Chapter 13: High on The Hills

(Beck, Tori, Andre)

Harris Residence

"It was my idea to go hiking up the hills of California, And i don't mean where the Hollywood sign is but into the closest national forest. Me, Tori and Beck went into Angeles National Forest to spend the night there, the reason I went hiking was to find out if my relationship with Tori could go beyond what we normally had. I always saw my self having more with Tori if she just gave me a chance, I just needed to know where we stood on that issue. I called Tori about what I wanted to do and she decides to call Beck."

Thought Andre, he was really hoping to just spend the night alone with his best friend/ potential girlfriend. He was always there when Tori needed him or needed advice or just some help- Always there. She never told him, but he already knew she had a major crush on Beck. He felt jealous, he felt sad that maybe something between them may never come to fruition. But as long as there were going to be alone, up in the hills, at night where they could see the lights of the city, he might as well could try his luck.

Andre looked up at the roof of his room, as he stared at the white canvas he lost himself, thinking about all the times he had to get with Tori made him angry, made him regretful. "No more time to waste" he said quietly. He fell turned off his lights and went to sleep, he couldn't wait to wake up tomorrow

Outside

It was a Sunday morning when Andre woke up, he got up out of his bed, went into his bathroom to take a shower and handle his business. He came out and changed out of his clothes for something clean, he checked himself in front his mirror one more time and went into his closet to grab a tent, garb, cloth, stakes, mats and all that comes with making a tent. Of course he also had to bring a sleeping bag, pillows and other things that come when camping.

He started up his black and white car which was a Toyota or Trueno 86, he threw his bags in the trunk and drove to Tori's residence to pick her up. When he pulled up to the curb, Tori was waiting for him by her driveway. Andre stepped out of his car and helped Tori place her things in the back of his car, he had some trouble getting it all in but thankfully Tori didn't bring so many things.

Driving by Beck's home, Beck was parked in his driveway and followed the duo in his pickup truck. He had his own tent, bags and a cooler filled with beer resting in the rear back cargo tray of the truck. He followed Andre as he led them out of Hollywood and into Angeles National Forest. In his car, Andre kept turning and looking Tori over and over again. She wondered what he was looking for,

"Something wrong Andre?" she asked him.

"No…why?"

"Because you keep looking over here…did you lose something?"

"yeah…a chance to be with you…"

"uh…what was that Andre?"

"You heard me…I'm comfortable asking you here, since there's no one here but us. If I were to tell you that…I was in love with you ever since you decided to stay in Hollywood Arts, how would you react."

"Well…we're friends, if you told me that you do love me…I…I don't know Andre."

"What's so hard about answering it…if I came out and shared how I felt about you, then shouldn't their be a yes or no answer. Yes I always had feelings for you or No I think we should stay as friends…something like that"

"Andre…can you just focus on the road please, we'll talk when we get there." she kind of sadly at him.

Andre blinked his eyes repeatedly like someone who was just defeated, he withheld telling her anything else until they got to the camp grounds.

Angeles National Forest, Camp

(Andre, Tori)

With camp settled in a round area surrounded by trees, there were two tents, one belonging to Beck and the other belonging to Andre. The fact that Tori forgot to pack a tent for her self and only brought a sleeping bag, pillows and other camping equipment told Andre that maybe she had planned to sleep with either him or Beck. Whichever way it went he wouldn't let Beck have all the fun, Beck decided to hang back at camp while Andre and Tori explored the forest. In the forest Andre shared his knowledge of the birds that made their home in the trees, and the kinds of plants and trees that made up the entirety of the forest.

With so much information to take in, Tori and Andre found a log to sit on. They brought with them drinks to consume when they got tired from walking, Andre had a Snapple and Tori brought a water bottle. They sat and gulped down their beverages, the forest was quiet but alive with the sounds of wings flapping, owls hooting, water running from a nearby river and the air blowing past the trees.

"Now that we're alone Andre…I want to answer your Question"

"Really Tori…wow…so uuh, what's your answer."

