Lawl this is going to be Jade's POV (I know, but I really love her POV. It's a lot like mine sometimes :P) This one goes out to Miss. Missunderstood37, I really like this song and I hope you enjoy it!

"By the time I was your age, I'd give anything
To fall in love truly, was all I could think
That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen…"

Beck and I had been dating for two years. Everyday he'd hold me close, tell me he'd love me, and kiss me sweetly. We were Hollywood Arts 'it' couple, we were a fantasy come true, like Cinderella. Yeah, I loved him; I always will. But, Cinderella isn't the fairytale I belong in.

I belong in Beauty and the Beast; I'm the hideous monster that everybody fears and no one will ever love. Even the very mention of my name will send shivers down your spine. But she took me under her wing and showed me how to live. She nurtured my dark heart and my walls came crashing down. Her smile made the world shine, and her bright red hair would always shine in that light. Cat is my Beauty and I am the Beast.

"She said, 'Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice, you're staring at me
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me'

Now son, I'm only telling you this
Because life, can do terrible things…"

Not too long after, Beck had dumped me. I know I didn't love him like that, but I still loved him. Soon I had grown more dark and angry. I lashed out at everybody; my family, my friends, and especially Beck. Shrouded in a dark wall of solitude, I even switched tables. I sat in one of the darkest tables, hidden from the sunlight that shone dully through the puffy white clouds. I could still see my old table; Beck was now sitting with Tori, arm slung over her shoulder. I watched, trying to stop the flood of tears that hid behind my eyes. I looked down, shadows covering my face as I gazed at the necklace my mother gave to me before she died. I sighed, trembling, as I let out a quiet sob.

Suddenly, I heard petite footsteps hesitantly making their way towards me, and the necklace seemed to glitter excitedly. I looked up sadly to see a beaming flash of red swoop over to sit beside me. There the most beautiful girl sat; red hair pulled back into a neat ponytail, beautiful brown eyes wide, and her perfect heart-shaped face holding a small, sad smile. Cat. She gripped my hand gently and said quietly, "Hey, Jade… I'm really sorry about what happened with Beck."

I narrowed my eyes and looked away as I felt a few tears fall from my eyes. "N-No Cat. Don't even worry about it. I'm fine." I said, gritting my teeth for good measure. But the normally perky redhead was having none of it. She grabbed my chin and forced me to look at her. She ran a gentle thumb over my tear-stained cheek and pulled me into her embrace. For a moment I weakly fought, growling and snarling profanities at her. Soon enough, though, my attempts weakened and I completely crumpled under her touch. My breath came out in short gasps, my sobs growing louder and more heart-wrenching. But Cat simply held me tighter and hummed quietly to me. I found myself soothed by her sweet, airy voice as my sobbing subsided. I felt Cat smile into my hair and she lowered her head so our noses gingerly brushed together. "It's okay, Jade. You can cry when you're with me." She said in a quiet, airy voice. I felt my heart thudding warmly in my chest and I let one last tear drop down my face. "Thanks, Cat." I said quietly, suddenly looking around. People were staring at us, mouths agape and whispering to their neighbors. "Um, Cat. People are staring." I said in a low voice. Cat simply smiled and shrugged. "I thought the Big, Bad Jade didn't care what others thought." She said seductively, with a small giggle. My mouth hung open in protest. "I-I don't!" I said a bit self-consciously, and we both laughed quietly at this. I felt a small smile creep onto my face, and the necklace seemed to sparkle ecstatically. Cat is my Beauty and I am the Beast.

"Now most of the time, we'd had too much to drink
And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young to notice, and too dumb to care
Love was a story, that couldn't compare…"

That very same day, as I lay in my bed, my head swirled with anticipation. My flesh still burned from where Cat's touch was. And for some strange reason, my necklace was still sparkling like a priceless jewel. I stared at it for a moment, before shrugging it off and looking over at a picture on my desk. My heart thudded painfully; it was a picture of me and Cat when we were seven. I had my arms wrapped around her stomach as she leaned back into my arms; we were both laughing. I shook my head. She made the breakup with Beck feel so… unimportant.

I couldn't take it anymore. I picked up my phone and scrolled down my 'Favorites' in my contact list and halted at Cat's number. I tapped it, chewing my lip nervously as it rang. At the second ring, it picked up with a cheery tone. "Hello?"

"Hey! Uh, Cat… it's me, Jade."

"Oh, hi Jade!" she said happily. I gulped as I fiddled with one of my black locks of hair. "Um, so what are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm taking care of my mother with my dad. She's really sick…" she trailed off sadly. I sighed. "Oh, Cat… well, do you want to come over? To get your mind off of it, I mean?"

Cat was silent for a moment, before I heard her say sweetly. "…I'd like that." Cat is my Beauty and I am the Beast.

"I said, 'Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I made you a present with paper and string.
Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.
You know that I love you, will you marry me?'

