"Beck!" I shout, slamming the door and tossing my bag down, "Beck! Where are you?!"

"Why are you shouting?" he says moodily, stumbling down the stairs, "It's really early."

"It's 3 o'clock," I snap, "It's not fucking early, you're supposed to be at work in half an hour and I know you were doing night shifts last night but you can't just spend the whole day in bed. I left you a whole list of chores that needed doing and I'll bet you haven't done one."

"That's unfair," he says, "I just woke up."

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to start hiding alarm clocks around our room," I say sharply, "Are you at least ready to go to work?"

"No, not yet," he says, "I need to have a shower."

"Oh for God's sake," I say, walking into the kitchen, "Beck, I've been asking you to do the dishes for days."

"Why don't you just do the fucking dishes yourself if it bothers you so much?!" he yells, "Stop nagging, you sound about 80 years old!"

"Oh fuck you, Beck!" I shout, "I've been at work since 5 o'clock this morning, I won't be back until gone 11 tonight. I'm running on fumes here and all I want is to come home and see the dishes fucking done. When you're working 18 hours a day, then I'll do the dishes, OK?"

"I worked 18 hours yesterday!" he protests, "And all I want to do is get some rest, like I'm sorry the dishes weren't number 1 on my list of priorities."

"Fine," I sigh, "I'm not going to argue with you about this. I'm going to work."

"Wait, I thought you were going to drive me," he says.

"And I thought you were going to help me out by doing the dishes," I snap, "I guess we're both gonna be disappointed. I'll see you on set."

"Tori," he begins, but I shake my head, grabbing my bag and walking out of the apartment.

When I get home from work that night, it is almost 12 o'clock. I bumped into Beck once or twice while I was on set, but for the most part I tried to avoid him, working with the other actors instead. I chuck my bag on the sofa and head into the kitchen, where the washing up is still undone. I roll my eyes and start to fill the sink with warm, soapy water, well aware that I won't be able to sleep knowing that it's there.

It takes me about half an hour to get through it all and then I head upstairs to our bedroom. I grab my pyjamas and then go into the bedroom next door, getting changed and settling down for the night. Before I can even close my eyes, however, he appears in the doorway. "What are you doing?" he asks, "Why are you sleeping in here?"

"Did you think I was going to get into bed with you?" I ask, sitting up and turning on the light, "That I'd do the washing up and that would be that? That I would forget that I asked you to do it? That I had to do it after another 18 hour day? Did you actually do any of the chores I left for you?"

"No," he says, "but I'll do them all tomorrow, I swear."

"I've heard it all before, Beck," I say, "And I'm so tired of doing everything in this house. I'm tired period, to be honest. I'm working so hard all the time, going from movie set to movie set and I just don't feel like I'm getting anything back. When was the last time you did anything nice for me? At this point, I don't even want the flowers, or the meals, or anything like that. I just want to come home and not have to clean something up."

"It'll get better," he says, "I'm just going through a rough patch at work, it'll calm down and then I'll be here more to do the chores and cook you dinner and stuff."

"You're still here more than me!" I say furiously, "Please don't stand there and give me that bullshit about being too busy to do the chores because I'm much busier than you and I still make time to do them."

"Okay," he says soothingly, "I get it. I'll help out more. I've got a day off tomorrow and I promise I'll get through everything on your list."

"Thank you," I sigh, "Now go to bed."

"No," he says, folding his arms, "Not without you."

"Seriously, Beck, I've got to be up at 4.30. I'm not having this argument with you now."

"Fine," he says, crossing the room and getting into bed beside me. He pulls my body close to him and kisses my hair gently. "I'm sorry that I made you feel shit and I promise I won't let it happen again. I love you."

"I love you too," I say, "I'm just tired."

"I know," he says, "But I think part of that is the role you're playing – Marilyn is such a draining part to play and it's tiring you out. If you want to take a backseat on Virals, people would understand."

"No," I snap, "I can do both. I just can't always do both and do the washing up. OK?"

"Yes, okay, sorry," he says hastily, "Come on, let's get some sleep."

"Sounds like a great idea," I say huffily, rolling over and switching the light off.

The next morning, I head off to work before Beck wakes up, and I leave set hours after he does. When I get home, I actually feel the weight lift off my shoulders. He has tidied up and cleaned the entire house, dinner is waiting for me in the oven and he has even bought me flowers. I eat quickly, put my flowers in a vase and then go up to bed, stripping off and climbing into bed beside him. "Thank you," I whisper, kissing his cheek, and he smiles, pulling me close to him again.

