When I Look At You

Chapter 2 ~ Saturday

Tori

Watching the sunrise with Beck had been awesome.

Watching him leave wasn't.

But he was coming back—or at least he said he was.

Earlier she made breakfast while he read out Slap updates on their friends; Jade's reading how much she missed him (Tori conveniently coughed at this) while Cat and Robbie were excited about the band they were going to see tonight and Andre's…well his was still blank. Beck theorized different things he could be doing while Tori just nodded and agreed, occasionally offering her own opinion.

After that they had decided to split up for an hour or two and then re-connect at Tori's house with their swimsuits and towels; heading to the beach as their choice activity for the day. Looking at the clock she found that an hour and a half had already passed and made her way downstairs from her room only to be stopped halfway by a text from Trina. Checking the time she found it a miracle that her sister was even awake before noon.

'hey sista!' It read, 'do me a fav and check what size my guccis are kay thanks!' Rolling her eyes, Tori made her way back up the stairs and texted Beck to let him know that their back door was unlocked and that he could let himself in.

Upstairs, upon entering Trina's room, Tori found the closet door pulled open wide, a sea of shoes spilling out onto the floor. Picking up her phone she called Trina who promptly answered after the first ring.

"Your shoes are everywhere! Which pair am I supposed to for?" Tori exclaimed, kicking a rogue high heel back onto the pile.

"The Gucci ones silly!" Trina laughed with a radio blaring in the background.

"Which ones though? You have like a dozen pairs!"

"Just dig then; they're golden and have little lacey overlays." And with that Trina hung up, her mission of messing with Tori's day complete. Sighing, Tori knelt down on the floor and proceeded to dig, grumbling the whole time as she shifted through the barely worn shoes. So focused on her mission for the Gucci's she never even heard the creaking of the stairs nor the squeak of Trina's bedroom door.

"What'cha doin'?" Came the slow drawl, promptly causing Tori to scream and turn to throw the shoe she had been holding towards the door.

Beck didn't even flinch as it narrowly missed his head.

"Jesus, Beck!" Tori sighed, slumping down onto the floor against the wall and watched as he came further into the room, an easy smile on his face with her sunglasses atop his head.

She forgot that they still had each other's.

"Nice room," He stated while looking around before his gaze fell on the pile of shoes, "a little fancy for just going to the beach, but hey, to each their own." He said with a shrug as if he could care less what Tori wore to the beach.

"I know that," She said, her adrenaline no longer rushing in her veins, "Trina needs me to find a pair of shoes and check the size."

"Oh, so this isn't your room?" Beck asked, leaning against the post of the bed frame.

"Can you honestly see me living in here?" Tori asked with distaste obvious in her voice and features. "Mines right across the hall; go check it out while I look for the Gucci's." She said crawling back over to the pile of shoes to resume her digging. Behind her Beck left as quietly as he came, his soft footsteps going out into the hall to presumably peek into her digs while she continued to mumble incoherent things about Trina's waste of shoes.

"Very nice." He stated upon returning to Trina's room minutes later.

"Oh, well thanks!" Tori said looking up to smile at him as he came to bend down next to her.

"I'll help you look," He said, his hand brushing against hers, causing her to swallow slightly, "what do they look like?"

"Uh…" She struggled to remember what her sister had said, "gold with lace junk all over it." She managed as Beck stood back up and went back out into the hall.

"This one?" He asked, causing her to turn around to see the golden shoe she had thrown at him balanced on his hand and presenting it Vanna White style.

"That's the one!" She smiled, throwing down the shoe in her hand and rising to step forward to take the correct one from him.

"Size seven." She read, tossing it over her shoulder and back onto the pile and pulling out her phone to text Trina with her shoe size.

"Alright," She said, clicking the bedroom door shut, "let's go to the beach!" She exclaimed, causing Beck to laugh and lead them down the stairs where she gathered her things from the sofa and exited the house through the front door.

Going to the beach with Beck definitely made up for digging through Trina's shoe mound.

Beck

"Umbrella?" He asked, looking over at his passenger.

"Check." She smiled, looking back at him.

"Cooler?"

"Check again."

"Snacks in cooler?"

"Double check; I made sure myself!" Tori exclaimed as her head fell back onto the headrest.

