"She's has craters you didn't create and darkness you don't deserve. She's as stunning as the moon on a cloudless night, but it may take millennia for her to find and manifest her own internal sunlight."

Beck

She's upset.

Once again, another one of her productions has been shot down due to someone wanting to use the auditorium for some event during the time that she reserved for some type of event, I don't know. I wasn't really paying attention. Jade isn't sure, but she just knows that Tori is somehow behind it.

She really hates Tori. She's had it out for her since the day she transferred to this school.

Me kissing her really didn't help things.

It's so easy to get under her skin. I kinda like making her upset. She's so hard to read unless she's angry. When she's angry, she's easier to read than a Dr. Suess book.

It's why I like hanging out around Tori. She makes Jade so deliciously irritated. Sometimes it does seem like she has it our for Jade. But Tori is kind and sweet, she's really expressive and wants to help everyone out. She's like the anti-Jade and its entertaining to see them interact with one another. Andre says that I'm being a dick to Jade, but he doesn't get it. He doesn't understand. It's how we work. If we wanted something simple and easy, we wouldn't be together.

"Beck, are you even listening to me?!" she screeches as I'm snapped out of my deep thoughts. I look at her angry blue-green eyes, her wavy dark hair in loose coils around her face, her plump lips into an adorable scowl.

"What?! I was listening," it's not the truth but it's not really a lie either.

"No you weren't, you were zoning out!"

"Jade-"

"Unbelievable, here I am, telling you about how that bitch is constantly ruining my life and you're daydreaming-"

"BECK! BECK COME QUICK!" Robbie runs up to us, interrupting what I can assume is about to be a long argument.

"Beat it Toad, we are in the middle of a conversation." Jade snarls at him.

"But it's really important, Cat is stuck in a bike!"

What, how?

"What? How?!" Jade voices my thoughts with disbelief.

"We don't exactly know how it happened, but her hair is tangled up in the gears of a bicycle." I see Jade roll her eyes in my peripheral vision.

"We can finish talking after I help Cat." I told her. Her eyes narrow. I sigh and grab her hand, knowing that she wouldn't follow otherwise. It's not long before we see Cat sitting on the ground outside, screaming bloody murder. Her vibrantly colored hair is caught in the chain and rear cassette of the bike. How on earth did she manage to do that?

"Hey Cat, zip it before I put something gross in your mouth to make you stop screaming," Jade threatens her menacingly. Cat quickly obliges, with only small whimpers escaping her. Jade turns and gives me a self-satisfied smile. I fight the urge to smile back. I get down on my knee and take a good look at the situation. Her hair is really tangled in there tight.

"Do you think you can help?" Cat whimpers. It's going to take a longer time than I really want to put in. But I look into her sweet, brown eyes. So filled with fear, hope and pain. I sigh.

"Yea, it'll take some time, But I can get you out. Let me go grab my toolkit from my car." Cat tries to hug me, but is unable to move much due to her current predicament.

"Seriously? Why not just cut her hair off? I have a pair of scissors right here in my bag." Jade brandishes a long and eerily sharp pair of gold scissors and snips at the air.

Cat screams loudly, and I close my eyes and place my hand over her mouth to stop it.

"We are not going to cut your hair. Jade was just joking," I give Jade a firm look and she sticks her tongue out at me. "I will be able to get you and all of your hair out. Don't worry." I give her a reassuring smile, and I can feel Jade rolling her eyes. Cat smiles as I pat the top of her head and I get up to go to my car.

"You're seriously going to spend 2 hours doing this?" Jade asks, following behind me. "What about play? This is the 3rd time that Vega has done this to me? How am I supposed to build my portfolio for NYU if every single one of my projects are being taken away from me? I could really use your support on this."

"What do you want me to do Jade? Cat is stuck, this is an immediate problem."

"It's a vanity problem, Cat will be adorable with or without hair. This is about my future and about how that at every chance Vega does something to get in my way of being successful."

"For the last time Jade, Tori does not have it out for you." I popped the trunk of my 1967 Pontiac GTO and grab my tool kit.

"Why don't you believe me? Because she bats her eyes, flips her hair and giggles at everything that comes out of your mouth?" She says in a falsetto country voice, mimicking Tori.

"Jade you're being-"

"Beck! Jade! Hey guys, what's going on?"

Speak of the devil.

"Hey Tori and Andre," I give them a half wave.

"What are you two love birds up to?" Tori gives us a goofy look.

"Finish what you were saying Beck. I'm being what?" Jade doesn't even acknowledge them.

"What's going on?" Andre interjects, sensing the weird vibe.

"Nothing, Jade is just being her usual self and I'm going to help detangle Cat from a bike."

"What? How did Cat get tangled in a bike?" Tori asks incredulously.

"She's Cat, the real question is how come it didn't happen sooner than now?" Andre comments. I see Jade's face falter for a quick second and a smile almost breaks through. It happened so quick, I think that I imagined it.

Imaginary or not, I throw my arm around her lazily, but really it's an act of possession. I kiss the top of her head and that seems to calm her down.

