Hiiiiii

Jade's POV

I woke up to my alarm clock as usual and rolled over in the middle of my bed. It took me a minute to realize there should've been someone next to me.

I sat up and looked around my room but found no one. I got up and check my bathroom; nothing. I opened my bedroom door and started walking downstairs.

At the bottom step started smelling bacon, what is he up to? I entered my kitchen to see Beck fully clothed and holding a spatula. He had food cooking in three pans, reminding me of Martha Stewart or something.

"Good morning," he smiled at me when he saw me. God, he has a nice smile.

"Morning…"

He flipped something crispy in a pan, and I walked over to him like an attracted magnet. He looked so hot standing in my kitchen. I draped my arms around him and held him tight.

"How did you sleep?" he asked with his hands on my waist.

"Really well actually. I think I sleep better when you're here." That sounded so lame but it was true. I hadn't slept as greatly as I had these past two days in awhile.

"Really?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well you kinda woke me up a few times 'cause you were moving around."

"Oh. Sorry."

"No no that's fine, I was just worried something was keeping you up." Now that he mentioned it, I did wake up a lot last night. "What?" he must've noticed my expression.

"Nothing. I slept great." I smiled and hoped he'd drop it. He worried way too much. Especially about me.

"Are you sure?" There he goes again.

"Is something burning?"

"Shit," He said as he released me and quickly turned around to a pan on my stove that was now steaming. He turned off the flame and started swatting the smoke away from himself.

"Beck wait," I called to him, realizing the direction he was fanning the smoke in. He looked at me and stopped but it was too late. The piercing beeps of my smoke alarm system began at an annoying volume.

I ran to the counter under the alarm and climbed onto it. I stood and reached to shut the alarm off while Beck hovered near me cautiously.

"Be careful!" He called up to me.

"Relax Beck," I said after turning the noise off. "You don't know how many times I set this thing off when I was a kid."

"I don't doubt it," he laughed and I turned to jump off the counter but suddenly couldn't move. When did the room start spinning?

Beck's POV

"Jade?!" I said for the third time. She was standing on top of the counter with her arms up at her sides not answering me. Her body swayed for a second before she lost her balance and fell.

I managed to catch her, but stumbled back, both of us landing on the floor. I stood us up and sat her down on a stool. She put her arms on the counter and rested her head in her hands.

"Jade? Jade? Babe? Can you hear me? What's wrong?" I could hear the panic in my voice but I couldn't control it. "Jade?!"

"Yes," she whispered. "Stop yelling."

"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked urgently while getting her a glass of water. "Here, drink. Are you okay?"

"Yes!" She said, seeming to snap out of her daze. "I'm fine!"

"Drink," I said again and she took the glass from me, downing it in a second.

"What happened? Does anything hurt?"

"My head from you screaming in my ear." She said with attitude.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I ignored her mood change.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Do you mind telling me what happened just now?"

"What do you mean? I tripped, I fell. You were here."

"Yeah…except you didn't trip over anything. You just fell."

"I got a little light headed is all; lost my balance. No big deal." She tried to shrug it off, but I wasn't buying it.

"Is that what happened the other day?" I knew I shouldn't have let that go. No way she just fell asleep like she said.

"What? No." She shook her head and stood up. To my surprise she didn't lose her balance. "I'm just still really tired, and I probably climbed that counter too fast or something."

I kept the look of disbelief on my face until she spoke again. "Ugh, Beck relax. I'm fine okay? I promise." She looked at me with wide ocean eyes and I couldn't resist.

"Okay," I sighed. "But let me know if you start feeling sick okay?" I was such a pushover when it came to Jade. I'd find a way to give her the moon if she asked for it.

"Deal," she said as she wrapped her arms around my torso. She kissed me softly and I forgot about everything except her lips.

"What time is it?" she asked after an extensive period.

"7:35," I answered, looking at my watch quickly. I bent back down to continue exploring her mouth until she pulled back again.

"You should go," I frowned at her words. We were just getting started. She smiled at my pout. "Not that I want you to…Kris is gonna be here soon."

She unattached herself from my hold and left the room. I stayed and fixed her a plate of food I'd made before the bacon fiasco. She returned with my backpack and a smile.

"What're you doing after school today?" I asked hopefully.

"Mmm dress rehearsal for the Spectacular."

"And after that?"

"I don't know, why?"

"How would you like to accompany me to Hannah's soccer game?"

"Uh I wouldn't."

"Come on, it'll be fun. You can relive the old soccer days."

"Beck, be real. What if someone sees us? How would we explain why we're there together?"

"We're friends! You're being a good friend."

"Hah, yeah right."

"The game is at a park like an hour out of town, no one will see us. Trust me." She gave me a thoughtful look that made me wonder if I shouldn't have said that. Didn't she trust me?

