Safe Heaven
It was bitter cold outside. Icy wind hits my face, making my eyes close and hug my chest tighter. I open my eyes again, gazing over the cars in the parking lot of the school. I raise the hot cup of coffee to my lips, feeling the substance warm my insides. I glance around till I spot her.
Tori Vega.
She's standing by her sister's car, shivering from the lack of heat. Hey hair slightly blown back and her face flushed from the wind. She tugged the purple jacket tighter around her body, hopping it might provide some extra warmth. Her sister, Trina finally strolls over, her extremely high heels clicking on the pavement. Tori quickly opened the car door when her sister unlocks it. I watch the car leave the parking lot at a very dangerous speed that makes me wonder how her sister has her license.
I suddenly feel an arm wrap around my shoulder and I finch from the sudden contact.
"Hey babe" Beck says, kissing my cheek. His lips were cold like the air.
"Hi," I say, climbing into his truck. He gets in on the passenger side and starts the car. A wave a heat bursts up against my face and I'm relaxing against the seat.
Beck and I didn't talk much the entire ride to my house. Maybe a few 'How was your day' and 'Can you believe that test' here and there. Beck was a good guy, but something was changing in our relationship. I feel like we're loosing the spark, the fireworks that went off in your mind when you kissing someone. Its just not there anymore.
And then there was Tori.
There I go again thinking about her. I know I really shouldn't, that I have a good thing going with Beck, but I just can't help it. It's like someone planted a seed in my brain entitled 'Tori' and it grew everyday. Sometimes I just wish it was her holding me instead of Beck, to feel her lips on mine and laugh to stupid jokes. I know I can't though. I know it will never happen.
We pulled into my driveway. Beck gave me a short peck on the lips before I climbed out of his truck. He waved at me before backing out and heading down the street.
I went inside when the car rear was out of sight. Dropping my bag on the floor, I headed into the living room and plopped on the couch. Maybe I was overthinking this whole thing with Beck and Tori. I want them both, not at the same time though. I love Beck, but Tori is working her way into my mind and clouding all my thoughts until she's the only one I can think about.
Groaning, I get up from the couch and walk into the kitchen. I grabbed my phone, scrolling through my contacts till I reached the 'T' section. Clicking on the person's name, I sent them a quick text before throwing my phone back on the counter before sitting down, waiting for a reply.
