A/N: I apologize for such a long delay once again. I have started my college classes and barely have time to breathe. This chapter was short but it will connect some missing links. I hope you enjoy! Review! Thanks to all of my supporters. Old and new!
Tori's POV
I stared at Beck who still had a grip on my arm. He was staring at me like he had never laid eyes on me before. My lips were still tingling from the kiss Beck and I had just shared. The feeling that the kiss gave me felt like nothing had changed; made me feel that we really had done this before, and that I had not only known him for years but for a lifetime.
"Tor…" Beck was still staring at me. "Oh my god." He lunged toward me and gathered me in his arms. He was holding me in a long hug. I could feel him breathing on my neck. His face was buried in my hair.
"Beck?" Andre is still here, my head told me. Beck buried his head deeper until I could feel his face on my neck. His skin was on fire. I could feel his breathing speed up. I felt his hand grasp the back of my head as he entangled his hand in my hair. My breathing sped up too. I had never felt the way I did right at that second.
I felt his body shake. It felt like he was crying. "Beck…" I whispered. "Are you okay?" His body shook again. The room had gone silent, except for my heartbeat. I felt like it was rocking the whole room. We sat there in silence and waited for life to happen before waited for life to happen before our eyes.
"Uh, I think we should go." Andre got up and waved Cat and Robbie with him.
As I heard the front door shut, I felt Beck's grip loosening so I released him. He sat up, but he hung his head. "Beck…" I reached for his hand. When my fingers slid around his open palm he didn't budge. "What's wrong?"
He looked up at me. "I remembered everything. The second your lips touched mine… my head went for a spin."
"Okay?! That's a good thing! Right?"
"I can't believe… I could forget you…" He looked straight into my eyes. "And everything I felt for you."
"Beck… It's not your fault. You couldn't control what happened."
Beck raised his voice, "I should have just… I shouldn't have let her… I should have been more careful!" Beck slung his hands into the air and back down into his lap. I moved my hand from his lap where it had fallen.
"What happened, Beck?" He looked at me in the eyes again and then back down. "Jade and I had a fight. And I left angrily. When I pulled out of her drive… I looked left and saw…" His face scrunched into a pained look.
"It's okay." I pulled him in. We were just sitting in the floor rocking back and forth and we stayed like that for a while. I wondered what was going through his mind and I would be willing to bet that he was wondering what was on mine, but we stayed silent. We kept our thoughts ourselves and rocked in one another's embrace.
Finally Beck looked up at me again. "I'm so sorry, Tori." He dropped his head again.
"It's okay."
"I should probably get home." He started moving to stand up.
I moved and got up to help him. I reached out and gave him my hand. He grabbed a hold and pulled himself up.
When I walked him toward my front door he stayed close by my side. He stopped and turned to look straight at me.
He stared for a minute and I swear I saw his eyes twinkle. With a smile playing around his lips he leaned in. When his lips touched mine my head spun around. It felt more amazing every time. Too soon, he parted and smiled. "Thank you, Victoria. You're an amazing person."
