Author's note: Hey! So here's the 6th chapter. You'll see why I uploaded a file called "The video" in this chapter. Its kinda like a guide. Anyway, thanks for reading and please share and review.
"I hope this helps" Cat said to herself as the video finished uploading to Youtube.
She tweeted the link and waited for what would happen next. After a matter of minutes, thousands had RT'd and tweeted her in reply to her video. She felt nervous to read them. She felt as if she had taken a huge step into deep water and she didn't know if she could swim back up. Cat was scared she had lost fans. But no matter how many she lost she would always stick to what she said. Beck was her friend and she needed to protect him. After taking several deep breaths, Cat opened her "Connect" page to see what words people had tweeted her.
One had said:
CatValentine , I love you no matter what and I agree that everyone deserves respect. (:
A smile appeared on Cat's face. At least someone agreed with her. But looking at one tweet made that smile go away just as fast as it appeared.
Just watched a stupid video from CatValentine asking us to support a talentless idiot. I used to like her but now I realized she's just there for the boys. She's asking you to do this so she can get the guy. That's all. One unfollow for you, Cat.
Ouch. Cat could feel small tears build up in her eyes. But she had to remind herself of this: That was just one person. She scrolled down to see just as many negative comments. As she went lower and lower down the page, her tears went faster and faster down her cheeks. All she wanted to do was respect Beck. That was all. She didn't think that was too much to ask.
She exited the page and went to the home page. Cat was just about to logout when she saw a something trending.
"Oh my gosh" she said out loud to herself.
On the #3 spot on the "Worldwide trending" list was this:
#RespectForBECK
Cat felt more tears streaming down her face. She did have people there for her. She just wasn't looking. She was too busy noticing the bad things a couple people were saying and didn't realize the millions that were supporting her.
Her and Beck.
She smiled.
"Compose new tweet"
Oh my gooshh you guys. (: THANK YOU. #RespectForBeck. Much love, Cat
Cat turned off her laptop in satisfaction. She had finally done something right. Looking at her watch she saw the time was 12:20am. She had spent too much time online. Realizing she had to be at the interview in less than 2 hours she hurriedly ran to her dresser. This wasn't like the photo studio. She couldn't show up in a casual outfit. She had to go in a fancy one since it was kinda like a mini-red carpet with an interview. She stared at her full makeup kit and thought. "This is gonna be looong"
Watching her come down stairs was one of the best things Beck had ever experienced. Cat was dressed in a white dress that came down above her knees. She stood with black high heels and her hair was done up in a classy bun. Her makeup matched the pink bracelets on her arms. And the long chained heart locket was just so beautiful. Beck was sitting on the sofa in Cat's living room. He stood up and walked toward the beauty.
"You look amazing" he said as he took her pink nail-polished hand. Cat smiled at him.
"Thanks" Her eyes looked magnificent as it shined along with the light coming from the windows.
Beck smiled back at her.
"This is a moment" Beck thought to himself. Unfortunately the moment was disturbed by a so-called manager called Michael.
"Cat. We need to talk."
Beck sighed as Cat walked toward Michael.
"About what?" she asked.
Her slow,steady voice shouted curiosity. Macy came up behind Michael, bringing with her a laptop. Cat's face went slightly pale as she turned to look at the screen her assistant was holding up for her.
"You started a huge controversy with that video." Michael began.
"You didn't even ask us first"
"What video?" Beck asked. He had no idea what they were talking about. Maybe it was something Cat had posted.
He walked up to where Cat stood and looked at the screen with her. Beck's eyes widened at seeing the screen.
#RespectForBeck is what we need! CatValentine was right. Show respect for him, none of it was his fault!
Help keep #RespectForBeck on the #1 spot on trends. We need people to take notice!
We respect you, Beck. #RespectForBeck
RT this if you believe Beck deserves another chance! #RespectForBeck
Several tweets like that was piled up on top of each other on twitter home page. Beck looked up to see Cat smiling at him.
"I did it for you" she said.
Beck couldn't believe this was happening. People were actually beginning to see him for a person again. People were actually gaining some respect. All because of one girl. Cat. Beck quickly took Cat in one huge embrace. He lifted her light body off the ground and spun her around in joy.
"I can't believe you would do such a thing for me!" he said after he put her down. Cat was laughing.
"Thank you so much"
"You're welcome" she said as she laughed and hugged him back.
Beck finally felt as if he could audition for a movie role and people wouldn't laugh at him. He felt strong again. Cat made him feel strong.
"Um, excuse me" Macy interrupted.
"This isn't exactly the kind of publicity Cat needs right now" she continued.
Beck was confused. Cat was helping out a friend. A friend who was drowning in life. All she did was help him get his head above the water. And apparently, she had done something wrong. Beck wasn't taking this.
"No. You're the kind of person she doesn't need right now" He said bitterly to Macy.
Cat looked taken back. He hoped what he said hadn't effected Cat too. She looked at Beck and smiled in encouragement.
"He's right" Cat said.
It was about 1:45pm when they arrived at the Staples Centre for the interview. Cat was thinking about what had happened in the house earlier.
Beck finding out what she had done, both of them hugging for what seemed forever, Macy getting fired and telling Beck about Lloyd.
While they were in the car on the way to the interview Cat had told Beck all about the date with Lloyd she had planned later that night. He seemed to take it well since he knew it was just a fake publicity thing but he still seemed mad at Michael for doing such a thing. Now Beck was standing outside the car door, a hand out to Cat. She took it and together they walked to where the interview was to be held. Cat felt so much more secure when Beck held her hand. She felt safe and warm. She wasn't sure but she thought she was falling in love with him.
"Good afternoon, miss Valentine" the lady sitting beside her said.
Cat felt incredibly uncomfortable. So many cameras and microphones were focused on her, waiting for her response. Fans were everywhere. She saw Beck watching her from a few meters away and she felt a little better.
"You too" Cat replied to the middle aged interviewer. Cat was bored through most of the interview until she asked this.
"You've been seen with Beck Oliver a lot, how about you and Lloyd?"
This was a moment Cat couldn't let pass. She had to let out the truth. Her fans deserved to know. They deserved to know that she liked Beck not…Lloyd. Her manager would kill her but she couldn't resist. Beck had brought new confidence in her.
"Actually, I think you should know this" she began. She swallowed the lump in her throat and continued.
"Me and Lloyd are not together. We never have been. Everything was a setup for publicity. And..I have had enough of pretending when.."
Gasps were heard everywhere. Cat looked to see disappointed faces everywhere, especially the one on Michael's face. She could imagine what Lloyd would think. Cat had just publicly announced that she was "breaking up" with him and that she was cancelling the "date".
"I'm in trouble" Cat thought to herself. This time she turned to look at Beck. He was smiling and encouraging her. His expression seemed open and just so..accepting.
She had decided.
"…..I'm actually falling in love with Beck"
