Chapter 2
Plans Were Hatched
Jade's Plan
For a change anger wasn't covering up the fact that Jade desperately missed the follically gifted boy. She felt devastated and helpless. Jade West doesn't do devastated and helpless. It had been two weeks since the breakup and Jade had spent a lot of time locked in her bedroom listening to sad music, well sadder music than she usually listened to. Clarity hit Jade. When something bad happens to Jade West she fixes it or makes it pay. So, Jade was going to fix it, a plan emerged. Jade bought a stuffed Rottweiler dog online. She paid the extra shipping cost to have it overnighted and tried not to talk herself out of the plan. When the much anticipated package arrived she tied a note around its neck that said, "I'm sorry." Jade felt nervous but also relief. Before the clock struck midnight she and Beck would be reunited. She wouldn't have to spend another day without him. She was going to go to Beck's house late that night when his parents were asleep, knock on his door, and leave the Rottweiler there, just like last time. Except this time it was a fake dog so it wouldn't attack anybody. It was sweet, honest, and romantic. Behaviors Jade didn't often entertain so Beck would understand the genuineness of the action. Jade even rehearsed a speech in front of her mirror so she would know exactly what to say to him. However, she never left her bed. The thought what if he doesn't want me invaded her mind. She ended up taking her scissors to the stuffed dog.
Beck's Plan
Beck missed Jade. Everything reminded him of her. He regretted not opening the door. He regretted it the moment his hand failed to turn the handle. He wanted her back. He developed a plan. He needed to do something drastic to get her attention and prove that he was sorry. He copied their song, "I Got You Babe" by Sonny and Cher on c.d. It was the first song they had ever danced to at the first high school dance they attended freshman year. He called her babe as a joke and it just stuck. He was going to go to her house and play the song, like in the movies. It was cliché but it would give him an opportunity to soften her up and get her to talk to him. He knew she may not want to listen to him so he wrote her letter, three pages front and back. He was awake until three in the morning recopying the letter to make sure it was perfect. He even used a dictionary. He knew she would overanalyze any misspelling or if he had scribbled anything out, thinking that he didn't care that much if he could make such a mistake. He anxiously waited for school to be over. When school finally ended he was going to go to her house. However, he never made it to her house. He kept thinking that she gave him the ultimatum and she would never forgive him for not going after her. He remembered that he didn't go after her because he was afraid that if he did, nothing would change, the fighting would commence and their problems would be unsolved.
