I OWN NOTHING; I DO NOT OWN VICTORIOUS.
Chapter nine-
. . .
Have you ever had the same dream or nightmare repeatedly and you start to believe that it is trying to tell you something? Maybe something important?
Has someone ever told you something which deep down you already knew, but you just did not want to believe it or maybe you just did not care for it?
Have you ever gotten so mad that you did just about anything to get back at the person who hurt you?
. . .
*The Next Day; Only Two Days Before The Play.*
Every time Cat would close her eyes, she would have that same nightmare of the school burning down and all her friends and herself die. The nightmare in her head just seems so real and so graphic and it always leaves Cat in tears when she wakes up.
Cat tried everything so she would stop having that same nightmare, but it does not matter what the poor girl does; the nightmare always comes back and replays repeatedly in her head.
During the day at school, Cat went home early because her stomach was hurting, she left dizzy and she was tired.
Cat's older brother picked her up and drove her back home and even carried her to her bedroom so she could get some more sleep. Cat has two brothers; she has her older brother, Tyler, who is somewhat normal and then she has her younger brother, Chance, who is . . . special.
Her older brother, Tyler, places her on her pink bed and he pulls the pink blanket on top of her.
"Thanks, Tyler." Cat whispers with a small smile on her face.
Tyler smiles down at his younger sister by two years, "No problem; how are you feeling? Any better?"
Cat frowns and shakes her head 'no', "Nuh-uh, my tummy hurts and my head is pounding."
Tyler sits down on the edge of the bed and sighs, "What's going on? Is everything okay because last night while you were sleeping I heard you yelling. I was going to wake you up, but by the time I made it to your room, you stopped yelling."
"I-I don't, um, know what you're talking about?" Cat asks with a raised eyebrow and tries to lie, but her older brother can always tell when she is lying to him.
"Cat, tell me. Mom and dad are taking Chance to his doctor to get his 'special' medicine so they will be gone all day. So, tell me, what is going on?" Tyler asks with a bit of worry in his voice as he stares at his pale sister.
Cat huffs then finally mumbles an answer, "Just lots of drama . . . that's all."
"Okay . . . that's a start. So, now, what kind of drama?" Tyler asks with a raised eyebrow.
"The kind of drama that is stressful and annoying and makes me sick." Cat says with a pout and a huff as she folds her arms across her chest.
"Cat, tell me what's going on. What drama is happening now?" Tyler asks with a bit off annoyance in his voice that she isn't telling him everything.
Cat bites down on her bottom lip then she looks up at her Tyler's sapphire eyes and sighs, "There is this girl in my school and she is trying to take Beck away from me."
Tyler nods his head slowly and then asks, "Who? Also, what do you think she's going to do to you to get Beck for herself?"
"Kill me." Cat plainly says with no expression on her face.
"Cat, don't be ridiculous." Tyler says with a quick glare at his younger sister.
Cat shakes her head and her eyes widen, "No, Tyler, I'm being serious! She is going to kill me! I know it!"
Tyler just rolls his sparkling, mysterious, blue eyes and says, "Cat, she is not going to kill you. What grade are you in again? I mean come on, let's be serious here for a moment."
Cat pouts and snaps, "I am being serious though! You just never believe me!"
"Cat, I believe you, it's just that don't you think that the idea of this girl trying to 'kill' you is a bit . . . crazy?" Tyler asks with a raised eyebrow and a shrug to the shoulders.
"No! It may sound crazy, but it's not and it is the truth!" Cat yells with the most serious expression on her face.
Tyler never sees Cat being serious so now he is not so sure if she is telling the truth or not, "Cat, do you really think this girl is going to hurt you?"
Cat slowly nods her head and whispers, "Yes."
Tyler is about to say something else, but a soft knock is heard and slowly the door opens to reveal Tori.
Tori waves at Tyler and Cat and gives them both a half, small smile, "Hey guys."
"Hey Tori!" Cat says with a smile on her face and suddenly her face lights up at the sight of her best friend.
"Hi Tori, how's it going?" Tyler gives Tori a smile and Tori shrugs her shoulders, "I'm doing alright." Tori then turns to face Cat, "Everyone missed you at school today."
Cat cocks her head to the side and her chocolate eyes widen, "Really? Wait . . . was Rachel at school today?"
Tori shakes her head, "No, she was absent."
Tyler looks at Tori with his eyebrows knit together then he looks at Cat, "Rachel is the girl who you think is going to kill you?"
Tori gives Cat a look with a sigh, "Caaaaaaat, you told Tyler that you think Rachel is going to kill you?!"
"What?! It's true, Rachel is going to kill me . . . I know it." Cat first yells out, but then at the end her voice turns into a whisper.
"So, why do you think Rachel was absent today?" Cat asks, trying to change the subject.
"Maybe she wasn't feeling well just like you weren't?" Tyler shares his suggestion even though he knows Tori and Cat are probably going to ignore it.
"I just don't get why she would be absent when you were; can't this be her chance to get some alone time with Beck?" Tori asks, ignoring Tyler's suggestion, just like he thought they would.
"Yeah . . . you have a good point there; why would she be absent from school if I was? That would be the perfect opportunity to have some time alone with Beck." Cat says with her eyes widening by the second.
"Or maybe she just wasn't feeling well?" Tyler tries again with his suggestion, but of course, the two girls just once again ignore him and continue on with the conversation.
"Or we could just ignore me . . . that works too." Tyler mumbles to himself as he just leans back in a chair beside Cat's bed.
"I saw Beck this morning . . . how is he doing?" Cat asks as she starts to chew on her bottom lip.
