Jade was standing on the side of the road at an intersection holding her phone in her hand.

To: Beck

where are you?

She hated waiting for him. Actually, she just hated waiting. She looked up as she heard cars approaching the intersection. A red truck that looked a lot like Beck's was approaching a green light, while a black car was speeding towards the intersection from the opposite direction. Their head was down, and from where Jade was standing, it looked like they were texting on their phone. She watched in slow-motion as the black car collided head on with the truck. She watch the person in the truck as they were jerked around, their face hitting the airbag. With a blur of long brown hair, Jade realized what she was seeing.

"Beck!" She shouted this, but no sound came out. She ran towards the accident, but no matter how hard she tried, she never left her spot on the corner.

Jade snapped up in a cold sweat. It was just a dream. She told herself. Not a dream. A nightmare. She was breathing heavy, and she clutched the blanket close to her chest.

"Jade?" A groggy voice called her name from a few feet away. "Are you okay?"

With a shaky breath, she replied. "Yeah. Just a dream." She tried to settle back down, but all she could do was stare at the ceiling, too scared to close her eyes.

This happened for the next two nights. Every night, what happened was a little bit different, but they all revolved around Beck and she was never able to make it to him. Every night, she told Beck she was fine. Today was Thursday. Beck made it through his fourth day of school, and tomorrow they were hanging out at Tori's after school.

Jade settled into her make-shift bed on the couch. She turned the last light out, and they both fell asleep. Sure enough, Jade woke up screaming a few hours later.

"Jade." His tone was no longer questioning. She saw him sit up with his weight resting on his elbows. "Would it help if you slept with me?" Beck asked this softly, his voice tired.

She wanted to fight him, tell her she didn't need help, but she really wanted to sleep in a bed. And the thought of being beside him sounded really nice at the moment. She got up out of the covers and he listened to the noise of her feet on the floor. He looked over as she released the pillows she had clutched to her chest and set them on her side of the bed and moved the covers back so she could get under them.

"Go to sleep." Beck whispered.

"I can't." Her voice sounded vulnerable, and she didn't like it.

She felt an arm pull her closer, and she didn't hesitate to nuzzle her face into his neck. "We should go shopping tomorrow." Beck suggested. "We're running low on cereal, soup, and macaroni." Jade was too tired to laugh, but she smiled. She felt Beck's chest rise and fall as she chuckled to himself. "Go to sleep." He repeated, stroking her hair a bit.

Jade awoke the next morning to her alarm. She was a bit disoriented as she got to her feet. She then remembered that she slept in the bed. Beck was finishing his cereal silently as she went to get dressed in the bathroom. Even when they met in the middle of the RV, Beck said nothing, making Jade rather irritated. Deciding not to give in, she promised herself she would not be the first one to speak and poured a mug of coffee in silence, gulping it down before they left for school. She tried to figure out what his deal was, but eventually gave up when her want for coffee became more important. She had only had one cup this morning and wanted to hit up the Grub Truck for some more before classes started. Without a word, she left Beck with their 'friends' and headed on her way to fulfill her coffee addiction.

"Are you two fighting already?" Tori groaned.

"No. Why would you think that?" Beck defended.

Andre cut in. "Probably because you two haven't said a word to each other or even made eye contact yet today."

Of course Cat had to speak up. "I bet they're playing the silent game. Jade loves to play it with me. She's really good." Everyone played along, though it was easy to assume why Jade actually liked to play the silent game with her.

The bell rang and Beck let out a thankful sigh, not wanting to discuss the topic any further.

Beck was on his way to the Asphalt Cafe for lunch. He only had to get through three more classes before he could officially say that he made it through his first week back. In all honesty, it wasn't bad. All he really had to do was sit around and pay attention. Some of the stuff actually made sense to him. He walked to the Grub Truck and struck up a polite conversation with who he now knew as Festus. "Hello Buddy, what would you like to be eating today?"

