Talk

A couple of days had passed since I last spoke with Jade. Although if you had asked me then, I would have had no idea how long it had been since I talked to Jade. It could have been hours, days, weeks, months, I lost all concept of time after that talk. I had one last chance to spill my heart out and it was cut off by a stupid timed phone. I couldn't believe how stupid I had been. It seems like everything I had done led to a bigger mistake or regret. It all just kind of snowballed into this catastrophe. I was a normal guy with a normal life and now my family hated me, I was losing a girl that I loved and I had a criminal record. Talk about a train wreck.
Andre and I had just been released yesterday. We were both thinking the same thing: Jade's going to be gone. The thought was a depressing one and it left us without much to say to each other. So Andre went back to his family to take the heat. I, on the other hand, went back to the Shapiro family. Fortunately, Robbie had explained the whole situation to his family so they were more understanding. I wish my family had been. It would have made things a lot easier. Still, the Shapiros were very supportive and welcomed me back with open arms.
Now I was just lying on their couch. I was too tired and bummed out to get up. I wasn't entirely sure what day was going to be gone. For all I knew, she was already gone. I felt so powerless. Robbie came downstairs with a bowl of chicken soup. He pulled up a chair and sat by my couch side.
"Hey, how ya doin?" he asked me.
"Crappy..."
"So what are you going to do about Jade?"
"What can I do? She's going to be gone forever."
"You still have two days to make something happen. They just came back to gather the last of their things."
"What difference does it make? The last time I went over to make things right, all of this happened and now she's going to be gone. If I go over there, I'd probably kill her, which she'd probably prefer to those jackasses of parents but I still don't want to do that."
"You can't keep being down about it right now. You made progress, regardless of the results."
"Besides, shouldn't her boyfriend, Andre be stopping her?"
"Andre's family won't let him leave the house. He tried breaking out but his parents caught him and nailed him down."
"Shame."
Suddenly the doorbell rang. Robbie got up to get it. At the door were Cat and Tori. I could tell because they were talking rather loudly.
"Hey Robbie! Is Beck here?" asked Tori.
"Yeah, he's in the living room. He won't get off the couch," replied Robbie.
"Let us in then so we can talk to him! I missed him while he was in jail!" shouted Cat.
Geez, way to make me feel good...
Cat, Robbie and Tori all came into the living room.
"How ya doing?" asked Tori.
I replied with a weak, low groaning noise.
"Beck, we're really worried about you. You've got to either let Jade go or do something about it. This isn't healthy," said Cat.
"We're your friends, Beck. We care about you and just want you to be happy," said Robbie.
"Why didn't you guys go to give Andre this talk?" I asked.
"This is about you, not Andre," said Cat.
"Besides, Andre's parents wouldn't let us in to talk to him," added Tori.
"This conversation just went in a circle. Beck, you've got to talk to Jade while she's still here! Tell her the truth!" said Robbie.
"Then what do I do when she's gone?" I asked.
"It's better that you two leave on that note than spend the rest of your lives wondering what could have happened," said Cat.
"Jade wouldn't want your friendship to end on the note it did. And we know you wouldn't either," said Tori.
"Just talk to her. You'll feel better no matter which way it goes," said Robbie.
At this point there were too many voices for me to listen to. I was still confused but I knew all of the voices agreed that I should talk to Jade. I figured might as well, just so they would be quiet.
"Fine...I'll try to talk to her. But I want to go alone."
"Yay! Beck's going to talk to Jade!" shouted Cat.
I steadily got up off the couch. It took me a while to regain my bearings since I hadn't gotten off the couch since I got back from prison. But I steadily walked towards the door and made my way to Jade's house.I had no idea what would happen when I got there. I could get in another fight, another argument or even get killed. But I might as well try. Jade deserved the truth and that was what she was going to get.
What I didn't know at the time was what happened there would be the moment that would completely change my life.
Beck's going to give it one last shot. All his chips are going into the pot.
No replies this time, busy schedule, gotta run!
