Beck's POV

"Hahaha, very funny Ash" - I say taking the phone with my shoulder and my cheek while I pick up the garbage bags from my RV to the container outside. It's been a long time since I cleaned this place.

"What? All I'm saying that your relationship might need some spicing up" - She replies in a playful way.

"I'm not going to take Tori to a Motel, you are crazy"

"Are you honestly going to tell me you used to have sex with Jade in your RV?" - Ash laughs at the idea.

"Yes, all the time and she didn't complain"

"And tell me, did you enjoy the rocking and sound of the moving vehicle while you… you know, or are you a soft lover Beck?" - She can't stop making fun of me.

"Oh, come on stop!" - I beg. This conversation is embarrassing.

"Look, seriously, why don't you just talk to her and ask her how she feels" - Ash suggests, "You shouldn't let time pass you by and grow more insecure each day"

"Yeah you are right" - I guess I have to talk to Tori and see if everything is OK with us, "I'll do it another day though, we got invited to Gaby's house tonight, you know, George is home from Palo Alto for the week" - I tell her trying to pick something nice to wear, "You should drop by, at least for Ty's birthday party just like 3 years ago"

"Oh that party, so many wonderful moments" - She says sarcastically.

"What? It was fun, our very first drunk party, I have fond memories of that day… and blank lapses"

"Yeah, a lot of firsts happened at that party" - Ash continues with her angry tone.

"Firsts? What are you talking about Ash? Don't be so cryptic… share" - I close the door of my closet and lay on my bed.

"Oh, you don't know? Gaby lost her virginity at that party… with George!" - Ash finally tells me what she was so bothered about.

"Hahaha, no fucking way!"

"Oh, yes! She told me months later when we were dating and I was like… but Gaby you are freaking GAY, and she was like 'Oh, but you know… it's Georgie, he is cute and funny' and blah, blah, blah I was ready to go look for him and kick his ass" - She is still a little angry but laughs, "Damn George, but well, I thought you knew, Gaby is like 'who cares anymore' and you know how she's around him"

"Yes, I know, if she could be straight for someone it would be George" - I repeat Gaby's own words, she has said that many times. I look at the clock and realize I'm late, "I didn't know… Anyway, Ash you are coming for the play on Thursday, right?"

"Yes sir! I couldn't miss it, Gaby already has my ticket" - She assures me, I really want her to come and see our work.

"Well, I have to go get ready, I have to pick Tori up and it's already 6pm"

"OK Shaggy, say hi to the douchebag for me, and have a good night" - She says quickly.

"I'll send him your love" - I giggle, "Have a good night as well and see you on Thursday"

I better run dinner is at 7pm. I hope Tori's feeling better, she has been sick for a couple of days and she has been behaving really strange for at least the past couple of weeks.

I hope it's nothing huge and we settle things. I really want to start having a normal relationship again after this week.

Gaby's POV

Yesterday was nice, cuddling with my girlfriend in what felt like forever and getting that I'm happy feeling all over me.

Today… I just want to crawl into the deepest hole in the world and bury myself in it, disappear, that's all I want.

Yesterday, I would have denied the possibility and defended Jade, she would never fall so low to cheat on me, to be that person that plays around and has the nerve to lie to the person they are with in the face.

Today, I wonder, who it is? Why did she do it? What am I to her, if she is doing this with someone else? When did it start? Why? Did she ever loved me?

I have this deep pain inside and I feel it consuming me, yet I have to put on a happy face and pretend I don't know.

The music is blasting my ears but I don't care, at least is harder to think this way.

I awoke early today and went straight to take a shower, I didn't want to wake her up, she always begs for ten more minutes, so, I tried making the least noise possible.

I was enjoying the water falling through my body, letting it hit my neck and back when all of the sudden I feel her embracing me from behind, her breasts touching my back, her lips on my neck.

"Good morning Babe" - She said softly, she surprised me and I was glad, it's always nice to have her like this, is intimate and is sexy.

"Hey" - Is all I could say, I was enjoying the moment, our bodies intertwined, the hot water making the air foggy and the peace…

We started washing each other, passing the soap over our backs spinning it through our chests and going down to our navels. Then we left the soap aside and started rinsing it from our skin with our bare hands, giving each other soft massages. Our naked bodies separated by a tiny wall of water and soap that only made our skin silkier to the touch.

