The Trouble With Love Is…

Beck Oliver is an ordinary 16 year old high school student, with a secret love with his two best friends.

Andre Harris is another 16 year old student, and he shares a love of music and the love of his two best friends.

Cat Valentine is the wanted 15 year old beauty of Hollywood Arts, and very protected by her two best friends she loved.

Everyone's been so suspicious, but could that really happen?

Could three totally different people, physically and emotionally, fall in love? As a threesome? There couldn't possibly be a way, right?

Not in the ordinary town of Beverly Hills, California.

But it seemed to in front of their faces.

Those three spent every waking moment with each other.

Andre and Cat seemed to live in Beck's RV with him, located on his parent's driveway.

They brush off the questions, saying they are just the new 21st centenary 3 Musketeers.

But even that trio on TV wasn't as close as these three.

In their group as well was Tori Vega, who was in everyone's business and tried to be queen bee next to Cat Valentine, but it never worked. Something always went wrong when Tori was around. So she just stuck with being Cat's best friend and in the group. Tori was the judgmental rich type, who didn't give anyone with a social meter of 0 a 2nd glance.

Jade West was a regular 16 year old, except the odd facts about her: she was Goth, vicious, and unlikable. A bully to all. She has tried for years to hook up with Beck Oliver, and a few times even with Andre Harris, but none of her tries prevailed. She was jealous of Cat, but as they say…keep your crushes close, and your enemies closer. So she pretended to be a best friend to the redhead, just to get close to Beck.

Robbie Shapiro was one of the last 15 year olds in their grade, seeing as his birthday was after Cat's. He longed for her attention and admiration, but never seemed to be able to catch her eye. Her eyes were always on Beck and Andre, together, so he didn't stand a chance. He tried to hang out with Beck and Andre, so he could get closer to Cat, but seeing as he was so obvious in his attempts, the overprotective best friends of hers wouldn't let him near her.

One morning, Cat was switching books in and out of her locker as Beck and Andre stood behind her, talking casually. It was like this every morning. They stayed by her side. Never left her alone.

"Look at them." A pair of piercing blue eyes glared daggers at the petite redhead and the two boys next to her. "Hovering over her like she was a helpless kitten…she's a teenager and completely capable of taking care of herself. They don't need to be her bodyguards all day, every day. Fuck them."

The girl standing close to her, with high cheekbones and heavy makeup, sighed deeply. "Jade, give it up. Besides, Cat was limping earlier. Something's going on with her and I think the boys are just making sure she's alright. Something's going on with Cat, and they are not going to tell us. Let it be."

"Cat's my best friend." Jade West growled at the brunette, who rolled her eyes. "I deserve to know what's wrong. What could've happened that she's limping? Those two hardly ever leave her alone, so what happened that hurt her? It obviously passed through their radar."

"Hard to believe." Tori said as she shut her locker. "I got to get to class. If I'm late again, the teacher is going to slit my throat."

"Detail." Jade smirked. "Love it."

Tori walked away. "You're disturbed, West."

Jade looked back to the trio, who were walking from Cat's locker, up the stairs, slowly. Beck had his arm around Cat's waist as she limped up the stairs, and Andre had her backpack in his hands, as he watched with worry. The way Andre watched them…the way Beck had fear and love in his eyes…and the way Cat was always so safe and dependable on them…this wasn't friendship.

No.

Something freaky and livid was going on.

And Jade West was going to find out.

A/N: The next chapter will officially be the start of the story. This was the prolong. The view of everyone else's, sort of. Otherwise it will be pretty much only about Beck's POV, or Cat's POV, or Andre's POV from now on. Next chapter will be Beck's POV and about how Beck, Cat, and Andre met in this story. Give it a few chapters, you may like it. It's a friendship/romance story. -Thomas.
