It was Saturday. The Saturday Beck promised to come to Jeremiahs soccer match. That part I hadn't told Jer and maybe I was feeling an iny tiny bit guilty about that. But I would feel more guilt of Jer hoped for Beck and he didn't come. It was a possibility. It isn't like Beck keeps all his promises. Like the one where he promised to never hurt me like my father did.

"Jer!" I yelled up the stairs. "C'mon kid! We should have left five minutes ago!"

"Coming!" His little feet thundered down the steps and he flashed by me. "Hurry Jade!"

I just smiled and followed him. He opened the door and stopped immediately in his tracks. When I saw that I pulled him back and positioned myself in front of him. The door was still partially closed so I couldn't see who was outside. But I wouldn't let Jer get hurt. This was one of the times everyone would be glad that I carried scissors. Only no one was there to show it.

I grabbed the scissors out of my boot and held them in front of me. "Who's there?"

The door was pushed open which led me to pushing Jer back a little but further. "Jadelyn."

Oh no… Sighing I closed my eyes. I'd rather have a burglar then this person back home again.

My stepmother came into view and looked disapprovingly at the scissors in my hand. "Is that really necessary, Jadelyn? You know I hate those vulgar things."

"Yes, it is necessary. You scared Jer."

"Jadelyn." It was her turn to sigh when she draped her expensive fur coat over her arm. "You know Jeremiah is scared easily." She walked past me and tried to ruffle his hair.

Only Jer wouldn't let her. "Don't touch me."

"Jeremiah." This voice came from my father, who just walked in. "Do not talk to your mother like that."

"She is not our mother." I pulled Jer back to me. "That would be even worse than the one we have."

"Jadelyn." I knew that tone. One of his oh so famous threats was coming. "If you keep talking like that I will stop paying for your school."

"Really?" I lifted one of my eyebrows. "Because I was in the understanding that Miss Young, Perky and Rich there paid for everything. Except of course my school, my school or anything else connected to me. Mom pays for that and you know it. At least she is a half decent parent. Unlike you."

The vein in his forehead was popping up. One of the signs that he was getting really pissed. To all people it would seem like I enjoyed pissing him off, but I really didn't. I wanted him to be proud of me. He thought I was lower than trash and maybe I was. Maybe I deserved parents like mine, but Jer didn't. He was a sweet kid and deserved the best.

"You will not talk to me like that Jadelyn August West! Do you understand me?"

"I do." With a push I urged Jer to walk outside. "Doesn't mean I'm gonna listen, Dad." I put emphasis on the last word. "Now I'm going to take Jer to his match. Like a good parent should do. Instead his 'sother' is taking him."

I pushed past my father when I walked out of the door. Jer was already in the car with his sports bag.

"Jadelyn! What the hell is a freaking sother?!"

I twirled around and walked further backwards. "A sister, mother and father in one. For Jer that's me!"

A smiled graced my face when I stepped in my car. I hated driving in the daylight but I wasn't letting that ruin my day. Just like I wasn't giving those sorry excuse of people the chance to ruin my day either. "Put your seatbelt on, munchkin. We're in a hurry."

We drove way too fast and I was sure I would at least get one ticket, but we were on time. And that's all that matters. Jer didn't waste a second and ran out of the car before I even parked it. Smiling I followed him in a more steady pace. I arrived just in time to hear the whistle that signaled the start of the game. My eyes didn't leave Jer for a few minutes. He was playing as enthusiastically as ever. Luckily the talk with our father didn't have any influence on him.

After I was sure of that I started looking around. Beck should be here somewhere but I couldn't spot him. Disappointed I closed my eyes. Of course he wouldn't come, should have known that. My heart was already broken, but it had started to mend. This broken promise shattered it once more.

Someone slung and arm around my shoulders and some of the shattered pieces became whole again.

"You didn't think I would miss this, right?"

I struggled to keep a smile in, he didn't deserve that, but I couldn't keep the twinkle from my eyes when I looked up at him. "First don't touch me, and secondly maybe."