"Are you coming or not?" I say quietly, "I don't care, Beck, I just have to tell the producers how many tickets I need."

"You don't care?" he groans, "Fine, then I won't come."

"You know that's not what I meant," I insist, rolling my eyes, "I just didn't want you to feel pressure to come, you don't have to cancel plans if you're busy. Obviously I want you to be there, don't act like a child."

"Oh now I'm acting like a child?" he says, dropping his plate by the sink and walking out of the room.

"Don't do that!" I snap, "You know I hate it when you do that!"

"Oh whatever," Beck says, "I'm going to work."

"Beck, don't you dare walk out of that door," I shout, "I swear to God, if you walk out of that door, I will not be here when you get back."

"What?" he splutters, "Why are you overreacting, you psycho bitch?! I have to go, I'm already running late."

"And you answering my question won't make you later," I yell, "Are you coming to the premiere of my film or not?"

"Not if you're gonna be in a mood like this," he says, "When you're like this, I don't even wanna be with you, let alone go out in public and sing your praises at some fucking premiere in front of a million screaming fans."

"What are you saying?" I say, trying to fight back the tears that are threatening to pool in my eyes.

"I'm saying I don't want to come!" he shouts.

"No," I say, "I meant about us."

"I'm not gonna do this right now," he says frankly, "If you want to have a deep chat about our relationship, we can do it after work. I've got places to be."

"Oh fine, just fuck off like you normally do, you stupid twat," I say, turning on my heel and walking back into the kitchen, "But don't be surprised if I'm not here when you get back."

"Stop fucking threatening me," he shouts, slamming the front door and walking back into the house, "You are not my whole world, Victoria, no matter what you may think. I have a job, I work just as hard as you do."

"I never said that you didn't!" I snap, "That's not what this is about!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say," he says, "Look, we can't go on like this."

"I know," I nod, "I'm so tired of arguing with you all the time."

"So what do we do?" he says, getting a glass of water and running his hands through his hair, "God, maybe we should just take a break."

"If that's what you want," I say.

"Of course that's not what I want," he sighs, "I want us to stop arguing though, and I don't see how we're gonna do that any other way."

"We just need to stop taking our frustrations out on each other," I say quietly, "Neither of us has actually done anything wrong. We're just stressed out."

"I'm not being funny, Tor, but you're always stressed out about something," he says, "You take on too many projects at once."

"So you want me to stop working as much?" I ask, "Will that stop you leaving me?"

"I wouldn't be leaving you," he says, "But yes, it would. If you took a break, I took a break, we could go on vacation, get some space and clear our heads. I feel like I haven't even seen you properly in weeks."

"I know," I sigh, "I know we haven't had a day or a night together in weeks and I really am sorry about that. But I wrap Marilyn on Friday, Virals wraps in two weeks and then Wicked doesn't start principal photography for three and a half months. We've both got about three weeks where we don't have to be here at all. Maybe we could go away then?"

"Okay," he agrees, crossing the room and taking my face in his hands, "I'll book us something tonight if you send me your dates. But I swear to God, Tor, if I have to cancel this again…"

"You won't," I promise, "I swear, I won't take on anything else in that time. Please, just don't leave me."

"I'm not leaving you," he says, pressing his lips to mine, "I love you. I just miss you, that's all."

"I miss you too," I say tearfully, "I love you so much."

"I know," he says, "I'll call you later, okay?"

"Okay," I say, stepping back from him and brushing my tears away. He walks away, towards the front door and stops with his hand on the doorknob.

"Oh, and Victoria?" he says, turning around.

"Yes?" I say.

"Of course I'm coming to your premiere," he says gently, "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Okay," I say, "Thank you."

"After what has allegedly been a rocky patch for teen superstars Tori Vega and Beck Oliver, the couple took time away from their busy production schedules to work on their relationship. In what is being called 'a make or break vacation' by sources close to the couple, Vega and Oliver flew out to London to begin a three week tour of Europe.

'Tori and Beck have been struggling to get along for months now,' our source tells us. 'They thought that working together again would bring them even closer together, but instead it's created a rift in their relationship, especially since Tori started working on 'Marilyn' too. It's meant she's working almost 20 hour days and when she's on the Virals set, she hardly gets to see Beck anyway.'

