Best Friend
(Requested by Sshaw101)
...
"Hey, girl."
Cat looked up from her history book and smiled when she saw her boyfriend of many, many years walk into her room with a guitar in his hands. "Hey, honey." She greeted as he pecked her cheek playfully and he sat down next to her. "Happy 7 year anniversary."
"Happy 7 year anniversary." Beck said back, rubbing her back. "I can't believe it's been 7 years…it's felt like an eternity, which has been the best ever."
"Aw, you're such a sap." Cat giggled as he poked her nose. "Here…" She grabbed her messenger bag and brought out a small present. "Open it." She said as he went ahead and unwrapped it. When he had it open, he gasped while she smiled. "You deserve it for being the best friend, boyfriend, and my everything to me." She told him before he could protest.
Beck admired his new Guess watch with awe. "I can't believe you did this for me…well, I can believe it, but I just feel I don't deserve it. Thank you so much." He leaned over and pecked her lips. "Would you like your present, Miss Valentine?"
"Yes, please!" Cat squealed with excitement. She faced him on the bed as he put his guitar comfortable in his lap with his pick between his fingers, ready to play. She loved his music and his singing. Of course, Beck never sang for anyone, but her. He said that his voice was only for her ears…she thought he was just too chicken to sing in front of people though. She felt honored to have been the only one to have heard his singing voice so far and she loved it.
"Okay, I wrote this song for you…and I. This song is about us." Beck said, taking a deep breath. "I hope you like it."
Cat said nothing, but smiled sweetly.
That was encouragement enough for him.
He strummed on his guitar a bit before singing. "Do you remember when I said I'd always be there.
Ever since we were ten, baby.
When we were out on the playground playing pretend.
Didn't know it back then."
...
"Beck! Beck!"
10 year old Beck Oliver turned around as he was playing basketball in his driveway. He saw his brown haired best friend running up quickly to him with a smile planted on her face. He couldn't help, but smile back. "Hey, Cat! How was your shopping with your mom?"
Cat was out of breath when she reached him, but soon caught it and answered him. "It was wonderful! She bought me dresses and new shoes!"
"I bet you'll look great." Beck told her shyly.
"Mommy said that one day you and I will get married." Cat suddenly blurted out as Beck went to throw the ball into the hoop, but missed at her statement. "I told her we can't get married."
Beck was still confused, but shook it off. "Why not?"
Cat frowned. "Beck! We can't get married! We're not even boyfriend/girlfriend yet! You have to be boyfriend/girlfriend for a long, long time before you can get married! Also, my daddy said I can't get married until I'm 18."
Beck thought about it and shrugged. "Then be my girlfriend."
Cat's eyes widened. "Now?"
"Sure." Beck smiled. "I like you. You like me. We're best friends. Might as well be boyfriend/girlfriend too. I don't want to date any other girl. They're weird, but you're awesome. And…" Suddenly Beck blushed.
Cat smiled, loving it when he blushed. "And what?"
Beck shrugged, looking away. "I don't want you dating another boy."
"Aw, Beck!" Cat wrapped her arms around his neck, making him blush even more. "I would never be girlfriend to another boy other than you! I promise!"
"Cross your heart?" Beck asked for assurance. "You're my girlfriend now. So Robbie or Andre can't kiss you or anything, okay?"
"Kay-Kay!" Cat pecked his cheek and Beck thought he'd pass out from blushing too much.
...
"Now I realize you were the only one
It's never too late to show it." Beck continued singing as they both came out of their flashbacks of when they first became a real couple. "Grow old together,
Have feelings we had before
Back when we were so innocent…"
Cat listened to the song, but she also was in deep thought. When she was 10 years old and officially became the girlfriend of Beck Oliver, she never thought they'd last so long. No one ever took them seriously…
...
Cat was fidgeting around as a boy named Danny had his hands all over her in the closet of her best friend Tori Vega's house. He dragged her in there and forced her against a wall. "Please, let me go!" She punched his chest. "I have a boyfriend!"
"You and that brat Beck Oliver have been together too long, Kitten." Danny said as he kissed her neck. "It's time to move on to someone else and let me show you a good time."
