(I realize this is out of order, but I got a special request by KendrainCupcakesG to do this one now.)
The Worst Couple
It was no secret me and Beck fought. A lot.
It's no secret me and Beck are both very attractive people.
It's no secret girls look at Beck….
And guys don't give a fuck about me.
So.
I must ask you this?
How can Beck get mad at me for getting jealous, when he has never had anything to be jealous over himself? He's never had to worry about me running off with some guy, because unless I want to date a perverted puppet, I have no one to run to. He has anyone, and everyone.
Just keep that in mind, when you read about this.
It took me some thinking, but I finally remember how this all started.
Sad huh? That I couldn't even remember at first.
Me and Beck were driving to school. He had seemed a little edgy, like he was on his period or something, but hopefully that wasn't his case.
We went to the coffee shop we go to every morning before school.
Medium black coffee, two sugars for me. Large Vanilla Latte for him. I liked this coffee shop because mostly men worked there. Old men. But still better than teenage girls. However, this particular morning when we walked in, there was a Vega-Happy blonde girl, who looked to be a year younger than us. Brittany. Andre, Tori, Robbie, Cat, and Beck would think she was a sweet girl. She was one of the few that didn't eye up Beck when we ordered. She smiled, tucked a piece of stray hair behind her ear, and quietly got our order.
This seemed strange. I check Beck's coffee cup for a phone number, a heart, something to assure me this girl wasn't as sweet as she seemed. Because we all know you can't be sweet and hot at the same time.
We left the coffee shop, and I think in the end what struck me the most was the fact that Brittany wasn't flirting with Beck, but she was the only blonde headed, mildly attractive stranger our age that Beck smiled at, and waved to on the way out.
He never did that with girls who openly flirted with him.
LINE
"Beck what the hell was that about?" I asked as I shut the car door.
"What was what Jade?" He sighed.
"The way you flirted with that girl. Did you know her?" I asked.
"FLIRT? Jade. Yes I know her! She's my neighbor. You met Allie. That was her older sister. I've known her since I was two!"
I snapped my mouth shut. Maybe I was a little quick to jump to conclusions, but Beck could've at least explained something to me.
We drove in silence. Once we got to the school parking lot, I turned to open the door but Beck grabbed my wrist.
"Look, Jade. You have serious jealousy issues. Just…you should talk to someone about them." Beck said.
I raised my eyebrows. "I try to talk to you Beck, but you just roll your eyes and blame it on me."
"You don't talk to me about them. You scream! And then we end up fighting." Beck said slightly louder.
"I just wish you could try to see where I'm coming from!" I screamed. I could feel tears surging to my eyes, but I pushed them down.
"I do see. The difference between you and me is when I see a guy looking at you, I don't instantly hate them. I admire the fact that they're jealous of my girlfriend and wish they had her." Beck said.
I shook my head. "Since when do guys notice me? I blend in to the walls until I scream at someone! And then the guy is scared so he leaves. I'm a fucking guy repellent. I think my dad sprays it on me every night before I go to bed!" I screamed.
"You know what…We're going to be late for class," Beck said, walking out of the car. I groaned and pressed my hands to my face. I let a few tears drop, but quickly wiped them up and readjusted myself in the mirror. I walked out of the car before slamming the door shut and walking alone a few minutes late to Sikowitz's. Luckily, he wasn't there anyways. I took a seat besides Beck who pretty much glared at me.
I ignored him and put on my actors face. Me and Beck were a perfect couple. I'm Jade West. No one's stronger than me. I'm on top. Me and Beck were the 'it' couple. People wished they were us.
If only any of those statements were true.
STUPID.
That's one word to describe Sinjin. I grinned a satisfied smile when I heard the crunch of Sinjins leg under my car.
"Jade! What the fuck!" Beck screamed, running out of the car and helping Sinjin up. I rolled my eyes and parked the car while Beck helped Sinjin to the nurses.
I grabbed Beck's bag and my own, and he was just storming out to find me when I walked in. I handed him his bag wordlessly and followed him inside.
"JADE! Control our anger! C'mon! You can't run people over in a car because they asked a question about the ocean and made our relationship more messed up than it already is." Beck yelled. I saw Tori flinch over at her locker and stuff what looked like a trophy inside it.
"Maybe I'm mad at Sinjin because I'm the only one who cares if our relationship gets messed up!" I yelled.
Beck opened his mouth to say something, but snapped it shut when he realized all the people that were gathering around.
"Come talk." He said quietly, and grabbed my wrist.
