? I told you to leave me alone!"

"Jade, just listen to me! I know you can't stand this, but you need to hear the truth. Okay, so maybe I did like Riley a little bit. But I honestly don't know what happened that night. I was never going to kiss her-"

"But you did." Her voice was quiet and soft, not like before. There was hurt in those three words and it was all because of me.

"I know and I can never take that back. I wish I could, but I can't. I'd do anything to go back." Jade looked up sharply. Whatever softness there was before, there were no traces of it now.

"You were my boyfriend and you chose her over me. It's obvious you don't care about me anymore. I don't even know why you bothered to talk to me. You two are together now, so just go!"

I gave her a crazy look, though Jade didn't notice. I understood this better now.

"Jade, we're not together, we never were!" I sighed.

"You're… not?" she whispered.

No! You didn't know? Honestly, I think everyone could notice how awkward it was between us!"

Jade's POV

They weren't together? I always thought they were since that day they kissed. Though I was surprised when they didn't do the acting assignment, I guess I really never paid attention to them. But it's not like I was trying to anyway.

"I want things to be the way they were-before Riley came. I know I said that before, but I really mean it. And I do care about you, Jade, and I never stopped." Beck said when I didn't say anything.

"You don't know how much this hurt me. I need to trust you, but can I?" I looked into Beck's eyes while saying this, not exactly intending to say the first part. I wasn't going to let him know how much it affected me, but it's out now.

"I probably don't, but I know you're really hurt by this. I was so stupid to fall for Riley. I want you to trust me."

I was starting to fall for Beck again. I missed him so much. I was close to him now and was leaning into him. His lips touched mine and the kiss lasted until I ran out of air. Beck was the first one to talk.

"Can you trust me now?"

"Yes."

"I'm so sorry. I promise I'll never kiss another girl while we're together. You can trust me." Beck kissed me again but it was shorter than the last.

"Are you coming over tomorrow?" Beck asked. I nodded. He smiled a little.

"I don't feel like going to anymore classes today. Why don't we skip?" I suggested. Beck narrowed his eyes at me but gave in.

"Okay, fine." he agreed. It was halfway through the class period so we got out without being noticed. Not that anyone would actually care though. Well Beck maybe, but not me. But I didn't care. All that mattered is that Beck's mine again. And I was going to keep it that way.

We were at a Starbuck's and Beck was buying me coffee. We were in line and a girl probably a little older than us was taking our order. She fluttered her eyelashes at Beck in a flirtatious way.

"What can I get for you?" she asked as though I didn't exist which always pisses me off every time a girl does that. Beck put his arm around me.

"Why don't you stop flirting with my boyfriend and take our orders already!" I snapped. The girl looked slightly embarrassed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, what do you want then?" she asked in a bored voice. Beck gave her the order and then we were sitting down at a table.

"Jade, can't you try to be nice for once?" Beck asked me.

"I was being nice! I could've said other things. Aren't you tired of all the girls ignoring me and acting like you're the only one they can see?" I was actually kind of curious.

"Not really, I don't pay any attention to them. It's fun to see you tell them off though you really shouldn't. It's not nice." he joked.

I rolled my eyes. God, Beck can be really annoying. "Shut up." I said, taking a sip of my coffee. Beck gave me a pouting look. "That's not nice either." he pointed out.

"Whatever." I said. We finished our coffees and walked out. Beck drove me home and we were standing in front of his car.

"Love you babe, can't wait for tomorrow." Beck said. "You always say that. Love you too." I told him. We kissed again and I watched as his car faded away from my sight. I walked inside my house feeling happier than ever.

Hey, sorry if Beck and/or Jade were a little OOC earlier. Anyways, I'm thinking that there might be one or two chapters left… Please review!
