Okay, I am so tired and have earned the right to sleep in later. This is offically my longest chapter and probably the only one I'm putting up today (I doubt it though). Lol. Thank you for the reviews Sierra, McDip, I'mAMusicGirl, and future reviewers. Chapter 13, and offically my favorite one, enjoy. Sorry put it up so quickly.
Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.

Beck's POV
When André told me that he caught me with Tori I had nothing to say, what could I say that would make it not seem as bad? I was still with Jade, yet I spent the last class of the day with playing Tongue War with Tori. So, I just said the truth, hoping he'd understand.
We were driving down the street and I could feel André's eyes staring at me, demanding answers I sighed and glanced at him so that he'd know he had won. Alright," I said, turning my eyes back to the road, "you wanna know the truth?"
"Yeah, the truth would be kinda nice." He nodded and turned towards me.
"Alright, so Tori and I both admitted that we like each other." I started
"And so you broke up with Jade, right?" he asked, anger hinting at his voice.
"Not exactly. You see, I want to get her alone and I was going to call her that night that we took you to the hospital and tell her to come over, but she never answered and once I got a hold of her some other guy answered." I frowned, thinking about it again then shook it off before I could get mad again.
"Damn…" was all André said then he turned his attention back out the window and sighed. "I'm sorry man."
"It's alright, I just don't wanna talk about it until I'm able to get it all figured out with Jade" I said, focusing on the road.
"So, what if was just nobody like that, are you going to stay with Jade?" he questioned.
"Nah, I love Tori. I mean, I love Jade too, but not as much as I used to, maybe I never loved her like that and Tori just made me realize it. I don't know. I'll get it figured out soon enough." I shrugged and kept driving.
"Yeah." Was all he said and the rest of the ride to his house was quiet. I dropped him off at his house then took off home as I thought about what I was going to do about the whole Tori and Jade thing. I gave up about half way and turned on the radio, hit CD and listened to the CD full of random songs that all of my friends made me as a gift for just being me, I guessed.
I was somewhat relived when I pulled up in the driveway behind my trailer and "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston started paying. I killed my truck, went inside my trailer, threw my bag across the room, laid back on my bed and thought as I slipped into unconsciousness and dreamt about how my life would be with either of the two girls that were, unknowingly to them, paying Tug-Of-War with my heart.
I was half way through my dream of having Jade as a bride when my phone starts playing "Finally Falling" and vibrating in my pocket. I grunted then woke up, dug my phone out of my pocket and answered on the last ring "Hello?" I asked, tiredly.
"Beck? Did I wake you up? I'm sorry if I did, but we need to talk." It was Jade.
I sighed and sat up then yawned. "Yeah, I know we do. Come over and we will."
She hesitated. "Is Tori there?" How did I know that was going to be what she was going to ask?
"No, Jade, she's not. She's at her house, she needed to talk to her dad about something, some come over before it get too dark. I've got things to do.
"Alright." she said then hung up. I sighed, hung up, and rubbed my eyes. Could she not have let me think about Tori before she called? Oh well, this had to be taken of now. I groaned as I got up and tried my best not to look sleep deprived. Jade showed up around 4:30 and it was a 30 minute walk from my house to her's, depending on how fast you walked. I let her in then sat on my bed and she sat at the small table, facing me.
"Alright, you first. Who answered your phone?" I asked angrily, wishing I had gotten a bit more sleep than I did.
She looked up at me and blinked. "My dad." She said as if it were obvious, I on the other hand felt bad, but only a little I started to say something when she held up her hand to stop me. "Let me go first," she sighed, looked at her hands for a while then looked back up, "Beck, I think I'm in love with someone else, I'm sorry."
At first I sat there in complete shock for a while then shook it off. "Jade, don't be sorry." I said and took her hands and smiled at her. "Because I've, subconsciously, fallen in love with Tori I'm sorry, but I couldn't help myself. But, I still love you, only it's more like how I love Cat, like a sister." I admitted and she nodded and we just sat there, soaking in what we both admitted we felt for one another.
It was quiet as Jade stared at me and I stared back, then slowly a smile spread across her face and she threw herself into my arms and hugged me. I blinked, but returned the hug. "Beck, I thought this was going to be hard and you'd be mad at me, but I'm also glad to know that it wasn't just me that felt that there was nothing any more."
I smiled and said the only thing that came to my mind. "Me too Jade. Friends?"
She laughed and we pulled apart and she held out her hand. "Friends." She smiled as we shook hands. "People change, as does their taste in a lot, and we just happened to change enough to the point that we drifted away from each other."