"And did you eat the snacks in the cooler while you were checking it?"

"Nooooooo, I did not!" She laughed back, giving him a playful smack on the arm that wasn't holding the steering wheel.

"Then I'd say we're definitely set for the beach."

"Good because we're here," Tori stated as he pulled into one of the many public access parking lots and killed the engine. Together they got out of the car and gathered their things, Tori handling the blankets and chairs while Beck wielded the cooler and umbrella. Strolling down the small sandy path that led to the actual beach, they stopped and surveyed the coastline, looking for the one ideal spot; a feat that was going to be hard with all the other happy beach goers present.

"Well." She stated, causing Beck to smile and nudge around her, motioning with his head to follow him.

"Watch a pro." He said cockily, trudging through the sand and off to their left where he looked high and low for a spot big enough for them to set up camp before soon finding one and taking off quickly. In the distance he could see a large group of apparent tourists looking for somewhere to park their fanny packs.

That wasn't going to happen.

Picking up his pace he heard the surprised yelp from Tori behind him as he charged forward a few more feet before suddenly dropping the cooler and spiking the umbrella deep into the sand while simultaneously popping it open. The tourists stopped dead in their strides and watched him with steely eyes before turning and going back the way they came.

"Huh," He heard Tori say from behind him, "both effective and scary. It was like watching animal planet almost!" She laughed while dropping the chairs.

"Told you I was a pro." He smiled before reaching over to take a towel from her arms, his fingers lightly grazing her arm in the process and causing her cheeks to darken ever so slightly.

Why did he get some small satisfaction out of that?

Shaking his head he placed the cooler upright and in between them as Tori flipped open the chairs and placed one on either side of the umbrella pole. From there she flopped down into hers and pulled her hair back into a messy bun and secured it off with a hair tie from her wrist, Beck watching the whole thing peripherally from behind her sunglasses. Seconds later she turned to him, not knowing he was already looking at her.

"So what now? We have our spot and our stuff and your mad territory finding skills; are we ready for funnin' and sunnin'?" She asked while burying her feet in the sand, a goofy grin on her face.

"I'd say we are." Beck grinned back, rising from his chair and reaching down to grasp the hem of his shirt and pulling it up and over his head, obviously noting how Tori tried in vain to look away, but still tried to sneak a peek all the same. Still grinning he reached out a hand and offered to help her up, his grin only growing wider as she hesitated before accepting and pulling herself from her chair.

"C'mon!" He said with a jerk of his head towards the water and taking off towards it, looking back once to see if Tori was following, but instead seeing her remove her shirt and shorts to reveal her bathing suit underneath.

After that he forced himself not to look back.

Rushing out past the breaking waves he dove deep into the water, the slightly cold salt water clearing his thoughts and putting things back on track.

He was only hanging out with Tori because Jade and everyone else was gone.

She was keeping him company and fighting off her own boredom at the same time.

She was a good friend who he enjoyed spending time with.

He was in love with Jade…right?

Right?

Diving underneath a wave rolling towards the shore, Beck broke through to the surface and brought a hand to his face to wipe the stinging water from his eyes. Looking left and right he searched for Tori's bobbing head and saw everyone else but her. Turning back to the shore he smiled as he spotted her knee deep in the tide with her hands on her hips her head turning to and fro as she took in her surroundings.

He had to admit he liked what he saw.

Her bathing suit was of good taste and she seemed at ease in her own skin, a fact he found comforting. He could detect a slight farmer's tan on her upper arms and thighs, but was overall pretty evenly tanned compared to Jade's sickly white that he had grown accustomed to, and really, what was wrong with a little color in his life?

Making his way back towards the shore Beck body surfed in on a wave and came to rest at Tori's feet, her smiling face looking down at his flayed out position.

"Awwwww," She laughed, "someone's having fun!" He couldn't help but smile as he struggled to stand against the breaking waves and found himself grabbing her arm for support though her stick like figure moved with the currents anyways.

"Come in with me!" He laughed with her arm still in his grip as he pulled her out into the water.

"Ew! No!" She exclaimed, weakly fighting against him. "I'm not going in that icky water!"

"It's only the international watering hole," He teased, still dragging her along, "you'll be fine!"

