She wasn't there when he woke up the next morning. Just like before, no note, no text… nothing. He ran his fingers through his hair and sat up, looking around his RV before realizing she'd left something behind.

Her bra.

And he put it where he usually did when she'd just leave things carelessly behind; in his dresser. The top drawer, where he kept all her things, and where she'd go to when she'd needed them and would spend the night.

He heard his phone go off and went to it, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He picked it up and read the message on the screen.

From Cat: Beck, have you seen Jade? She's not at school yet and I'm like, very worried about her. Let me know. Kay. Byeeeee!

From Beck:Sorry, Cat. I don't. But like you, I am very worried about her as well.

A moment later, his phone went off again.

From Cat: We all are.

He decided not to text back after that and got dressed. About half an hour later, he was in school, typing on his phone a quick text to his girlfriend, and not really paying attention where he was going. Not that it mattered since the hallways were pretty much empty now.

"No! No! Stop!" He heard and snapped his head up. "Stop it!"

He walked closer and closer to the yelling, praying that whoever it was wouldn't stop and kept going so he could help them. But as he go closer, he realized it wasn't something he was expecting. Feeling his stomach drop, he saw the familiar dark hair with blue streaks, fighting against something that seemed much bigger than her.

Oh shit. Jade.

They were in the janitor's closet, so he quickly walked up to it, and jiggled the doorknob and whatever was going on inside—stopped.

"Open the door!" He called, jiggling it again. "Now."

"B-Beck." He heard Jade stammer, and then the door suddenly opened and she shook her head, biting her bottom lip. He could see her eyes were puffy—swollen and red.

"Jade, what the hell is going on in there?"

She straightened up her black leather jacket, and ran her fingers through her hair. And then, just like that, she was back to her dark, mean self.

"Nothing, okay? Please leave."

"No. I heard you screaming for help... or at least screaming like you were getting hurt. Tell me what's going on… now. It's not a damn game anymore, Jade. It's your fucking life!"

She shook her head, laughing humorously as she looked down a moment and then back up, only to glare at him. "You have all wrong, Beck. So, so wrong."

"How?" He demanded, crossing her arms over his chest and glaring right back at her.

"I wasn't screaming… for like, help. I was… well, I'm sure you can figure it out. You and I have done it enough times, don't you think?"

And that moment, was when Jade felt her heart break all over again, and Beck realized what had just happened. He put his arms down by his side, and backed away, shaking his head as he did. Jade wishing with everything that he wouldn't leave her alone.

"I caught you fucking some guy. Just great." He snapped. "Okay, well, it was… it was nice talking to you Jade. See you in class… or whatever." He turned and walked away, disappointedly.

She then looked behind her for a moment, before shutting the door and angrily walking after him. She then grabbed his shoulder and forcefully pushing him against the lockers.

"You have no right to judge me, Beck. You and I are over. We have been for a while now."

"I understand that, Jade!" He yelled at her, rubbing his shoulder. "But it doesn't mean I want to know when you're fucking another guy!"

"He's not another guy!" Jade yelled, "He's my boyfriend! And you really have a lot to say, don't you? You have a girlfriend too!"

"Okay, Jade. First, he's not just your boyfriend to me, he's another guy! If you're fucking someone else who isn't me then it's another guy! Get it? And two, at least and unlike someone like well, you I don't go around fucking her in school where anyone could catch me… including my very jealous, insecure ex-girlfriend!"

He stared at her, hard and watched as her emotions on her face changed, and instead of being pissed off, she replaced with a more somber one; hurt. His face softened and he immediately regretted everything he'd just said. He reached for her hand, but she snapped it away from him, moving away from him.

"You said… everything you needed to." She managed to say. "You… you don't have to say anything more okay?"

And all Beck could do was watch helplessly as she walked away from him, without another word.

Later that night, the door flew open and Jade stood there, her arms crossed over her chest, she looked down, playing with the ends of her hair.

He lazily looked up, not really bothering to acknowledge her since she did this quite often. They fought, she said she wanted nothing to do with him and then they were back at the beginning again.

"Why are you here?" He finally asked her, his voice raspy.

"Because…" She trailed off. "I need you."

He sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Weren't you just pissed off at me earlier today?"

"Yes, and I still am."

"But…?"

She didn't say anything, just leaned her head against the wall, sniffling and hoping she didn't break down. She touched her wrist and rubbed it, feeling the bruise there and how tender it was.

"You're my best friend." She finally said, "Like I told you before, and I just… need the comfort of my best friend."

"Go to Cat." Beck shrugged. "She's your best friend, isn't she?"

She shook her head, "I meant you."

They both remained quiet for a few more minutes and Jade was just about ready to leave, when he spoke.

"Come here."

