It had been two weeks since my 'little' incident with Beck, and I had successfully managed to avoid him. At first he left a dozen voicemails on my phone, and sent me over a hundred texts all saying similar things like 'Hey, can we talk' or 'We need to fix this'. I was angry at him for taking away something so important to me, I mean, and what the hell was he thinking? Thank heavens I wasn't pregnant, because if I was, I would have strangled him with the cord of my straightening iron. Dramatic? I know, but I couldn't just let him get off scot-free, if I was feeling that way, then so should he. He broke the trust I put in him, and I would never forgive him.
Well that's how I had felt at first, until I had a very revealing dream last night, and the events of my night with Beck came flooding back, in a hot, sticky mess. I couldn't remember it all, but I do remember me begging him, and his refusal followed by more of my begging. I didn't just remember the parts where I was an idiot, and he was a perfect gentleman, I remembered how amazing I felt during the whole thing and how soft and gentle he was. Of course then I replayed the scene between us the morning after, me shouting and accusing without allowing him to get a word in.
I was really horrible to him, and I don't blame him if he never wants to talk to me again. But that wasn't Beck, if didn't want to sort this mess out, then he wouldn't have called me so many times. I needed to apologize and fix this. Also I needed my best friend, I had attempted calling Damien, but he kept ignoring my calls and it made my heartbreak a little bit more each time. If I felt that way because Damien was ignoring me, then Beck must be feeling that way because I was ignoring him.
Beck had been an amazing friend to me this past year, helping me up when I fell, willing to give advice on any matter and he once, after much persuasion, went to buy me certain 'lady' products at the local store. What sane guy does that for his friend! I owed him an apology, a very big one.
With all these thoughts running through my head at three in the morning I couldn't sleep. I lay in my bed, staring at the celling for a good twenty minutes before I got out of bed and threw on one of Becks' hoodies he left at my house, pulled on some sneakers, grabbed my phone and snuck out of my room and down the stairs. I was just about to open the front door, when I heard someone coming down the stairs, I panicked and dove to the floor. The sound of footsteps stopped for a moment, then started again. The person opened the fridge, making light spill across the room. I let out a sigh of relief, the person was Trina. I got up slowly and attempted to slide out of the house when her voice stopped me.
"Tori?" she asked in a sleepy voice and she rubbed her eyes and squinted at me. "Where are you going?"
I turned to face her, "Trina I need to go and talk to Beck. Please don't tell mom or dad." I begged.
She nodded and went up the stairs, "I won't." was all I heard.
I took the opportunity and walked out, closing the door behind me. I breathed in the cold night air and admired the eerie silence, thinking about how Beck and I would wake up round about this time and meet at the park in between our house and talk until the sun rose. We'd just sit there and watch it rise together, then go our separate ways without saying a word.
I shook the memory off and made a mad dash down the street, then turned left at the stop sign and continued until I ran past the park. I stopped and turned right and ran a little way more until I could see Becks RV glinting in the light of the street lamp. I walked up to his door and rapped my knuckles on the cool metal. I waited for a moment, but heard nothing.
"I guess nobody's here. Time to go." I started walking away, content with the fact that if he asked I could say I tried.
I was almost down the driveway when I heard a squeak slip into the silent night. A moment later I heard a voice than stopped me in my tracks. "Tori?" he asked slightly confused.
I tried my best to push down the wave of guilt that was sweeping over me. I took in a shaky breath and allowed a lone tear to slip out the corner of my eye and make its way down my face until I could taste the salty liquid. I stood, rooted to the spot unable to move my legs. "I-" I tried saying but I was cut off by a set of warm arms snaking around my back and a pair of hands locking together just below my stomach. I felt him pull me closer and burry his head in my neck. He removed his head from my neck and moved his mouth to my ear.
"I've missed you Tori. I'm so sorry for what I did."
I turned around in his embrace to face him, then I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into a bear hug. We just stood there for a good couple of moments, warmth and forgiveness wrapping around us in a soft blanket. I pulled back reluctantly, took one look into his brown eyes, muttered and incoherent 'sorry' and the tears started flowing.
To say that Beck was surprised was an understatement. I never cry in front of him, I'm usually a tough cookie, but just seeing how much I had hurt him made me want to cry for hours. At first he just stood there shocked, then he started rubbing my back, and stroking my hair. After he realized that wasn't going to work, he picked me up ,carried me inside and plopped me onto his bed. He then left for a few moments, which made me cry harder. But he soon returned and handed me a cup of hot chocolate. I calmed a bit, by sniffles and sobs still ripped through my body.
I used the sleeve of my hoodie to wipe under my eyes. I looked at the sleeve and frowned at the black mark, I probably hadn't cleaned my makeup off properly.
After about two more minutes I calmed enough to mutter another sorry.
"Hey, its okay." Beck said while rubbing my leg soothingly.
"Its not-" sniffle, "okay, I" sniffle "I hurt you, and," sob, "Damien, and I ruined what we have."
Beck wiped off the tears that were dripping down my face. "Shhhh. It'll be alright. I forgive you."
I shook my head, "How can you forgive me! I accused you of taking advantage of me, when I practically went on my hands and knees begging for you to sleep with me!"
A light blush clouded his feature, "So, you um, remember?"
I felt myself blush as I looked down at my mug and steaming hot chocolate. "Yeah. Look I'm sorry the way I acted, I didn't mean to sound desperate or…"
He cut me off, "Look Tori, we were both wrong okay? We did a stupid thing, let's just put it behind us."
I looked up into his eyes, and saw his hair was messy from sleeping. "You'd do that for me? Forgive me and move on?" I asked amazed.
He nodded and took a sip of his hot chocolate.
"Why?"
He stopped drinking and looked at me as if I should know the answer to that question. "Because, you're my best friend and I don't want to loose you."
I raised my hand and cupped his face, then ever so slowly ,giving him the chance to pull away, I kissed his cheek. "Thank you Beck."
"Anything for you Tori."
"We do some pretty stupid things huh?"
"Yep we do."
"No weirdness?"
"No weirdness."
I smiled at him, put down my cup and gave him another bear hug. We sat and laughed and talked for hours. We even made plans to go to Andre's cousins' party later tonight. And just when I was about to leave, Beck cocked his head to one side and asked, "Hey! Isn't that my hoodie?"
I smiled innocently, "No! Its mine!" then I took off before he realized it was in fact his. Maybe, just maybe we could fix our friendship and stop doing stupid things.
Silly Tori! The stupid things they do are just beginning!
So this chapter was to show what lengths Beck is willing to go to so he can win Tori's heart. Tori and Beck will start doing their stupid things again next chapter which should be up soon, because I have a long weekend now. South Africa is celebrating 18 years of freedom, yay us! Anyway please read and review!
