Looking at the confirmation ticket, he began to worry. Why isn't any of her stuff here and why is she leaving to New York all of a sudden?
He sat down on his bed to think this through, and he noticed the heart shaped diamond necklace, the locket, and the promise ring that he had given her on the table beside him. However, he was more interested in the letter that was next to them, so he picked it up, opened it, and read it.
Dear Beck,
I just want to let you know that I'm doing exactly what you asked. I'll get out of the way of you going to the one that you love. Obviously the 8 years that we have been dating meant nothing to you, but all the memories that we have shared will be cherished for the rest of my life by me. I promise that in a few weeks, you'll never see me again. Just promise me one thing though, be happy with this girl. I wish you the best, Beck.
Sincerely, Tori
P.S: I love you even if you don't feel the same way.
By the end of the letter, he was extremely confused.
"What in the world is she talking about?" he asked himself. "When did I ever stop loving her and what girl would I love more than her?"
He wanted answers, so he grabbed the necklaces as well as the ring and hopped into his convertible. He quickly drove to her house, and he was glad that he still had to key, so he opened the front door and ran up to her room. I was still open and he found one luggage sitting by the door to her room ready for tomorrow's flight.
He went to sit on the side of the bed and just stared at her. Beck had really wanted to wake her up because he wanted answers, but she looked so peaceful asleep like an angel. However, he saw tears on her cheeks from when she cried herself to sleep.
Instead, he took her hand gently not wanting to wake her.
"Tori, how in the world can you think I'd leave you for another girl? There's no one else that I would love more than you. Don't get any more ideas like this, please. It's breaking my heart to see you like this. I love you," he said while stroking her hand.
He then let go of her hand, tucked her in, kissed her forehead, and said, "Goodnight," then left her room. He went down the stairs and into the living room where he grabbed a pillow and a blanket from the hall closet and set it down on one of the couches. Beck had decided to stay here tonight. This way, he'll be sure to catch her before she leaves for the LAX airport tomorrow.
When he woke up, he noticed it was only 6 o'clock and he estimated she would be up around 7 o'clock looking at her flight time. He got up, put the pillow and blanket away back into the hall closet, and headed to the kitchen where he was going to make her breakfast. Knowing his pancakes were her favorite, that was what he made. Beck had his own recipe for pancakes which were everyone's favorite.
As predicted, at around 7 o'clock she woke up, but when she heard noises downstairs, she panicked. Grabbing a vase, she headed downstairs, but when she saw Beck, she didn't know whether to panic again or be relieved.
Sensing her presence, he turned around just as he finished squeezing the orange juice and said, "Hey," and walked towards her.
She was just frozen in place and when she finally snapped out of it, she was ready to rush back upstairs, but he had caught her arm and pulled her into a huge hug.
Tori had tried to pull away from it, not understanding why he was acting like this, but failed. He was a lot stronger than her, so she finally gave up. Realizing this was going to be the last hug she's ever receive from him, she just stayed there with her head on his chest, his arms around her and his head rested on top of hers. She fits perfectly into his arms like it was made especially for her.
"You stupid fool," he began. "Where in the world did you get the idea that I loved someone else? You know that I love you, and only you."
Beck was now crying full out and so was Tori. His shirt was now wet full of her tears.
She pulled her phone out of her pocket, and searched for the voicemail that was sent yesterday and played it for him.
"I have a confession to make. For the past few months, I've been living a lie. I don't love you and I have stopped for quite some time now. There's someone else out there that's better for me than you and I found her, and I want to be with her. You're the reason why I can't be with her, and I never want to see you again. By the time I get back, you and the rest of your stuff better be out of my house. If you really love me, and want me to be happy, let me go. Let me be free and be with her."
"Tori, I swear I didn't send that, but don't you recognize those lines? Those are my lines from the musical. Someone must have recorded me saying them and sent it to you. I would never do that to you.
That makes sense. Those really are his lines in the musical, she thought.
"That makes sense Beck, but that doesn't explain you losing your virginity to Zoey after you promised me we'd lose it to each other," she said in a soft voice.
This time, he was extremely shocked. His eyes practically bugged out and his mouth was hanging.
"Where in the world did you think I slept with Zoey. I'm still a virgin Tori and I want to lose my virginity to you,"
"Well, Zoey called me to go over to her house because she needed to tell me the changes that you guys added to the play. When I got there, I let myself in like she asked me to, and when I reached her room I tried to open it but it was lock, but I heard moaning noises and her yelling your name and telling you to go faster, harder, and deeper into her," she whispered as more tears fell down her face as she remembered what had happened.
Thinking for a second, Beck had put everything together.
"I got it Tori! It was Zoey. She had set this all up. I didn't sleep with her. In fact, I wasn't even at her house. I went straight to my parents' house after practice to wish them a Merry Christmas. Here, you can call them if you want," he said as he took out his phone and dialing his parents' number and handed the phone to her.
"Here,"
The phone rang and it was Beck's mom who answered it.
"Hello?" she said.
"Hi, Mrs. Oliver. This is Tori. I was wondering if Beck was over at your house yesterday?"
"Yes, he was. He told us that he wasn't going to be over for the holidays, so he came over yesterday to wish us a Merry Christmas,"
"Well, thank you, Mrs. Oliver. Oh, and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,"
"Thank you sweetie and I wish you have a great holiday as well."
They then hung up and she handed the phone by to him and ran up to her room. He quickly followed after her.
She was laying flat on her bed crying.
"Tori, what's wrong,"
"You,," she shouted. "You're always so good to me, and you still love me after I keep on accusing you. Why are you so perfect?" she half yelled and half asked.
He lifted her up and sat her in his lap as he sat on her bed.
"That's because I'll love you no matter what and no, I'm not perfect. If there's anyone perfect, that's you my little princess," he said then gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"So you forgive me?" she asked as she stopped crying and snuggled her head into his chest.
"Yes, and I always will. You're the one for me and I'm never letting you go. Now let me return these to where they belong," he said as he took out the necklaces and the ring.
He put the heart shaped diamond necklace and the locket around her neck and clipped it together. He then slipped the promise ring back onto her finger.
"I promise I'll never take these off again," said Tori.
"Now, you're not going to New York anymore, right?"
"Nope, I'm going to stay here with you,"
She gave him a gentle kiss on the lips and when she pulled away, he leaned in for another, The kiss soon turned into a make-out session. Beck was laying on the bed with Tori on top of him with their hands running through each others' hair and their tongues were exploring each other's mouth and were now fighting for dominance.
Tori then began to unbutton Beck's shirt.
Beck pulled away and asked, "Are you sure, Tori?" He was ready, but he didn't want to rush her if she wasn't. He was willing to wait until she was.
"I'm positive Beck," she said and gave him a kiss.
Beck and Tori had spent the rest of the morning making love to one another.
