Wow. I got the sweetest reviews in the last chapter. Thank you all for reading every single chapter of my story. Love y'all. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Here's Chapter 10.
Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious.
They all waited in the Vega's house. Tonight, at 8 PM, Tori was going to come back home. It was a chilly Sunday night but no one was cold. Everyone was busy in preparing for her party.
It was Beck's idea and he was bringing her home from the hospital. He cared so much for the quirky brunette now; they were inseparable. He always thought of her as a best friend and they had always gotten along. And soon, he fell in love with her. When she was dying, he cried everyday because he thought he would never get her back. He always got what he wanted. He didn't want to follow his parents' rules, so he made his own. He wanted to be an actor and no one was in his way. He picked his girlfriend, even though no one in his family thought they would last. Of course, he never regretted dating Jade but he realized why his family was right. They were too similar. Beck and Jade always got what they wanted – of course, Beck didn't hurt people or be mean to them but it was along the same lines. Along the way, Beck fell for Tori, and why wouldn't he? Everyone basically fell for her charm, as a friend or something more. But, when Tori was drifting away from him, it hurt. The Beck that always got whatever he wanted was losing it, and he wasn't the laid-back Beck that everyone knew. He had broken apart but that was before. Now, his Tori was better, so he was better. He looked at his watch and decided that he should go get her. He was going to bring her home to the biggest, the best surprise party ever.
Andre was helping with the decorations. He loved Tori to death. And he wasn't just exaggerating. That little girl helped him in so many ways. She talked to him whenever he was in trouble; she inspired him to be something more than he was. She made him think about himself. Tori Vega was the reason behind him. When a person says "there's always a woman behind a man's success," it's true. For him, that woman wasn't the love of his life or his wife or anything like that, but she was his best friend. She was the girl behind his every move, right or wrong. Andre knew that one day when he would become something big, Tori would be there for him, smiling at him brightly, tackling him with a big hug, and telling him that he deserved it. They would still talk for hours like they did, being the best of best friends. She was always there for him, and today Andre promised himself that he would always be there for her.
"Hurry up, guys, before I cut your pretty little face into a million pieces with my scissors." Jade. She was happy, too. Actually, Jade was superb. She had been having the best days since Tori got better and they were talking and it seemed as though nothing was wrong. She would just cuddle with all of her friends and smile, yes, Jade West smiled. Her life was going perfectly swell, as Robbie would say. Speaking of him, she was wondering where he went.
"I'm finally back." Robbie said as he opened the front door. Mamaw called up Robbie and asked him to come over, and when he got there, he found out that Brenda was there and his grandmother was setting him up again. Robbie had decided to give his grandma sleeping pills in her orange juice. She fell asleep soon, and Robbie rushed back to his friends at Tori's house. He couldn't miss her come-back surprise party. Tori was such a great friend to him. He was glad that Tori was by his side, helping him with Rex, and even his girl problems. She was a great friend and whenever he wanted to be one, too, everything just went wrong. Like when he took her to Nozu for lunch, they were stuck chopping squid and singing songs about disappointing their fathers. He could just never "pay her back" for everything she did for him. But, he would, someday…do something for her that was big and wonderful. She would love it.
"Robbie!" Cat came over to him. She was more excited than usual. Why not, it was Tori's welcome home party. She had every right to be excited. They were all dressed up and excited, but not as much as Cat was. The red-headed girl was jumping up and down, squealing at every chance she got. She helped with decorating and brought a massive red-velvet cake for Tori and for herself. Cat really loved Tori. Even though she kissed Danny, Tori was a wonderful person. She would talk to her through her craziness. She would never make fun of her in any way. She would give her the soft underwear whenever she needed it. And she showed Cat to be her true self, not a fake blonde. Cat loved Tori from the bottom of her heart. And the heart of a five-year old could compare to Cat's heart. It was pure and unscathed. And there in there for all of her other friends, and Tori.
Suddenly, there was heavy beeping outside. Tori was outside with Beck and they all knew it. Someone turned off the lights and hid in their respective places. Soon, the door unlocked and Tori walked in. She knew her friends and family would plan something like this for her but she was surprised when she saw what happened next.
