Hey guys! So I haven't gotten the five more reviews I wanted yet, but I'm going to go ahead and write another chapter because I, sadly, won't be at home this week. I'll be rockin' the shores of the Bahamas until Saturday! SO EXCITED!:) I leave on the red eye tonight and wanted to give you guys one last parting chapter. So, without further ado, here's Chapter 4!
Beck texted me the minute school let out.
BECK: Hey Tori, it's me, Beck.
TORI: Hi! Ok so yeah for tonight the address is 177 Meadowbrook Plaza.
BECK: Great. 8 o' clock, right?
TORI: Yup!
BECK: Sounds good. Later then? :)
TORI: Later :)
By the time I got home, I had completely forgotten about the fact that it was only my first day. And then I realized that I had just invited Beck over to an unpacked house! I ran inside to see if my parents had at least managed to get the couch inside. To my complete shock, the house was fully furnished, from the couches in the living room, to the dish towels in the kitchen.
The house was very cool. It had this very modern vibe to it, completed with two giant red couches in the living room. Even the staircase was swanky, metal stairs with no supports underneath, it was pretty great.
"Mom?" I called as I walked throughout the house.
"In here, Tor!" Mom called from a room upstairs.
When I finally found her, she was in an amazing room! Light blue pastel walls, with a vintage desk and bed set to match. The comforter set had this whole black-and-white-swirly design with random splashes of blue and pink. Coming out of my 'awesome room coma,' I noticed Mom fixing a final decorative pillow on the bed.
Mom must've noticed I had entered the room because she stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "Tori, honey, welcome to your new room!"
"This room is mine?" I asked incredulously with a big, goofy smile on my face.
"It sure I," Mom said smiling back.
At that moment all I could think was, 'I have the best parents ever!' And then I remembered that Beck would be coming soon.
"Oh hey Mom. Is it OK if I have a friend from school over today? He's going through some stuff right now and could really use a friend."
"You already made a friend that's coming home with you? And a boy at that? Sure sweetie! Why don't you go put a little make-up on before he gets here?"
"Mom! It's not like that! Beck's just a friend."
"Beck. Beck Oliver?"
"Um…yeah I think so. How did you know that?"
Mom just laughed. "Oh honey, don't worry I'm not some child stalker or anything. I met a woman at the supermarket this morning and she said she had a son named Beck that goes to your school. I was actually just about to ask you about him."
"Oh well you can meet him because he should be here any—"
"DING, DONG!" The doorbell sounded from downstairs and echoed throughout the house.
"Minute," I finished suddenly getting nervous. I really didn't have a reason to be nervous though. Beck was ready to get out of his relationship and I was willing to help…in a totally friend's only way.
I raced down the stairs trying to get to the door before Trina even had the slightest chance to open the door. When I finally reached the doorway, I flung open the door and smiled when I saw Beck standing there leaning against the door frame.
"Hey Tori," Beck said.
"Hi Beck," I replied.
Beck's POV:
When I got back to my house after school today, all I could think about was Tori. How it was only her first day and already she'd filled the entire school with light. It was apparent that everyone liked her, especially the guys. If you heard the way they talk about her in the locker rooms, you'd swear you heard the same conversation on Jersey Shore.
I couldn't believe it, but I think I was actually getting jealous over idiot meat heads in the locker room just talking about Tori. OK, so they weren't so much talking about Tori herself than they were talking about her…you know…femaleness. It was enough to make you want to punch them. Ugh, see again with my jealousy! What is happening to me?
Anyway, as I was driving home I remembered that I was supposed to text Tori about tonight. We had a quick conversation (the same conversation above) of her explaining to me where her house was. Before I knew it, I was pulling into my driveway and walking into my RV that I lived in next to my parent's house. Sure I still went inside for meals and stuff with my parents, but the RV made it my house, my rules and I enjoyed that.
After setting my bag down and grabbing a bottle of water from my mini fridge, I realized I still had two hours before I had to go to Tori's. 'What to do?' I asked myself.
Just then a knock came on my door. I got up to open it, but the knocker was already coming inside.
"Jade…what are you—"
"What's this I hear you're going to that Vega girl's house tonight?"
"Jade. Calm down. Tori and I are just friends. I only met her this morning!"
"Look, if you don't want to be with me, why don't you just say so, instead of cheating on me with that awful girl?"
"I am not cheating on you! How could you even think that? You know what Jade, I may not be cheating on you, but I am breaking up with you."
"Beck, baby, no. You can't do this."
"Yes I can Jade, and I am. I'm sorry. I'd like you to leave now."
"Fine but you and that girl will both regret this!"
"Just leave Tori out of this!"
"Goodbye, Beck!" She walked out and made sure to make enough noise slamming the door.
At this point, I guess I was supposed to be sad, but honestly, I had been getting tired of Jade for a while now. I looked at the clock and saw it was 7:45, time to get to Tori's.
I got in the car and punched the address Tori texted me into the GPS. It turned out that Tori's house was only just a few blocks away from mine. I was there really quickly and pulled into the driveway. It was a nice house.
I started thinking about what I might say to Tori. We were supposed to talk about how I was going to break up with Jade, but I've sort of already been there done that. I wonder what we'll do now.
I thought about what Jade said. How she thought I was cheating on her with Tori. I mean Tori's really cute, and nice, and cool, and…. 'Am I really thinking about Tori this way?' I then started picturing what it would be like to have Tori as my girlfriend, having a ray of sunshine in my life instead of a black hole. By the time I got to the door, I was emotionally drained. I rang the doorbell and waited for Tori to come. The door opened and there was Tori. She looked really pretty in the light of her house. All of those ideas about her being my girlfriend came rushing back to me again.
"Hey Tori," I said.
"Hi Beck," she replied.
Before I even knew what I was doing, I was leaning in and kissing Tori. And to my surprise, she kissed me back. The kiss deepened for a few seconds. She wrapped her arms around my neck and gently pulled at her waist. Finally, Tori pulled away.
"Beck, what just happened?"
I could only think of one response to that question. "I broke up with Jade….and I think it was for you."
There you have it guys! My parting chapter until next week! As usual REVIEW, and REVIEW some more!:) Tell me what you guys think about the whole Beck's POV thing. I expect some major reviewing when I get back! You have 5 days! Wish me a fun trip!:)
With as much love as always,
XOXO,
