Tori took off a piece of lint that was resting on her floral print skinny jeans and dropped it into the trash can then looked in the mirror. She admired her outfit which was well put together before stepping out the house and into her truck. She pulled out the driveway and onto the busy road.
Tori was on her way to meet up with some old friends at a diner while beck was off at work. It's been a year into their relationship and it's been the best. Beck got offered a lead role in a huge action movie that's coming out sometime next month and tori sings at a classy restaurant every weekend. Not the best job but she's quickly on her way to fulfilling her dream, being a successful singer.
Tori was snapped back to reality when her JPS spoke.
Turn right and you have arrived at your destination
The mechanical voice spoke and tori followed it's instructions. She parked her car and got out. The cool breeze swept her hair off her shoulders and made it dance around in the air. She tried to tame the mess while walking quickly into the small diner. When she made it inside she pulled off her cream colored gloves and ran her naked fingers through her hair then walked to the women behind the desk.
"I'm here with…" she begun only to be cut off by a high squealing voice.
"Tori! Over here!" a red head called while waving her hand to tori. She walked over to the table in the corner of the room and sat down on the red velvet colored chair.
"hey vega" tori looked at the girl in which the voice came from. She had short midnight black hair with a blue streak running through it. Her skin was as pale as snow but her beauty was still striking.
"hey jade" tori and jade weren't always friends. They used to never get along as kids. Jade was jealous of her since she had a huge crush on beck as kids but he was always hanging out with tori and it made her angry. She would try to make her life a living nightmare everyday, doing things like throwing gum in her hair, which backfired on her since tori ended up getting a very cute haircut that beck liked a lot. She also spread rumors but no one believed them and made fun of her daily. But eventually after beck left they became closer. They still have their little spats but overall their pretty close. Almost as close as tori and cat.
"may I take your order?" a blue hair waitress walked over with a note pack. The three girls were a little taken back of her strange appearance but they've seen worse in Hollywood Arts.
"it's about time" jade rolled her eyes and lifted her menu.
"jade!" tori shot jade a look of disapproval.
"what!?" she asked defensively and smirked. Tori ignored her and ordered fries and a turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes, jade ordered chicken wings and fries and cat ordered a salad.
"so jade… how's it going with andre?" jade's dull expression shot into a shy smile at the sound of her boyfriends name. Tori took this as a good sign.
"real good actually. Well… better then good. Look!" jade shot her left hand up from under the table exposing a beautiful, flawless diamond ring wrapped around her ring finger.
"he proposed!" tori and cat squealed and jade even joined in half way through which was very uncharacteristic.
"this is so exciting! I was wondering when he was going too! You guys have been together for like 3 years now!" tori mentioned while holding jades hand in hers and examining the beautiful ring.
"hey tori?" cat and tori released jade's hand. The waitress came over and handed them their soda's before leaving again.
"yeah cat?"
"do you think beck will propose to you?" cat asked with the most innocent voice. Tori nearly spit out her soda at the question but instead choked.
"yeah vega. Cat's engaged, I'm engaged. When's your turn?" jade smirked and crossed her arms. They may be close but she still enjoyed making the brunette uncomfortable. Tori coughed for a few minutes before answering.
"ummm… ha ha… well I don't know. We have only been together for a year" tori laughed nervously and ran her hand through her brown waves.
"a year is long enough. Cat's and robbie only dated for 6 months before getting engaged. You said beck loves you, why isn't he proposing then." tori felt a little angered by jades hostility.
"maybe he's not ready jade. Why are you being so mean!" cat quickly came to her defense when she realized tori didn't know what to say.
"I'm just saying. I'm your friend vega and I don't want to see you waste your time on someone who doesn't plan on making a future with you" jade got to her point. Her hostile behavior was her way of being a friend and trying to care for tori.
"well what's your excuse jade!? You and andre were together for 3 years before he decided to take it to the next level!" tori was now yelling from across the table. She never likes to let her anger result in yelling but when it comes to beck she can't help but loose control.
"well were engaged now. We're getting married. That's a step farther then you and beck" tori's outburst didn't seem to faze her.
"guys stop!" cat pulled her hands over her ears and shouted at her friends. They quickly stopped arguing and instead gave each other angry, annoyed looks.
"I'm leaving" tori's blood was boiling and she couldn't handle it. She could feel another outburst coming so she instead jumped out her chair and stomped to the exit.
"tori stay!" cat shouted to her but she ignored her.

I pushed the door open and a cool gust of wind gently smacked my body. It's December and there's snow on the floor and absolutely freezing. I left my stupid jacket at home by accident. I put my hat and gloves on before walking to my car and opening the door.
Jade is so wrong. She's just jealous of mine and beck's relationship but she shouldn't be jealous… she has andre. Ugh she can be such a gang. So what if beck hasn't proposed to me yet. We've only been together for a year… but we have known each other since we were babies. Jade does have a point… what's taking him so long.
What if she was right. Maybe beck doesn't plan on taken our relationship to the next level. I want to get married someday and have kids. I'm 23 now and I wanted to get married and have kids in an early age but I'm running out of time. Maybe I am wasting my time. I love beck so much, always have and always will, I would even die for him but if he's not planning on giving me what I want in life then I can't keep up with this dead end relationship.

"she's going to love this" beck said to andre while he admired the diamond ring in his palm.
"man who wouldn't. it's perfect and that diamond is huge!" andre looked at the ring, taken back by it's beauty.
"well only the best for tori" beck smiled and handed the gorgeous piece of jewelry back to the tall, slim man behind the counter. He watched him place the ring in a tiny purple velvet box and close it.
