I don't know who pulled away first, but I wanted that kiss to last forever.

"Whoa," I said eyelashes fluttering.

"I know," said Beck

"So," I said rocking on my heels

"So," he said

"Beck?" I asked

"Yeah?"

"Do you like me?"

"Of course," he said pushing a piece of hair out of my eyes.

I smiled and kissed him again. You know those kisses in a Nickolas Sparks movie, it felt just like that. It sure felt like a Nickolas Sparks movie. I mean come on, girl goes to beach for summer, girl meet boy, boy falls for girl, girl falls for boy. The only thing missing is someone dying!

"I have to go," I said pulling away

"Why," he said caressing my face "can't you stay?"

"No, I have to help out with the baby."

"I miss you," he said

"I'll miss you to," I said kissing his cheek

When I got back to my house, I could hear the baby crying, and my dad and Cassie fighting. I walked to the baby's room and picked her up.

"hi, um," I started to rock her and she stopped crying "Aw, you like me?"

I brought her to my room, and I was holding her on my lap and I went on the computer. I wrote an email to my mom

From: Victoria Vega (victoriavega )

To: Holly Vega (singleandlooking )

Hey mom! I thought I would email you, it's been two weeks, sorry. Well, I met these really cool people, Beck, Andre, Robbie and Gwen. Andre is my best friend and totally gets me. Gwen is about my age and has her own catering company! It was her sisters (Beck's mom) but the sister died, so it was left to her. Gwen is really cool and has a daughter, the daughter loves me. Robbie is… different. And there's Beck *sigh* and I really like him! And he likes me! But, really, I still don't think there's a forever. Anyway, I saw Danny, (you remember him right?) and he wants me to go to dinner… I said sure, even though I don't think I want to… so when you get this, please email me back! I love you mommy!

Love,

Victoria

I pressed send and looked at Allison.

"You're so lucky you don't have my mom as a mom…" I said

I heard a knock at the door

"Come on in!" Cassie walked in, tear stained

"Victoria, your father will be living in a hotel for a while." She said

I got up, handed her the baby and ran downstairs. I walked up straight to my so called father.

"You are a bitch!" I said

"Victoria!" he said, shocked

"You are the worst father a person could ask for! All you care about is yourself! Allison isn't even my real sister and I bet you a million dollars that I love her more than you do! You didn't want her! You didn't want me and Trina! So next time you think about having an affair, keep your swimmers to yourself." I yelled

My father raised a hand, and slapped me right across the face. I fell onto the couch, then he punched me in the eye. I looked at my father, he had a shocked look on his, and so did Cassie. I got up slowly and walked out of the house.

I didn't even know what was I doing, I knocked on the door and Gwen opened the door.
"Tori? Why do you have a bruise around your eye, that looks bad, it's turning into a black eye. Why is your face red?"

"Is Beck home?"

"Um, no he's still at work…" I walked in "Come on in… I guess."

"Um, you can't tell Beck this, but," I said "My father hit me."

"WHAT!" she screamed

"Just, you need to help me." I said

"Ok," she said

I sat on her bathroom counter.

"Why do guys always hit girls across the face? Do they learn that in high school or something?" I asked

"I don't know, maybe that's our weak spot?"

"You and I both know what girls weak spot is…" I said

We smiled and heard the door open.

"Gwen!" I heard beck say "I'm home!"

"Gwen!" I whispered

"Calm down!" she said "Put hair in front of your eye."

I did as she asked "Here, hold this." She gave me an apron "Just say you needed a new one."

"Sneaky." I said as we walked out

"Hey Babe," said Beck

"Hi Honey," said Gwen joking

"Hey you," I said smiling

"Why's your hair in front of your face, you know I love seeing your face." He raised a hair, which I knew he was going to push hair out of my face, but, I jumped away, and screamed "DON'T HURT ME DAD!" Gwen and beck stared at me.

"Um, I have to go," I ran out of the house. I heard Beck run after me, so I stopped, I have tell him.

"Babe, what's wrong?" he asked

"Nothing," I said

"Tor…" he said

I moved my hair, and Beck's mouth opened "Whoa…"

"Yeah," I said

"What happened?"

"My dad," I whispered

Beck wrapped his arms around me, and I felt safe. These are the feelings I'm scared of.

"It's ok Tori," he said holding on to me "I got you,"

I held on to Beck for dear life.

Later that night, I was hiding in my room, my dad had already went to the hotel when I got home. Cassie knocked on my door.

"Hey Vikki." She said

"Hi," I smiled

"That looks bad." She said lifting my face, examining my eye

"It's fine." I said

"Look, I know I'm not your favorite person, but, right now, I'm the only one you got."

"Right," I said

Allison started to cry and Cassie walked out. I checked my email and saw a email from my mom

To: Victoria Vega (victoriavega )

From: Holly Vega (singleandlooking )

Hey my sweet girl, I heard about your father. Cassie called me. I'm coming to get you, I can't have you there anymore. Trina and her fiancée broke up. I'm not worried, they'll get back together. I'll be there in three days.

Love,

Mommy
