A/N-Back again guys! Alright I've finally got a pretty good update schedule. So every week I'm gonna update (that gives me time to think on how to write the next chapter). So here is the chapter you've been waiting for! Disclaimer: I do not own Janelle Monae or Trey Songz (I wish I owned him...)
Previously On Save Me...
*During Sikowitz's Class*
"Beck Oliver".
"Here".
"Tori Vega".
"Here".
"Jade West".
"HERE!" Jade screeched
"David Miller".
"Here".
"Cat Valentine".
*silence*
"Cat Valentine?"
*still silence*
"Where is Cat?" Sikowitz asked the class but no one responded, after the class settled down and the teaching began the door busted open.
"I'm here sorry I'm late!" A happy Cat came in the class. Why is she happy? Tori thought. She happily bounced to her seat as Sikowitz continued with class.
*BRING BRONGG BRINGG*
"Before you guys leave here are your partners for your acting project". Sikowitz said as the teenager's rushed to see who they got paired with. A lot of girls were giving Tori a death-glare.
"Hey that Freak got paired with Beck!" One girl shouted angrily, as the other girls turned to Tori and continued to give her the death-glare.
"I got paired with Andre Harris!" Jade shrieked.
"WHICH ONE OF YOU IS ANDRE HARRIS?" Jade screeched to the crowd, a huge gap formed in the middle of the crowd while everyone was pointing to Andre.
"LISTEN LOUD AND CLEA-
"NO YOU LISTEN! EVERYBODY MAY BE AFRAID OF YOU BUT I'M NOT! YOU WILL NOT BE BOSSING ME AROUND WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PROJECT! I'M GONNA STOP BY YOUR HOUSE TONIGHT AT 7:45! GOT IT!" Andre screeched at Jade, causing her to flinch at every word he yelled.
"DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!" Andre yelled again causing Jade to shake her head yes quickly. With that said Andre stalked away leaving everybody speechless. Nobody ever DARED to step to Jade like that. Jade shook her head and stalked off in :the other direction.
"Nononono". Tori muttered to herself seeing that see got paired with Beck. Great. Just fucking great.
*Line Break*
Beck's POV
Wow, just wow... I thought, I've never heard or see anyone scream at Jade like that. This kid got some guts. He's cool in my book already. I push my way through the crowd to see I got paired with Tori. Again, really. I saw that Cat got paired with Robbie and I hope that Jade realizes that Cat isn't some other chick trying to steal Robbie from her. I see Tori fleeting from the crowd then the announcements go off.
Fellow Hollywood Arts Students: Prom is coming next week so find a date and get all gussied up. Prom will start at 9:45 and ends at 12:00 and make sure to arrange a ride home!
"Great, I have nobody to take to prom with me." I mutter to myself, feeling mainly stupid and a little relieved.
*At the End of The School Day*
Once again I see Tori fleeting from the school as quickly as possible but I was able to catch up to her. I grab her arm but she snatches it from me and snaps her head around.
"What?" She says feigning annoyance and irritation.
"We have a play to rehearse remember?" I say, I could see she was having a mental argument in her head (I mean com'on she had the thinking face on).
"We could do it at your plac-
"NO...I-I mean no...we can't do it at my place." She quickly tries to cover up her outburst.
"Ok, we could go there now." I reply back, while grabbing her hand and dragging her to my car.
The car ride was silent and uncomfortable. Tori kept fidgeting in her seat, like she was desperate to find something to do. I turn on the radio and Janelle Monae-Yoga came on.
Baby bend over,
Baby bend over,
Baby bend over,
Let me see you do that yoga
Baby bend over,
Baby bend over,
Let your booty do that yoga.
Fle-
I quickly turn the radio to a different station. A slow sensual song comes on but I'm too busy paying attention to the road.
Would you mind if we do it like this?