"Kidnapper!" I immediately screeched. "I'm done talking about it!" I screamed. I trying to pull away but he was just too damn strong.
"No we're not."
I didn't want to talk about this. "You all see he's kidnapping me! He's a kidnapper! Let go!" I screamed and Beck pushed me in the janitor's closet.
What was he gonna do? Rape me? Well Beckett, it's not rape if I like it.
"Kidnapper." I muttered.
"This is not fun," Beck said once he closed the door.
"Right! What's not funny is that you're getting upset over a stupid game show!"
"We were voted worst couple! And the other two couples weren't even real couples! And one of them had Robbie." Beck screamed.
Since when does Beck scream?
"Why do you care if we were voted worst couple?" Since when is our relationship based on what other people think. People think Beck's too good for me. He always disagrees!
"Is this a closet party?" Cat asked and opened the door.
Perfect. The closest thing I had to a best friend can help me show Beck he's wrong.
"Cat. We need your opinion on us." Beck said.
I rolled my eyes. "Why not just ask a monkey?"
"Don't you think Jade and I fight a lot?"
"Sure." Cat said.
Bad question.
"Yeah but all boyfriends and girlfriends fight a lot, don't they?" I asked nervously.
"Sometimes but-"
"Answer the question! Yes or no!" I screamed.
"Let her talk!" Beck yelled.
Let her talk? I can't even talk to him!
"You never listen to me talk!"
"Can I go now?" Cat asked.
"No! What is your point here anyways?" I asked Beck.
"I would like to have a girlfriend I can talk to without it turning into a screaming match."
I rolled my eyes.
"And I would like a boyfriend who girls don't stare at all the time!"
"How is it my fault girls stare at me?"
"Oh, you could look worse if you wanted to," I spat.
"I can't believe how jealous you get!" No. This was not getting turned around on me.
"Oh! So you think I'm ugly!" All the other guys thought so, so why not him.
"What? Did I say that? Cat did I say that?"
Cat started hyperventilating.
"Cat thinks we're a perfect couple!" I shouted. My friend was going to back me up if she didn't pass out.
"Cat are we a perfect couple?"
"Don't answer that!"
"C'mon!"
"You come on!"
Cat dropped to the ground. I sighed. She did this a lot when she heard my parents fight. It's no big deal.
"Well. You made Cat faint. "Beck said.
"I'm going to be late to class." I mocked him from earlier.
"We have to talk about this sooner or later!"
"LATER!" I screamed. I was going home. I drove myself, and Beck can find his own way.
I walked out to my car angrily. Fuck all this.
I was sitting on the couch watching TV when someone knocked at the door. I groaned and got up to see back standing there with crossed arms. I slammed the door shut, but he wedged his foot in between and the door bounced back. I sighed and walked inside, and he followed.
"Everyone is at Tori's house." He said.
"So?"
"Everyone. Cat, Andre, Robbie. They're playing poker." Beck said. I was secretly upset. Tori always invited to play poker, and I usually won.
"Okay."
"They didn't invite us Jade!" Beck screamed.
"Shut up and just dump her!" My dad screamed angrily from the next room. Me and Beck both rolled our eyes.
"I bet it's just Andre that's over there. They always invite us when they play poker." I said.
"Oh yeah? Robbie slap update says otherwise. I'll show you. C'mon." Beck said, getting behind me and shoving me out the door. He grabbed my wrist and put me in the car, and drove to Tori's house.
He better be wrong.
I leaned against the doorframe when we got there.
"Oh, hey, it's you guys," Tori said nervously. I brushed by her. Shit. Everyone was here.
"I told you! I told you they'd all be here!" Beck said, pointing to the poker table. I bit my lip and stayed silent.
"Yeah… I'm sorry we didn't invite you," Tori said quietly.
"No. Tell her why you didn't invite us."
I gave Tori the death glare, and she contemplated her answers.
"Because we were planning you surprise party?" She said, fidgeting her hands.
I rolled my eyes, and Andre explained the real reason.
Because we fight too much.
I was getting more and more nervous. Why would Beck bring me here if it turned out this way?
I couldn't take it after Beck said he didn't want to be my boyfriend if we kept fighting.
"I'm walking out that door. If you're not out by the time I count to 10, I'm leaving and we're over." I said. Tears were coming to my eyes. Surely he would come back? He can't throw 3 years in the trash. Three years we'll never get back.
I slammed the door, and started counting.
"One."
I crossed my arms. It was a little cold, but I'd wait for him,
"Two."
I made a mental note to count slower. The more time, the better, right?
"Three."
I heard soft clapping. Great. I remembered three.
