Tori's POV

The heat beat down on me from the sun above, it was surprisingly hot for 4:30pm in the afternoon. I walked up to Beck's RV, the Silver Streak, pressing the door bell and standing there idly for a few seconds. A thousand thoughts ran through my mind at once: what would me and Beck do round his? Did he feel better a bit better about the Jade situation today? Would he…forget about her while hanging out with me?

Beck opened the door, cutting off my increasingly weird thoughts. I shook my head and smiled.

"Hey Tori" Beck smiled, gesturing inside, stepping back from the door to let me in.

I entered the RV, looking around as if had never been here before. Truthfully, I never really went round to Beck's that much, but that was because Jade was either there or Beck was busy. But I did visit, I made the most of it. Beck closed the door behind him and flopped down on his couch, exhaling in huff.

"Sit" He smiled again, shifting to let me sit next to him. "I have marshmallows"

He wiggled his eyebrows and I chuckled warmly as he grabbed the bag of sweets from by his feet and ripped open the packet. He offered me one and I popped it into my mouth with a grateful smile.

"Th-ks" I tried to say through the sticky treat.

Beck laughed softly, eating a pink mallow himself.

"I have an idea!" I said enthusiastically, after swallowing the marshmallow "Let's play fluffy bunnies!"

"What's that?" Beck asked quizzically.

I raised my eyebrows "You don't know fluffy bunnies? Well, you put a marshmallow in your mouth one at a time and say fluffy bunnies after each marshmallow, the person who can still say it with the most in their mouth wins!"

Beck nodded with a competitive grin and grabbed his first marshmallow, holding it up, challenging me. I narrowed my eyes with a grin and grabbed mine.

"Go!"

"Wuffy b-nnies!" I choked.

I chewed and swallowed the 12 marshmallows in my mouth and burst out laughing as Beck spat half of his back in the bag and threw it in the bin. He laughed along with me, laying his hand on my knee to steady him. I ignored the warmth of his hand against my skin.

"That was fun…" I wheezed, eventually calming down.

"It was, great idea" Beck chuckled pulling his hand away.

I watched it slide off my leg and wished he'd just left it there. Then I shook the idea out of my head.

"So what do you want to do now?" Beck leant back, hands behind his head.

"Erm, I dunno, we could talk for a bit…" I suggested leaning back as well.

Beck shrugged and sat up with a small smile "What do you want to talk about?"

Anything but Jade…I thought selfishly.

"Up to you" I said.

Beck and I started a conversation on school and Sikowitz's latest accessory which appeared to be a black budgie on a keychain along with other strange objects like a plastic snake and a party cracker whistle. I didn't take my eyes off him as we laughed and talked lightly, enjoying this time we had together. I analysed the cool, soft chocolate brown of his eyes and felt a wistful feeling in the pit of my stomach.

"Tori?"

Beck waved his hand in front of my face and laughed. I blinked a few times, pulled back from my daydream like I was springing back on elastic.

"Oh sorry I was just…" I giggled before looking back at him.

Beck was watching me, it looked as if he was trying to figure out what I was thinking. I found it sweet, intriguing, inviting…

I looked at his olive skin and into his brown eyes. I focused on his full, soft lips. I felt an overwhelming sensation in my heart and I felt myself lean forward, my eyes half open. What was I doing…

But Beck was looking back at me and he was leaning towards me, cautiously… I closed my eyes and…Beck pulled away. He ran a hand through his hair and sat back again, not looking at me, embarrassed. I coughed slightly and sat there awkwardly.

"I- may-, maybe…I should go it's nearly six and my mom wants me to help her…" I stood up, trying to sound as if I wasn't about to cry with embarrassment and guilt for putting him in such an awkward situation.

"Yeah…yeah, I'll see you at school Tori" Beck led me to the door and opened it for me. "Come back anytime"

Beck smiled at me as I left, but as soon as he closed the door I sped up, a tear rolling down my cheek.

I sat in my bedroom, pleading to the ceiling for Cat to pick up her phone. I breathed a sigh of relief as she squealed down the phone.

"Hey Tori! I just got this…"

"Cat…" I said in a quiet voice as I held back the tears of confusion and worry "I need to talk to you…"

Hearing me trying to hold back the water works, Cat's tone instantly changed.

"Oh my god Tori, is something wrong?" Cat questioned, concerned.

"No, nothings wrong…Well yeah…there is with me" I explained reluctantly.

I didn't really feel like discussing this right now but I needed someone to give me advice and understand me. And there was no one better than Cat. Even if she had posted that picture.

"Tori, what's wrong? You can tell me…" Cat asked.

I felt her sympathetic smile through her voice and felt my heart sink without explanation.

"I almost kissed Beck…"

There was a silence at the end of the phone.

"I almost kissed him…" I repeated, waiting impatiently for an answer.

"Seriously? How was it! I be-"

"Cat I almost kissed him…he pulled away and then I left. I don't what to do. I've never felt like this about him before and it…it hurts" I sniffed.

"Okay, right…Do you want me to talk to him?" Cat offered, sweetly.

I smiled and then sighed resentfully.

"No, I don't want him to know…" I said flatly, "Because he probably doesn't feel the same way…"

"Okay" Cat honoured my decision and I could feel her smile again through her voice.

I sighed roughly.

Beck's POV

I went to sleep early thinking, Why didn't I kiss her? What is holding me back…
