Disclaimer: I still own nothing. For now anyway
A/N all I'm going to say is READ THE NOTE AT THE END! IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT!
I looked over at her sitting in the passenger seat beside me. I wasn't sure if she was sleeping or not, but she looked so peaceful. I could have just stared at her forever, it was so hard to have to turn away and look back at the road. I let out a deep sigh and drummed my fingers impatiently on the steering wheel. After 11 and a half hours of driving I was starting to feel pretty agitated. Jade spoke up for the first time in an hour. "So are we there yet or what?" she asked keeping her eyes closed. Okay, so not sleeping I thought. "Ya about 10 minutes." I responded. Her eyes popped open. "And your still not going to tell me what this place is?" she responded. "Nope," I said grinning. She gave me one of her famous "jade glares", leaned back and closed her eyes again.
10 minutes later we pulled into the parking lot of a medium sized building. Jade took one look at it, turned and looked at me with horror and simply said, "No." I smiled and got out of the truck grabbing both our backpacks and heading up to the building. Jade chased after me. "No Beck, no,no,no and NO!" "What's the problem?" I asked innocently. "PROBLEM!" she screeched. "How dare you bring me to a ski resort!"
I laughed inwardly (I didn't dare laugh out loud with Jade's temper the way it was) "It'll be fun," I reassured her. "No, Beck, it won't be fun, you know why? Because I hate snow, I hate the cold, I hate cabins, and falling, and-"she was cut off as I turned around, stopped walking and grabbed one of her arms. I looked into her eyes and she glared back into mine. "It'll be fun, I promise. Just the two of us, alone and together for New Year's. How does it get any better?" I gave her a small smile and a wink and I could have sworn I saw a blush creeping up into her cheeks. Her expression softened and she bit back a small smile. We turned and kept walking up to the check in spot, hand in hand, with Jade muttering curses and insults the whole way. It was already starting off perfect.
We reached the check in building. Jade ran off and starting making faces at a baby sitting in a nearby stroller. And not just cute little funny faces, no I'm talking about scar you for life, terrifying faces. I checked us in and got instructions from the lady at the desk. "Your cabin," she said. "Is that's direction." She pointed to the left of her. "Follow the trail and you'll have to go around all the way around the right side of the lake because unfortunately the bridge is broken right now due to the weight of the snow and ice. "I understand," I replied. Things like this happened a lot back in Canada. Boat docks for the summer were usually very inexpensive because a lot of them were ruined from the ice in the winter. The same goes for small bridges.
I pulled Jade quickly away from the baby, who had started to cry, and we quickly left before the child's mother saw us.
"Hey!" she yelled at me. "I was having fun tormenting that innocent child, why did you make me stop!" I chose not to answer that question as we walked west towards our cabin. Instead I responded with "Did I just hear correctly? Did Jade West actually say she was having fun! I thought she said she would hate this trip and have no fun at all, but we've only been here 5 minutes and she already said that she's had fun!" I braced myself and sure enough, my reply landed myself a punch in the gut. "You're an idiot you know that right?" she told me. I laughed and dropped our bags in the snow. "Beck what are you-" I cut her off wrapping my arms tight around her waist and kissed her lips, hard. She froze at first then began to kiss me back even harder. Her legs wrapped around my waist never breaking the kiss and I tangled one of my hands into her long black, sweet smelling hair. We were all set for a full out make-out session when my foot slipped on a piece of ice and we went tumbling down into the snow. Jade stood up immediately brushing snow off her black jeans and cursing. "Damn you Beck, now I'm all covered in snow, and my shirt is soaked! Get up and let's go. I'd like to make to our cabin BEFORE the sun set you know. Oh for goodness sakes, quit acting like a child." I was still lying in the snow making a snow angle, what can I say, they're fun! I stood up and got the bags. After 12 hours of driving, I was ready to get to the cabin too. I looked down at the ice patch by my feet. "Looks like we've reached the lake," I said. "Come on let's go around.
"What!" yelled Jade. "Isn't there a bridge or something?" "Ya" I replied. "But it's broken." I said and starting to walk around. "Beck this lake will take 10 minutes to walk around. I can SEE the cabin from here, we're going across." "NO!" I ran back as Jade stepped on the ice. "Jade, it's not safe. It's one of the first things they teach you in Canada if you live near rivers and lakes. Never go on any ice that may not be solid, and it's not cold enough for a lake this size to have frozen deep enough." I knew my ice safety. "Are you kidding me? It's freezing cold out here; this ice can hold my weight, unless you're calling me fat?"
"No Jade I'm not calling you fat, but come on lets go around, it's only a few extra minutes." I begged. But Jade was not going to give in this time. She gave me one cold look and started to walk across the ice. I held my breath the entire time, but the ice seemed to be holding up fairly well. Three quarters way cross she turned around and looked at me. "See Beck, its fine." She said exasperatedly. Just then I noticed a disturbance in the ice near her feet. It was starting to crack; I could see the little lines. It wasn't going to hold up for much longer. "JADE! LOOK OUT! GO!" I screamed at her. She took one startled glance at the ice cracking beneath her feet and tried to move. But the movement was enough for the ice to break. I saw her head turn and look at me with wide frightened eyes, heard her call out my name with her last breath. And then Jade's head was lost beneath the surface of the water.
A/N : okay guys so like I said, this note is super important.
So first of all thanks to everyone that reviewed. It means a lot. I don't mind harsh reviews, I just like honest opinions. So whatever you think, let me know. You can post it anon if you really want idc.
Secondly, I decided to give this story another go. But honestly I'm really not feeling it, so I think I'm done. I don't know, I'm just having a really hard time with it.
