Jade Gets Crushed
(A/N: I must say I'm incredibly excited for this one! XD)
"Jade, can I ask you something?" Andre asked. I looked up from the paper I was writing and raised my eyebrow.
"How the hell did you get in my house?" I asked, crossing my arms. I was sitting in my room when Andre walked in.
"Don't throw anything at me!" Andre said, shielding his face.
I narrowly glanced at the scissors that were sitting by my laptop.
"Just answer the question. Who let you in my house?"
"Your dad! And Beck! Well, Beck drove me here and then your dad answered the door. Beck went to go get you coffee and he said he's going to come back!" Andre panicked, stepping as far away from me as possible. I smirked. I had this effect on people?
"So what did you want to ask me?" I asked casually, turning back to my laptop. Andre settled down and walked behind my chair.
"Can you help me record a song? I need a female voice."
"What about Vega?" I asked.
"Busy crunching for an exam."
"Cat?"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah. She has a great voice," I mumbled.
"She had the attention span of a goldfish."
I smiled at the thought of a goldfish with bright red hair.
"Where and when?"
Andre grinned. "Lounge after school."
"Bring coffee," I said.
"No problem." Andre grinned, and ran out of my room. A few minutes later Beck opened the door with two cups of coffee in his hands.
"Did Andre some talk to you?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"Where is he? Did you hurt him! Jade he only wanted to ask," Beck whined.
"Shut up. And no. I'm spending my Wednesday night in the lounge helping your best friend write a song." I said, poking his chest.
Beck grinned. "Aw Jades helping others,"
I glared at him. "Can you come to the lounge after school to say bye to me," I asked, getting off the chair and wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Of course." Beck grinned. He pecked my lips and then led me back to my laptop to finish my essay.
LINE BREAK
"Jadey! I got these for free with a purchase of 38 bags of gummy worms!" Cat screamed after the final bell rang, pointing a pair of shiny scissors at me.
"Woah Cat," I said, taking the scissors for two reasons. One, Cat with sharp objects is bad. And Two, They were pretty nice scissors.
"You're welcome!" Cat giggled, and bounced away on her Jupiter Boots.
I set the scissors on the seat next to me, and looked in my bag for a spare scissor case I keep.
"Hey Jade," Sinjin said. I felt his warm breath of the back of my neck and I shivered.
"Go away." I monotone.
"If by go away, you mean sit next to you, I can do that," Sinjin said, and took the seat next to me.
"OWWW!" He screamed, and fell off the chair. My head flew to where he sat. Replacing his butt, there was a pair of bent scissors.
"Sinjin!" I screamed, and kicked his man parts.
"OWWWW!"
I grabbed my scissors remorsefully and ran to the girl's bathroom to wipe the mix of butt sweat and blood off of the blades.
"Now I'm going to be late," I mumbled, grabbing a paper towel.
Meanwhile… (3rd person POV)
"Hey man," Beck said, walking into the lounge where Andre was tapping on the piano.
"Hey." Andre said quietly. He had thought about how long it would take to write to write the song, and that he might have to spend 7 hours in the same room with Jade.
"Jade's not here yet?" Beck asked confused. Jade had told him to meet her here.
"Yeah…About Jade," Andre said, trying to find the right words to not offend Beck.
"Yeah?"
"I don't think she's the right girl to sing my song," Andre admitted.
"Why not?"
Andre winced at the thought of her and a pair of scissors. "She scares me."
Beck looked at Andre with disbelief. One of the manliest men he knew was scared of his girlfriend. Sure, Jade dressed dark and insulted everyone. But that's how she fought. With words, not action. "Jade scares you?"
"She scares everyone!" Andre argued
Jades POV
I held the scissors in my hand. Beck better be in the lounge. I caught a glimpse of him and Andre talking about something, so I stormed in.
"I'm going to kill him!" I screamed, pounding open the door.
"GAH!" Andre said, cowering to the piano.
"Calm down. What happened?" Beck said in a quiet tone. Oh, so he was trying to lead by example. Well he can kiss my ass!
"I'm not going to calm down! Sinjin sat on my new scissors! They're bent! They've lost their sciz!" I screamed, throwing the broken scissors at the wall. They stuck in the cement and I crossed my arms. Maybe I had taken it too far. Andre looked like he never wanted to talk to me and Beck was still staring in shock.
He glanced at Andre. "Well. You kids have fun."
