Hey you awesome people! Today, after vigorously studying for my Social Studies quiz, I managed to begin and finish another chapter. This one is a bit longer and I worked around four hours on it! Next chapter will most likely be up on Wednesday night or Thursday afternoon at the latest.
I am trying to get into their 'minds'. I know that sounds totally creepy, but true.
Thank you again to yayyy for reviewing again. Last time, I put an extra 'y' and I'm sorry about that!
Thank you to mazeygrace18, acfprincess, Vavan4Life, eden92, and PuckLovesSabrina10148 for adding me to their lists. Sorry I don't specify the list because there is like the subscribe list, favorite author list, and favorite story list. Sorry! It confuses me, but thanks to all of you who have put me on your lists!
By the way, this chapter is mostly Beck and Tori communication and in the next chapter, I am going to attempt to get into Tori's other friendships with Cat, André, Robbie, Rex, Trina, and more. So, in the next chapter there will be less Beck and Tori and more of her other friends. Hoping you're still reading and THANKK YOU SOO MUCH! :)
PS- I am watching High School Musical 3. Just saying… :)
Chapter 4: Beck's RV, Monday Night
Beck's POV:
Since the Jade and Tori thing went down today, I feel like I can't stop thinking about Tori. Tonight has also been a disappointment and I'm honestly getting concerned. I have texted Tori three times today. She still hasn't texted me back. I feel like it's because Jade may have scared her or she doesn't know what to say to me.
Suddenly, an idea came rushing to my head. If she won't text me back, I'll just directly talk to her. I looked at the clock as it read 7:26.
Did I have enough time? I asked myself. In my head, a plan was beginning to form. I could go to Tori's house, get in without her parents knowing, talk to Tori, and leave.
I'm going to do this, I thought bravely. I grabbed my phone, my car keys, and my black leather jacket and raced to Tori's house.
On the way over, I thought about if I could really do this. I mean, her dad is a cop and what would he think; then again our friendship means a lot more to me. I weighted my options in my head and continued to Tori's house.
When I was close enough to her house, I parked four houses down so none of her family would suspect I was there. I carefully walked down the block and looked around for a place to get into her backyard. I have been to Tori's house before and I knew her bedroom was on the second floor, on the right side.
There was a normal, white picket gate that surrounded her house and jumped it. Today I was feeling too lazy to go through the gate. As quiet as I could be, I sneaked around the back and looked up at Tori's window.
Like I've seen in all in all those romantic movies, the guys always throw pebbles at the girl's window to get her attention. I searched around the backyard for some stones or something and luckily found some round, silvery-colored pebbles.
With caution, I began tossing them lightly at Tori's bedroom window. About one minute later, Tori's head popped out the window and glared at me.
"Beck! What the heck are you doing here?" she quietly screamed.
"I'm here to talk to you. I want to know why you didn't respond to my text messages." I responded calmly.
"I didn't respond because I didn't want to be stabbed by your girlfriend." She said as the words 'girlfriend' dripped from her lips.
"Tori. Please? Can we just talk for a minute?" I begged. She looked left to right and gave me the one minute sign with her index finger.
"Mom! Can I go outside? I need some fresh air." She hollered at her mom.
"Yeah honey. Just come back inside in a half hour because we are having tacos." Her mother responded. I looked down at my watch as it read 7:34.
Suddenly, Tori appeared as she came around the side of her house and walked towards me.
"Beck, I still don't understand what you want to talk to me about." She said irritatedly as she punched me lightly on the arm.
"OW! Are you mad at me?" I asked hesitantly.
"No, I am just worried Jade is going to try to kill me or worst- she could hurt you." she answered, looking down at her light pink converse.
"Jade won't hurt me and I don't care if Jade attempts to hurt me. I just don't want you to get hurt. Our friendship means a lot to me." I told her as she met my dark eyes.
"I know, but Beck what if she targets me and-" she said before I cut her off.
"If Jade tries to hurt you, I'll protect you. Jade just thinks of you as competition. She's afraid that one day I will stop dating her and start dating you." I responded as Tori bit her lip.
"But you've been dating her for two year and more. Don't you think she would trust you by now?" she questioned.
I chuckled before answering her question by saying, "Jade is very protective and gets quite jealous when I talked to other girls. Besides that, why didn't you respond to my text messages?"
"Because I thought maybe Jade would read your phone," she quietly said. "And I don't want Jade breaking up with you."
"Why? Do you think she'll blame it on you?"
