Hey

Beck's POV

We'd been driving along the highway for a good half hour not speaking. It wasn't an awkward silence, and we weren't mad, it was a peaceful quiet. I looked to my left to see Jade nodding her head to the radio and lip syncing the words.

I couldn't help but smile at the way she looked. She still had on those tight pants and corset, and her hair was going crazy behind her with all the windows down in her car. She glanced at me for a second then looked back to the road with a grin.

I put my hand over hers on the gear shift and ignored the tingling I was starting to feel in my stomach. I didn't realize until we stopped, but she'd pulled over in the middle of the freeway and was now looking at me mischievously.

"What's going on?" I asked curiously, she looked cute when she had that evil smile on her lips.

"Wanna drive?" She said as she unbuckled her seatbelt. What? She was letting me drive her car?! I'd been dying to ever since I saw it, but never had the nerve to ask.

We both got out of her car and met at the front of the hood.

"Be careful, this is my baby," she warned me. "I love it more than you, Kris, and scissors put together."

"Are you implying that you love me?" I smiled big, and she blushed.

"Beck, I'm being serious."

"I know," I let it go. "I'm just kidding." She dropped the keys into my waiting palm and made her way to the passenger's seat.

I tried not to let my excitement show as I got behind the wheel and started the car, but couldn't stop the giant grin from appearing. I looked to my right just as a flash went off and Jade lowered her pearphone.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"Memories," she said simply. "Go."

She didn't have to tell me twice. I shifted gears and floored it. It was already late so there weren't many cars on the freeway, and I took full advantage. Her car felt powerful as I sped up to pass through the few cars in my way.

As I pushed way beyond the speed limit, I looked to Jade quickly to make sure it was alright; Ally always freaked when I went over 65mph. Instead of looking panicked or even a bit nervous, Jade was smiling.

I laughed to myself and kept driving. I remembered a place I'd gone hiking once before was around her and exited the highway. After about twenty minutes, I found the long winding road that led up to a hill. I parked her car at the peak of the hill that overlooked Hollywood, and sat back to take in the view.

"Wow," she said at all the twinkling lights in front of us.

"I know," I agreed with her silent awe and turned to stare at her. Before long, she looked back into my gaze and motioned with her index finger for me to come closer.

I obliged happily and leaned over the armrest to kiss her. She smiled into the kiss and put a hand on my cheek. I couldn't resist letting my hands wander to her body, and I put one hand on her thigh and the other through her hair.

"Mmm…" she moaned against my lips and the vibration drove me wild with desire. I moved my hand up and down her leg until it trailed between her thighs. She spread them voluntarily, and raised herself at my touch.

Her pants were thick, but I could still feel her getting hot through them. She broke apart from my lips and slid her pants off quickly. The sight of her thin black underwear alone got me hard and I pulled her back for a kiss immediately.

She took things further by climbing across the seat to straddle me in my lap. She accidentally hit the horn, startling us both into laughter. I moved the seat backwards for more room as she slid her tongue into my mouth.

I reached behind her and let my fingers try to figure out how to undo the corset while she moved faster and took my over shirt off. I was still untying random bows in the back of her top when she took my t shirt off and ran her hands up and down my chest.

Her touch felt magnetic, like her body had always been meant to be on mine, and we just didn't know it. Finally, I did something right because her corset loosened until I could pull it off completely. I backed away from her kiss when I realized she wasn't wearing a bra.

"What?" she said when I stopped and stared. "Beck?"

"Huh? Uh sorry," I could barely tear my eyes away from her breasts. She looked so perfect with the moonlight behind her, glowing her pale skin as she sat on my lap. She just smiled and shook her head at my sudden foolishness, but bent down to kiss my neck.

The feel of her chest on mine was insatiable combined with the slow wet kisses she was planting along my neck and collarbone. She kissed up my neck and near my ear while I ran my hands all over her body ravenously.

"Tell me," she purred in my ear.

"Mmm?" I mumbled into her.

"Tell me that you love me," she demanded sweetly at my neck. I pulled back and looked at her a little confused. I thought she didn't like when I said that?

"Say it," she ordered calmly as she bent lower to kiss my collarbone. At the touch of her lips, I'd do anything.

"I love you," I said before she planted her lips onto mine roughly. Our tongues played gently and I tried to savor every inch of her body. I suddenly remembered the uncomfortable feeling of my zipper below me when she lowered her hands to undo the button on my jeans.

