Beck followed his grump of a fiancée up their apartment steps, swinging the keys around his finger, "Babe, it's not that bad." He tried to say, unlocking their front door.

Jade just shoved past him with a grimace, crossing her arms, "He can't be serious, can he?"

The two had just returned from her therapy session, and Jade was not exactly thrilled about a certain suggestion that Theodore had made to her earlier. Her therapist had suggested that in order to lower Jade's anxiety about their wedding (in other words, her anxiety about their upcoming relationship as husband and wife, as Jade had admitted in therapy she felt nervous about being a wife in general), maybe giving relationship advice again (actually giving it this time, not arguing only to make out right after) might prove to her that she's ready to be a wife to Beck. Jade had simply let the topic go with a non-to-sure maybe and an eye roll, but it was obvious by her behavior in the car on the ride home (grunting and whining), that she felt tons of hatred for that particular segment….

Beck simply walked past her, not giving any attention to her slight tantrum, and tossed his keys on the counter. He sat on the stool, "Jade," He started off with a blunt tone, "as I see it, you have two choices here!"

Jade let out another groan, marching over to the fridge. She pulled the fridge door open and grabbed herself and Beck a water bottle.

"Here?" She stated, clearly annoyed.

Beck gave her annoyance no thought, but took the water from her. "You can either do the segment and we'll be doing it together," He paused, unscrewing the cap off to take a sip of water (What? It was 100 degrees outside, and honestly as much as he loved Jade, he was so fed up with her obnoxious behavior towards Theodore), "or go against Theodore; a man who has only tried his hardest to help you for three years, and not do the dang segment and suffer from your anxiety some more!" He was almost screaming at her, but choosing instead to just raise his voice at the last minute.

Beck hated screaming at Jade for anything…even when he knew she downright deserved it…

Then there was silence, along with a nervous gulp from Jade, and a slight "tsk-tsk" from Beck, following straight after.

The silence lasted a moment longer, before Jade finally whispered in surrender, "Alright, let's do the segment then."

Beck's brown eyes immediately grew softer. "This is pretty big of you, bade." He smiled at her, moving his hand over to squeeze her shoulder. "I'm proud of you, my beautiful fiancé."

Jade shoved his shoulder because of his cheesiness, but her grin was definitely noticeable. She would never admit it, especially to him, but she loved when Beck was proud of her. At the same time though, Jade feels extremely ashamed whenever he's disappointed with her, which is the sole reason why she gave in.

Jade knew he would have been disappointed, and definitely pissed off too, if she had refused…

She could normally handle his anger pretty well. If he screamed, she just screamed right back…even louder, but his disappointment was a lot harder for her to handle because he doesn't even scream at her when he's disappointed with her. Beck doesn't say anything to her when he's disappointed with her.

Tori had just set the milk in the fridge (her last grocery item after about twenty minutes of closing cupboards, shuffling through the last of the "FoodMart" bags, and mumbling about her being almost broke) when she heard her phone vibrate on the kitchen counter.

She closed the fridge, and walked over to her phone. Tapping the black screen, she grinned when she saw it was a text from one of her best friends, Beck.

So therapy with Theodore & Jade was definitely…interesting.

Tori laughed, amused.

What? Hearing about Jade's antics always amused her …so long as they didn't cause her any type of pain, which they haven't for quite a while now. She and Jade have been getting along pretty well since after freshman year at Julliard…

Fine! Maybe it was because Jade had started her therapy around then, but so what? Their friendship still got better, and that's what mattered.

Everything is 'interesting' when our dear Jade is involved. Haha. How so tho?

After sending a quick response back, Tori grabbed a snack off the counter (her cracker jacks), and walked over to relax on her couch. What? Cracker Jacks might be so old, but they still have that completely delicious and crunchy taste to them. Besides, it's one of her favorite pastime snacks. Just as she got situated on the couch to relax though, her phone vibrated in her hand again.

Let's just say Theodore kindly presented Jade and I with a suggestion. You know that old relationship advice segment that Jade and I used to do on TheSlap?

Tori rolled her eyes at his question, popping a caramel covered kernel in her mouth.

How could she have forgotten about those videos? However, it could hardly be called a relationship advice segment though. Cause' if she was being honest with herself, it was more of a "Bicker with Bade" segment.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I kind of remember a couple arguing on TheSlap though, claiming to be giving 'relationship advice'. Was that U & Jade?

Tori chuckled after pressing send. She just knew Beck was in the middle of an eye roll. And if Jade was beside him (which she most-likely was), she was probably glaring, pouting, or both. Yeah, probably both.

Her phone vibrated again.

She let out another chuckle.

It was Jade. Of course.

Shut UR mouth, Vega. Look, I tried saying no, but he persisted. And by him, I mean Theodore. So I snapped at him, then Beck got mad, & now we're starting up the dang segment again ok. I…I just…I just didn't want him to be disappointed with me. I H8 it when he's disappointed with me. U know that!

Tori sighed. Of course she knew that! She knew Jade pretty dang well now! She figured out Jade's façade…oh wow…a good few years back. So, she knew. If anyone could make Jade feel even the slightest bit guilty, it was Beck. It anyone could make Jade cry, it was Beck.

If anyone could make Jade feel any type of emotions, it was always Beck.

Still though, this was either going to go extremely good, or extremely bad. She just hoped to god that it wasn't going to damage their future in the long run.

Only time would tell, she guessed.

Jade, just be careful. Don't let this damage UR relationship in the long run. I don't need a sobbing Jade with another broken kite, pounding on my door at midnight again ok. You know I love ya, but that would just bring another round of weird for the both of us, right? So, be honest with him…even if he's disappointed after. Beck loves you, Jade. He'll understand.

It was true. Tori did love Jade. She loved her like a sister, even if Jade scoffed at that. And she would feel so incredibly bad for her if Jade lost Beck just because of some stupid segment gone wrong.

Look, I have to agree. Besides, a segment isn't going to ruin us. You couldn't when you kissed Beck at HA, so a segment definitely won't.

Tori flinched.

I just hope you know what you're doing, Jade.

I do, I think.
