Tori's POV: As I was pulled out of the ambulance, I took comfort in the fact that there were 3 trustworthy people with me the entire time. If Beck, Sikowitz, and Lane weren't with me, I'm pretty sure I would've been scared out of my mind. I don't know if it has anything to do with my minor, turning major every time I see him, infatuation with him, but whenever there's something wrong, Beck has a nice way of calming down the people involved.
I looked up, looking past the bright as hell hospital lights shining down on my face, to find Beck's radiant face. I then smiled, because I knew that with Beck by my side, nobody would hurt me. I really wish I knew why Jade pounced me in the café. All I remember seeing was Beck and Jade in what seemed like a heated argument, then I saw her turn towards me.
She turned towards me, screamed my name, and all I had the time to do was gulp. By then she had me on the ground, and the rest that happened landed me here. In a hospital, when I should be in Sikowitz's improv class. At that moment I found myself wondering who they got to replace him for the rest of the school day. Probably someone good, but not nearly as good as Sikowitz.
I was about to ask Sikowitz himself who had replaced him, then in my mind slapped myself on the forehead. How would he know who had replaced him, if he was with me the entire time since the attack happened? I felt so stupid at that moment, but had no time to tease myself about it, because we'd arrived at the proper room for my treatment and examination.
They poked and prodded my body and listened to my reactions to try to make sure they didn't miss anything. The examination lasted about 20 minutes, then 2 handsome police officers came into the hospital room I was put in to ask me some questions. "Hello, ma'am. I'm Officer Nic Powers, and this is my partner and brother, Steven," the polite officer introduced. They started the questioning.
"So lets start with the basics: What's your name?" "Victoria Marie Vega, sir," I answered simply. This was going easier than I thought. "Alright Miss Vega, and what was the name of your attacker, if you know?" the officer continued. "Jadelyn Alison West," I replied even though it felt weird saying her real name instead of Jade. "Okay, and one last question ma'am," the officer started, "do you know why Jadelyn attacked you?" he asked.
"I apologize officer, but I was trying to figure that out myself," I responded. Just as the officers were about to thank me for my time, wish me better and such, I saw Beck swing in and say something I never ever thought I'd hear him say in a place other than my dreams. "Jadelyn Alison West attacked Victoria Marie Vega after I broke up with her, officers.. And if you're wondering what that has to do with it, why it's involved in this, is because Jadelyn despises Victoria…
But now she despises me as well, because I ended our relationship because I'm absolutely, completely head over heels in love with Victoria Vega." I looked at him with wide eyes and reacted as if the 2 police officers weren't even in the room. "Y-You are in love with me?" He looked at me with a completely different expression than I've ever seen on his face. I believe it was an expression to show he was in love. I was still in disbelief as he walked over to me.
"Victoria Vega, I've been smitten. By the most wondrous, graceful, gorgeous, intelligent, amazing girl I've ever met. From the moment I laid my eyes on you, when you ran into me and spilt my coffee on my shirt, I felt like we had a connection. I thought Jade was the most beautiful girl in the world, but the day I met you I remember you flipped my whole entire comprehension of beauty and you broke my scale.
I am absolutely in love with you, and I broke up with Jade because I knew that if I ever wanted children, or marriage, I couldn't let my relationship with her continue. I'm not saying that I want to marry you, because I know you deserve so much better than myself, but I was wondering, if you could ever forgive me for making Jade do this to you, would you consider going out with me?"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing was actually coming from Beck! Did he have any idea how long I've waited to hear him say that? I looked into his beautiful eyes, which they say are the windows to the soul, and saw he was telling the truth. "Beck, you really left Jade, your girlfriend of one year and almost eleven months, for me?" I questioned.
He smiled at me and leaned towards my face, "You tell me if this gives you the answer you're looking for," he cockily replied. He leaned closer and placed a soft, and gentle but passionate kiss on my lips. I was shocked at first, but quickly obliged. I felt his tongue pass by my upper lip asking permission to enter.
I opened my mouth slowly. Permission for access granted. Our kiss lasted so long it felt like the end scene of a fairytale. The kind where the prince meets the peasant girl, they fall in love, go through so type of trail, and eventually get married. I cannot say I have ever been happier in my entire life. Not when I got asked to transfer to Hollywood Arts, or when I met my friends, or even when I first met Beck.
Right now will definitely go down in my mind as thee happiest moment of my life. He finally pulled back and his smile was a mile wide. "Did you enjoy that as much as I did?" he slyly asked. "Oh yes," I smiled along with him, hoping I didn't look as stupidly happy as I felt. "So did that answer your question as to whether or not I really left Jade for you?" he continued.
"Yes. I'm sorry for doubting, I just found it hard to believe, since Jade is so… Jade. And I'm just… me," I replied very truthfully. Beck looked at me with a shocked expression on his face, "Victoria Marie Vega, after what I said, how could you put yourself down like that?" I looked away, ashamed, "I don't know, it's just I thought Jade and you were really happy together. Now I hear this, and…"
My thoughts and sentence trailed off as I tried to hide my issues with self-image and self esteem from Beck. "I can tell there's something wrong with you, Tori," Beck looked at me with an expression and eyes that made me want to just break down and tell him my story. It took only a few second for me to decide that if there was anyone I could trust besides Andre and Cat, it was definitely Beck.
But then again, this matter was something I haven't told Cat, or even Andre. The only people who know about my issues are my mother, father, and my sister Trina. I decided to confess, since I knew it would both, bring the two of us closer, and make me feel so much better. "Alright Beck, you got me. There is definitely something wrong with me… Before I tell you, I'd like it if you shut the door…"
Beck walked over to the door and shut it carefully, then came back to sit down next to me. He could definitely tell that there was a story coming on. Just as I was about to begin, a doctor walked into the room. "Sorry you two, but since Tori is in stable condition, your teacher and guidance counselor said it's time for you to go back to school.
When Beck got up to walk out and frowned about having to leave me, I beckoned him towards me. He walked back over and I pushed myself forward to kiss him, and whispered in his ear, "See you later, boyfriend." Just before he walked out the door, he turned back to smile and wink at me.
"See you later, girlfriend."
