This chapter is an example of what happens when I don't plan out a story in its entirety :P I do hope you like it though. Let me know what you think!

Thanks so much for the amazing feedback on my lemonade story! Really made me excited to think up more ~original moments :)

Beck leaned against the brick wall, hands shoved in his pockets. Most of the crowd had already left the theater. After distracting Mrs Lee for long enough he drove Robbie, Trina and Andre home and made his way back to the theater to pick up Jade. He wished he had been able to see the play as it was supposed to be; he'd been witness to Jade working on it for months. He'd been the only one allowed to read it before it was actually finished. But he knew that getting her dad to see it was even more important, so he was happy to help.

After a few more minutes he saw a tall man in a suit exit the theatre. Jade's dad. He'd met the guy a couple times and didn't like him. Jade's dad didn't like Beck either, probably due to the whole acting thing. But whatever, he really didn't care about the man, except that he hated how he made Jade feel.

A while later Jade and Tori. Jade offered him a small smile and immediately walked into his arms. He squeezed her gently, before turning them both so they weren't ignoring Tori.

"So, how'd it go?" He asked, looking from Jade to Tori. Both of them had a smug smile on their face so he guessed something went right.

Jade sighed loudly, "Fine, I guess."

"Are you kidding?" Tori asked, her smile turning into a full grin, "It was amazing! You did such a great job."

"Yeah." Jade shrugged. Beck nudged her slightly, tightening his arm around her and she got the hint. "Thanks, by the way. Without you there wouldn't have been a play at all so..." She trailed off, but by Tori's expression he guessed that it was enough.

They stood in silence for a while, until Beck decided it was late enough. He'd missed his girlfriend's play he didn't want to miss more quality time with her.

"You need a ride home?" He asked Tori, looking at her. His lips twitched in amusement as he felt Jade turn her head to glare at him, but he kept his eyes on Tori. She shook her head, and pointed to a car parked nearby.

"Nah, my dad's picking me up."

Beck nodded, lifting his hand off Jade's shoulder to give her a wave before turning both Jade and himself in the opposite direction.

They walked a few minutes before Jade muttered, "How far did you park?" Beck chuckled and pulled his keys out of his pocket, pressing the button to unlock his car which was just a few feet away from them. He stepped forward and opened the passenger door for her. She gave him a look which he understood meant she could do it herself but she was letting him off this time.

"So, what do you want to do?" He asked, as he turned on the engine. Jade's mom had had to missed the opening night so to make it up to her she had given Jade permission to stay the night at his. Not that they needed permission, or even wanted for it. And maybe she didn't know the whole story about Beck living in an RV by himself. But whatever, it was nice to know they had the whole night to themselves and no one would complain. Plus, tomorrow was Saturday.

"Something fun," Jade challenged him.

He raised his eye brow at her, before leaning in to kiss her on the lips. He deepened it as soon as she responded and pulled away just as quickly. She let out a deep breath as he focused on the road and pulled out of the park, feeling pleased with himself.

Jade fiddled with the radio until some old punk rock song came on, one he couldn't even remember the name of. But she turned the sound down, so he assumed she wanted to talk.

"You talk to your dad?" He asked, glancing over at her.

"Yup," she replied, snapping the P. It probably hadn't gone great, then.

"Annnd?"

"He asked me to take my piercings out."

Beck chuckled, neither of Jade's parents had been very welcoming of Jade's piercings when she got them. He, himself, had been pretty shocked when she showed up at school one morning with them. They'd only been going a few months. But they suited her. He still had no idea how she got them without her parents' permission. Same with her tattoos. But he knew better than to ask.

"Did he say anything about the play?" he asked.

"He said it was excellent."

"Hey, that's good, right? He liked it!" He said, grinning at her.

"I guess..." He voice was oddly quiet.

He glanced at her again, "What's up?" He asked, before looking back at the road.

"He's never gonna accept that this is what I want to do. It's always gonna be a hobby or a phase to him." Jade's voice cracked a little as she spoke and he reached out his hand, finding hers and intertwining their fingers.

"You know what I think?"

"What?" He felt her shifting in her seat, and her voice was dubious.

"I think my girlfriend wrote and directed an amazing play while still in high school-"

"You didn't even see it," she pointed out but he ignored her. Besides, he'd been to the rehearsals.

"And, I think that she's going to continue to be amazing for a long, long time. So eventually, he's just going to have to accept the facts." He shrugged casually and looked over at her. She said nothing, but a slight smile appeared on her lips. She brought his hand, with hers, up to her lips and pressed them gently against the back of his palm.


"I said I wanted to do something fun." Jade said, looking at him pointedly when he pulled up in front of his RV.

He opened his mouth in fake-hurt, "You're saying I'm not fun?"

A grin appeared on her face before she could stop it, but still she rolled her eyes and punched him gently in the shoulder. He shrugged, "Besides, I have boardgames."

She scoffed, although he knew she would never turn down a game of scrabble. They got out of the car and he unlocked his RV, letting her enter before him.

A couple of hours later, Beck watched Jade yawn for the fourth time in five minutes. "Babe, you're exhausted," he said, leaning over the scrabble board between them to poke her shoulder gently.

Jade shook her head vehemently, "I'm fine."

"You just spelt 'house' with an A," he pointed out.

She looked over the board and growled before picking up the last few tiles she put down. "I still have more points than you."

"Look why don't we -"

"I'm not tying with you!" She said, looking at him as though he was crazy.

He couldn't help but chuckle. It amused him how competitive Jade was, and how passionate she was about spelling games. "I was going to say postpone it, we can finish it during breakfast?" He offered.

She considered it, and he took her silence as an agreement, so he pushed the board to side, careful not to move the tiles already placed. Jade was definitely tired; as soon as he shuffled to sit behind her she leaned against him and closed her eyes.

"Come on, let's get you to bed," he murmured, wrapping and arm around her waist and lifting her as he stood up. He was glad they'd brushed their teeth before starting the game, as well as changing into their sleepwear. Or, in Jade's case, slipping into one of his T-shirts. It barely reached her thighs, but definitely he wasn't going to complain.

She followed him the couple of feet to his bed, slipping under the covers before him. He reached up above his bed and hit the light switch. In the darkness she snuggled against him, putting her head on his chest, wrapping an arm around his waist and slipping a leg between his. Thought, he wouldn't have been surprised if she was already asleep and doing it all by instinct.

"Thanks," she mumbled quietly, her lips moving against his tank top.

He smiled to himself and by the time he stretched his neck to press a kiss into her hair she was already snoring gently.
