AN: Finally I'm back, I haven't posted in awhile. It took me forever to write this because a lot of things are going on in my life so please be nice and R/R.
Jade couldn't remember how many times she had walked through the doors of Hollywood Arts, but shehadneve seen so many people staring at her as Beck's arm wound around her waist.
Cat ran up to them, her brigh mocha eyes full of joy.
"Yay, you guys are back together!" she said.
"Yeah," Jade said, smiling at the girl's energetic face. She leaned against Beck and let herself relax against him.
"Hey, Beck," Tori said behind them. Jade fel her muscles tense up again, but Beck rubbed her hand in soothing circular motions.
"Hi, Tori."
"We better go to class!" Cat said, running past them, her bright red hair bouncing behind her.
Jade once again fet that bittersweet feeling as Beck gradually let go of her.
Two classes later,she was still feelin that bittersweet feeling. Wil pssng the janitor's closet to go tolunch she heard an achingly familiar voice drift through the door. "So when ae you going to tell her that?"
Jade froze and backedup. The voice was Tori's.
"I don't think I can tell her," Beck replied. Jade pressed he cheek to the cool wooden door to hear better.
"Well, that's not right," Tori sad.
"It's okay," Beck told her. "I just can't let her go again."
"You really care about her, huh," Tori said. "I'm sorry, I justdidn't think you guys wol get back toethr."
"Me neither," Jade heard Beck say. She unstuck her cheek from the door. "I mean, I love Jade, but she just never let me think that we would be together again."
"But," Tori said slowly, "you're happy now, right?"
"Yeah, but I just don't want to lose her again. I think I care more than she knows. I think she still is kind of mad at me."
"Well,if you need anything you can call me, okay?" Tori said.
"Okay," Beck said, opening the closed closet door as Jade jumped back from it. "Hi," Beck said to her.
"Hey Jade, um see ya," Tori said quickly. The next thing Jade knew they were alone. Jade pushed Beck back into the janitor's cloet, slamming the door.
"What do you mean I'm still mad at you?! And what did you mean you could call her anytime?"
"Jade, I'm not going to call her. She was just being nice," Beck told her in his reasoning voice. "And you can't get mad at me for what I said."
"I'M NOT MAD AT YOU!" Jade shouted. "I just want to know why you were talking to Tori about me, and how I'm still mad at you and how I never let you give me another chance!"
"I never said that! Jade, just let me explain, she was just worried about me-"
"And so you told her she could call you? You told her I was mad at you?"
"Okay, I didn't mean it that way," Beck said. "I was trying to tell her that I love you and I don't want to let go of you again. It was too hard to not be with you."
Jade's face softened, and Beck pulled her to him, kissing her. "Come on, you can't get mad at me for that." Jade smiled at him, but it wasn't until later when she realized that they had had their first fight since they had gotten back together. And somehow, that worked for both of them, that they were back to normal again, that they could completely relax when they were alone. And if that fight was okay with both of them, it would surely be alright in the end.
