AN: So, this was a bit difficult to write. I was supposed to include the play, but it might be too long and people might not read it anymore, so I decided to cut it short.

BECK
"We thought you wouldn't come." Sikowitz remarked as he was handed the script for the play.
Beck took the script from his teacher and replied, "Sorry. The teacher took some of our time after the bell rang."
Sikowitz seemed not to care as he left Beck and went to where Andre, Jade, and Tori were standing.
Beck placed his bag on one of the chairs and followed his teacher.
Sikowitz was giving them an overview of what the play was all about. He stood next to Jade who just sneered at him.
While listening to Sikowitz, Beck decided to flip through the script. He found the story funny. How could an astronaut be narcoleptic?
A smirk appeared in the corner of his mouth. However, this smirk was turned into a frown when he read in the last part of the play that the lead characters would close the play with a kiss?
"So, Jade and Andre would have to kiss?" He blurted out. One could hint a jealousy in his voice.
Sikowitz stopped talking while Andre, Jade, and Tori shot him a look.
"So? It's not as if you were the only one who could perform stage kisses." It was Jade. Her arms crossed, eyes rolled.
Beck glared at her.
"Do we have a problem with that, Mr. Oliver?" Sikowitz asked who was seemed annoyed by Beck's remarks.
Beck realized what had happened. Andre and Jade were actors. Stage kisses were normal. There was nothing wrong with it.
However, a pang of jealousy struck him. He really didn't know why. Maybe he just did not want to see Jade kissing other people. But Jade was no longer his girlfriend, so why would he care?
"Nothing," was all he could muster.
Beck noticed Andre glancing at him. He just nodded as if telling that it was fine. But it was not fine. Beck had noticed that Jade and Andre had been very close lately.
After the briefing, Sikowitz told them to start practicing their lines so that during rehearsals, they would just have to work on the blockings and other stuff.
It was already past 9pm when Sikowitz dismissed them. Beck was walking to the parking lot when he heard someone call his name.
He turned around to where the sound was coming from.
It was Andre.
Andre was breathing heavily as he caught with Beck. "Hey, man." He said.
Beck just looked at him as they walk together to where his car was. "Hey."
"You're just okay with it right?" Andre asked.
Beck placed his stuff in the backseat, "Okay with what?"
He actually knew what Andre was talking about, but he just didn't want to talk about it.
"You know, the kiss." Andre replied, "You know it will be just a stage kiss, right?"
Beck shrugged his shoulders and opened the door of his car, "Of course. Besides, we're broken up, right? So why should I care?"
Andre felt a tinge of pain from what Beck said. Now he was feeling guilty. Jade and he had been keeping each other's company for the past days.
"I gotta go. See ya." Beck said. He inserted the key in the ignition and turned on the engine.
Andre stepped back. He wasn't sure if Beck intended to hit him slightly, be he was sure Beck was reckless as he drove his car in reverse.
During his drive, Beck couldn't understand why he was getting annoyed by Andre's presence. Could he be jealous?
Beck chuckled. He was never jealous.
To take off his mind from whatever it was that bugging him, he turned on the radio.
Seemed like fate was playing a game on him as the radio greeted him with the lyrics.
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say,
I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
It's been days since his breakup with Jade. All the while he thought Jade would come back to him after two or three days. But it had been a week already. And he was missing her badly.
I'm jealous of the nights
That I don't spend with you
I'm wondering who you lay next to
Oh, I'm jealous of the nights
He really did not want to break up with Jade. He was just tired of the fighting. He thought, if she would just let her leave, she'd come running back to him after a few nights of not being together.
I'm jealous of the love
Love that was in here
Gone for someone else to share
Oh, I'm jealous of the love'
And now he would often see Jade with Andre. Smiling, laughing. How could she? That was his. How could he share that with someone else? Worst, how could he share it with Andre, his best friend.
Cause I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
Was it really wrong that he did not open the door? Was he really supposed to run after her girlfriend.. errr.. his ex-girlfriend.
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
As I sink in the sand
Watch you slip through my hands
Oh, as I die here another day, yeah
'Cause all I do is cry behind this smile
Beck pulled the car over as he slammed his hands on the wheel. He was tired of faking his smile. Couldn't Jade see his suffering? Couldn't she just come back to him?
He had been dying inside. He felt like Jade was slipping away from her. Why was she doing this?
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
He was the one who's in heartbreak and misery. He wondered if people could see it. Or was he that good at acting that people didn't notice the tears he would hide behind his smile?
It's hard for me to say,
I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
I-I-It's hard for me to say,
I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
Beck was never a jealous type of guy, but he thought this time, this time, he had to admit. He was jealous of the way Jade was handling their situation.
