Tori's POV
That night, I had a really weird dream. It wasn't like that nightmare I had; it was just weird and I didn't understand it. Basically, I was standing in my living room and I was watching a conversation between myself and Beck and we were sitting on the couch. I was standing in front of the coffee table, just watching this conversation happen.
"I should have just kept my mouth shut." said Beck.
"No…you were right." I told him. I looked at him and myself confused. I had no idea what they were talking about. "I mean, if I'm gonna be successful, I want it to be because of my talent, not for throwing tantrums and wearing meat hats." What the heck were we talking about?
"Well, can't you be famous for your music and wear a meat hat?" asked Beck. I gave him a small smile, but didn't say anything. "Seriously; meat, whenever you want. Just right out of your hat,"
"Right out of my hat," I said with a giggle.
"Right out of your hat…in your mouth,"
"Simple as that," I said with a little giggle. I thought it was kind of odd how Beck lightly had his hand on my shoulder.
"So…" he said, scooting closer to me.
"Yeah…" I said shakily.
I watched as Beck got just an inch from my lips. My eyes widened. What was he doing? He's with Jade.
But then, he pulled away a little and I smiled and said, "Uh…oh…you," I said this while getting my hand, putting it in a fist, and playfully knocking it against his chin. He was looking at me kind of confused.
Beck glanced at me quickly, but then backed away a little. "I'm sorry…I didn't–"
"No, I'm sorry," I said while burying my face in my hands. "I…"
"I…I didn't mean to…"
"No, no, no, you…you didn't…" I told him. "You…"
"Then why can't we kiss?" he asked and gave me a small smile.
"Cause," I said with a sigh. "Cause of Jade,"
He sort of shrugged. "Jade and I broke up." My eyes widened. They were broken up?
"Yeah, but kissing your friend's ex-boyfriend…"
"Wait, wait, wait, since when are you and Jade friends?" he asked and I looked down kind of sadly. Then I looked back up at him as he said, "Last week, she took your hamburger; she just rubbed it against her bare foot." I scrunched up my nose. Eww, gross.
"What?" I said in shock. "I ate feet meat?" I kind of squealed and leaned my head against the couch.
"And…she took your spot in the Platinum Music Awards." That was when I was really confused. What were the Platinum Music Awards and what did Jade or I have to do with it?
"Look…I mean, I guess Jade and I aren't really…friends, friends, but we're kind of friends…I think. And…kissing her ex-boyfriend…" Beck was looking at me in a serious way. Not mad, just serious. "I can't do that to a friend."
I gasped and rose up in bed. I noticed by the lights streaming through my window that it was morning. I glanced at my clock and saw that it was nine in the morning. I grabbed my phone on my bedside, wanting to call Beck, but forgetting that I can't because of the stupid pass code. I made a mental note to go to Pear Store…wherever it was.
I jumped out of bed and ran out of my room and into Trina's room. "Hey Trina!"
"Yes, what is it, Tori?" she said a little aggravated. She was still lying in her bed, not fully awake.
"Can I borrow your phone?"
"Why?"
"I need to call Beck."
"And again I ask…why?"
I gulped. "I…I think I had a memory."
That sure got her attention. She turned to me and raised up in bed. "What? Are you serious? What was the memory?"
"Hey, don't get too excited." I said. "I don't actually remember it happening; I just know what I dreamed. Can I just please borrow your phone? I promise I'll be careful with it. I just wanna call Beck."
"Wow…I can tell you don't have your memory back," she said as she unlocked her phone and handed it to me. "If you did, you would have demanded me to give you my phone. There would have been no please or I'll be careful with it about it."
"I'm sorry." I mumbled and ran out of the room. I went to her contacts and immediately called Beck.
"Trina, what do you want?" said Beck when he picked up.
"It's not Trina, Beck, it's me." I said. "Tori,"
"Oh…Tori, hi," he said. "I'm sorry, I thought you were Trina."
"Yeah, sorry I had to call you from her phone." I told him. "I would have from mine, but…I still can't get into it."
"Remember, go to the Pear Store," he said. "I promise they'll be able to help you."
