"Hey!" Tori says to Jade as she walks in the door. "You've been at the bar all this time?"
"Um, no... not really." Jade says trying to avoid going into details with Tori.
Jade walks past Tori and goes to her room. She looks through her bags and pulls out a tank top and a pair of sweatpants and quickly changes her clothes when there is a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Jade yells out.
"It's Tori!"
"Here we go." Jade thinks to herself before opening the door. When she opens the door Tori walks in and jumps up on Jade's bed.
"I love this bed, I should have grabbed this room when we were picking."
"I haven't slept in it yet, so do you want it?"
"No... you already got it."
"O...k... Sooo what's up."
"I just came to talk to you, see how the bar was."
"It was nice. Huge actually. I ended up running into Beck while I was down there, so we sat and talked for awhile. Just did a little catching up."
"Oh really, Beck was there." Tori says.
"Yeah. Bet you wish you went with me now, huh." Jade laughs.
"Whatever, well I'm gonna go dry off and change. I'll talk to you later." Tori says hopping off the bed and leaving Jade's room.
Once Tori is gone Jade straightens up and grabs her favorite pillow that she bought to Vegas with her. She leaves her room and is almost out of the suite when she hears Tori call her name.
"Jade! Where are you going.?"
"Huh?" Jade says cluelessly turning around to see where Tori was.
"Where are you going? Why do you have your pillow?"
"Uhhh. Well, hmm. I'm... going to watch a movie...with Beck." Jade says.
"Oh." Tori says upset. "Look, if you and Beck are..."
"There is not a Beck and me. We were just going to watch a movie."
"Oh, okay. Well will it be okay if I join you guys?" Tori says with her arms crossed over her chest.
Jade doesn't respond at first, but manages to muster up a phoney smile.
"Of course you can." She says through her teeth.
"Cool, let's go."
Jade walks out of the room with Tori following behind her. When she gets back to the guys' suite she knocks on door and Beck opens the door excited and ready to watch the movie with Jade. Once he notices Tori standing behind her his smile disappears and a look of confusion comes across his face.
"Tori wants to watch the movie with us." Jade say very unenthusiastically.
"Yeah, I hope I'm not intruding." Tori says as she walks past Jade and takes Beck by the hand. "You wanna give me the tour?"
"Umm, sure." Beck says as Tori pulls him along. He turns back and looks at Jade who just shrugs her shoulders and walks off towards Beck's room.
Once in Beck's room, Jade sees that Beck has ordered all of her favorite candies and drinks and a big tub of popcorn. She hops up on the bed and tosses the pillows that are sitting where she wants to sit to the other side of the bed and puts her pillow up against the headboard. She gets herself comfortable and starts pouring m&m's and reese's pieces in the bucket of popcorn. She leans back against the pillow and shoves a handful of the popcorn/candy mixture into her mouth.
"And that brings us to my room." Beck says opening the door to his room.
"Wow, this is fantastic!" Tori says as she walks inside.
Jade rolls her eyes at Tori's eagerness, but doesn't say anything. She just keeps eating her popcorn mixture. Beck sees her on the bed and walks up to her.
"I was wondering how long it would take for you to pour those in there." He says.
"So what movie are we watching?" Tori says interrupting the two.
"The Scissoring 3." Beck says slightly annoyed.
"Oh." Tori says unimpressed. "I didn't know that was out already."
"It's not. I got a copy from the studio for Jade since she likes The Scissoring movies."
"Y'all don't want to watch something else?" Tori says climbing onto the bed and sitting next to Jade.
"Um, not really." Beck says. "This was kinda a gift for Jade."
"Well alright, I guess we're watching this. Ohh, popcorn!" Tori says as she reaches into the bucket and grabs a handful.
"Eww, what is this?" She says looking at her hand.
"It's popcorn with m&m's and reese's pieces. It's good." Jade says, growing impatient with Tori.
"Yeah, I remember Jade used to always dump those in her popcorn. I guess she still does." Beck laughs.
Tori scrunches her face in disgust. "Do you have any plain popcorn."
"It's good, try it." Beck says taking the bucket from Jade and popping a mouthful of the mixture.
"Nooo thanks, what else do you have?"
"Um... twizzlers, gummie bears..."
"Ugh, I don't think I want any of those. Thankfully, I don't plan on doing very much eating anyway." Tori says as she flashes Beck as flirty smile.
