YES, new story! Don't get me wrong, I will update the others! I just had this in my head for a while! Here we gooooo…
This is dedicated to… ohsnapitzJess for being an AMAZING writer.
Summary: AU; Dad called it my 'new home.' I shrugged, not thinking too much of it... even though I knew I'd be here for a long time. When I saw the girl sitting on the swing by the front door, my first thought was, "Maybe this place won't be so bad." Bade, slight Candre
Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious. If I did… it would be BADE all day, erryday.
Beck's POV
Dad didn't say much. He just said that he and Mom were going on vacation for a long time. I stared out the window and gazed at the place that Dad called my "new home… for now anyway." I shrugged, not thinking too much of it. I'm gonna be here for a long time… I can tell by the amount of stuff they're bringing with them. I might be six, but I'm not stupid. "Here we are, Beckett, Happy Smiles Orff-" The only reason he stopped was because he started kissing Mom's palm. Gross.
"Happy Smiles, Beckett. Happy Smiles. Let's go in," she smiled. I shrugged again and placed my Toy Legend backpack on my shoulders. I jumped up all the steps until we got to the front door. A lady with a creepy smile, big hair, and a weird dress answered the door. "Good morning," Mom smiled.
The creepy lady checked her watch. "It's 12:01. It's afternoon. Next time you decide to greet me, please make it in the proper timeframe," she glared. Mom looked uncomfortable, I won't deny that. Instead of making a reply, she shoved me in front of her. "Ah, is this Beckett?" She shot me a toothy grin… well she tried; this lady was missing a couple teeth.
I nodded. "Can we hurry this up, please? We have a flight to catch," Dad argued. I rolled my eyes and heard a creaking noise. I realized that we weren't alone on the front porch. Three other kids were sitting on the bench: one boy, two girls. The creepy lady glared at the three of them.
"What did I tell you children about eavesdropping?" she yelled. The shortest one, the girl with straight brown hair, winced and ran away almost in tears. The boy went after her. The last girl, the one with the wavy brown hair and bright blue eyes stayed. "Jadelyn, I am warning you!" she demanded.
Jadelyn? That's a pretty name. I smiled and walked over to her. "Hi, I'm Beckett," I told her. She looked at me and smiled back.
"Jadelyn," she stuck out her hand for me to shake, which I did. "I'm going to call you 'Beck.' Beckett is too long," she laughed as she blew her hair away from her eyes.
"Then I'll call you… Jade! It's a pretty color! And you're pretty, so it works!" I smiled. She shrugged. "What? You don't like your nickname?" I asked. She was looking over my shoulder at that creepy lady. "She looks mad…" I whispered.
"Come over to me, Andre, and Cat when I say… 143?" she whispered. I nodded, secretly celebrating that she wanted to talk to me again.
"Jadelyn," she said between clenched teeth, "go to the backyard with Catrina and Andre and wait 'til I come get you." She nodded, glanced at me, and walked into the house. Scary, creepy lady. "Now, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, where were we? Ah, yes. Just sign here, here, and here," she smiled.
I had a bad feeling about this place. It kind of reminded me of the movie Annie. Jade's eyes came to mind, and suddenly I was thinking… Maybe this place won't be so bad.
