It is now March of 2015 which meant this was Beck and Tori's third year at UCLA and they were enjoying it. They had awesome grades in class and were in multi extracurricular activities. Mainly everyone on campus liked Tori and Beck due to their kindness towards them and they thought the two of them were a cute couple, as well.
Today was a Saturday, but it was also a special day which meant no school, but it was also a special day. It was Tori's 21st birthday. Beck had celebrated his 21st birthday in January. She spent the whole day with him and the night ended with a romantic dinner at a classy restaurant. That morning, when Tori woke up, she was feeling really excited. She had also smelled pancakes coming from the kitchen. She got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and walked downstairs to find Beck cooking breakfast. He had make sausages, eggs, bacon, and her favorite, his pancakes.
Tori is living along in the house and she had given him a key to it just at the beginning of the year. That way, he can let himself in, as well. She trusted him that much.
When she reached downstairs, she plopped her down on a stool in front of the kitchen counter. Beck then placed a stack of pancakes in front which had syrup drizzled over it, sliced strawberries, banana slices, blueberries, and raspberries. Along with the pancakes, she had bacon, some scrambled eggs, and two pieces of bacon as well. Beck had also placed a bowl of fresh cut fruit and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice in front of her.
"Good morning baby," he said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Not wanting to bring up her birthday and wanting to see if he remembered it, she kept quiet. "Good morning. Why did you come over and make breakfast for me,?" she asked digging into the pancakes that he made. It was her absolute favorite.
He got himself some breakfast and joined her.
"No reason. I just felt like coming over and cooking you breakfast. I usually bring you breakfast anyways, but I felt like cooking for you today. I do it sometimes, too.
"So do you have any plans for today," she asked.
"Yup, I have to finish the project for English with my partner. It sucked that we didn't get to choose our partners and after that, me and my guy friends are hanging out tonight. What about you? What are you doing today?"
Not wanting to show her disappointment, she put on a fake smile and answered his question.
"Well, I don't know. I'm probably just going to hang around at home. Go on and have fun, okay?"
With a nod, they finished up their breakfast and with a kiss on the cheek, he left.
He forgot about my birthday. It's my 21st birthday and such an important day. How could he forget?
All of her friends from ULCA had called her and wished her a happy birthday. Later on, she decided to head to the mall. There, she found Beck who was suppose to be working on his English project with a brunette girl. They were talking and they looked pretty close. She just froze in place looking at them. Not wanting to be seen, she quickly rushed out of the mall, and ran to her car which was a silver Lexus convertible, a gift from her parents for her graduation.
When she was safely back at home, she ran into her bedroom, plopped herself onto her bed, and began to cry. After she decided that she had shed enough tears already, she took out her i-Touch and pressed shuffle. Usually, she would call Beck or ask him to come over when she was in a bad mood, but she could now. Music had always calmed her down.
You told me
there's no need
To talk it out
Cause its too late
To proceed
And slowly
I took your words
No looking back
I wont regret, no
I will find my way
I'm broken
But still I have to say
It's Alright, OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
Alright, OK
So don't you bother what I do
No matter what you say
I wont return
Our bridge has burned down
I'm stronger now
Alright, OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
You played me
Betrayed me
Your love was nothing but a game
Portrait a role
You took control, I
I couldn't help but fall
So deep
But now I see things clear
It's Alright, OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
Alright, OK
So don't you bother what I do
No matter what you say
I wont return
Our bridge has burned down
I'm stronger now
Alright, OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
Don't waist you fiction tears on me
Just save them for someone in need
It's Way to late
I'm closing the door
It's Alright, OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
Alright, OK
So don't you bother what I do
No matter what you say
I wont return
Our bridge has burned down
I'm stronger now
Alright, OK
I'm so much better without you
I won't be sorry
It's Alright, OK
Alright, OK
Without you
No matter what you say
It's Alright, OK
Alright, OK
Without you
I won't be sorry
By the end of the song, she had started crying again. The song hadn't really helped. Instead, it made her wonder if he was cheating on her.
First of all, he forgot her 21st birthday, then he said that he was going to work on an English project, but she found him at the mall talking and laughing with a girl. She began to think back and she remembered times in the past week where he would be texting a lot and calling and talking to people. However, whenever she asked him who, he always found a way to change the subject.
She knew that she couldn't take it anymore. She pulled out her phone, and called Beck.
When he picked up, she heard a girl giggling in the background. Her thoughts about him cheating were rising.
"Hey Beck, can I talk to you for a second. Do you mind coming over?" she asked ina small voice.
"What's wrong Tori? Did something happen? It sounded like you were crying. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Beck. I just want to talk to you. Can you come over, please?"
"I'm kind of busy right now, Tori, so can I call you back later?" He was about to hang up, but she quickly added.
"Beck, are you cheating on me?"
