I wanted to change it up a bit. I'll be doing Beck's POV a couple times in this story, it'll make more sense the farther I get into it. =) Stick with me!
So, it's almost been a week since the zoo incident. Just like I had said, I lied to Beck. I'm not proud of myself. It was just something that I had to do. I'm not ready to be without him yet, surprise I'm a selfish bitch. I wish I could say that everything has been normal the past week however, that wouldn't be true. Me and Cat haven't spoken since that day, no calls, texts, IMs, nothing. Hell, the girl won't even look at me. Every time I see her it's like she becomes infatuated with the floor. The girl can't take her eyes off it. I guess I don't really have room to talk, it's not like I've made any type of effort to talk to her or to get her to talk to me. The first couple of days without her actually wasn't that bad. I had myself believing that it was a good thing and that maybe it's what I needed, to get her out of my system. I was great until it was Saturday night and I had no one to come over and watch Broadtalk with me. It's like everything that I had been feeling, everything that I pushed back, just hit me all at once. I didn't know whether to be sad, what to be sad about or to be so angry that someone could throw me away just like that. It all just hurt so bad. The next morning was horrible to say the least. I looked and felt like shit. I'm so glad there isn't school on Sundays. I might thank Jesus for that some day, might. Beck has texted me non-stop all morning. He wants me to do something with him or at least just hang out, but I really just don't feel like it. I think I'll just sleep the rest of my weekend away.
BECK's POV
"I quit!" I growl to no one in particular. I guess I'll just spend the day in my RV, alone, yay. That girl can be so freaking stubborn sometimes. I really want to scream, it is Jade though. For the past few months she's been acting less and less like herself. Don't get me wrong, it's not been all bad. She's been a lot calmer at times, doesn't get as mad as fast. It's nice, but other times it's the complete opposite. She'll tear my head off for absolutely no reason and it really pushes my buttons. I can feel her moving away from me and I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I love her and want what is best for her. It makes me sad to think we're both figuring out that maybe I'm not what's best for her anymore. When we first got together I promised myself that no matter what I would do whatever I could to make her happy. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make yourself happy too though, right? Enough of the sitting and bitching about it. I quickly get up and grab my car keys. Since Jade won't talk to me about all this, I know someone who will.
I've been to Cat's house many times to pick up Jade. Out of all the times thought I had never actually been in it. It's really nice on the inside, modern looking things, perfectly placed and I'm almost afraid to walk through it, scared I would knock something over. "We usually don't allow boys in Caterina's room, though I suppose we could forget that rule for one day." Mrs. Valentine pulls me from my thoughts.
"Oh, I don't want to be a bother or anything." I start to turn when she puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Don't be silly, it's fine." I can see where Cat gets her eyes and that smile. I return the smile and we walk up the stairs and to what you can obviously see is Cat's room. She has bright posters plastered all over the bright purple door. I laughed at the "Cuddle Zone" sign on the door. Mrs. Valentine knocks on the door "Cat, sweetie, you have a visitor." Before she lays her hand on the knob the door opens. My first thought is "How in the hell does Jade spend hours in this room with her?" She hates almost any color that is not black and well let's just say Cat's room is not black. I've never seen such a bright room before, it almost hurts my eyes.
"Oh my god is it the icecream m..Beck?" "What are you doing here?" Her face dropped her smile in .2 seconds and was quickly replaced with a scowl, her eyebrows scrunched up, this is a new Cat face to me.
"I uh..just want to hang out a bit, is that alright?" I rub the back of my neck. I need to break that habit, people will pick up on it.
"Yeah, come on in." She's smiling again, but you can still see the confusion in her eyes.
"If you guys need anything just give me a yell." Mrs. Valentine says as she shuts the door.
"Okay, so why are you here Beck?" The redhead sits on the bed with that same look back on her face. She's really not as dumb as everyone makes her out to be. She's quick to know when something is wrong or when you're lying.
"I came here about Jade."
"Oh my god, she isn't hurt is she!?" She panics a bit before I shake my head.
"Not physically, no, she's just..off."
"Off?"
"How is it that you guys have gone days without talking? Before you couldn't even go an hour and now days, what's up with that? Does that not seem off to you?"
"I really couldn't tell you. She completely snapped at the zoo. I knew she would. I just didn't think it would be that bad."
"I know, that's why I came here. I figured you knew what's been up with her for the past couple months. She keeps telling me that nothing is wrong, even though I know better."
"She hasn't said anything to me about it. She's been acting weird around me too. Before she would let me hug her and her just shrug it off but, now if I even go to hug her she screams at me. It's like she's pushing everyone away." She's got hurt in her eyes now and I know how she feels. I hate that she knows the same amount as me about this whole situation.
"I do have one thing that I keep coming back to. Something I blamed for her behavior. It doesn't make sense now that I know she's treating you the same way though. I told her that I loved her one day and that she was the best person that I had in my life. I didn't see why she freaked out so bad though because she knows I'm her best friend and that she means the world to me."
That has to be it she won't let Cat touch her, she's been doing more random things than usual just to make Cat smile. I catch her just looking at Cat and smiling. She was devastated when Cat chose Tori over her. Jade, my girlfriend, has feelings for a girl. And not just any girl, Cat. I wish that I could say that I'm completely shocked, but I'm really not. Besides me, Cat has been the only other person that Jade seems to care about. I mean I knew she was drifting away. I just didn't know she was drifting towards a lighthouse shining bright red lights.
"What do you think of her?" I have to ask. I may not love the idea of just handing my girlfriend to someone else, but if that's the only way to get Jade out of this funk and for her to be happy again then I'll do anything.
"What do you mean? She's Jade. She's my best friend and has been for years. I don't get why you're asking." She seems confused, like I had no reason to ask her for her opinion of Jade.
"I mean, is that all? You love her right?"
"Of course I love her, besides my family she's the only other person I have ever loved. What are you asking?" She seems slightly agitated now.
"Are you in love with her?" I had to ask her straight out, beating around the bush gets you nowhere with Cat. She looks completely shocked. Her jaw is practically to the floor and she just sits like that for a couple minutes. I can wait as long as it takes for her to form an answer. I'm known for my patience. Finally she seems to have an answer, but every time she opens her mouth to speak she closes it and contemplates it again as if there are a million possible answers to this question when really there is only two.