Suddenly, a song started playing. It was the song that made her embark on the journey of Hollywood Arts, with her crazy friends.
"Here I am, once again
feeling lost but now and then
I breath it in to let it goand you don't know
where you are now
or what it will come to
if only somebody could hear
When you figure out how
your lost in the moment
you disappear
You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action
you're never gonna fade you'll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy
Just remember me
when it turns out right
'cause you know that if you living' your imagination
tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination
In my victory
Just remember me
when I make it shine!
Reaching high
feeling low
I'm holding on but letting goI like to shine
I'll shine for youAnd it's time to show the world how
it's a little bit closer
as long as I'm ready to goAll we have is right now
as long as you feel it inside you know ...
You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action
your never gonna fade you'll be the main attraction
not a fantasy
just remember me
when it turns out right
'cuz you know that if you live in your imagination
tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination
in my victory
just remember me
when I make it shine!
Everyone can tell you how it's all been said and done (Ooo whoa)
That harder times will change your mind and make you wanna run
But you want it
And you need it
Like you need to breath the air
If they doubt you
Just believe it
That's enough to get you therYou don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action
your never gonna fade you'll be the main attraction
not a fantasy
just remember me
when it turns out right 'cuz you know that if you live in your
imagination
tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination
in my victory
just remember me when I make it SHINE!"
Tori smiled. This song was the basis for where and who she was today. As soon as the song finished, a humongous, gold-colored banner started to drop from the ceiling. It stopped mid way and in that second everyone jumped up from their hiding places and yelled "Welcome Back Tori!" and that's what the banner said too. She could tell that Cat had decorated the banner. It was too sparkly for Jade to have done. It was all too much for her. It was just beautiful. And Tori Vega started to cry.
"Baby, today's not for crying." Beck whispered in her ear, holding her tightly by the waist. She stopped crying and he brought his fingers to her face to wipe the tears off.
"Thanks, Beck," she said, "for everything." He nodded back and walked forward to help set things up.
10 years later
"Introducing, new-sensation, Tori Vega and her boyfriend, actor, singer, and dancer, Beck Oliver!" The commentator was definitely overdoing it. They were the new 'it couple' of Hollywood but that didn't mean that they deserved this much appreciation. They were on this interview as a couple for the first time and they were supposed to share their stories with their fans. All of Beck and Tori's fans knew that they had been dating for about 10 years and were probably going to get married soon. So, therefore, they were being called on for hundreds of interviews for gossip magazines and television shows. He let Tori pick one, and she picked one TV show all six friends used to watch as kids.
The interview went on, asking about how they met, how he asked her out, under what circumstances they became famous in Hollywood, and too much more. Soon, the commentator took a break. The couple relaxed a little, and drank some coffee, until Tori got a text message.
Andre: ;)
She showed Beck. What was a wink supposed to mean? He shrugged and told her that they'll contact him after the show is over.
Soon, the break ended and the commentator started to say that he would call up some people on stage for a little surprise. And he went on introducing. Beck thought they might be the new producers for his next movie. Tori was utterly confused.
"I would like to introduce the new music producer of Hollywood. Tori Vega's and Beck Oliver's best friend from high school, ANDRE HARRIS!"
Soon, Andre came out and winked at the two. So, that's why the text message came. He took a seat in the chair next to the loveseat in which Tori and Beck sat.
"I'm also taking the pleasure to introduce the dark actress of Hollywood, the pale beauty, JADE WEST." And with that, Jade came out from the curtains waved to her fans and took her seat in the chair next to Andre.
"Next up is the actress of kids' movies," the commentator said, "CAT VALENTINE!" She stepped out too.
"Last but not least, let's give it up for the movie producer and director, ROBBIE SHAPIRO." And Robbie came out of the curtains. It had been a couple of years since all of the friends had met and talked. They were in contact with each other but all of them were so busy that not all of them had one time to meet up and just talk. But today was their day.
All night, they talked and talked to the commentator sharing stories about the Parade Parade, the ping pong team, and the rest of their crazy adventures. Even after the show, everyone went to Tori's house and stayed up the whole night like old times, talking about everything.
No more were any of them….lost.
