A/N: Hey again! Important author's note at the end of the chapter. :)
This chapter is for Lucifer143 who gave me the idea for the end of the chapter. I hope it fits your idea!
Tuesday, the second day in school after Jade and Beck broke up went mostly the same as Monday.
Maybe it wasn't that awkward but it definitely still was awkward.
Jade and I ate lunch at another table to avoid Beck but I noticed that Jade was observing Beck secretly.
"What are you looking for, Jade?"
Her face immediately flushed and she quickly averted her eyes.
"Nothing", she told me in a harsh tone.
"Kay kay", I said with an innocent smile. Maybe it was better if I didn't force her to an answer.
In the evening when I was lying in my bed, supposed to be sleeping by now, but absorbed in thought, I remembered the script about Jade and Beck.
"Shit!", I said a little bit too loud but luckily Nona didn't hear me.
I had totally forgotten about that! And Beck hadn't said a word too…
"Shit, shit, shit", I whispered into the dark room.
I couldn't do anymore anything today so I turned around and closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep.
(Obviously it wasn't as easy as that, I needed in fact two more hours to doze off.)
…
"Caterina Valentine! Please come to the Black Box Theatre now. Caterina Valentine!", the loud voice of Lane announced through the speaker of Hollywood Arts.
Everyone in my class was staring at me what made me feel extremly uncomfortable.
I stood up nervously because I also didn't know why I was ordered in the Black Box Theatre.
I hadn't done anything wrong, had I?
"Um, hi!", I said when I entered through the door.
"Cat!", the teacher from our extra long class greeted me. (I always forgot his name.)
WAIT?! The teacher from our extra long class? The teacher whom I gave the script on Monday? The script that was super secret?
"By the way! There is something I really really really need to have back. It was a script but not for the class and-"
"Cat!", the teacher interrupted, "You don't have to worry about anything. I realized quickly that you gave me one script wich wasn't supposed for me. But I read it anyways-"
That was the moment my heart stopped beating. "No", I whispered unbelievingly.
"Cat! You don't have to worry", the teacher from the extra long class repeated once more, "Your script is extremly good. For a long time I haven't read such a well written script of a student and I was really surprised. I suggest something Cat: You will perform this play. You can decide by yourself wether you would like to be an actor or the director but it is your project.
…
Jade found me in the janitor's closet, sobbing.
"Cat!", she asked alarmed and the harsh tone of her usual voice was gone for that moment.
But I couldn't answer my best friend so she sat down next to me on the dirty ground.
"Hey, hey, everything is okay little red", Jade said to me. I felt her hand rub softly my back. "Cat, tell me what's up."
I looked at her worried face and this moment I realized how much she meant to me. Most of the time she didn't show it but I was important to her too. So I told her everything.
Jade's mood went from worried to confused.
"Why you didn't tell the teacher that you don't want to do this play? You could have said no Cat."
A little bit ashamed I turned my gaze away from Jade.
"I know", I told her with a small voice and a single tear rolled down my face. "I know", I repeated.
Jade hugged me tightly even though I knew she didn't like hugs. (Except the ones from Beck. Wait, they were broken up!)
I sighed when I thought about the two.
"You know what Cat?" Jade's voice was still really soft. "I can play the main part in your play and Tori, Robbie and Andre the other parts. Then you don't have to do any auditions and we could make it a best friends thing? It would be fun for everyone."
After I nodded happily I realized what I just had said yes to.
On the one side Jade suggestion was so nice and problem solving but on the other side she would realize quickly about what people the play was really. And this wasn't going to end well.
…
[Jade's point of view]
Unlike yesterday and the day before yesterday I came to school without Cat but with my own car. I accompanied her to her car because she seemed so sad that even I couldn't be not affected. Since Friday she seemed a little bit different. Her clothes for example weren't as bright as usual and she had been wearing dark jeans the whole week.
I hoped that she would get better now I helped her with her weird play she handed the teacher. I wondered about what it was but whatever it was about I didn't mind playing the main part. At least Tori couldn't become the lead and this way and I could show everyone my talent when we were going to perform it.
I sat in my car, checking quickly my phone for new messages but there weren't any. I tried to start my car but surprinsgly it didn't work. Did I ran out of gas? No, the tank was still half filled.
I sighed annoyed. And because my life hated me this much, it was exactly the moment Beck came by.
He looked at me and for a second our eyes met but he quickly averted his bright, warm eyes. (Wait, what?!)
Considering the situation quickly, I realized Beck was my only chance to get away from school. Andre and Robbie had longer class this afternoon and I had seen Cat as well as Robbie drive away.
"Can you please drive me home? Or fix my car?"
"Me?"
"Yes you! Who else is here right now?" I didn't wonder anymore why we broke up. How dump could somebody be?
"Umm… yeah I can try to fix you car."
…
Well as it turned out my car was unfixable because of some stupid item that was broken. Beck even said he had even some of them at home (for whatever dump reason) and that he would bring one of them along tomorrow so he could fix my car the next day.
For a short second I forgot that we were broken up because he acted so nice until I remembered the sad reality.
"I can drive you home", he told me.
"Whatever." I didn't knew why I was so rude to him.
Sitting on the passengers seat felt so familiar that my heart ached. I observed the other cars while Beck drove silently.
His fingers were beating irregulary against the steering wheel what drove me crazy.
After ten minuits without a single word being spoken I couldn't stand it anymore. Knowing exactly how it worked I turned the car stereo on.
One second later my favorite song started playing. I raised my eyebrows because I knew that Beck hated this song. In his opinion it was just "annoying" but because he had loved me so much he was fine with listening to it. (Although he secretly hated it.)
So why the fuck was this song playing? I turned to Beck and spotted that his face was bright red.
I had used to love the sight of him when he blushed. He just seemed so adorable when he did it.
I couldn't surpress a grin and for the first time since our breakup on Friday I felt some kind of relaxed.
The song was playing in infinite loop and after another ten minuits Beck stopped in front of my house.
The song was still playing in the background.
I took my bag and looked with an amused grin at him.
"Thanks for driving me."
He nodded, still embaressed about the song.
I should have gone out of the car but I stayed and kept staring in his eyes. We were both smiling at each other.
Should I kiss him now? Maybe Beck was asking himself just in this moment the same question.
The moment was so perfect. Slowly my face moved forwards just like his did.
But then I realized what I was about to do. I quickly backed off and escaped as fast as possibly from his car. I didn't look back I just ran the whole way to my front door.
He wanted to help me fixing my car, he had played my favorite song, he smiled at me and he was about to kiss me too…. Maybe, maybe there was this tiny possibility that he still loved me? Just maybe?
A/N: Thanks if you still read this story. So I know that most of you don't review but you really have to because there are a two questions that really need to be answered.
1. What did you think about the point of view switch?
2. Tell me if I should do it regulary. Otherwise I'm going back to Cat's point of view only.
Thanks for reading and thanks if you review. It would make me soooooo happy :3