Now son, I'm only telling you this...
Because life, can do terrible things
You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray
That God, shows you differently…"

Cat and I hung out every day after that. We were inseparable; I wanted her by my side every moment of every day. We balanced each other out; she helped me forget about Beck, and I helped her forget about her mother's sickness.

I watched Cat twirl and dance to the radio in her room. As I sat on her bed, I felt a smile grow onto my face. She looked stunning as her body swerved with each note. She threw her head back and laughed as the song drew its close. I got to my feet and walked over, turning off the radio. Cat stopped laughing and looked at me with a pout. "Jade! What did you do that for?" she whined. I smiled and grabbed her by her waist, twirling her in a giant circle. Cat squealed excitedly and tried to push me off in a fit of laughter. "Because!" I said, setting her down. "I have a present for you!"

"A present? Ooooh, I love presents!" she said, her mouth agape with excitement. I smiled and stroked her cheek. "Well, I hope you like this one." I said, walking over to her bed and pulling something out. I handed it to Cat and she gasped. A black rose and a red rose were nestled together, their thorn-covered stems entwined. Cat gazed down at them. "Jade, I…"

"Look, the red one is you and the black one is me." I said, pointing a finger to them. A smile spread across the smaller girl's face and she attacked me in a bone-crushing hug. "Aw, Jade! I love it!" she said, her voice muffled by my shirt. I smiled at her and said, "That's how I want to spend every day; with you with me. I'd hold you close, smile at you, kiss-"

I broke off and looked away, my face growing red. I felt Cat's fingers grab my chin and she tilted my head to face her. "And kiss me." She finished my words in a quiet, seductive way. I gulped audibly as Cat leaned in. I felt myself leaning in too and my eyes fluttered shut a split second before my lips pressed softly against hers. Her lips were soft and tasted like cotton candy as I pressed them against hers a bit harder, my necklace flashing. Cat suddenly pushed me back and climbed on top of me, straddling my waist. I felt her pulling playfully at my bottom lip and I opened my mouth, giving her full access. Cat wasted no time; in a matter of seconds she shoved her tongue down my throat and her hands moved under my shirt, cupping my breasts. I gasped and we broke apart, panting. My necklace was strangely on the verge of vibrating by now; it was glimmering and shaking slightly. Cat looked down at me with a lustful glint in her eyes. "I really liked the present." She said seductively, and I nodded. "Me too." Then she pulled me into another heated make-out session. Cat is my Beauty and I am the Beast.

"She said, 'Boy can I tell you, a terrible thing?
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please, don't be sad now, I really believe
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me'

Slow, so slow
I fell to the ground, on my knees…"

I held Cat close as she whimpered, holding onto me with all the strength she possessed. Her mother lay on her deathbed, her breathing faint. "Mom?" Cat said through her fit of sobs. Her mother's brown eyes flickered faintly towards her daughter. "Caterina, please… come here." Cat nodded and I squeezed her gently, before letting her go to her mother. Her footsteps were petite and fearful as she leaned over her mother. "Yeah, mom?" she asked quietly.

Her mother reached out and grasped Cat's hands. "You have been the greatest daughter that I could ask for. I'll miss you." She said weakly, releasing her daughter's hand. Cat looked down at what her mother left in her hand. It was a silver necklace with the left of a black heart-shaped charm on it. My eyes widened and I looked down at my own necklace; it was the same, except I had the right. Suddenly, both of our necklaces glimmered and shook until Cat's charm locked with mine in a beam of light. Her mother smiled weakly. "You two have a very special bond." She told us as I grabbed Cat's hand and squeezed it. "Now go, and live… for me." With a small smile her eyes closed for the last time.

"Mom? Mom, no!" Cat said, using her free hand to shake her mother vigorously. Tears streamed down her face and she cried out. "M-Mom, please! You can't leave! Mom!"

"Cat… she's gone." I said quietly. Cat turned to face me, unable to form actual words in her throat. I grabbed the redhead and pulled her close. Cat fiddled with her charm that locked with mine, hiccupping. I placed a kiss onto her lips and buried my face into her hair. "It's okay, Cat… It's okay." Cat is my Beauty and I am the Beast.

"So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose
If given the choice, then, I'm begging you, choose
To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you
I can't bear to see the same happen to you…"

Though Cat was still grieving over the loss of her mother, she did her best to muster a brave face in public. But when we were alone, I let her cry as much as she needed to, buried into the crook of my neck. But she would always stop whenever she would see our necklaces glittering and locking together to form a full heart, and smile.

Beck ended up crawling back to me, but I rejected him. He thought I was just using Cat to make him jealous, but to be honest, I really didn't care what he thought. My life in Cinderella was over, and my life in Beauty and the Beast began. I had finally gotten my Happy Ending.

Cat is my Beauty and I am the Beast.

"Now son, I'm only telling you this
Because life, can do terrible things…"

I actually had a lot of fun writing this. I know, I know, I was supposed to make Cat die in this. But I. Just. Can't. I hate character deaths, especially when it's Cat or Jade! So Missunderstood, did I do good? Please review and give me more suggestions!
