Of rainbows and butterflies.. and compromises

Opposite Date Pt. II (Positively 4th Street)

"Are you really okay?" Beck as her again.

Jade pursed her lips and let out another smile, "Yeah."

Beck couldn't believe Jade did not freak out. Was she really over him? "That's pretty cool." Was all he could say but deep inside him, it wasn't cool.

After Beck got the ointment for his aunt's dog, they waited for Cat to be finished. When Cat got the turtle, the five of them walked out of the animal hospital together.

Beck noticed that the three did not bring any car with them. "Why don't you just hop in, and I'll give all of you a ride." He offered.

Andre looked at Jade who seemed pretty calm about what was happening. Jade nodded at him.

"Okay." Andre agreed.

Andre took the front seat while the three girls sat at the back. The drive could have been awkward if not for Cat.

Beck dropped Tori first, then Cat and Jade, and Andre last. When he arrived at their driveway, as he was about to close the door, he noticed a white folder underneath the passenger seat.

He walked around the car and open the passenger door to check what was it. He realized that it was Andre's music sheet. He took it with him and went straight to his RV.

Inside his RV, he sat on the edge of his bed and started scanning Andre's music sheet. Andre was really great at writing songs.

Andre told him earlier that he was working with Jade on writing a song for one of her classes when Cat called and asked help on her brother's turtle.

Beck went on flipping the pages until he saw one sheet with Jade's name on it.

He froze, for a second, he was dumbfounded.

It was a song for Jade. And Andre had written it long ago when Beck and Jade were still dating.

Beck clenched a fist, he almost tore the music sheet. He couldn't believe that Andre had been harboring romantic feelings for Jade for quite a while.

Was it the reason why he was always around Jade now?

Beck's jealousy and anger must have clouded his thoughts when he found himself driving his car going to Andre's.

He slammed the brakes on his car when he arrived at their driveway. He jumped off of his car, the music sheets in his hand.

He was about to knock on the door when it opened and saw Andre standing in front of him.

Beck's jaw was clenched as he raised the folder leveling it with Andre's eyes.

"Looking for this?" His eyes were burning with anger.

Beck dropped the folder on the ground and grabbed Andre out by the collar of his jacket. When Beck saw the door closed behind his best friend, he then landed a strong punch on Andre's face.

Andre was thrown to the ground. Looking up at Beck, raising both his hands to let Beck know that he did not want to fight.

"Look, Beck. I could explain!"

Beck picked Andre up, grabbing the latter again by the collar. His face was so near Andre that the latter could feel his heavy breathing.

"Explain what? That you've been hitting on my girlfriend behind my back, huh?" He yelled.

Beck's look was piercing. This was the first time that Andre saw him so full of hatred and anger.

Andre held Beck's hand and forced it away from him. "I was not hitting on Jade!" He retorted.