I want you on top (to start off)
I want you to find your favorite spot (uh oh)
When you find it make your body rock, you got my heart;
I'm gonn finish what you start
Make your love come down.
Then I'm gonn get on top (my turn) & once I get there I'm not gonn stop
Till I feel your body getting hot
You go my heart, wanna take you to the top
Make your love come dow-
"Jesus Crist!" I mutter under my breath while redness fill my cheeks. What the hell is up with these songs? It's like all they talk about is sex.
Finally we get to my RV. I get out my car and open the passenger door for Tori as well and we both make our way to my RV. Opening the door and plopping myself on the couch and Tori digs through her bag to find a piece of paper to start making our script.
"Alright so what will we call this play?" Tori asks as she grabs her pen, awaiting for my answer.
"How about Uptown Downtown." I blurt out without even thinking.
"Good tittle, what would it be about?" She asks again while she scribbles down the tittle and some more small notes.
"It could be about a girl struggling to choose between a snooty rich man and a poor luggage boy." I reply as she looks back in a little shock but scribbles down what I just said.
"Is there something wrong with my idea?" I asked as I put my hand over her to stop her from writing anymore.
"No...I-I was just a little shocked that you thought of that quickly." She manages to stutter out, she looks down at my hand and I quickly snap it back while muttering a 'sorry'.
"Characters?" She asked getting back onto the project.
"Rebecca Wiseman, Mark McCarthy, Troy Neverson." I blurt out again my mind speaking more than my body.
"Interesting names." Tori says as she writes them down.
"Look...Tori we seriously need to talk." I say as she tenses up and drops the pencil.
"There is nothing to talk about." Tori replies coldly.
"But there is stuff we need to talk abou-
"Drop it." Tori cuts me off.
"But Tor-
"I said drop it." She says in a more firmer voice. Ok 2 can play at that game. I picked up her pencil and dropped it purposefully on the floor.
"There I dropped it and now we can talk." I say a small smirk playing at my lips, I could see her fighting off the smile but she managed to hide it.
"Tori you can keep avoiding me, I mean com'on let me at least get to know you better." I say while getting serious
"Bu-
"No buts, you tell my about yourself and I tell you about myself." I cut her off.
"Ok fine." She says as she takes a deep breath and starts to speak.
"My name is Victoria Dawn Vega, my mother Holly Marie Vega. I was born on February 22nd, and as you know I don't see my Father at all. He left me and my Momma stranded. I was given some sort of power that allows me to do this -she picks up a book and makes it levitate in mid air-, it was passed down from generation to generation. It skipped my Momma and went onto me. I've been moving from place to place my whole life. I never go to make any friends, they basically made fun of me. They called me a freak, nerd, ugly, bitch, slut, etc. I just want to live a normal life for once and not be called a freak for once." Tori finishes with a stray tear rolling down her face but she quickly swipes it away and looks up waiting for me to share my story.
"My name is Beckette James Oliver, my mother Jennifer Corrinne Oliver. I was born on February 22nd as well -Tori's face brightens up-. My Father died a 4 years ago, but he was the best father you could ever have. He would always treat me like I was a king. I remember whenever I had a nightmare he would make both of us a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with some cold milk. But after he got into a car accident I was devastated, I wasn't eating right and I loss a lot of weight. It took me years to get over his death, but when I met Cat she was so happy and bubbly and it just made my day whenever she smiled. She gave me happiness that I needed. Anyway I really don't know if I have some secret power in my generation, but if I did I would use it to protect you." I finish and I look up at Tori to see she had tears on her face.
"It's okay." I muttered/whispered to her as I brought her into a hug.
A/N- Okay I know you guys want to rip me head off for not updating but I've been going through some tuff shit. I've got PARCC testing next week and then the Constitution Test in 2 more weeks. And to top it all off I lost my Best Friend today. He was my other half and I lost him and I feel empty inside now. Without my best friend there is a black hole, where all my emotions go and I have no way of closing that black hole.
