A/N: Oh my gosh, you guys, I can't apologize enough for the long wait for this chapter! I honestly don't even have an excuse for this. I had a bit of writer's block in the beginning, but then I just honestly got too lazy to even work on this. So, please accept my apology. I'm gonna try my absolute best from now on to update this the best I can because this was just unacceptable. I thank you all for being so patient.

Now, that I'm done begging for forgiveness, on with the story.

Beck's POV

Friday came around, and I pulled up at 7:45 am to the school's parking lot. I came early just to try to catch a glimpse to see Tori arrive and the bastard that drove her. So, I waited right outside the building until I saw a red honda civic pull up with Danny in the driver's seat. He parked the car and I watched as he and Tori talked casually for a few minutes. As soon as Tori stepped out of the car, and headed into the building, I knew it was time for me to take my approach. I climbed out of my vehicle and headed straight over to Danny's car. I could tell by his smirk that he saw me coming.

He rolled down his window.

"So, I see you're still not satisfied with our conversation from yesterday." he said with a chuckle. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Cut the crap, you bastard! What did you do to Cat?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow before smiling deviously.

"I can't see how that's any of your business." he replied.

"I'll sure make it my business in a minute!"

"Look, punk. I did nothing to that bitch okay. Get off my back."

His words made me rage with anger. My own temper surprised myself when I quickly plunged my fist into his car through his window.

"The fuck?" he shouted before pounding on the controller for the window. It began to roll up and merely squeezed my wrist. But, it was enough for a small cut to form.

Before I even had the chance to move out of the way, Danny flipped me off as he stepped on his pedals.

I jumped out of the way of his car as he sped off towards the exit to the parking lot, swerving in all different directions as he went.

"Fucking bastard!" I shouted, even though I knew he'd already gone. My jaw was clenched, and I knew if I didn't cool off soon, some drastic trauma would result.

I kicked a cone down on my way inside of the building. I swear that prick is dead next time I see him.

By the time I'd walked inside, it was five of eight and school would be starting soon. The hallways were filling up with people. I spotted Cat in the crowd, keying in her locker combination. Tori was standing next to her speaking, with her mouth moving a mile minute. Cat didn't even seem to notice she was there. But, I'd realized she was listening since she nodded her head once Tori was done talking. I headed down the hallway towards the two of them.

"Look, I know you probably don't remember a thing. You were drunk, so apparently you weren't in the right state of mind! But, begging him to sleep with you was not right." Tori said.

What the hell is she talking about?

"I don't want to talk about this Tori. I never begged him to do anything. Please leave me alone." Cat replied with her head drooped.

"I'm just repeating what I heard. I'm trying to help you out here. If you'd just admit you were under the influence of alchohol and you didn't mean it, then maybe you wouldn't be so upset!" Tori yelled.

"Tori!" I shouted. Both she and Cat turned around, startled by my yelling.

"She said to leave her alone! Now quit it." I continued. Tori's eyes were wide, she was obviously shocked that I talked to her in such a way.

"Please." I added in a calmer tone.

She looked down.

"Sorry..." she said, brushing past me. She continued down the hall to her first class.

Cat on the other hand, was still standing there staring at me with her big brown eyes.

Finally after a few minutes of silence she opened her mouth to speak,

"F-Forget anything you heard. It's not." she closed her eyes and blinked back tears. "It's not what you think. I-I didn't..."

I cut her off before she could continue.

"I understand. And trust me, I know what she said isn't true."

"How?" she suddenly asked, with fright in her voice.

"You wouldn't do something like that."

She stared at the floor silently.

Suddenly, the bell rang signalling the beginning of school hours.

Neither of us moved.

"Listen Beck," she began, "I'm sorry for how I've been for the past few days. It's just, I'm under a lot of stress right now. I wish I could open up to you, I really do, but..." she paused. "You just wouldn't understand."

I stared straight into her eyes.

"Never know until you try." I answered.

She bit her lip, and looked around. The halls were empty.

"Okay, uh..." she sighed. "I don't know where to begin. So, I guess I'll start here..."