"Ew, Beck, no!" She slightly screamed as she broke free from his hold and made a break back to their umbrella. He merely laughed and ran and caught her, his arms encircling her petite waste and dragging her back into the water.

"You'll be fine; if you drown I'll save you!" He laughed, as the water flowed in and swirled around their waists.

"But I have your sunglasses on; what if I lose them?" She exclaimed as she clung tighter to him as he took them out further into the surf and sand swept around their feet

"They were cheap, I can get another pair!"

"Oh my god I think I stepped on a flounder!" Beck laughed at this and slightly loosened his hold, his subconscious wondering what she'd do.

"No you don't buddy! I ain't being swept out to sea!" She quipped while practically jumping back into his arms, her movements causing him to stumble slightly and seemingly fall back into the oncoming wave, the white capped water beating down onto them and sweeping the teens back towards the shore. Underwater he reached around until feeling her hand and grabbing on, liking how it fit into his for that one small second.

He wouldn't mind being swept out to sea if she went with him.

Tori

Gasping and choking for air she crawled her way up the beach only to be knocked down by another wave and another body colliding with hers. Coughing, she tried in vain to roll onto her side but found that whoever had landed on her wasn't moving. Blinking her eyes clear of sand and saltwater she tried once more to flip over only to have a pair of arms reach underneath her arms and heave her to her feet. From behind her Beck laughed as his hands progressed down to her waist and held her still as another wave crashed behind them and knocked them forwards slightly, his hands tightening around her middle.

"Ahhh!" She freaked as something slippery slid around her ankle and made her jump forward, Beck's laughter following her and causing her to laugh slightly also.

"It's seaweed Tori, chill!" She turned and slapped his arm playfully at this and attempted to reach behind her neck to make sure everything was still tied and in place, aware of his eyes the entire time.

"I know it's just….I don't like slimy things!" She reasoned as she kicked at the slimy sea plant as it raced back out to sea in a parting wave. He just continued to laugh and followed her as she made her way back up the beach and to their umbrella, grabbing her towel from her chair before plopping down and leaning her head back to relish in the semi-heat, Beck mimicking her actions.

"At least your sunglasses stayed in place," She said eventually as she reached up and pulled the cheap frames from her face, "here, I'd feel bad if something happened to them." She continued, offering them over to him only to find him shaking his head.

"Don't worry about it; yours are starting to seriously grow on me." He smiled, slipping her frames back on his face, the magenta color even brighter in the sunlight. She laughed and shrugged and put her newly acquired frames back onto her face, her arm falling back down to hang over the side of the chair, inches from the sand.

Slowly she flexed her fingers, the realization that Beck had actually held her hand reeling in her mind; yeah, she had noticed.

"Sooooooo…" She stated, turning her head to lazily look at him to find he was already waiting for her to continue. "How often do you and Jade come here?" She asked, feeling the need to bring up his girlfriend so her mind would stop freaking out over their actions in the water.

"We actually don't come here that often," He stated quietly while still looking at her, "Jade's not one for funnin' and sunnin'." He explained, repeating her words from earlier.

"Oh, well in that case just call me your unofficial beach buddy!" She smiled; glad at the thought that going to the beach with Beck was one up she'd have on Jade.

"Will do." He quietly replied, finally tearing his gaze from her and back out to the ocean.

"Do you come here a lot?" He asked, shifting in his chair so he was more slumped down.

"Usually with Trina and sometimes with Cat and Andre." She said simply, head still lolled back onto the top of the beach chair.

"May I ask what's up between you two?" There was no denying the curiosity in his voice as she raised her head at this.

"Huh?"

"Between you and Andre, if there is anything of course." Why was he refusing to look at her? Leaning forwards she smiled slightly as a sudden thought dawned on her.

"Why would you think anything's up between me and Andre?"

"No reason." He attempted to shrug although her stare was practically drilling holes into him.

"Really now?" She asked with an eyebrow quirked in the air; why'd he want to know anyways then?

"Well just so you know there's nothing going on," She explained gently, leaning back in her chair and crossing her outstretched legs at the ankles, "he's practically like a brother to me. He's actually with his girlfriend this weekend." She said before immediately sitting back up in her chair and smacking her hands across her mouth.

Beck finally looked back over, a knowing smirk on his face.