"What'dya got?" Beck asked, squinting his eyes as he looked up into the sun while he tried to look at the man leaning out of the window.

"I've got the burrito, the spaghetti, the pizza, the-"

"I'll have a burrito."

"I wasn't finished!" Festus shouted angrily.

"Sorry!" Beck held his hands up in a sign of peace and let him finish.

"And I've got the salad. What would you be liking?"

"I'll have a burrito." Beck repeated.

"I be right back." With that, Festus disappeared and reappeared moments later with a cardboard bowl with a burrito, which he exchanged with Beck for money. "Bye Buddy!" Festus called out happily. Beck only shook his head as he went to the table with the can of lemonade he had purchased from a vending machine before getting in line. The rest of the group was already there and there was an open seat beside Jade.

"Whatcha got there?" He asked as he sat down. When she glared at him, he felt a bit guilty. When Jade caught Tori and Andre staring at them, she gave up her little game.

"Pizza and the largest cup of coffee Festus would give me." She took a bite out of the triangular slice and set it back on her plate. She couldn't help but notice how close Beck sat to her, considering he ignored her most of the day.

"So how's 5:30 for everybody? We'll order a pizza and-" Tori began before being cut off.

"No you won't."

"What?" Tori asked form across the table.

"You heard me." Jade said, eyes towards the perky brunette.

"But why can't I-" Tori was utterly confused.

Jade sighed loudly, clearly frustrated and wasting her time. "I'm eating pizza for lunch. I don't want it for dinner."

Tori was quiet for a minute, taking it in. "Okay." She nodded her head. "Okay, we won't have pizza. She turned to look at Jade. "Jade, what would you like for dinner."

"I don't know." Jade waved her hand absent-mindedly as she ate her pizza, her eyes ignoring Tori.

It was Tori's turn to sigh. "Any suggestions?"

"We could get sushi." Andre offered.

"I love sushi!" Cat bounced in her seat. "It's like a rainbow wrapped in rice and seaweed!" She giggled to herself. Meanwhile, Tori was looking at Jade expectantly. When Jade looked up, fully knowing that Tori was waiting for her approval, she decided to play her usual game.

"What?" She spat.

"Is sushi okay?"

"Yeah, whatever." Jade waved it off. Beck just sat back, taking mental note of the situation. Another thing added of the list of Dont's. He thought. Don't make Jade eat something twice in one day. Note: Just do it the easy way and let her choose.

"Tori wants to know what kind of sushi you want." Beck called loudly for Jade to hear. He was sitting on the couch while she quickly touched up her makeup and hair before they went to Tori's.

"I don't care."

Beck shook his head, knowing full well that there were only certain kinds that would please her. "Well, why don't you tell me a few options."

"Beck, I told you I don't-"

"Jade, just tell me." Beck said authoritatively.

"Don't interrupt me!" Jade hollered.

Beck sighed, now off of the couch and on his way to the bathroom. He stood in the door way. "I'm sorry I interrupted you." He paused to make sure he sounded as calm as possible. "Jade, what types of sushi do you like?"

She rattled off a few which he told to Tori. Beck waited a few more minutes, as usual, on the couch until she was ready. Then they were off to Tori's.

"You look nice." Beck commented from the passanger's side.

"Oh, so what? I don't usually look nice?"

"I never said that." Beck defended. "I'm just saying that you look especially nice right now."

"Well what's that-"

"You need to calm down." Beck told her as he turned the radio up a bit.

"Oh yeah, or what?"

He thought for a moment for a proper punishment. "Or I'll make you spend the night at Tori's."

"I'd drive home. And how would you get home?" She retorted in a cocky manner.

"Andre could give me a ride. And I'd tell Cat it's a big sleepover and she can't let you go home." Beck knew that Jade would stay for Cat. No one spoke except for the woman talking in the radio commercial.

"You gonna chill?" Beck asked from beside her.