I have been insecure about our relationship, but I never imagined before the possibility of this happening to us. I thought she was keeping something from me, but never this. Maybe she was feeling too much pressure, I thought, maybe she wanted some time apart to figure out her feelings about her mother. I even imagined that she was mad at me for being there for Matt and that it was the reason she was pulling away. But no, she was cheating on me all along, sleeping with someone… lying to me.

I want to cry my eyes out, but I can't. At least I cried some at the shower this morning.

As I was rinsing the soap from her skin I started noticing a couple of bruises. It didn't cross my mind; this is how convinced I was… until then. She had a couple around her ribcage another one on the inside of her left boob, I thought for a second about asking her how she got them, it even crossed my mind that maybe the seatbelt from the car made them on a hard break, but then, as she turned her back to me, I saw on the inside of her thighs a couple of large ones and her lower back filled with little pressure dots almost imperceptible, just like the ones I leave when we have sex… and then I knew. She had sex… just not with me. We haven't been together in days, but these bruises were recent, they were yesterday's.

This pain I have, is a fraction of what hit me at that instant, a jolt of coldness expanded inside me as if I was hit by lightning. I closed my eyes denying the thoughts that suddenly clouded my mind I opened them again and stared at her neck, I know that tears have started to leave me, I kept quiet and held my breath, I didn't know what to do, how to react, should I confront her o ignore it. All the questions entering my brain at the same time and I froze.

There she was once more, looking deeply into my eyes and smiling, she couldn't see my tears, they were mixing with the water that fell between us, and I tried as much as I could to hide my pain. She got really close to me and then kissed me only pressing her lips with mine, I felt betrayed, I felt dirty. She broke the kiss and hugged me, I could feel her warmth, one that before I would have mistaken with love, honesty and care… not anymore.

"I love you" - She whispered in my ear as she pressed our bodies closer.

'No you don't' is all I could think, she was lying to me and doing it so perfectly, so calmed… Lies, they were all lies. I know she wanted me to say it back but I couldn't. How do you tell someone that deliberately hurts you that you love them. I mean, I do love her, but I can't ever allow myself to say it again. She doesn't deserve it.

She stepped away after a few seconds and we got out and got ready for the day.

Jade had therapy and I had plans with Cat and Andre to go to the mall and to watch a movie before lunch. I put on my best face, I'm a terrible actress but I think that the person I wanted to convince the most was myself.

I was a zombie all morning but Cat and Andre are in that honeymoon stage and they don't pay attention to anyone else. I was actually relieved; I didn't want to confess to anyone, not yet, I wanted to be sure or at least be ready to say it out load.

At the Movie Theatre Cat picked a romantic comedy, I couldn't care less, the whole function I blurred the images in front of me, thinking about the moments Jade's been distant, when did this start? Who has she been close to? Does Cat know or is she hiding it from everyone? I remember all our I Love You s I remember the first time she said it to me, was she lying to me then? Was I a game to her? Every time I think of something else this pain pulsates on my chest, like a bomb going off.

I'm lost.

I go back to last night. Jade was with Tori pretty much all day, could it be her? She has been spending a lot of time with Tori because of the play and the other day she stayed over at her house to take care of her. But what hits me are the things Jade said when she got home last night.

'Something happened with Tori today' - She said, she was afraid, I assumed it was because she has been confiding in her about her feelings with all this crap about her mother instead of coming to me.

'I don't want to lose you' - I remember clearly, she was trying to tell me, but she chose not to, and I trusted her so much I never imagined she meant something else happened. Perfect! My best friend's girlfriend and my girlfriend.

Wait, does Ash know?… No, no she can't, she would have told Beck and me. I feel my mind starting to betray me.

The movie was finally over and Cat and Andre commented on it, of course I didn't even pay attention to who was in it, so I lie and tell them I fell asleep because I didn't slept at all last night.

"You should've told me, you could've stayed home and slept a little" - Cat said with a concerned frown.

"It's fine, we made plans, I'm sorry I let you down" - I answered fast, if I had stayed home I would've been crazy by now.