She did as he said and sat down on his bed as he sat up, leaning over he ran his fingers through his hair and looked at her.

He knew what she wanted; and she knew what he wanted too.

They stared at each other for a few more minutes, before she did what he pretty much expected her to do. She leaned forward, her hand on his cheek, and kissed him. He responded back, and then broke it. He stared at her, breathing hard, before he leaned in and kissed her again.

The game would never end. It didn't matter if one of them was pissed off at the other, or whatever. He now knew that regardless of how mad she was at him for whatever reason, she was still going to show up at his RV. Regardless of anything else that went on between them.

Laying down, he kissed her more, harder until he heard her moan, as his hands went up and down her sides. He could feel her getting more and more aroused as she had grinded her lower body against his, and bit down on his bottom lip.

They broke apart (needing some damn air) and just stared at each other.

"What about your girlfriend?" She asked him, for the first time since their game started, which actually surprised him.

"What about your boyfriend?" He shot back and she didn't answer. Not with words anyway, instead she just pressed her lips to his and that was it. The end of the conversation.

Just like it always would be.

He woke up the next morning surprised to see she was still there. Her hair was messed up, her make-up a bit ruined, but not enough to make her look trashy. And what surprised him even more was that she was awake and looking at him.

"Hey." He said, sitting up and she looked up at him, laying back down and getting more comfortable.

"Hey." She whispered back, pulling the covers up so she was warmer.

He looked at the clock on his phone and noticed it was 9:30am. Good thing it was Saturday or they'd be in trouble.

"Beck…" Jade whispered, "I—"

"I know." He said, "I understand."

"Do you really?" She asked him, "Because I feel like every time we do this, we're just back to where we were before… well, you know."

"Before we broke up?" He didn't mean to make his voice as loud as he did, but for some reason, what she said, sent him over the edge just a bit. She didn't flinch though and instead, looked at him, hurt in her eyes. "It's okay to say it Jade. We're broken up… and every single damn time you come over after we have a fight, we end up fucking and cheating on our relationships. If anyone found out, we'd be screwed."

"Oh." Jade said, in her deep, pissed off voice, sitting up. "So, now all we do is fuck right? Well, I seem to remember it being meaning something else entirely before."

"When. We. Were. Dating." Beck said, saying each word as though he was teaching a four year old. "We aren't together anymore!"

"You know, Beck. For someone who claims to have no secrets, you sure do have a lot of them." Jade spoke, getting out of the bed and putting her shirt on, along with her leggings and her leather jacket. She just threw her bra inside her handbag and turned around, her hands on her hips, she glared at him, tears in her eyes.

And to Beck, she'd never looked more beautiful.

"I don't have secrets."

"We both do, Beck." Jade said, her voice breaking as she tried to look anywhere but where he was. "And we're just too damn afraid to admit it."

"Admit what?"

"That…that…" She trailed off, struggling with what she wanted to say, she looked away, biting her lip, before looking back at him, straight at him, so he'd know she wasn't bluffing. "That we're still in love with each other."

Well, that took him by surprise. He didn't think she'd ever admit it in a million years, not with what's been going on between her and her boyfriend, which she still refuses to admit out loud about.

"And no matter what we do, we can't stop being in love with each other." She continued on, breaking him out of his thoughts. "And that's why your girlfriend and my boyfriend are so damn insecure about us being friends. Because according to him, you can't be friends with your ex."

"That's… that's not entirely true." Beck said quietly, "I'm still friends with Cat… close friends, in fact."

"She's different." Jade said, "I don't know why or how, but she is."

"And you're still friends with your first boyfriend." Beck pointed out, but she just rolled her eyes.

"Not really, I hardly speak to him anymore."

"Whatever, you get my point, Jade. Ex's can be friends, you know. It still is very possible."

"Yeah… but, like Mark says…" She trailed off, going to the door, and opening it, making Beck wish she'd just stay with him. "Not if you're in love with them."

"Don't go." He finally managed to say. "Just stay here… with me, today. Please? And I can show you we can still be friends. We'll just start over, okay? From this moment on, we're just friends… nothing more, nothing less."

"But then all our feelings will come back again, Beck! I'm still in love with you! And you're still in love with me! We have proof of that from the activities that went on last night and this morning when I woke up next to you! We can't be friends… okay? It's just…" She broke off again, tears now streaming down her cheeks. "It's just too hard."

"That's because you're making it that way." Beck said.

"Oh yeah? Then what about what you said at school yesterday? Do you think I'm just supposed to let it go? You basically called me a slut."

"Because you were fucking well, loudly in school!" Beck argued back, standing up now, and going over to her. "But I didn't mean to make you sound like a slut. I was just…"

"Jealous?" Jade filled in, and he just looked at her. "Yeah, that's what I figured."