He waited for awhile for a response. "Yes." He almost missed it, seeing as it barely slipped between her teeth. When he heard it though, he smiled.

"Stop it!" Jade snapped when she saw.

"No thanks." Beck said, holding his ground.

"Did you enjoy your sushi?" Beck asked Jade who was sitting beside him, leaning against his left side. He laughed when she shot him a little glare.

He leaned down a little to whisper something in Jade's ear. "Hey, uhm, where's the bathroom?"

Jade moved to her right so she was no longer leaning against him so he could get up. "Up the stairs and down the hall. Last door on the right."

"Thanks." He flashed a smile before heading upstairs.

Andre and Tori approached Jade once they saw Beck head up to the bathroom. They had both been waiting to ask her some questions and now was really the only time they saw an open window. Robbie and Cat noticed the group forming and joined.

"So, how are things going with you two?" Andre asked after Jade stared at him expectantly for a minute.

"I don't even know." Jade began her rant. She just needed someone to talk to. "It's just like there's this big gap in his memory and he doesn't remember anything. Like he still has trouble finding stuff in the RV sometimes, or someone will start talking to him and he has no idea who they are. Sometimes I try to talk to him about stuff and he has no idea what I'm talking about because he doesn't remember, and I just don't know how much more I can take!" The words started rushing out of Jade's mouth and she held her hand to her forehead in frustration.

"It's not any easier on me." Everyone turned to see where the voice was coming from. This probably wasn't their best idea. "I don't know what you think it's like for me, Jade, but let me tell you it's not easy." Beck began, as angry as any of them had seen him. "I feel like a child! I don't know anyone, I don't know where anything is, I don't even remember how to drive a car! Everyone expects so much of me and when I can't live up to their expectations I feel like a failure! I'm always afraid I'm doing something wrong and that someone will be mad at me and sometimes, I get these headaches. I can't even call them headaches. I get these huge migraines that just pound in my head and every noise is twenty time louder! Yeah, Jade, it's all real easy for me. What'd you think? I roll out of bed and just smile and nod while I wait for my memory to come back? I knew you'd feel like giving up on me eventually."

"Well maybe-" Jade began to yell, but Andre cut in. Most of them had been rather taken aback by what Beck said.

"Robbie, why don't you take Beck outside?" He suggested, shoving the two outside. "Cat, why don't you go with them?" Andre said in a calmer tone, seeing the redhead scared and on the verge of tears. Jade was still yelling but no one seemed to be listening. Once the door was closed, Andre and Tori turned towards Jade.

"You can't seriously want to give up everything you two had." Tori suggested.

"Don't you see how lucky we are that nothing worse happened?" Andre chimed in.

"Worse?" Jade hollered. "Something worse? Andre, I'm not sure what could be much worse!"

"How about burying your boyfriend? Going to his funeral and knowing that you never got to say goodbye? Or is that better?" This really caught Jade off guard. Sure she'd had those dreams, but she'd never looked at the situation this way. "This is your second chance." Andre had calmed down considerably.

"You're right." Jade admitted. "But it hurts knowing that your boyfriend doesn't remember anything about you, about your three year relationship."

"Well, just start over. Walk him through it. Help him remember." Andre suggested.

"I don't think you're getting my point." Jade told him, eyes serious. "I spent three years with him. I've been trying to help him. I've been having these nightmares, and last night he told me to lay with him on the bed and everything was fine, and when I woke up this morning, he was out of bed and he ignored me all day. I don't know what I did wrong! How would you feel if the person you lost your virginity with had no recollection of your relationship? Nothing? You were just a face in a bunch of pictures." The room fell silent. Jade hadn't heard the door open, and hadn't realized Beck was standing there when she had said that.

"Jade-"

"Beck, don't worry about it." She shook her head. "I think I need to go for a walk." With that, she walked out the door, leaving everyone staring at the spot she had previously been standing in.