"I'm sorry you missed it, it was funny and romantic" - Andre smiled at Cat and gave her a sweet kiss. They looked perfect together, which only made me sadder… we use to be perfect, we use to be the envy of everyone… or maybe just the mockery me, I do not know anymore.

As soon as we got back home I came straight to my bed and grabbed my headphones. I put some electronic music on, I didn't want sad lyrics to further confuse me, I craved to fall asleep, I didn't want any more unwanted thoughts invading me.

I don't know how many hours have passed or if it has actually been hours at all, but I felt Jade kissing my shoulder trying to wake me up. I played dumb, I had no intentions of dealing with her right now, or today or tomorrow or I didn't know when, I wanted to sleep some more, not think, I wanted to forget. I felt her covering me with a blanket and I assumed she left my room. My music was loud enough I didn't hear anything.

I wake up again and it's dark. I'm starving and I have a feeling there's a reason why no one has come to ask me again to come down and eat something.

I lie here on my bed, reflecting on all that happened today and breathe heavy for a few minutes. I'm sad, hurt and have no idea what I'm going to do the next time Jade and I are alone.

I take off my headphones and hear people talking downstairs, some music and I smell something delicious. I put my shoes on and go to the kitchen, we must have guests, maybe just Tyler and Nina, but any distraction right now is good enough.

I turn on the last flight of stairs leading to the kitchen and I hear an old familiar voice and I think: 'Georgie is home!'. I hurry down and in a flash see Beck with Tori wrapped up with his arm leaning on the dinning table, Cat resting her body against Andre's on the kitchen counter and Jade siting alone on one of the chairs looking bored as ever, with her arm on the table supporting her head. I don't pay attention to them at all because I finally meet eyes with Georgie on the other side of the room, talking to Nina and Ty.

I smile at him with all my heart, oh this boy is the death of me, he sees me and runs to take me in his arms. Yes, just like a romantic movie, I hang in the air, a foot from the floor, spinning around.

"There is My Girl" - He says without letting me go, I hug him like there was no tomorrow. He is my crush, my exception; if there were one person I could be straight for, it would be him.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming home" - I say to his ear.

"I wanted to surprise you, I'm also cooking you favorite dish" - He rocks me softly; I'm still in the air hugging him.

"Hmm uhmm" - Jade clears her throat, she is standing right beside us. Georgie and I turn to her and see her sending him a death glare like no other I've ever seen her give anyone… ever.

How dare she! She slept with someone; she's been cheating on me for I don't know how long, probably with my best friend's girlfriend, who, by the way, is right HERE.

"My Girl tonight, little one… too bad for you" - Georgie says, he's never been subtle, and right now it's something I thank him for. I look back at him and smile, Jade now turns to me and raises her eyebrows as high as she could, demanding in silence to get down from the boy right this instant. Fuck her! I won't, she doesn't own me and right now I'm pissed off.

My parents walk through the door and he puts me on the floor to go to say hello to them.

"Gaby, what the hell?" - Jade raises her voice very upset.

"Don't start Jade, I hate jealousy, so back off" - I say and leave her standing to go say hello to Beck and Tori, ugh, I wish I could just ignore her or ask her what the hell is she doing at my house after fucking my girlfriend.

Dinner goes by too quickly. Georgie cooked: Caramelized Lemongrass Chicken Breasts with Almonds, I love it! He is a great cook and this is my favorite dish. I sit right next to him at one side and Beck at the other one. Jade sits right in front of me, but I pay no attention, my boy and I were catching up and I wasn't in the mood to be bitter by whatever the deal was with her.

"So, do tell me you are staying here until you go back to Palo Alto?" - I joke hitting him with my elbow a couple of times.

"I already got the keys of the pool house, he winks at me" - I swear if Jade could irradiate fire we would have been burnt since we laid eyes on each other.

"Maybe we can finish playing that Monopoly game from 6 months ago" - I propose, I really want to avoid sleeping with Jade tonight.

"Deal" - He reaches my forehead and kisses me.

I turn to Jade and see her angry but also hurt, and is now that I start to regret my behavior.

We all go to the living room, after cleaning up, to keep talking.