"He misses you and he was worried about you. You just ran out of class and to the nurse's office." Tori says with a frown on her face.
Cat now frowns at her best friend, "I'm sorry I was worrying you guys."
Tori sits down on the edge of the bed and gives her friend a smile, "It's okay, Cat, we're all just glad you're doing better."
"Yeah . . . me too." Cat mumbles as she looks down at her lap.
"Well so am I if that counts." Tyler says with a slight chuckle and Cat and Tori just roll their eyes at him as he shrugs his shoulders.
About an hour later Tori and Cat are laughing and talking about normal things while Tyler is cooking dinner down stairs.
Tori then gets a call from her dad so she quickly excuses herself from the room for a moment and answers her pear-phone when she walks into the hallway.
Cat sighs and then grabs her pink pear-phone from the small crimson table that is next to her bed. She stares at it for a moment before clicking on her contact list and scrolling down the list of names.
Her eyes scan each name, but none of those names were the ones she was looking for. Finally, the redhead spots the name she has been looking for, Beck's name.
She clicks on it then she presses the 'text' button and then she begins to type her message.
To: Beckk :)
Hi, hi, Beck! Sorry I went home early today, but I haven't spoken to you since I left and I just wanted to make sure you're okay and all. I miss you a lot and if you're free maybe you could stop by here . . . ?
From: Me
Cat clicks the 'send' button and then she sighs, "I hope everything alright."
A few minutes go by and still no text from Beck. Cat begins to worry about her boyfriend who she happens to care very deeply for.
Tori then comes skipping into the room with a smile on her face, "Hey, hey . . . you alright?"
Tori could tell by the look of Cat's face that something is up. The redhead huffs and folds her arms across her chest, "Beck isn't answering my text."
"Trying calling." Tori suggests with a shrug to the shoulders.
"Kay, kay." Cat says then calls Beck's number.
A few rings go off before it goes to voicemail and then she tries to call again, but this time it goes straight to voicemail.
"Tori . . . he isn't answering and it's going to straight to voicemail. What if something happened to him?" Cat asks with worry in her eyes and panic in her voice.
Tori shakes her head and quickly says, "Cat, everything's going to be okay. I'm sure he's just busy or something. He'll probably call or text you back later."
Cat shrugs her shoulders and her facial expression clearly shows that she isn't convinced. "I just wish he would answer his phone . . . you know?"
Tori places her hand on Cat's shoulder and she gives her a small smile, "He's fine and he loves you. He knows you're not feeling well so he probably just wants you to get some rest. I'm sure you are the only thing that's on his mind right now and I'm sure he'll call back later to make sure you got enough rest."
Cat slowly nods her head then lies back down on the bed, "Okay . . . that's Tori."
Tori smiles, "You're welcome. You get some rest, okay?"
"You're leaving?" Cat asks as she bats her long eyelashes at her friend.
Tori shakes her head 'no' and says, "No, I'm going to just go downstairs and probably help Tyler cook dinner or set the table for him or whatever."
Cat slowly nods her head and bites down on her lower lip, "Oh . . . okay. Thanks and Tori?"
"Yeah?" Tori asks as she stops at the door; her chocolate brown eyes staring into Cat's.
"Please don't tell Tyler any details on what's going on. I don't want him worrying and don't tell him about the dreams- well nightmares." Cat says in a whisper as she looks down.
Tori frowns, "I won't, but Cat . . . you're still having those nightmares?"
Cat nods her head and gulps, "Yeah and every time I have that nightmare it's like they get more and more graphic . . . it's scary Tori."
"Are you okay? Maybe you should talk to someone about it . . . maybe Tyler?" Tori says as she looks down at the ground.
"No . . . I don't want Tyler worrying about me having these nightmares." Cat says, but then adds, "You know, it's like these nightmares are trying to tell me something . . . or maybe warn me of something."
"Cat-" Tori begins, but Cat shakes her head instantly, "No, Tori I'm serious! What if these nightmares are trying to tell me something?! What if these nightmares are a clue of what Rachel's planning?!"
Tori sighs then says quietly, "Cat, get some rest and we'll talk more about it later, alright?"
Cat frowns, but then nods her head, "Fine . . . night, Tori." Cat then closes her eyes and drifts off into a deep sleep.
Tori shuts the lights, shuts the door and then sighs while mumbling to herself, "Poor Cat . . . what are we going to do?" Tori then walks down stairs to help Tyler with dinner.
*With Beck.*
Beck parks his truck and slowly gets out of it. He has his hands deep in his jean pockets and he sighs.
He starts to walk up to the front door of a medium size house and he stops in front of the door. He stares at the white, glass door and hesitates to knock on it or not.
He takes out his phone and sees all the missed calls and texts from his girlfriend, Cat. He stares at his phone and then puts it in his jacket pocket and finally he knocks on the door.
A minute later a girl appears, but not just any girl . . .
"Hey . . . Rachel. You were absent today." Beck says with a half smile.
"Oh, yeah . . . I, um, wasn't feeling well. Not that I'm complaining, but why are you here?" Rachel asks with a slight chuckle.
Beck runs his hand through his hair. He knows that while his girlfriend was absent as well today and she isn't feeling well . . . here he is at Rachel's house.
"Oh . . . I just wanted to make sure you're alright." Beck says, but Rachel could tell there is more.
"What else did you come here for?" Rachel asks as she folds her arms across her chest.
"We need to talk . . . about the kiss." Beck says as he stares into Rachel's mysterious, dark eyes.
Rachel smirks and opens the door wider, "Well come on it, Beck."
And with that, Beck steps into the house and Rachel closes the door with a smirk on her dark, red lips.
