A/N: Hi guys I'm back! Sorry it took a while. Well this story has nothing too deep and dramatic but of course there is. Think of it as a RomCom because that's the reason for writing this. Write a screenplay based on your favorite genre haha.
The six of us had a nice dinner at Olive Garden. We were pretty civil about things, which made me realize how much we've all matured. And the things we've done since high school, it was really nice to hear about Andre, Jade and Robbie's lives. I've missed them so much.
Andre met Tori when they took music theory and theater in Santa Cruz. They became fast friends and bonded through music. He interned at an independent music company for a year to get a jump-start on his future music producing. When Tori's sister bought the LA theater house just last year, Tori remembered that Andre was from LA so she asked him to work music and sounding there. She took names from the Hollywood Arts graduating class and that's how she found me and Jade. She found Robbie through Andre. Beck and Tori were best friends in high school but went to different colleges. She remembered him being a great actor in drama club so she called him as well to audition and to restore their friendship.
Jade and Beck met and started dating throughout college in San Francisco. The problem was Jade got easily angry and Beck was just plain gorgeous. Don't worry, even with me being the crazy girl that I am, I would not hit on Beck because Jade's my best friend. Anyways, apparently they always fought because girls threw themselves at him and he wouldn't do anything about it. It's not that he cheated, he just didn't tell the girls to stop, which angered Jade. She was fed up with it one day and broke it off. Until now they still argued about it. Probably because there were still words left unsaid.
The Olive Garden we chose was close to the ice cream parlor we loved so much so we stopped by Frankie's for dessert.
We branched off in pairs, seemingly because Beck and Jade really wanted to talk about things and Andre and Tori wanted to talk business. I was with Robbie again walking to the park across the street.
"So how ya been lover boy?" I winked at him.
"Ahaha very funny Cat… So wait, that wasn't a dream?"
"What's a dream?"
"Well when I woke up alone at the pier I thought that the night before was just a dream."
"Oh oops, sorry about that! I couldn't miss my train, which was at like 6 am so I just had to leave. We stayed up til past 1. You needed some sleep."
"See now that makes so much more sense to me. Thank you. It's been bugging me ever since."
"Robbie if you wanted to know you could have called me or something." I giggled.
"Oh, right. Sorry about that."
"Mhm and now that we'll be working together, you better call me. Keep me updated with the love life of yours, Romeo," I said.
"Sure thing Cat." Robbie smiled.
"So what's new? Still trying to find your Juliet?"
"She's somewhere out there, I know it."
"Yeah, I think she is." I smiled at him.
"What about you? Who's the latest victim in your Cat and mouse game?"
"Nobody right now, just ended it with a guy last week."
"Ended? I thought you don't stay in relationships?"
"I don't. Three dates. If they're lucky. Then that's that." I winked.
"Impressive," Robbie chuckled.
"Why thank you, sir," I giggled.
"I really missed you, Cat. I missed your smile, you're bright personality. Thank God we're working together again."
"Me too, Robbie. Me too." I really was glad to see him again. Especially after our last encounter a year ago. It was sudden that I had to leave, what with how I left things that night. I just wanted to make sure that he and I were in good terms, and that kiss was as innocent as it was. But now wasn't the time to talk about it. Maybe later.
Beck and Jade sat at a park bench and continued their conversation from the theater. This time they were a little more civil about it. Well, for now.
"Thanks for talking with me, Jade."
"I'm only talking to you because we said we will. No favors."
"Look, Jade. I'm really sorry I messed up. I know I wasn't the best boyfriend ever and you're great. That's why you deserve a better guy than me. But if you forgive me, maybe we can start over as friends."
"What good will come out of that? Beck, you broke my heart. And it seemed like you didn't care."
"I did care. I still do."
"If you cared, why did you always let girls throw themselves at you? You seemed pretty comfortable with each gank that drooled and kissed the ground you walked on. If you wanted to break up with me you should have just done it."
"I didn't want to break up with you, Jade. You dumped me remember?"
"I didn't want to break up with you either."
"They why did you? Can we get back together?"
"Beck it's been 6 months. You can't possibly think that there is still something here, right? Too much time passed. We can't go back. And we shouldn't. And I'm over you."
"You are?" Beck asked hurt.
"Y-yeah." Jade said trying to keep her composure.
"But I don't want you out of my life. I promise I'll be different."
"How am I supposed to trust that you'll be different?"
"Ok… You didn't trust me as a boyfriend, maybe you can trust me as a friend."
"So you want to be friends?"
"Do you?"
"Beck…"
"Well?"
"Ok… Let's try this friend thing then."
Beck and Jade smiled at each other and shook hands. As much as they wanted to be together they are torn between getting hurt again and falling in love. This arrangement seemed the most viable way to handle things. Maybe they couldn't be together now, but who knows what the future had in store for them. After all, they are both playing the leads in the production. More so, they are both playing romantic leads in the production.
CabbieLoverSAC22 yes thanks for reminding me to mention which parts relate to real life. Wouldn't be a story of mine if I didn't add my own life.
When Cat and Robbie had a fun night in San Diego in ch1, that was actually a date I had with some boy... lol
Ok I'm going to say this right now, most of Jade/Beck interactions were pretty much of me and that boy (except for this chapter)... yup. That is all. Have a fantastic Monday evening or whatever time it is you're reading this :)