"You know what..." Jade says jumping down off the bed and grabbing her pillow. " I'm just gonna leave you two kids alone. I'll get the movie when you're done."
"Jade, you don't have to..." Beck begins.
"It's okay. You two enjoy." Jade says as she walks out of the door and back to her suite.
Jade walks into her room and tosses her pillow on the bed. She takes off her sweatpants and tank top and carefully places them on the back of the chair. She walks over to the mirror and snatches her hair up into a messy bun on top of her head when she hears the door open.
"Can I come in?" Cat whispers peeking her head in the door.
"Yeah come in." Jade tells her.
"How was the bar?" Cat says sitting down in the large armchair across from the bed.
"It was nice. Pretty big. I ended up running into Beck down there."
"Ooooh..." Cat says playfully. "How did that go?"
"It was fine. He sent me a drink and we sat and talked for awhile."
"So sweet."
"Calm down Caterina."
"Whaaaat. I want you two to get back together."
"Come on, that was so long ago. We're just friends. Plus Tori's trying to hook up with him anyway."
"But Beck doesn't want Tori." Cat says very matter-of-factly.
"How would you know?" Jade says
"Because he wants you."
"What-ever, how do you figure?"
"I've never told you this but every time I talk to Beck, he always asks about you. What are you up to, are you okay. He doesn't ask about Tori like that."
"So, that could just mean he's being friendly. We did date for years."
"He also told me that you two never really broke up, you just kinda drifted apart. You were busy with school and he was busy starting his career. And then when you got signed things really got hectic and y'all just kinda lost touch. So in my opinion you two are still together."
"We are so not together. He's dated other women and I've dated other men. And I've seen the girls he's been out with, they are nothing like me... they're more like Tori, so maybe she is the one he wants."
"Have you ever stopped to think that maybe he doesn't date girls like you because he wants you?"
"What?"
"He wants the real thing, not some cheap knock-off."
"I doubt it. Plus I'm not even thinking about that. He's hanging with Tori now, I'm here chillin."
"Okay, well let me ask you this."
"Whaaaat!" Jade whines.
"Did he ask Tori to hang out with him or did she just invite herself?"
Jade doesn't answer and instead gives Cat a look of annoyance.
"Ok fine, don't answer, but I have one more question. Did he ask you to hang out with him... I bet he did." Cat says with a playful smile.
"Are you done?" Jade asks her.
"Yep, I'm done... The hubby's about to come over and get in the jacuzzi with me anyway."
"Robbie was just in the pool, he's going to turn into a prune."
"He'll be alright. You wanna join us?"
"No thank you. I'm just going to relax."
"KK, well you know where I'll be if you change your mind." Cat says as she lifts herself from the chair and walks out the door.
Jade closes the bedroom door and pulls another bag from the closet. She fishes around until she finds her iPod and beats headphones. She puts the headphones on and turns the music all the way up. She sings and dances around before grabbing the complimentary notepad and pencil out of the nightstand. Jade jumps up on the bed and lays on her stomach and starts to scribble in the notepad, anything that came to her head she wrote down; song lyrics, doodles, etc. When her favorite song comes on she lays her head down on her arm and starts tapping her pencil along with the beat. She is in her own little world until she is startled by a hand on her back. She jumps up on the bed to see who it was.
"You scared the shit out of me!" She yells.
"Sorry." Beck laughs.
"What are you doing here? I though you and Tori were watching the movie." She says as she tries to cover her body with her hands without Beck noticing.
"Tori didn't really want to watch that anyway. So we ended up watching something else until she fell asleep."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"No it's fine. I didn't want to watch The Scissoring with her anyway... I wanted to watch it with you. I have the movie, and the popcorn." He says holding both up with a smile.
"Alright, let me put something on." Jade says as she slides off the bed. "Turn around."
"Why, I've seen you in less than this before. Plus, I kinda like this look."
"Ha ha." Jade says sarcastically. "Let me get a robe."
Jade grabs a robe from the closet and puts it on while Beck gets the movie set up on the dvd player. Once he has the movie ready to play he climbs up on the bed and sits the popcorn bucket in his lap. Jade sits on the opposite side of the bed and turns off the light.
"Why are you sitting all the way over there?" Beck says handing her the bucket.
"I don't know." She replies.
"Come on, what's the fun in watching a horror movie if you don't have someone to grab onto? Beck says as he scoots over and sits next to Jade on the bed. "Ready?"
"So ready." Jade says as Beck takes the remote control and starts the movie.
