Thank you for your reviews! You guys are so nice! Here is chapter 13 I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious.
Tori entered Hollywood Arts through the front doors and left her eyes skim the place, searching for familiar faces. There was no sign of her friends on the parking lot and even though she was happy that she hadn't come across Jade or Andre, she still couldn't understand where they have all gone.
Where could they possibly be?
Just as that though crossed her mind, she caught sight of Beck making his way through the students and heading for the stairs. Not sparing time, Tori called out his name and started walking towards him. She wanted to talk to him about his outburst at Noshu. The one that had left her there with two lovey dovey couples! She would have been really upset, had she not suspected what he was going through.
"Beck, wait up!" she called again, managing to grab a hold of his jacket, spinning him around to face her.
"Hey." He greeted, his voice worn out, tired. Tori was positive that he had heard her calling him, but didn't want to talk just by the way he kept looking at the hallway.
"Um…look. I wanted to talk to you about yesterday…" she started, looking at the ground.
"What do you mean?" Beck asked with confused eyes, but Tori could see right through him for once.
"Don't play dumb with me Beck!" she raised her eyebrows at him, but he avoided her gaze.
"I am really not going to talk about this here….Maybe-" he didn't get to finish that sentence, since Tori caught him by surprise, dragging him inside the bathroom. The girl's one at that.
"Tori!" he protested but she just closed the door and stood against it glaring at him.
"Speak" she demanded. Tori knew that she was not being fair since he was not the only one who had to make confessions but managed to pull a serious face.
Beck leaned against the tile wall, running a hand through his hair.
"I don't think I need to. It is pretty damn obvious, isn't I? They are breaking me…" he whispered and Tori made to approach him, but he waved his hand dismissively. "And don't ask me to whom I am referring to."
"I can see the way you look at them as well…" he added, causing Tori to lower her eyes. 'This is not right! It hurts so much and there is nothing I can do about it. They look so damn happy together it makes me sick! And you know what the worst part is? I am the one who practically caused this!" Beck said his voice desperate.
"It is not your fault." Tori protested but Beck simply rolled his eyes bitterly.
"I am the one who let her go"
Tori had nothing to say to that.
"I think it is about time I actually do." He whispered.
"What do you mean?" Tori asked, confused. "You can't just erase your feelings for someone." She would know all about it. An image of Andre crossed her mind and she closed her eyes tightly, before opening them again to face Beck, her mind a bit more focused.
"I will have to try." He replied, his eyes glued to the ground, not allowing Tori to see the hurt in them. It didn't matter. She could still hear it.
"Maybe you should as well." He added, before storming off the door, getting a few questioning glances from the girls in the hallway.
Tori was about to run after him, but was stopped by Cat standing in the way.
"Was that Beck leaving the girl's bathroom?" she asked, stiffing a giggle.
Tori sighed, having lost sight of the boy and turned to face Cat. "Yes. It is not funny. He is really upset about the whole Andre- Jade thing." Cat turned serious immediately.
"What do you mean?" she asked, her eyes curious, yet sad at the same time.
"I mean what I just said. This situation is getting to him. I have never seen him like this."
It was true. The three or so years that Tori had known Beck, he would always be calm, collected, keeping his emotions in check. And now here he was, breaking down.
He was about to give up and Tori wondered if he was right about telling her to do the same. Maybe that would keep the hurt away.
"What did he say?" asked Cat. She was getting worried. It looked like this was serious. She really hoped that Beck had decided to try to get back together with Jade. That would mean that the lies would finally come to an end.
"He said that he thinks it is best if he forgets about Jade. He thinks that I should do the same with Andre" Tori filled her in. Cat's horrified expression was something that she had not been expecting though. The red head looked as if she had just been informed that the world was about to end.
"What?!" she shrieked, while starting to pace up and down, rambling uncontrollably. Tori managed to understand some of it.
"Oh my god…..horrible ….poor Beck…you…not how this was supposed to turn out…Jade…oh my god….the plan…so bad" Cat kept on going and was brought to reality after what could be described as a mini panic attack by Tori grabbing her shoulders and forcing Cat to face her.
"What are you talking about?" Tori demanded, confused.
Cat covered her mouth with her hands and looked around, obviously searching for a way to get out of this. It was not going to work. Tori was determined to find out what plan her friend was going on about.
"What do you mean plan?" she asked and could see that Cat was fidgeting nervously by now, her eyes glued to the ground.
"I don't know what you are talking about…" she murmured. What was up with people these days?!
"Yes you do. Now tell me!" Tori insisted, lacing her voice with authority. She sounded so bossy. Much like Jade. Everyone knew that Cat couldn't handle pressure.
"I am not supposed to!" she shouted and then clapped her hands over her mouth once again, a terrified expression gracing her face.
"Ha!" Tori jumped up and down. "Spill it!" she pushed harder. "You have to tell me! Especially if it involves me!" she shouted, raising her hands up in the air in exasperation.
Cat squirmed under her intense glare.
"Fine!" she exclaimed.
"Jade and Andre are not really dating!"
"What are you talking about?" Tori asked cautiously, even though her heart was going crazy. Was Cat telling the truth? No, she couldn't be…
"This whole thing has been fake from the start. They wanted to get a reaction out of you and Beck!" Cat went on.
Tori was dumbfounded. Eyes and mouth wide open. She was speechless.
Maybe Cat really was telling the truth. Andre is not dating Jade. Andre is not dating Jade. Andre is not dating Jade.
"Andre wants you, but you hadn't realized."
No one could possibly describe what was going on in Tori's mind in that particular moment but it was certainly crazy.
"He-he l-likes me? She stammered, still not able to form full sentences in her head.
Cat smiled slightly. "Yes."
"I can't believe they would do that!" she exclaimed, a part of her happiness turned into anger, She was hurting really bad and Andre and Jade were waiting for a freaking reaction.
"It is so mean. Both me and Beck have been a mess!" She was really upset over this.
"Beck hasn't broken yet." Cat whispered, looking at the ground.
"Have you taken a look at him? He is about to give up on the girl that he loves, because he thinks that she is happy with her new boyfriend. He blames himself for his misery. Jade really hurt him." Tori sighed.
"What about her? Beck had hurt her as well!" Cat protested and Tori closed her mouth keeping herself from going on. Cat was right to a certain extend at least.
Still, Tori could not comprehend the situation. She was angry and unbelievably relieved at the same time.
"He cares about you, you know…Andre…" Cat said, causing Tori to smile slightly.
"Don't give him a hard time."
"I won't. Not as much as he's given me anyway." Tori replied smirking.
Cat's eyes widened and she groaned.
Please make them sort this out soon. This is getting out of hand.
Most of you came to the conclusion that neither Beck nor Tori were going to find out…I never said that, did I? The majority of the people who reviewed didn't want Beck to find out but wanted Tori to, so this is what happened.
Is Beck really going to give up on Jade?
What will Tori do now that she knows?
Thoughts? Tell me whether you liked this chapter or not! Leave a review!
Ps. Opposite date had me fuming. I really hope that this doesn't mean that Beck and Tori will start dating. I don't get why Jade is always the one getting hurt…And Beck, seriously? "She is the one who walked out on me." I wanted to slap him through my computer. I want to see Beck begging her to get back together with him. Some tears would also be nice…just saying…: p
