Chapter 8

"Morning!" Tori cheerfully walked into the room.

"And I get ignored…" she said to herself.

"Hey Tori, what ya doing today?" Cat asked.

"Nothing, why? Did you want to do something tonight?" Tori asked.

"You said me, you and Robbie can go get some ice cream!" She jumped.

"Oh, right. Yeah, okay. We can go and get some ice cream!" Tori laughed.

"But let me get some breakfast first, round 5?" Tori looked at the little red head.

"5 is fine, do you want to come Jade?" Cat turned her attention towards Jade.

"No… I'm going to stay at home and watch movies." Jade replied.

"Ooh, movies!" Tori squealed.

"By myself!" Jade glared at her.

Tori's eyebrows knitted together.

"What's up with you?" Tori asked coming to sit next to Jade.

"Nothing" Jade mumbled.

"Obviously it's something. Tell me!" Tori shook her.

"Tori, honestly I don't want to talk about it with you," Jade rolled her eyes.

"What did I do?" Tori asked.

"What did you do? I thought you and Beck weren't a thing? I thought you were just friends? You lied to me, Vega." Jade had tears at the back of her eyes.

"Jade, what are you talking about cause I really don't know." Tori sighed.

"I'm talking about your phone conversation between you and Beck! All flirtatious and happy!" Jade exclaimed.

"Is there a problem with being happy?" Tori asked in a high pitched voice.

"Only when it's to do with my ex-boyfriend!" Jade glared at her.

"What are you talking about, Jade? I'm getting really bored of this, I don't know whether if it's because you're paranoid or because you found out Beck and I are going out Thursday night!" Tori paused realising what she had just said.

"You… and Beck? Thursday night? A date?!" Jade's expression filled with anger.

"I'd hardly say it's a date, we're just going as friends he said so himself." Tori huffed.

"No no no! No way in hell will I ever see you and my ex-boyfriend going out on a date!" Jade exclaimed.

"Jade, how many times must I say it's not a date?!" Tor exclaimed.

"The date with you and Beck Thursday night?" Trina came into the room.

"IT'S NOT A DATE!" Tori screamed.

"Whatever it is, you're cancelling it!" Trina glared at her.

"I'm not going to stand there and watch my sister being used for some sort of bet or competition!" Trina bit into a sandwich.

"Beck would never look at me like that nor try to use me!" Tori shouted.

"Tori, darling. You don't know what sort of heartbreakers these boys can really be" Trina sat up looking at her sister.

"Wait, since when do you care about me?" Tori asked.

"You're my little sister I have to care about you, silly! I'd be an abnormal human being if I didn't" Trina laughed.

"You already are an abnormal human!" Tori rolled her eyes.

"Anyway… Jade, what was that phone call you were talking about?" Tori asked, everyone turning their attention to Jade.

"Well, apparently you and Beck were all flirty over the phone…" Jade sighed.

"And who told you that?" Tori raised a brow.

"Nobody" Jade replied.

"Well someone sure did tell you cause you said apparently we were talking all flirty on the phone meaning you didn't see it for your own eyes but heard it with your own ears from someone else!" Tori gave a proud smile.

"Well done Sherlock!" Trina muttered under her breath.

"Just a little birdy" Jade said quietly.

"Hmm… and did that little birdy happen to be small with red hair?" She asked turning to Cat.

"I know nothing!" Cat shouted running away.

"Cat, get back here. Now!" Tori glared at her.

Slowly, Cat spun herself around.

"Explain" Tori said waiting for a response.

"Well… the other night I heard you and Beck talking and you were acting rather flirtatious and it kind of freaked me out but anyways, you were saying things like 'no you're cuter, no you're cuter' and when you were hanging up you were doing the old typical 'no you hang up first' thing" Cat explained.

"Wait… was this Saturday night?" Tori asked.

"Yes" Cat looked annoyed from all this talking.

"I was talking to Dan!" Tori screamed.

"Dan?" The three said in unison.

"Dan, Danny? As in…. your ex-boyfriend?" Trina's face scrunched up in confusion.

"Yes!" Jade sighed in relief.

"Why?!" Trina asked looking very angry.

"Because…. We're back together." Tori said quietly under her breath.

"You're WHAT?!" Trina's face filled with anger.

"What's it to you? Stop getting involved with my life! Honestly, Trina. Ever since we got here you've been acting like my mom and not even mom acts like that!" Tori exclaimed.

Trina fell silent.

"Wait, if you were talking to Dan then why did Cat assume you were to talking to Beck?" Jade asked, everyone turning to Cat.

"I thought that Beck and Tori were dating" Cat replied.

"Dati- what the hell? What in the world gave you that impression?!" Tori asked.

"I don't know, you two look cute together" Cat giggled.

Jade rolled her eyes.

"Okay, enough with this. Now we know that it wasn't Beck that Tori was speaking to but her ex-boyfriend…. We can all sleep peacefully tonight" Jade let out a breath of relief alongside with Tori.

"I sleep peacefully every night!" Trina said skipping off.

"Can I go to my bedroom now?!" Cat asked.

"Drop in a hole for all I care… a deep dirty hole." Jade glared at her.

Cat felt intimidated and went straight to her room.

"So… I'm just going to cancel going out with Beck Thursday night." Tori said grabbing her phone.

"No, don't. It's okay" Jade smiled.

"No, I want to. I can tell you still have feelings for Beck. If I was to spend a night with him alone I would feel very awkward…" Tori laughed.

"Just make sure you don't tell anyone, it's pretty obvious he's moved on." Jade sighed.

"Well maybe it's time for you to move on?" Tori asked.

"It's hard, Vega. It's so damn hard." A tear rolled down her cheek.

"Hey, don't cry. You can get through this, you can believe me." Tori smiled.

She picked up her phone.

"Hello? Beck? Yeah, really sorry. I've got to cancel Thursday night… because I'm going out with my girls" she smiled at Jade.

"Really sorry, anyway I've got to go talk to you later, bye!" Tori put her phone down.

"Wow, Vega. You have no idea what an opportunity you've missed." Jade laughed.

Tori laughed with her.

….

"Tori just cancelled on me…." Beck frowned.

"What? For Thursday night?" Andre asked.

"Yep" Beck replied.

"Well, maybe she's busy?" Andre suggested.

"That's what she said…. But why would you make other plans if you know you're busy?" Beck asked.

"I don't know man, maybe something important came up?" Andre came to sit next to Beck.

"Something weird is going on, she wouldn't just cancel on me like that I know she wouldn't. I need to find out what's going on." Beck sighed.

"Well, how?" Andre asked.

"Hmm… I've got a plan!" Beck jumped up.

"Spill" Andre laughed.

"Well, we wait at the entrance of the hotel round 6 'o' clock? That's the time the girls usually go out don't ask me how I know. Anyway, we hide in the two plant pots on either side of the entrance, once they're a good distance from us we follow them making sure they can't see us. No one knows, no one gets hurt. Good plan, right?" Beck smiled.

"Yeah, I'm in." Andre laughed.
