Tori's POV
I lay in bed in my empty house. My parents had gone on yet another business trip, and Trina was staying at her 'friends' house. I bet they don't even go on business trips, I bet they just go on a vacation to get away from Trina for a while. Perhaps I could bribe them into taking me with them next time.
I suppose I should have gone out tonight in order to celebrate my successful breakup with Kane, but somehow I wasn't in the partying mood. Beck told me to go round his RV; he'd invite everyone and we could all just hang out. I told him that although it was an inviting offer, I really didn't feel like it. He then said okay and went to find Jade.
I have a problem though. Yes, of course I broke up with Kane because he'd given me all those bruises that still haven't disappeared, but there was another reason. One I can't really explain to myself, let alone anybody else. I tried explaining it to Beck because, well, he is the reason.
Lately I've started to look at Beck from a completely different point of view; one that's not just the friendly face I see every day. The time I spent apart from him really made me think what it'd be like to lose him for good, and I'll tell you now that I didn't care much for it. Then he came when nobody else did – he cared like nobody else did and he noticed that I was hurting. I'd fallen for Beck.
Should I tell him? I had to, didn't I? I owed it to him. He told me the other day that he wasn't happy with Jade and he didn't know what to do. Surely that meant he had doubts about his current relationship?
No, I couldn't tell him. It wasn't fair to Jade. I mean, she's never been fair to me of course, but to steal her boyfriend from her is beyond cruel. How long could I stay in the background for though?
Trina had left without me on Monday morning and my parents still weren't home. Great. I had to walk to school and it was raining a little; that fine rain that gets you soaking. The wind was quite heavy too so it blew my umbrella inside out every two seconds.
Late. Again. Detention. Again.
It had brightened up by Lunchtime, as had my day. Andre and I wrote an amazing song that I was to sing, so things were really looking up. As I neared the table, I noticed that Beck was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Beck?" I asked, settling next to Cat. She turned to me.
"I was just thinking that! And Jade, where's Jade?" genuine worry arose in her voice. I hadn't noticed Jade wasn't here, actually.
"Here they are," Robbie said, pointing towards the car park. Two figures got out of a truck that I recognized and met at the front of it. They just held hands for a small second, swinging their arms from side to side, and then she pulled him in. He kissed her passionately and she ran her fingers through his hair carelessly. Jealousy overwhelmed me. Clearly any doubts that Beck had were now sorted out. I couldn't believe it, and I couldn't help thinking how much that should've been me.
