Beck was helping Tori paint the archway for the wedding in 'The Wrong Princess'. He was waiting for Cat in rehearsal, and though she had texted him ten minutes ago, he was beginning to worry. Maybe she fell down the stairs or someone stopped her. His greatest fear was that Jade had found out about them and confronted Cat about it. The thought made his stomach turn, with guilt and shame. He knew he shouldn't feel shame for Cat. He was 100 percent sure that his heart belonged to her. He just felt so obligated to Jade. He spent two years of his life with her. He just couldn't help but feel like she was his habit.
"- and then Trina was like ...Beck?"
Beck continued to paint the archway white. He was focused on where his Kitten was.
"Beck?" Tori's face flushed deep red. She was boring Beck. Beck wasn't even paying attention. She remembered when he fell for her as the stunt double, ever since then he's been her hero. Her complete obsession. She always suspected that he might be into her as well. Except lately. It was like this last month and half he was barley there. Well he was there but like right now it was like he wasn't even listening or caring.
"Yes, Tori?" Beck asked, shaking his head out his daze and checking his watch again, then his phone. No text. He kept glancing at the door waiting for Cat.
"I was just..." She got up and moved closer to him. So close, and he smelled so good. She moved her hair out of her face, flirting with her body. Maybe he would notice, even though everyone else did. "Wondering what you were doing later." Should she dare? Invite him over. Seduce him. Make him hers.
Beck raised his eyebrows, "oh, um. I don't know. Why?" Of course he had looked at Tori before, they had worked on numerous amount of romantic plays, they have kissed, and have had a large amount of body contact. But at the same time Tori knew that he was 'invested' in Jade. "Tori, uh." He really didn't know what to say. The way she made it sound, it was like he was getting asked on date.
"Well...I figured we could rehearse for the play..." She lightly touched his arm. He flinched and pulled back. She blushed bright red. "oh god, I'm sorry. I thought you wanted..." Cat. I want Cat."I just thought you might want what I wanted..."
His eyes suddenly softened. "Tori- I...Sure. I'll come over and rehearse. But we need to talk about. . . about this." Tori brightened up automatically and lunged for a hug. He barely was able to hug back.
"Beck!" Beck instantly pulled away from Tori and saw Cat. He smiled fastly and brightly. She was walking toward him kind of hurried and her eyes were strictly on his.
"Cat! Hey I thought you forgot about me!" He grabbed her hands in his and Tori stared at the interaction between her friends. Cat saw Tori's look and quickly removed her hands from Becks.
"Urm..." She took Becks hand and lead him out of the way behind the curtain,"Beck we need to talk." Becks eyes went wide. That was never a good sign. 'We need to talk,' always meant break up and he just didn't know where he would be without her. "No, No... Beck its Jade."
"Does she know?" He whispered firmly. He wanted Cat but he didn't want to break up with Jade in a way that would make him lose Jade forever. He still loved Jade in some way. With all that history it was hard not to have a place in his heart for her. "Did she hurt you?" She shook her head no.
"Beck...I found Jade..." She tried not to comment on the sudden worry in his eyes. He sincerely cared for the dark haired beauty in a way that was different from the way he cared about Cat. She tried not to mention this to him. this was bigger then her insecurities. It was about someone hurting Beck." She was in the janitors closet...with Robbie."
All emotion left from Beck's face, and he stepped back from her. He stood upwards. Straight, as if in the army and stood at attention. He blinked at her a couple times and the only thing Cat could do was twirl her hair. She waited for him to be angry. To be pissed the fuck off. Yet, that emotion never came. He stayed calm just breathing and staring at her. "Cat, I know you don't want Jade and I together anymore, but lying about it isn't going to solve anything."
Punch in the face. Kick in the crotch. Knife to the heart.
"W-What?" She stammered, taken aback. He really just said that. "Beck! She's cheating on you-"
"Jade wouldn't do that!" He defended, almost screaming. Sinjin and Tori leaned past the curtain to watch. "Stop lying! She would never do that!"
Cat gasped a little and put her hand over her mouth. She felt hot tears sting her eyes. All these years waiting for him, simply waiting. He would accuse her of sabotage. She loved him with all of her heart and he would do this to her. "Beck, I'm telling you the truth...why would I..." She couldn't seem to breath.
Beck turned away from her, "You know why...Cat, Jade wouldn't do that to me. She loves me." I'm the bad guy.
Cat stared at the floor in shock. Not bearing to look at Beck. Hot tears flowing down her check and onto her sundress. Jade wins.. Jade always wins. She will always have Beck defending her from all of her bad doings. Jade was innocent and Cat was evil. When did that happen?
"I love you." Cat whispered. Me, remember? Your best friend. The one you said was your everything. She turned her head sharply at Tori and the crowd who were watching, who luckily didn't hear her confession of love. "LEAVE." She snapped. they all hastily repositioned themselves away from the scene.
Beck looked angry. Not at Jade but at her. "Beck, Im not lying. I would never lie to you."
He didn't change his facial expression. It was still stone cold. "Yeah, well. You saw wrong. You probably made it up in one of your crazy stories. "
Ouch. Beck. Ouch.
"Oh..."was the only thing Cat could manage to say. She wiped her eyes silently. He just stared. Not knowing what to say to her either. Wanting to hold her and at the same time wanting to shake her till she said it was a lie. A game. She didn't, instead she walked silently passed the crowd and down the stairs. She told Skitsowitz that she felt sick.
Beck, in a fit of rage, at the entire situation. Just the thought of Jade with someone else, made him take the archway that he and Tori just made and tossed it straight across the stage. In a million pieces
It scattered across the small auditorium.
Just like Cat's heart.