"Glad that's over." I thought as I let out the breath I realized I'd been hold since I admitted my love for Tori to her. "I don't know about you." I said getting up, "but I am hungry." She nodded. "Alright, you can eat with us and we can watch a movie then I'll take you home, alright?"
"Yeah, alright." she said as she pushed a lock of hair behind her ear. We walked out of my trailer and into the house. Mom looked up as we walked in and smiled.
"There's the happy couple." She said then got up and went and hugged Jade. "I bet you two are hungry." She smiled and let Jade go.
"Actually, Mrs. Oliver, Beck and I aren't together any more." Jade admitted causing Mom to frown.
"Don't worry, you two will get over whatever's putting a bump in your road." She turned and headed for the kitchen without waiting for an answer as to if we were hungry or not. "Ever since Beck bought that trailer, we haven't got to see much of you or him." She called from the kitchen.
Jade looked at me and motioned for me to follow my mom. I sighed. "Aright, pick out a movie and I'll talk to her." I said then headed towards to kitchen. "Mom?" I asked as I went a sat on the side of the counter that faced the kitchen.
"Yes, Honey?" she asked as she buzzed around the kitchen, cooking dinner.
"Mom, Jade and I aren't together." I said slowly.
"I know, Jade just told me, Sweetie." She stopped and patted my cheek. "It'll be okay, you'll be back together soon. She's such a pretty girl."
"Yes, she is." I admitted, "But, we both agreed that we don't feel the same for each other any more and I've kinda got this other girl that I like already."
Mom stopped for a while and stared at me then smiled. "Whatever makes you happy, Honey. Most relationships don't last past high school. It's good that you've moved on. So, tell me about this new girl." I laughed. I could always count on mom to be supportive of my decisions no matter what. So, as she cooked dinner, I sat at the counter and told my mom about the girl I was in love with and my new Soon-To-Be-Girlfriend, Tori Vega.
Once Mom was finished cooking me, Jade, Dad, and Mom sat in the front room and watch the movie that Jade picked out, Paranormal Activity, and ate. Occasionally Mom would scream and jump, I had to admit that I didn't sit there like a statue like my Dad did. I couldn't tell if it was from fear or boredom. Jade on the other hand chose to see it as a comedy and thought most of it was funny, but yet boring.
Once it was over, thank God, me and Jade said good-night to my parents and Jade promised that even though we weren't dating that when she came over she'd say hi to my parents. I went out and got in my truck and started it as Jade climbed into the passenger side. "That was fun." She said as she yawned and stretched. I nodded in agreement because when I went to say "yeah" a yawn came out instead and she laughed. I looked at the clock on the dashboard and it read 7:10 PM. I back out of the drive way and took off driving to Jade's house, which would took about fifteen minutes.
When I got back home from dropping Jade off it was 7:40 and I thought of nothing, but my bed. I got out of my truck, walked into my trailer, stripped down to my boxer then climbed into bed. I almost fell asleep as soon as I touched my bed, then I had to sit up to call Tori.
"Hello?" her voice answered, sounding strained.
"Hey Tor. Are you busy?" I asked, trying to ignore the call of my bed.
"Not really, just trying to- TRINA! SHUT UP! I'M ON THE PHONE!" she yelled followed by the slamming of her door.
"Someone's cranky." I joked and she sighed.
"I know, I'm sorry. I'm just really tired and I just got out of the shower, honestly." That light my mind up with all kinds of wonderful pictured and fought off my bed whispering sweet words of sleep to me.
"Oh really now?" I smirked and she laughed.
"Perv, hold on." She said then the phone was muffled by her bed as she got dressed, when she picked it back up I had almost fallen victim to my bed again. "So, what's up?"
"Nothing, just wanted to tell my new girlfriend good-night and to tell her how much I love her." I said snapping out of it.
"Awww, Beck, you're so sweet. Wait, new girlfriend?" I laughed.
"Yes, new girlfriend, I was just with Jade and I talked to her about everything." I closed my eyes and laid back on my bed.
"Aaaand?" I could hear the smile in her voice.
"And we both agreed on how we felt, that we weren't in love with each other any more, and we broke up, but agreed to be friend." I admitted, trying to fight off the tired feeing.
"Awesome. Beck, you're tired. Go to sleep, alright?" I opened my eyes.
"Yeah, alright, good-night. I love you, Tori Vega." I smiled, man that felt good to say, but hearing it was even better.