"Yes. She constantly thinks that I am trying to go after you and, and-"she didn't know what else to say. She a bunch of built up emotions for all the torturing Jade has done to her in the past year.
I grabbed Tori's hands as I held them as I said, "There will be a time when Jade and I will probably break up. I don't know when or why, but I am bet it will happen eventually. And it won't be your fault."
"But she will still blame it on me and then hopefully you will get back together and be all happy like the last time you two broke up and I fixed it!" she cried as her hand were still in mine.
"Tori. Just ignore Jade and if she tries to hurt you in any way, shape, or form please tell me." I begged her as she bit her lip again. She was stressed out; you could tell from her eyes.
"I can tell you're nervous. Tori calm down. You're so sweet and you shouldn't be upset like this."I said as her eyes met mine again. I stroked her check carefully to calm her down as she blushed. If Jade found out about this, she would probably kill me.
All of a sudden, we heard footsteps and looked at each.
"Beck, go hide in the bush." She whispered tensely. Quickly, I ran over to a green-yellow bush with pink flowers and hid behind.
"Sweetie, are you out here? Dinners ready." Her mom said as she appeared from around the side of Tori's house.
Tori looked up at her mother and ran a hand through her hair, "Yeah mom. I just need to text Cat back and I'll be in."
"Okay. Your taco is inside on the counter" her mom told her as she smiled and strolled back into the house.
I came out of the bush slowly, making sure her mom didn't reappear. After about thirty seconds, I was back with Tori.
"I should probably go inside my-" she began and then my phone began to rang. I pulled it out and looked at the flat, lit up screen of my phone.
It said: Jade West MY GIRLFRIEND3
I gulped and hesitantly picked it up and the minute I did, I instantly regretted it.
Jade voice blasted through my ear, "BECK OLIVER! WHERE ARE YOU? I HAVE BEEN WAITING HERE FOR 20 SECONDS FOR YOU TO OPEN THE DOOR, BUT YOU DIDN'T. AND WHEN I BROKE IN, YOU WEREN'T THERE! WHERE ARE YOU?"
"Jade! Calm down! I am getting milk for my mom. I will be back in ten minutes," I said coolly.
"Fine. But I'm counting and you have five minutes to get back here. Goodbye." She replied, as she hung up on me.
"Isn't she charming?" I chuckled as I acknowledged Tori again once I had hung up my cell phone.
She looked horrified, "You should go! Jade is going to stab you with a fork or something!"
"Okay. If it makes you feel better, I'll leave." I said as I began to get up.
"No, no! It's not that. I just don't you getting in trouble with Jade." she said, trying to fix what she just said.
"It's okay! I know what you meant," I responded with a smile. "Like I said before, I have this under control."
"Okay, I hope so." she said with a weak smile.
"I'll see you in school tomorrow." I told her and before I left I gave her a long hug. I almost didn't want to let go, but then I remembered Jade…
I pulled away from her, smiled, and began walking to my car as Tori walked into her house to get a steamy taco.
When I pulled up at my RV, Jade was standing there looking irritated.
"You're a minute and forty-six seconds late." she said bored.
"Sorry. I was-" I began before she cut me off.
"Where's the milk?" she asked curiously.
"Milk?" I responded.
"Yes Beck. You told me you were out getting milk. Did you lie to me? I don't like it when people lie to me and you know that." She said as she began to get angry.
Make up something; make up something, my mind began chanting to itself.
"My parents called and said my dad would pick some up from work so I didn't have to." I said calmly.
"Fine." she plainly said as she popped her blue gum in my face.
"Wait, why are you here?" I questioned her. She put on the what-are-you-trying-to-say look. "Not that it's a bad thing; I mean I love seeing you around." I quickly continued.
"I wanted to make sure you weren't communicating with Tori." she eyed me as she spoke.
"Nope." I said as I managed to lie. I know I was lying to Jade, but I had to. I didn't want Tori to get hurt.
"Okay. I'm going to leave now. I have to go paint my dad's bedroom black." she told me, still bored.
"Your dad wants a black bedroom?" I asked her.
"Nope, it's a late-birthday present." She smirked.
"Oh okay. Bye babe." I gave her a quick peck on the lips and then she left.
When I walked into my RV, I began to think. Tori seemed so different when she was alone with me. She is so sweet, caring, and kind; I have to keep reminding myself Jade is my girlfriend.
I decide to go listen to my music on my shiny iPod Touch. It was sitting on my bed, so I picked it up, plugged in my earphones, and looked at my clock.
It said 9:18. Wow, it had been a long hour and a half.
I drowned out all my thoughts with my music…
