"You have the next line." Beck told Cat as she stared blankly at Beck.
"No,the bird does." Cat told him. At this moment Chris walked into the room, he was running late due to having car problems but he was mostly there for editing the movie later with Beck.
He was shocked when Beck asked him to do this but it was mostly Tori who came up with the idea because she remembered him talking about how he used to edit some videos with his band when they were trying to get more people to watch them.
But when Beck asked him the day before, Chris felt a little nervous which wasn't like him but he was excited to help out even if he was closer to Tori and Jade than the rest of the guys.
"And cut." Beck said as he put his hand on his forehead. "How is it that I'm playing the dumb girl." Jade asked him. Beck shakes his head at her as he tries to shush her.
Chris then walked over to Beck as he was looking at the screen. "Hey so are we still on for editing tonight?" Chris asked ,before Beck could answer him, Andre came in running while yelling at Tori since she touched the bird.
"Was that necessary?" Beck asked him. "You know the rules!You can borrow my Grandma's bird to be in your little student movie, but nobody's allowed to touch him." Andre said to all of them.
"I know,but…" Tori started to say as Chris walked over to her. "I said hey." Andre said to her. "I know but.." Tori said but once again was interrupted by Andre.
Andre then walked out the door while Cat started to complain about her wig hurting her head. "Here.I'll fix it." Tori said to her. But once again, Tori was interrupted by someone. This time it was Robbie. "Ah. .No." Robbie in a panicked tone as he frankly raced over to him.
"Why can't I just?" Tori asked him. "Who's the wig master in this film?" Robbie asked all of them. "You are."Tori and Jade said. "Wig master?" Chris whispered in Jade's ear. Jade shrugged at him with a small smirk.
"Yes a wig only the wig-master touches the wigs." Robbie informed them all. "Well, fix -master." Tori said in a sassy tone to him.
All of the sudden, Andre came back in while saying, "Well!It's almost five o' on,Larry." Andre called to the bird as he opened the cage. "What are we doing?" Beck asked him.
"I told you..Larry has to get some fresh air outside every hour." Andre said to as he was opening the cage, Larry quickly flew out of the cage.
"I guess that's a wrap for the day." Beck said with a sigh. "Do you think he will get the bird back?" Chris asked Jade in a low voice while Tori was asking them if they wanted to go to Nozu. "Honestly probably not."Jade said with a chuckle.
"Chris,Jade?" Tori asked the two of them. "Mhm?" Chris asked while turning his head to look at her. "Do you want to go with us in the blonde wigs to Nozu?" Tori asked the two of them.
"You want us to go in our wig?" Jade asked her while giving her a look. "Yeah, because have you ever wondered what it is like to be a blonde?" Tori asked her in an excited tone. "No." Jade said back to her with an eye roll.
"I wondered that,"Cat said. "I've also wondered why lemonade is a drink and first aid is for the injured. Like,what if a thirsty person gets injured? Do you give him first aid first,and then lemonade or lemonade first and then second aid?" Cat asked all of them.
Jade,Tori,and Chris just stared at Cat as she chuckled at herself over her saying Lemonade. "So Sushi?" Tori asked them. "Let's go." Jade said.
"I would go but I have to edit with Beck later and I don't exactly have blonde hair so I can't feel what it is like to be a blonde." Chris said to her. "Oh that's ok." Tori said as she smiled at him. "See you later." Tori said as she walked towards the door with Cat but Jade didn't move.
It was then just the two of them in the room, "So, you are editing with Beck?" Jade asked as she slowly started to walk over to the door. "Yeah, Tori recommended me to him since I used to edit back in New York." Chris told her.
The two haven't talked about what exactly happened when they all saw Beck and Jade at the Wanko's sale. Chris didn't know exactly what was happening between Beck and Jade. But he knew one thing about everything that was going on which was he knew it was none of his business.
Before Jade could say anything else, Beck walked in and Jade and him locked eyes. When Chris saw this, he knew the reason why Jade hasn't said anything was mostly because Jade and Beck haven't even talked since it happened. "Well, I better go." Jade said with a small smile to both of the boys.
Beck did a small wave to her as she walked out the door. He then sighed and looked at Chris with an eyebrow raised. He didn't look jealous but he definitely didn't look happy with him.
Chris didn't exactly understand why he was giving him that look, however he could feel the bitterness that Beck was holding onto him. This was confirmed by the way Beck's voice was in the next sentence that he said. "You ready?" Beck asked in a bitter tone. "Yeah,yeah." Chris said to him while walking over to Beck.
Chris could feel Beck wasn't exactly happy with just didn't really know why he was exactly angry at him.
It was a couple hours later and Chris was sitting in the auditorium with his laptop in his lap and listening to his music with his headphones on.