I gripped her hips as she grinded against me slowly and pulled down my zipper. Is this happening? Are we really doing this? I pulled her body closer to mine and kissed her sloppily, both of us breathing unevenly when a knock on the window stopped my heart abruptly.

My stomach sank as I looked to the steamed up window to see an officer of the law shining a flashlight in on the car. She sat back against the steering wheel and crossed her arms over her chest. I tried to remain calm as I pressed the button to roll down the window.

"Good evening, officer," I said as if my zipper wasn't down, my shirt wasn't off, and there wasn't a practically naked girl sitting on my lap.

"It looks like it was, doesn't it?" He looked at us accusingly. Did he just check Jade out? What the hell? I reached across the seat and got my button down over shirt to give to her. She took it and held it to her body while looking in the opposite direction of the officer. "Do you kids know what time it is?"

"Uh 11:34 sir," I said after checking the dashboard.

"That's right, and curfew for minors is 10 pm sharp," he looked at us with his eyebrows raised.

"I'm sorry officer, we lost track of time."

"I bet you did," he said while staring at Jade's vacant expression. "You kids better run along home. I'll let you go with a warning, but don't let me catch you out here this late again."

"Thank you." I said as he walked away. I rolled the window back up and sat back in my seat, still heaving and out of breath.

Jade looked at me sort of stunned, and I wasn't sure if she would start yelling at me until she smiled and broke out in laughter. I followed her lead and laughed at the entire situation. Only we would get caught by someone every time we tried to do anything remotely sexual.

"This is ridiculous," she said when she stopped laughing. "We can't get away with anything!" she smiled sadly and traced her fingers along my abs.

"Tell me about it," I shook my head. "Our timing is always off…."

"Yeah," she agreed. "Whatever, we'll get it right sooner or later. Can I wear this?" She gestured to the plaid flannel I'd handed her earlier. When I nodded, she put it on properly and buttoned it to just barely cover her chest.

"I never thought it could look so good," I said honestly while running my hands up and down her thighs.

"Thanks," she smiled and leaned in to kiss me quickly before she climbed back into her seat and we took off, headed home.

Jade's POV

I awoke Saturday morning with a splitting headache but a wonderful memory from last night. Beck and I had really gotten carried away in the car, hadn't we? I don't know if it was the rush for performing or just the fact that we hadn't been alone like that in a little while, but I couldn't get enough of him.

I got dressed and ready for the day in a good mood with Beck on my mind. As if the universe had heard my thoughts, seconds after I finished my hair and makeup, my phone rang with a call from him.

"Hello?" I said smiling.

"Hi," he said it normally but I could tell he was wearing that goofy smile. "How did you sleep?"

"Mmm I've had better nights," I said, remembering the nights he laid beside me. "You?"

"I had some pretty awesome dreams," he chuckled at his own words. "But I'm sorry to hear about your night…so about this party tonight?"

I'd almost forgotten about 'my' party tonight until Kris texted me last night asking me to go help decorate with him and Jeremy today. Speaking of, he should be here any minute.

"What about it?" I asked nervously. "Don't tell me you're bailing?" My initial skepticism about having Beck and Kris in the same room had turned into complete optimism that Beck was going to be there period.

"No, no, I'm just…gonna be a bit late is all."

"Oh, why?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.

"My parents are making me take Hannah trick or treating," he sighed. "I know, I know, it's lame, but it's kind of a tradition so yeah."

"Beck that's not lame, it's cool how much you love your sister." And it was crazy how persuasive that sister could be.

"Oh," he sounded surprised. "Great. Well yeah I just thought I'd let you know that I might be late…you know, in case you decided to look for me or something."

"Hah," I joked. "I think I'll manage."

"You never know…"

"Goodbye Beck." I said after hearing Kris' familiar car horn from outside.

"Bye."

I laughed to myself as I walked out my front door and into Kris' car. I'd almost forgotten that I was supposed to be mad at him for ditching me last night until he handed me what looked like a two dozen red roses.

"Oh," was all I said when he put them in my hands.

"I'm sorry about last night, babe," He looked to me sincerely. "But I promise, tonight will make up for it."

"Its fine," I brushed it off. It's not like that was the first time he stood me up, and it probably wouldn't be the last. "Thanks for the roses." I smiled thinking of the fun I'd have cutting them up later.