"You aren't supposed to know that." She said weakly, a frown engulfing her features. He laughed at this and motioned for her to sit back down.

"Your secret is safe with me, I promise." She sighed at this and rubbed her forehead with her hand, her other flopped back over the armrest.

"I feel awful now." She stated with a groan evident in her voice which caused Beck to look over and slowly reach out for her hand.

"Don't worry about it." He said lightly, slowly slipping her hand into his. Slowly she turned her head to look at him though her eyes were trained solely on their hands behind her shield of polarized lenses.

This definitely wasn't good.

"Beck, I…" She started, but just didn't have the heart to make him drop her hand, "thanks. For everything." She finished lamely as he slowly released her fingers but continued to look at her.

"Why thank me now? The weekend's just started." He covered smoothly, pulling his hand back over to his side of the tent pole and laying it on the armrest. Tori just smiled weakly and threw her head back into the chair, the sharp pain overpowering the warm butterfly feeling in her stomach.

She refused to be lulled into Beck's hands weather he wanted her to or not; she was not going to ruin a perfectly good relationship no matter how much she wanted to be with him.

Some things in life were just un-attainable; he just happened to be one of them.

Beck

Was it just him or had things gotten a little weird at the beach?

Well…he kind of did help contribute to that weirdness, so was it his fault?

He did seek out the contact between them, but then again they were good friends.

So what really happened then?

Sighing, Beck sat down on his bed, tossing his shirt off to the side as he leaned his head forwards and into his hands. Rubbing his face roughly he reflected on his day with Tori and how she made him smile and laugh and everything. He grinned vaguely at the memory before being torn from his thoughts by the vibrating of his phone. Reaching back into his pocket and reading the screen he found that it was Jade calling, her sullen picture illuminated on the screen.

What a stark difference between her and Tori.

"Hey." He drawled after answering a few rings later.

"Hey, babe, I miss you." She said immediately, a pout evident in her voice.

"I miss you too." He smiled though not sure how much he really meant it.

"Well Monday we can make up for all our missed time."

"I'll look forward to it then." There it was again; that feeling that made him second guess what he was saying.

"So what have you been up to since I've been gone?"

"Not much; it's only been a day a half since you left." He stated though to him if felt like a lot more.

"I know, it's just that you have to be bored there all by yourself."

"Well I haven't been by myself completely." He admitted while bracing for her reaction.

"Oh really now?" He could actually feel her glare coming through the phone at him.

"Yeah."

"Who's been with you?" He hoped she didn't hear the gulp that accompanied his swallow.

"Well Tori was kind of left here too, so we've hung out some." At this he was met with silence, the only sound coming from the static of the crappy connection.

"Huh." Was all she said after a long while though he could pretty much see her face in his mind; her deathly face being the most prominent.

"Don't have too much fun now." Ouch; the third degree could practically be felt through the wireless connection.

"You know I won't." He replied, trying in vain to convince her that even with Tori he was having a miserable time without her.

"Yeah, well we'll see." And with that she hung up, the steady dial tone replacing the line her voice once occupied.

Sighing once to refresh himself after the minute long phone call, Beck placed his phone back into his pocket and reached to grab his shirt, sliding it on and rising from the bed. Grabbing his car keys from the small kitchen counter on the way out, he locked up behind himself and proceeded to get in his car where he sat for the longest time lost in thought.

Why did he not really feel affected by their small spat, mostly on Jade's part, over the phone? He knew her well enough to know it was just a front she put up to bend him to her will, to make him let her get her way. He constantly fell for it time and time again; when would he learn?

Still mulling these thoughts over, though not as seriously as before, Beck started the car and made way for Tori's house, looking forward to their dinner plans more than he should since his phone conversation with Jade. As he turned onto the main road through town, the quickest shortcut there, his phone vibrated in his pocket once more. Pulling it out he once again saw Jade's sullen face; she couldn't even muster up a smile for him. Dropping the phone into a nearby cup holder he let it ring, knowing full well she'd be sent to voicemail in a mere matter of seconds.

He had plans with a certain someone who always had smiles to spare.

Tori

"Thanks for dinner again." She said lazily, her gaze still stuck on the gleaming stars above.

"You're very welcome; thank you for paying." He replied, his gaze also on the endless sky above.

