Thank you for your lovely reviews! They always manage to bring a smile to my face! I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to upload on time, but I got sick and stayed home yesterday ( the day my school decided to go on an unexpected fieldtrip. Just my luck…), so I had the time to write this.

Jade kept on stealing glances at Beck, trying to figure out what he was thinking about. It was pointless. That boy could hide his emotions damn well.
Sighing, Jade left her eyes wonder Tori's way. The girl was sitting opposite to her, a broken expression on her face. Jade had had to restrain from high fiving Andre when Tori started singing after storming off to the bathroom. Andre's happiness had been obvious and Jade was happy for her friend. They had made it. Tori had realized that she has feelings for Andre which meant that her plan had succeeded, well partly. There was Beck…
Jade knew that she was running out of time. Now that Tori realized that she wanted to be with Andre, they can't just keep on pretending for ever. That would only hurt them both. She could tell already that Andre's smile was a bit strained. He could understand that him pretending to be a couple with Jade was upsetting the girl he cared about and Jade didn't expect him to go on with the act for much longer.
Beck had to break. He just had to. She needed him to…
Jade kept on trying to think of a way to get him to react, but nothing would come to her. As she left her eyes skim the room, they settled on the microphone, and that is when it hit her.
Beck would always go on about how he loved to hear her voice, especially when she was singing to him. He would look at her straight in the eyes and say that he was captivated when she sang.
Jade sighed. She didn't like it. She really didn't. However, she knew that that was his weak spot. If this couldn't shatter that poker face of his, nothing could.
Taking a breath, Jade smiled at Andre and whispered in his ear, filling him in. His questioning eyes soon turned to knowing one's, even though one could detect slight guilt in them. Ignoring Tori's curious expression and Cat's warning glare; Jade tugged on Andre's arm and got him to stand up along with her. She could practically feel Beck's eyes on her back as she walked towards the stage, and she focused on the clinking sounds her heels made, as to remain focused on what she was about to do.
Jade was right about Beck watching her. He followed her with his eyes, taking in the way she walked, the way her raven locks fell down her back and of course the way her fingers remained entwined with Andre's at all times. Suppressing a groan of desperation, he saw the couple taking places on stage and grabbing a microphone each.
Were they really going to…?
Jade's loving expression and the way her eyes locked with Andre's as she brought the microphone close to her mouth confirmed Beck suspicions.
He felt Tori stiffen beside him as Cat let out an exasperated sign, causing Robbie to give her a questioning look. Shaking her head dismissively the redhead focused on Beck and Tori. The latter had a pained expression on and was holding on to a cushion for dear life, while Beck's lips were formed into a tight line. He was mentally banging his head on the table.
The first lyrics were heard and everyone's heads snapped Jade's way, Beck's included. Even at that point he couldn't help but admire her melodious voice. It had always managed to get him weak in the knees. It was too bad she was now singing to another Andre, her beautiful eyes focused on him.
The sun goes down, the stars come out
And all that counts is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I am glad you came
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me , well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me
Beck could hear Cat whispering to Tori as Andre started singing. She was holding her hand, since Tori could obviously use someone to hold on to. Beck was no different. He could feel himself breaking.
Turn the lights out now, now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink, drink it if you can
Can we spent a little time, time is slipping away
Away from ourselves stay, stay with me
I can make you glad you came…
The moment Jade joined Andre, and reached over to cup his cheek, Beck closed his eyes tightly. He couldn't take it anymore. It was just too much to handle.
The sun goes down, the stars come out
And all that counts is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I am glad you came
I am glad you came
"Screw this!" he said, not so quietly, as he moved the glass away from him, jumping to his feet. He stormed off the store's front door swiftly, running his hand through his hair. He had avoided to look Jade's way, but that didn't keep her from seeing what had just happen.
Robbie and Tori were surprised by his outburst whereas Cat simply followed him with sad eyes. She silently prayed that this meant everything would be over soon.
"He must have something to do!" she commented smiling, causing Tori to raise her eyebrows at her. The redhead shrugged and turned back to the stage, where Jade and Andre were at the end of the song, smiles at both their faces, as their voices danced in harmony.
I am glad you came.
Beck slammed the door of his car and buried his face in his hands. It took him a couple of minutes to get himself together. Many curse words later, he started the engine and drove out of the parking lot, his mind still a bit foggy.
He soon noticed that the radio had been turned on the moment her started the car and focused on that, hoping that it would help him get his mind of his misery. The host was presenting the news and Beck quickly switched stations.
The tune seemed familiar…
There is nothing left, I used to cry,
my conversation has run dry
That is what's going on
Nothing's fine
I 'm torn
"Seriously?!" Beck groaned.
I am all out of faith
This is how I feel..
Perhaps another station selection.
What I am I supposed to do
when the best part of me was always you
what am I supposed to say
when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I am falling to pieces…yeah
This could not be happening!
I am falling to pieces….
He really was falling to pieces.
There you have it. Kind of short but I had to stop there…Only a couple more chapters left, unless I change my mind and go on with this beyond the part I had initially decided to. I don't know yet..
I had the Boyce Avenue version of "glad you came" in my mind while writing this, just saying…
So, what did you this of this chapter? Let me know! I love reading your reviews! Also, if you didn't like something, don't hesitate to point it out to me. Constructive criticism is more than welcome!
Ps,
So, Who is excited for the Opposite Date this Saturday?
I really hope that this is the episode the Jandre kiss takes place! I just want to see Beck lose it! Haha that sounded kind of mean: p Still true though...
I should probably stop talking so much.