"Great," he leaned over to peck my lips and started driving to his house.

"Hey, did you pick up that costume I asked you for yesterday?" I questioned. Now if he forgot that, then I'd be mad.

"Yeah, yeah it's back here," he said as he reached into the backseat and handed me a square plastic bag with visible green material.

"What do you need that for again?" he looked at me questioningly.

"I told you, I promised Cat I'd take her trick or treating before the party and this is what I wanted to be." I lied through my teeth.

"Wait so you're gonna be late to your own party?" He didn't even bother hearing the lie; he was worried about the party. Typical Kris.

"Just a little. Besides, no one cool shows up till later, right?"

"Right…" he started to bend with my logic.

"So I'll just be fashionably late then," I smiled.

"I guess," he seemed satisfied with my explanation and went on to talk about the new DJ he'd hired for the party.

When I got to his house, we began decorating the entire mansion so it looked like an old haunted palace. Jeremy showed up a little while after and joined us in added creepy skeletons, axe murderers, ghosts, and fake spider webs all around.

At about 6pm, I left Kris' place and went back to mine to get ready. I put on my first costume of the night and stashed my vampire outfit and teeth in my purse. I checked my reflection quickly and bolted out the door.

I drove straight to Beck's house with butterflies fluttering in my stomach erratically. I pulled into his driveway next to his RV to see his lights were out. He better still be here, Hannah was supposed to stall till I got here.

I walked to his front door lightly in my black Oxfords and rang the doorbell. I prayed that his mother or father wouldn't answer and thanked God when he opened the door slowly. He looked shocked as I imagined and looked me up and down slowly.

"J-Jade?" he stuttered as if I was a hallucination.

"Hey," I smirked and put a hand on my hip, posing a little.

"You're—you're….Peter Pan," he smiled and continued looking surprised.

"And you're…?" I couldn't tell, but he was wearing a loose white long sleeve with a red sash around his abs and tight black jeans.

"Captain Hook," he said, raising his hand to show me a plastic hook. "How? How did you? What the?" he said as he let me inside.

"Hannah told me," I gave away. "At the soccer game."

"Ahh…" he understood. "So this is your doing?" He looked to Hannah who was standing in front of their mother on the couch, getting her hair done.

"Heeheehee," she giggled, reminding me of Cat, and nodded.

"Hannah hold still," their mom said. "Hello Jade, it's lovely to see you."

"Thanks, you too," I said. How long did we have to go on with fake pleasantries? I hated them.

"I wanted to be Wendy, see?" She pulled the sides of her light blue dress up to show me.

"Uh huh, you look just like her," With her light brown hair, she really did.

"But I needed a Peter Pan! And Jade said yes!" She beamed at Beck, who just shook his head and smiled. "And she's a really pretty Peter Pan!"

"Yes, she is," Beck said, looking at me. I looked back at him, and remembered the way his body felt under mine yesterday. I wondered if he was picturing the same moment because he was staring back at me with a glazed look in his eyes.

"There, all done!" Beck's mother's voice snapped us back to reality. "Jimmy! Get in here! Bring the camera!" she called to another room.

"Coming!" His father's voice boomed from somewhere else. He entered the room and greeted me happily as they ushered Hannah, Beck, and I together to take pictures. Normally I hated this kind of thing, and would've said so, but I didn't want to upset Hannah. Not when she looked so happy.

"Wait!" Hannah said when her father started turning off the camera.

"What for?" Their mother asked. "It's already going to get dark."

"I want the pictures to be complete!" She pouted. "Just like in the movie, I have Peter Pan and Captain Hook, but we have to wait for Tinkerbell!"

Tinkerbell?

"What do you mean sweetie?" Their mother asked curiously as the doorbell rang and the night took a turn for the worse.

Beck's father opened the door and in walked Beck's ex girlfriend and Hannah's slutty version of Tinkerbell.

"Hi!" Ally squealed to Beck's family as they all greeted each other happily.

"Oh Ally!" his mother sounded so pleased. "It's wonderful to see you, dear. And don't you look just darling!"

They hugged and I fought my urge to throw up. What the hell was she doing here? Doesn't she know how to break up with a guy? You're not supposed to just show up at his house out of nowhere!

