"There's nothing I can do, I just gravitate towards you, you're pulling on me like the moon" (The Cab – La La)

Beck looked over at the city from his hotel room balcony, he did adore Los Angeles. But a part of him missed London a lot. Maybe it was because that's where he had lived for so long. He took a sip of water from his glass and sighed. It was 7am in the morning and he'd just gotten a phone call that could change his life. He had no clue what he was going to do.

- flashback to ten minutes earlier -

His phone rang and he grabbed it quickly, answering with a quiet "Hello" before making his way out to the balcony. He closed the door as the person calling spoke.
"Beck! It's your favorite person in the world, your agent, Lucas!"
Beck was surprised he'd called, he'd felt like his agent had given up on him a bit since the show in England was cancelled. Not that it was Beck's fault in any way, but his agent seemed to have lost interest in him.
"Hey man, what's up?"
"I know it's really early and sorry about that but I have great news!"
"Yeah?"
"How much do you want a recurring role on one of the biggest tv shows right now?"
"More than anything" Beck replied, not even hesitating.
"That's what I thought! Anyway, listen to this! You've been offered a recurring role for at least a whole season, which consists of like 20 episodes, in the award winning crime show Brighton Murders!"
Beck felt himself go numb. That show was massive, it was one of the biggest shows in the world when it came to crime shows. It has been on air for more than 10 years and was broadcasted all over the world. Everyone loved it. And they wanted him. There was only one problem. It was recorded in Brighton, in England. It meant he had to move back...
"Beck, are you still there?!" His agent shouted, making Beck snap out of his thoughts.
"Yeah yeah, I'm just kinda shocked"
"You're not the only one! But isn't it amazing?! They want you! What do you say? It's a yes right?"
Beck hesitated. He couldn't possibly give Lucas a straight answer right now. Not after what happened last night.
"I uh, I need like a while to think about it"
He heard Lucas sigh before saying "What the hell Beck? This is a huge opportunity man! But alright, I'll give you an hour."
He ended the call and Beck sighed.

He panicked just thinking about it. What the hell was he going to do? There was no way he could leave Los Angeles now. Or could he? He turned around and looked at the hotel room, at the huge bed where Tori was still asleep. Last night had been amazing, it had turned out better than he could've ever imagined. They'd gotten pretty drunk at the party and then shared a cab to Beck's hotel, where the plan was to get a drink and talk. However there had basically been no talking and definitely no drinking. There had been kissing and touching and just... It was perfect. They'd slept together, something Beck has fantasized about for a long time. It had been better than he could've ever imagined. He wanted to be with her all the time. But he had to have a job, he had to have a career. He knew how hard it was to make it in Los Angeles, well in the entire US. He sighed. What the hell was he going to do.

"Come feel my heart, it's beating like a drum and I confess; when you're around it's like an army's marching through my chest." (The Cab – La La)

Tori woke up feeling a bit confused about where she was. She looked around herself and when she saw the balcony and the silhouette of a guy, she remembered where she was. She was in Beck's hotel room. She smiled. Last night had been perfect, way more perfect than she could have ever imagined. The fact that he felt exactly she like did made her so happy. It had surprised her when he had told her, but it was like a dream. He'd thought about her every day since that night at the party, just like she had thought about him. It was like they were made for each other. She rolled her eyes. Made for each other? What were they? Kids? In a Disney story? No one were made for each other, but they were... god she didn't know, they just worked so well together and they felt the same way about each other and they'd found each other again after such a long time apart. Tori didn't believe in faith or destiny, but this made her think that maybe it was faith that had brought them together again. She'd rather credit faith for her and Beck hooking up, than Sinjin who'd organized the party. She got out of bed and pulled on one of Beck's shirts and walked towards the balcony. She knocked on the door carefully, because she didn't wanna disturb him. He turned around and smiled. She took that as a sign of approval, so she opened the door and walked out. It was warm outside and it was a lovely morning. She sat down on a chair on the balcony and looked at Beck.
"So..." She said, "what are you doing out here? Enjoying the view?"
He looked at her and smiled, "I have a better view now"
She felt herself blush and smiled. Beck laughed and said, "But in all honesty, I went out her because my agent called and offered me a part in a TV show."
"Beck, that's amazing!" Tori exclaimed, feeling really happy for him. This was just what he needed after his show in the UK getting cancelled, and he'd been so upset about that last night when Sinjin had brought it up.
"Yeah no it's a great part in an award winning show, it's a dream for me to be offered a part there, but it's just.." He looked down on his feet and sighed.
"What's wrong Beck?" She looked at him, worrying about what he might say.
"It's recorded in England."
Tori felt herself go numb. Not again. She didn't even know what to do. She quickly stood up, getting ready to walk inside and leave Beck alone. She didn't want this to be a reprise of last time, she didn't want him to leave her because of England again. She opened the door to the room but she felt Beck's hand clasp her arm.
"Tori, wait."
"Wait for what?!" She said angrily, not wanting to hear him explain how important his career was to him and that he had to take this job.
"I... This is an amazing opportunity. And it could help my career a lot." He sighed, as if he was dreading what he was going to say. "But I... I'm not taking it."
"What?" She said, stunned.
He looked at her and said "I can't leave you again. Not after last time. For three years I couldn't stop thinking about you and I felt like I made the biggest mistake of my life. I kept thinking what it would be like if I'd stayed and this time I'm not leaving."
She just stared at him, because she didn't know what to say.
"But... But why?"
"Because... Because I think I'm in love with you"
He looked at her and she didn't know what to do.

Beck looked at her and she looked so confused, like she couldn't take in what he'd said. He took her hand and she smiled. He pulled her down onto his lap and put his arms around her, hugging her tightly. He never wanted to let go.

She never wanted him to let go. She nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck and mumbled, "I'm so glad you're staying"
"Me too Tori, me too."

He hesitated, before saying those three words he'd always wanted to tell her. "I love you."

She felt her heart beat faster and faster. She look into his eyes and said "I love you too. I always have"

He kissed her and he wanted that moment to last forever.

"What would you do if I told you that I la, la, la, la, loved you? Do if I said it tonight?" (The Cab – La La)
