Beck ran a hand through his hair. Jade was acting kind of weird today. It was concerning him. She hardly spoken a word at breakfast. She burst into tears on the way to school but when he asked her what was wrong she said everything was fine.
"Hey Beck," Tori said, "Is Jade okay? Ever since your argument a few nights ago she's been acting weird"
Beck sighed.
"At first I thought she was trying to teach me a lesson," Beck said, "But then this morning in the car she burst into tears. It's like she's up one minute and down the next. Lately she's been down."
"It's because she's bipolar," Cat said
"Bipolar?"
"Jade is bipolar," Andre and Beck asked at the same time.
"Do I feel like an idiot," Beck said
"You shouldn't," Cat said, "You didn't know. She ran out of her medication and had a choice between paying for her medication and paying for Hollywood Arts. She chose Hollywood Arts."
Jade was in the girls bathroom crying her eyes out. Things were changing. Stupid bipolar disorder. It wasn't fair. Why did she have to be a freak?
The door opened and Beck came in. Jade quickly dried her eyes but could not conceal the mascara running down her face in black streaks.
"Beck," she said, "You are aware this is a girls restroom right?"
He didn't answer instead wrapping his arms around her and rubbing her back. When he had calmed her down he kissed her for a few seconds and she clung to him like a drowning victim might cling to a life raft.
"Jade," Beck said after looking into her eyes, "Why didn't you tell me you were bipolar"
"Because," Jade said, "I didn't want you or anyone else to know. Beck do you have any idea how ashamed I am. I wake up every morning and I know I'm a freak. I go through my day and my moods change by the minute. I say something I cannot help and I get in trouble for it. I embarrass Vega and you get mad-"
"Jade," Beck said, "I shouldn't have gotten mad in the first place. I certainly never would have done that had I known the situation. I thought you were just being mean. I didn't realize that you were... different"
"A FREAK BECK. Jade said, "Call it what it is. I am a freak"
"Don't you ever call yourself that again," he said in a quiet but stern voice. You are not a freak. You are my beautiful and perfect girlfriend"
"Come on," Jade said, "if you knew I was bipolar when you first met me would you still have fallen in love with me"
"I absolutely would," Beck said, "I fell in love with you BEFORE I met you just by looking at you. Jade if you weren't bipolar you wouldn't be the girl I fell in love with. I love you from the tip of your nose to the bottom of your feet. I love you bipolar and all."
