"It's a little too late for that wish, Meredith" Jade suddenly said as she stepped out of the curtain and Meredith turned to her shocked.

"Jade…how long have you been there?" She asked nervously.

"Enough to know you are a lying bitch and a slut but that's no news, is it?" Jade asked. "For your information, I remember everything now"

"This was a trap" Meredith said to Beck and he smiled victoriously.

"I knew you wouldn't admit it to her face but you would do it to mine" Beck commented and she sighed upset.

"You are pathetic" Jade said coldly.

"And you are the same bitch you were before, I think I like your lost persona better" She responded and Jade shrugged smiling cynically.

"You know when I like you the most? When you're not here" Jade commented. "So why don't you get out before you lose the chance to? You lying bitch" she added coldly and Meredith stared at her nervously because she was intimidating. "NOW!" She screamed and the girl rushed out of the theatre while Beck smiled satisfied.

"I've missed you" He said sincerely and she sighed as she stared at him.

"I'm…I'm sorry" Jade said as she looked to the side because she didn't like to admit it.

"You are sorry? Is this Jade?" Beck asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Don't spoil it" She responded. "Yes, I am sorry…I should have believed you BUT you have to admit I was right to be angry, I thought you'd cheated" She added and Beck laughed a little as he nodded.

"Yes, you did…that night was a mistake, all of it and the days before…just everything, I was a jerk to you" Beck admitted. "I didn't think about how hard it was for you and overreacted, I said many things I regret"

"I know" Jade said and he sighed as he stepped closer to her. "I'm also sorry that I got angry with you for refusing to sleep with me, it was…silly" She added and he laughed.

"Yes, it was…that honestly caught me off guard" Beck confessed.

"Believe it or not, it made sense to me back then…" Jade said and laughed but then her smile slowly dropped. "I really wanted to feel a real connection to another person and Alex had taught me that sex was the way"

"I know but that's in the past" Beck said and stroked her cheek sweetly. "Now you only need to worry about catching up because you're pretty left behind in our classes" he said and she smiled.

"Please, I'll do it before you know it" Jade responded in a cocky tone so he smiled at her, it was so good to finally have her back.

"So Jade, do you want to be my girlfriend again? Are we back? I don't know, this is confusing" Beck said awkwardly and she thought about it.

"Listen, I…I don't know, Beck, I don't know if I can just forget everything you said" Jade admitted sincerely and stepped back. "I'm sorry"

"No, I'm sorry I really am, you have to believe me…I was wrong" He affirmed.

"I know you were and that's the problem, you got mad and said many things to me…things I still can't forget" Jade said trying to push the tears back but they were showing anyway. "Listen, what I'm trying to say is that I don't really know what to think about you after that, I don't think a person who loves another person would be capable of being so cruel" she admitted with a couple of tears streaming down her cheeks but she quickly wiped them away.

"Jade…" He said sadly.

"I didn't know you a lot back then but I remember thinking you couldn't possibly love me, not after I saw the way you looked at me and the disgust in your words when you called me Annabelle…I, I felt guilty for what I'd done, I felt you were right to despise me and I know it's wrong because I had no choice but that didn't make any difference to me, I just wanted to disappear" Jade commented and looked to the side because more tears were coming out of her eyes. "And now that I remember you, I can tell you this…I don't recognize the man from that night, I just don't, the Beck I know would have never blamed me for what happened, he would have never yelled at me the way you did, you're just…not the person I thought you were" she confessed and Beck stared at her with tears in his eyes as well.

"I'm sorry" He said sincerely and shrugged trying to find words. "You're absolutely right, I can't tell you otherwise because I know it's the truth and I could never say sorry enough to make up for it, I hurt you a lot and I…I don't know, Jade, I don't know what to say, only that I'm sorry for everything"

"So we are good" Jade simply said and tried to turn around but he grabbed her hand.

"No, please don't go away" He demanded and she turned to him again.