I watch Jade from the couch I'm sharing with George and I see her looking through the window, her sight lost in nothing and it hits me, I've been a bitch, I've been hurting her all night and she doesn't even know why. I should've felt accomplished, I shouldn't care, she is betraying me… but I can't, I'm not that cold, I can't forget that I love her, even with all of this, even if I shouldn't… I care about her.

She turns back to see me and sighs closing her eyes, I signal her to the garden, we need to talk. She comes slowly and approaches me doubting why I've asked her out here.

"You are not having a good time?" - I ask right away as we start walking without direction, just getting away to get more privacy.

She answers shaking her head, not a word leaves her lips.

"Why?"

"Watching my girlfriend flirting with the guy that took her virginity is not as fun as you would imagine" - Her hurt voice gives her away. That's right, that Thanksgiving Day she asked if Ash had been my first and I told her about Georgie.

"You know you have nothing to worry about, after all you and I are not the kind of people that cheat, right?" - I know, I'm starting to be cruel, but I want to see her flinch, I want to see regret, I want to convince myself there is something to fight for, but she is such a good actress, she doesn't even look away. She stays in character so naturally.

"Yeah, you are right, we are not"

"OK, so you won't mind that I'll spend the night with him at the pool house, to catch up" - I start walking slowly back to the house.

"I'm sure you have a lot to talk about" - She calmly says walking right beside me.

I can't believe her indifference… at least she could act jealous, she could demand I stop the flirting or that I go to bed with her tonight, but she doesn't and it's because she is feeling guilty. Doing any of these things will make her a complete hypocrite and by not doing them she gave herself away.

We step inside the house and everybody is saying goodbye. Mom and Dad say good night and we are left in an uncomfortable silence.

"Well George, it was very nice to meet you but we have school tomorrow and I need to sleep, I'm spent" - Cat says and reaches for a hug.

"It was nice to meet you too little red" - He winks at her, typical George, flirt is his first language.

Jade comes to my side and gives me a kiss on the cheek, "I'll see you tomorrow, have fun" - I was paralyzed by that, no death warning to George, no angry looks, not even her usual sarcasm.

"Good night" - We both say to her as she climbs up the stairs.

The night is warm and filled with laughter but also tears. He picked up that something was going on with me and Jade and I told him everything. He's always been a great confident and even a better adviser. He asked me to look deep inside me before making a final decision.

"Be sure this is real and that your wide imagination is not playing tricks on you. You could be sorry if you break up only to know that what's been going on with her is something else you didn't expect" - George warned me.

I know he is right, I have to be sure before confronting her, before making up my mind about her guilt, like I have done all day today.

"What if it was a mistake Gaby? People make mistakes; it doesn't mean she doesn't love you. And if it was, could you forgive her?" - He added, "The things that are happening to the two of you are not kids games, and being a grown up is not black and white"

I guess he left me with more questions than answers. I have to think, ask myself all of these and know exactly how I feel before doing anything. In the end is my heart the one on the line.

Monday goes by quickly, Jade and I barely see each other, last rehearsals and all. Who knew all of this showbiz stuff was so complicated. I start playing everything in my head again, looking for ways to take the cheating idea off the table. The fact is that I can find at least one good reason to justify everything and that makes me doubt myself more.

Tuesday we talked about trivial things, I was not ready to start a conversation about what I believed had happened, after all I wasn't sure anymore. I watched Jade's behavior with Tori, she was indifferent to her, not even sharing a conversation as friends; she was avoiding her altogether.

Tori in the other hand was noticeably confused and suffering. There was obviously something happening with her. I also see Beck hesitating; he is contemplating their actions as well.

Wednesday arrives and the whole senior class is gathered around to watch the final rehearsal. The play is good and Tori and Jade perform to the top of their abilities.

Nothing odd, the kiss didn't even feel too real, I debate with the thought that I had been seeing the wrong scenario in my head, I continue to doubt about Jade cheating. I was certainly trying to convince myself everything was all right. I even started justifying her behavior, the bruises, all of it.

