*Jade's POV*
I lay in bed beside Beck, he's asleep now so I'm just watching him, his chest rising and falling beneath my hand which is rested on it, the hand that holds the beautiful ring he had given me along with the promise to be mine forever. We're both naked, as soon as we got back to the RV we couldn't keep our hands off of each other, spending the whole night both overwhelmed with complete pleasure then spending our Sunday the same way, relaxing and watching movies then getting too carried away during a make out session. And now here we are again, my head laying on one of his arms, his fingers placed delicately in my hair in the same place he had been running his fingers through it until he fell asleep. The moon comes through the window and shines on Beck's chest - shines on my ring - making my engagement ring sparkle. My engagement ring! I'm actually engaged to Beck, I can't believe it. I smile to myself before hugging into him a little more and burying my head into the crook of his neck, slowly drifting off into a blissful sleep.

The next morning is Monday and I wake up to Beck's alarm, he's about to hit it off when I reach other and grab it and throws it across the room. He mumbles under his breath "every damn morning."
I roll my eyes then slowly sits up and runs my fingers through my hair as I try to wake myself up before crawling over him and getting out of the bed, pulling one of his t shirts over me then heading into the bathroom to brush my teeth.
Once I'm done, Beck goes in as there is only space for one of us at a time. I get dressed and ready for school, putting one of Beck's flannel shirts over my tank top along with a black skirt and tights with my combat boots. As soon as I'm dressed I sit down on the bed and goes on my phone, replying to all of the texts that Cat had sent me over the weekend asking what I was up to and where I was, having to give a reply to each one in a paragraph to save myself from having her ask it again, needing every question to be answered before she'll leave me the hell alone. I lay back on the bed and plays with my ring using my thumb then I sit up and looks over at Beck as he comes out of the bathroom to get dressed, I just watch him as he grabs his clothes and begins getting dressed for the day. He's so hot. Sometimes I can't actually believe someone that hot is dating me, then I remember that I'm hot too so it all adds up... at least I think that occasionally, I don't often tell myself that I'm hot and good enough for Beck, I tell myself quite the opposite but that's another story. As soon as both of us are finally dressed and Beck has eaten his breakfast, we leave in his truck for school and I just sit silently, sipping the coffee he made me. It's a comfortable silence, we don't need to talk, we just enjoy each other's presence and that's enough. Music playing through the radio on low volume is the only noise that breaks the silence of our early morning drive.
I don't want to be here really at all, I just want to lay around in Beck's RV all day with him, we don't even have to be doing anything, I could spend all day just laying in bed with him, my head on his chest, listening to the soft rhythm of his heartbeat. That's how I know we're meant for each other, we could do such boring, stupid things like that and love it more than anything. After getting out of the truck, I meet Beck at his side and he kisses my cheek, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. We don't even reach the food truck when Cat has ran up to us, asking where we were yesterday and why we didn't answer when she called us but Beck just gives her a simple "we were just a little busy Cat." and she, thankfully, stops asking questions, Beck of course had sensed that I was quickly losing my patience with her.

Everyone arrives at school before the bell goes but none of us talk much until we're in class and we all sit in our chairs awaiting sikowitz's, most likely unusual, arrival. I'm sitting near the window so of course Tori notices the new addition to my finger as I bite my nails.
"Hey Jade, that a new ring?" She asks curiously, though she looks at Beck with a little smirk, looking like she knows something but I don't care to ask what as I just nod and squeezes Beck's hand making him smile.
"Beck and I got engaged." I state, quite proudly, very proudly actually, Beck and I are engaged, what's not to be happy about?! I love him and he loves me and we're getting married! Not soon of course, we want to finish high school and college before even thinking about starting to plan the wedding, both of us are agreed on that and are perfectly fine with it because it's what we both want and it'll give us time to actually make money and be able to afford a beautiful wedding, not that I really care all that much about having a big white wedding, if it were up to me we'd just go to the court house and get married without the need for any celebration but I know Beck's family want their son to have an amazing wedding to a great girl, of course not thinking I will be that girl their son will be marrying... not even knowing we're engaged just yet.
Everyone shares their excitement about the engagement, Beck thanking them all on behalf of of us both because he knows I hate all of that soppy stuff already even though it hasn't even really started.
As soon as Sikowitz bursts into the room, Cat jumps out of her seat, announcing Beck and I's engagement, causing him to give us a congratulations though he looks at Beck and just simply says "good look." which makes everyone laugh including Beck, which makes me hit him to shut him up.
That makes me laugh, I love Beck so much, his laugh brings a smile to my face and even makes me blush sometimes if he laughs at something I say which he does many times today, laughing at my sarcastic comments towards teachers as well as to Tori which he never does, he's like a little love sick puppy which makes me sick but I also love it because I'm just the same, I'm head over heels I love with him, more than you could ever imagine.
We all sit around our usual table at lunch and talk about random things, Cat obviously trying to bring up the topic of our wedding multiple times your I shut her down each time, handing her a book to colour in.
"So your parents, you told them about the engagement?" Robbie asks; Beck and I sighing in unison as soon as the question is asked.
"No, I haven't told my parents yet but it's only been two days we're going to tell them soon." Beck replies and I nod.
"Why don't we tell them tonight? It's your family dinner right?" I ask, Beck nods. "Well I'll come and we'll tell them."
Beck just looks down, not saying anything but not being very excited about the idea either. Everyone looks at him.
"Beck?" Tori asks, curious as to what he's thinking.
He soon looks up and shakes his head.
"Not tonight, you know how my dad is, I don't know whether tonight is great. Soon, but not tonight."
I look at him curiously
"Don't you want them to know that their son is engaged?" Andre probes, Beck only scratches the back of his neck and shrugs.
"Excuse me?! Why don't you want to tell your parents?" I'm getting a little annoyed now, slightly upset too. I know his parents aren't too fond of me but surely he doesn't care, he didn't care about their opinions when we were just dating, why should he care about their opinions on the engagement. "Beck if you're embarrassed of me just tell me. What so you wanted to propose but you don't want to tell your parents that you're engaged to me, the girl you didn't care about their opinions on, why do you care now?!"
"Jade it's not the same with an engagement." He tries to explain.
"Not the same how?! I'm still me! The same girl, or did you not realise that?! You know what, whatever, I don't want you to talk to me until you make your decision." And with that I get up and walk away, hearing Beck's half hearted attempts to get me back with his "Jade, baby." but I don't listen, why should I. If he doesn't want to tell his parents about his engagement then why propose to me?! Why?! Whatever. I'm over it and I'm over him being scared of his parents. Maybe I shouldn't even be engaged to Beck if his heart isn't in it. What if the relationship was just a whole mistake? What if he doesn't love me the way he's always promised he does. Beck is always so confident, not caring and arguing against his parents views on me...
I guess we'll see what he says. But he knows I'm not one for waiting and no matter how much I love him, I'm not waiting for him to decide whether he loves me the same or not.
