Anything For You

I Do NOT Own Victorious

Chapter Twenty-One

Understanding

We erase it from our memories.
But the imprint is always there.

-Evanescence

Tori, Jade, Robbie, and Andre were seated in their assigned seating on the plane, smiling ear to ear. Jade was being so much nicer to Tori, because she felt in debt just because Tori told her Cat was safe and alive. The others now had a great understanding of how much Cat meant to Jade as a best friend and sister, considering how protective and patient she was with the redhead girl.

"I can't stop smiling to the point my cheeks hurt." Robbie said in a happy tone, buckling his seatbelt, next to Andre in an isle seat. Tori laughed at that, as Jade stared out the window next to her. "I can't wait to see them!"

Andre nodded, smiling as well, and clapped his hands harshly together once, rubbing them together. "I swear, I'm going to punch Beck in the gut for taking off without me, and I'm going to hug and lift Cat in the air, showing her how relieved I am for seeing her!"

Robbie frowned a little. "I might be a bit angry at Beck…so I apologize in advanced if I'm giving him dirty looks."

Tori was antsy in her seat. "I'm going to start crying hysterically and sob, hugging Cat nonstop!"

"Oh great, more crying from you." Jade groaned. "I'm going to strangle Beck, and beat him into a bloody pulp."

(A/N: That was a repeat of something Beck said to Cat in chapter 19…hehe.)

Robbie raised an eyebrow at the chair row in front of him, which happened to be the girls. "That's a little rash, don't you think?"

"It must be done." Jade said, cracking her knuckles.

"Cat's probably jumping for joy to being able to see us." Andre chuckled, picturing the image in his mind.

Tori rubbed her lips together. "Not exactly…"

Jade looked over to her and glared daggers, as Andre and Robbie glared at the back of Tori's seat. "Why not?" The three growled out.

"Chill, chill!" Tori laughed. "My dad can't exactly call those two whenever he wants, so Beck and Cat don't know that WE are coming instead of my dad."

Jade looked nervous. "I hope Cat doesn't faint…"

Actually dressed in a cute way that day, Cat twirled in her pale green babydoll shirt, a dark blue sweater-cardigan, and dark blue skinny jeans, with a sunhat on and sunglasses. "Dance with me, Beck!" She giggled as Beck shook his head, leaning on the wall with his tight jeans, jean jacket, and sunglasses. "Party-poop!"

"I'd rather not think of myself as poop at a party, Cat." Beck joked, making her laugh harder. "I can't believe how much you can amuse yourself by dancing in a puddle in an alley way."

"She tends to do that a lot, Beck." A voice was heard as an echo in the alley way.

Cat gasped as she saw who the voice belonged to and she squealed, running into the arms of her best friend and sister. "JADE!" She squeezed Jade so hard. "I missed you!"

Jade bit her lip. "Um…dear…Jade can't breathe…" She wheezed.

Cat moved away and looked guilty. "I'm sorry! So, so sorry!" Jade chuckled as she moved out of the way, motioning to the other three adults in the alley way behind her. Cat squealed again, running to them. "YAY!"

Andre smiled. "What's up, Lil' Red?" As she hugged him, he took a handful of her dyed brunette hair and stared at it. "…or not Lil' Red…"

Beck walked up slowly to Jade, who was glaring at him. "Jade…you guys are here…how? Why?"

Jade gave him a fake smile. "Before I answer your questions, I need to give you a present first." She growled and suddenly used all her strength to punch Beck right in the gut, and as he doubled over, she punched him right in the nose, making him fall back. "I'm content now."

Cat attempted to look back at the scene, but Andre covered her eyes. "That is NOT a scene you want to see right now, Cat." He said, giving her a hug away from the view of Beck's bloody nose and put her in the arms of the hysterical Tori, who was crying uncontrollably at the happiness. "Just feel the love."

"Oh my God." Beck breathed out as he and Cat went through the photos of him and Cat in different places. "They've been following us." It scared the couple even more when they saw that the photo had a look as if it was taken through a gun telescope. "And they're pointing a gun at us at the same time!"

Cat sobbed, covering her mouth with her hands. "We're not safe anywhere!" She cried as Beck put down the photos and put his arms around her, shaking himself. "What do we do?"

Andre shook his head in disbelief, sitting in a wooden chair by the desk in the motel room. "I never knew how you guys have been living for the past few months."

