Her legs were curled tightly to her chest using the balls of her feet to slightly rock her back and forth. She had always laughed at these girls. The one's who insisted on putting labels on things, saying "I love you" and falling at mercy at their boyfriends then, realizing how stupid they were once the person they 'loved' broke their heart.

She had built up walls so high, so tall, that no one, no one except Beck could break down. And why had he been able to break them down? Because without knowing it, she had become one of those stupid, stupid hopeless girls and oh, didn't she hate herself for it.

If you saw her right now, the hopeless, miserable person she was being, you would either laugh or run to the nearest doctor because this wasn't Jade. This wasn't Jade at all.

Jade wasn't the girl who cried over something so stupid like a boy. She was the girl that fought for what she wanted with a passion but just this one time, she knew she couldn't fight. That moment when Tori Vega had been rubbing her boyfriend, she had known that it was a lost hope. Not just because she was rubbing him in innocent places though, but the fact that he hadn't tried to stop her. The fact that maybe, just maybe, he had enjoyed it.

She hadn't fought hard enough though because look at her. Look at little Miss Jade West home alone on a Saturday night. How pathetic.

When he had broken up with her, when he had broken up with her in maybe twenty seconds, she didn't fight him. She didn't chase after him or yell his name begging him to come back because right then, she knew she lost this fight a long time ago.

The way he looked into Tori's eyes no matter how ugly she looked with that zombie face painted on her was clear. Clear that those weeks when Tori was here, she had already lost him. It had all been a stupid lie she talked herself into believing.

Then that finale moment, his arms wrapped around her small, teeny tiny waist and the passion he had staring back into her eyes hurt the most. Jade had wanted to run off stage and just break down on those steps because it wasn't worth it anymore.

It wasn't worth the fight or the hurt or the sorrow that she had been through just to keep some image up. Maybe if she was a little nicer, a little better…A little more like Tori, he would've kept her because….well, because she would've been like Tori.
