The Edge

Chapter 6: It Will Rain


Jade stood in front of her locker, coffee in hand, watching all the new kids enter her school. The first day of Senior Year, and the year sucked already. She and Beck had been text fighting for the past three weeks! And her father's wedding over the weekend was the icing on the cake. Its so much fun watching your father marry some blonde bimbo fifteen years his junior. Goldigging tramp. "Jade!" Cat smiled as she walked up to her bestfriend, snapping the brunnette out of her thoughts. Cat hugged Jade. "I love your hair! I'm so glad you washed that black dye out. And took off your blue extensions. And you're wearing less makeup. And you have no piercings...or a tattoo on your arm... Are you wearing lavender?" Jade smiled slowly as Cat made so many observations. "Yes, I decided to change my look this year. Like?"

"Love! Its just like the old you... oh, I'm sorry for bringing that up."

"Its okay Cat... I think I'm ready to accept a newer version of Jade." Jade debated on telling Cat the reason for the change... eh, I'll tell her later. "Well, I'm happy for you. Tori!" Cat spazzed out as she grabbed her other friend by the arm, pulling her towards herself and Jade. "Hey Cat, Jade." Tori smiled, pulling her hair behind her ear. "How do you feel about Jade's new look?" Cat asked. "I love it! Purple is a nice color on you Jade." Tori said, referring to the lavender dress Jade wore.

"Thanks..."

"How does Trina like college?" Cat asked.

"It's whatever to her. She lives in the same dorm as Robbie's sister Roma, so that's cool."

"Trina is friends with Roma?" Jade asked, curious. "Yeah," Tori knodded her head, "Best friends." The bell sounded, signally them to go to class.


Beck, Andre, and Robbie stumbled their way through the entrance of the Black Box Theatre. Sikowitz, the girls, and their other classmates sat waiting. "Sorry, we're late." Beck spoke, his words came out jumbled together. "Just take a seat, please." Sikowitz instructed. Andre sat next to Tori, Robbie sat next to Cat, and Beck sat two seats away from Jade. He kept a distance to make sure she wasn't still mad. As Sikowitz went on about hippies, Beck stole a few glances at Jade, noticing her new appearance. "Psst!" He hissed for her attention. She tore her eyes away from Sikowitz, "What?"

"Are you still mad?"

"No."

"Cool." Beck got up, taking a seat next to her, and tossing his arm over her shoulder. Jade enhaled, her nose scrunching up at the sent. "Beck, are you crazy? You smell like pure Gin."

"Well, the guys and I shared a few drinks before school. No big deal."

"No big deal?" Jade whispered harshly. "Last year, we all almost got in serious trouble, you want to start the new school year off badly?"

"Relaxxxxxx." He said, elongating the last consonant.


"That was the stupidest thing you boys have ever done." Tori commented the next day as the gang sat at their usual table at the Asphalt Cafe. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Andre said, shaking off the comment. All three boys have been lectured a million times about coming drunk on the first day of school. They were just trying to have fun... "Are you listening, Andre?"

"Yeah."

"Then what did she just say?" Jade asked, someone was in a fiesty mood. "Huh?" Robbie's phone buzzed, he took it out, looking at the text, a smile on his face as he texted back. "Who have you been talking to?" Beck asked, noticing that the curly headed kid had been texting all day. And it obviously wasn't Cat that he was texting, she hasn't touched her phone at all. "No one important." Cat's eyebrows raised at her boyfriend's statement. "So, who's excited for Jade's father's party?" Tori asked, trying to lighten up the mood. "I am." Cat chimed in, happily. She loved wedding reception type parties. "Jade?"

"What?"

"Aren't you excited? It is your father after all."

"Oh...yeah. Whatever." Jade began to poke her salad with her fork.


"Ladies and Gentleman. We have a very special guest here with us tonight. Now, he can't stay long, but he will like to perform one song for a very special dance." The DJ announced as everyone in the dance hall, looked to see who the special guest was. "I'm Bruno Mars, and I am going to sing my new single, 'It Will Rain'. So all you guys, grab your girls, and head to the dance floor." The track began to play as Bruno began to sing...

If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.

There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
Will keep you by my side
And keep you from walkin' out the door.

Andre looked down as he and Tori slow danced together. They're bodies moving in sync. He turned to see Mr. West and his new bride dancing together. Their eyes locked on each other. "I love you, Victoria." Andre said, making her smile as she lay her head on his shoulder. "I love you too."

Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it'll rain, rain, rain

Beck held Jade close to him. It was weird seeing her without the piercings, and blue extensions. He now had to get use to seeing what he first fell for. The real Jadelyn August West. She looked so vulnerable and sweet as they swayed together to Bruno's song. He loved this moment, and he didn't want it to end. He knew that the whole Jade act would get old, and he would get to see his princess again...

I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Oooo if I was in their shoes, I'd be doin' the same thing
Sayin' there goes my little girl
Walkin' with that troublesome guy

But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Oooo but little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yea for you I'll try I'll try I'll try I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine

Robbie kissed Cat's forehead tenderly. This verse of the song fit perfectly for them. "I talked to your father..." Her big brown eyes looked into his own. A small smile on her lips, hoping for good news. "He still hates me...but he accepts us. He's willing to try... I did it Cat. I got my chance, and I'm not going to blow it."

Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain, rain, rain

All the couples swayed in harmony, lost in their own worlds.

Oh don't just say, goodbye
Don't just say, goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right

Beck lifted Jade's chin, kissing her lips passionately. "I'm sorry for all the fighting. I'm afraid that after your father gets over the newlywed stage, he'll move to Texas. Taking you with him." Beck sung along with Bruno,

Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
And there'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
And just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it'll rain, rain, rain
