Jade was sitting at the cafe when Beck came over and sat down next to her. She walked away. A few seconds later she got a text. She looked at it and sighed.

Are you mad at me?

Jade sent a text back.

Took you 3 seconds to figure it out- impressive

It was less then a minute later when he sent her a text back.

Why are you mad at me?

She rolled her eyes.

Why do you think? Use your brain and figure it out!

Beck was honestly baffled. It made no sense to him why Jade might be mad.

Did I break your scissors?

She shook her head. Was he really that clueless?

No. Think back to the other day.

Can you be more specific?

Can you be less stupid?

Beck was annoyed. It was okay for Jade to be angry with him but he didn't appreciate her insulting him.

Jade I don't appreciate being called stupid.

Well don't act it and I won't call you it.

Can you at least give me a clue as to what I did?

You KNOW what you did?

Beck realized he would have to play the guessing game.

Is this about the fact that I got mad at you six months ago?

He figured he would start with something ridiculous like that.

No but thank you for reminding me to be pissed about that too.

THAT was totally called for. You humiliated Tori revealing a secret she obviously didn't want revealed.

Jade growled.

Well there wouldn't have been an issue to begin with if you hadn't acted like an idiot.

Beck and Jade had gone back and forth about that a number of times. He couldn't understand why Jade wouldn't forgive him.

Well what else was I supposed to do? Let Tori act stupid?

That wasn't an act!

JADE!

And that wasn't your only option either.

Well I didn't know what else to do. Anyway you're being unreasonable Jade. You're mad at me but you won't tell me why.

You know why.

I don't know why but if you told me why I would know why.

Well I can't believe you don't know why.

Beck took another guess.

Is it because of the 'time out' incident?

That may be closer to the issue at hand.

No. But I am still furious about that too. Who the hell do you think you are to do that?

Well you were making the situation worse. I know you don't like Tori but you didn't have to make her feel so bad"

In the first place I was trying to be empathetic and secondly you aren't my father. You aren't my babysitter. How would you feel if I did that to you?

If I deserved it then it would be fine.

You are always thinking the worst of me. You assume that my intentions are bad. You can never give me credit for trying to be empathetic.

Beck decided to use a little psychology.

Was I holding a gun to your head?

What? No.

Did I threaten to break up with you?

No!

Obviously you knew you deserved it.

EXCUSE ME?

I had no way to make you do it but you did it anyway. You obviously knew you deserved it.

I did not deserve that Beck and you didn't even think about why I might have been happy that VEGA was feeling that way.

Her name is Tori. Stop calling her VEGA like she doesn't have a first name.

SHE'S A SLUT!

She is no such thing.

She kissed you on her second day of Hollywood Arts. I will never forgive her for that.

It wasn't even a real kiss. I didn't feel anything when I was kissing her. She is my friend. I LOVE you.

Yeah. That's why you say we can't be together for a week every time I'm not nice. That's why your love for me is conditioned on the way I act. That's why you don't listen to me when I tell you how I'm feeling. That's why you act like what I say is invalid or I haven't said it at all. That's why you have been acting the way you have Beck because you "love me".

Don't put love me in quotes Jade.

Well I don't feel like you do love me. You haven't been acting like it lately.

I'M TIRED. I'M STRESSED OUT. I HAVE A LOT ON MY MIND. MAYBE IT'S EASY FOR YOU BUT IT ISN'T FOR ME. I WAS ACTING IN THE WAY I THOUGHT WAS BEST.

Easy for me; what drugs have you been shooting up?

"I'm not shooting up anything Jade. I'm being honest. You know what? You think that I don't get it. You're not the only one that has feelings Jade. Your answers aren't necessarily right. You've been totally oblivious lately.

Jade rolled her eyes.

Oh you have got to be kidding. I'm not oblivious. I just have a brain in my head and it works. I'm not going to let someone act like my feelings don't count.

Apology accepted. But you have an extended day.

WHAT! Are you forgetting that I'm me and you're you?

"No and I'm in the mood to get it on"

"Okay I like that. Meet you in the lounge after school and bring your birthday suit with you."

You ended up winning anyway so what's the problem.

IT'S NOT A DAMN GAME BECK

It's insane. This argument is stupid.

I agree

So why are we arguing? You won. Let's just move on.

NO WE HAVE TO DISCUSS THIS.

Look I thought I was right. It just too hard for me Jade. I have a lot on my plate right now. I have a strained relationship with my family. I'm acting in a way that I feel is right. Is it? Maybe not but Jade I didn't have any better ideas and I saw everything unravel. I was scared and overwhelmed.
