It all started with a drunken night and teenage stupidity, but now what is it? Becktorade. Rated T. Tumblr request.
At first the thought of a relationship between the three of us made my head spin, could I really get involved with these two? They were always fighting and when they weren't they were okay, but where would I be left? Stuck in the middle to fix their problems? Wasn't that where I was anyways?
It turns out the perfect place for me was where I always was, between the two of them. Some night the three of us would spend time at Jade's or Beck's, other nights they'd be together alone, and some nights it'd be just Beck and I or just Jade and I. It was something new and it was nice just being with them, knowing that there weren't really any expectations or pressure. Being with them together or separately was always peaceful, simple and pleasurable. Even if we just watched movies and talked until the sun was high in the sky.
We kept it a secret from everyone else, which was easier than I expected. At school they'd walk through the halls and hold hands and sometimes when nobody else was looking they'd squeeze my hand or kiss my cheek before going into class. At lunch they'd switch turns sitting next to me and massage my thigh under the table, just to remind me that I wasn't alone and they hadn't forgot about me. We'd all go to the movies or out for pizza. It was so simple.
Jade was out of town for a movie, so Beck and I were left with a weekend to ourselves. I stood in my bedroom trying to find something to wear to the movies. It was supposed to be cold later tonight but it was pretty warm right now so I wasn't sure what to put on. I settled for a pair of black jeans, black heels and a pain grey tank top, making sure to bring my jacket with me as I walked downstairs.
"Mom?" I called, I got no answer and frowned. I guess she was out with him, "Trina?" I yelled. I got no answer again so I walked over and wrote a note that I was going out with a friend and I'd be home-in case either of them actually made it home.
Trina was probably out with one of her girlfriends, she didn't have to lie about where she was or who she was with-mom didn't question it when she spent the night at Amber's house because mom didn't know Trina was into girls. But if she knew I was going out with Beck she'd probably scream at me and be a big stuck up hypocritical bitch. So I left a vague note before grabbing my keys and walking out the door.
Beck's little red truck was sitting in my driveway, he leaned over and pushed open the door for me. I locked my door and skipped over to the truck, bouncing in and pulling the door shut to trap in the heat. I leaned over and pulled him close, kissing him soft and slow. He pulled away first, "you look great." He told me, putting the small truck in reverse.
I studied his outfit. A pair of dark jeans, boots and a grey t-shirt, "you too." I said, he took my hand in his as he drove us to the movie theater. I check my messages; I had one from Jade telling us she missed us and one from Trina telling me she wouldn't be home tonight. I told her I was out and so was mom, but she never replied again.
We were walking out of the theater, Beck had his arm slung over my shoulder and we were laughing at the older couple in front of us when I spotted Andre looking at us, I waved at him, trying to appear casual even though I was freaking out. Beck took his arm away from my shoulder, throwing away his nearly full soda as an excuse for taking his arm away that wasn't guilt.
"Hey Chica, Beck. What are you two doing here?"
"Catching a movie, we were both bored." He nodded and introduced us to his girlfriend of the week, Tanya. She wasn't very pleasant and was kind of an airhead; I tried to slip away as casually as possible, pushing Beck toward the door. After the movie we picked up some ice cream and went back to his RV, we watched another movie on his small TV, I was sitting between his legs and he was kissing my neck halfway through the movie until I stopped paying attention, spun around and kissed him hard.
At nine am I woke up, happy to roll over and go back to bed, but there was a sound of a vibrating phone filling the small space in the RV. I climbed over Beck and hung off the bed, reaching for my jeans and dragging them closer. Beck shifted under me and grabbed me to keep me from falling as I grabbed the phone, "Hello?"
"Tori, where are you?" my mom didn't sound as worried as she should.
"Went out for breakfast, why?" I lie smoothly.
"I found your note."
"I forgot to take it down, sorry." I lie again, getting annoyed with her and the way Beck was massaging my ass casually. I kneed his thigh but that didn't deter him.
"Alright, well be home by 6, please. We're having dinner as a family." I scowled, "and yes he is coming."
"Fantastic." I hung up on her, throwing my phone on the floor. Beck continued to massage but ass, laughing. I pushed myself back on the bed and turned to face him, prepared to scold him, when he kissed me suddenly, grabbing my face between his warm hands. My very weak anger was forgotten as electricity shot through my veins and my back hit the mattress, his muscular body pinning me to the bed. I didn't mind waking up to this in the mornings, though I could have done without the phone call.
I laid beside him, sweaty and worn out, but happy forty minutes later, my cheek resting on his chest. He still smelled like my favorite of his three colognes. I inhaled deeply and tucked my body closer to his. He wrapped his arm tighter around my back and twisted one leg between mine.
"So, what should we do today?" he asked, running his fingers through my hair.
"Lets start with separate showers-so maybe I'll make it out of there feeling clean for once." Beck chuckled and kissed the top of my head before I slipped off of the bed, stretching my arms up over my head, "and maybe we can watch some episodes of Friends?"
"Sure." I showered quickly in his tiny bathroom and stepped out, drying myself with my towel, it was pink, Jade's was purple and Beck's was blue, while Beck slipped into the bathroom. I shimmied back into my underwear and stole a pair of Beck's boxers and a tank top, plopping down on his bed with my phone.
I had a new picture from Jade. She was standing on her balcony grinning with New York behind her, lit up in all it's night time glory. I took a picture of me laying in Beck's bed and sent it to her, she replied with a picture of her snuggled up in her sheets, so I waited patiently and dragged Beck, still wrapped in his towel, down on the bed beside me, taking a picture and sending it to her. She sent back her frowning, I took a picture of both of us blowing her a kiss and she sent one back.
