Heya Fanfictioners! I am back with a loong overdue chapter. I am sorry for the wait. I think I may be my biggest critic because I wrote so many different versions of this chapter and I wasn't satisfied enough to post it. But this one I enjoy! Also I have a bit of a problem with writing Jade. I'm sorry to say that too many people who ship Bori likes to make Jade an evil b*tch. I didn't want this to be a too cliché Bori-story so excuse me if she's a bit OC. But enough with this long ss A/N. Lets get on with the story.

Disclaimer: I hadn't been doing this on the other chapters so I'm sorry if you thought I was Dan.

To say Jade was heartless wouldn't be fair. Sure she was intimidating-ly scary and never bit her tongue, she could actually be nice and caring sometimes. Now was one of them. Maybe it was Andre's words from earlier today that made her think rationally. They had a good run; three whole years exclusively and about 5 months before then. And though she did still care for him; she knew his heart wasn't hers anymore. God, she hated how cheesy her thoughts had been lately!

When they arrived back to the beach house after their trip to the beach everyone was exhausted. And Trina was red.

"It's a sunburn." Tori clarified for the umpteenth time.

Trina rolled her eyes and tossed the magazine she was reading onto the sofa before turning to her younger sister.

"Its called a tan. Awesome people like me don't get burns. Though, you could use a little color. You're pale as a ghost." Trina scrunched her face examining her younger sister.

"Actually, ghosts are transparent or clear." Robbie butted in happily as if that was an interesting fact. When everyone continued to stare at him in an 'I don't care' fashion he sighed and mumbled something incoherently under his breath.

"One time, my brother thought he saw a ghost watching him sleep." Cat said in her usual airy tone.

"If he was sleeping then-never mind." Jade decided not to question Cat's brother's odd behavior for she had more things on her mind that didn't concern a thing the redhead uttered.

Stalking over to where Beck and Tori stood laughing together. She had known Beck long enough to know that he rarely laughed. Maybe smile in amusement or even chuckle, but he was laughing. Something he seemed to be doing allot lately, especially around Tori. Jade cringed wishing those darn memories would quit sneaking up on her. They weren't exactly making her good deed any easier.

But before she could reach them, Cat jumped in front of her.

"Jade! I have a hilarious joke to tell you." she giggled. Jade rolled her eyes knowing it would take awhile for her to get it out, half the time they didn't even make sense.

"Cat, not now I'm-" "Please!" Cat begged making a pouty face and putting her hands together in a pleading motion. Yeah, she caved in.

"Alright!"

"Yay! Okay, knock knock."

Jade sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Who's there?"

"Orange!" she led on. Jade began to laugh hysterically deciding she really didn't want to hear it. Cat being as clueless as she was laughed too.

"See? I told you it was hilarious!" she said in between laughs. Jade nodded and grabbed her side to emphasize how funny the untold joke was.

"Yeah, when you're right, you're right!" and with that she continued her task and left Cat yelling in between laughs about how sore her ribs were.

"Oh, hey Jade." Tori greeted as Jade finally reached the two.

"Yeah whatever, mind if I borrowed Beck for a second?" The Goth didn't wait for Tori's response, or cared to hear his. After all, she didn't have to ask in the first place. She was really becoming too polite for her liking. She dragged her ex away from Tori by the forearm and led him outside for privacy; shutting and locking the door behind her.

"What's going on?" he asked not sure if he should be angry or frightened. That's right, the laid back Beck was actually scared of something; his ex. He wasn't scared by her before because he had known what would make her happy. And lets just say it was something that friends don't do. (A.N./Get your heads out the gutter, I mean kissing!)

She rolled her eyes, a habit she made whenever he'd speak to her.

"You're gonna play dumb or do you plan on telling me?" she declared with her arms crossed across her chest. He raised an eyebrow at her, not sure what she was talking about. She sighed, Dumb it is.

"You like her don't you?" she asked, not able to say her name. Not that she thought she had to.

"Her?" Beck asked still not getting it. Okay fine, he knew pretty well who, but in case she wasn't talking about Tori. After all, how would she know that when he himself didn't?

Jade snapped, "Tori! You like Tori!" running a hand through her blue-highlighted hair. She took a breath to calm her down. She didn't want a simple kind gesture to turn into another of their many arguments.

"What?" he squeaked, his voice actually a higher octave than normal. "I do not." Beck laughed. If he was speaking to anyone else, they wouldn't know he was lying. Jade however, knew and gave him that, 'you're lying' look. His smile faltered and he cleared his throat knowing this wasn't a laughing matter.

"How'd you know?" he confessed. Despite not wanting to have this conversation with his ex-girlfriend-especially one as malicious as she, he was uncomfortable. But it was a relief being able to tell someone.

"I have my ways of knowing things." she started circling around him like a shark would its prey.

"I know that Robbie would never get a girl. I know that its going to rain tomorrow. And I know that you tried to kiss Tori months ago." This caught his attention and he grabbed her wrist so she'd stop walking in circles and pulled her down to him on the edge of the pool. Was it possible to get dizzy watching someone walk in circles?

She smiled smugly. "I told you I know things."

"And I also know that she likes you too."

"But you're okay with that? I don't want you to feel uncomfortable-"

"I wont. In case you hadn't noticed I'm over you." she said bluntly with a small laugh. He watched her carefully for a second longer before engulfing her into a bear hug, picking her up from the poolside and twirling her.

"I love you so much." he spoke into her hair that still smelled like lilac; her favorite flowers. He did love her, he really did love her. Just not in that way anymore, and she was okay with that.

"Yeah yeah."

And I'll end the chapter like that. Hopefully you guys like this chapter, and forgive me. I apologize if I don't update as quickly as I should, but you have to understand that writing for me is more of a hobby; I have to be inspired before I could write something and inspiration is rare for me. And I apologize if maybe Jade wasn't in character, but don't worry; she'll return to her normal sassy self next chapter.