"Four."
Shit Jade. Almost halfway through. SLOWER!
"Five."
I heard footsteps. It's about time ya dick.
"Six."
There was a grunt, and a thump. I winced. Whatever it was it didn't sound good. I stopped counting for a bit to try to figure out what happened.
"I'm a really fun girl!" I heard Trina's voice.
"No you're not!" Beck said. I heard footsteps, so I continued counting.
"Seven."
Why did the footsteps stop? I could practically feel body heat on the other side of the door. JUST PULL THE HANDLE.
"Eight," I said nervously.
No fucking way he's reconsidering it. No way.
"Nine," I yelled a bit higher pitched, to let him know I was almost there, in case he couldn't hear me.
I paused, waiting for him to open the door.
"Ten," I whispered. But he couldn't hear that. "Ten," I yelled, my voice cracking.
Maybe he was mistaken?
I put my hand by the doorknob ready to see if he was as emotionally wrecked as I was about to be. Wanting to throw myself in his arms.
But what if he pushed me away and TOLD me to go.
Then I would be humiliated even more.
I already counted to 10. And I knew he heard me.
I felt the waterworks start. I softly pulled my hand away from the doorknob and quickly walked away before Tori's mom came back and saw the mess I was about to be in.
I opened to door to Beck's car.
I had the keys. And I was driving myself to his RV, and then walking the 20 minute walk home.
I turned the car on and backed out of the driveway to let him know I left, but pulled over the car at the end of Tori's street and hunched over the steering wheel. I let my soul pour out.
My love. I lost him. Because I was too fearful of the day this would happen to enjoy my time with him.
I was jealous. He didn't care. He never listened to me. I noticed. I cared. I was the only one.
Love's like two people holding a rubber band. Once one let goes, it hurts the other.
I was the one who got hurt.
"JADE!" I heard my name called. I picked my head up wiped my tears. I was a hot mess.
I looked in the rearview mirror to see Beck running down the street.
He probably wants his car back and is going to make me walk home.
A clap of thunder shook overhead.
Great. Now I get to walk home in the rain.
"I'm counting to fifteen!" Beck called, louder because he was closer. "Eleven!" I sighed and got out of the car. I left the keys in, and totally defeated, I set in the direction of my house.
"Twelve!" Beck called again. I could hear his footsteps getting closer. His breath from running.
I turned around sharply. "WHAT?" I screamed, a new ocean full of tears streaming down.
Beck ran faster. "Thirteen!"
"Why the hell are you counting?" I shrieked.
"Fourteen." He screamed, pushing his arms. He finally reached me and used his momentum from running to swing me in his arms and press his lips to mine.
"Fifteen." He sighed, pulling away.
I pushed him away.
"You can't do that to me and expect this to be okay!" I yelled. "Why were you counting?"
"Because that's how many seconds it took me to find you after I realized why I let my girlfriend count all the way to 10 when I should've ran out the door and kissed you at 1. Maybe 3 or 4 since Trina tackled me." Beck said breathlessly.
"Ex-girlfriend." I said, crossing my arms.
Beck frowned. "I told myself, I'm counting to fifteen. If I don't make it to her by the time I'm done counting, then I'm going to suffer the same pain she did when she got to ten." Beck said.
"Great. Now you sprinted a long street, and you still suffer pain," I said, tears welling up. Did I really want to let him go?
"No." Beck said, and grabbed me, pressing his lips to mine again. "I've been your boyfriend for 3 years. I never listened to you, this is no exception," he growled.
I felt rain start to pour, and soak my skin. Beck continued to kiss me, and it all felt too perfect to not respond.
I mean a kiss in the rain? What's more cliché than that?
"IS that a sign of forgiveness?" Beck asked, pulling away.
I started crying, but luckily the pouring rain concealed my tears. I nodded.
Beck hugged me and I felt tears on my head. Not raindrops, they were saltier when they dripped down my nose and on my lips.
"I promise to start listening to you," Beck whispered.
I wrapped my arms around him.
"And I promise to hide all your hair gel so girls don't find you as attractive."
Beck laughed. "It's a deal."
I shook my head. "You also owe me a lot of sex after all this stress you've caused me."
Beck tipped his head to the sky and laughed.
"Good, these clothes are getting wet anyways."
We walked hand in hand to his car. I got in the passenger seat and hummed to a melody I didn't know.
We got back to his RV, took a shower together, and curled up in bed beside him in one of his t-shirts and my black silk underwear.
Kind of like this never happened.
Just another day in the life of Beck&Jade
Dysfunction rocks.
