Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious, or any of the songs in this. I own only the idea, which was inspired by a song I don't own. So depending on the way you look at it, I might not own the idea either :)

Jade West was sitting in her apartment enjoying a fairly peaceful afternoon. There was the usual small annoyances, but nothing too bad. She flipped on her TV to find nothing good on, so she settled for re-reading one of her favorite books. After an hour or so she started to get hungry. She sat her book down on the coffee table her feet had been resting on and went into her small kitchen.

While looking through her cupboard she saw nothing that looked particularly tasty, but settled for a bowl of Rice Krispies. After adding the milk and a touchof sugar, she sat back down on her couch and turned on some music.

'Childhood living is easy to do

And the things you wanted

I brought them for you

Graceless lady, you know who I am

You know I can't blame you

For sliding through my hands

Wild horses

Couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses

Couldn't drag me away...'

She closed her eyes as she sang along and memories flooded her mind. She remembered a time when she was younger, a time when she was happier. She recalled the hours, days and weeks she spent with her first love. Beckett James Oliver and Jadelyn August West, the 'it' couple of Hollywood Arts. They had been together forever and were expected to grow up and spend the rest of thier lives with one another. Though not many of the other students understood thier relationship, they respected it. Everyone was surprised to find out that not long after graduation, they both went thier separate ways. Jade to New York with Cat, and Beck to the elite performing arts college of LA with Andre. The weeks following had carried a pain that stabbed them both in the heart with the sharp knife of regret everytime the thought of the other passed through thier heads.

There wasn't a day that Jade didn't think about Beck. Nearly every morning when she woke up to find the opposite side of her bed empty, she felt a pang of regret. Though it wasn't as sharp as it used to be (or maybe she had grown numb to the pain) and the wound had healed, the scar remained on her heart. Beck had taken a peice of her her when he left and she knew that no matter how hard she tried, or how much she believed, she would never love anyone the way she loved (and maybe even still loves) Beck. He had broken down her walls and touched parts of her heart that she didn't even know she had. He made her feel a way that she had deemed impossible and had made her believe in love that she swore didn't exist.

Countless times she had picked up the phone and dialed the number she knew by heart, but she never could find the courage to press the call button. She was scared to death that she would find out that he had moved on and forgotten all about her and the strong love they had once shared. It had been so long since they had seen each other or even talked, it seemed impossible to have any sort of relationship with him at all. What could she say? She didn't have a clue. It would be easy for him to find love after they split up. He was friendly, sweet, a gentlemen and God knows he had the looks. He was absolutely perfect. She, on the other hand, was bitter, sarcastic and tended to keep to herself most of the time. While she was certainly beautiful, she didn't see it. When she looked in the mirror what she saw was someone who didn't know where she belonged and had no one to rely on, with ther exception of Cat, her best friend.

However, she occasionally saw herself as she was when she was younger. Troubled, but happy. But of course, the memories of that happier time where accompanied by the thing that actually made her happy. Him. She couldn't help but think that they could have had everything. He had her heart and she had his, but fate played a cruel trick and they both went to the opposite sides of the country.

After finishing her cereal and turning off the music, not wanting to risk the chance of playing another song that reminded her of him, she rinsed her bowl and sat it in the dishwasher. Not wanting to sit back down and resume doing nothing, she decided to go check her mail. She walked down to the lobby of her apartment building and headed for her cubby hole-esque mailbox. After using her key to unlock it, she slipped the contents out and closed the door. She walked back up the stairs, not bothering to look at the mail yet, sure it was only more bills that she would have to scrape up the money to pay.

When she arrived back in her small apartment, she tossed the mail on the counter and poured a cup of coffee. She sipped her cup and saw something odd out of the corner of her eye. Upon closer inspection, the thing that had caught her eye seemed to be an invitation of picked it up and removed it from it's envelope. Her eyes widened and she could have sworn her heart stopped right then and there. The invitation read;

You Are Invited To The Wedding Of:

Beckett James Oliver and Lalaine Ameile Montgomery.

Come Celebrate The Special Occasion With The Couple On October 16, 2017.

Please RSVP: 555-1219

She knew the number as Beck's as it had been engraved into her brain. She didn't know who the girl was, she had never known a LaLaine Montgomery. She stood frozen in her small kitchen at the thought of Beck, her Beck, belonging to someone else. He's not YOUR Beck anymore, she corrected herself. But she still couldn't process the thought of him being married to someone else. Any hope she had ever had deep in the back of her mind vanished.

She knew she had to go to the wedding, there was no way she could just not show up. She knew Beck would be expecting her to be there, and she also knew that she would have to call him, soon, to let him know that she would indeed be coming. She just hoped that, when she did finally muster up the courage to call, his fiance' wouldn't be around.

a/n: Sooooo, whatcha think? I'm actually kinda pleased with this one. I had no idea that it would turn out as well as it did. Are you sort of getting the plot now? I've got a couple of twists planned, but not much else.

I promise to bring in some more of ya'lls uh-mazing OC's in the next chapter. This was just sort of a filler-ish type chapter to kinda give you an idea of what's going on. Again, I love you all so so so much. Like, you have no idea how much I love you guys! (except for maybe my NikkiBear, who I tell all the time how much I love her :D)

I'm going to try to have the next chapter up within a few days, it all depends on how much time I get to write. School is starting tomorrow so I don't know how often I'll be able to write or get online.

Please review and tell me what you think. It would really mean alot to me!

(a few responses/notes)

MusicNinja1010: It doesn't look like I'm going to have any Jori or Cori in here. I'm sorry :/ If you want though, I can try to write one with that for you :)

abcdoll3: are you kinda getting where the plot is going? I tried to make it simple enough to figure out some of the story, but mysterious enough so that you don't know exactly what's going to happen next. :)

EpicNerd: I don't really have a response to anything you said to put here, so I'm just going to say, I LOVE YOU!

New-Classic22: i love you more!

EVERYONE: I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I LOVE YOU! You're all amazing!

P.S.

There are at least 5 songs that inspired this. One is VERY easy, the rest are kinda hidden. Guess 3 of them and you get a virtual Avan !

and really, who wouldn't want thier own virtual Avan Jogia?