'They're still so young too,' another source reminds us. 'Tori's never lived away from her parents before and she's not used to having to nag people to do their chores. The last thing either of them wants to do after a long day's work is wash the dishes but they have to be done and it's one of the biggest things they argue about.'

Oliver and Vega were pictured getting on a private jet, and sources suggest that apart from the essential cabin crew, the stars requested complete privacy so that they could spend some quality alone time together. 'It's the first time they've spent more than 5 waking hours together in weeks,' our source tells us, 'and it could be exactly what they need to get their relationship back on track. When it comes down to it, they both love each other desperately but at the moment, whenever they talk, they argue so they really need some time away to get out of the rut they've found themselves in.'

Sources suggest that the stars plan to visit all of Europe's most romantic cities, starting in London and visiting Paris, Madrid, Barcelona and Milan before finishing up with a few days in Rome before they need to return to Hollywood in time for Vega's next premiere. 'Tori's been churning out films non-stop for several months now and Beck has asked her to slow down a bit. She loves the work and he understands that but their relationship is suffering because of it and obviously to him that's the most important thing.'

It seems that Vega has taken her boyfriend's request to heart. For the first time in months, Tori is not signed onto any immediate projects, her next work scheduled to begin in three and a half months when the filming for Wicked commences. Like his girlfriend, Oliver is not committed to any projects in the close future, although both are signed on with the studio who filmed the YA movie, 'Virals', under the condition that should they decide to film sequels, Oliver would continue his role as Ben Blue while Vega would maintain her role as advisor on the film.

The couple are next scheduled to appear at the premiere of Vega's film, 'Marilyn'. The film, about the icon's life from birth to death, is already being lauded by critics as one of the greatest films of the year and is expected to scoop Vega another Oscar nod for her role as the blonde bombshell. Filming of 'Marilyn' reunited Vega with her 'Romeo and Juliet' co-star, Kyle Harrison, who also has a starring turn in the film, and sources suggest that while Vega and Oliver's relationship has weakened over the last few months, Harrison's relationship with Vega has gone from strength to strength.

'They always got on very well,' our source informs us. 'They're very similar people and they absolutely adore each other, they'd do anything for each other. Both were in very stable relationships while they were filming 'Romeo and Juliet' and they've both experienced problems while filming 'Marilyn' so they've been a big source of comfort for each other. There's nothing more than strong friendship there though.'

The premiere of Oliver's film, 'Virals', is also scheduled for the upcoming months and it is expected to be the next big hit in teens and young adults, taking after Harry Potter and the Hunger Games. Oliver has received great praise from the cast and crew for his enthusiasm and joy throughout filming. He has also impressed the crew with his ability to keep secrets – having been the only one of the cast allowed to read any of the books. Director Jackson Holmes decided with Oliver's girlfriend Vega, an expert advisor on the films, that the cast's performances would be more believable if they didn't know where the plot was going. It is an interesting approach, but one that has delighted the cast. Lizzie Riley, who is playing the lead, gushed, 'I just absolutely fell in love with the characters as I went along, and the ending completely shocked me, but it meant that my performance was so realistic. Yeah, I think it worked really well and I loved working on the film.'

Before any of those premieres, however, Oliver and Vega's focus remains on their relationship and on their romantic vacation in Europe."

"Beck, are you ready?" I shout, adjusting my dress for the last time and flipping my hair over my shoulder.

"Yes," he says, sighing sarcastically, "I've only been ready for the last hour, Victoria, you're the one we're waiting for."

"Alright," I snap, "I'm sorry, okay, I'm just really nervous."

"Hey," he says, grabbing my arm and forcing me to look at him. "Tori, you have no reason to be nervous. You are the star of the show tonight, a seasoned professional with the big four under your belt, okay? You're an Academy Award winner. And if the reviews are anything to go by, you could be aiming for two on the trot."

"You have to say all this stuff," I say, "You're my boyfriend."

"Incorrect," he replies, "It's my job as your boyfriend to tell you the complete truth. When you're picking bad scripts, when you've done a bad scene, all of that. And I've done that throughout the filming, so that when it comes to tonight and I want to tell you that you're amazing, I can tell you the complete truth again."

"I love you," I murmur, "So much."

"Me too," he grins, "Now let's go watch you kick butt as Marilyn Monroe."

