Okay.. Seriously you guys make me smile so much! I can't believe how many of you followed/faved and reviewed! :D I love you!
I have had a few reviews on other stories that say I make Jade weak.. I think thats probably true :s i'm sorry, it's probably my worst OOC thing with Jade because I always put her in situations that I know personally I just couldn't handle. But let me know if you think this is majorly OOC or what I could do to improve that.

Jade was breathing heavily as she leant her head on the seat of the toilet. She could faintly hear the conversation between her boyfriend and frenemy occurring in the living room, but she couldn't focus at all on their words. How was she was going to tell Beck? How could she have let this happen?
She was snapped back to reality as she heard the click of the handle and the creak of the door opening. She instantly recognised the thud of those boots. It should have comforted her that he was here but more than anything it filled her with fear.. now Beck was here, it was real.
'God babe.. are you ok?' Beck asked concerned, quickly kneeling down next to her to rub her back.
'Yep' Jade answered hastily, not moving for fear of throwing up again.
'You don't seem ok...' Beck pointed out.
'I'm ok' Jade insisted, exhaling deeply and shutting her eyes. Tori came in shortly after and stood on the other side of the bathroom, biting her nails anxiously. Nobody said anything. Jades heart was pounding worrying about what she was going to tell him, what had Tori told him? What did he already know? Jade moaned weakly gripping tighter to the toilet.
'Hey.. shh, you're alright, take your time' Beck told her softly, continuing to rub her back but looking up at Tori anxiously. After a duration in those same positions, Jade felt well enough to lean back on her boyfriend. Beck brushed the hair away from her face and held the glass of water up to her lips so she could sip it before helping her clean herself up and then just continued to hold her silently against his body as she was shaking, obviously still not feeling herself.
'C- Can you just give me a moment alone, please, both of you?' Jade moaned miserably, several minutes later.
They agreed, although Beck reluctantly. Closing the door behind them, Beck and Tori shared a look of concern.
'Tori what is going on? What the hell happened?' Beck demanded in a whisper-shout. Tori looked guiltily towards the bathroom door then down at her hands before back up Beck and sighing. She was going to have to say something.. Jade needed him right now, she had never seen the fierce girl so afraid before. Tori grabbed Beck's wrist and pulled him away from the bathroom door but before she had the chance to say anything, Trina came bounding down the hallway.
'Ohmygod Beck is here! Hiii!' Trina shouted from the kitchen, her face lighting up at the sight of the fluffy haired boy.
'Trina! Not now..' Tori sighed
'Wait.. is this some sort of trick to kick me off the brain squeezers team?'
'Trina you were never on the brain squeezers team!' Tori snapped, getting annoyed by Trina's complete lack of notice that there was obviously something wrong.
'Where's Jade?'
'In the bathroom...No Trina, leave her alone!' Tori shouted as her older sister made her way over to the bathroom door. But just before the eldest sister could grab the handle, the door opened. Jade stepped out of the bathroom and walked straight over to stand next to Beck. The tear stains that had once marked her face had been washed away. Her make up was fixed and perfect and she'd let her hair down and looked, well, like Jade again. Tori looked the darker haired girl up and down in disbelief.
'Jade.. what's wrong?' Beck frowned, pulling his girlfriend into the living room completely bewildered.
'Nothing' Jade shrugged dismissively.
'Babe, I don't-' Beck began but stopped as Jade wrapped her arms around his waist tightly and closed her eyes just listening to his heart beat. Beck got the feeling he wasn't going to get any more details from her tonight
'So we're just going to pretend that didn't happen?' Beck sighed exasperatedly wrapping his arms around her gently.
'What didn't just happen?' Trina stormed over to the couple nosily.
'Trina! What part of "give them privacy" don't you understand!' Tori cried as she ran into the room after her sister.
'Nothing is wrong!' Jade shouted, pulling out of Beck's embrace 'Everyone just made a big deal out of nothing!'
'Me and Tori were having a sleepover and we were playing truth or dare' Jade explained, receiving raised eyebrows from everybody. 'Tori dared me to eat a whole bag of marshmallows and I guess my stomach just didn't agree with that' Jade rambled.
'What?! You and Tori are having a sleepover... together!?' Beck shook his head not believing Jade's story for a second 'You and Tori Vega?!'
'Tori' Jade said in a grave voice, her blue eyes piercing Tori's warningly to back her up.
'Uhh.. yeah, we're just having a girly sleepover, catching up, make-overs...' Tori improvised and Jade glared as she continued listing more and more unbelievable activities. 'Uhhh, we were just about to watch a movie.' Tori rescued the situation at the last minute.
'Really?' Beck looked from Tori to Jade who were both nodding profusely.
'Ughh I'm bored' Trina announced, flouncing back upstairs.
'How are you feeling now?' Beck ignored Trina turning to face his girlfriend.
'I'm fine, don't worry' Jade lied, forcing a small smile.
'Are you sure? You look awfully pale' Beck frowned
'I always look this pale, God don't you even know what l look like?' Jade snapped defensively.
'Okay.. well I guess I'll leave then.' Beck relented in confusion kissing Jade softly goodbye. Tori watched Jade's face fall as he headed for the door. She was obviously too exhausted to tell him tonight. Too much was going on with her parents and she had barely had a couple of hours to get her head around the possibility she could be pregnant, but it was clear from the look on her face that she needed and wanted to be close to him.
