Jade

She stared at the sandwich on the plate in front of her, not making a move to eat it.

"I don't want to."

Beck sighed. "You were doing so good this morning."

"I don't want to eat this," she repeated, pushing the plate of food away.

"Please, angel."

Dammit.

"Beck..."

He gave her his famous puppy dog eyes, and she let out a sigh.

"Fine. But only because I love you."

He smiled at her answer.

He's turning me soft.

She brought the sandwich to her lips, almost gagging at the smell of turkey making its way to her nose.

"Take a bite," he coaxed softly.

And she did.

She managed to chew and swallow slowly, then she hesitantly took another bite.

Beck's eyes lit up as she was finally eating something. He was ecstatic.

It took forty-five minutes, but she finally managed to eat the whole sandwich without throwing it up.

"You did it!" Beck exclaimed in happiness, immediately lifting her up and kissing her passionately.

She giggled quietly as he set her back down, her arms wrapping around his waist and just hugging him tightly.

"I love you," she mumbled into his chest. "Thank you."

He smiled and kissed her hair. "I love you too, angel."

She quit her job.

She couldn't handle working there any longer, and with her father being in jail, she wasn't forced to work as a stripper anymore.

She was going to find another job, just not one as a devil waitress.

She had told Tori and Cat that she was quiting, and the two girls hugged her tightly, and the goth didn't even bother to object.

"We're still gonna hang out, right?" The Latina asked her hopefully as she wrapped an arm around Cat's shoulders.

Jade nodded. "As much as we can."

Cat squealed. "Yay! Next Saturday?"

The goth chuckled, nodding. "Next Saturday it is."

After exchanging goodbyes, she walked back outside the club, getting inside Beck's car where he waited for her.

"You gonna see em again?"

"Next Saturday," Jade answered, her hand slipping into his as he started driving back home.

"You hungry?"

She felt her stomach rumble, and although she wanted to say no, she nodded.

It was going to take her some time to get used to eating again, but she would keep trying, as much as she could.

He pulled up to the house, both of them going inside.

He pulled out a box of pasta out of the cabinet. "How does this sound? I could make something else if you want."

She shook her head. "That's fine."

He heated up the stove and started cooking, and she wrapped her arms around his waist from behind in affection.

"I love you."

He chuckled lightly and craned his head to kiss her. "And I love you."