Once upon a time if Beck had told me Jade was the type to blow people kisses and catch them I would have never believed him, but she was. She liked to do weird stuff like that and she liked it when people kissed her on the forehead or on the tip of her nose. She liked to be picked up when she was hugged. Beck loved it if you kissed the back of his neck or if you rubbed the base of his spine. I'd always wondered how they managed to have a relationship for so long, but seeing them the way I got to now I completely understood it.
And I loved that I could be part of it now, too. I sent her a picture of the opening sequence of Friends and she sent me back the opening sequence of Bones. I laughed and settled back against Beck, who had gotten dressed before putting in the DVD. Around 5:30 we shut off Friends and Beck drove me back to my house. Gary's squad car was parked outside my house. I gave Beck a quick peck goodbye and got out of the car, snapping a picture of the side of the car and sending it to Jade was with a frowning face.
She sent me back a picture of Monica hugging Joey with a smiling face, I smiled down at my phone as I stepped into the house, only to scowl when I noticed the pair snuggling on the couch. My mom beamed up at me and Gary gave me a smile. I look at them with a flat stare for a moment before fully shutting the door and heading upstairs to my room, dropping onto my bed dramatically.
I just wished I could go live with my dad instead of with my mom, but he got the bad end of the divorce and lost the house and custody of me to my mother and now he lived in a one bedroom apartment, 30 minutes away. I hated my mom for doing that to him-he wasn't the unfaithful one, she was, but she destroyed his life. And now she was trying to push Gary into the place my father was supposed to be, and I would not tolerate that. He was not my father, he was just the asshole that helped ruin my family.
I turned up my radio as loud as I could and shut the door, laying on my bed texting my dad. He had the day off and I wished I could go over and have dinner with him, but he was actually doing paper work for work so he was busy anyways. After he found out about Gary he requested a new partner and he ended up getting put on desk duty because he was 'emotionally unstable'. He had to see a therapist twice a month until the therapist cleared him for field work.
So when I went down for dinner I sat next to Trina and didn't touch my food, my arms crossed over my chest and my glare fixed on the pair of them. Trina sat similarly, breaking her glares to text her girlfriend back. Mom continued to eat and her face turned red with anger and embarrassment. Gary got uncomfortable and finally my mom kicked us out of the house. We went willingly.
"Just drop me at Beck's." Trina had found out about them the worst way, she came home early one night and walked in on the three of us in a rather awkward spot. But she hadn't said a word; she considered my secret a fair trade for keeping her secret for her. She waved happily to Beck when I got out before she drove off.
"Mom kick you out that quick?"
"It happens when Trina and I refuse to eat and just glare at them for twenty minutes." I shrug, stepping into the RV and kicking my shoes off.
"I ordered us Chinese." He told me, closing the door behind him. After the Chinese arrived we sat in his chairs out front and watched his small TV, not saying anything. I finished my last egg roll when his phone started ringing and he went into the RV to talk to Jade. I sat outside curled up in my chair and watch the Wizard of Oz. He came back out sometime later and draped his blanket over my shoulders, sitting down next to me.
Jade usually called him Saturday nights when she was out of town; she called me on Sunday's. Once the Wizard of Oz ended we went inside and I changed into one of his pairs of boxers and took off my bra we laid down and went to sleep. He always knew when to ask me about my problems or when to leave me alone. Tonight was one of the nights where I just wanted to lay next to someone and sleep, not to think about how shitty my mom was or how horrible I felt about my dad. And how I hated myself for being the one to tell him, the one to break them up.
I pulled his arms tighter around me and wrapped around the body pillow next to me. He kissed the back of my head and hummed a song softly until I fell asleep, perfectly content to never leave his bed again in my life.
When Sunday morning came it was too coffee and a phone call from Jade. I curled up in Beck's chair outside in his sweater while he slept some more. I sipped my coffee as Jade told me about her shoot and I told her about dinner, "fucking A plus, Vega, fuck your mom she's such a gank."
"Yeah." I sigh.
"You sound like you need a hug, pretend I'm there, alright? Because I know Beck is still passed out. Even though it's like 11." She laughed and so did I, Beck never woke up before 1 on a Sunday, something about defying his parents rules. They woke up at 6 am for Church every Sunday and he was determined to never be up before 1.
"I've got his sweater, so I'm all good. So tell me more about this movie." I tell her, leaning back against the chair, content to just listen to her voice for the rest of the morning. Beck rolls out of bed at one, wishes Jade good morning, kisses me and steals my coffee before slumping into his chair.
"Talk to you tomorrow, Vega, have a good day. Glare at your bitch of a mom for me." I smiled and shook my head.
"Bye, West, you too. And have a safe flight."
"Quit wishing me safe flights, Vega, now I'm going to be paranoid it will crash."
"I wished you luck, you'll be fine." I grin, I can visualize her glaring daggers at the phone and I grin wider, hanging up on her. Beck just laughs and takes my free hand in his as we watch re-runs of Zoey 101. When 5 rolls around he drives me home, where I'm happy to find my mother gone.
I head straight upstairs and do my math homework until 7:30, back up my bag for school tomorrow, and then shower before I crawl into my bed-unlocking my window as an afterthought before I crawl back under my sheets. A warm body slides into my bed at one, I shift until she's comfortably tucked beside me and I inhale the smell of her jasmine and mint shampoo, wrapping my arm around her back.
An anon asked me to continue this story, so here I am, continuing it into a multichap fic. Let me know what you think.
