Forever

Beck Oliver stood the hall way of Hollywood arts, searching around for his girlfriend, jade west. He hadn't seen her all day, and she was supposed to meet up with him this morning to help her finish writing her play. But for some reason, she never showed up, and for the hour he had, he spent it alone. He looked side to side, looking for his girlfriend but she was no where to be seen. Then he spotted his friends cat, Tori and Andre over by the soda machine. He slowly walked over to them.

"Hey beck!" Tori said brightly.

Right now Beck would've been happy to see his best friend in the whole world, he was always happy to see her, but today he wasnt. He was worried.

He faked a small smile. "Hey tor. Hey! Have any of you guys seen jade. She was supposed to be here an hour ago?" Beck asked.

They all shook their heads and looked at him with confusion.

Beck ran a hand through his lusiouc black hair and let out a deep breathe and closed his eyes.

"Ok. Well...thanks for your help guys" beck said before sauntering off to class.

***************

All that day beck waited patiently. Wondering where jade was and why she hadn't came to school today. He wasn't quiet worried, he was just....well...worried. Jade had never missed a day of school. Ever. She always got an award every year for perfect attendance and always made a fuss about getting a trophy. She said it made her seem like a goody two shoes like tori. But jade never showed up.

Once beck had gotten home, he pulled out his phone and dialed her number while plopping himself down on the couch in his living room. A few seconds later Jade answered.

"Beck" she said through the phone.

"Hey babe. Where were you today?" beck asked her.

He waited for an answer but all he heard on the other line was soft sniffles and sobs. Just like it would sound if she were crying. Jade didn't cry. She never cries, she was a scary ball of fire that could make your life a living hell if you messed with her. But...this sound, sounded like a soft and sweet angel crying. Why?

"Babe? Whats wrong" beck asked leaning forward on the couch waiting for her to answer.

"Nothing beck. I-i gotta go. I'll talk to you later. Bye" then she hung up the phone.

Becks face scrunched up in confusion. He thought about calling her back, but instead he left her alone. Not calling back.

'Maybe it's one of those girly days' he thought as he leaned back on the couch and turned on a football game.

"Hey guys! Is Jade back yet?" Beck asked as Tori,Andre and Cat walked into sikowitz classroom and sat down, but once again, they shook their heads, showing that the raven haired girl had not been seen by any of them. Beck sighed and pushed his head into his hands. Everyone looked at each other confused about what was wrong with their friend. They had never seen him this worried.. Tori sat down by Beck while cat and Andre sat opposite of him, she rubbed his back lightly, trying to comfort him.

"Beck? What's wrong?" she asked.

Beck looked up at the half latina and sighed again "It's...it's jade. She hasnt been at school for a week now." he explained.

"So..." andre pushed.

"So...the point is I think something might be wrong. I have this weird feeling in my stomach that just wont leave me alone. I need to see jade and see whats wrong"

"Just..." Andre paused "just give her some time pal, i'm sure she's okay. Just sick or somethin"

Beck wanted to believe that it was true, that she was only only sick. But he had a feeling deep down inside of him that this wasn't just a cold or the flue. It had to be something more. But instead of causing a scene he just gave a weak smile that didn't reach his eyes and said "Yeah. Maybe."
