:/ Lots of people didn't like the last chapter and I'm sorry about that. I don't know what the hell I'm doing; I'm just going with the flow. If you don't like it, don't read. I'm not gonna change my story just for you individuals who want me to do what you want so… don't bother tryna change my mind, kay? It's my story; I'll do what I want!
Thanks to those who left nice reviews, I love y'all! And just thanks for the reviews, nonetheless! So, enjoy this chapter! Beck's kind of stumped… :/ Poor guy.
Beck shook his head as he and Cat pulled away. "This is wrong; I'm dating Tori and I'm kissing you—you're sorta kinda dating Andre and you're kissing me! We're making out on my couch! What the hell are we doing?"
Cat frowned and lowered her head. "I don't know what we're doing, Beck. I know you're still questioning all this… You're in love with three girls and I'm not helping by making out with you in your RV," she sighed, "I'm just making things worse for you."
Beck repeated the headshake and put a finger under Cat's chin to make her face him. "Cat, you're not making things worse. This was all my fault, I phoned you and wanted to kiss you," he grunted while Cat slid off his lap. He suddenly felt… empty. "Don't you worry your pretty little face about it, okay? I'll get through this."
Cat bit her lip. "Beck, if you don't choose me, can we just stay friends? Pretend none of this ever happened?" She questioned. She was really afraid of what would happen to their friendship. She really loved Beck and she didn't want to lose him to some silly two hour affair.
"Don't worry, Cat, we'll always be best friends, okay?" Beck grinned handsomely at her and kissed her cheek. "I think I'm just going to sleep on it. You better get some sleep too, it's kind of late."
Cat nodded and stood up while running a hand through her red velvet hair. She walked over to the door and unlocked it. She opened it slightly and looked over at Beck, "I love you, Beck," she whispered to him before leaving and closing the door behind her.
Beck froze. Love? Who ever said anything about love? He just thought this was a silly onetime thing! A silly two hour affair! This couldn't be happening! Cat couldn't be in love with him! He wasn't even sure he was in love with her. He wasn't sure if he loved Jade, and he wasn't sure if he even loved Tori!
"Jade, Tori, Cat," he mumbled to himself, "Why can't I choose? They're just three girls! I loved Jade once, but our time has passed. I almost made Tori die, and I just straight out love to be around Cat! She can make absolutely anyone happy, and not to mention she told me something she would never tell anyone else!"
Cat seemed to be more comfortable around Beck than anyone else. He was always there for her, and always had been her best friend. He was there when she needed a shoulder to cry on, and he was always there through the tough times at home. He had been with Cat longer than he had been with Jade and he'd known her WAY loner than he'd known Tori.
Tori never liked to share any of her feelings with anyone. She wouldn't tell people what she bottle up inside—not even Beck. Where Cat would tell him anything on her mind! Sure, Tori was super nice, beautiful and talented, but Jade and Cat we're beautiful and talented, and Cat was super sweet! One thing Beck didn't like about Tori though, she was always stealing the spotlight. She got all the leads, all the singing parts—leaving none for the other kids.
Then there was Jade. Jade was protective over Beck, and she'd give her life for him—he knew that, but sometimes that just wasn't enough. She wasn't nice or sweet to anyone unless it was someone she was extremely close to, and even Beck wasn't that close to her. Sure, Jade was talented and beautiful, but that didn't cut it—not even close.
Beck was stumped. He climbed into bed wondering how long this would go on. He couldn't keep leading all three on. He sighed and pulled out his phone, sending quick texts to Tori and Jade, both saying the same thing.
Can we talk tomorrow morning? I'll meet you at school…
He blew out another sigh and got up to go to his bathroom. He leaned his hands on the sink while looking down in shame. He slowly looked up and glanced at himself in the mirror. He didn't even recognize the man he saw. He shook his head at himself and looked away in disgust.
"Great, now I can't even look myself in the mirror," he growled with an icy tone in his voice.
Beck decided to retreat to his bed and sleep. He knew he wouldn't get much sleep, but it was a worth a try—everything was worth a try.

The next morning, Cat woke up with a frown upon her face. She hadn't gotten much sleep last night and thought she knew the reason why. She slammed her hand down on her alarm clock that was still beeping loudly and sighed to herself.
"Get ready for another awkward day, Cat," she grumbled to herself and stood up to get ready for school.
When the clock struck ten to eight, Cat sighed and decided to go outside to wait for the bus. But instead of a big yellow school bus, Cat saw Beck's shiny car. She grinned and ran to the car where Beck was leaning against it.
Cat's arms wrapped around Beck's neck as his went around her waist. "Why are you here?" Cat asked, pulling back only slightly to look him in the eyes.