He walked to me, and gave me a peck on the cheek, but I wanted more so I turned my face, but he ended up awkwardly kissing my nose. I sighed and stared at Andre.
"You ready?"
Andre gulped and nodded, pointing to a seat by the electric piano.
I sat there and motioned for him to start.
"Well, I was thinking, and in class I think I came up with the first verse or whatever." Andre grinned.
"Ok."
"You wanna hear it?"
"Sure."
Andre took a seat at the piano and fiddled around before setting his hands. "I can't complain my mom always said there would be days like this, I'm staring out of my window with no answers as I clench my fists."
I rolled my eyes. "Stop."
Andre frowned. "What was wrong?"
"You sound like an abused teenage girl. It's not right…" I whispered.
"A girl?"
"So man up and write a new song. Go." I demanded.
Andre furrowed his eyebrows.
This was going to be a long night.
LINE BREAK
I groaned. It was midnight and I'm at school. FML. "I'm going to get some cereal," I announced. Andre glanced up from his paper. In 6 hours we had gotten the verses to the songs, but no chorus.
I walked into the cafeteria and to the back room where the lunch ladies kept the food. I found some Frosted Flakes, but no milk so I poured them in a bowl and headed back.
"Whatcha got there?" Andre asked.
"Food you're not getting," I said with a mouthful of cereal. Andre frowned and I sat down.
"Did you ever try this when you were a kid-" I started, grabbing Andre's hand. He flinched back.
"Woah! Whatcha doing?"
"Just give me your hand and don't be a baby," I frowned.
HE slowly gave me his hand. "Alright. I trust you."
I rolled my eyes and roughly pulled his hand to me. "Yeah yeah. Big mistake."
Andre had a moment of panic flash in his eyes before he realized my sarcasm. I started kneading the skin of his hand.
"Open."
I slapped his hand. "Close."
I started kneading again.
"Are you sure there's a point to this?"
"Yup. And here it comes and open."
I pressed a finger in the middle of his hand, and released mine.
"Oooh! It's all tingly! Do it again!" Andre clapped like a little kid. I grinned.
"No! We've gotta write your song!"
"Eh. It's after midnight and we still need the chorus. Let's just bail."
"No. You got your break, now write the song."
Andre sighed in defeat and turned to the piano. He played the ending notes of verse one and started playing new ones.
"Uh…"
"Keep going," I encouraged, pen ready to take notes.
"I really wish that I could write the next line." Andre started singing. I looked up and smiled.
"Uh…my favorite letter's J," I quirked my lips. "Tuna fish filet. I'm gonna wash my dog with some blue shampoo."
I rolled my eyes, and suddenly an idea came to my head. "Alright. Record me."
Andre set up the recording thing and starting playing the music. "There is no upper hand I'm giving you mine, it doesn't have to end up wasting your time. There's things that I should say but here in my way I wanna let you know, that it's all okay."
I closed my eyes and took off the tight headpiece. Andre was staring at me in awe…kind of like Beck the first time he heard me sing. Shit.
"What did ya think?" I asked.
"Ungh!" Andre mumbled.
I nodded awkwardly.
"Well. I should go," Andre said suddenly, and bolted out of the room. I sighed and called Beck.
"Hello?" he mumbled. He had obviously been asleep.
"Me and Andre are done. Pick me up?"
"Magic word?"
"Sex."
"Okay then. See you in a few," Beck mumbled. I stepped outside Hollywood Arts doors and sat on the curb until Beck's truck pulled in.
I got in the passenger seat and Beck was in pajama pants and an undershirt.
"How'd it go? "He yawned.
"Good. We got the song done."
"Good. Are we going to your place or mine?" Beck asked as we got to the four way stoplight.
"Mine," I grumbled.
Beck turned left and parked in my garage, which thankfully my dad's car wasn't in.
I quickly got showered and brushed my teeth, and then hopped in bed alongside a sleeping Beck. I stared at him, and then kissed his forehead.
Andre's got some serious competition if he wants this chick.
LINE BREAK
Me and Beck drove to school the next day, and I immediately spotted Tori and Andre. Tori made eye contact with me, and then frantically whispered something to Andre. Andre whirled around and smiled nervously at me and Beck.
"Hey. When can I hear the full song?" I asked, studying Andre's eyes.
He was extremely panicked. He loves me.
"Uhhh."
"Andre! Jade wants to know when she can hear the song you two recorded." Tori said slowly. Damn. She knew?