"Says you?" He let out a laugh, a small one, but a laugh nonetheless. The situation was just so humorous to him. "You used to get mad anytime a girl even looked at me."

He watched as she thought it over, and then she laughed with him. "Yeah, you're right. I did. I guess I'm in no place to judge am I?"

He shook his head, "No, I guess not."

Silence fell in between them again, but this time it was comfortable and not awkward. A few minutes later, Beck held his hand out to her; she just looked up at him, confused.

"So, will you come inside and watch a movie with me… friend?" He asked her, and she smiled, taking his hand, she nodded.

"Okay." She said, "But no funny business."

"Riiiiight." Beck nodded, "Because that's totally going to work." He teased, and she rolled her eyes. "We'll just see where this takes us okay? So, to clarify, we're starting over?"

She nodded. "Yeah."

"And what happens if we fall in love with each other… even more?"

She shrugged, "Guess, we'll just have to see what happens. I can't let you go, and I know you can't let me go, so for now we'll just… take it as it goes."

He sat down on his bed, leaning against the RV wall, while Jade put her bag down, and took her jacket off. She surprised him by laying in between his legs, her back to his, and wrapped his arms around her waist. He picked up the remote and turned it to some random channel that was playing a movie.

"Friends don't do this." Beck said, gesturing to how they were seated.

"No…" Jade agreed. "But best friends who know each other better than anyone else in the world do."

She laid her head on his shoulder and he rested his chin on the top. He held her tighter against him, causing Jade to smile.

She never felt more protected than she did then. With Beck, she always was, and she knew that no matter what, she always would be.

Cat was humming to herself along with the song that was playing, while applying mascara on her eyes for when she was going to see Robbie later, when her phone went off. She turned down her music and picked it up. She frowned when seeing the unfamiliar number, but decided to answer it anyway.

"Hello?"

"Cat? Hello? Are you there?" The connection was a bit shitty, but she tried to make out what the person on the other end was saying.

"Who is this?" She demanded, a bit scared now as she couldn't recognize the voice.

"It's…M-Mark."

She almost dropped her phone, "H-how do you have my number?"

"Nevermind that, have you seen Jade? Or heard from her?"

Cat blinked, a bit freaked out. "N-no." She whispered, "I-I haven't. Uhm, but maybe she's at home? Sick?" She heard her phone beep, and looked at the screen to see Jade had just texted her.

Hey, I'm at Beck's. Don't worry about me, we're watching a movie and just hanging out. Love you! Xoxo.

Well that was out of the blue.

"H…hello? Cat?" His voice came in much clearer. "Are you still there?"

"Yes."

"Good, then where is Jade?"

"I just told you, I don't know!" She started to panic. She knew Mark was a dangerous person, she didn't know him that well, but from one of her friends (who had dated him previously), she knew he wasn't a good guy. But anytime she'd try to tell Jade or even bring him up, she refused to listen. Which only in turn caused Cat to be a bit more wary and afraid of him.

"I know you know." He said, "But fine, if you won't tell me then…go to hell. I'll find out if you're both hiding something from me or not."

What? Who said 'go to hell' in a phone conversation? She was so confused and freaked out.

"I really don't, Mark." She finally managed to say, "Oh, and fuck you." And with that, she hung up the phone. She blocked his number so he couldn't call her again and then dropped her phone on the soft rug. She sunk down to the ground, trying to calm down. Her phone went off again, and she let out a scream, hoping to god it wasn't him.

But in her panicked state, she was unable to realize it wasn't him since she'd already blocked him.

It was Robbie.

"Robbie!" She yelled into the phone, "P-please come here! I need you!" And with that she started to cry.

"Okay, I'm on my way. Just calm down okay? I'll be there in less than five minutes." She put her hand over her mouth and nodded, hanging up the phone.

She could wait. It was all she could do from this point on.

Wait for Robbie to come help her...

And wait for Jade to realize what a douchebag her boyfriend really was and how dangerous he was about to be. Either that or she was finally going to get her to listen.

But regardless, as patiently as she could, she'd wait.

She had no choice anymore.

Sooo yeahhh… I don't know. Now you're starting to see how much of a possessive freak Mark is. Ohhh shit.

Anyway, more soon… if you're still interested. I know I am.

Oh, and ps. I have a twitter: it's fckyeahari. Coincidentally enough, my name is Ariana :) For real though, when I found out who played Cat when I first started watching this show, I screamed, lol.

Fun fact: I have my current (and first, since I've never had one) girl crush. Yup, it's on Liz Gillies. All I have to say is, that girl is beautiful.

Well, I hope you enjoyed it! Review and let me know! Xoxo.
