Chapter...Idk
Tori pov
Recap on my life now. I got Jade as a mortal enemy and Beck as a friend. I am going to be in the play, and now it is lunch time and I am eating a regular sized salad.
The arrangement at our lunch table went like this: Beck, Jade, Cat, Andre, Robbie and Rex, then me. So I guess I was also sitting next to Beck, which Jade was not to fond about.
"So, what have you done so far with the songs?" I asked Andre.
"Well, actually, I-"Andre was cut off by Jade.
"Tori, nobody cares about you or what you want to know." Jade spat overtop of Beck.
"Jade, calm down." I heard Beck comment.
"Why are you defending her?" Jade shot back.
"Well, she is my friend and I-"
"Yeah, yeah, we know you love her. What about me, though" Jade fired.
"Wait, stop, rewind, and pause."I gestured with my hands as I spoke. "Since when was Beck in love with me? Why do you think there is something going on here?" I questioned. Honestly, why did she think that there was something there? More than friendship.
"Bitch, don't act stupid, we all know that you had a crush on him since you came here. You fucking screw everyone over especially me and you are trying to steal him away from me too. Aww, don't act so stupid, Tori, you are not a good actress at all. I bet you slept with the director to get your spot. We all know how you are determined to do whatever it takes to get what you want, especially attention." Jade smirked, then wound her arm in Beck's and layed her head on his shoulder.
Even he was speechless. Everyone was.
"Jade, why would you think that I would sleep with a teacher to get the lead in a play?" That part hurt me the most.
"So you do not deny your love for Beck." Jade said calmly and Beck looked from her to me. I did the same, but between everyone at our table.
"JADE! I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH BECK!" I screamed, and I even saw her jump a little at the sound of my voice. I was so pissed, I walked away. I left my food there. I suddnely didn't feel hungry anymore. I heard my name called by Cat, Robbie, and Andre, but not Beck or Jade. I could feel eyes on me, and I felt really uncomfortable. I felt a hand on my wrist, trying to pull me back, but I ignored it and walked. I didn't walk to school though. I started to walk home.
As I rounded the corner, I smashed directly into someone. I looked up to see Ryder Daniels looking at me, smiling. He chuckled a little as I apologized.
"I aam sooo sorry, Ryder. I didn't mean to run into you-"
"Tori, It's okay, chill out." Hesaid while gripping my shoulders.
"Alright."
"Hey, I was actually in the mood to talk to you!" He said while I started walking again. He trailed to my left.
"Okay..What about?"
"Well, this is going to sound really straight-forward, but do you wanna go on a date with me sometime?" He asked.
"Sure!" I was excited. He was one of those really cute people, muscley, dashing, bad-boy-ish. I was actually pretty suprised that he was interested. He never was before.
"Okay, so tonight at 7." He began to walk away, and then I remembered that I had to work. Eh, I could call off, we usually weren't busy on weeknights like this one.
"Wait, are we meeting-" I began to ask.
"I know where you live." I heard him yell. I didn't know if I should have felt relieved or a little creeped out.
"Uh..."I started to walk home again, and once I made it there I walked in the doors and straight to my room. Today wasn't even all that bad of a day. I told off Jade, AND managed to get a date for tonight.
Crap, I had to go talk to my boss at work.
I picked up my house keys and cell phone and began walking to the cafe.
I checked my phone. 5 messages. Guess who.
Andre: Tori, are you okay? Stay safe.
Cat:Toriii! Where did you go?
Beck: Hey Tor are you okay?
Beck:Tell me where you are, I'll come and get you.
One from Cat, Andre, and two from Beck. Too bad I didn't answer any of them...
Finally, I made it to the cafe. I walked in and immediately saw Martha, my boss.
"Martha!" I yelled as I got to her while winding through all of the round and square tables.
"Girl, you're supposed to be in school!" She said, but smiled at the thought of me ditching.
"I left early, do you think that I could take this evening off?"
"May I ask why?"
"I have a date." I answered smugly.
"That's great, you and the lucky man should have it here!"
"haha I actually don't know where we are going, he just said he was picking me up at 7."
"Ohh, sounds like fun!"
"I know."
"So who is the lucky man?"
"Ryder Daniels." She gave me a weird look that I did not understand, and I think she wanted it that way.
"BE careful with that boy, he is a player." She said. I love this african american woman. She is like my second mother.
"I know, I know." I said.
"Soo...Can I have the night off?"
"Well..."She trailed off in thought, but I think that she was just messing with me.
"Pleaseee?"I begged. on my knees. like a little girl. That always got to her.
"Oh, okay." I jumped up, gave her a huge hug and started jumping around.
"Thanks, Martha!" I screamed.
"Alright calm down, Tori. Hey, I gotta get back to work so I will see you tomorrow?"
"Sure, thanks again Martha." I hugged her again. I was so excited for my date.
"Bye, sugar" she yelled to me as I walked/ran out the door.
"See ya!."
I was walking past an alley on my way home when I was pulled into the alley.
I felt a hand on my mouth and a hand around my waist. This hand wasn't like a farmiliar hand, though. It was rough, and tight. There was a hand reaching down to take my pants off. NOT on my watch.
