I Can't Help Myself

...

Cat fiddled with her fingers as she and Andre sat at his laptop, and he was syncing the song he had recorded with her onto a CD so she could give it to someone special. Andre was the only one who knew about her crush on Beck, only they didn't call it a crush. They called it absolute and complete Love because Andre knew Beck felt the exact same way. How? One, it was totally obvious with how Cat and Beck were constantly hanging out lately and best friends. Two, Beck told him. Andre hadn't told Cat, but Cat knew it herself anyways. She was going to make the first move.

"I'm tired of waiting for him, Andre." Cat sighed out, and Andre faced her, smiling. "I'm going to do this."

"Good for you, Cat." Andre said, patting her knee. "You and Beck deserve each other. He feels the same way, trust me."

"I trust you, don't worry." She giggled. The CD holder popped out from Andre's laptop and she sucked in a breath. "This is it."

Andre nodded, putting the CD in a cheap, plastic case. "This is it." He handed it to her shaky hands. "He'll love it, Cat."

Cat let out the breath and bit her lip. "Let's hope so." She forced a smile and hugged Andre. "Thanks again!"

Andre laughed and hugged her back. "Anytime, Lil' Red. You know that."

Soon, Cat left Andre's house and took out her phone to text the one person that would either mean life or death to her, pretty much, since she knew she wouldn't be able to live without Beck.

Cat – Hey, r u busy?

Beck – Nah, not rly. Wat's up? U ok?

Cat – Ya, I'm peaches n' cream!

Beck – haha, good. So wat's up?

Cat – Um…wen could b a good time for me to come over? I hav somethin important 2 giv 2 u…

Beck – wat is it?

Cat – BECK!

Beck – haha, ok ok, come over whenever u want, cat, u kno that.

Cat – kk, Ill b ther in a few mins

Beck – Ok, im n the rv. Come on in.

Cat – kk!

Cat started up her kiwi green convertible bug car and lowered the top, putting on some music to calm her nauseating nerves that were rattling her stomach. She had to hold her stomach the whole way towards Beck's house because she felt sick. Maybe she shouldn't do this? She wasn't exactly chickening out, but she wasn't feeling good at all! It was nerves, she knew that, but it didn't help the fact she couldn't breathe.

Oh well…she's arrived so it's too late to turn back now.

"Eek…" Cat squeaked as she stepped out of her car, the CD safely tucked in her purse. She stood in front of Beck's RV door for a moment, contemplating what she was doing exactly. If she did this, and Beck freaked out and didn't feel the same way, then their friendship would be forever ruined and she would never be able to face him ever again. "I can't do it." She whispered to herself as she turned around, but to her bad luck, the door opened before she could get too far. She stopped in her tracks.

Darn.

"Cat, where are you going?" Beck's confused voice rang in her ears.

Cat silently groaned with dread as she faked a smile and turned around. "Nowhere…I was just…um…getting something out of my car…because I forgot it." She bit her lip. "But it's not…important."

Beck raised an eyebrow as he stepped out. "Are you sure? I can go get it for you."

Cat smiled a true smile, falling in even more love with him. She couldn't help herself when it came to falling more in love with Beck Oliver. "No, no…I think I'm good without it."

Beck smile and motioned to the RV, taking her arm gently and leading her inside. She let him, her voice stuck in her throat once he shut the door behind them. She felt nervous again and was fiddling with her fingers, like she did when she was anxious about something.

Beck sat down on the couch, and Cat sat next to him. "So what is it you wanted to give to me?" He asked after they sat in silence for a few minutes.

Cat fought back the tears of fear as she reached in her purse and pulled out the homemade CD. She handed it to Beck, who gave her a look of suspicion. "I…I had Andre record me on it." She stuttered at first, and gulped. "I wrote and sang it."

Beck gave her a small smile. "And you're giving it to me?"

"Well…you see…" Cat cleared her throat as a tear fell. "Um, I kind of…wrote this song…for…you." She whispered the last word. "Um, and I could leave, if you want, so you can listen alone."

Beck shook his head almost immediately, not noticing the tear that escaped Cat's eye. "Nah, of course not!" He exclaimed as he stood up and walked to his stereo and opened the CD holder. "If you did this for me, I want to share the experience for you."

"Beck, wait!" Cat cried out before he pressed PLAY. He froze and looked to her. "Um…before you play it…uh…I…" She shook her head and held her stomach, grabbing her purse. "I can't be here, I'm sorry."

Beck looked concerned as she walked to the door. "Cat-"

Cat held up a hand to stop him from coming any closer to her, and tears fell from her eyes like waterfalls. "Beck…listen to the CD, please." She begged him, and the way she was looking at him broke his heart. "If…if you…well, if you agree with the song, come over. But if you don't…please, don't text or call me ever again."

Beck's eyes widened dangerously. "CAT!" He shouted as she ran out of the RV. What the hell did she mean? Never call or text her again? What? He looked to the stereo that held the CD that apparently meant the possible end of his friendship with Cat, or maybe…maybe something more. "What the bloody hell is in that song?" He whispered angrily to himself as he walked up to it and pressed play.

Music started, which he assumed was Andre's piano playing, and then he heard his angelic best friend's gorgeous voice. He smiled.

"You smile a lot
It makes me wonder what you're thinking of cause...
baby your always on my mind
and right now I want you with me
here by my side
with me till the end of time."