"that will be $21,900" beck pulled his wallet from his back pocket and took out check book. He wrote down the amount of money and signed the paper then handed it to the man.
"damn beck! How can you afford this? I only spent $8,000 on Jades ring." andre spoke astonished of the price and beck's calm mood.
"I'm an actor andre, we get paid a lot of money." beck shrugged and laughed at his reaction. The man handed beck a small hard gold colored bag that read 'KAY jewelers' in bold black letters.
"thank you and have a nice day" beck and andre returned the kind nature with a nod of the head and made their way out the exit of the famous jewelry store. Beck griped the bag tight as the harsh wind blew hard against every object in it's way including him and andre. They gathered in beck's new black lexus and pulled out the busy parking lot.
"fucking wind" beck mumbled loud enough for andre to hear and laugh.
"did you guess start decorating for Christmas yet?" andre rubbed his hands together creating a warm friction. He reached over to the heat and turned it on full blast.
"nah not yet" beck shrugged. He loves Christmas but with all the chaos from filming the movie he hasn't had time to decorate.
"dude Christmas is a week from today" andre looked at him in disbelief. Beck always decorates for the holidays.
"I no I no. I'll probably do it tomorrow with tori. She's been bugging me for a few weeks to go with her" beck cut between cars trying to make it before the green light turns red.
"did you get her a present yet?" he didn't make it.
"the ring. I'm going to propose on Christmas eve then on Christmas ima give her a few more expensive gifts. Did you get jade her gift yet?" beck leaned back in his seat waiting for the light to change, it was taking forever,
"yeah. I got her a bunch of stuff and I found the real scissors from her favorite movie the scissoring so ima give her those too."
"nice. Hey thanks for coming with me man." beck spoke from the drivers seat as they pulled out into traffic.
"no problem. Ima call jade and see how the lunch went. Make sure you hide that bag, tori might be home and she still thinks you went to work." andre pulled out his pear phone and dialed his fiancé's number.
"wow it's crazy how me, robbie and you, soon, are all engaged… who would've thought" andre opened his mouth to speak some more but he stopped when he heard shouting in his ear.
"cat! Get out of that rocket ship! That rides for babies!" jade screamed at the red head who was giggling and riding a rocket ship outside of food market.
"jade? Jade!" andre called trying to draw her attention back to the phone.
"what! O hey babe? What's up?" jade's angry mood changed quick when she remembered who was on the other side of the phone. Andre laughed and spoke back.
"hey babe. How'd lunch go with cat and tori?" he asked while pointing at a McDonalds down the road. Beck got the hint and switched lanes so he could enter the drive through.
"ugh fine until tori had a hissy fit when I asked her why beck hadn't proposed yet. She got all mad and left. Honestly I think their relationship is going no where." jade yawned and he could hear cat still giggling on the ride.
"jade that's none of your business. Stick your nose out of their relationship." andre used his stern voice, showing her he's not playing around. Jade sighed but surrendered after a few more comments about the subject. They talked a little while longer while andre snacked on his fries until they arrived at his house.
"ok see you later man… no not you jade" beck gave andre daps and pulled out the driveway.
After a few minutes her arrived at his house. Tori's truck was deep in the driveway so he parked behind it. Beck stuffed the KAYs bag in a scrap walmart bag he had in the backseat. He entered the house with the widest grin. He looked around the house before running into the guest room.
After searching for a good spot he decided on the closet. He examined the mini room for a good place when his eye settled on a stack of folded towels in the corner of a shelf. He quickly shoved the bag in-between 2 towels and started to make his way out when he heard a curious voice echo into the room.
"beck is that you?" tori walked into the bedroom. Beck jumped out the closet instantly and tried to keep a calm look.
"yeah hey baby" beck may be a good actor but he's a horrible liar so his high pitched voice wasn't very believable.
"ok" tori ignored his odd behavior. Her curious voice soon transformed into a snappy attitude as she whipped around, her hair flowing the same direction and walked back to the living room. Beck stood confused for a moment before following her.
"um tori? Is something wrong?" he walked behind the couch where she sat watching sports. People think girls don't like sports or watch or play them but tori can't get enough of them and even though she's not from New York, the Yankees are her all time favorite baseball team. They were playing now.
Tori wasn't paying to much attention though. All she could think about was what jade said. The argument kept replaying in her mind. Then she would start to think about the possibility of not marrying beck and having kids like she hoped. She didn't mean to but she was becoming upset with him.
"Nope" she said straight and popping her 'P'. "what would make you think that" beck could hear her attitude still in her voice even though she was doing her best to conceal it.
"nothing forget it" he didn't want to argue so instead he brushed it away and sat next to her on the leather couch.
"so babe, you want to go on a date tonight." tori's angry face flickered between excitement and anger. She was excited for a date with beck but she's still angry,
"why?" she still avoided his eyes that were focused on her and kept them glued to the TV screen.
"because I want to take you to dinner. We don't really go out much anymore" tori tore her gaze from the TV to meet beck's confident eyes.
"how about we go Christmas shopping!" tori suddenly became giddy and beck could see that this would make her happy. He ran his hand through his hair before answering.
"fine, we can go to dinner some other time." beck smiled and bought her face to his for a short soft peck.
Yeah so this is chapter 14, not very exciting but now that she's no longer being abused, and I don't have any plans of making beck abusive, the story is just going to be full of boriness. But I still hope you liked it. Please please review! I want to know what you guys think! Oh and I would like to say thank you for all the reviews on the last chapter! They were so nice. I love you guys! Review please!