"Just days after the premiere of Vega's newest film, 'Marilyn', news has come of her latest role. Tori has signed on to play the lead role in Jodi Picoult's bestselling novel, 'The Pact'. Former co-star and boyfriend, Beck Oliver, has signed on to play opposite her in the stars' first on-screen reunion since their Oscar winning film, 'Romeo & Juliet'.

Vega has received rave reviews for her performance in the titular role, with many critics suggesting that another Oscar nomination may be on the cards for the 18 year old. She has also recently begun filming 'Wicked', the movie adaptation of the Broadway show, where she is playing the title character of Elphaba, as well as finishing her work as an executive producer on 'Virals', where boyfriend Beck is playing the lead.

Oliver and Vega have both signed on to film the sequel of 'Virals'. Based on the success of the film's opening weekend, the studio is prepared to have all the leads sign contracts for the remaining three novels, as well as promoting Vega to executive producer."

"Happy Birthday babe," Beck says as Tori hurries down the stairs.

"Thank you, darling," she says, kissing him absent-mindedly. "I am running so late."

"You haven't got time for your present?" he asks, pouting slightly.

"I always have time for a present," she smiles, slowing down. "Am I going to want to leave after you give this to me?"

"Not if I've done my job right," he grins, hurrying out of the house. "Close your eyes!" he shouts through the door and she does so obediently. There is the sound of the door closing and then something warm and fluffy drops into her arms.

"You did not!" she gasps, her eyes still firmly shut. "Beck!"

"You can open them now," he says brightly and she does so, squealing as she stares down at the Labrador puppy in her arms.

"Oh my God, Beck," she says tearfully. "I can't believe you did this."

"Do you like him?" he asks nervously. "His name is Bailey, I got him from a rescue shelter a couple of weeks ago and he-"

"Beck, stop," she says. "I love him, he's beautiful!"

"I know," Beck agrees, beaming now. "Listen, Vic, I know you said you had a really busy day, but I've booked a table for us to grab dinner at 8. Please will you come?"

"Of course," she says, looking up at him with soft eyes. "I'll talk to Jazz and make sure he lets me off early, okay? What shall I wear, where are we eating?"

"Dress nice," he advises. "Also, there's loads of flowers and stuff on the kitchen table from all our celeb friends."

"Oh really?" Tori said interestedly, walking into the kitchen. Her jaw drops open as she sees all the presents on the table and Beck grins.

"I know right," he laughs. "So we've got Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Anna Kendrick and Chris Pine over here. And then on this side, we have Taylor Swift, Ellen DeGeneres and Selena Gomez, as well as Graham Norton and Adele."

"Oh my God," Tori laughs, looking at all the notes. "How is this our life now?"

"I know," Beck agrees. "Okay, now give this beautiful puppy to me and you better get going. I'll bring him over to set later to see you, okay?"

"Okay," Tori agrees, kissing her puppy on the nose and then kissing Beck again. "I love you so much. So so much."

"I love you too," he says fondly, brushing the hair away from her face. "Now go, you're gonna be late."

"Okay, close your eyes," he says as the car pulls up outside the restaurant. "Do you trust me, Victoria?"

"Of course I do," she says. "I'd trust you a whole lot more if I could see but there you go."

"It's not far," he says, leading her through two doors and then he stops. "Okay, you can open your eyes."

"SURPRISE!" a hundred voices shout out all at once and Tori almost bursts into tears. All of her friends are gathered round, from Jade, Andre and Cat from Hollywood Arts to Jane, Kyle and Darryl from Romeo and Juliet to Lizzie and Parker from Virals and all her cast mates from Marilyn. Her parents are there, with Trina; Sikowitz is there, with Jackson Holmes and Max Anderson; even her hair and make-up team are there, all smiling brightly.

"Oh my God," Tori says breathlessly. "This is…thank you!" She hugs Beck tightly and then starts to move around the room, hugging all her friends and family tightly and starting to chatter away excitedly.

"Nice job, bro," Andre says, nudging Beck in the side, but Beck does not take his eyes off his girlfriend, watching her delight happily.

"I'm gonna marry that girl," he says finally and Andre nods.

"I know, man," he agrees. "I know."

"Happy Birthday superstar! As Oscar-winning actress Tori Vega turns 19, we take a look at how the star celebrated her special day, as well as looking back over her already exceptional career.

