While she's gone
Tori Vega strolled across the Oliver's driveway towards the Silver Streak, Beck's RV. The afternoon was humid but bearable, Tori sporting a lilac vest top with a black and white tartan shirt and a pair of black jeans. She walked up to the RV and pressed the door bell. I hope Beck's in, I don't really get enough time to talk to him around school, especially not today, I only saw him at lunch when he passed by to say "Hello" whilst Jade dragged him away to another table… Tori waited as she heard footsteps approach the door. The door to the RV opened but it wasn't Beck who answered. Jade studied her for a moment, looking rather bored.
"Oh Jade I just came over to see Be-"
Jade slammed the door in Tori's face, leaving Tori there mouth agape. She folded her arms and listened as she heard voices from within the RV.
"Who is it?"
"Doesn't matter"
"Jade…"
"It's Tori alright but-"
"Why did you slam the door in her face?"
"Beck I-"
"Jade, step away from the door"
The RV door opened again and this time Beck greeted her with a smile.
"Come in Tori" He exaggerated, gesturing inside whilst watching Jade roll her eyes.
Tori smiled at Beck as she stepped into the RV "Someone has manners"
Jade didn't respond, she sat down with her arms crossed and an irritated expression on her face. Beck gestured to another space where Tori could sit and sat down beside her, Jade noticeably shuffling up closer to Beck's other side.
"So what brings you here Tori" Beck asked.
"Well I thought I'd come round, we don't get much time to talk nowadays…"
"Oh poor you…" Jade drawled sarcastically.
Tori gave her a why, what is your point? expression whilst Beck rolled his eyes subtly suppressing a smile.
"Actually Jade, I had something for you" Tori remembered, digging around in her leather bag.
Jade sat up with mild interest. Beck watched as Tori pulled out an envelope. She leaned across Beck and handed it to Jade who ripped it open carelessly and began to read. She didn't read it aloud so neither Beck nor Tori knew what the letter said. Jade's eyes widened considerably and a smile crawled across her face, getting wider and wider.
"What is it?" Beck inquired.
"It's a message from the principal…I was recommended by the school for a part in this new movie!" Jade explained excitedly, not looking up from the paper as she finished reading.
"Wow, that's incredible!" Tori congratulated with a grin.
Jade's eyes flickered over to her with a smaller smile specially for Tori before it broadened again and she shoved the letter back into the partially destroyed envelope. Jade turned to Beck and grinned.
"This is the opportunity I've always wanted! What I've been working for all this time! I've finally got it Beck!" Jade beamed.
It was the happiest Tori had ever Jade, she was grinning from ear to ear, a genuine burst of happiness across her pale, pierced face.
"That's amazing" Beck leant forward and kissed Jade softly.
But that was when Jade's smile faded, it became sad and she frowned as she pulled away.
"I'm going to be gone for a while though, they're filming down in Texas, it's going to take a few months…" Jade said.
Tori watched as Beck's smile faded too. He let go of Jade's hands that he had held gently as they kissed and he ran a hand through his hair.
"I don't have to go…" Jade began to compromise.
"Jade, this is a big opportunity, you have to go. We'll make it work" Beck smiled.
Jade grinned and pulled him into a kiss again. Tori sat there feeling rather inadequate and even possibly jealous. There Jade was with a great opportunity to be in a real film that would possibly make the big screen along with having an understanding, caring boyfriend who wanted her to live out her dreams. Tori couldn't help it. She had been in several school plays, one in which that had resulted in the play writer coming to see it but nothing really bigger than that. Jade didn't know how lucky she really was.
"I'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon once my mom calls the chaperone" Jade said suddenly a serious expression on her face. "You'll see me off"
"Of course Beck smiled"
Jade then kissed him lightly on the cheek before strutting off out of the door. Beck sighed loudly as he flopped back and looked at Tori. Tori really didn't know what to say, she didn't want to show that she was jealous of Jade right now, what with her new movie role and…
"I'm going to miss her" Beck said simply, putting his hands behind his head.
Tori hesitated for a moment before she smiled gingerly.
"You've still got me"
Tori poked him playfully in the stomach. Beck seemed confused for a second before he grinned crookedly at her.
"I guess I do"