"Maybe."

"Yes!" I celebrated my own persuasiveness.

"I said maybe!" She reminded me, but to me Jade's maybe was as good as a yes.

"Okay, you've gotta go." She laughed a little at my enthusiasm; I couldn't help it, we had actual plans to hang out.

"As you wish," I opened her kitchen door to go out the side. We lingered in the doorway for a second, just looking at each other.

"Hey, what did—," she started but stopped.

"What did what?"

"Nothing, never mind." She said quickly.

"You know, I hate when you do that." I said out loud.

"Do what?" she raised her eyebrows and put her hands on her hips.

"Never mind."

"No, tell me!" She commanded and I smiled. "Oh." She said when she understood what I'd done. "Whatever." She rolled her eyes.

"Bye," I leaned in and kissed her one last time. "See you soon."

Jade's POV

About fifteen minutes after Beck left, Kris texted me that he was here. I barely had time to dress myself and I looked a mess.

I had thrown on dark blue jeans and a faded dark green Led Zeppelin t shirt. I finger combed my hair on the way to the car and pulled out my makeup bag as soon as I got inside.

"Hello lover," Kris said after kissing me hello.

"Don't call me that," I said as I swiped on mascara.

"Whatever you say JJ," He smirked as he pulled away from my house. "So I have a surprise for you."

"I hate surprises." He knew that.

"I know, but this one you'll love," He promised as he pulled his phone out at a red light. He handed it to me to show me a text:

"Halloween Party in honor of the wicked Jade West.

641 Green Coast Drive.

Saturday 8:00pm.

Fun will be provided."

"What's this?" I asked, a little confused.

"It's for you!" He beamed at me. "Sorry its such short notice, but I know this whole spectacle thing is a big deal for you so I thought you deserved a celebration."

I stayed silent, stunned.

"What? You don't like it? I can take the wicked part out."

"No no. It's…great. Really. Thank you," I said. I really didn't care for parties but this was Kris trying to make me happy. He was trying to show me he care…while still being able to get drunk.

"Awesome," he smiled.

"Everyone from Dawson is going. It's gonna be the best party of the year."

"And your parent's don't mind you using the house?" Last time Kris hosted a party at his place, it lasted two days straight, and cost his parents thousands in damage.

"Yup," he smiled to himself. "This is my early birthday present from them." Oh crap. I'd almost forgotten his birthday was next weekend.

"So for your birthday, you asked your parents for permission to destroy their home?" I predicted how the night would end.

"Yep. And a Porsche," he said with a grin. I could almost laugh at his audacity, but that was honestly his natural personality.

"What's wrong with this car?" I questioned. He'd just gotten this car for Christmas last year.

"It's getting old. Plus I've been dying to have a Porsche since my dad got his." I recalled the shiny black sports car his father bought last month. His family was the definition of extravagant.

"Oh. Hey this Saturday is Halloween though," I remembered out loud.

"Exactly! It's gonna be the best costume party of the century. Jeremy and I are going all out, the house is gonna look beyond scary." He sounded like an excited child that just couldn't wait.

"Cool," I said simply. "Hey what're you going as for Halloween?"

"I thought we were doing the vampire thing?"

"Yeah, yeah we are, I was just making sure you remembered."

"Don't trip, boo. I just picked up our fake fangs from my uncle yesterday, they look sick!" His uncle was a dentist, so no doubt the teeth looked real.

"Cool," I said again with real enthusiasm as he pulled up to Hollywood Arts.

"You bet," he said as he put his car in park. "Oh hey, I forgot to tell you to forward the text to your friends from this school."

"This school…" I repeated.

"Yeah, the ones we hung out with that one time? The girl with the cheekbones and the rest of them?" Right, the rest of them. Including my male mistress.

"Oh, uh yeah I will."

"Actually go ahead and invite your whole school," He nodded like another couple hundred kids wouldn't do any damage. "The more the merrier."

"Umm alright," I said as I got out of the car. "See you later."

I walked into the main building and stood leaning against my locker. I looked down at the text invite. Should I send it to my friends? If I did, for sure Beck would attend…and I'm not so sure that's a good thing.

As much as I wanted to see him, it probably wasn't a smart idea to have him and Kris in the same room. Granted, Kris didn't remember Beck knocking him out at that party, I don't want to risk him finding out about us.

Plus, if I invited Beck, I'd have to invite Ally. And she might notice something going on between us and tell someone something. I hate that this much thought needs to go into one stupid invitation.

Then again…I did want Beck there. Before I could change my mind, I loaded the six names of my friends into the message and hit send.

I guess we'll just have to see how this goes…

The end!

I hope you liked this chapterrrrrr.
