It took nine hours to get to where they were staying, in Squaw Valley Lodge, a ski-in, ski-out hotel. It was absolutely awesome. They had reserved three rooms.

"Cat and I will stay in the first room." Jade said and grabbed the room key. "Oh, and Vega is not invited."

"I think that Robbie, Beck and I can stay in the second room," Andre suggested. "Which leave Tori with…Sikowits."

Beck cut in smoothly. "You now, Sikowits could stay with Robbie and Andre and me and Tori could share a room."

"No," Andre said. "Just… no."

"That sounds like a plan," Sikowits cut in. "If you two boys wouldn't mind sharing your room with me."

"Fine," Andre huffed and then whispered to Beck, "Don't even think about making a move on my girl. Keep your hands to yourself."

With a sigh, Beck turned to face Andre. "One, you and Tori aren't dating, so she's not your girl and two, I'm not a slut. Of course, I'll keep my hands to myself." he leaned down and whispered so only Tori could hear, "Maybe."

Everybody hauled all of their stuff, including skies (or in Jade, Robbie and Andre's cases, snowboards) into their rooms.

Once in their room, Tori laid down on the couch. When she was sure that Beck was gone, she drew in a ragged breath and allowed a few tears to leak out of her eyes before letting loose.

Halfway down the hall, Beck remembered that he forgot the car keys in Tori and his room. He opened the door to hear Tori crying. She didn't want to bother me. he realized guiltily.

He lifted Tori off the couch. "You never have to feel like you're bothering me," he said to the angel in his arms and laid her down on the bed before closing the curtain. Beck stood up and walked away, but Tori pulled him back.

"Stay," she ordered and then her tone changed. "Please stay with me, Beck. I can't stand to lay here alone." Her voice cracked and her last few words were a whimper.

So Beck climbed into the bed with Tori and wrapped his arms around her. "Shh. I'm here. I won't let anything bad happen to you." Tori snuggled up closer to him and Beck realized that her forehead was hot. "You're burning up."

When he was really feverish, Beck liked to take a shower in luke-warm water. "Tori, you're burning up right now. I think you should take a shower." he said.

Beck lifted Tori into the bathroom and set her down, but her legs gave way and she slumped down. What if she falls in the shower and hurts herself? Beck decided that he would still put her in the shower, but stay nearby in case anything happened.

She got into the shower and tossed her clothes out onto the bathroom floor. Beck picked them up and threw them into their dirty clothes bag. Tori had been sweating like mad on that couch; she probably didn't want those clothes unless they had been washed.

Five minutes later, the water was still running and Beck checked to see if Tori was okay. "Tor, are you alright?" he called.

"Help me Beck," Tori whimpered. "I feel like if I move, I'm going to kill myself." That really got Beck moving.

He was tentative about reaching in and picking Tori up. He tried not to look at her body and handed her a towel. It felt to the ground and Beck couldn't help himself. He looked down and saw that Tori wasn't moving, but was still breathing. "Oh my God," he breathed and set Tori on top of the bed before reaching for his phone.

"Beck," the voice of his angel sounded. "Beck, don't call anyone. I'm okay." Tori struggled to sit up before she was aware of her nakedness.

"I couldn't find your clothes and I don't know where I threw the dirty clothes bag," Beck apologized. "I don't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." He then got an idea and told her, "I'll be right back."

It turned out that Tori's clothes were still in the van like Beck had thought. Of course, she was being picky and refused to wear any of her shirts because they were, "too tight" so Beck gave her one of his T-shirts. He wanted to unpack the car, but Tori pulled him into bed with her.

Beck knew that he shouldn't be sleeping with Tori, but when she turned her puppy-dog eyes on him, he just couldn't resist her. He was tired and fell asleep with his arms around Tori and his nostrils filled with the scent of her.

!#$%^&*

Andre was wondering where Beck and Tori were. He hadn't seen either of them all day. Sikowits was worried too and together, they unlocked the door to their room.

No Tori and no Beck. They weren't in the kitchen, bathroom or on the couch. Then Andre noticed that the curtain for privacy was closed. He opened it up and looked into the bed.

Both Beck and Tori were sleeping there. Tori had her face in Beck's shoulder and she had one of Beck's T-shirts on. This made Andre furious. He was going to ask Tori out, but she was sleeping with Jade's boyfriend and was wearing Jade's boyfriend's shirt.

Sikowits joined him. "Whoa, they've been busy this afternoon." Andre let out a growl of possessiveness.

"She's mine, not Beck's. He has a girlfriend."

"Let's not say anything. This is their deal. We don't want to spoil everyone's vacation." Sikowits said to Andre.

"Huh," Andre snarled but allowed himself to be led out of the room. He was shocked. How come Tori chose Beck over him? He was hot, he liked music and he was single. What had Beck done that Andre hadn't to win Tori's heart? This wasn't fair. Victoria Ann Vega was his and nobody else's. Beck was going to pay for this little stunt.

AN This is Bori all the way. No Tandre, but I plan on adding some Jandre and maybe a little Cobbie. Sorry Bade fans.
