Chapter 4

A few minutes before the scream.

Tori POV

When I was thrown out by Jade I decided to walk home. There was no point in staying with Jade there. Beck wouldn't want me anyway. My house was about a twenty minute walk and it was getting dark so I walked a little faster than normal. As I was walking someone came out of the ally way and grabbed me. It was Matt.

"What are you doing with that Oliver boy? You think he is going to protect you. Well he's not your mine and no one else's."

"Please just let me go," I said trying to hold in the tears that were starting to form in my eyes.

"Wait, did you tell him what happened?" his grip on my wrist got tighter.

"No."

"Liar," he yelled and smacked the side of my face. "I told you to never tell anyone." He slapped me twice as hard that it made my face sting.

"I swear I never told anyone."

"Why don't I believe you?" He pushed me against the wall and started hitting me. I started screaming. He was slapping me so hard I started to feel dizzy. The next thing I knew I was on the floor and everything went black.

Beck POV

I saw Tori scream and fall to the floor with Matt on top of her. I ran up to him and push him off of her. "What the hell are you doing?" I looked at him then at Tori, she was unconscious.

"Why do you care?"

"Because she's my friend and I love her."

"What did she tell you? She must have told you something because no one can love that."

"She didn't tell me anything I figured it out on my own."

"Yeah right, no one will ever know what happened."

"I think you should leave I was now." I was standing over Tori now and he walked away angrily.

Tori was lying there so helplessly. Her face was covered with hand marks. I picked her up and brought her to my RV. I sat down with her tightly in my arms. She slowly started to wake up. As she did she started to freak out. She was kicking and waving her arms around. I grabbed her arms and pulled her back together. "Beck," she said so calmly. She hugged me and started to cry. "It's alright, your safe now." Then I lifted her chin to make her look at me and I kissed her. She jumped up and out of my grasp.

"Why did you just do that?"

"I don't know. I kind of love you." I said with a smile on my face.

"What about Jade, wont she be mad."

"No I broke up with her."

"Why?"

"She was always so jealous."

"Oh."

"And I love someone else."

"Really, who?"

"You," I said that and her face got all red like roses. It was so cute I loved that.

"I like you to but this isn't really a good time for me to be in a relationship."

"I can understand why, but I will always be here for you." I stepped closer.

"I have to go." She stuttered and ran outside.

"Tori wait let me drive you its raining and I don't want something to happen to you while I'm not there to protect you." She smiled and nodded and I drove her home.
