Chapter 16
So guys… unfortunately this story will be coming to an end soon :( There will be a few more chapters, which I will make extremely long and they will be filled with tons of drama XD so stay tuned!
Jade's POV
"Cat! Tori! Whose ugly yellow and pink tank top is this?" I holler from my room, looking in disgust at the tank top. Tori comes running in!
"Don't rip it to shreds!" She yells, reaching for the tank top. I throw it at her.
"I should have," I mutter under my breath. I continue taking my clothes out of the basket, stuffing some of them in my suitcase for New York. I am bringing a ton of stuff, since I have no idea what we'll be doing.
"C'mon, guys! Let's decorate the tree!" Cat squeals. I turn around and see her red hair flash by. I groan, but walk out to the living room, my pajamas still on and my music still playing.
"Yay, everyone's up!" Cat chirps. I shouldn't be up since its only 10:30am, but that ray of sunshine woke me up with her screeching about doing the tree. Cat wanted us to put the tree up before we left because when we got back, it would be the night before Christmas Eve. And Cat wanted it up so 'Santa Clause' would know where to put her presents. I just don't get how she believes in some fat jolly guy who figures out a way to get his fat ass down the chimney, steal out cookies and milk and then leave presents to make up for him breaking in. The presents could have bombs in it for all I know!
"Jadey, you're supposed to be helping," Cat complains as I sit on the couch.
"No. I want to decorate my own black Christmas tree that won't be covered in sickening lights and cheap ornaments." I stand up and grab my purse off the counter.
"Where are you going?" Beck asks me.
"To get myself a black Christmas tree!" I snap at him as I walk out the door and drive off to the mall. When I get there, it's the easiest thing to find the fake Christmas trees. I finally spot a black one and find a box of really cool ornaments. I check out and put the stuff in the front seat since everyone's presents from me are stashed in the back. I get inside with my stuff and walk up the stairs to my room, laying it out on my bed. I build the small black tree and put in a free corner in my room. The ornaments have little trees made out of CDs, music notes, small guitars, microphones, small drum sets, pianos, and other tiny little ornaments. I hung them on the tree after I lined it with purple lights. I walk out in the living room and ignore everyone while scavenging through a box, looking a star topper that was made out of music notes. I had made it in preschool and it never was thrown away. I finally find it and run back to my room, placing it on top. I plug the lights in and the room lights up. I smirk and continue packing, staring at the tree in the process.
…
"Jadey! Wake up! We gotta get to our plane!" Cat screams, waking me up while jumping on my bed. I groan before turning around to look at my alarm clock.
"Cat, its 3am! Get out!" I yell at her, pulling the covers over my head.
"Fine, be that way. I'll just go get Beck," Cat chirps, walking out and shutting the door. Right when I'm about to fall asleep again, my door opens.
"Jade…," I hear Beck whisper, getting in next to me.
"Go away," I mumble into my pillow.
"Babe, you've got to get up," Beck says, nudging me.
"Don't touch me!" I snap at him quickly. He sighs before kissing my cheek and crawling out of my bed.
"Our flight leaves at six, it takes at least 30 minutes to get there so get up. You can sleep on the way there, at the airport and on the plane," Beck says, turning on the lights.
"Turn it off!" I scream, throwing a pillow at his head. He immediately turns it off.
"Typical Jade," I hear him mutter before walking out. I slowly sit up, walk to my makeup counter and apply mascara, eyeliner, little bit of foundation and lip balm. I change into an over-the-shoulder purple shirt with black lace lining it, black leggings and combat boots. I brush out my hair and do nothing more since it's naturally curly. I walk in the bathroom and grab all of my Splat hair dye, stuffing it In one of my bags. I lay back on my bed, checking my phone. 4:03am.
"Beck, come get my stuff!" I call from my room. He comes in and looks relieved to see me ready. He sighs as he grabs my stuff and hauls it out to the car like a good boyfriend. I grab my purse and slide my scissors inside my boot. I walk out to Andre's car and climb in the very back. Cat goes and sits in the front seat while Tori sits in the back in front of Beck. Robbie sits in front of me and Andre gets in the driver's seat. Everyone's stuff is scattered everywhere. I stretch my legs out across Beck's lap, laying down and closing my eyes.
I open my eyes when I hear everyone piling out of the car. I groan before getting out, leaning against the car. Beck makes me take my suitcase in, since he's got two of my other bags.
"Ma'am, please remove your jacket and boots," a much too perky lady says as we reach security. I groan, but put my jacket in the container. I slip off my shoes and she notices my scissors.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but those will not be able to board the plane with you," she apologizes. "They are much too sharp."
"It's not like I'm gonna murder anybody with it," I say stubbornly. She sighs and closes her eyes in aggravation.
"Ma'am, you can't board with weapons-"
"It's not a weapon!" I exclaim, getting angry. The gang starts to glance towards us.
"Ma'am, please calm down. I'm sure you're not as mean as you look but please calm down." Oh hell no. This bitch is judging me.
"Just because I'm wearing dark clothing and combat boots with scissors doesn't mean anything!" I yell at her.
"Security," she says, sighing while glaring at me.
"Jade, what's going on?" Beck asks me. I ignore him as the security comes up.
"Is there a problem?" One guy asks.
"Yes!" I exclaim. "She's making me throw my scissors away and judging me!"
"Ma'am, you can't board the plane with scissors but I'll keep them here until you arrive back," he tries to compromise.
"That'll be fine," Beck butts in, smiling at the man. He shoots me a look before handing him the scissors. I sigh as I walk through the scanner and it suddenly starts beeping.
"What now?!" I say, aggravated.
"Ma'am, please remove your piercings," a guy says from the other side. I groan, but comply and hand it to him. I walk through with no problems this time and he gives it back. I give him a fake smile as he says thank you and put it back in. I walk back over to wear I was and lace my boots back up, folding my jacket over my arm. I take my suitcase and walk over to an empty seat. I pull out my headphones and plug them into my phone, turning on Somebody Told Me by The Killers. I've never been very fond of flying. It always makes my ears hurt and pop and I'm scared of heights so I'm kind of nervous. Not that I would never admit that. They eventually call our flight and I put my phone in my pocket. I roll my suitcase through the tunnel after I gave the lady behind the counter my ticket. When I look back, I see Beck smiling and saying something to the ticket lady. Anger flares inside of me and I reach our section. It has a curtain separating us from the others. Sweet! And only our chairs were in the area. I take a window seat and immediately shut the window after I haul my luggage above me. Beck comes and takes a spot next to me. I glare at him.
"What did I do this time?" He asks, sighing.
"You were flirting with the lady at the counter!" I snap at him.
"Jade, I wasn't-"
"Save it, Beck. Just shut up and leave me alone," I cut him off.
"Jade! I didn't do anything wrong!" Beck protests.
"You smiled at her!" I yell back.
"It's called being friendly!" He shoots back.
"It's called cheating on your girlfriend!" I snap at him. His face suddenly hardens.
"I would never chest on you, Jade! How could you even think like that?" Beck asks, now aggravated.
"Because you flirt with every single girl you run into!" I shout at him.
"You know what? If you're gonna do this every time I have to be polite to a girl, maybe we should just take a break!" He retorts. I felt my heart shatter.
"Fine!" I yell back, my voice cracking. So much for a birthday present.
I'm so sorry! I just got done watching the final iCarly and now I'm listening to sad music! I just had to make it more interesting! Don't hate me!