"I wanted to come give you a ride to school, I know how much you hate taking the bus," Beck whispered and pressed his lips lightly to Cat's.
Cat kissed him back, placing her hand on the back of his neck and pulling herself closer, but she soon broke it off. "Does that mean you picked me?" She questioned softly while putting her forehead on Beck's.
"You're pretty close to it," Beck winked at her and opened the car door for her to get in. Cat smiled at him and got in the car. He closed the door after her and rounded the car to get in his side. He pulled his seatbelt down and looked at Cat, "I'm sorry for… complaining yesterday," he commented while taking her hand in his, "I'm just so confused."
Cat nodded, "It's alright, Beck. As long as I get to spend time with you now, I'm happy," she told him sincerely and squeezed his hand in assurance.

"Hey Tor, I have to tell you something," Beck murmured as he walked up to Tori at her locker, "And please promise you won't get mad at me! I swear it wasn't my fault! I didn't do it intentionally!"
Tori shut her locker and looked at Beck questioningly. Cat was at his side, but there was no hand holding; she was just there for moral support. "What is it, Beck? You know you can tell me anything," she smiled sweetly at him.
Beck nodded. "Well, it seems I have come to a difficult situation…" He folded his hands in front of his body, fidgeting slightly. "Um, it seems I'm in love with you, Cat, and Jade…" He bit his lip and stepped back, "And please don't slap me, because Cat didn't when I told her!"
Tori glanced at Cat then looked at Beck. "You're in love with all three of us… Whoa, awkward!" She sang lightly and looked at her shoes, but then put her gaze back on Beck. "Um, I understand, I guess. But um, tell me when you find you what you're doing, okay?" She nodded to Beck.
Beck took a sigh of relief, glad she understood. He was very surprised though when Tori pulled him from his shirt and kissed him hard and long. Cat gasped from beside him and put her hand over his mouth. She really had strong feelings for Beck and it pained her to see him kissing another woman.
Tori soon pulled away and smirked at Cat. "I'll see you later, Beck," she grinned before walking off.
Beck's draw was dropped halfway; he was truly shocked by Tori's actions. Cat stepped in front of him and pushed his jaw up. "Don't drop you jaw, Beck, it's not attractive, and you may catch flies," she sweetly smiled at him and gave him a hug. "I'm sorry about all of this, Beck. It'll be over soon, okay?"
Even when she was in love with him, she acted like the best friend she really was. Beck loved her for that and was beginning to think Cat was the right girl for him.
"Thanks Cat," Beck whispered and kissed her cheek. "Okay, off to tell Jade about this…"
"I hope she doesn't slap you," Cat joked as they started towards Jade's locker. "Or kiss you…"
Beck cracked a smile, "What can I say? I'm beautiful," he gloated before glancing Jade's way with a smile.
"What's this about Beck being beautiful?" Jade questioned with a small grin coming onto her face.
"He's a doorknob," Cat shook her head and slapped him on the back of his. "Now, listen to what he has to say!"
Jade narrowed her eyes and looked at Beck. "Sure, go ahead. And if this is about the bridge thing, don't worry about it!"
"No, um, it's hard for me to say this but, uh," Beck swallowed before continuing, "I'm still in love with you, as well as Cat and Tori…"
Jade raised her eyebrows and glanced at Cat who was looking at her feet. "So you go from me, to Tori, to Cat," she laughed lightly, "You are such a player!"
Beck shrugged, "You're not mad, are you?" He cautiously asked.
Jade shook her head, "You can't control who you fall in love with, and if you're in love with all three of us, you'll find the right answer soon," she explained, "I'm not mad at you, or Tori, or Cat. Just, do what feels right, Beck—I'm not going to get mad at you for whatever decision you decide." She kissed Beck's cheek and gave Cat a hug, "I'll see you too later."
As she walked off, Beck and Cat both turned simultaneously to look after her. They both had the same look on their face, clearly freaked out.
"Did Jade West just hug me?"
"Did Jade West kiss my cheek?"
"Did Tori Vega and Jade West switch minds!" Cat and Beck both asked together. They were highly confused.
Okay, so this is the next chapter! I hope y'all liked it! As you can see, Beck is trying to decide and Tori and Jade are trying to win him over. Tori is trying to act more like Jade because she thinks he's going to pick her and Cat won't stand a chance, and Jade is trying to act nicer, for the sake of herself and Beck. Then there's Cat who's just being the loyal best friend! :)
So, I hope you guys like it, and as I said before, if you don't like what I'm writing, don't read it. And please review guys! I'm trying to get to 100! Whoo! I love you guys! This is really great for me! :)