Tuesday morning we got late to school, my car broke down and we had to call AAA. I went straight to class and Jade to the Theatre, I wasn't supposed to see her until lunch, but Mr. Reed asked me to get some photocopies of the exam at the library. As I was returning to class when I saw Jade pulling Tori by the arm into the Janitors Closet. I couldn't stay and find out what was going on, I had to hurry back, but that single action on their part made me doubt again. All the feelings I fought so hard to get rid off all week came back as a tornado.

I sit here now, next to Beck and the rest of the writing crew to watch the play we all worked so hard for. The School Main Theatre is full, special guests have the best sits and everyone is very excited. My parents, Ty and Nina are around, also Ash and George.

"Excited about the play?" - I ask Beck who has a sad look, "Everything OK?"

"Yeah beautiful, I'm OK, probably just tired"

"Yeah, I know why you mean" - We both try to conceal our pain I know he has the same suspicions as me.

The lights go down and finally the actors come on stage. The play goes by and people laugh and sigh at different moments, it is a complete success, yet Beck and I can't seem to engage in anything else that is not the actions of both our girlfriends.

The last scene of the play arrives, Jade and Tori's kiss. Somehow this feels way too real, not like yesterday.

"I know I haven't been clear enough about my feelings for you" - Jade's character says getting closer to Tori.

"I don't want to get hurt" - Tori's character replies getting closer to Jade.

"I could never hurt you" - Jade's character takes a string of hair of Tori's face and placing behind her ear.

Beck and I close our eyes not wanting to see what we had feared the most.

"I love you" - Tori's character says looking straight at Jade and they both kiss.

We watch them kissing on stage and it hits us both, it's true, there was something in their eyes, in their touch, we just knew. Beck get's up from his seat and walks out, I gather some strength and walk out after him.

He had rushed into the Janitor's Closet and has sat on the floor. When I enter a few moments later I found him devastated and I sit right next to him.

"Is this even real? I mean, are they together?" - I whisper to him.

"I don't know Gaby, it feels like it"

"Things have changed, at least the last couple of weeks for us" - I continue, "But I really didn't notice until this week"

"It's been a little longer for us, I think" - Beck whispers back.

"I'm sure they have slept together Beck… I should have told you before, I'm sorry" - I confess to my friend, I regret not being honest with him.

"How can you know?" - He looks at me surprised.

"I saw Jade's bruises on Sunday" - Beck only shakes his head, he knows exactly what I mean, he dated her for two years.

"How long do you think that they have been lying to us?" - He places his hands on the back of his neck taking his head closer to his knees.

"I don't know… What are we supposed to do now?" - I keep my voice very low.

"I… I just can't… I can't be with her anymore" - He says with uncertainty.

"I can't be without her" - I recognize, "I have contemplated this, all weeklong. I thought it was going to be easy, your girlfriend cheats on you and you break up and move on. But I have tried imaging life without her and I can't Beck, it hurts to much"

Beck has a very quiet and sad tone in his voice as well as me. We almost speak in whispers.

"I have to break up with her tonight, I don't want to be a fool"

"I can't do that, I need her to tell me… that this… whatever it was, mattered to her"

"How can you possibly be with her, knowing what they did"

"Because Beck, I'm not sure this happened more than once and I need to hear from her that it was a mistake, I need to believe she still loves me"

"She doesn't love you… she has feelings for someone else" - Beck shed tears silently.

"I still love her to much to just let her go, she has to tell me… that she wants her"

Our phones start ringing at the same time. It's Jade and Tori respectively.

We stare at our screens and laugh in the irony of the situation.

"To our cheating girlfriends" - Beck raises his phone as if it was a glass of wine. I look at him and carefully clash my phone with his. We both answer the calls soon after that.

"They are waiting for us backstage. The play is almost over" - I say standing up, Beck does the same.

Beck and I hug and stay that way for a minute.

"Call me after if you want to talk, I'll go to the rooftop so we can speak freely, I'm not sure I'll talk to Jade tonight" - I frown at him.

"Will do"

We hurry back to the Theatre and are called on stage to meet the crew and cast to close the curtains finally ending the play.

A/N Things are getting complicated for Jade and Tori. I wanted to do this chapter mainly from the other characters point of view and leave in suspense what is really going on between Jori after Saturday's event. I hope you liked it. See you on Tuesday or Wednesday and thanks for reading.
