God, it's like I dropped off the face of the earth for a few days aside from posting on here. A little hard to get back into my usual routines after I claw my way out of those dark places haha. So if I haven't replied back to you (you know who you are) I'm sorry, I've been a little antisocial and catching up with homework. Now, on with the fic.

Jade POV

The next couple of days, Alex and Juliet keep hanging around close to me and Tori. The strange part is that every time Beck comes to talk to one of us, Alex gets Beck's attention and Juliet pulls us away. Today, Alex doesn't get to Beck fast enough.

'Jade.' Beck's voice is dangerously calm, almost monotonous; how it gets when he's angry.

'Beck.' I say, turning to face him.

I see Alex whisper something to Juliet and the blonde walks up to us, steering Tori away from me and Beck. Alex stays by her locker, but I can tell she's eavesdropping. I wonder if Alex and Juliet picked up on my fear of Beck. They seem more sensitive to those kinds of things than other people.

'Have you been avoiding me?' Beck asks, voice still monotonous.

'Whatever gave you that idea?' I ask sarcastically.

Apparently he didn't pick up on it. 'I haven't seen you in almost a week.'

'Beck...I don't think this is working out...' My voice is barely above a whisper.

'What are you saying, Jade?' Beck asks, his voice devoid of any emotion.

'It's over, Beck. I'm breaking up with you.'

What happens next happens so fast, I barely catch it. Beck raises his hand to backhand me but before he can make contact with my face, Alex is at my side, her hand around Beck's wrist, nails digging into his main vein.

'Let go of me, you bitch.' He spits, finally raising his voice.

'Jade, leave us. I don't want you to see this.' Alex says, eyes never leaving Beck.

I shake my head. 'He's tough, Alex. You can't take him by yourself.'

She snarls when Beck smirks. 'Feel lucky I can't do anything without getting expelled.'

Then, in one swift movement, Alex has Beck's arm twisted behind his back, his hand under the opposite shoulder blade. 'I could call one of my brothers to take care of you, but I think my girlfriend would have better luck hiding the body.'

Alex uses her foot to throw him on the floor. 'If she says it's over, it's over. She's not your possession.'

When Alex turns back to me, her normally warm chocolate brown eyes are cold ebony with anger and in that moment, I make a mental note to never piss her off.

Alex POV

'Lexi!' Juliet calls from down the hall. School ended when Beck stopped Jade, so the school is practically deserted.

When she sees Beck, she immediately runs to Jade. 'Oh my gosh! Are you okay? Did Alex get here before he hurt you?'

Tori runs up behind Juliet and stands beside Jade. I smile, my eyes softening. 'She's fine, you two. He didn't lay a hand on her. I didn't give him the chance.'

Juliet walks up and kisses me. 'I was wondering why you stayed behind.'

I look down at Beck's unconscious form. His head hit the lockers and he passed out. 'He's still a problem, though. He won't let her go so easily. He thinks she belongs to him.'

We walk to our lockers to get our homework. We decorated out lockers like Yin and Yang, me being the Yin to her Yang. My locker's completely black with the Yang symbol representing my light while hers is the opposite of mine; white with the Yin symbol representing her darkness.

'She's not a possession...he doesn't own her...' It's a sore subject for her.

I wrap my arms around her waist from behind her, resting my chin on her shoulder. I feel her relax in my arms, leaning into me. We stand like that for a few minutes until we hear someone clear their throat.

We look up at who it was, not moving from our current position. 'I suppose I should thank you, Alex. You didn't have to jump in, but you did. I'm grateful for that.' Jade says, hand laced with Tori's.

I smile warmly at her, but before I can speak up, Tori beats me to it. 'We wanna make it up to you. Let us treat you two to dinner?'

Contrary to popular belief, vampires can, in fact, eat normal food. It tastes the same, it just doesn't satisfy us like it would a normal person.

'What do you say, Jules?' I ask my girlfriend, letting her go.

'You're the hero here, not me.' She says with a laugh, lacing her fingers with mine.

'Where were you planning on taking us?' I ask the two lovebirds.

'There's this place, Karaoke Dokie. There's good food and, like the name, karaoke.' Tori says, smiling at us.

'Okay sure. You'll have to take us though, since we don't have a car.' Juliet says.

'How do you get to school then?' Tori asks us, surprised. Even Jade looks a little curious.

'We walk. We live right there.' I point at the building, visible by the bright neon sign on top of the roof displaying the building's name.

They drop it for now and we all get in Jade's car, arriving at Karaoke Dokie 10 minutes later.

Okay, I'll stop it here for now. The next chapter will continue where this one left off. See you all next time (hopefully), hasta luego mi pastelitos! Good damn bye! (Whoever tells me where that comes from will be my bestest friend in the whole wide world.)