"I will, I promise,"
"Good," he said and then sighed. "So…what made you wanna call me on this beautiful morning? Not that I'm complaining, just…curious,"
"I just woke up from a dream, but…I think it was more than a dream." I closed my eyes and sighed heavily. "I think it was a memory."
"Seriously?" he asked. "That would be so cool if it really was a memory! But…how do you know if it was or not?"
"You see, that's the thing…I don't know." I told him while sitting on my bed. "But you were in it. So I figured I could tell you about it and…maybe you could tell me if it was a memory or if I'm just crazy."
"You're not crazy." he told me. "Just tell me about it,"
"Okay, here goes…" I said and sighed. "Well…it's kind of hard to explain, but basically…it was you and I, and we were sitting on my couch. And…we were talking about something called the Platinum Music Awards," I paused. "Does any of that sound familiar?"
"Yes…it does," he said slowly. He cleared his throat. "Let me see if I can guess what you dreamt…I tried to kiss you, but you said no because of Jade. You didn't wanna kiss your friend's ex-boyfriend. Am I right?"
I hesitated for a moment. "Exactly," I said quietly. "That's…that's exactly what happened."
He sighed nervously. "Yeah, um…that really happened between us."
"I just have a few questions about that." I started off. "What are the Platinum Music Awards and what did Jade take my spot in?"
"The Platinum Music Awards is just a big, high profile awards show that we have." he explained. Then Beck went on to explain the events that happened with Mason Thornesmith and how he made me dress like a diva and act like a diva. He also explained how when I stood up to this guy, he fired me from the show. So that's when he gave it to Jade instead. Then he told me that Jade gave the role back to me at the last minute.
"Ahh," I said, understanding it all. "Now my dream makes a whole lot more sense. I was just watching it going…huh?"
He chuckled. "Yeah, well…that's what was happening."
"Okay and I have another question," I said. "Were you and Jade really broken up?"
"Yes," he said. "At that time…we were,"
"Okay, cause I was about to say…how dare you try and kiss me when you're dating Jade."
"Oh, no, no, I would never do that to Jade," I said. "Or to any girl I was dating for that matter. I'm not like that."
"Speaking of which…how long have you and Jade been dating?" I asked. "Not talking about the time you guys were broken up?"
"Well…we got together at the beginning of our freshman year, so that would be about three years." he said. "I had a couple other girlfriends before her, but she's been my longest. And the best one. She may act really mean and tough, but believe me when I say it…she can be a sweetheart when she wants to be."
I smiled widely. "Aww, that's so sweet. But she didn't seem that mean when I met her two days ago. Granted, she did throw that puppet…whatever his name is, out the window. But other that…she seemed fine."
He laughed. "His name's Rex. And yeah, she was fine that day, but she can be really mean some days. Actually, it's most days. Jade is just a unique individual."
"I can tell." I said. "But I don't understand something…what made you guys wanna break up? From what I'm hearing, it seems like you guys are really close."
"Well, we are, but Jade gets jealous really easily." he said. "Like if she sees me simply talking to another girl, she goes in a jealous rage. And of course, this leads to fights between us. We have fought like a hundred billion times. It's calmed down since the last time we got back together, but it still happens every once in a while."
"Dang, that's crazy." I said. "But every couple fights,"
"Yeah, but it wasn't healthy at how much we fought right before we broke up the last time." he explained. "Every time we talked, we fought. There was no way around it. So it was kind of good that we had a break."
I nodded and we continued our phone conversation, talking about generally nothing, for another fifteen minutes or so. Once we hung up with each other, I went and gave Trina her phone back. She asked me what Beck and I had talked about and I told her nothing. Because it really was nothing. Just simple small talk conversation.
After that, I went downstairs and got myself some breakfast. As I ate, I decided that I wouldn't tell my parents about the memory I had. In a way, it didn't feel like a memory, since I still couldn't remember that event actually happening. But it had to mean something. My subconscious mind obviously remembered it.
I smiled to myself as I took my second bite of cereal. I really hoped this meant I would get my full memory back soon.
Okay, just so you guys know, Tori's dream that was obviously from Tori Goes Platinum, I literally watched that scene over and over and over again to that everything that they said right on target. I replayed it so many times just to get every single line perfect! So I hope it all is correct! :D
Until next time…don't forget to review! :)
