Chapter 15

"Suddenly I can see what I didn't before, and I don't care what they say anymore. 'Cause I'm falling, falling. Finally falling, falling!"

Beck stirred in his sleep a little upon hearing an indistinguishable noise.

"Suddenly I can see what I didn't before, and I don't care what they say anymore. 'Cause I'm falling, falling. Finally falling, falling!"

"What the hell?" He grumbled as he heard the noise again, wiping his eyes. As it faded away, he sighed and turned over to fall back asleep.

"Suddenly I can see what I didn't before, and I don't care what they say anymore. 'Cause I'm falling, falling. Finally falling, falling!"

"Seriously?" He asked aloud and opened his eyes as he realized that the noise was in fact a song—the song he and Tori sang together in the musical. Isn't that Tori's ringtone, though? He absently thinks, but the thought just grazes over his sleep-filled brain as his eyes droop shut once more.

Suddenly, he feels movement on his right side. "What the fuck?" He says, as his heart jumps into his throat and his eyes shoot open to look next to him.

He sees Tori, her eyes opening wide as she was startled by his exclamation. She then saw him staring at her and let out a little scream of surprise.

They collect their bearings and she speaks. "Don't scream like that! You scared the crap out of me!" She says.

"Sorry," He says, but then laughs aloud. "It was funny though. You should have seen your face!" He then proceeds to laugh his ass off.

"Me? You got scared too!" She grins.

"I did not." He claims as he tries to stop chuckling.

"Yeah you did." She says and smiles brightly.

His words die in his throat as he looks into her deep, brown eyes. He takes a moment to take in her tanned skin, the elegant structure of her face, her sweet smile. It strikes him through the core, just how lucky he is to be laying with her at that moment. He feels elated. And then everything from yesterday comes back to him, and he realizes, she's his. Well, not like he owns her, but more like… he has her. He finally has her.

"What?" She asks, and he realizes he was staring. And grinning. That might be creepy.

"Just… you." He says, and leans forward to pick up where they left off the previous night, when—

"Suddenly I can see what I didn't before, and I don't care what they say anymore. 'Cause I'm falling, falling. Finally falling, falling!"

"My phone! Oh my gosh, I'm in so much trouble!" She exclaims and shoots up in the small bed to look for the ringing device. She scrambles around the bed, as he just lays there. "Wow, thanks for the help," She tells him and rolls her eyes as he smirks and lays back with his hands behind his head. As he does, his hands touch something under his pillow. He pulls it out, to see it's the MIA PearPhone in question. That's why it was so loud. He thinks.

"Hey, look," He says, and holds it up. She looks up from the foot of the bed where she was searching through the crumpled up comforter.

"Yes!" She exclaims, and crawls up to reach for it, but he decides to be funny and holds it over his head. "Beck!" She says, exasperated. She stretches up for the phone a little too far, and ends up falling on top of him. "Oh!" She squeaks from the impact and he's too stunned to be evil anymore, so he innocently hands it to her.

She smiles down at him. "Sorry," She says a little sheepishly.

"Oh, no. It's not a problem," He smirks, as he regained his composure.

She giggles, as her phone goes off again. "Okay, now shut up, it's my mom." She clears her throat and answers the phone in a neutral tone. "Hey, Mom."

"No, I'm fine. I'm sorry I didn't check in last night I—" She pauses and Beck hears a voice at the other end talking in very urgent tones. "No, Mom, listen, I forgot to call last night," She says. "I was at Cat's house. We hung out after school and went to a movie, and then afterwards we bowled with everybody… who's everybody? Uh, Andre, Robbie, Cat, me, Jade and Beck." At the mention of his name, he smiles and starts playing with her hair. "I told you! I was busy the whole night and I didn't get back to Cat's until late, and I didn't want to wake you up by calling." She lies smoothly and he hears the muted voice of her mom lecturing her, even though he can't make out the words. He stops playing with her hair and runs his fingers up her sides, over the fabric of her shirt. She swallows and furrows her brow at him. He smiles devilishly and moves his hands to the skin on the small of her back, where her shirt had ridden up. He draws little circles with his fingers, his touch feather light. She sighs happily and closes her eyes as she tries to focus on the conversation with her mother.

