"'Cause I feel like dancing tonight,
I'm gonna party like it's my civil right," The music bummed from the stereos in the Vega household. The party Tori had organized was proven to be a blast, as expected.
Almost every Hollywood Arts student had attended; it was a tradition since Trina Vega entered high school. The first summer vacation night, every year, a huge celebration was held at the place. After Trina graduated, her younger sister felt like it was her duty to keep the tradition at least one more time, until she herself was out of school.
It was a very hot summer night, the full moon shone in the dark sky as bodies grinded on the dance floor. Jade, Beck, Cat, Robbie, Andre and Tori, however, were sitting in her roof, outside her window.
"I am so tired." Cat mumbled, reaching for another glass of vodka. She was never one to drink much, but this was a special occasion.
"Me too, the last week seemed to drag on forever." Tori whined.
"Stop complaining, you whiners. Let's do something fun." Jade stood up from her boyfriend's lap and left her empty beer bottle on the floor. She walked dangerously close to the edge of the roof and looked down to the huge pool.
"Don't go to close, babe. You are kinda drunk." Beck laughed from his seat, taking a sip from his glass.
"Tell me something I don't know." She mumbled. "You wanna go swimming?" The girls looked at each other before leaning over the edge to try and measure the distance from their spot on the house to the pool.
"You are not actually thinking about jumping right?" Andre piped in, grabbing a hold of Tori's skinny waist.
"Why not? We did it once." Cat giggled. "Ups, I'm sorry."
"You jumped to the pool from up here?" Beck exclaimed, glaring at Jade. "When?"
"Last summer, when you dorks went on that extra field trip with Sikowitz."
The pale girl laughed quietly at Beck's amused face as she, Tori and Cat stripped down to their panties. Alcohol had a huge effect on those chicks.
"You coming or what?" Cat smiled, holding Tori and Jade's hands in her owns before jumping of the roof and into the pink lighted pool.
The water felt nice on the girl's bodies, and they looked up to see their boys strip down to their boxers and jump down as well. The whole house fell silent as the guests watched the six crazy teenagers laugh their heads off in the pool.
Oh, they were going to miss those guys.
Tori woke up from her sleep with a smile on her face. Her happiness faded, however, when she rolled on her side and fell of the bed with a thud.
"Where the hell am I?" She mumbled, rubbing her head before realizing she was at Jade's room. The girl in question was still asleep on her bed, her face red and puffy from the crying she had done the night before.
Her heart sunk to her stomach as she remembered Jade's heart-wrenching sobs and the tears that streamed down her pale cheeks. She had never thought Beck and Jade wouldn't last. They had been Tori's role models as a couple and now that they were over, there was no hope for anyone really.
If there was one relationship meant to last in this hopeless world, Tori thought, it was theirs. The way they looked at each other when they thought no one was watching them. The way Beck clutched Jade's hand tightly every morning when they were still back at Hollywood. They loved each other; they were made for each other.
It was painfully stupid from Beck to do what he did, after everything they had been through. But that couldn't be erased, and as much as Jade or Tori or Beck himself would like, he couldn't take it back.
"Tori? Can you get me an aspirin? My fucking head is killing me." Jade growled from her bed.
"Sure, be right back." Tori answered, looking into her blue eyes, and in that moment, Victoria Vega swore she would do anything in her hands to make sure they didn't give it up. Because he was Beck and she was Jade and they were going to end up together no matter what.
"Are you sure this is a good idea, Jade?" The Latina asked, biting nervously on her fingernails.
"Of course I am, Tori. This will be fun. I promise." Both girls looked down as something in Jade's laptop beeped. "It is charged, now we can listen to Andre's conversations on his phone."
"Why are we doing this again?"
"Because, sweet little Tori Vega here likes Andre, and I know he does too." She smiled a wicked grin. "Now all we have to do is wait for him to admit it to someone."
"But, why can't YOU just ask him?" Tori cried, she didn't think spying on Andre would earn her points with him.
"What would be the fun in that?"
"If he finds out I'm blaming it all on you." She adjusted herself on the couch and clicked play on the laptop.
"Of course you will."
Finally, Andre's voice came through the speakers.
"Just tell me, Beck."
"I can't man, I mean, I- you would hate me."
"What did you do, Oliver?"
"I cheated on Jade."
Cat sat on her bed, playing absentmindedly with her hair. She was sad, and she wanted to talk to Jade, but she had been texting her nonstop and her best friend hadn't answered yet.
She felt terrible, worse than she thought she could ever feel. She had betrayed Jade's trust. She had betrayed the only person who had been loyal to her. Cat had seen Beck the night he cheated on Jade. The way that dark haired girl took him by the collar of his shirt and shoved her lips on his.
Cat had seen it all. How Beck had not pushed her back- like she expected him to- but instead held her tightly. How he had taken her hand, leading her to his room. Never glancing back, not that she expected him to at that point.
Her conscience told her to tell Jade, to tell her before she found out another way, but her heart suggested her to stay silent, to play the ignorant girl who had not seen a thing that night. It was the easiest thing to do, forget and start again, but it was not her call to make, and she had screwed up.
Keeping secrets was never any good, and she knew that. Her heart broke when Tori told her how Jade had found out, eavesdropping on Andre's phone conversation. Tori said that Jade had been bummed, and told her about her plan.
She would go along with it, it was the least she could do for her best friend.
Beck Oliver had always prided himself to be a good guy, a man of word, of honor, loyal till the end. Of course it had all come crashing down that Friday night at the campus's coliseum, where the Julliard's monthly party had been held.
He didn't want to go, never been much of an outgoing guy, Jade had always forced those kind of things out of him. However, his roommate convinced him to. He had not gone to the last three parties and if he didn't attend to this one, people would think he was socially deprived or something.
So he put a clean shirt on and headed to the coliseum.
"I know, right? She is such a slut." Beck heard a girl's voice from somewhere behind him. He turned around and saw her. Her pale skin, dark brown hair and green almost blue eyes reminded him so freaking much about his Jade. He smiled to the mysterious girl and she smiled back, and something inside him snapped.
Beck stopped walking and waited for the girl to catch up with him. She hang up her phone and looked over at him.
"Hi, do I know you?" She asked, her voice so enchanting he felt he was going to melt.
"No, I don't think so. I'm Beck Oliver, you are?" He asked. She looked up at him.
"Maia, Maia Pennington." Maia shook his hand and smiled up at him. "Are you going to the party tonight, Beck?"
"Yeah, I was heading there right now." He answered, something in his chest felt weird, he felt strange. This girl- Maia- reminded him too much of Jade. His girlfriend Jade, his jealous possessive girlfriend Jade. She would not like it that he was talking to some random girl, but she was not there, right?
"Oh, let's go then." She smiled.
Two hours, five tequila shots and ten dances later, Beck was straddling Maia against a wall, his hands on her hips and his lips on her neck. Her smell was addictive, and oh so inviting. She pushed him off her, and took his hand.
"Wanna go somewhere more private?" She poured on his ear. He swallowed hard and nodded, letting her guide him through the crowd and into her dorm. She closed the door behind them and attacked his lips with her own, and sometime during that make-out session, and everything that came after that, he realized he was doing something wrong, very wrong.
But for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to care. So he just pulled Maia closer to him, and wished it was Jade instead of her, but it wasn't, and there was nothing he could do about it.
A/N: Okay, I know it is short, but I have an explanation.