I bit the mand's hand and then punched him in the face.
He got back up and I heard a car drive past the alley, but I kept myself focused on the mugger. There was a mask on the mugger's face, along with gloves and there was no skin showing.
The mugger came back at me, knocking me down and was on top of me, and before I could do anything, he started hitting me and slapping me. I punched him again and kicked him in the groin. I heard another car and sprinted down the alley towards the road. A car parked in front of the alleyway, and it looked really familiar, but I didn't really look at it before I felt something on my back. Then I hit the ground. I was on my stomach, so there was nothing I could really do. I flailed around as much as I could.
My belt was off, but then the mugger got off and smacked me with it across the face. I backed up on the ground to the wall before I saw someone running towards the mugger. Was that...I couldn't tell. I stayed there and balled up into a ball as I watched the mysterious person pummel the crap out of the mugger. I hated feeling this helpless, but I did all I could. I did fight back. And he seemed pretty drained while the mysterious person finished the guy off.
Not kill him, but leave him to the police that soon showed up.
He came over to me, and that is when I realized I was crying, and looking down. I looked at the car again, and then back at the person that helped me. Then it dawned on me.
Beck.
He ran over to me while the police took the man away.
"Tori, hey, look at me."I refused to look, though.
"C'mon, Tor, look at me? Please?"Then I decided to look up. I looked behind Beck, though, and saw the mugger escape the police and run towards us. I squealed, which made Beck turn around, and then I heard a loud bang.
I cringed at the sound. Beck had came over to my side and put hid arm around me comfortingly. Like any friend would. I looked at the mugger again and he ran towards us, but then I heard the bang again. I cringed into Beck's shoulder, then the man fell on me.
I threw him off and stood up, Beck quickly behind me. I backed away and tried to run. I was grabbed around the waist though, keeping me from running any more. I lost my leg- strength and collapsed, crying hysterically. I mean, what would you do if you were just attacked and watched the police kill your attacker and the dead body fell on you?
As I fell, I could feel Beck's grip on me tighten. He came to the ground with me and held me while I cried. The police came over and tried to question me, but I ignored them.
I just wanted to go home.
I have went through too much today.
While rocking back and forth, I managed to get out "home" and Beck seemed to understand. While the police were on the phone with me parents, Beck carried me Bridal style to his car and gently laid me in the passenger seat. I managed to calm down on the crying, too. He managed to make it to the driver's side of his car.
While driving, I balled up facing him. He put his one hand on the wheel, and the other on my knee. I can't seem to catch a break, can I?
"Tori..."Beck tried soothing me, but it didn't work. I was too rattled.
He pulled into a random parking lot so we could talk.
"Tor, what happened?" He pleaded.
My attempt at an answer was a fail the first time.
"I-you-fight-alley-I" then I broke down again.
"Aww, don't do this, please calm down." he said while rubbing my back.
Once I got myself together a little, I explained,
"I was walking home- and I ran into Ryder-he asked me out- tonight-I went to work to -take off to go-and on my way home-"I cried for a few seconds, then I finished.
"I walked past the alley. He covered my mouth and tried to pull my pants down, but I bit his hand and punched him. He jumped on me again, and started to be-"my voice cracked."Then once I escaped him, he got me again, took my belt, and-" I pulled the mirror down and saw the huge welt on my cheek."Oh my God." I slouched back down in the seat, clutching my cheek.
Beck finally intereupted. "Let me see." he gently turned my head to face him with his hand on my chin and removed my hand from my face. He saw the welt and cringed at the sight of it.
I quickly faced the front . "I want to go home, now."
"Wait. I realized what parking lot we were in. He left me in the car while he stepped into his RV. when he walked out, he had a bag of ice in his hands.
"Here," he gently placed the ice on my cheek. I couldn't help but smile. It felt so much better with the ice.
"Ah, there's the smile I have been waiting to see." I then let go of the smile. I looked away and out the window.
"I want to go home."I said again.
He sighed and started the car. "I thought you weren't mad at me anymore." he muttered.
It broke my heart to hear him say that. "I can't believe you just said that." I was also angry too.
"Well believe it because I did." He said. I started to cry again. I can't take it anymore.
"Oh, Tor, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." He tried to apoligize, but we had gotten home.
He started to get out, but I opened the door before he could, and by the time he was to the other side of the car I was halfway up the steps to my house.
"Tori!" I stopped and turned around, still crying. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to act the way I did."
"Yeah, and I didn't mean to have your girlfriend want to kill me and to get att-"I couldn't finish becuse I got choked up. I just turned and began walking up the steps. I opened the door and walked into the house to an empty house.
"Happy Birthday, Tori" I muttered to myself. Yeah, I think everyone forgot, but oh well, they forget every year.
"Yeah, what a nice birthday. So great" I walked over to my couch and lie down . I closed my eyes and fell asleep on my couch, thinking of how my birthday could have been 'any better'.
Author's note: Well, I know I said I would do the time thing but Im not anymore. Ya didn't expect it to be her birthday, did you? haha unexpected!
