A/N: Let me know what you guys think. Enjoy!

This may be triggering. There's no self-harm or violence or sexual assault (and if that changes I'll let you know before each chapter). But this will explore the dynamics of depression.

Wifi in the Sky

Tori pauses as she sees Beck requesting to chat with her. She figures that Jade probably left and now Beck's being the nice guy he is and wants to finish the project with her, except that when Beck pops up on her screen, Jade is in the background. Wearing a towel.

"Hey, Tori. Do you still need help with the script?"

"Um, yeah." Tori can't rip her eyes from Jade's form.

Beck seems to notice her staring past him because he turns around. "Hey, babe, you're on camera."

Jade barely spares a glance towards the computer. "Whatever."

"So where are you?" Beck asks as he tries to draw Tori's attention back to him.

Tori tries to refocus on Beck. "Right, um, the mom just got sucked into the closet."

"Okay, so what if she ends up in Orge city?"

The next time Tori looks back over to where Jade had been, she finds the spot empty. At least she'll be able to focus now. "I like that."

Tori is starting to feel like they're getting into a good rhythm when Jade appears back on screen with wet hair and black pjs. She curls up and places her head on Beck's thigh. Her eyes flutter shut and one hand curls under his thigh as if he's an actual pillow.

"Tori?" Beck wants to call Tori out, but he also doesn't want to make Jade uncomfortable. She obviously just needs to be with someone right now and pointing out that Tori is watching them like they're a zoo exhibit will only make her feel like she can't be here. "Tori."

"Uh-huh." Beck rolls his eyes as Tori's eyes follow his hand as he runs his fingers through Jade's hair. It took six months for him and Jade to work out how this was supposed to work. He always wanted to know why she was upset and would get frustrated when she said nothing. Then she would get tired of arguing with him and just go home, leaving them in an uncomfortable silence the next day. He knew that it was creating a divide between them, so one day he just didn't ask. And she stayed all night watching movies with him and eating popcorn. Sure, she was a little quiet, but she was also feeding him popcorn and cuddling with him and trying to hide her smile when he whispered all the things he loved about them, as a couple, in her ear. "What page are we on?"

"Um, 9. Just one left." Beck sighs in relief. He doesn't think he can play nice with Tori too much longer.

"Great, so how about they all wake up and it was a dream?" It's the worst ending to a script he can possibly think of, but it will probably eat up a page and Tori can type it up without him. "You don't need me for that, right?"

Tori's mouth hangs open at Beck's abruptness. It kind of feels like he's annoyed with her, but she's never known Beck to be annoyed. "Um, yeah. I can do-" Beck's already left the chat before she can finish.

Cat's New Boyfriend

Beck rolls over and reaches his hand out, hoping to pull Jade closer and nuzzle his head into her neck but her side of the bed is empty. He cracks an eye open and looks around his RV. She's not there. He feels around for his phone.

3:43 am

Where the hell is she? Beck sits up and looks around again, making sure he didn't miss her the first time. "Jade?"

Beck stifles a yawn and scoots to the edge of the bed. He glances over to the bathroom door, but it's wide open and the light is off. Beck glances back to his phone to make sure he didn't miss a text from her saying that she had to go home or something, but there's nothing.

He climbs out of bed. Her phone is missing, its charger abandoned on the floor. Her boots aren't by the couch anymore. But her backpack is still by the door where she'd dropped it after school.

Beck pulls out his phone to call her, but it only rings once before going to voicemail. "Uh, hey babe. Just wondering where you are. Call me back." He feels a little rejected knowing that she rejected his call, but he's more concerned with where the hell she went at 3 am.

let me know you're okay. love you

Beck sits down on the couch and runs his fingers through his hair. There's no way he's going back to sleep before she gets back, so he grabs the remote and turns on the TV.

"Beck." Jade pokes him in the middle of his forehead. "Beck, wake up." She hadn't meant to worry him. She didn't think he'd wake up.

Beck groans as he opens his eyes. He must have fallen asleep watching Law and Order. "Jade?" As the fog clears from his head, he bolts up from the couch. "Jade." He pulls her up and wraps his arms around her. "Jesus, Jade." He kisses her crown. He can feel her fingers knotting into his tank top. He pulls back and scans her body, looking for any sign that she's not okay. Besides her eyes being a little red, he doesn't find anything.

"I'm sorry," she whispers.

Beck pulls her back into his arms. "It's okay," he whispers into her hair. He wants to know why she left and where she was and what time it is, but he's okay with just holding her right now.

Jade leans out of his embrace but grabs his hand when he pouts. "Let's go to bed." Beck nods and lets her lead them over to his twin-sized bed. Jade plugs in her phone and rolls over to snuggle into Beck's side. "There's like 2 hours until we have to get up."

Beck nods as he runs his hand up and down her side. This is their usual position; her head against his chest and her leg thrown over his. But right now, it's not enough for him. "Roll over," he whispers.

Jade looks up at him, afraid he's rejecting her. "Why?" Does he not want to touch her? "Are you mad?"

Beck shakes his head and leans down to kiss her. "I'm not mad." He closes his eyes and holds his forehead against hers. He can feel her staring at him though. "Roll over." This time he moves onto his side so that she's forced to move. She doesn't seem to get what he wants though because she's rolled as close to the edge of the bed as she can get without falling off. He wants to laugh but knows that she wouldn't take it well right now. Instead, he reaches for her and tugs once he finds her hip.

She turns her head back towards him. "What?" She hisses. First, he didn't want to touch her and now he's being handsy.

"Come here," he says patiently. She moves back towards him a few inches, but she's not close enough. Beck scoots forward until his chest is pressed against her back. He winds his arm around her waist and kisses the back of her neck. For a minute, she just lays there, tense but then Beck feels her relax. Seconds later her hand finds his. She interlaces their fingers and brings their hands up to her mouth, kissing his fingers softly. "I love you," he mutters into her neck.

He thinks she might have said it back, but he's already half-asleep, so he can't be sure.