Beck sat in the RV with Cat by his side on the bed, and they both were leaning against the wall, watching DVDs all day on his TV. It was going to be a lazy, feel-sorry-for-myself kind of day for the two friends. Jade had just broken his heart the day before, so he wasn't exactly in the mood to go out and take a road trip or something like that. Cat was there with him to comfort him, but he told her the best comfort she could do for him was to sit there with him. And she did. All day, and whenever he needed her to.

"I just can't help myself I'm falling in love with you.
(love, love)
It doesnt matter what you say and do
(no matter what you say, no matter what you do)
just give me a chance
and I know I'll make you understand why...
I just can't help myself I'm falling in love with you."

Beck groaned as his RV door opened and someone suddenly sat on his back as he was laid on his stomach. "Cat, off!" He yelled, his face in his pillow.

Cat shook her head, even though he couldn't see it. "Up, up, up!"

"No!" Beck complained. "I don't want to do anything today! I just want to lay here!"

Instead of verbally answering him, Cat stood from her seat on his back, grabbed the pillow from under his head, and slammed it on his face. "UP, I say!" She yelled out.

Beck glared, but then grinned evilly as he grabbed another pillow and hit her side, making her fall back on him. She screamed out in surprise, but he laughed his head off. She saw him laughing, so she laughed along with him. Okay, Cat made his day already.

"Don't know if I should tell the world just how I'm feeling yeah cause...
I wanna be sure you feel the same
the more that I think about it
you need to know
there's no other way
no, no…"

Beck sighed deeply as his dull eyes was faded into the wall his vision was bore into, although a tug on his hair kept pulling him back to reality every now and a good second. He ignored the tug after a moment, but then it happened again. "Cat. I'm too depressed to have my hair braided."

Cat pouted. "But you'll look so cute after I'm done." She was sitting cross-legged on his bed, as he sat against the bed, and for some reason, he had agreed to let her play with his hair in the first place. Why? Hell if he knew. "Just stay still."

"I'm not moving, trust me." He said with no emotion what-so-ever.

Cat sighed and bent down so her face was right next to his, and it hurt her back to do so, but it was worth it for Beck. "You're making me sad, Beck. And no one likes a sad Cat, right?"

Beck couldn't help, but smile. "Yeah, you're right."

Cat leaned her head against his, with her chin on his shoulder and she wrapped her arms around his neck lightly. "You're the best guy in the whole world, Beck."

Beck leaned back against her for comfort. "Thanks, Cat."

"I just can't help myself I'm falling in love with you.
(love, love)
(with you)
It doesn't matter what you say or do
(no matter what you say, no matter what you do)
just give me a chance
and I know I'll make you understand why...
I just can't help myself I'm falling in love with you."

As they were having a lazy Sunday, doing nothing but watching movies all day, Cat was leaning against Beck's chest as she was cuddled up against him. Beck had an arm wrapped around her tiny body, his eyes concentrated on the movie, yet his mind was elsewhere. Cat could tell and sighed, but it went unnoticed by Beck. She reached for the remote and turned it down when she heard something outside. She sat up from Beck's hold and looked out the window.

Beck blinked out of his trance and looked to her brightening facial expression. "What is it?" He asked in wonder.

Cat squealed. "Yay! It's raining!" And suddenly she jumped off of his bed and opened the RV door, running outside.

Beck looked at the open door in awe. "And that's worth getting sick over?" He asked himself in disbelief as he ran after her to bring her back in so she wouldn't catch a cold. He stood outside, getting drenched by the rainstorm, and laughed at the sight of Cat dancing in the rain, barefoot. "Cat, get back inside!"

Cat shook her head, opening her mouth and sticking her tongue out to feel the raindrops falling from the sky. She giggled and looked to him. "Dance with me!"

Beck's jaw dropped. "What?"

Cat rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand, forcing him out more and she wrapped her hands around his torso, and Beck automatically wrapped his arms around her. "Dance with me." She said in a soft tone, and the thunder roared above them afterwards.

Beck at first thought this was a bad idea, but then after a few seconds of Cat singing "La, la, la, la" continuously, he figured to make the best of the time with her. He swung her around, making her scream in delight. He kissed her cheek and whispered into her ear. "Thank you."

"You must have been sent...
you must have been sent from heaven above
you're everything I have been dreaming of
too good to be true
no, no

I don't think so
baby, no…"

Beck listened as the chorus came back twice more, and then the song drowned away and soon the player stopped. His head was spinning. Cat loves him. And then he suddenly smiled. "Cat loves me!" He shouted with excitement, pumping both of his fists in the air as he stood from the couch he had been sitting on during the song. He grabbed his car keys and wallet, running out the door of his RV, not bothering to shut the door behind him.

He drove as fast as he possibly could to the Valentine mansion and he jumped out of his car once he reached her house. He rang her doorbell and banged on the front door for a few minutes straight, his heart pounding and his mind racing with a million thoughts, but all were of happiness and satisfaction. He was about to get the girl of his dreams, and it was about damn time.

Cat timidly opened the door finally and gasped when she saw Beck standing there, out of breath. She opened it all the way and stepped out, closer to him. "Well?" She asked in a whisper.

All Beck could respond with was his lips crashing onto hers and wrapped his arms around her body, lifting her up into the air and closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back with passion that she had never felt before with any boy. She also wrapped her legs around his waist, so he couldn't put her down even if he wanted to, but he didn't anyways.

They released each other, but he still held her to his level. Beck pressed his forehead against hers with a smile. "I love you too, Cat Valentine."
