December Twenty Second

Jealousy

With Jade's parents fairly indifferent, and Beck's aunt agreeing begrudgingly, Jade is allowed to come to Canada with him to Christmas.

The only downside is that Beck's father is going through some weird mid life crises and demands that instead of wasting money on airplane tickets, they drive all the way to Canada.

Needless to say, Jade isn't crazy about this idea, at all.

"C'mon it'll be fun!" Beck urges, throwing clothes into a suitcase sloppily.

"Yeah, yeah. Just you, me, and two people I can't stand in a car together for hours. Joy!" Jade says, her voice oozing sarcasm.

"You can stand my parents!" Beck defends.

"Well, I can't stand your aunt, and I don't want to be anywhere near her," Jade says understandably.

Beck just sighs, because he really can't argue with that at all.

"You won't have to interact with her very much, she's having a huge Christmas party and you'll just blend in with everyone else else!" He suggests.

Jade let's out a bitter snicker. "Me, fit in, yeah right," She replies simply.

Beck can't help but laugh in agreement, because in reality, she's completely right, which makes him fairly excited because he's gonna get to show her off to all his Canadian friends as a nice trophy girlfriend(Although he can't help but feel bad for the thought even crossing his mind).

"Hey speaking of Canada," Jade begins. "Is Moose going to be there?" She asks, playing up her voice with just the amount of curiosity and interest to really get Beck going.

Also, the fact that she's applying lip gloss at the moment doesn't help her case.

"He better not be," Beck replies, his voice low and irritated.

"Why? I thought you guys were friends," Jade remarks, popping her lips.

"You know damn well why," Beck replies, a bit harshly.

Jade gives a bit of an eyeroll. "I hope you didn't get too mad with Moose about that, I mean, it was me who kissed him so-"

"What?!"

Taken aback, Jade realizes her mistake. That Beck doesn't actually know about the kiss, and his discomfort was from the crush she displayed and nothing else.

She quickly realizes how screwed she is now.

"What do you mean you kissed Moose?" Beck clarifies, his voice almost deadly in a way that Jade's rarely heard it. So much so that as she's sitting on Beck's bed, still getting ready, she can't help but feel almost frightened as Beck begins to corner her there.

"I mean that uh.. We were in my car.. And I really wanted to win the little battle with Tori and Cat- I didn't actually like him- but I maybe sort of started making out with him, and we kept kissing until eventually I stopped it from getting any worse,"Jade rants.

Beck sighs almost ashamed of himself as he stares at the Jade he rarely sees, the Jade who's at loss for words. He knows he's probably the only person in the world who honestly can terrify Jade West, mostly due to the fact that she can't scare him at all.

Jade's looking at him a bit scared and nervous, so he untenses his muscles, sitting closely beside her to let her know it's okay.

Regaining all confidence, Jade decides it's the perfect time to say, "Hey, you tried to kiss Tori," and crossing her arms.

Wordlessly, Beck presses a finger to Jade's lips to kindly tell her to shut up, and Jade pouts a little because in the past, his shut ups have been a bit more intimate.

"Behind us, remember," He reminds her gently.

She nods, crashing her lips to his.
