Thanks, guys! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far and I know you guys can't wait to see what happens. To um, Queen of the Waterfalls, you're right because Sam would be 21. The only thing we can think of is that Sam was caught when she was 16-17 and is still in juvy but I don't think that would make sense. =P Anyways, here it is! The new chapter! I own nothing except Jackson! The songs in here, I do not own. They are owned by their artists/writers. Not me.

Jade walked into Karaoke Dokie with a petite red-head at her heels. From across the place, two girls (one with blonde hair and the other with brown hair) glared at them. Jade stuck her tongue out and sat at a table in the back of the place. An African-American woman walked up and took their orders. Jade looked towards the stage. Some guy nerd was poorly singing "Moves Like Jagger" with a nerd girl. She cringed and turned to the waitress, ordering a water and the wings. Cat ordered a diet Coke. The waitress nodded and hurried away. Jade sneered at the two nerds and whispered something to Cat. Cat giggled and whispered back to Jade. While they waited for their wings, Jade stood up and grabbed Cat's hand. Then they walked over to the DJ. The man with the dark hair looked at them and smiled. He knew who they were. They came in frequently.

"Jade! Cat! What would you fine ladies like to sing today?" Jade smiled and looked at Cat. Cat said 'Give It Up". "Alright then! I can have you guys up right after this!" the DJ exclaimed. Jade and Cat beamed, standing by him and prepping themselves to sing. Meanwhile, they didn't see two people walk in. A dejected man with long fluffy dark hair wearing a plaid shirt walked in. A young woman with long brown hair hung on his arm. They sat at a table right in front of the stage. They didn't even notice Jade and Cat by the DJ booth. When the waitress came to take their drink order, Beck took a lemonade and Tori had an iced tea. He sat there, quietly, rubbing his head every now and then. Tori put a hand on his strong muscle but he turned away.

"I swear, every casting guy does this to me. It's no fair! It's not my fault! They'll let me have dumb non-speaking things and they say that I'd be great for the main roles but the 'publicity.'" Beck said, using air quotes over publicity. Tori just rubbed Beck's arm and consoled him like any good girlfriend would do. "My life is ruined because of Jade West and Andre Harris." Beck said angrily, ripping the straw wrapper viciously and throwing the shreds on the table. The DJ's microphone roared from in front of them.

"That was Cory Boxx and Norma Ryan with Moves Like Jagger! Now, with Give It Up, please give it up for Jade West and Cat Valentine!" Beck nearly choked on his lemonade while Tori whirled around to face the stage. Sure enough, the Wicked Witch of the West and Cat were up there on stage. They walked around flirtily, staring at the guys. When Jade saw Beck and Tori straight in the front, she nudged Cat and pointed subtlely. Cat understood the message. As the music started up, both Jade and Cat strode down the stage towards them. Jade started singing first. When her voice reached Beck's ears, it brought him back. Before Jackson's birth. Before the lawsuit. Before the rejections. Before the breakup. When they were just innocent high-schoolers who understood and loved each other.

Someday I'll let you in, treat you right. Drive you out of your mind. Oooh!

That sexy voice. Beck remembered that voice. He loved that voice. Now that he thought about it, he did think Jade was a better singer than Tori. Jade may have been mean, cold, heartless, but she was more talented than Tori. Cat picked up the next verse and Beck admired the reunited duo.

You never met a chick like me. Burn so bright, I'm gonna make you blind.

Beck was always surprised when Cat sang. She had such a good voice. It was so unlike how she normally acted around her friends and family. Tori sat back in her chair and sipped her iced tea nervously. Now the two sang, standing on stage, dancing around flirtily. Wolf whistles emanated from hormonal guys in the audience. Beck felt his high-school jealousy creeping back into him. He wanted to get up and knock every one of those guys out. Of course, he wasn't Jade's boyfriend anymore. He was Tori's. Jade was single. She could do what she wanted...

Always want what you can't have. Is it so bad when you don't get what you wanted? Make you feel good as I whip you into shape, yeah boy. Let's get it started. Give it up! You can't win 'cause I know where you've been. Such a shame. You don't put up a fight. That's a game that we play. At the end of the night, it's the same old story but you never get it right. Give it up!

After those lyrics, Beck slipped into a trance. As he watched Jade's body sway back and forth. As he watched her luscious lips form every word perfectly and on-key. As he listened to the singing like a lullaby. He drifted back to his high school days. He loved every second of it. Beck came back to reality when he was rudely hit on the shoulder. By Tori. "Beck?" she called testily. "Are you going to eat some of these wings?" she asked. He nodded and looked to the stage. Jade and Cat had just finished singing and they were climbing off stage. As Beck met Jade's eyes, she gazed seductively at him and then walked towards the back. Beck followed her eyes. Tori hit him on the shoulder again. "Beck? Are you even listening?" she asked. "I was talking to you about my latest ordeal with Trina." she said. Beck got up and finished the wing in his hand.

"I'll-I'll be right back. I feel like singing a song." he said, getting up and walking to the DJ booth.

Jade was watching him. She knew he was watching her and she enjoyed every second of it. It was a strange watching through. Not like he usually watches her. The passion in his eyes. It brought her back to high school days. No. No. I can't think like this. Think of all the things he's done to me. Jade thought. He got up. At first, the one small romantic in Jade's heart thought he was going to speak to her. But then he turned and spoke to the DJ. He must want to sing a song. Jade thought. To dedicate it to Vega, no doubt. She spat. As Beck stepped up on stage, she didn't know what to think. She vaguely recognized the music as it played. That's when it clicked. Their song. But no. It couldn't be. Beck looked towards her.

"I'd like to dedicate this song to..." he trailed nervously. Jade saw Vega's face light up with half blush half glee. "Jade West." he said thoughtfully. Jade almost fell out of her chair. The glare that Vega gave her wasn't much better either. Beck smirked a little and began to sing: Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx.

Oceans apart. Day after day

And I slowly go insane.

I hear you voice on the line

But it doesn't stop the pain.

If I see you next to never

How can we say forever?

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you

Whatever it takes

Or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you.

I took for granted, all the times

That I thought would last somehow

I hear the laughter, I taste the tears

But I can't get near you now

Oh can't you see it, baby?

You got me going crazy.

Jade was shocked when the song finally ended. It seemed so long. When he finished, he looked straight into Jade's eyes. "I'm sorry. I promise to be a better man. A better boyfriend. A better father." he said. Jade just stared dumbly. Cat looked at her, anticipating what Jade would do. Tori was still glaring at Jade. Finally Jade stood up. The crowd clapped, whistled and cheered. Jade ran forward. But she didn't run into Beck's arms like the fairytale ending. She pursed her lips at Beck and ran out of the karaoke bar. "Jade!" yelled Beck. Tori couldn't believe that Beck had done such a thing. She was willing to accept him back if he just apologized and recanted what he did. Instead, Beck dropped the microphone and ran out of the bar, after Jade.

Did you guys enjoy this sweet Bade moment? You won't know what happens until the next chapter though. xD Sorry this is short but I just wanted to get this up.