"No!" Cat screamed. "Beck is my boyfriend and we've been together for 3 years! I love him! You can't break up love! Get off me!"
The door slammed open and walked in the pissed off boyfriend she had been talking about. Danny was thrown off her and punched dead on in the face, going unconscious almost immediately. Beck turned to Cat with worry in his eyes and she jumped into his arms. "Cat! Are you alright? I heard you screaming! Did he hurt you?"
Cat shook her head as she buried her face in his shirt. "I love you, Beck." She mumbled.
Beck kissed her head and sighed in relief that his favorite girl wasn't harmed. "I love you too, babygirl."
Cat blinked as she looked up at him. "We've lasted this song…we'll last forever, right?"
Beck nodded. "Forever."
...
"I pray for all your love
Girl our love is so unreal
I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you, somebody pinch me…" Beck sang to his girlfriend as he admired her expressions of love she gave him. He loved her so much, he was relieved she was loving the song. Of course this wasn't her only present, but it's her first one of the day. "This is something like a movie
And I don't know how it ends girl
But I fell in love with my Best Friend…"
And no one believed they would make it so far…
...
"What do you mean you want to go to this Hollywood Arts?" Mr. Oliver yelled at his only son sitting across from him at the dinner table.
Cat gasped next to Beck, who was holding her hand and glaring at his father. His mother sighed, wishing her husband wasn't so easily angered. "Dad, I love directing, acting, and dancing! At Hollywood Arts, they have all of that! I tried out this morning and I made it in! Both Cat and I did!"
"THAT'S WHY?" Mr. Oliver growled. "You want to go because of that little girl you're dating? Beckett, PLEASE! Realize that you and Cat are not going to make it as long as you believe you are! You're just teenagers! You'll fall out of this so-called love you think you have! Stick with education and your business skills! You'll be a great real-estate agent like me one day or a famous lawyer like your mother! Not some show boy in Las Vegas!"
Beck gripped Cat's hand tighter for comfort. "You may think we're too young to understand love, but Cat and I are in love. We have been since we were 10 years old. I wouldn't expect you to understand, since you've cheated on mom twice already! But Cat and I will make it! And yes, she is one of the reasons why I want to attend this school, but more of a reason is because I need it! I want to direct! I want to be an actor! I want to dance! You can't stop me!" He caught his breath at his shocked father. "You can't change you I am, father."
"Your son is the greatest boy ever, Mr. Oliver." Cat added on shyly. "He's a graceful dancer, a strong director, and a very wonderful actor. He'll go far in Hollywood. He needs Hollywood Arts though. He's going to be famous…with or without me, he'll be great."
Beck's heart ached at that, but he let it go. Cat was trying to make a point to his father, who seemed to calm down and listen to his and Cat's words.
He was enrolled in Hollywood Arts…
...
"I know it sounds crazy
That you'd be my baby.
Girl you mean that much to me." Beck sang his heart out to his girlfriend of so long. He smiled to her as she almost had tears. He knew she was also remembering the hard and the great times they had together. "And nothing compares when
We're lighter than air and
We don't wanna come back down."
Cat swayed to the song, smiling as if she was on top of the world and she felt she was. How could a girl get so lucky?
"But it's the risk that I'm taking, hoping, praying
You'd fall in love with your best friend…" Beck's music was slowing down, so Cat figured he was almost done. "I remember when I said I'd always be there
Ever since we were ten baby."
Cat held her tears back as Beck finished strumming on his guitar and then he slowly put it to the side so Cat was able to jump into his arms. "I loved it! It's the most beautiful song I've ever heard!"
Beck sighed with happiness as he held her in his arms. "It's all the truth, Cat…hey, I have a question for you."
"What is it?" She asked curiously as she leaned back in his hold, but still kept her arms around his neck. She looked him in the eyes, not paying attention to the red velvet box that came from his pocket and he suddenly opened it before her, making her gasp. "Oh my god!" It was a small, but pure diamond ring.
"Will you marry me?" Beck asked softly.
Cat nodded, letting her tears release. "Oh, of course!" And that ended with a kiss.