"Hey Hannah!" She said as she hugged the little Wendy. "Oh my gosh, you look so cute! Hi Beck…" her gaze lingered on him while he waved awkwardly to her. "Jade? What are you doing here?" she looked at me puzzled and I remembered that Beck and I were 'just friends'.

"I invited her!" Hannah saved the day. "She's Peter Pan! Doesn't she look pretty?"

"Mmm hmm yeah she does," Ally replied sounding sincere, but she was giving me an odd look. Like she did not want me to be here.

"Well, we better get going," Beck said, breaking the silence. After a few more pictures and awkward small talk mostly about Ally's life since their break up, we finally left to trick or treat.

We walked in silence for the first few minutes till we got to the first house with its lights on, and Hannah spoke.

"Beck, give me the bag!" she said, in a hurry to get her treats. Beck pulled out a few Halloween decorated plastic bags and gave one to Hannah. He offered one to Ally, who laughed as if that was funny, and then gave one to me.

"What? I want free candy," I said when he and Ally gave me a look. We all accompanied Hannah to retrieve the candy and repeated this process for about an hour.

This was so much less fun than I thought it would be. I thought at least, Beck and I would get to talk, but Ally made that impossible. She spent the whole night practically retelling every detail of her and Beck's relationship.

"And remember the time we stopped at this tree to talk?" she said as we passed a random tree. Was she serious? Beck had stopped responding to her a long time ago, but she still went on. "And you told me about that test you had in Bio and I—,"

"Oh my gosh, Beck! Remember that time you breathed in oxygen at that place by that wall next to that streetlight?!" I couldn't hold back my sarcasm anymore, and mocked her, making Beck stifle a laugh and Ally shoot me a dirty look.

"Well!" She huffed and crossed her arms.

"Ally, she was just kidding," Beck apologized for me, but was still trying not to laugh.

"Whatever," Ally pouted. "She just doesn't understand what it's like to have such vivid memories of being with someone you love."

"Excuse me?" I started. "You and Beck were together for 6 months, Kris and I have been together for almost 3 years."

"Yeah, well then I guess you're just too cold to cherish the memories," she looked away and I wanted to stab her with my scissors, but Beck was between us.

"Oh yeah well I guess you—,"

"Hey, look, Hannah! Another house!" Beck interrupted me and gave me a stern look. We argued with our expressions and I gave in, staying silent.

The four of us walked in silence the rest of the way back to Beck's house and I split from them as soon as we were there. I got into my car and drove away as fast as I could. I can't believe I let that little bitch talk to me like that. And I can't believe Beck let her. Whatever. Tonight's my party and I can do what I want to.

Beck's POV

After the horrible night of trick or treating, I couldn't shake Ally. She'd decided that I was going to drive her to Jade's party and I didn't have a good reason to say no.

I tried texting Jade, but she wasn't responding. I knew she was pissed about what Ally said, but it's not like there was anything I could do about it. I mean, not without making it obvious there was something going on between us.

Instead, I acted casual as Ally and I got in my truck ready to go. I'd dressed back in normal clothes, but she kept her slinky costume on.

"Beck?" She said as I backed out of my driveway. I wonder if Jade is at the party already?

"Yeah?"

"Why didn't you show up to Tori's house yesterday?" Oh shit, when Jade asked me to leave with her, I didn't think to tell Ally.

"Oh I uh felt sick, went home. Sorry I forgot to tell you," I shrugged.

"Oh…" she nodded. "And…Jade took you home?"

"What? Why would you ask that?" I said probably too quickly. Ally and I had been together for 6 months; did she know me well enough to tell when I was lying?

"I saw you," she said, stopping my heart.

"You…saw me what?" I decided to play dumb.

"I saw you get in her car, and you guys drove off," she was staring at me from the passenger's seat but I stayed focused on the road.

"Oh, yeah she dropped me off," Friends did that, right?

"Mmmhmm," I saw her nod from the corner of my eye. "Beck, do you like her?"

"What? Yeah I guess, don't we all?"

"No, I mean…do you like like her?"

"What? No, we're just friends," I put my acting skills to work. "I told you Ally, I don't want to be in a relationship right now. With anyone."

"Yeah I know," she paused. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything."

"It's fine." She believed me?

"I just…miss you."

"I'm sorry." I didn't know what else to say, but she didn't respond and I was grateful when we finally arrived at Kris' house.

His place was just as big as Jade's and had cars lined up around the block. There were a bunch of people hanging out on the lawn, and even more inside his huge living room. I scanned the crowd for Jade, while Ally went to look for Cat and Tori.

