... tight, this would all disappear. * * *September 5 08:56 pm UCLA- Carroll Library Study room 301 This was the moment. The moment that Freddie was going to be honest with Jade about where he was the night that son of a bitch got killed. Or the moment that she would dump him for keeping the secret. For Jade, honesty had become a huge factor for her since she started dating. She always feared that Beck would leave her, or worse, cheat on her with another girl. Hell, that was the reason she had treated Tori so badly. She could see that he had feelings for her, and sure enough, as soon as he had the chance, he went for her. In front of anyone else, she'd never admit it, but those were the moments that she knew that Tori was her best friend. Jade knew what she was. She was the type of girl who believed everyone would leave her, and she would test them and torture them until they proved her right. With Freddie, it was just… different. Maybe it was the hell he was put through by Sam on a regular basis in Seattle, she thought. But that night at the camp, when she lashed out, attacked, and broke down, he was still there, and more so, he was drawn in even closer. Everything about him, in that moment, just said 'I'm not going to let you fall, no matter how hard you wriggle.' Until recently, he had been everything for her, and made her feel warm and loved and her body and soul screamed for him every moment of the day. But ever since that night he never came to her, she felt so distant from ...
... him, and felt like she did with Beck. So here they were, in a tiny study room with only a few comfy chairs and a heavy table between them. They just sat there looking at their books, not reading or studying, but avoiding acknowledging each other. "I need you to tell me something, Freddie." The broken silence was almost deafening to Freddie as he was visibly shaken by what she said. "Yeah?" "I wanna know where you were that night, but you get mad when I bring it up, so I want to know why you couldn't call me to tell me you weren't coming. I waited in my room for hours. Didn't even sl*ep because I was so worried about you, and you only sent me a 'away from phone' message the next morning. I mean… what the fuck?" "Look, Jade-" "Don't even fucking try that 'look' bullshit." Jade was staring daggers through his skull, and was practically red in the face. "You know as well as I do that it's far too late for an apology. Just tell me the answer!" "Fine. I never meant for you to suffer like that but I did have a reason for not seeing you that night. I had something really important I needed to do, and I wish I could tell you, but I will soon, I promise." Freddie leaned over the table and reached for her hands which she quickly withdrew. "That's it?! That's your excuse?!" "No… I mean," Freddie was stumbling over his words now, knowing he was on thin ice here, "you said it was too late for apologies and I agree. I fucked up royally and I admit that completely. I love you… and I promise ...
