your pov
it's Monday, and i'm on the way to school. i had been texting jade all Sunday. I get to school and walk in the doors. I go to my locker and tori is at hers.
"hey y/n!" tori says
"hi tori!" I say back
"i'm having a party at my house Friday wanna come?" tori asks
"yeah of course that sounds fun" I answer
"will you come help set up? also will tell jade?" tori asks
"yeah i'll help and yeah i'll tell jade" I say back
"tell me what?" jade says from behind me
I jump "jesus! you gotta stop doing that!"
"I got to go see ya later y/n, bye jade" tori says walking away
"bye vega" jade says waving to tori as she walks away "tell me what?"
"tell you about the party, and ask if you wanted to come" I tell her
"party where?" she asks
"at tori's" I say as I walk
"yeah i guess, as long as your going"
"I am, and i'm going early to help set up, so come with me to do that"
"yeah okay fine"
"then i can spend the night at your house, and we can go to the full moon jam together!" I say smiling
"yeah," jade smiles back
after the first couple of classes it's lunch time, I go get a salad from festus's truck. then I sit down at the table. everyone is there, I sit down next to jade.
"hey guys!" I say
"hey girl, what took you so long?" andre asks
"I was talking to my songwriting teacher," I answer "I was asking i-."
"hey y/n can I talk to you?" beck asks cutting me off
I turn around and look at him, then i look back at the rest of my friends. they all have unsure looks on there faces especially jade. I see jade about to get up, so I stand up first.
"it's fine, i'll just go talk to him" I say reassuringly to jade she sits back down, I can tell she's mad "yeah, i'll be right back guys, and cat don't touch my salad" I say laughing
I get up, and follow beck inside, the hallways are empty. "what did you want to talk about?"
"I wanted to say sorry.." beck says through gritted teeth
"okay." we stand there for a second
"are you gonna accept my apology?!" he asks getting angry
"sure, yeah, whatever..i'm going back to the table now.." I say awkwardly
"bitch." I hear him mumble
"dude I don't know what I did to you but this bad attitude is not cute." I say turning back around to face him
"you fucking faggot, don't you realize nobody likes you especially not jade. She would never want someone as pathetic and worthless as you. so keep your sticky fingers off of jade, why don't you just leave MY friends alone. I tried to play nice and apologize but you just don't quit do you? you could have just accepted my apology and moved on." beck says angrily
"what the fuck is wrong with you, seriously you need real help. I'll do whatever I want, just stay away from me alright?" I walk away after saying it
"i'll stay away from you when you stay away from jade!" he shouts as I walk away
I choose to ignore it, and walk back to the table. I don't want to tell them what he said, I don't want anymore drama. I'm sure i have and uncomfortable look on my face, and I think everyone can tell.
"what happened," jade asks with a little bit of worry in her voice
"he just apologized, that's all nothing to worry about" I say brushing it off
"there's more to it." jade replies refusing to let me brush it off
"all he did was apologize, that's it." I say hoping she won't keep prying
"no your lying." jade stands up and grabs my hand pulling me away from the table inside and into the janitors closet
"what really happened, don't lie just tell me." she asks surprisingly calm
"I just don't want to cause drama, it's not a big deal really" I say shaking my head
she steps closer, grabbing my hands. I look up into her cold blue eyes. "will you just tell me, I won't do anything crazy, I just want to know." she still has that same calm tone, one I would never expect jade to have.
"okay fine, but promise me you won't do anything crazy" I say giving in
"just tell me."
"no, promise me."
"okay I promise"
I tell her everything he said basically word for word except the part about jade not wanting me, because that parts probably true. I see the softness in her eyes change to rage. This is the most angry I've seen jade in a long time. she stays silent, then turns to walk out the door. I garb her hand I feel her almost pull away but she doesn't.
"you promised!" I say basically pleading
"you think i'm gonna sit here and do nothing after what he said to you!" she screams
"yes! please jade you promised, I don't want any of the fighting. I just want to leave it alone, please just leave it alone."
she takes a deep breath "okay." she says calmly
she takes my hand and interlocks our fingers, we walk to the table silently. When we get there beck is sitting down.