I walked around for about half an hour until I spotted her leaning against a wall facing the dance floor, looking bored. As the speakers boomed with a song I recognized, I got an idea and approached her swiftly.

"Hey!" I said over the music. "Dance with me!"

"What?" she shrugged at me like she didn't hear me. Instead of repeating myself, I took her hands and pulled her towards the crowd of gyrating bodies.

"Beck, no!" She shook her head and started to pull away. I gave her my best puppy dog eyes until she sighed and gave in. The slow beat of Usher's "U Got it Bad" blasted through the speakers as I pulled her close to me.

We swayed to the beat, completely in sync, and I felt her rest her cheek on my chest. I lowered my head to rest on her collarbone and breathed in her scent. The song seemed to fit perfectly to my feelings as I realized "Everything that used to matter, don't matter no more. Like my money, all my cars; you can have it all." I'd give up anything to be with her. At my favorite line, I leaned to whisper in her ear.

"I'm your man, you're my girl. I'm gonna tell it to the whole wide world." I said so only she could hear. I felt her laugh under my touch and look up at me. I could feel myself leaning in closer and closer to her lips like gravity was pushing us together, but stopped at Kris' loud voice.

"What tha fuck is this?!" He shouted a few feet away from us, surrounded by a few of his friends.

"Kris," Jade said, startled as she untangled herself from my hold and stepped closer to him.

"Why are you letting this fag feel you up?!" He yelled at her, he sounded drunk because his speech was slurred.

"What did you just call me?" I stepped up to him, Jade in between us. This asshole might be her boyfriend, but that doesn't give him free reign over me.

"You heard me!" He pushed me with one hand. "Stay away from my girl!"

As a crowd of people began to surround us, Jade pushed her way further between us, trying to separate us.

"Kris, relax!" She said up to him, with a hand on his chest. "We were just dancing!"

"No, JJ! This asshole thinks he can come into MY house, put his hands on MY girl and get away with it?"

"What the hell? Kick his ass, Kris!" One of his idiot friends said from behind him. On my left I saw Andre, Robbie, Tori, Cat, and Ally join the crowd, but my focus was on this moron.

"I'm the asshole?" I called to him. "You couldn't even be bothered to go to 'your girl's' first show last night!"

"Now you're telling me how to treat MY girlfriend?" He stepped forward, pushing Jade a little closer while she seemed to be trying to force him back.

"Someone should." I retorted.

"Trust me, she's satisfied," he said like the douche bag he was.

"Aww yeah!" Another one of his friends said, and I couldn't even begin to see what Jade saw in this guy.

"Trust ME," I brought his attention back to me. "She's not."

"Ohhhh," the crowd of teenagers jeered.

"You're acting like you need to be taught a lesson," he said as he pounded his fist into his palm.

"Fight fight fight!" the audience chanted.

"Kris, calm down," Jade was trying to say to him. "Let's just go outside, okay?!"

"What the fuck?" He said, looking down at her for a second. "Don't tell me what to do, bitch!"

With one swift movement of his arm he shoved her aside, making her fall to the ground, and I lost it. I punch him as hard as I could and he staggered back. He rebounded quickly though and came back up to hit me once on the cheek and once in my gut.

Before I could get another shot in, Andre and Robbie were pulling me back, and so were his friends to him. I fought their grip on me, wanting nothing more than to beat his face in.

His friends let him go and followed him as he pull Jade's arm out the door, making the crowds excitement die down. What the hell, where was he taking her?

I wriggled out of Andre and Robbie's hold and went out the front door where they had just gone. I saw two of his friends get in the back of his corvette and him go to stand in the driver's doorway, Jade headed for the passenger's.

"Jade!" I called to her, making her stop and turn to me. The gang followed me outside and gathered a few feet behind me. "Don't go."

She looked at me as if there was nothing she could do and shook her head. No way is she going with him.

"Jade, come on!" I stepped closer to her. "Don't get in the car, he's drunk. Stay!"

"Get in the fucking car, Jade!" Kris called from his seat, the car already started.

"I'll be fine," she said quickly. "I'll see you later." She waved and I just stood there and watched her get in the car.

Before taking off, Kris shot me one last cocky smirk to show who had won this fight. He raced out of the driveway, leaving me with my misery all alone.
