"TORI!" Beck yelled. He sprinted to the burning building, but alas, his feet failed to work correctly as his knees wobbled and shook.

André quickly caught up to him. "Beck! Stop it! You're only thinking about her! Think about yourself! That building is burning and dangerous! And when did you become so interested in Tori?"

"Um…well…" Beck stuttered.

"Oh my god. You like Tori." André accused.

"Well…" Beck replied. "Maybe a little." Understatement of the century, he thought to himself.

"I understand you're upset. But just think for a second. She might just be somewhere else around the school."

"But what if she's not?" Beck asked.

Just then, the sound of sirens and the blur of flashing lights snapped the two out of their conversation. André gestured toward the fire trucks and ambulances. "Wherever she is, she's safe now."

…

When Tori heard the alarm, she ran as fast as she could. As a child, she had always been afraid of shrill or sudden sounds. However, she was not the only one running. The herd of students was practically a stampede. Suddenly, she heard a snap as the 6-inch heel on her Prada Cadillac stilettos cracked and forced her to tumble over. Her body hit the polished tile as students rushed out the door. Unable to get up, Tori avoided others' stiletto heels similar to her own and waited for the crowd to die down. When it did, she removed her heels. She was suddenly aware of a searing pain in her ankle. She attempted to rise but to no avail. Tori feared her ankle had been broken or shattered. But, worse, she could no longer get up or even move. She was stuck here. And then she saw the flames. They were large and threatening and bright. Behind her, a chunk of ceiling collapsed. The same was happening all around her. She tried to cry for help but there was no one to hear her screams and shrieks. She thought of Beck and a tear rolled her cheek. She had thought he was the one. And he might have actually liked her. Now she would never know. Now, she was stuck here and a kiss was all that would ever exist between them. And she would never graduate from high school. Or get into college. Or even hear her own song on the radio, the number one on her bucket list. It was all going to end. She could feel her soul, heart, will, and self slowly but slowly slipping away as the lights seemed to leave her eyes.

…

Jade had never liked doctors. Her dad wanted her to be a doctor. Jade actually thought she wouldn't mind it too terribly much. After all, it was nice to see others in pain. But having them actually poke and prod her body all because of what they called "surgery"…well, she was reminded of why she refused to succumb to the suggested career. It was her life. Not his.

She missed being with her friends. She missed Beck. Although she wouldn't admit it, Jade really did miss Beck. She missed the way he would put up with her complaining and the way he had accepted her as she was. Stubborn, goth Jade West with no one to love or appreciate her. He was her first love, the one she was never going to forget. But Jade realized the problems in their relationship long ago. Time would go by and no one would remember her. But Beck was the kind of guy that the people who never spoke to him would remember as the popular kid. So, therefore, every person he met, Jade saw as a threat to their relationship. Granted, some more than others. She didn't trust anyone, and as everyone knows, friendships are built on mutual trust. She shut everyone out, even more than before. Only after she and Beck dated did she realize-and care about- what the world saw her as. An overprotective and jealous emo freak. She didn't like it. She still didn't like Tori, but she had good reason. Her relationship with Beck had been fairly similar to a relationship between the high school football captain and the nerd who sat by herself at lunch. Tori and Beck was like the football captain and the head cheerleader. Jade had liked to think that she had brought some 'spice' into Beck's life. She had never imagined that maybe, just maybe, he didn't need any spice. Maybe what he wanted was a fairly normal and typical relationship. And Tori could give him that, just what she couldn't. She wasn't worried about it until she met Tori. That look in her eyes…she obviously was head over heels for Beck. And since he kissed her during alphabet improv…maybe, just maybe…he liked her back. When Jade realized this, she wanted to go cry in a closet. But she was Jade West. If somebody she cared about died, she wouldn't cry about it. She would find a way to avenge it and keep her loved ones closer than ever. Of course, the only people that she cared about were her friends so the likeliness of this happening was low. So she was more protective, obsessive, whatever you'd like to call her aggressive feelings toward Beck. She made sure that people knew that she was armed and dangerous and when she was, she was frightening and scary. People would remember her. People would no longer doubt the infamous Jade West. Key word, infamous.

AN: Normally, I know that I put my authors' notes at the top. But I figured that you guys deserved a chapter beforehand. A long-awaited one. I was honestly really nervous about writing this chapter, because I was really just planning on stopping it at Tori's thing, but it wasn't as many words as I thought so I gave you guys some filler but mainly insight on Jade and her…obsession, although I doubt the word to be strong enough.

I also want to ask you guys a question. If you have an answer, you can PM me. If you're an anonymous reviewer, you can leave it in a review, but I would much prefer it in a PM. poseidon'sdaughter3 brought to my attention that this story might require a new title since "Detention" is kind of outdated. But you see, I'm really bad at titling things. Detention was literally the only thing I could think of when I wrote this story. So if you guys have any ideas, tell e!

I sincerely hope you liked this chapter. I also want you guys to know that from now on, I will be putting this story before my other one. You guys are amazing readers and deserve better.
