One Step At A Time

…

Beck and Cat were sitting in her bedroom around 8pm on a Saturday night in the middle of April, watching "Radio", which was making Cat tear up every now and then, but Beck would comfort her right away. They heard a couple of harsh knocks on her bedroom door and her father opened it with an irritated face. Cat looked confused. "Hi, daddy…"

Beck gave a nod to Mr. Valentine. "Hello, Sir."

"Beck." He curtly nodded to the teenage boy, but then glared at his young daughter. "Caterina Valentine, do you mind explaining to me how you were picked as a BACK UP dancer in your dance recital this summer and not the LEAD one?"

Cat sighed sadly. "I'm sorry."

"Sorry won't cut it!" Her dad snapped at her, making the petite redhead cower. "I pay so much money for these classes and this is the Thanks I get? I believe in you, Cat, I really do! But at least prove it to me that you're willing to work towards your full potential! You can be a star! Don't you want that?"

Cat nodded, tears running down her cheeks. "Yes."

"Then get your act together!" Her dad yelled once again. "No more backups in dance or in choir! None of this being an understudy or a co-star in a school play! You must be number one! Do we understand each other?"

Cat whimpered, but nodded again. "Yes, daddy. I'll do better."

"Good girl." Her father sighed out his anger and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Before he left the room, he looked back at his distraught babygirl and the speechless boyfriend. "By the way, happy 8 month anniversary, you two." With a smile, he left them alone again.

Beck paused the movie, leaving it frozen on Radio's sobbing face after he was rescued from the shed, and looked over to his embarrassed girlfriend. "Cat, what in the world was that all about?"

Cat huffed out her sobs and wiped her tears away. "Please don't pay any heed to that whole conversation, Beck. Please." She suddenly let out a sob. "I never wanted you to hear or see that! I never wanted you to find out how much of a failure I am and how I'll never make my father happy!"

Beck immediately scooted over to her and wrapped his arms around her. "Oh, Cat…you are so talented and you are not even close to failing anyone."

"I'll never impress him." Cat said, leaning into Beck's hold. "Nothing I do is good enough."

"Everything you do is more than enough in my eyes." Beck told her softly as he ran his fingers through her hair.

Cat sighed and looked to the TV paused on Radio's face. "Sometimes I feel the same pain as Radio does…"

Beck narrowed his eyes as he rested his chin gently on top of her head. "What do you mean?"

"He's mentally retarded." Cat bluntly said. "Sometimes I feel like the stupidest person that's ever lived."

Beck felt his heart crash landing. "But…but…but you're not."

"I feel like it sometimes." Cat told him. "Hey, Beck?"

Beck gulped, still trying to get over the fact he didn't know how to help his fragile girlfriend. "Yeah?"

"I wrote a song about my feelings a couple months ago." Cat said as she leaned back so she could look him straight in the eyes. "Do you want to hear it?"

Beck nodded. "I'd love to."

Cat let out a small smile of delight as she reached for her nightstand and opened a drawer, bringing out a notebook. She opened it and went a few pages before stopping. "It's called One Step At A Time and I'm going to sing it Accapella because I don't want to get my guitar or keyboard out." She giggled. She took a deep breath. "Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch…"

Beck knew that feeling. Wanting to grow up so bad, wanting time to move quicker. He wanted to grow up, move out, and be a famous star somewhere in the world. He wanted to find his place. And soon.

"You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting…"

Now that he was with Cat so much, though, he wanted nothing more than time to stay where it was.

"We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen and we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time."

Yes, he's learning to take a step at a time, because one this time is over, he'll never be able to get it back.

"You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew…"

Beck took Cat's hand as she kept singing her heart out. She threw him a genuine smile, but kept singing.

"When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
when you need to find the strength
It's your faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time!"

Cat suddenly took both of Beck's hands into hers and stared at him in the eyes, already memorized the songs in her mind.

Beck smiled as he rubbed their noses together. "I thought it was beautiful…just like you."

Cat squeaked with joy that he liked her song and she threw her arms around his neck. "Thank you!"

"Cat, I think you're the most intelligent, wonderful, amazing, and perfect girl in the world." Beck gave her a true smile once they released each other. "I just wanted you to know that."

Cat suddenly was teary eyed. "Beck, you have no idea how much those words meant to me."

Beck kissed her cheek. "It's true."

Hey guys, there's bad news. Our mom passed away from that stroke she had. Yeah…so everything kind of turned upside down for us. Luckily my mom left in her will that my sister (digidestend angel) gets custody of my brothers and I, even though the oldest brother out of us is turning 18 next month. Anyways, so my sister is a little out of it. She's still writing, but asked me to update for her because she wanted to go to sleep…in our mom's bed…she's taking this the hardest.

Anyways, updates will still remain the same amount of time. My sister is still writing because that's kind of her escape from the world. Nathaniel, her son, is with his dad for the weekend, so she gets time to mourn and write. She said something about some songfics...I have a feeling I may cry too, since she writes those damn tragedy stories too real. Like seriously, who here has cried at her sad songfics? I did on Held.

Pray for our family?
