A Date with Tori

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Victorious or have any affiliation with it or any other stories!

Saturday night rolled around. I was getting ready for my date with Tori. I still had no idea why I agreed to do this. Sure, it may help me get over Jade but was that what I really wanted? And even if it was, was this really the right way to do it? Well, it was too late to take it back now. Before I left to pick up Tori, I texted Jade, who had already left with Andre on their vacation yesterday.

Beck: Whatcha doin'?

Jade: 'Bout to eat dinner. What you up to?

Beck: Going out with Tori

Jade: Like on a date?

Beck: Yep

Jade: Wow, I didn't know you liked Tori.

Beck: It's not that kind of date, we're just spending some time together like you and I usually do

Jade: Well, have fun with that, Andre's coming. TTYL ;)

Beck: ttyl

After that little conversation, I dressed up and got in my car to pick up Tori. We agreed that we would just have dinner, talk things out and see if things went further. I sure hoped they wouldn't. I drove her to her favorite Chinese restaurant, Wok Star. We ordered some won ton soup, fried rice, roast duck and seafood chow mein. However, after ordering the food, we both went silent. It got kind of awkward being just the two of us. I definitely felt uncomfortable and it appeared she was feeling the same way. Still, Tori seemed determined to make this work so she tried to break the ice.

"So how's your family doing?" she asked.

"My dad's doing OK. Work's been hard on him but he's managing. I think my mom is doing well. She's excited about this date because she goes on about how she wants grandchildren."

"Does she really expect us to go that far? We're only doing this to help you."

"I don't know. I think she was just excited because I've never been on a date before."

"I see..."

"So how exactly does this work?"

"Well...we talk about stuff. Maybe we get to know each other better or just have some laughs..."

"Like how Jade and I would when it was the two of us?"

"Don't think about Jade, but essentially yes."

"Does that mean Jade and I dated?"

"Are you seriously this clueless?" She was clearly starting to get frustrated.

"Sorry. Go on."

"OK...What do you want to talk about?"

Before I could answer, the waitress came with all of our food. We wanted to talk but right now, I was just really hungry. For the next few minutes, we split up the food between us and ate in silence. It had gotten awkward again so I decided to try and talk again. What I said was a big mistake.

"So what do you think Jade and Andre are doing right now?"

Tori stopped in her tracks and looked up from the won ton in her chopsticks.

"Seriously. We need to stop talking about Jade. You're only going to hurt yourself."

"Am I really hurting myself or am I hurting you?"

Tori stood up and glared at me. I knew what I had said was yet another big mistake. I knew I was in for it because when Tori gets mad enough, she'll burn a forest down.

"I can't believe you're behaving so childishly! Jade is seeing Andre! You have to accept that! All I'm doing is trying to help! And you're just throwing it in my face by talking about Jade!"

"Look, I'm sorry! But this isn't working!"

"You know what? Fine! I'm out of here!"

"Come on, at least let me drive you home."

But it was too late, Tori was out the door. She conveniently left me with a lot of leftover food and the bill. Great... I couldn't believe how badly this plan had gone. I knew I shouldn't have done it but I did. And now one of my friendships is scarred, if not destroyed. I kicked myself. Yes my behavior was stupid but at the same time, going out with another girl wasn't going to help me get over Jade. There was no way this date could have turned out well. I stared bitterly at the food in silence, thinking about how much of a failure this had been. Then I asked to have the leftovers to go and paid the bill. I then got in my car with the food and drove off. I really wanted to go home right now and just lie on my bed. I was so frustrated and hurt that I wasn't completely paying attention to the road. As I drove thinking about Jade and sleep, I suddenly felt a heavy thump against my car and a loud shriek. I realized that I wouldn't be getting home any time soon.

Somehow I had caught up to Tori. How did I know this? Because I had just run her over.

Just Say'n - Heads up! Our first Bade moment is coming in the next chapter! The question is if it will help their relationship proceed or if it will shoot Beck in the foot.

Laury the Latrator - Well after this incident...it's pretty safe to say Bori is over. I'm not a big Bori shipper either and this will definitely be Bade. I know I'm taking a long time but it's coming.

Courage1220 - Got my notepad right here. I'll consider it. No guarantees but I'll see if I can make something work.

caitlin23164 - Well, she certainly doesn't now. He might have gotten her killed.

Jeremy Shane - Here you go. :)