Tori smiled and moved some hair out of her face, she placed her water bottle on the ground and moved closer to Andre. she inched her face closer to his and puckered up her lips, he placed his own drink on the ground and leaned over to kiss her. For the first time best friends were kissing each other as if they were a couple, Tori felt his great need from the way his tongue invaded and explored her mouth. His hands began to feel up on her thighs and then up her chest. Tori jumped slightly from where she was sitting, his hard firm hand knew what to do and it was slowly driving her wild.

She up'd the ante by straddling him and wrapping her legs around him, squeezing him tight with the strength of her thighs.

"Tori…I love you, I love you too damn much to just think of you as just a friend, we sing together, we work together, we help each other. No other guy in school can give you that…I love you Tori Vega."

Base Camp

Back at base camp Beck sat back and held on to a beer can, he took sips and listened to the sounds of nature. The way the rays of light broke past the leaves of trees and shined down on the forest floor. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, he felt himself float and become like a bird, his mind saw everything in the hills and down below. As his mind flew he saw something that stood out, something that didn't belong. His mind which was like a bird perched itself on a tree branch to see a naked Andre and Tori below, He saw Andre nestled between Tori's legs, thrusting into her. He kissed her on her neck, temples and lips as Tori's hands clamped down on his ass; urging him to go deeper into her.

He saw them change up positions, Andre laid back as Tori who had a grin on her face straddled him, she grabbed him and penetrated herself right down on him. They moved in rhythm to each other, Tori was clearly enjoying herself, the way she tilted her head back and allowed Andre to grab and knead her tits said more for herself than words could. Beck's mind took off and returned back to him, he awoke with a beer can still in his hands. He looked around and saw that it was night time, a fire had been set up and saw Tori cooking something up.

"Tori?" he said sounding unsure if all this was happening.

"Hey Beck…finally awake, you hungry?"

"I…uh, man that was some funny dream I was having."

Andre came back to camp after having taking care of some business in the forest, he sat down on a chair and grabbed a water bottle from Tori's cooler. He opened it and took a large gulp, Beck sat up and stretched, he finished his beer before tossing it aside and asking Tori if she would like to come somewhere with him. She smiled and looked down at the flame, she was cooking up some things on a grill placed over the fire, she gave that responsibility to Andre who had no issue with it.

Tori stood up and followed Beck to where he wanted to go, she took with her a flashlight and lantern. Beck took the lantern and lead the way, he took them to a hill that oversaw the city of Los Angeles. It was beautiful and amazing, they sat down and spoke.

"It's beautiful out tonight Tori…you look amazing by the way."

"Thanks Beck…does Jade know you came up here? You know what she's like when she's left out things." She said with a slight chuckle.

"no…and I wouldn't tell her, she's too damn possessive and jealous. It's nice to just get away from that."

The two of them chuckled and laughed, they enjoyed each other's calm and warm spirit, despite being atop a breezy hill. They stood up and took one more look at the gleaming city of Los Angeles. They sat up and went back to base camp, Andre placed their food on disposable plates and put them on their seats for when they got back.

"you two love birds back already? Well ya food is right on your seats…me, I'm gonna go sleep. I guess you'll be sleeping with Beck then Tori…."

"Yeah…goodnight Andre." she said with a smile.

Andre smiled back and went into his tent, Tori and Beck took their seats and ate. They reminisced about moments when they were just freshmen in Hollywood arts, it rotated from funny moments, sad moments and shocking moments. All of this made Beck and Tori want to drink more beer, they laughed more and got more flirty with each other. It was late and both of them went into Beck's tent.

Andre awoke to the sound of Tori panting and Beck grunting, he reframed from turning on his lantern and only listened.

"Fuck me Beck…fuck me…"

Words and expression like those were just one out of many that he heard, from the words to the familiar sound of sweaty bodies smacking into each other. He knew what was going on, they heavy breathing and the sound of lips kissing…made him feel jealous, angry too. Beck was cheating on Jade, and for someone who once had a crush on Jade…Andre would keep this all to himself and change the outcome of this little event if ever asked.