"Well it was the least I could do since you've been driving me around everywhere; you won't let me pay you for gas." And it was true; she had tried in many various ways to get him to accept the wad of cash she kept presenting to him to cover his gas costs as he continued to commute them around town. She had noted earlier that he had been running low, so of course she offered to pay and of course he denied her, but that was okay; she snatched the dinner ticket right out from under his hand and paid for both the meal and tip.

She was just good like that.

"There's Pegasus." He said, snapping her from her internal victory dance of paying for dinner by raising his hand to point at a constellation above.

"Where?" She asked, turning her head left and right to see. "Since when did you become an astrologer?" Raising her head she looked down towards her feet to see his head pop up and look back at her.

"Since you started paying for twenty two dollar dinners." At this she just stuck out her tongue, scrunching up her eyes in a very immature way that only caused him to laugh as he flopped his head back down onto the hood. Moments later she did the same and went back to stargazing.

After their dinner at an okay Italian restaurant neither one of them had been to, Beck had insisted on driving out into the county to star gaze, though she claimed it was impossible due to ever present city night life; there were no such things as actual stars where they lived.

Yet he proved her wrong.

She was slightly nervous as he pulled off into a random field a few goof miles out of town, but he assured her that his ninja moves were up to date if a threat became apparent. She laughed at this, all traces of her anxiety gone, and hopped up onto the hood where she laid down, Beck doing the same only opposite with his head by her feet; they had been like that every since.

"Twenty two dollars really isn't that bad." She said with a shrug though she doubted he could see the gesture.

"To some, but to others maybe it is." She nodded at his words before smacking at another bug, this time on her arm.

"Stupid insects." She muttered, wiping her hand on her jeans.

"Fight with nature and it shall fight back." Was Beck's semi-cryptic words which she only shook her head at.

"Thank you Ghandi." She stated knowing full well he was smiling without even looking at him.

He seemed to be doing that a lot lately, more then she had ever seen him do.

"There's Gemini." He called out again, his arm pointing back up towards the sky.

"How do you know all this?" She asked, genuinely curious as to when he had learned to identify the wads of stars above them.

"A fine mash up between Discovery channel and Star wars." She couldn't help but laugh at this as his hand dropped back down onto the hood, brushing against her hip in the process.

She tried hard not to make too much of it.

From there their conversation seemingly died and they fell into a comfortable silence as a chorus of crickets filled the now empty space and a few birds sung in the distance, most likely mockingbirds.

"Beck?" She asked eventually, not really sure why.

"Tori." He said back with not even a flinch.

"I was just making sure you were still there." She said, the words only registering as stupid after they left her mouth.

"Did you hear me get up?" He responded a few seconds later with not even a hint of laughter at her statement.

"No."

"Then I'm still here." She smiled at this and turned her head to the side, trying hard to make out his figure in the dark.

"Why did you think I wasn't still here?" He questioned minutes later, taking her slightly by surprise.

"I dunno….we've just never really hung out for more than an hour or two before," She explained with a small blush on her face and thanking god it was dark, "it just seemed a little surreal that we were still…together."

"I kinda like it." He responded almost immediately causing her blood to rush in her veins and her heart rate to speed up.

"You do?"

"Yeah."

"You don't think I'm annoying?" She asked as she remembered all the times Jade had accused her of being so.

"Not at all."

"Well thank you!" She laughed nervously, hoping her wouldn't pick up on her internally giddy emotions. Trying hard to calm herself she turned her gaze back up to the sky and tried to lose herself in their lights, but just simply couldn't.

When ever Beck was around she could never focus on anything or anyone.

"Tori?" She heard him ask moments later, his voice slightly different from before, almost as if he was nervous about whatever it was he wanted to say.

"I'm still here." She justified, a small smile on her face as she just assumed he was going to ask her if she was still there.

"That's great because I have a question for you." Oh, well that slightly threw her.

"Go for it."

"Why'd you help Jade when she wanted to get back together with me?" Wow…that was highly unexpected. Thinking hard about her answer she grew quiet, the various sounds of nature seemingly ten times louder than before.

"I guess she just seemed so pathetic," She admitted, hoping Beck wouldn't get mad at her words, "she was so upset and seemed to genuinely want you back, so I helped her. You two just seemed like a perfect couple that it felt like a waste to let something like that be spoiled so easily."