"Good-night, I love you too Beck Oliver." The smile touched her voice again. "I think I'm going to like getting to say that every night."
I chuckled. "Me too. Get some sleep." I hung up my phone then got up and plugged it into the charger then went and got back into bed then fell asleep.
I woke up, what seemed like an hour later to someone banging on my door. "Hold on!" I yelled as I sat up and rubbed my eyes as I tried to locate my pants. I forced myself to get up and went and put on my jeans then check my phone, 11:04 PM. I was gonna kick someone's ass for waking me up this late at night on a school night. I sighed and went and opened the door to see Robbie panting, a worried look on his face and Rex, a mess.
I let him in and turned on the light then went over to my mini-fridge and took him back a bottle of juice, which he happily took and chugged. I went and shut my door then sat on my bed as I waited for him to catch his breath.
"….Cat…" he wheezed.
"What about Cat, Robbie?" I sighed and rubbed my eyes, I didn't have time for this, I should be asleep.
"Trouble….help…money…..kill her…." Was all he was able to choke out as he kept gasping for breath.
"What?" I stood up and started looking for my shirt. "Breathe Robbie and tell me everything. He nodded and once I had my shirt, jacket, socks, and shoes on and was sitting back on my bed, he caught his breath.
"I was walking home from school when Jason, that bully that always attack em and Rex after school, came over and took me to his house. When we got there I met his sister, Corrine, and at first everything was fine and then they told me to pay them so $20 so that Cat would get hurt so I did. And they told me their cousin, Luke – Yes, the Luke that used to go to school with us – has Cat and isn't going to give her back until we get $25,000 and if we don't they're going to kill her." He said it all so fast that I barely caught it all, but I did.
My hands curled themselves into fists and I felt ready to punch something. "How did they get a hold of her in the first place?" I growled.
Robbie shrugged and kept trying to keep hi breathing under control.
"Cat wasn't feeling well this morning, so she went home, so he might have grabbed her then. Him and Cat were pretty close when he went here." Said Rex as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively when he mentioned how close Luke and Cat used to be then him and Robbie started arguing over just how close Cat and Luke got, or something like that. I didn't care enough to pay attention at that point, I grabbed my phone and called Jade and Tori 3- Way as I walked out and headed to my truck.
"Hello?" Tori asked sounding groggy.
"Tori? Why are you calling me this late? I thought it was Beck!" Jade yelled.
"Sorry to wake you girls up this late, but we have a problem." I said as I opened the passenger door, opened the glove compartment, and started feeling around.
"What is it?" They both asked in unison, Jade still sounding mad at being woke up at this hour and Tori sounding tired.
"Cat's been kidnapped and they're threatening to kill her." Bingo! My hand touched the cold metal and I pulled out the gun that my dad bought me and I, thankfully, never had to use. Well, looked like it was going to be put to good use soon enough. I set it in the seat as I shut the glove compartment back then grabbed it and shut the truck door as I headed back to the trailer.
"What!" Tori yelled, sounding more alert.
"Good." mumbled Jade.
"Jade!" Tori yelled and then they started arguing, in my ear.
"Hey! Knock it off you two. Cat needs us," they quit, "now, I don't care how, but sneak out of your houses and come over to mine. Robbie's already here and I'm about to call André."
"Alright." they both said, clearly angry at one another then they hung up. I hung up and walked inside my trailer. Robbie jumped and ran to the other side of my trailer, apologizing for stuff I didn't care about. I set the gun on the table.
"Robbie, I'm not going to shoot you. Calm down, the girls are on their way and we'll start planning after I get André here." I said as I hit the key to call André's cell phone.
"Yeah, what is it?" He mumbled as he answered the phone.
"André, it's Beck. Cat's been kidnapped. Come over to my place, the girls are on their way.
"Alright." André said and I heard the sheets and blanket ruffle as he got up. "On my way." He said then we both hung up. I sighed, sat down and stared at the, almost foreign, piece of metal on the table as I waited for the others to get there. "I'm going to have to kill someone today."
Beck is ready for some action, so are you? Review and tell me what you think of my last three chapters (10-13) and also whose POV the next chapter should be in Beck (still), Tori, Jade, Andre, Robbie, or should I switch over to Cat for a little bit? since it's about to become all action for a while I might swith to 3rd person (Everyone's POV) unless they seperate or anything. Anyways, I'm going to put up poll now and when the story is finished to compare whose POV you liked being in. You have to vote in the poll for me to put up new chapters though. Can you do it? I think you guys can.
