"So you want me to come to your play? Are you sure?" Jade asks. Beck called her while she was eating lunch with Tori, Robbie, and Cat.
"Yes I'm sure. You're my girlfriend," he says, making her smile. Her friends stare at her curiously. She doesn't smile unless someone she hates is in pain.
"Okay, I'll come. But it's not because I like you," she tells him, smirking.
"Okay. I'll text you the address. I have to go."
"Bye," she tells him.
"See you tonight."
She arrives and is greeted by a boy with dreadlocks.
"Hey, my name's Andre. I'm Beck's friend. Beck told me to give you this. He's backstage getting ready," Andre tells her.
"Jade," she greets. Andre smiles and then goes backstage.
'Wait for me after the show? See you soon- Beck'
She sits near the front.
Beck's the star of the show. He's really good.
It's a romantic play, and there's some other chick kissing him.
At first she realizes she feels jealous. She's only known him for about a three months, but she feels jealous anyway. Beck is her constant; he's not allowed to be anyone else's.
At the end of the play, she tells him what she thinks: it was really good. They go out to eat dinner with Andre. And Jade becomes fast friends with him.
She gets Andre's number and texts him a lot. He's funny. And definitely not annoying like Robbie, her only other male friend.
For some reason, college kids don't annoy Jade; maybe it's because they understand the difference between being a child and being an adult.

Beck takes Jade with him to a college party. It's nice. There's beer pong and all of the things she's seen in movies. She doesn't drink anything because she wants to be aware of her surroundings.
"So, this is Jade, my girlfriend," Beck introduces her to his friends.
She loves when he says that.

"Jade?" He asks. They're naked. They've been dating for five and a half months.
"Yeah?" She asks. He can feel her smooth legs touching his.
"I... I love you," he admits.
She fights the inner war going on in her head telling her to run away. This boy is a constant. It's okay to love him. He won't just leave her like the rest of them.
"I love you," she breathes, crashing her lips against his, making him smile.
"Don't break up with me, okay? I can't deal with it. Not after Amelia and my mom. So if you don't want to be with me, if you have any doubts, please just say it now," she sighs, closing her eyes.
"I love you okay? I'm never going to break up with you," he says.
She falls asleep with that last line in her brain, hoping it's true.