"Even though we've been sitting at home, feeling useless, and worried sick about you two." Tori said, getting tearful at the sight of an upset Cat. "Cat, why didn't you come to us for help when Todd first starting hurting you?"

Cat shrugged, taking the tissue that Robbie handed to her. "I was so confused and I didn't know what to do. He controlled me, you know? He forced me to quit my acting career all together…just to have all the control over me." She sobbed again. "He forbid me from seeing you guys at all, and he would beat me every day. Finally, when I felt like the next time he snapped, he would kill me, I ran to Beck's house."

"And that night, he broke into my house while we were sleeping, and he tried to drag Cat out of the house, but I stopped him." Beck rubbed Cat's arms to comfort her. "That's when he threatened to bring the cops over, saying Cat was unstable and I convinced her that Todd beat her, when it was me, but that's not the truth."

"They would never believe me." Cat whispered.

"Same here." Beck sighed. "We did the one thing we knew we had to."

"And you didn't tell us, WHY?" Jade snapped, glaring at Beck.

Beck frowned. "Hey, Jade? After we left, and the cops were looking for us, did you get pulled in for questioning?" Jade suddenly went silent, looking away from him. "Tori? Andre? Robbie? How about you guys? Get questioned about where we were?"

Only Robbie nodded. "Yeah…they were convinced we knew, but I didn't know anything. They kept digging and digging, but I finally convinced them that I wasn't involved."

"My dad came in with me when they questioned me." Tori spoke up, playing with her hair. "They were rude, ruthless, and just plain irritating! I serious started crying of how much they were freaking me out! And they didn't even think that my dad, who was sitting next to me to defend me, was involved."

Andre sighed. "I was watching the news when they suddenly announced Cat's "kidnapping" and that you were the suspect. I was trying to call your guys' phones, but you never answered. A few minutes later, cops were at my door and took me to the police station. They questioned me about the calls I made to your phones, like I knew something. But they finally believed me when I said I was just worried."

Everyone looked to Jade, who shook her head. "I don't want to talk about it." They nodded in understanding, since it wasn't exactly a comfortable subject.

"Anyways, that's why we didn't tell you guys." Beck continued. "Just in case they did break you, we couldn't give away anything. I…I couldn't risk Cat's safety."

Andre nodded. "I understand now."

Tori agreed. "I do too." Robbie nodded in agreement.

Jade shrugged. "As long as Cat's alive and healthy, that's what I care about." She stood up from her seat and pointed to Beck. "Let's take a walk." And she went towards the front door.

Cat had wide eyes. "She's not going to kill you, is she?" She asked in panic.

Beck kissed her cheek. "Not sure, but just remember, I love you, okay?" Leaving Cat in shock, Beck left the room, with Andre, Robbie, and Tori with her. Beck walked to Jade, who was leaning over the railing of their 2nd story motel room. "Um…"

"What am I supposed to do now, Beck?" Jade suddenly asked. "Do you really expect me to go back home, pretend everything is fine and dandy, while you two are out in the world, unprotected? On the run from a psychopath, who wants nothing more than you dead and Cat as his punching bag?" Jade shrugged. "What am I supposed to do?"

"I would say come with us, but you can't." Beck shrugged. "It would look too suspicious, and they were just question the other three in there. Robbie, Tori, and Andre don't lie very well when under pressure."

Jade gripped the metal railing. "I know." She looked to Beck. "Cat's my best friend."

Beck nodded. "I know she is."

Jade stepped up to him. "If you don't take care of her, I am going to kill you, you hear me?" She threatened him. "If anything happens to her, I swear-"

"Jade, I'll kill myself before I let anything happen to Cat." Beck interrupted. "I'd rather die than let Todd or any other man in the world get their hands on her again."

Jade nodded. "Good. Now that's out of the way, what are you going to do about you guys being followed?"

Beck rubbed his lips together. "I have a plan, but I have a feeling you're not going to like it."

Jade narrowed her eyes. "Talk."

PREVIEW FOR CHAPTER 22: Oceans

Cat took Beck's hand as they leaned against one of the walls of the metal trailer. "I'm scared, Beck." She whispered.

Beck sighed and pulled her closer to him. "I'm here and I'm not leaving you, so there's no reason to be afraid."

"I wish we could've gone home with them." She mumbled as the truck started up.

"Me too, Cat." Beck said as they started moving down a road. "Me too."