"Oh! I'll e-mail it to you. You know, via internet."
I furrowed my eyebrows and suppressed a laugh. "Via?"
"Don't you think it'd be better for you two to listen to it together?" Beck asked.
"No? Why? I didn't do anything!" Andre said. I glanced at Beck to see if he caught on, but he was keeping a poker face.
"Okay. Just email it to me." I sighed, and took Beck's hand.
"Via?" Beck asked a little after we left.
"I know weird right?" I said. We rounded the corner, and then I felt my body being pushed against the locker, Beck's lips on mine.
"Mhhm. Not that I don't like randomly making out with you, but what's that for? You hate my morning coffee breath."
Beck looked me in the eyes. "You love me right?"
"Do dip Sherlock," I teased, flicking the side of his head.
"So if I told you that Andre looks like he has a bit of a crush on you, you wouldn't leave me?" Beck asked.
I rolled my eyes. "Well he does have nice abs," I teased.
"Ugh."
"I love you Beck. Chill. I'm just kind of curious to see where this goes," I said.
"I don't like this…"
"Is someone jealous?"
"No! Fine! See where this goes. But if he touches you I swear he's going to get it."
"Fine."
LINE BREAK
"Well Monday, baby I fell for you. Tuesday I wrote you this song. Wednesday I wait outside your door, even though I know it's wrong."
I glanced over at Beck who was extremely uncomfortable, so I decided to make it worse.
"I wish you would write songs for me," I said dreamily.
Beck stiffened even more. "I wrote one for you last month."
"A song about a dead dog rotting in the ground the day after my dog died isn't what I meant." I said.
"Still…"
Beck wrapped his arms around me and we swayed to the song. Despite its meaning, it wasn't bad. When it was over, he got a huge applause, and stared at me in the crowd. I smiled back and he just about fainted.
Me and Beck walked over to say congrats to Andre (and Tori) for a great performance. I saw Tori go to give Beck a hug, and I glared at her.
"No." I said, pointing a finger. She stepped back and walked over to Robbie.
"Great job Andre," I said in a girly voice, and leaned to give him a hug. He wrapped his arms even tighter around me, and wouldn't let go.
"Dude." Beck said. Andre pushed off.
"Jade…why you so clingy," He tried to joke.
I shook my head. "No. Now Cat, Robbie, Tori. Get a life and go eat spaghetti tacos."
They all nervously walked away, and me and Beck turned to face Andre.
"Hi…" Andre said awkwardly.
"Dude. Do you have a thing for Jade?" Beck asked. I raised my eyebrow.
"Psh. No. You just have an amazing voice. Like angles. But hot angles. In black. I mean! Never mind." Andre ranted.
"Bummer Beck! I thought I was going to let Andre kiss me to get over me, but he never had a thing for me!" I said sarcastically.
"Wait what?" Beck and Andre said at the same time.
"Nothing," I grinned and shrugged.
I turned around and counted to three before Andre called after me.
"Wait Jade! Okay. I did have a crush. Beck, I didn't mean to. But you should've heard her sing!" Andre explained.
Beck nodded, but looked upset.
I gave Beck a look that said 'now you know what it's like for me to see blonde sluts around you'. I turned to Andre.
"I'm offering you a deal. I will let you kiss me one. No tongue, and then you must let go of your feeling for me." I said.
"Wait! Why don't I get a say on this deal," Beck said.
"Because I didn't get a say when you kissed Tori. So shut up." I said. Beck looked down.
I raised my eyebrow at Andre. "Deal or no deal?"
Andre sighed. "I want to. But Beck's my best friend. I couldn't do that to him."
Beck looked relieved. However, this was a well overdue way of me getting back at him for kissing Tori.
"No."
I pulled him towards me and pressed my lips to his. Andre eagerly responded, but after a few seconds I felt my waist being dragged backwards.
"See you tomorrow Andre," Beck called, picking me up and taking me to his truck. Andre stood there stunned, but he was over me when that slut Clarissa walked by. His eyes were off me, and on her ass.
Good for me. I got to kiss a hot guy, get a slut away from Beck, and resolve feeling between me and Andre.
And people say I'm not good at solving problems.
"Jade! Why the hell did you kiss him?" Beck screamed.
But I am good at stating them.
"Because you kissed Tori!"
Woah! Lucky for you all, my lazy ass is in bed with the flu and have nothing better to do than update! Yaay!
