Chapter 10
Whoop whoop…chapter 10! Just to make this clear, they broke up at Tori's house, that heartbreaking episode we watched (seriously, I cried my eyes out. You could see the tears in Jade's eyes), then they got back together, broke in this story and then got back together. Jade's just asking him this. BTW, in the song, Cat is bold italics, Jade is italics and Tori is underline. Bold, italics and underline is all of them together.
Jade's POV
"Why didn't you open the door?" I ask him. He looks slightly confused.
"Because you opened it for me?" He tries, referring when I just pulled him in here.
"You know what I mean," I snap at him. "I want to know what stopped you from opening the door at Tori's house and humiliating me in front of everybody."
"Jade, I was tired of fighting all the time," he says honestly. "I mean, it was just fight after fight and I was growing to be sick of it. You can't tell me you weren't sick of it." I don't answer him.
"I just wanted it to end. But it never did. I thought breaking up with you was the right thing to do for the both of us. Clearly, it wasn't. I'm sorry," Beck says sincerely, staring intently into my eyes. I know he means it so I nod.
"How did you feel when you got to ten?" He asks carefully.
"So what, now were playing 20 questions?" I tease. He smiles. "Honestly, I felt like I died if you really wanna know. I felt like crying. I felt like hating you. I felt like loving you. I felt like breaking your pretty little face. I felt like an emotional rollercoaster.
"Jade, I'm so-"
"I already know you're sorry," I interrupt him. "I'm not gonna make you say it again." We sit in silence for a second until he breaks it.
"Why did Tori come to me when you broke up with me a long time ago?" He asks. Oh, just peachy. I get to tell him how I whined to little miss perfect about him. The joy.
"Long story," I sigh. "Ask her. She can probably explain it better than me." I lean back on the couch since we have an intermission right now for our concert. Beck walks out, going to talk to Tori, most likely. I sigh before getting up and putting my ear against the door.
"Beck, she brought a kite to my house crying," Tori says in a 'duh' voice.
"A…a kite?" Beck asks, a little shocked that I would relate our relationship to a kite.
"It was a broken kite, to be exact," Tori corrects him. I roll my eyes. "She simply said, 'this kite is broken and someone needs to fix it.' She was talking about your relationship being a broken kite and that it needed to be fixed. Then, she ruined my pillow with her makeup smudged and smeared on it from crying over you. The thing that shocked me Is that she came to me for help."
"A…a kite? Or relationship resembles to a kite?" Beck is still shocked I brought a kite.
"Get over the kite! I'm not done with the story!" Tori quickly snaps at him. "Then, she asked me to go talk to you because you rejected her."
"Oh," is all Beck says. After that long story, all he says is 'oh?' Whatever. I go back and sit on the comfy, squishy couch and put my headphones. I play Innocent by Taylor Swift and slowly close my eyes, eventually falling asleep.
"Jade," the voice comes in and out of my mind. "Jade, you gotta change for the rest of the concert." I slowly open my eyes, leaning on my elbows as I barely sit up.
"What?" I say my voice hoarse from sleeping. I squint, my eyes still adjusting to the light. I suddenly realize I'm being way too nice for just waking up.
"Turn that shit off!" I yell throwing a pillow at the light switch. I groan and dig back into the couch.
"Jade…" Beck sighs.
"Don't interrupt my sleeping!" I yell.
"Fine!" I can picture him holding his hands up in defense. "Don't get up! But everyone else is ready to go onstage again without you!" I just mumble something I don't even understand. Beck groans before I hear him walk out and shut the door. Three minutes. I'll give myself three more minutes to sleep.
Of course my plan didn't go as I planned. I end up waking up ten minutes later. I quickly get up and change. After I get dressed I redo my makeup and brush my natural curly hair. I walk out and spot a coffee maker on one of the makeup counters. I take a cup and fill it up with coffee before putting sugar in it and snapping the lid on. I chug it down fast, knowing I have to get back onstage. But I should not have done that. I begin to get hyper and bounce a little bit. I realize I put way more sugar than I normally do into my coffee. Cat, Tori, Beck, Andre and Robbie suddenly come into view and I jump over to them.
"Whoa, girl." Andre stares at me. "Calm down."
"What if I don't wanna calm down? What if I wanna bounce off the walls?! Huh? HUH?!" I ramble, still jumping.
"My God," Beck mutters under his breath. "She's on a coffee rush."
"Coffee rush?" Tori questions stupidly.
"It's like a sugar rush except with coffee," Cat explains. "Is it the girls' turn to sing now?"
"Yep," Robbie smiles. Cat, Tori and I walk on stage and the beat to Turn Me On starts playing.

I would explain the crowd, but right now I am just so damn tired I don't have the energy. The others and I do one last song before the crowd starts disappearing, finally. I collapse on the couch in dressing room, immediately falling asleep.
Yes, it's short I know.