"no way." jade says quietly yet so angrily "go now."
"no way we're all friends, and i already apologized!" He says getting angry and even more angry when he see us holding hands
"really you apologized, why don't you tell everyone what else you said, like when you called y/n a faggot, or worthless or pathetic! when really you are all of those things, and that's why I broke up with you." jade yells knocking beck down a few pegs
now everyone's staring, "jade" I basically whisper
"now how about you go somewhere else because no one at this table want you here especially not me!" jades still yelling
"are you sure they want you here!" beck screams back "because your allowed to do and say whatever you want to everyone and that's okay? but when I do it it's a real problem! Is that it??"
"jade" I say a little bit louder
"fuck you! seriously go somewhere else!" jade demands getting even louder she's squeezing my hand really tight now
"man, just leave, I don't know what's gotten into you but it's not cool." andre tells beck
"yeah you should leave.." cat adds quietly
"fine i'll go, but jade you know i'm right and nobody will ever love you like i did, nobody will ever be able to put up with your bullshit and eventually you'll have no one." beck says as he walks away
jade tries to go after him, but i gently pull her back to stop her. she gives me this look, it's not a very nice look, then she takes a breath. "let's just sit down" I say trying to calm her down but my self too
we sit down and everyone's quiet, cat says something about her brother which strikes up a conversation. I turn to jade and whisper "i'm not going anywhere, I always have your back.." she gives me a small smile but she goes quiet for the rest of lunch.
after lunch, jade gets up and doesn't wait for me. I don't follow her because I don't know what else I could say. I'm walking to class, and andre catches up to me.
"hey you okay?" he asks
"yeah i'm all good, just worried about jade" I say back
"worried about what she's gonna do to beck?" he asks
"no..well yeah but also i'm worried about her, I think what beck said might've hurt her feelings" I say looking around making sure jade isn't around
"you think he hurt jade's feelings?" he ask laughing
"I know you guys think jade doesn't have feeling but she does, she just doesn't show it" I chuckle
the bell rings "see ya later," I say to andre
"okay but you know you can talk to me about anything right?" he says back
"yeah I know" I give him a small smile and walk away
it's finally the end of the day, i've been looking for jade. I go to my locker and I see her at hers, so I go over to her.
"hey jade" nervously she doesn't say hi back she just looks at me. "can I come over later," I ask
"sure." she doesn't say anything else she just walks away she's not mad I can tell in her voice it's something else.
"okay, i'm gonna stop at home real quick then i'll be there"
"okay."
I walk out of the building and drive home. I get home make some food, set my stuff down and leave to head to jades. I get there and open the door.
"oh hi sweetie," jade's mother says startled
"hi, sorry jade said i could just walk in"
"oh no it's fine, I was just leaving, i'm going on a trip" ms. west says walking towards the door
"didn't you just get back from a trip?.." I ask trying not to sound rude, I don't think it worked
"yes i'm going on another." She answers
I see where jade gets her coldness from, she opens the door "well have a good trip" she walks out and doesn't reply
I look around at all the pictures, jade was a smiley baby, but the smile faded when she was about 6 from what i can see in these pictures. I see pictures of her brother, i've never met him, and he's never home i've been at her house a lot. I've never seen him home.
I go upstairs, and knock on jade's door. "what do you want mom!" she yells
"it's me" I say quietly opening the door
"oh hey,"
"your mom left...she didn't say bye" I ask carefully
"well obviously not If I thought it was her."
I chuckle "yeah that was a stupid question"
"you okay?" I ask
she nods, and I got sit next to her. I rest my head on her shoulder.
"do you think what beck said is true" She asks
"no" I say quietly
she scoffs "yeah right"
"no I mean it, your like my best friend, and i'm not going anywhere, and I don't think any of our friends are going anywhere either." I say genuinely
"thanks," she says softly
she takes my hand and holds it, i'm messing with the rings on her fingers.