"What? What are you gonna say? That you love me and that you don't care that I was a prostitute for months and that I left with another man? That you don't despise me? How many more lies?" Jade asked upset.

"None, what I feel is not a lie" He affirmed. "Look at me, look at me and tell me you think I despise you" He demanded and she looked at him trying to stay strong. "I love you, Jade, I always have and I haven't had a day of peace since the day we left you in Yerba, I was an idiot for what the way I acted and what I said but none of it was true, this is" Beck said as he held her hand to put it on his chest so she would feel his J necklace.

"Stop" Jade whispered and tried to look away but he grabbed her chin gently to make her face him.

"No, I need you to understand that I love you more than you can imagine and I'm sorry that I disappointed you, I'm sorry that I hurt you…I will never forgive myself for it but I hope you can, I hope you can because I need you" He said with tears streaming down his face and she stared at him sadly.

"I…I don't know" Jade said and he held her face sweetly.

"Please just give me a chance, let me show you that I mean this…let me make up for what I did" Beck said and she sighed, she loved him but she felt very insecure and she was still disappointed in him. "I love you, Jade, I really do"

"I am not the same person you remember" Jade affirmed.

"You are enough, you are you and I love you no matter what" He affirmed and she thought about it. "Just give me a chance"

"Maybe we could try" Jade responded and he smiled. That was enough for him, he was determined to show her how much he loved her. Beck and Jade indeed started hanging out together again, he was very happy and she was too but she didn't feel entirely comfortable just yet, it'd been a few months but she sometimes felt he was lying when he said he loved her and she tried to fight those thoughts but Alex's voice in her head remained her biggest tormentor.

"Come in" Beck said as he and Jade walked into his RV and she looked around.

"It's been so long since the last time I was here…as me" Jade commented and he nodded.

"I know, I missed these moments" He said as she walked around touching everything, just contemplating her past in it. "I'm gonna go get our pizza, I'll be back" Beck left the RV and Jade opened his closet, she saw he still had some of her clothes there and smiled. She decided to play around a little and took her shirt off to put on one of his, she had always liked them so she chose one and put it on.

Jade stared at herself in the mirror and smiled but then she slowly turned to the side and moved the fabric off to see the scar on her low back. Annabelle, it was less intense than before but it was still very noticeable and it made her remember the worst months of her life.

"Someone looks good" Beck said as he walked back inside and she turned to him so he saw she had a few tears streaming down her cheeks. "Hey, what's the matter?" He asked as he left the pizza on the table and then saw the reflection of her scar in the mirror behind her.

"Nothing" Jade said and wiped the tears away.

"You know you can trust me, right?" Beck said and she looked down. "That scar means nothing"

"It means a lot, Beck, it means a part of my life that I will never forget" Jade said as more tears came out of her eyes. "Alex made sure to leave a mark that could never be erased, it's not only about the scar"

"That man and all the others are in prison now and you're here to rebuild your life" Beck responded.

"All of them?" Jade asked and shook her head. "It could never be all of them, I don't even remember them myself" she said and closed her eyes in frustration and shame.

"Don't think about it" Beck said.

"I think about it every day" Jade informed. "I hear Alex's voice talking to me, I remember what he made me do, I can't help it"

"He is paying for it" Beck repeated.

"I know but that doesn't erase the damage, does it?" She responded and looked down. "Are you sure about this, Beck? I mean….us, I am not the same girl I was before Yerba"

"I love you Jade, of course I'm sure about this" Beck affirmed and she sighed sadly. "What's the matter? You are not sure?" he asked and she looked at him mortified.

"It's not that, I just feel…I feel that you might not be so happy with me and I don't want you to feel compromised" Jade said sincerely and he smiled as he held her face sweetly.

"Don't be silly, if I weren't happy with you I would say it" Beck responded. "I know you feel different and you must think I do too but it's not the case, I care about you and I love you, I'm happy in this relationship"

"So you don't care AT ALL that I was a prostitute for months?" Jade asked coldly to see his reaction.

