The week went by fast. Cat and Tori were walking home Friday afternoon, taking their time to soak up the spring sun. As they were walking down a street they saw a car that looked familiar to them.
"Look its Beck!" Cat said as she skipped over to him.
His hood was propped up and he was checking the engine. He had heard a certain red head's laugh as he looked from his hood to see that it was indeed his friend Cat.
"Hey Cat, what's up?" Beck said as he went back to looking inside his car.
"Oh Tori and I were just walking home, talking about random stuff. You know my brother got stuck inside his car once. Maybe the car was hungry." Cat giggled as she swayed back and forth.
"Tori's with you?" That had caught his attention. He looked past her shoulder and saw Tori walk over to them, slowly.
Over the week Jade had pulled Tori into a closet and threatened her to stay away from Beck at all times. If she caught her staring, talking or even thinking about him Jade promised her that she would regret it.
Being scared was an understatement for Tori. She had obeyed Jade's wishes and stayed away from Beck, she would pretend not to notice all those worried glances he threw her at lunch and ignored every time he would greet her. Tori had an empty feeling whenever she wasn't around Beck; she thought she was just sad that she had to avoid a friend. She will never admit it to herself that she actually has feelings for him.
"Hello." Tori said lowly. Scared that Jade will come after her if she heard her.
"What's up? You've been avoiding me, lately." Beck said as he stood up straight.
Cat excused herself from the conversation and walked home by herself.
"I'm sorry. Its just, I'm stressed about the auditions. I haven't really talked to anyone." She felt bad for lying but she didn't want to get hurt.
Beck nodded not really believing her but she's never given him a reason not to believe in her.
"Want to give me a hand?" Beck said.
"I can't. I should really be heading home. My grandma-" Tori started to look for an excuse to leave. Truth is, her grandma would be coming later and she was going to go with her father to go pick her up.
"Please, I'll drive you home." Beck pouted.
She sighed and nodded. She couldn't turn down his adorable pout. She leaned into the car besides Beck, looking inside but not really knowing what was the problem and if there was a problem. Tori knew nothing about cars.
"So where's Jade?" Tori asked biting her lip, hoping he didn't come from dropping her off at her house before he got stranded here.
"Her dad picks her up on Friday's. Her parents try to bond with her over the weekend." Beck said like it was no big deal.
"I thought she was spending the weekend with you?" Tori asked as she watched Beck rub oil off a pipe thing.
"She couldn't get out of her parents plans, but I didn't mind. My parents don't really like her being around. She doesn't bring positivity, my mom says." Beck chuckled as he smudged some oil on Tori's nose as she scrunched her nose in disgust.
Tori grabbed some on her fingers and added some on Beck's check. She giggled as she added some on the other and he made a 'rawr' noise.
"I'm a ferocious lion!" Beck half yelled. He tackled her into the yard beside his car. She giggled as she tried to roll on top of him to pin him down. She got her top half on his as their faces were inches apart.
"Want to practice lines this weekend? Whenever you find time?" Beck said as he looked into her soft brown orbs. Her hair fell loosely around her face. A smile broke on her face as she nodded.
"I'd love to. Thanks." Tori said as she smiled down to Beck. They stayed in that position, just smiling and looking into each others eyes. Beck stopped smiling and looked down at her plump lips. Oh how he so badly wanted to kiss her. Jade was in the back of his mind.
She stopped smiling and looked at his full lips that were covered in a thin layered of chapstick.
As they leaned into each other they heard a car drive up the street and stopped abruptly. Tori got off of Beck and stood up.
She saw her father and mother looking at her with a disappointing look. She looked back at Beck with a sad smile and waved.
Beck looked at Tori, to her parents, he felt bad that such a beautiful girl was kept from having some fun. Her father looked at him like he was scum.
He drove away from Beck that Tori didn't get a chance to turn around and see him as they drove away.
"He's a bad boy, Victoria. I told you I didn't want you to hang around him." Tori's dad boomed from the front seat.
"David, calm down." Holly Vega tried to sooth her husband from his anger. Holly knew what Tori's friend was like. She was a teenage girl once.
"Honey, what your father is trying to say is that we both want the best for you. We don't think he is." Holly said from the front seat.
Tori sat there, silently letting her parents lecture her. She knew better than to stand up for herself.
"He lives in a damn RV outside his own house. God knows what goes in that RV. I don't want you near him outside of school, understood?" David said in a much softer voice as he parked into the drive way.
"Yes, daddy." Tori said as she got out of the car and walked inside.
As she entered her room she laid back onto her bed. They almost kissed. Again. If Jade found out she would be dead. Her iPhone vibrated against her school bag. She groaned as she got up to get it.
She had one from Cat, one from Andre, one from Beck and even one from Rex. Why Rex had his own phone was a mystery to everyone.
She answered Andre's first.
Hey Tor, I wrote a new song I want you to hear. And maybe be back up vocals? Please, please with a cheery on top? –Dre.
Sure! On Monday, at our usual place! Can't wait!- Tori
I'm pretty sure that was an awkward conversation. My brother ate a snail. I don't think he liked it. He looks a little green. Heheh. G2G! Another trip to the hospital.- Cat xx
Don't worry bout it Cat. Whatever the problem was, its fixed now. Oh boy, tell Charlie hi for me!- Tori xxo
Hey baby, what do you say? Me, you, sushi? Saturday night? ;) – REX
Ew. In your dreams.- Tori
I hope you're not in trouble from today. I hope you can still hang out over the weekend. I really want to practice our lines. Have you seen page 50? There's a kiss. First day kiss round 2? ;) jk, -Beck xx
Nah, I'll live. I think I can manage to sneak out over the weekend. Your place? And page 50 sounds like a good page to start practicing on. ;) –Tori xxx
She didn't mean to flirt back but he started it. Soon later her phone buzzed again.
I'm glad your not in trouble. Sneaking out is for bad kids, miss vega! Sure my place. Whenever is fine with me. And you would like to start with page 50. Does someone miss my kisses? –Beck xox
Tori smiled and even giggled a little bit as the butterflies wouldn't leave her stomach alone.
She was about to reply when her parents called her down so they can go pick up her grandparents from the airport.
'This weekend is going to be one to remember.' Tori said as she grabbed her phone and bag off the floor before making her way downstairs.
Trina was already in the car listening to her music obnoxiously loud. Her parents turned on the raido and it had a mix of some soft rock music to Latin music. She smiled as she thanked her parents for surrounding her in different types of genres of music.
She got her phone out and quickly typed in a responds to Beck.
I can be bad ;) I'll text you before I go over. And don't have a big head. You brought it up. :p –Tori oxxx
Beck stared at his phone with a big smile. His feelings for Jade have been slipping as he slowly falling for Tori. He loved Jade with all his might, but after two years of the same treatment Beck was in the mood for something new.
Tori had been avoiding Beck all week long. He thought he had done something wrong but he tried to focus on Jade. He somehow always went back to Tori. Jade got mad at him for not paying attention and blamed his distance on Tori.
He doesn't know how much longer he can go without slipping and making Jade mad and accuse him of something he will never do.
Beck isn't a cheater. He's just in a complicated spot. He laid back and thought about the pros and cons. He sat upright so fast that the blood was rushing so fast it made him dizzy.
On Monday, he was going to do something unexpecting.
Read and Review! I love you all!