'No Beck wait!' Tori suddenly found herself shouting. Beck turned around abruptly both his eyebrows raised in complete disbelief. Jade was shaking her head at Tori alarmed and Tori had her hands on her head.
'Stay here!' Tori ordered the extremely confused boy, and grabbing Jade by the wrist pulled her back into the bathroom.
'I can't do this right now Tori' Jade leant against the wall as Tori locked the door behind them.
'I know' Tori agreed much to Jades surprise. 'You need time before you tell him, I get that.. but I think you need him around right now.' Jade crossed her arms looking away.
'I can send him away if that's what you really want, but you don't want that do you?' Tori eyed the black haired girl carefully who was biting her lip fighting back tears.
'Deep breath.. okay?' Tori tended to her for a few more minutes before leaving to talk to Beck.
Tori explained Jade's weird behaviour with just 2 words; 'female problems.' That was enough to convince Beck to stay and no further questions were asked. Jade rested her head on Beck's shoulder as the three friends watched a movie together and Beck stroked her hair as he could sense she just needed comforting right now. Her head was spinning with worry and guilt.. Why couldn't she just tell Beck? She didn't know. She was still in complete shock and she just hoped he couldn't notice that she wasn't paying any attention to the movie.
Beck had to leave around 10 as he had homework to do for school the next morning but Tori knew she did the right thing when she saw the couple hugging goodbye. They held each other just a little longer than usual, Jade's head buried into Beck's chest as he rubbed her back in concern and told her to get some sleep.
Jade was extremely quiet for the rest of the evening. Luckily Tori's parents were out of town so Jade could move in for the time being without having to get any parents involved. Tori helped the darker haired girl carry the 2 large duffle bags of her things from her car into the guest bedroom. One bag of clothes and one bag of her belongings. Jade sat down by herself on the edge of double bed, this whole situation seemed so surreal. There was a knock on the door and Jade looked up to see Tori entering the room and smiling back at her sympathetically
'Hey' Tori said softly as she sat down next to her on the bed. 'I know how your probably feeling right now..'
'You don't know the first thing about how I'm feeling!' Jade snapped, although her voice lacked its usual venom, sadness undertoning her words.
'Okay..' Tori said calmly, before presenting a small box 'Look I found this in my parents bathroom, I really think you need to take it'
'Tori' Jade wailed as the brunette handed her the box with a pregnancy test in it.
'If you take it then at least you won't be wondering, what if? all night.' Tori advised, watching as Jade mulled over the idea.
'Fine' Jade gave in and left the room to take the test. Tori waited anxiously in the guest bedroom for the goth to return. This was a situation that she never truly thought they'd have to deal with. Amongst their group they'd always joked about hollywood arts power couple getting pregnant, but now it was real and it definitely wasn't funny.
Thirty minutes later and Jade finally returned from the bathroom, looking white and terrified. She didn't say anything but just handed the stick to Tori. Tori took a deep breath before glancing at the pregnancy test. It was positive. She handed the pregnancy test back to the raven haired girl who just threw it away instantly before sitting back down on the bed next to her.
'Things happen for a reason' Tori said quietly. Jade scoffed, at how dumb she thought that advice was right now and shook her head.
'You should try to get some sleep. You look so tired and in your condition-'
'Don't Tori, please.. just don't' Jade interrupted as she lay down and pulled the covers over her head, unable to take anymore. Tori sighed as she left the room, switching off the light and closing the door behind her, heading straight to the bathroom to take a shower. Would Jade keep the baby? And if she did keep the baby, how different all their lives would be. It wouldn't be just them six anymore.. it wasn't just them six anymore. Tori was exhausted after everything that had happened and by the time she got out of the shower she was more than ready for bed. She dryed her hair and dressed into her pyjamas before making her way down the hall to her bedroom. But as she passed the guest bedroom she stopped still upon hearing the muffled sobs and sniffles of her friend.
Tori debated pretending she hadn't heard anything and leaving Jade be, but found herself completely unable to leave. No matter how mean Jade had been to her in the past she had reached out to her today and needed to be looked after. Taking a deep breath, Tori opened the door to the guest bedroom and went over to the side of the bed where Jade was buried under the covers. Pulling back the covers Tori was met with the sight of her friend trembling, completely broken down.
'Shhh, it's okay.. you're okay.' Tori soothed, getting into the bed next to her friend and pulling her into a hug. Tori half expected the goth to push her away immediately but to her surprise she went weak in her arms and allowed Tori to comfort her. Tori tried to think what would make her feel better if she were Jade right now but the answer to that question broke her heart.. she would need her Mum.
By the time Jade had cried herself to sleep, Tori was terrified. She had never seen anyone like this before let alone Jade West. And when she finally got to her own bedroom, Tori was convinced she had to phone Beck again and confess everything, forcing him to come over and give Jade the comfort she desperately needed. Tori grabbed her pearphone, her thumb hovering over Beck's number. But her common sense kicked in and told her that Jade had to be the one to tell him and sighing she put her phone on her bedside table before lying down and allowing herself to fall into an unsettled sleep.
Reviews make me happy :D
