Becks POV

Living in a caravan has its advantages and disadvantages. Advantage- my roof my rules. Disadvantage- no air conditioning. And yeh I know that doesn't seem like a very big price to pay for ones freedom but living in LA during summer in a caravan is like waking up every morning in an oven.

This is how I wake most mornings, but there just seemed to be something different today. Sure I was waking up in the same sweat drenched sheets that I always do and sure I don't think there is anything on today that would make it special at all. But I don't know. There is just something different about it.

I roll out of bed and head to my tiny little bathroom. I look the same as always, shaggy shoulder length brown hair, olive tanned skin, brown eyes. Nope, nothing different there. Having had no luck on what it is I just can't put my finger on, I decide to have a shower and wash away the sweat from an uncomfortably humid night.

Maybe there is a performance on at school today, I think to myself as the hot water cascades over my shoulders, relaxing any tension I had in my muscles. That's probably it.

I go to a high school called Hollywood arts. It's a school for the gifted. Singing, dancing, acting, you name it, if it's a performance art, we've got it. Going to that school is how I met my girlfriend jade and my bestfriends Robbie, Cat and Andre. Jade and Cat are both amazing actresses and singers, so is André but he also writes his own songs. And as for Robbie, he acts and sings at an average level, but its ventriloquism skills are really something to see. He carries his dummy rex everywhere. Most people think it's weird, but to us it's just Robbie.

I'm thinking about my friends as I finish up my shower and get dressed for school. They are a truly amazing bunch of people and we are all so different yet get along so well. That is except for Jade, she doesn't really get along with anyone but me. Most people she just tolerates. But to me that's all just part of her charm.

I Grab my phone, my wallet and my keys and head out the door. I'm getting to school early today for my job at the asphalt café. I work there a couple times a week sometimes before school, sometimes during lunch break.

It's not like I have to work or anything. Except for the few scholarship kids at Hollywood arts, everyone here is really a trust fund kid. I just choose to work cause im really big on having my won freedom to do whatever I want and I think having a job is one step closer to that. Plus there is always the added bonus of free coffee.

Work goes off without any at all excitement and before I know it classes have started and Sikowitz is climbing in through the window.

"Beck…..Beck?!"

You know I always wondered why he came in the window instead of the door. I mean wouldn't it be easier to come in the same way as everyone else?

"BECK!"

I was completely lost in my thoughts when I get a quick smack on the back of my head.

"ow! What?!" I exclaim as I turn around to see who had hit me. I mean geese they could have waved their hand in front of my face or tapped me on the shoulder before resorting to violence to get my attention.

"Why were you ignoring me? I was trying to ask if you wanted to get together later but clearly you have more important things on your mind!" jade stormed at me as she crossed her arms and legs looking well and truly pissed at my lack of attention.

of course it was jade who hit me. Who else would have been so rude? I mean seriously, we have been together for years and I obviously love the girl but come one, there are better ways then going straight to brutality.

"Sorry I'm just having a weird morning. How bout I take you out for dinner later to make it up to you?" I offer in a half assed attempt to calm her down. "we can go anywhere you want".

Looking at jade at that moment I wasn't sure it was going to work. I mean seriously if looks could kill I would be a pile of dust right now. But that's not saying much. Scowling is really jades happy face. And today luck was in my favour.

"Fine. But don't ever ignore me again." Jade huffed as she got up and walked towards the stage to act out some scene Sikowitz had been talking about.

The rest of the day went by in a blur. Nothing at all exciting happened. No lunch time performance, it wasn't anyone birthday. Even cat hadn't done anything really weird today. But yet I still couldn't shake that feeling like something had changed. Or at least it was about to.

I got ready for my date with jade in a haze. I put on my favourite pair of ripped jeans, and my combat boots that I usually left untied as well as singlet and an unbuttoned flano. Nothing fancy, but hey this was me. Jade was meeting me at our usual sushi place so I didn't have to worry about picking her up or anything so I decided to just get in the car an go, it wouldn't matter if I was 10 minutes early, I mean its better than being late and having to listen to jade bitch at me all night about it. God she could be a lot of work sometimes.

I was driving to the restaurant when I got a text from jade

*hey babe, not coming. Texas chainsaw massacre is on and I need cheering up. Bye*

That's it? Im second best to a movie she has seen like a million times?! I couldn't believe she was doing this to me. Here I was making the effort to spend time together and she blows me off with some stupid excuse again.

I chucked an illegal u turn and sped back towards my house. If she didn't want to see me then that was just fine, I had better things to do anyway. I was just gonna grab my motorbike and head out of town for a long ride to clear my head. Being this angry wasn't doing anyone any favours.

I didn't realise just how right I was. I had just rounded the corner onto my street, going a little faster then was necessary when out of nowhere I see this mane of brown hair flash in the corner of my eye and next thing you know this girl has ran out in front of me and stop in the middle of the road.

I'll never forget the look of terror in her eyes as she pivots to face me .I hear the tyres lock up as I slam on the breaks but I can't look away from the big brown eyes as I pray to god that I'll stop in time.
