BECK POV
I felt a mixture of emotions after Tori fled from the room. Anger, guilt, sorrow, pain, but perhaps the worst one I felt was pure happiness. I was happy. Happy about screwing my friendship up with Tori for one night of pleasure, I threw everything I had worked for out the window for a few minutes of ecstasy. It was like when you study so hard for exams and the night before your last one you go to a party and get drunk, then proceed to fail the exam as you were still feeling the effects of the night before.
I had spent months developing a close-knit relationship with Tori, ever so slightly nudging her into the direction I wanted to land up. It had been hard at first after I broke up with Jade, Tori and I had been friends whilst Jade and I were together, but had never been too close. To say Tori was hesitant at first was an understatement. I remember the first night I showed up at her house, and the shocked expression she wore when she open the door to find me holding a bag of chips and two movies. After about two straight weeks spent on Tori's couch I persuaded her to go and grab a smoothie with me and the gang, and that's the night she finally felt truly comfortable with me. When I dropped her off at home, she surprised me by telling me how much she enjoyed spending time together, and from that night on we were practically inseparable. At first it was all about being Tori's friend, but then I started to develop feelings for her and I was so confused by it all, I landed up on Andre's doorstep and we talked it out and devised a cunning plan for me to win her heart.
And now I found myself in a very similar position as I did months before, standing outside of Andre's window at eight in the morning. Except it was raining softly and I was throwing pebbles at his window like all those dudes do in those overly-cheesy romantic movies Tori forced me to watch.
I growled in frustration as I threw a particularly large pebble at Andre's window. I waited for a moment before finding a rock and was just about to launch it in the air as his head popped out from his window.
"Beck! What the hell?" He whisper-screamed clearly annoyed.
"I need to talk to you!"
"What the chizz man! This couldn't have waited until later?"
"No! It's urgent!" I yelled back.
"Please tell me you're not here to confess your love to me!"
My face scrunched up at his weird question, "What! No! I did something stupid! Something really, really stupid!"
He sighed, "Alright man, come to the back door." Andre disappeared and I made my way to his back door.
I waited for him to open for me, and when he did he yelled at me for waking him up so early before he invited me in.
Andre set down two cups of hot chocolate on the table in front of me before sitting down. He picked up his mug and took a sip, before speaking.
"Okay what did you do?"
I grabbed my cup, feeling the warmth flow through my hands. I took a look around the kitchen and noticed a few pictures of the gang on the walls, but one picture caught my attention. It was one of just me and Tori, her arm was slung around my waist and mine across her shoulders. I took a sip, and the scalding hot liquid burnt my tongue and caused me to jolt awake.
"Why is there a picture of just me and Tori?" I asked, trying to divert his question.
Andre followed my gaze and a small smile spread across his lips, "Because I like that photo. It was after your breakup with Jade and during you semi-depressed state. At the time she was the only one that could make you smile. We all have one; it sort of helps us remember how to fix you, because we don't want a repeat of depressed Beck. Just one helping of Tori smiles and you're good to go. Now answer my question. What did you do?"
Did Tori really have that effect on me? I took a deep breath. "I slept with Tori."
There was yelling and then a slap to the head, followed by more yelling and then some strange scream.
"Beck! Of all the stupid things you do! Why would you do something like that!" He was pacing now, back and forth whilst making erratic hand gestures.
I sighed, "She asked, I complied."
Andre glared at me, "You couldn't just have said no!"
"I did! But then she gave me that look- the look that even you can't resist- and I took my chance, I, it was a bad thing I know. Now I've gone and messed it all up!"
"Darn Tori and her puppy dog eyes! Dude, Tori doesn't get drunk that easily, so a part of her must have wanted to or else she wouldn't have begged."
"Yeah, but still she had just broken up with Damien! Our relationship will never be the same! What am I gonna do!" I asked my friend as I placed my head in my hands.
"Beck," Andre placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder, "what you did is by far the most stupid thing you've ever done. But you'll fix it.
I looked up at him skeptically, "How?"
He smiled, "Whether or not Tori knows it, she loves you. She's just afraid of messing up what she has with you."
"Like I did."
"Yep, like you did. But she just broke up with her boyfriend and she'll come running to her best friend sooner or later. And I hate to admit it, that title is no longer mine, it's yours."
"But-"
He cut me off, "But nothing. Just be there for her. Let her forgive you. Hold her while she cries, and help her. Let her pick up the pieces and just go with it. Then when she is fixed, you can make you move."
I nodded my head. Andre was right; all I needed to do was be there for her and avoid doing stupid things. Easy enough right?