"Yes, I know it was irresponsible not to call you. I'm really sorry—" She stopped again, as he moved his hands under her shirt, slowly, tantalizingly trailing up her sides. He feels her breathing change above him, and she makes agreeable noises to her mother as she tries to keep quiet and under control.

He pauses his ministrations as his fingers brush against the side of her bra. "Yeah, Mom, I understand…" She stills and he stays brave. Lightly, almost imperceptibly, he runs a finger over the outer edges of her bra on her chest. "I-" Her voice shakes, and she bites her lip, and it's the hottest thing he's ever seen. "No, nothing, Mom, I'm okay." He silently chuckles. "Right now? Yeah I'm at Cat's house … we just woke up." She opens her eyes and looks at him as he laughs.

"I don't know, I'll be home later… love you too… okay. I'm sorry again. Okay, okay bye." She hangs up the phone and throws it behind her on the bed. "You are… a terrible person," She whispers.

"Terrible, huh?" He teases.

"I was talking to my mom! What if she like, heard you or something?" Her breath hitches as his hands, stilled under shirt, started tracing lines on her skin again.

"That's what makes it fun," he winked at her. "Watching you start to unravel is... quite an experience."

He slid his hands out and placed them on her hips. "Well you're not going to watch it happen completely. At least, not now." She smiles, but then rolls off of him to lay next to him. They both stare up at the trailer ceiling.

"So…" She says. "Last night…"

"Was…?" He trails off, unsure of what she was going to say.

"Dramatic. And then the later part was fun." She laughs.

"Which part?" He knows exactly what part of the night she's referring to, when they had… intimate relations—he just wants to hear her say it. They didn't have sex, but still it wasn't something she'd want her mother to know about.

"You know… when we…" She seems nervous all of a sudden.

"When we what?" He smirked.

"When we… gosh, Beck don't be stubborn. You know what I mean." She sighs.

They're quiet for a while after that.

"I should probably get ready to go." She says finally, but contradictory to her words she reached for his hand, and locked their fingers together.

He says nothing.

Neither of them moved, content to just lay there forever.

Yeah, she was his. And Beck was determined to keep it that way.


A/N: Happy New Year !

Where do I begin ? First off, I am so sorry I haven't posted in... shit I haven't posted in like almost 2 months. Wooooooow. I won't sit here and try to make up a thousand excuses, because I know how it is to wait for an update, except for I have to stress to you that school has been hectic. The last few weeks of the semester are pretty much crunch time. Plus, I am at the peak of my season, so I wasn't able to find the time to post since early November. But, I am off school now, but I go back in like 2 days... so I guess that doesn't help.

Anywaysss , I am completely out of prewritten chapters. I mean I have been out since last chapter, but now I feel like I hit a brickwall. I only have a few wisps of ideas that I could toy around with, so this story might be winding to a close in a few chapters.

In regards to this chapter, I am not happy with it. I have been working on it all day, because I had some free time. But they're together now, and they're adjusting to being a couple, and soon they're gonna feel the pressures of keeping it from everybody. Oh and I'm pretty certain this story will stay a T-rating, although its starting to feature some more thematic elements. Although, if something happens that is extremely provocative I might have it as an M- outtake . So, look for those; I'll let you know.

Lmao oh and I reread this story a few times and wow... kind of embarrassing how much your writing can change. Don't judge me c:

SO BASICALLY: I'm sorry for the wait, and I'm sorry this chapter isn't up to par.I promise I will update when I can.

Love you all, reviews are great, and thanks for those who've been putting this on alert and the like

*OH and if anyone has any ideas or comments or anything they want to share with me for this story, please don't hesitate to PM me !

alright, staycool(:
