So I changed this a bit because I had divine inspiration, I would suggest reading it over again to refresh your memory because the chapters after this are more so written to work taking in to consideration that you read this chapter so don't be confused. Also I am SO SO SO sorry for not writing more sooner but hey I have an excuse, I was busy directing my first play. Needless to say that was an amazing experience but now back to this, well until I get a job and start school again, but that bridge will be crossed when it comes. This story is on the top of my priorities list(kinda). ell enough about me, go on read!
"Maybe we shouldn't do this." Tori halfheartedly protested, as Beck worked down her neck kissing a wet trail of soft bite marks.
He stopped and looked up at her, he shifted his weight so that he was now laying on his side, not on top of Tori. He raised her eyebrows at her now able to see the worry that colored her face. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, "Humor me."
Tori tried to get up but Beck put an arm around her stomach and pulled her back to him. "Beck can I just close the door?" He let go of her.
Tori got up from the couch and walked over to the door, she peeked outside, out of pure curiosity to see if there was anyone that had witnessed their make-out session.
There was someone walking down the street and as the person got closer Tori saw that it was…Tori slammed the door and leaned against the back of it sliding down till she was sitting on the floor.
Beck sat up startled by the door. He looked down to where Tori was sitting. Her head in between her knee's. Beck rushed to Tori's side, he rested a hand on her back, " What's wrong?"Beck whispered close to her head.
Tori lifted her head a tad and said, "Jade." Beck relaxed a little, "What about Jade? I though we agreed that she wasn't going to get in the way of our relationship."
Tori shook her head, "No, Jade is outside, she's coming this way." Now the worry returned to Beck's face, "Are you sure she's coming here? Why would she be coming here? You guys aren't even friends? She's definitely coming here."
"Beck calm down, wait…" Tori got up quietly and looked through the peep hole and sure enough Jade was walking up the drive-way of the Vega's house.
Beck stood up next to Tori, "Is she…" Tori signaled him not to talk. Tori moved to the side so she was no longer in view of the peep hole.
There was an angry knock on the door, then the door nob moved. Tori started at the door awestruck, she'd forgotten to lock it
As the door creaked open Tori and Beck stood apart, getting away from each other, the farthest that was allowed in the tight space behind the door. Jade's head came through the crack that the door was open and she scanned the room for anyone, as her eye's set on Tori and Beck standing behind the door.
"Jade you're jus…" Jade almost snarled at Tori nonchalant kind small talk. "Shut it Tori, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE Beck!"
She looked at Beck waiting for an answer, but he stared at his feet, refusing to make eye contact with her. "Beck was just here to ask me for help on how to get you back?"
Jade and Beck's eye's fell on Tori; Jade's happy, Beck's confused. "What!" Beck and Jade said at the same time.
"Yes." Tori said regretting every word but certainly meaning it. Her and Beck weren't meant to be, or else they wouldn't have to hide. This didn't feel good but it sure felt better then sneaking around.
She would miss Beck yes but this was for the best she told herself as she trudged on, thinking on the spot, making things up as she went. "Well Beck here realized that you two were always meant to be but didn't know how to ask you to forgive him. So here he is, and here you are…right on time…umm…yeah, how about you guys go talk this out or I can go over to the kitchen and you guys can talk this out here, I don't know? I think I should just stop talking now.
Jade looked at Tori, actually looked at her, for the first time that night. She looked kind of out of control. What could possibly be making little miss sunshine this nervous? There was something up with those two and Jade was going to get to the bottom of it.
She walked over to Beck with a plan in mind. Jade took the collar of Beck's and crashed her lips into his as she had done many times before.
'That'll show her' Jade thought and she kissed back forcefully, 'Beck is my property, so she better back off.'
Beck froze at first then pushed Jade away. "No Jade, that was not why I came here. I don't know what Tori was talking about either; all I know is I don't want to see either of you right now." He turned to Jade, "I'm really sorry, but no I don't want to get back together. You made 2 years of my life a living hell." then to Tori, "I can't believe you would say that. I thought you were better then that Tori, I really cared about you and now…now I just don't know what to think." with that Beck grabbed his jacket of the couch and left.
"What?" Tori couldn't believe how brave Beck had just been to stand up for himself. She felt horrible because she didn't do the same, she wasn't meant to have a great guy like him, she didn't deserve him.
"Yeah, I can't believe it either, but now tell me Tori what was Beck talking about when he said he 'cared' about you?"