He was in complete focus until Andre tapped him on the shoulder which caused Chris to jump in surprise. "Hey I need your help." Andre said in a panicked voice. Startled by the sudden tap on the shoulder. "Alright.." Chris said as he turned off his blasting music throughout his headphones. He started to laugh as Andre screamed in frustration as Larry came flying across the room.
"This bird is driving me insane." Andre said as he got on his knees to put the bird seeds in the cage. "You don't say." Chris said in a sarcastic tone. "What are you exactly doing-" Chris started to say but Andre quickly grabbed his arm and raced out the door while turning off the lights.
Andre then put his ear up to the was quiet as Chris watched amused by all of this. This was how Beck found the two of them as he walked in."Hi." Beck said with two cups of coffee in his hand and a confused look on his face. "Shh." Andre said to him and motioned him to go away.
"He is trying to catch Larry." Chris said as Beck handed him a cup of coffee. "Thanks, I can pay you back." Chris told him. "No need,it was only a couple bucks." Beck told him with a shrug.
It was a process but Chris was starting to understand why he was acting this way. From the amount of time Chris and Jade would hang out it would seem like something was happening between the two of them. But what Beck didn't see was the pain that Chris could see that nobody else seemed to notice.
Chris thought about the time Jade and him had singed together and Chris could hear the anger and resentment in Jade's voice. Did Beck not see that when he saw her throughout the day? Was he that blind that Jade West is still going through so much pain but still chooses not to say anything?
"How are you exactly going to catch Larry?" Beck asked. "Well, I put some special bird seed in his cage, and turned off the as I hear him munching on that seed,I'm gonna go in there,slam that cage and then I'll get my life back to normal." Andre told the two of them.
Beck and Chris then looked at each other in confusion as Andre put his ear back to door with a sigh. "What do you mean?" Beck asked,Andre then took his ear off the door.
"Well,every night,when my Grandma goes to bed, she talks to the he wasn't there last night,she made me crawl under her bed and talk to her…" Andre said but then paused as he awkwardly rubbed his neck. "In the bird's voice." He told them.
Chris and Beck burst in laughter when they heard this. "Alright,Alright." Andre said while waving them down. "What does your grandma want you to say?" Beck asked. "Well,she goes, Larry?Are ya there,Larry?So,I had to go..Yes,Grandma Larry loves you Grandma-" Andre was telling them but then was interrupted by Chris.
"Wait so Larry calls your grandma, grandma?" Chris asked. "Yeah."Andre replied back to him. "So that means you and the bird are cousins?" Beck asked him. Andre paused to think about this for a minute. "I guess so…"Andre whispered.
"Shh…Did you hear that?" Beck asked. "Larry!" Andre said. "Let's get him."Chris said as he opened the door however when they turned on the light instead of Larry, they saw Sinjin.
"Oh come on." Andre said while banging his head on the wall. "Dude…" Chris said with a laugh.
"Alright well. Chris and I have to go back to finishing some editing-" Beck said to Andre. "But Larry-" Andre started to say. "If we see Larry we will let you know." Beck informed him.
"You know…if you need help I can always help-" Sinjin started to offer but was interrupted by Beck. "Bye." Beck said with a small wave.
It was after the play, and the only three people in the room was Jade,Chris, and Beck.
Beck was sitting down while looking at his feet. Everything had happened so quickly, but Beck and Chris had missed a lot while editing.
But one thing they didn't miss was Larry and that was completely the cause for the whole production of their mini movie to go down hill.
Jade walked over to Beck. He then looked at her but instead of speaking the two of them said nothing to one another. "I just wanted to say good job on your movie. My brother um needs me so I have to go." Jade whispered but before Beck could reply, she ran out the door.
Chris swore he saw tears coming from her as she raced out but instead of racing after her, he decided to stay with Beck.
Beck then stood up and walked over to Chris and sat next to him. "Hey, thanks for your help." Beck said to him. "It was no problem. I figured out a few more things then I already knew." Chris said with a shrug.
It was quiet for a moment but Chris allowed himself to say what he needed to say next to Beck. "Jade and I.. we have nothing going on between us." Chris told him.
Beck looked at him but he sighed in relief over what Chris had just said to him. "Is she ok?" Beck asked him. "Well, she just ran out crying so I am guessing not." Chris told him.
Beck then started to stand up but Chris stopped him. "Before you get up and chase after her. Honestly,I wouldn't. Her coming here was probably the best thing she could handle." Chris told him as he slowly stood up.
"You think so?" Beck asked him. "I seen how she has been lately. She is just trying to keep quiet to not hurt you. But you never seen to notice her pain til I told you all of this." Chris said as he grabbed his stuff and put them in his bag.
"Just think about it."Chris said to him and then just like that he walked out. Would Beck understand what he even knew by any of this?
Chris then walked to his car and put the radio on. He knew Jade wasn't there since the two of them normally parked next to one another. But Chris had this strong feeling that in the end of this, maybe Beck would start to understand or find a way to understand all of this. Chris just didn't know when.
