Chapter 6

Tori POV

I walked into school a little scared. I looked around for Beck but he wasn't here yet. I walked to my locker to get my books when I saw Matt standing there. I tried to walk away but he saw me and grabbed me. "Who do you think you are having Beck come to your rescue? He will never like you. You're ugly and irritating."

He was holding my wrist and his grip was getting. "Let go your hurting me." He didn't let go. I saw Beck out of the corner of my eye walking in. "STOP! PLEASE!" I begged half yelling.

"Let go of her," Beck came over pulling his hand off me.

"Look who it is Beck coming to the rescue again. This isn't over." He said then walked away.

"Tori are you ok? Did he hurt you?"

"I'm fine. I wanted to talk to you about something."

"About what?"

"You and me, together." I smiled at him.

"Really, I thought you said it was a bad time." He looked at me puzzled.

"Well Trina…" he cut me off.

"Trina. That explains everything."

"Well is it a yes or a no."

"Yes." I jumped and gave him a hug. I just needed to know one more thing.

"Will you promise to protect me?" He nodded. He kissed my cheek and broke our hug.

"I'll see you later. I have to go hand in some papers."

"Ok." He walked away. I was getting books from my locker when Jade came up to me.

"Vega!" she yelled to me. "You need to stay away from Beck."

"Why?"

"Do you really think he likes you?"

I couldn't take Jade pushing me around. "Yeah I do. He likes me more than he did you."

"No one talks to me like that."

"Well I just did. How does it feel to be on the other end?" It felt good sticking up for myself.

"Well how does this feel." She punched me right in my stomach. I fell to the floor and she walked off.

Beck POV

I was sitting in Sikowitz's class waiting for Tori but she didn't show. I saw Cat walk in. "hey Cat did you see Tori?"

"No, maybe she's late."

"No I saw her this morning."

"Oh then I don't know." Oh my gosh what is something happened to her. I got left not caring who would try to stop me. I walked through the hallway and saw Tori taking her things out of her locker. "Tori what are you doing."

"Beck, I'm sorry I just can't stay." She had tears coming from her eyes.

"Yes you can." I told her pulling her into a hug.

"No I can't. I'm getting too hurt here."

"Just give it one more chance. I'm your boyfriend now and I won't let anyone hurt you again." She nodded and I helped her put her stuff back in her locker and I walked her to class. When we got to the door I said, "go in I have to go do something. You will be safe here. Don't leave until I come get you." She nodded and walked in.

I walked to the office and went up to the lady at the desk, "who can I speak to about a schedule change?"

"You can speak to Mr. Brown. Third on the left."

"Thanks." I walked down and knocked on the door and went in.

"Hello how may I help you?" he said in a very friendly way.

"I want to change my schedule to match Tori Vega's."

"Umm… alright. Fill out these papers. You can go and sit out there." I was filling it out as fast as I could. As I was sitting there a teacher walked in and following was Matt. I want so much to jump up and punch him but I didn't. I knew if I did that then I wouldn't be there for Tori because I would end up getting suspended.

"I found this student smoking in the bathroom."

"Smoking that's and expulsion." Did I just hear him correctly? That means Tori is safe. He has been harassing her for three week.

I finished filling out the paper and got my new schedule. Now it's time to see Tori.