Andre doesn't think that I know, but he had a crush on her once upon a time. He's my best friend, and I know that nothing came of it but…

He and Jade has this connection. It's weird. She's never mean or rude to him, and they share a love of singing and making music and…I don't know.

I feel like if it wasn't for me, they would be together.

It's a stupid thought. It's an insecure thought. It's irrational.

Right?

2 hours later and I was able to free Cat's hair from the bike. She throws her arms around me tightly.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou sooooo much Beck! Ahahaha! I'm free!" I smile and hold on to her small frame. Cat is always a breath of fresh air.

"Cat, how did you get your hair stuck in the bike in the first place?" Tori asks.

"Well…I was walking to my scooter when I saw this tiny little baby caterpillar on the ground, and I was like, 'Oh no, a little baby caterpillar. Its all alone and on the ground. It could get squished. So I needed to save it. So I-"

Jade abruptly turns and leaves. No longer wanting to hear the rest of the story.

I give an apologetic look to the rest of our friends and follow behind her.

"Jade, wait up." I call out to her. She doesn't respond and keeps walking away. I catch up to her and pull on her arm. "Didn't you hear me, I said wait."

"I just wasted 2 hours of my life, watching you play Bob the hero to Cat, meanwhile I still don't know what I'm going to do about my play. I'm running out of time to build up my resume. I need to go to NYU, I need to achieve my dreams. And you care about everyone else's bullshit but my own!"

"Jade STOP IT!" I yell at her, moving in front and holding her face steady with my hand, forcing her to look me in the eye. I can see tears welling up behind them, but they won't fall. It really never gets beyond her having a glassy look. But this is enough to tell me how frustrated and upset she is.

"I know how important this is to you. I know what it means to you. You are unbelievably talented, and you work hard and are successful at whatever you do. This is just a setback, but it's not the end of anything. We will figure something out, we always do. You have absolutely nothing to worry about."

"You really think that I'm talented?" her voice is small and quiet. She's being vulnerable.

"You are the singular most talented person that I have ever met." I tell her honestly.

"Even more talented than Vega?" I feel a smile tugging at my lips. She's being such a stinker right now.

"What's Vega? Some new vegan restaurant?" She pushes up on her tiptoes and kisses me gently. I wrap my arms around her and pull her close, keeping one hand on her face and caressing her softness.

When she kisses me, my entire being alights on fire. It's the best thing ever and I never want it to end. Her tongue enters my mouth and slides along mine. Her arm wraps around my neck and I feel her nails against my scalp.

I want more of her. I need more of her. I pull back and I see that the glossiness of her eyes are gone and is replaced with absolute and all consuming lust. This look always gets me.

"Lets get out of here." I tell her, pulling her behind me.

30 minutes later, we are in my RV. She's on top of me in nothing but a black bra and gray boyshorts. I'm so hard, I feel like I'm about to burst. I managed to take off my shirt and pants, but her grinding on me in nothing but my boxers is driving me literally insane. She nips all along my neck and jawline, while her panty clad underwear grinds against me. I'm way too hard and I need some release.

Wrapping an arm around her waist, I flip her so that she's beneath me. I attack her furiously, drowning in her, submitting to the raging ocean that is Jade West. I feel her slip my boxers down, freeing me and positioning me towards her hot, wet, and wanting entrance. I rub up against her and she writes in utter pleasure and ecstasy. I gently entered her, not wanting to hurt her or make her uncomfortable. Small moans escape her as I rub up against her. She bites her lower lip harshly, giving in to my ministrations. I finally entered her and it feels amazing. Its mind numbing and then instinct takes over.

She grips at the bed beneath her, eyes closed and breath erratic. I keep on pushing, loving every fucking second of being inside her. She feels so fucking amazing, and I pick up pace, I grip her arms, knowing that I will red hand marks on her alabaster skin. She bites her lip to keep from making too much noise, knowing that hearing her cries of elation will only fuel me. Making me go harder and harder. She is reaching her tipping point to where she can no longer contain herself.

She releases a guttural sound, her hand gripping the sheets in a tight vice. I can feel the pressure building. I feel the blissful numbness coming on. I'm almost there, Just a little bit more. She wraps her arms tightly around me. She no longer cares about being quiet and contained. She rolls her hips into mine as I pound into her. I can no longer hold back, I move faster as I reach my climax, only have her reach hers at the same time. She feels so fucking good. I can't…I…I'm fucking cumming.

I feel an amazing paralyzing numbness over me.

The small RV is filled without breathless pants. An overwhelming sense of joy and love washes over me as I lean down and place gentle kisses on her forehead. Her eyes are closed, but a smile full of irrevocable joy spreads across her beautiful face.

"I love you Jade," I whisper to her, as I mirror her smile.

Instead of saying it back to me, she opens her beautiful blue-green eyes and gives me the sweetest kiss on my lips. It's her way of saying that she loves me too.

This girl is my everything. I will never stop loving her.