Deliveries started arriving to Vega's house in the Hollywood Hills very early in the morning, but boyfriend, Academy Award winner and global superstar, Beck Oliver, who lives with her, was up to accept them. Sources suggest that she received gifts and best wishes from stars ranging from Leonardo DiCaprio and Anna Kendrick, who she has been seen chatting with at award shows, to Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. Reports recently have indicated that Swift is looking to induct Vega into her 'squad', but this seems to be the first sign of contact between the two.

Vega left her house at 8am alone and headed straight to work on the set of 'The Pact'. At midday, Beck, her co-star on the film, joined her on set and the couple were seen playing with a golden Labrador puppy that was reportedly Vega's birthday present from her boyfriend. Beck left set with the dog at 1, and Vega returned home at 6pm.

The couple were next seen at a bar in the centre of Hollywood, where Beck had planned a surprise party for his girlfriend. It was attended by all of Vega's school friends, her parents, and many of her cast and crew mates from the films she has worked on. Among the stars who posed for pictures with Tori were Darryl Brown, Jane Lawson and Kyle Harrison, who worked on 'Romeo and Juliet' with her, Lizzie Riley and her boyfriend Parker, who worked on 'Virals', and the cast of 'Marilyn', the film for which Vega is slated to receive her second Oscar nomination. She was also joined by Jackson Holmes and Max Anderson, up and coming directors who are both very close to the star.

Towards the end of the evening, Anna Kendrick and Chris Pine joined the party, both posting pictures on Twitter from the party. Vega herself shared dozens of pictures, thanking many people for their generous gifts and presence on her special day."

"Two years on the trot for teen superstar Tori Vega, as she sweeps the board once again and steals her second Oscar right out from Jennifer Lawrence's nose. After a very successful awards season for the star, her fate was sealed as boyfriend and last year's Best Actor, Beck Oliver, walked out onto the stage to announce her win. He looked emotional as he read her name in the envelope but that was nothing compared to Vega, who burst into tears and, after a brief hug with co-star Kyle Harrison, ran up onto the stage and straight into his arms.

'This is an incredible honour,' she said tearfully. 'This film was so amazing to make, to be able to portray a woman as beautiful and inspiring as Marilyn Monroe was just…awesome. She had such an amazing journey and inspired such love and respect in so many people, and I'm lucky to have even the tiniest insight into what she was like. Thank you to the beautiful cast and crew of this film, but a special thank you to the Joe DiMaggio to my Marilyn, Mr Kyle Harrison who made every second of filming a joy. I love you, sir. Finally, I just want to say what an incredible moment it was to have my beautiful boyfriend present me with this award. Beck, I love you more every day. Thank you everyone, and goodnight.'

Vega made history last year as the youngest ever Academy Award winner for Best Actress, and has made history again this year as she joins a very select list of actresses who have won the 'Best Actress' Oscar in consecutive years – only Katharine Hepburn and Luise Rainer have ever achieved the same feat and Vega is by far the youngest to do so.

Boyfriend Beck Oliver was not so lucky, not receiving a nomination this year. However, speaking to the press afterwards, he seemed unconcerned by the fact and instead lavished praises on his girlfriend. 'I just think she's miraculous,' he said freely. 'Her performances are never anything less than incredible and she's so young. I can't wait to see what she'll go on to do and I hope I'm beside her every step of the way.'

He was then joined by Anna Kendrick, who popped over to say hi. They hugged happily and then Kendrick, who was previously nominated for an Oscar for her performance in 'Up in the Air', spoke to the reporter about Vega. 'She's the humblest, most down-to-earth young actress I've ever met,' Kendrick admitted. 'It's like she has no idea how good she is, even after winning so many awards. I mean, you've seen it, she cries at every single awards show there is, she cannot believe how many people love her work. I just think she's absolutely incredible.'

Leonardo DiCaprio, known friend of Vega, also had kind words to say about her at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Speaking to a reporter, he answered with a cheeky grin, 'Oh, I love Miss Vega. I mean, that performance in Marilyn? Out of this world. She's so young to be producing such thoughtful, clever, beautiful work and yet it comes across as easy, like she doesn't try at all. I have such respect for her and I try to take her to dinner when I can.'

Indeed, it seems that Vega and DiCaprio do meet regularly, having been pictured together on several occasions. Just days after her 19th birthday, she was seen meeting him for lunch and they seemed very relaxed and comfortable in each other's presence. Does boyfriend Beck have something to be worried about?"
