Alright, I know I've been gone forever, with sports and such, I finally decided I wanted to write another story. I'm writing this one about Victorious, with multiple POV's. I will announce who's POV it is in when we get there. Sorry if they're kind of OOC, so, yeah, hope you enjoy it!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Victorious.
Chapters may not come as quickly, because I am currently writing a story for my friend Annie, and I'm editing her story Discovery. And school is starting on the 17 of August…
This chapter is in the POV of TORI VEGA. Enjoy!
Forget Him
My best friend Jade and I both had a major crush on the same guy, Beck. Jade went to a different elementary school, where she met Beck and used to chase him around at recess. During high school, I transferred to Hollywood Arts. Jade and Beck were both attending HA, and Beck rode the same bus I rode every day. Black hair, awesome brown eyes…no wonder we both liked him. Everyday at school we would obsess over him; if he looked at us, if we talked to him, whatever. I guess you see my point about the word "obsession."
Pretty soon, I started to get to know him better. We would talk on the bus longer than usual (which meant that we spoke only about four words to each other) and that was okay for me! Finally we began talking almost every day through instant messaging, and he seemed really nice. I started to like him even more.
One day, I found out that Beck was going out with a girl named Liza. I was so mad-although I had no clue as to why I should be so mad. I mean, it was none of my business. Even so, I started obsessing over him even more.
Later, I found out that Liza had dumped him because she just wanted to be friends with him. I felt like that was some of the best news of my life! That night, on instant message, I almost asked him out but decided against it. I was only a sophomore, and I felt like my dad would think I was too young to go out with someone. Not only that, but I knew that Jade liked him, too, and I thought it would hurt Jade if I started going out with Beck.
One day, Beck told me that he talked to Jade on instant message! I decided to call her, but there was no answer. Dang, I thought. I'll call her back later and ask her about it. About five minutes later, Jade called me. The first thing she told me was, "I have a boyfriend!" I laughed, thinking it was a joke, because we had joked about that before. "No, seriously," she replied to my laughter.
I took a chance at asking her who it was. "Andre?" I asked. He was an amazing musician, and lived across the street from her. I figured it could be him.
"No. Guess again." She said to me. I guessed, already knowing who it really was. I just didn't want it to be true.
"Beck," I said in a flat tone.
"Yes!" She excitedly replied. I tried to act normal and be positive, but I could barely hide my disappointment.
"That's cool. You have a boyfriend, Jade. Great." I could hardly fake any excitement.
I later asked Beck about it and found out that it was true-he was going out with her. He and Jade had instant messaged each other for an hour and forty-five minutes the night before. He told her that he had liked her since kindergarten! I was furious and sad all at the same time. I went up to my room and tried not to cry.
I called Jade later and we talked, but when she asked if I was okay about her and Beck, I hung up on her. She didn't' call back. At the time, I really didn't' know if the relationship between Beck and Jade would last, but meanwhile I'm trying to not have hard feelings toward Jade since this is the first time we've ever experienced something like this. If Beck had asked ME out, I would have said no-because my friend liked him too. I wish that Jade would have done that, but it was her choice, not mine.
I've read in teen magazines: "If you and your friend like the same guy, you should BOTH forget him. Otherwise, someone is going to end up getting hurt when the guy you're crushing on goes out with your friend and not you. FORGET HIM."
I totally believe that advice and I have decided that's what I'm going to do if the situation would ever come up again. In the end, friends will be there long after the crush is over, as long as we play by the same rules and respect each other's feelings.
I'm just glad Jade is still happy with Beck, and with time, I've decided to move on. Boys will come and go, but friendship will last forever.
Alright, hopefully that was a good comeback. Review, review, review, review please! I haven't been writing for here forever, so I'd like to know if I'm still up to par. This story is like Family Stories: The David's, I know. I found I like writing that type of story better. Hopefully all of you who have read my stories before, will still read this story now.