Tori turned to Jade, an incredulous look on her face, "I think you should leave now." Tori said in a less then friendly tone. She stared Jade down challenging her to defy her orders; at that moment Tori was scarier then Jade, it wouldn't last but it was something, Tori thought.
Jade turned, and just as easily as she had come, she was gone. Tori locked the door and collapsed on the floor and started crying into her knees.
Beck made her SO happy, how could she have let him down like that. What was she thinking? She wasn't, that was the problem, she wasn't thinking about what was best for her and Beck. What it was that Beck had really wanted, and it sure wasn't to get back together with Jade.
Who in their right mind would want that? She had to fix things, she got up and grabbed her phone from the coffee table; texting a quick apology she pushed send.
But then she realized that she owed it to Beck to go and apologize in person, even if he didn't want her back. She ran out of the house with just her phone and key's in hand, not even bothering to grab a jacket. She ran down her street down a couple of blocks.
By the fifth block she began to remember that Beck's house was actually not that close but soon she hit his street and turned, seeing his R.V. up ahead she ran faster.
By the time she reached his front door she was out of breath. She knocked on the door, really hoping he would answer it. Tori stood expectantly and after probably the longest 30 seconds of her life, the door opened a crack.
Beck poked his head out half way, "What are you doing here?" he said not waiting for an answer.
The door was almost closed and Tori wouldn't have that. "NO! Don't shut the door. Can you just hear me out. I'm really sorry about earlier. I panicked and just didn't know what to say, and it was stupid because I was only thinking about what would be best but I never stopped to think about what you wanted and I know that I don't deserve you, you are just an amazing person and I'm a jerk for trying to force you back together with Jade and I decided that you deserved an in-person apology so here I am and I'm really tired because I forgot how far you actually live and I ran the whole way here and I'm a little cold cuz the night is chilly and now I'm just rambling and I can't stop, but I'm going to try REALLY hard because I probably look really stupid and all I'm trying to say is sorry."
Tori forced herself to stop, but it didn't take too much of an effort because her chattering teeth forced her to stop; she had stupidly left her house with no jacket, she looked down at her feet, yeah she had forgotten shoe's too.
She was suddenly engulfed by warmth and startled she looked up, and as soon as she did she was greeted Beck's lips crushing hers.
He pulled her in and immediately she felt less cold, of course it could have a lot to do with the fact that Beck was holding her to him tightly. He was running out of breath so he stopped kissing her and just held her, placing his chin on top of her head.
Tori turned her face toward Beck's chest, seeking all the warmth she could get. He hugged her tighter. "I love you Tori. Sadly No matter what, you could probably do worst things and I would still love you."
Tori laughed at this, "So I could, lets say…kill Jade and you would still love me?" Tori was expecting him to laugh but he didn't; she tilted her head up to look at him
His eyes were shut and it looked like he might be in pain. She was about to ask him what was wrong, but then it occurred to her that she had never said it back. She had never told him how much she loved him, which she did.
She kept her eyes fixed on his face, "Beck?"
He kept his eye's shut, "Yes Tori?"
"I love you."
At this Beck's eyes shot open, "What did you just say Tori?"
"I said, 'I love you Beck.' Is there something that needs spelling out? I thought that I made it pretty clear cut. I love you Beck. I didn't realize it till you left my house, but I can't picture my life without you in it, I love you." she tilted her head a little but more till she could reach his lips and kissed him sweetly trying to convey all the love she felt.
Beck started to make the kisses deeper and began leading her back towards the couch in his small living room. It took all her strength-mental that is-to stop what was inevitably going to happen if she didn't.
"Beck wait." Tori lightly pushed him away trying to not hurt his feelings, that was not her intention. "This was what I was trying to tell you before the horrible course of events happened. Would it be fine if maybe we took things slower, maybe get to know each other better than we do already? I promise this time we won't have to keep things a secret because I love you and why would I want to hide that?"
She led him to the couch and plopped down dragging him with her. She looked at him expectantly. Beck smiled at her; Tori smiled back.
"Yeah Tori, like I said before when you wanted to keep us a secret, I will do anything you want as long as you are happy."
Tori rested her forehead on his, "I love you."
"Je t'aime aussi, ma petite amie." Beck replied in his French that was well studied.
Tori just rolled her eyes and kissed him. "So movie or something?" Beck asked, "I don't think I'm ready to let you go yet."
Tori leaned in, "Only if we watch Chicago."
So did you like it? this will take a different direction next chapter, I promise rereading this was worth it, now can you do me a favor? Review! please=)
