Hey guys, I'm back. I realize it's taking me longer in between chapters, but that's partially senior year stuff and partially my other story, which is called '10 Things You Didn't Know'. Check it out if you want to. Or not. You know, whatever. So the show scene is happening in 2 or 3 chapters. If you're waiting for that. Please review. Also, the user I mentioned last time was basketball44444. Sorry for not remembering your name.

I'm not Dan Scheider, I don't own Victorious, blah blah blah.

Chapter 8:

Outside Beck's house

3:54 PM

Gavin's POV:

I hit the call button, and it rang twice before I heard Beck answer, "Yeah?"

"Is your house the one with the silver RV? Cause if it is, then I'm outside."

"One sec, bud." His head popped out of the door of the RV. "Come on inside." I heard the click of him hanging up.

I rode over, leaned my bike on the side of the RV, and opened the door.

Beck's POV:

I'm not entirely sure why I closed the door. Anyway. . . I stuck out my hand and he took it and gave it a solid shake. "How've you been man? Hey Jade."

Jade muttered a quick "Hey," back to him.

"I've been mostly good. A couple things are bothering me, but we can deal with that in a second. How about you? Adjusting okay?"

"Beck."

"In a second babe."

"You know, I've been pretty okay."

I raised my eyebrow. "Are you sure that's a phrase?"

"I have a friend who says it all the time. Anyway, I love it here. You guys are all great, people in general are significantly nicer than I was led to believe, and come on, we're in freaking Los Angeles."

"That's a bit better than okay." Jade again.

He got a sort of pained look. "I'm gonna be honest, I miss people. The reason for me moving here wasn't entirely my music." He hesitated.

"You gonna keep going?"

He seemed to think it over briefly, and finally came to a decision. "Yeah, but let's have this talk first. It is the reason I'm here."

Jade's POV:

Finally.

"Then let's step outside." They went to go outside, and I started to follow. Beck turned around before I managed a third step, and said to me, "Jade, it's probably for the best if you wait in here," and closed the door behind him.

I ran over to one of the portholes and peeked out. They talked for a little bit, but then something Gavin said really pissed Beck off. He had his jaw set, and he looked like he wanted to punch him. Then, his face softened a bit and he said what looked like 'continue.' Beck listened a little longer and then I caught a small smile on his face. They shook hands, and then Gavin said something that had Beck smiling and laughing. Thank God that got figured out.

When they stepped back in, I pulled Beck aside and whispered to him, "Well?"

"I no longer have a problem."

"Well what did he say?"

"I'm not sure that it's something you should hear right now."

5 minutes earlier:

Gavin's POV:

Beck closed the door behind him and stepped down.

"Alright, what's up?"

He exhaled slowly and then spoke up, "Okay. I'm gonna go straight to the point. Do you like Jade?"

That's it? "Of course I do. She's really cool."

He gave me this look that meant I was missing something, "That's not how I meant."

Beck's POV:

His eyes popped a little bit at that. "Oh. Well that changes things a bit."

"Do you?"

"You're going to hate me." That got me flustered.

"So you do?"

He hesitated. "Yeah, I do." That fucking prick. "But before you get angry and do anything stupid, can I say something? I think it'll help."

"Shoot."

"Yes, I do like Jade. Yes, romantically."

"Not helping."

"However, I swear to God I would never come between the two of you. I believe that ruining a relationship is one of the lowest, most unforgivable things a person can do. I promise you that I would never do that to you two. Plus, there's someone else I have my eye on," he said sheepishly.

My face softened. "Alright, I believe you. Don't screw up though. I think you might get more hate from Jade if you do."

"Absolutely. All bets are off if you guys break up though."

"I can deal with that."

Back in the RV:

Jade's POV:

"Just tell me Beck."

"No."

"Beck, tell me."

"Uh, you realize I'm still here, right?"

Beck got another one of his stupid grins on his face. "My bad dude. Hey, you going to finish what you were telling us earlier?"

"I told you I would," Gavin said with a sad smile.

"Then let's go. I want to know the backstory of Gavin Baker." I said with a toothy smile.

Just then I heard some upbeat, muffled music. "Hold on, I gotta get this." Gavin pulled his phone out of his pocket. "What's up, Rob?" He paused briefly. "Alright, I'll head right over." He hung up the phone.

"What was that about?"

"I actually have to go to dinner. It's my night to clean up after we eat. Unfortunately."

This is disappointing. "When are we going to hear your story?"

"I'll head over after I finish," he said. "I'll see you kids in a couple hours. Don't have too much fun without me, alright?"

Beck walked the 6 feet over to him and they shook hands, while Beck said, "Can't promise you that," with a smirk.

"See you later, Gavin."

After he left, I turned to Beck. "Why won't you tell me what he said, mister I have no secrets?"

He gave me that stupid grin he always has on his face. "It's not my secret, so I'm not going to tell anyone who shouldn't know. I love you, but I'm not going to potentially ruin a friendship."

"But everything's okay between you two?"

"At the moment."

Review, please. It makes me want to continue writing.
