Jade was more furious than she could have been after the stolen kiss Beck had given her in Sikowitz's class, she just did not know and could not understand what he was thinking. First, he acts as if he does not care about her and like they've never had anything (memory problems, right? fuck) and then his is all "let's kiss because we can", what? If you say that she is really confused, and a little bit hurt for the whole situation could be the euphemistic of the decade.
Talking about the devil: Beck appeared out of nowhere in her hiding place, this was one of the few places that did not contain a small crowd of free-time students between classes and was the place Jade usually isolates herself from the rest of the world when something bothered her and when she and Beck started dating, she soon discovered that this place was also an old acquaintance of his and that he liked to go there when being the "perfect" was too exhausting for him; well, obviously this place was one of the things he did not forget. She sighed inwardly and kept watching him as he sat on the green grass that was on the ground and beside her. Oh God, if he tries anything funny again he will not have enough hair for how many my scissors are able to cut, she murmured to herself.
"Hey." He said as he played with some loose strands of his flannel shirt.
Rolling her eyes, she could not help thinking how he was always the first to raise the white flag in the battles. "Shut up and go away." And people still say she's not kind, I mean, she should cut him to pieces for what he did to her, but no, she's giving him a chance to go and let her deal with her wounds alone.
"I need to talk to you." He sighed and turned to look directly into her blue eyes, which almost made her irritation mask drop and show how much she was apprehensive about what he said. Almost.
"Well, I do not even want to hear your voice anymore. She said irritably as she tried to avoid his gaze. She knew that if she looked directly into his eyes she would see the person she fell in love with a few years ago and only disappoint once more with the person who was with her now.
Cum sigh resignation Beck decided to get right to the point. "I lied." He searched for some reaction in Jade's body language, so he could tune in with her and at least have an idea of what she might be thinking when he said it, but with the exclamation of a sarcastic buzz, she continued as a closed book to him.
"Do not we all?" She wanted to end this strange conversation soon, if they were to stay together, fate would work in their favor, right? She was not a believer in these clichés, but that was what she had and that was what she would cling to move on.
"I've never lost my memory." Jade looked genuinely surprised, forgetting to move on and get over this whole thing. The person she trusted most had lied to her. "I was trying to change and make everything right between us again." He continued as he tried to contain his own tears.
"So, you lied!? Not just for me, but your called friends and your family as well?" Jade did not know what to do, she wanted to attack him, but she also wanted answers.
"If you put it that way, yes." Beck did not know what he was thinking when he did what he did, but the opportunity arose shortly after the accident and when the love of your life is at stake the line between what is right and wrong becomes more and more tenuous.
"Beck, what do you think your friends and family would have done if you had done what you did just to get to you?" She stood up screaming and looking with fierce eyes.
He'd expected this kind of reaction from her, if it was something different he'd worry about it, but even if he could see what he'd done to her and she did not deserve it and he certainly knew that whatever she did to express her anger at him and of the situation would still be little for what he deserved. "I do not know." he answered as he stood with her.
"Yes, you do!" She screamed. "They would have told me that I was crazy and that if they could ever forgive me it would certainly take time. You would make me feel like an idiot and jealous child." Jade was accusing him fervently.
"Stop doing that about just you." He wanted her to see that it was not about Beck or Jade. It was about Beck that was what they were, how they worked.
"And start doing about you? It should be a shock for you, but not everything is how you want it." Jade decided she was going to do what she did best: attack. After all, the best defense is the attack, right?
"We need to do this about us!"
"Us? Dude, you said you were unhappy with our relationship in front of a fucking audience and then you broke up with me with all your friends watching, and through a door ... We have not us since."
"I was wrong, I know." He tried to apologize, but the Jade thing is that she simply does not accept anybody's apologies. Once you hurt her, you go to the list of people she holds a grudge to her char that is enough and that you deserve her forgiveness again. And it takes time, a lot of time usually. "We need to fix things between us, please."
"We? We don't need If you want me back, fight for me, because I'm tired of fighting for you and always being the crazy and jealous girl. So, you have to do things right again. I love you with every inch of my heart and body and I know that I will love you until my last breath. But if you can not act like someone who deserves that love then I think I'm better alone or with someone who loves me at last a half the way I love you. I will forgive you for everything, even the story of my memory, but show me that you're worthy of that big love I have for you and I should give my heart to you again, then I'll give it to you one more time." The tears flowed from the eyes of both teenagers. They did not know what else to do, they were so passionate about each other, but they could not make it all go down in their proper place, so they could be together again and get out of that mess that had turned their lives over the last few months.
"Jade, I'm so sorry. I love you." Beck cried and grabbed the hand of the gothic girl, holding it as if his life depended on that contact.
"I know, I love you too, but sometimes love is not enough to keep two people together."
"I promise it will be all right again." He said and put a small kiss on the forehead, then both went to separate ways.
