Chapter 7

Chapter 7… :D

Jade's POV

So, now I live with my new friend, Jennifer, who happens to live on her own. Luckily, she's almost always hanging out with her boyfriend or her other friends, so I get the house to myself most of the time. My room has a new look to it. It's actually not all black anymore. I had a black comforter, but it had deep purple and dark grey design patterns scattered all over it. The sheets were a deep purple, too. My walls had to stay white because the apartment doesn't let us paint the walls. I have a black makeup counter in the corner with a grey plush chair tucked neatly underneath it. In the other corner I have a black desk with the same chair except it swiveled. I have a black TV stand with movies and CD's lining the shelves and of course, a plasma TV in the middle of it. Next to my bed was a black nightstand. My bathroom across the hall had a shower curtain that matched my bedspread. I guess for the most part everything is still black. And my dad was away for the weekend so that's how I got my furniture here.

"I'm leaving, Jade! Call me if you need anything!" Jennifer calls from the front door.

"Bye!" I yell back. I hear the door shut and I walk into the living room. Suddenly, the doorbell rings. I look through the peep hole and see Beck, Andre, Tori, Cat and Robbie standing in front of the door. What could they possibly want? I haven't talked to beck since that day or the others. But like an idiot, I open the door.

"How the hell do you know where I live?" I demand, pulling my scissors out.

"Jennifer told us," Cat answers happily, smiling. I will gladly cut that smile off her face.

"Joy," I say sarcastically, a fake smile plastered on my face for a spilt second.

"We need to tell you something," Robbie says.

"If you're here to say you're sorry for the millionth time, then just leave because I don't feel like hearing it," I snap at them.

"We're not," Tori says. "Can you let us in now?" I look back to the house, Jennifer's Great Dane puppy sitting calmly on the black sectional. I sigh loudly before opening the door wider so they can come in.

"Now what do you want?" I sneer as we're all settled in the living room. I'm sitting on the couch, squished in between Cat and Beck which I really don't prefer. Not to mention the huge 7 week old puppy sprawled across our laps. Tori is in the matching recliner with Andre and Robbie sitting on the arms of it.

"We have a big surprise for you!" Cat exclaims.

"I hate surprises." I glare at her. "And the people I hate the most in my house."

"Just let us tell you," Tori groans at my stubbornness.

"We talked to Sikowitz," she says.

"About you being in the concert," Andre continues.

"And he said you could join," Beck finishes for them. I sit in silence for a moment.

"No," I simply shrug. "I don't want to be in a concert with any of you."

"You can pick your songs to sing," Cat says.

"And wear whatever you want," Tori chimes in.

"Fine, fine! I'll do it." I say after a while. They all squeal like little four year olds. Tori pulls out a bunch of papers from her purse.

"So, we're already singing the songs we've sung at other places." She hands me them. "You can read over them."

"How come Tori gets almost all the solos?" I ask.

"Well, we're all still deciding what solos to do," Tori answers.

"I'm writing what songs I wanna sing." I grab a pen and add on to the solos section.

You Don't Know Me: Jade

"Here." I hand the papers back to Tori.

"I've never heard of You Don't Know Me," she comments.

"That's because I wrote it," I answer proudly. After an hour, we take a look at the songs. I refuse to do duets with Beck, so I do all of mine with Andre. We do E.T. by Beat Frequency(The Voice, The Last Time by Taylor Swift and If You Ever Come Back by The Script.

"We've got a lot of songs," Tori says. "We need to take off some. I'll take off You're The Reason, Bad Boys and Best Friend's Brother. That gets us to 20, which is our maximum."

"Let's go practice in the music room," I say, standing up.

"You have a music room?" Andre asks as I open the door. A keyboard, drum set, base, 2 guitars, grand piano and a recording booth fill the room. Microphone stands with mics on them line the room.

"Let's practice!" Andre exclaims excitedly. "Who's going first?"

"We all don't have to play the instruments because a lot of them are programmed into the computer," I tell them, walking over to it. "Tori's going first with Make It in America." I tap the song as she gets the mic ready. She sings, everyone but me staring at her. She's really not that good. I mean, she's good, but not extremely talented like me.

"Who's next?" I ask.

"You!" Cat smiles. "Sing your song!"

"I'm not singing any of mine. You'll just have to wait and find out for yourself," I tell her. Everyone continues to go until we all start to get tired.

"When is this again?" I ask.

"Next Friday night starting at 7," Tori says as we collapse in my living room.

"I guess we're all crashing here?" Andre asks, yawning.

"Someone can sleep in Jennifer's bed because she's staying the night out, someone can sleep on her sofa bed in there, someone on this couch and someone on an air mattress in here," I say. Cat and Tori go claim Jennifer's room. Andre and Robbie decide to take the living room. That just leaves innocent little Beck.

"I guess you're staying in my room," I sigh as Robbie pumps up is air mattress. Beck smiles tiredly.

"Dork," I mutter as we walk into my room. He immediately slams himself on my bed, falling asleep instantly. I groan and shove him to the other side, crawling in. I feel safe as I fall asleep, being next to Beck just makes things so much better.

Well… TADA! I liked how it ended. BTW, Jade's still depressed. She's just not showing it all that well. I'll be back soon! XD With some Bade joining me ;)
