A/N: Thanks to kaitlin2515 (special thanks to you for coming up with the shipping name Jayle for Jade and Kyle), Rishini, sayyouwontletgo, Jane and irshgirl for reviewing. When I first thought of Kyle I hoped that people would like him so I'm really happy you guys already love him so much. Hope you enjoy the chapter :)

It was a month ago now that Beck had broken up with her and Jade slowly felt like she began to heal, but when she saw Beck and Tori in Sikowitz's play together it seemed she hadn't move on as well as she thought she had. Cat had asked her to come and see the play because she had a role in it and Jade reluctantly had agreed to come, taking Kyle with her. Lately they were never seen apart, which was the root of a lot of rumors but neither Kyle nor Jade cared about it. Sitting in the audience and watching the play it was immediately obvious that Sikowitz had once again given Tori the female lead and to make it even worse Beck had the male lead. There was no stage kiss but that they had to play a couple and it was believable hurt Jade. It seemed she wasn't over Beck as much as she had thought and only now she realized that. Tensed she sat through the rest of the play and when it was finally over she quickly congratulate Cat and then went away without another word to anyone. Kyle followed her outside to his car, already knowing from Jade's behavior that something was wrong.

"Hanging out at my place?" He offered.

Jade only nodded and got into his car. A few minutes later they arrived and Kyle opened the door for her, hoping for her usual sarcastic remark, but when nothing of that sort came he really began to worry. When they sat down on his couch Kyle decided to ask her about what was on her mind.

"I wanted to give you time before I ask you what happened between you and Beck, but don't you think you would feel better if you talk about it Jewel?"

Kyle saw Jade silently debating with herself before her eyes gleamed sadly.

"The last few weeks before the break up we fought a lot about the most ridiculous things. You know that weird guy Sinjin?" When Kyle nodded Jade continued. "He made a stupid game show 'Queries For Couples' and Beck and I were voted worst couple. To make it short he told me in front of the audience that he wasn't happy with our relationship and then dumped me in front of the people that I thought were my friends."

Kyle saw Jade's hands begin to shake, so he took a hold of them to reassure her that it was okay to let it all out. She took a deep breath, her eyes clouding over with deep sadness.

"None of my supposed friends, except Cat, called or texted me if I was okay after the break up and then they had the nerve to call themselves my friends a few days later. Beck was the worst of all of them, saying that we could still be friends after everything he had done to me. Once again I was all alone."

With that Jade buried her head in his shoulder and Kyle felt her shake with what he assumed were sobs. It was awful for him to see his always strong and confident Jewel like this and he cursed Beck for doing this to her. Jade really must have loved her ex-boyfriend and maybe even still love him by the looks of it today during Sikowitz's play. Kyle had seen Jade look away when Tori and Beck had played a romantic scene and that had told him Jade still had deep feelings for her ex-boyfriend. For now all he could do was hold Jade and reassuringly stroke her back until she calmed down, but he would have a word with Beck. Which idiot would break up with an amazing girl like Jade?

The next day at school Jade felt better. Kyle was right, it was good to let it all out and talk with him about what had happened. There was only one thing she had to do before she could finally begin to heal and that was talk with Beck. After a month of ignoring him it wouldn't be easy, but maybe that was the start of a new beginning. Beck seemed to have noticed her less defensive demeanor towards him because during lunch break he approached her and Kyle's table.

"Can we talk? Please?" Beck asked hesitantly, probably anxious that she would harshly deny the offer.

"I'm not having this conversation here." Jade stated looking at the other students, who watched them with interest.

"Janitor's closet?"

"Isn't that where all our important conversations end up?" Jade said sarcastically, but stood up and made her way inside the school, followed by Beck.

Kyle looked after them with a worried expression on his face. It surprised him that Jade had agreed to talk to Beck, but maybe that would help her heal. All Kyle could do now was hope that this conversation would benefit Jade.

When they arrived in the janitor's closet and had closed the door Jade raised a challenging eyebrow at Beck, after all he was the one that had asked to talk so he should begin.

"Look, I never meant for us to break up." Beck started and nervously ran a hand through his hair. "I really just wanted to stop fighting with you. Fighting with you all the time hurt us both and the last thing I wanted was so hurt you."

"And what a great job you did with that." Jade said coldly.

"I never wanted to hurt you. I know I ended up doing just that, but it wasn't my intention. I know that you can't forgive me just yet and I completely understand that, but can we start talking again? I really miss you."

Jade let Beck's words wash over her and she slowly made eye contact with him for the first time since their break up. The pain and regret she saw in his eyes overwhelmed her and she took a deep breath before answering him.

"You know how difficult it's to earn my trust and you were the person I trusted most. You disappointed that trust and betrayed me. You told me you loved me and then you humiliated me in front of an audience and my former friends. Tell me Beck, how should I forgive you all this and ever trust you again?"

"I made a lot of mistakes and I want to apologize to you for that. It was wrong of me to just give up on our relationship and I should have talked to you and not announce something like that in front of a crowd. I know words mean nothing to you, so let me prove it. Let me show you that you can trust me again. Please."

His words came from his heart and he hoped Jade would consider them. He meant every word and he wanted to do everything to earn her trust back. He knew he had done so many things that he never should have done and he wanted to be a better friend to her. It would take time for her to even see him as a friend again, but Beck hoped with all his heart that maybe one day she would love him again. If she would give him a second chance as a friend or hopefully more he would do so many things differently. Lack of love was never their problem, but they had stopped talking to each other about the things that bothered them and he wouldn't make that mistake again. Looking deep into her beautiful blue eyes he hope that she would see how important it was for him to have her back in his life.

"Alright." Jade finally said, but when she saw Beck's eyes lighted up and he came closer to her she stopped him. "This means not that I forgive you or that I consider you a friend. First you have to prove to me that you mean what you said. Like you said words mean nothing to me." With that she turned around to open the door, but before she could even touch the door handle he spoke up again.

"I still love you Jade West and I'll do everything to earn your trust back."

Beck's words made a small smile appear on her face before she went out of the janitor's closet. They were far from being okay with each other, but Jade felt relieved to have cleared things up between them. Now Beck had to prove that he meant what he had said and he might not be the only one who was in her heart right now.

A/N: Next chapter will be about Kyle and Beck's first direct face-off. Please review and tell me what you think :)