"You think we're a cute couple?" At this she pulled herself into a sitting a position, so many different words on her tongue all fighting to get out.

Beck sat himself up opposite her.

"I'll probably be walking home after this," she admitted as she easily avoided his gaze in the dark, "but no, I don't think you two are a cute couple."

"Why?" He asked, his voice neutral of any emotion.

"I dunno," She lied, buying time in between her real words and her fake, "she just seems to always boss you around and put you down. Her mood swings are never good and she's just always thinking of herself like she's better than everyone else, but this is just what I see, so plea—" She was immediately cut off mid word as a pair of lips pressed against hers, soft and full.

How he found her face in the dark she had no idea, but god did it feel good.

Feeling her eyes flutter shut she leaned into the hand that had found its way to her cheek and felt herself kiss back, her subconscious screaming at her to stop the whole time, though she was only half way listening until she felt him part her lips with his and suddenly pulled away.

Breathing hard she scrambled off the hood of the car and paced back a forth a few feet from the car. Behind her she heard him slide off the hood and creak the driver door open, the indoor light illuminating their surroundings. Looking up she found him leaning against the car and looking over the top at her, his expression a mix of confusion, pain, and a tad bit of anger.

"I'm sorry!" She immediately gushed, hugging herself against the night air and about to say more until she saw him shake his head and put a finger to his lips.

"It was my fault, don't apologize." He said still shaking his head and still braced against the car for support. She watched as he seemed to internally fight with himself before opening his mouth to say more.

"C'mon," He said nodding at the car, "let's go home." And with that he slid deftly into his seat, the car door closing softly behind him.

Not wanting to be left behind, but also not wanting to be around him, Tori slowly opened the passenger door and climbed in, her eyes on Beck's face the whole time.

Was he mad at her?

Was he mad at himself?

Why'd he kiss her?

Why did she want him to do it again?

What was going on between them?

"Just…just forget it." He said after she closed the door and the interior light flicked off, leaving them once more in darkness.

"Are you okay?" She asked, genuinely concerned about him.

"I should be asking you that." He said, a hint of sadness in his voice as he started the car and started back for town, silence filling the small car.

"Do…do you want to talk about it?" She asked with slim hopes that he would.

"Not really."He replied, refusing to look over at her. She only nodded silently and snuck small, quick glances over at him, his face contorted in a way that told her he was already internally talking about it with himself.

"Can we turn on the radio?" She managed to ask eventually after a decent amount of time had passed and she realized that they hadn't listened to it since they started hanging out yesterday.

"Sure." Was his simple response, his demeanor distinctly lighter from a few miles back. Reaching forward she turned the small knob, the rough chords of a heavy screamo song meeting their ears.

"Nice station…?" She said with a small smile, not really sure what else to say. Looking over she saw him just roll his eyes and reach forwards.

"Jade listens to that stuff," He said while playing with his pre-sets, "I'm more of an Indie and classic rock person myself." With that Beck finally looked over at Tori, an unreadable expression on his face. Not sure what else to do she gave him a gentle smile that only caused him to shake his head.

"You always have smiles to spare." He said quietly, almost as if he was talking to himself.

"Thanks?" She offered, making him realize she had heard.

"Don't worry about it." He said, a ghost of a grin on his face.

"I won't," She said with an eyebrow quirked high in the air as she dug around in her pocket, "if you take my money." A smirk consumed her features as she pushed it towards him only to have him refuse once more.

"Beck…if you take the money we're even…on everything." She explained with a little emphasis on the 'everything' part, making him contemplate her words until he finally sighed.

"Fine," he said taking the wad of bills from her, his fingers lingering against hers that she felt was purposeful, "we're even." And with that he finally smiled, his gaze lingering on her before turning back to the road. She just simply smiled back and watched as the city slowly came back into view, the man made lights twinkling just as brightly as those above. Leaning her head against the glass of the window she allowed her eyes to drift shut, loving how the wind whipped in from Beck's open window and made her fly wild.

If only he knew that he himself gave her that feeling; no windows or wind needed.

Sooooooo...whatcha think? Wait, don't tell me, leave it a review/comment! Crazy thought, right? Nah, not really, but it'd be greatly appreciated! :)
