A/N: Hi everyone! I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to update. I was working on it but then Bade was broken up (Stupid Dan!) and I had no inspiration, but now they're back together for good! So RxR and Enjoy!
It's not what it looks like. It's not what it looks like.
The words keep playing over and over in Jade's head. How could she be so stupid? It was such a cliche thing to say and whenever someone says it, it is exactly what it looks like. She was just so overwhelmed with what Jason had told her and being caught in the closet, she hadn't known what to say. Not that she got the chance to the explain that to Beck. By the time she had composed herself and gotten up Beck was gone.
Before anyone had the chance to say anything, Jason got up and practically ran away with a quick "I'm sorry".
Jade didn't know what to do first, go after Jason, find Beck, or talk to her brother. She shot a helpless look at her sometimes-friends. Cat walked over to her and gave her a hug. Jade was so frazzled she even hugged her back.
"Jade what's going on? We understand it's been hard for you with your brother and his friends here, but how could you do this to Beck?" Andre needed to know.
"Yea it looked like you guys were kissing or something, I mean that's what people usually do in closets." Robbie added.
"Like you would know." Rex quipped.
"Okay, I'm gonna put an end to this now", Jade said, cutting off Robbie's retort, "Jason and I were not kissing, understand? We were NOT, so don't go spreading that around school, especially you Vega." She shot Tori a glance.
"I would nev-" Jade silenced Tori with another look.
"Did I say I was finished? Anyway, Jason was just filling me in on some things that have happened since I came to Hollywood Arts. Apparently I've missed quite a bit." Jade sighed and ran her fingers threw her hair trying to decide what to do.
"Okay there's clearly issues between you and your old classmates that you need to fix but you also need to straighten things out between you and Beck." Andre told Jade.
"You think I don't know that?"
"I'm serious Jade. Beck's been a little insecure since the prep school kids got here. I mean Jason was your first boyfriend and he is an older guy. Beck prides himself on not being jealous, that's why he hasn't said anything, but I think this really got to him. He knows you love him, hell everyone does, I think he just needs to be reminded of it."
"You're right." Jade admitted, shocking everyone, including herself. "I have to go find Beck." And with that she left.
Jade took a deep breath before knocking on the door of Beck's trailer. She usually never knocked, just barged right in, but this time it was different. She wanted to show Beck she felt bad about what had happened and understood that he was upset. Jade waited what seemed like forever before Beck finally opened the door. If he was surprised to see her he didn't show it, his face was a blank mask. His eyes were a completely different story; so many emotions flashed behind them, Jade couldn't pick up on a single one. She just prayed love was one of them.
Jade got so caught up in looking at him, he looked so cute barefoot, in rolled up sweats and a tank top, with hair messed up from him constantly running his fingers through it, that, for a minute, she forgot what she was doing there. Beck stared at her expectantly leaning against the door, but he didn't let her in. Not yet anyway, Jade thought, but he will.
"I'm here to apologize and to explain things. I know what you think you saw but there is so much more to it than you think." Jade told him
"I'm listening", He still didn't move to get her in, but Jade was done waiting.
Angrily pushing past him, Jade walked into the trailer. "I'm not going to tell you outside. I didn't do anything wrong so stop treating me like I did."
"So sneaking around and hiding in closets with other boys is okay. This is news to me, but fine, if it's okay for you to do it it's okay for me. Maybe I'll see if Tori wants to join me in the closet tomorrow"
"You wouldn't dare."
"Wanna bet?"
"I've had enough of this. I wasn't sneaking around I told you I had to talk to Jason and we were in the closet so none of the preppies would see us. It's not like I wanted to be in there with him."
"You know for someone who claims to hate Jason you sure do spend an awful lot of time with him."
"That's not fair I had to talk to him and if you'll just let me explain-"
"Explain why you were on top of him? I think I can figure that one out on my own."
"Ugh!" Jade threw her hands up in frustration "You are blowing this way out of proportion and completely over reacting."
"I learned from the best." Beck retorted with a pointed look, "Sound familiar?"
Jade knew from the numerous times she was in Beck's position that arguing with him wasn't going to fix anything. Being defensive doesn't work, she had to go on the offense. Taking a deep breath Jade walked up to Beck and put her arms around him. Beck didn't move a muscle, he even kept his arms crossed over his chest making the hug difficult.
Jade stared straight into his eyes as she talked, "Beck, honey, I'm sorry I didn't tell you I went to talk to Jason. I know it was a stupid idea to talk in the closet but nothing happened and nothing was going to. Jason was against the door when it opened and when he started to fall he grabbed my arm to balance himself but it didn't work and I fell too. That's why we were holding each other and I was on top of him. The closet was just for privacy so we could talk nothing else. I wouldn't want to do anything else. I love you and only you, so much." and with that she kissed him.
At first he didn't kiss her back, but she persisted and eventually wore him down. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into him, kissing her back forcibly. He broke the kiss but kept her against him.
"I love you too Jade. I'm sorry I got so jealous." he told her.
"It's ok," Jade said, "I kinda liked it. It's fun to see you all riled up."
"I know, why do you think I get you jealous all the time?" Beck winked at her.
"I knew it!" Jade shrieked, pushing away from him, but he pulled her back to him and down to the couch, kissing her deeply. Jade knew he was doing it to keep her quiet but this time she didn't mind. It was kind of their thing. Even though he always got her so worked up he was always there to calm her down. He loved her and she loved him, that was all that mattered.
A/N: I'm sorry again that it took me so long to update, this year has been hectic. I want to thank all my readers who kept commenting and asking me to update it really helped push to write so thanks!
Whether you loved, hated, liked, loathed, adored, abhorred, cherished or spit upon my story, let me know!