"No, I don't and you know why? Because you didn't choose it and I'm not stupid enough to blame you for that" Beck affirmed seriously and she stared at him slightly surprised because he hadn't even hesitated. "You are worth as much as you were before that trip, nothing has changed for me"

"I believe you" She said sincerely and gave him a little smile. "The pizza is gonna get cold" she commented and he nodded so they sat down and started eating while watching a movie.

More time went by and one day they were in his RV again, they had just finished watching the scissoring and they were snuggling on the bed. Beck was just hugging her and feeling at peace but then she turned to him. "Hey…" he said smiling sweetly and gave her a little kiss.

"I'm ready" Jade said and he stared at her confused. "I'm ready to make love" she informed and he looked at her surprised.

"No, no it's okay Jade, you don't have to do it for me" Beck affirmed. "Please don't feel pressure, I don't need sex to be happy with you"

"I know, it's not for you…it's for me" Jade responded and sighed. "I know this may sound strange to you but I want sex to have a meaning again, I need it…I need to stop feeling like it is painful and sad"

"I don't know…" Beck said unsure, he didn't want her to feel bad in any way.

"The first time I had sex after you I was locked up in a car in a dark alley and I couldn't stop crying, it was painful and horrible and I felt incredibly impotent and the last time I did it I was drugged so I barely remember but I know it was a sad experience as well" Jade commented. "It used to be so nice before we left to Yerba…I remember, I remember it made me feel I was in heaven, I felt safe and happy and I don't want to think about sex and feel what I felt in that hotel when I was tied up or what I felt when I was in that car begging for mercy" she explained with a tear streaming down her face and he stroked her cheek.

"Are you sure about this?" Beck asked and she nodded.

"Yes, I want to feel what I felt before, I want that memory to be in my head instead of all the other horrible ones" Jade responded. "I love you and I trust you"

"Jade…" He said not knowing what to do.

"Please" She insisted and he sighed.

"Okay…" Beck said and she nodded so he started kissing her softly, they did that for a few minutes and then he started taking her shirt off, she did the same with his and they continued kissing. Beck took his time and made sure to treat her nicely in every step of the way, he was soft and he took care of her the whole time.

They made love and Jade closed her eyes as she lived the moment, at first she was nervous but as time went by she felt more and more comfortable; that was exactly what she needed, he made her feel safe, protected and happy. Jade could finally experience what love felt like in sex after all that time, she felt his lips on her body, his hands holding hers and she felt she was in heaven.

When they were done they simply stayed in bed staring at the ceiling, her head rested on his chest and he was playing with her hair. "Thank you…" Jade said breaking their peaceful silence and she rolled over a little to face him. "Thank you for this" she said and he smiled.

"You don't need to thank me" Beck said and gave her a little kiss "I know that even if you deny it you were nervous but you trusted me" He added. "I hope this was what you expected"

"It was better, I didn't remember how good it feels" Jade commented and he smiled at her as he stroked he head. "Tell me that you love me" she demanded sweetly and he chuckled.

"Magic word?" He demanded and she rolled her eyes smiling.

"Please"

"I love you" Beck said and she smiled happily.

"I love you too"

Beck and Jade remained together and she continued her process of healing after the horrible year she'd had. Therapy was really helping her and she was just happy to be back home, Annabelle had been a dark painful period in her life but she was willing to grow out of it. In the end she wasn't alone, she had her parents, her friends which included Maria and the girls and she had Beck, he was there to remind her she had a chance to be happy.

Jade experienced many losses in that time; she lost her memory, she lost her life, her friends, her boyfriend and her freedom. She had almost lost herself to Annabelle, a sad twisted lie she had been made to believe and who had been close to ruining her entire life. However, Jade was back, not only in her home and in Hollywood Arts but also back in her true self; Annabelle would forever remain an important episode of her life, a part of herself but she would no longer be in control.