"Sorry." Beck removed his arm from my shoulders. "Did you tell him that I would come?"

"Nope."

"Okay." Before I could stop him he pressed a kiss to my temple. "Go Jer! Keep that ball!"

And he almost deafened me after that, but I'm forgiving him for both, because after he screamed I saw Jer stumble a bit, look at us, and then he smiled a million dollar smile. I've not seen him so happy in a long time.

For twenty minutes we encouraged him to do his best and it felt like we never broke apart. During the half time break Jer came running our way and jumped in Beck's arms, squeezing him to death.

"Beck! I haven't seen you in so long! I thought you broke up with Jade. Are you back together? You are, right?!"

It was almost impossible to follow his ramble but we both did. Our faces must have worn the same expression because Jer's smile faded and he started struggling to get loose. Once Beck put him down he kicked him in the shins, hard.

"Ouch! Jer!"

"You've hurt my sister! Go away! I don't like you anymore!"

"Jer…" I squatted down to his level and pulled him into my arms. "Oh munchkin." I patted his hair. "I'm so sorry. Beck's here because he misses you and I thought you missed him too."

There were tears in his eyes when he looked at me. "But he hurt you!"

"I know sweetie. I know." I stood up with Jer still in my arms. There was no way that I would let him go now. "Let's go to Jet Brew, okay? And after that we're going to do something fun. Just the two of us."

He nodded against my shoulder and I hugged him a little tighter before looking at Beck. "Tell everyone Jer has gotten sick."

I didn't wait for his reaction and just walked away with Jer still wrapped around me as a little monkey.

The next Monday morning I was at school way to early. I was sitting on the hood of my car waiting. Around 8 o'clock the parking lot was filling up slowly, but the truck I was waiting for came around a quarter past 8. I jumped of the hood and walked casually to the truck.

"Jade."

"Beck." We stared at each other for a moment till I scrambled the courage together to open my mouth. "I;m sorry for the way Jer reacted."

It was silent for a moment again. "Don't be." Hesitantly he pushed a lock of hair out of my face. "He was protecting you. I've hurt you and him also."

His chocolate brown eyes were staring in my icy blue ones and I couldn't look away. It was always like this. Once he looked and me like that I was hypnotized.

"I'll make it up to both of you." His palm embraced my cheek and I leaned into it. "I'm going to do everything to make you trust and love me again."

He was my one weak spot. I closed my eyes. "I still love you, Beck, and I probably always will."

"I love you too." I felt him lean in and his lips brushed against mine. "Always have and always will."

Before I could cave I stepped back opening my eyes again. "I'll see you in Sikowitz's class."

Before he could response I stalked away. The rest of the day was uneventful until the end. Apparently Vega, it was always that stuck up bitch, had given Robbie the fantastic idea to make a blog about the life of Hollywood Arts students. That's why at 4 o'clock Rex lost both of his feet. Stupid Robbie should never have posted the blog about Beck, Jer and me with the title 'Is Jade's little brother terrorizing Hollywood Arts most famous couple?'. He totally deserved it if I had ripped his feet of too. But Jake wouldn't let me. Stupid idiots.

"Maybe anger management class is something for you."

Jake was walking me to my car when he said that and I elbowed him in the stomach. "Psychiatrists are just people who couldn't become real doctors, just like dentists. You want me to go to a fake doctor?"

Laughing he opened my car door. "I'm not dignifying that with a response."

"Coward." Grinning I gave him a small peck on the cheeks. "Now go to your date and make sure she gives you her math notes. Although I don't understand why you just don't use mine."

"The hunt, my little girl."

I slapped his hand away when he tried to tap my nose. "Man are al idiots."

"We know. But we still run the world." Before I could hurt him he walked away with a wave. "I can't make a beautiful lady wait!"

Idiot. A real smile graced my face when I stepped into the car. It was nice to have friends like him. That was one positive reason for Beck breaking up with me. When, yes when and not if, we will get back together I won't give them up.
