Chapter 22

~The Oliver's~ Tori got Marchella up the same time she usually gets up, Marchella was auditioning for Hollwood Arts today. Hollywood Arts was now a school for the grades 7-12. "Ready?" Tori asked.

"Yeah," Marchella yawned.

"Good let's go." Tori picked up Jayda and walked outside with Marchella. They drove to HollyWood Arts where Tori worked as a private singing lesson teacher.

~At HollyWood Arts~

Sitting in a line of chairs with a long table infront of them where Sikowitz, Lane, Helen, and Tori.

"Hello, got any coconuts?" Sikowitz asked Marchella.

"No, I don't have any Sikoditz."

"It's Sikowitz."

"I know." Marchella said.

Lane chuckled, "Okay, Marchella, take the stage."

"I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell, you rose to claim it It was dark and I was over Until you kissed my lips and you saved me.

My hands, they're strong But my knees were far too weak To stand in your arms Without falling to your feet.

But there's a side to you That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say They were never true, never true,
And the games you play You would always win, always win.

But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

When I lay with you I could stay there Close my eyes Feel you're here forever You and me together Nothing gets better

'Cause there's a side to you That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play You would always win, always win.

But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

I set fire to the rain And I threw us into the flames Well, it felt something died 'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught, must be waiting for you Even now that we're already over I can't help myself from looking for you.

I set fire to the rain,
Watch it pour as I touch your face,
Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames Well, it felt something died 'Cause I knew that was the last time The last time, oh, oh!

Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn!" Marchella sang. During her perfourmance Helen was smiling and rocking side to side in her chair, Sikowitz was staring without blinking at her drinking out of a coconut, Lane sat back in his chair and smiled, and Tori gave her a thumbs up.

"Ohh! Baby! Welcome to HollyWood Arts!" Helen siad standing up and running over to Marchella. Everyone gave her a round of appplause.

Tori brought Marchella around the school, showing her her parents old lockers and everything. Marchella decided to put cheeta print wallpaper on her locker, because everyone had to do something to their locker. She also put a sun, sunglasses, and flowers on it, because summer was her favorite thing ever. Marchella was officially part of Hollywood Arts!

"Marchella, here's your schedule."

Marchella took it from Tori and read it over. 1st period was Sikowitz's acting class, 2nd was math, 3rd was english, then lunch, 5th was a singing class she enrolled in, 6th was science, 7th was a filming class, 8th was english, and last period was social studies. Tori showed her where all the classes where Marchella walked off to her 1st period. She walked in and sat down next to a girl. Her name was Violet and she seemed nice.

"Oh! Well hello mini Jade!" Sikowitz yelled when Marchella walked in the room.

"Hi," Marchella said to Violet.

"Hey. Are you new here?"

"Yeah."

"Why'd he call you mini Jade?"

"Longggg story."

"I have time," Violet laughed.

Marchella sighed, "My mom and dad went here, they dated all four years when this was just a highschool. When they divorced my dad married the girl my mom hated, Tori Vega."

"Ms. Vega? She's my private singing coach."

"Yeah, she's my stepmom."

"You're so lucky, I love her. She's so nice!"

"Violet! Up on stage, pick your team!" Violet picked Marchella, Joey, Alexa, Carly, and Michael.

Violet started the alphebet improve and Marchella was the fourth one out.

~After School~

Tori got Marchella and went to pick up Jayda from day care and then Alexia from school.

"Lexi."

"Yeah Mama?"

"We're gonna go see Ryder again today."

"Okay." Tori drove home with all the girls. Beck wasn't home yet so Tori decided to start cooking dinner. She made mac and cheese then mixed boiled cut-up hotdogs in it. Everyone sat at the table and enjoyed their dinner.

"Hello sweet family of mine," Beck said walking inside. They all said hi and he sat down to enjoy dinner with them.

"Honey, I gotta bring her to see Ryder now."

"Alright, love you."

"Love you too." Tori grabbed her coat as Lexi put her shoes on. They walked out to the car and drove to the park where they were meeting Ryder.

"Hey Lexi."

"Hi Ryder." She sat down across from him at a picnik table. He opened up his wallet and pulled a picture out. It was a little bent around the edges, and little marks were on the picture. He gave it to her across the table. Tori was standing up next to Lexi and saw the picture. Alexia looked at it for a few minutes.

"Who is this?" She asked.

"That's you when you were a baby and me holding you. You were one in that." Ryder told her. She went to hand it back to him, "No, I want you to keep it."

"Okay." She tucked it in her jeans pocket and talked with him for a little.

"So what do you like to do?"

"Umm, I like to ride my bike, play dolls, swim, and I like to play. I don't like to do boring things."

"Oh, well if your mom would let you, the apartments I live in has a big pool for anyone to swim in. It has a park, basketball court, baseball field, and a trail to ride bikes or jog or anything."

"Mommy! Can I?" Alexia asked excited.

"Not right now Lexi."

"Yeah mommy, let her," Ryder smirked.

"That's enough Ryder. Let's go Alexia."

"Bye Ryder," Alexia waved.

"Bye."

~Later That Night~

Tori was snuggled up against Beck on the couch. The couple was watching a movie, the house was really quiet. Jayda was sleeping, Marchella was doing homework, and Alexia was up in her room coloring.

"I'm taking you out tomorrow." Beck said.

"For what?" Tori asked looking up at him.

"You'll see. My mom's coming over to watch the girls too."

"Okay. I'm gonna go put Lexi to bed," Tori sat up and walked upstairs.

"Hi Momma."

"Hi Lexi-babe."

"Mommy? Why can't I go over Ryder's home?"

"Lex, it's too complicated honey."

"But. Okay." Lexi looked glum.

"Ready for bed?"

"Uh, yeah."

"K, let's go." Tori helped Lexi clean up and walked over to her dresser. She dressed her in a pink nightgown and tucked her in bed. "Good night, love you."

"Love you too." Lexi said. Tori smiled and turned out the light as she left the room.

~The Next Day~

It was around seven at night. Tori was dressed in a black dress with heels and her hair straightened. "Ready babe?" Beck asked.

"Yeah, as soon as you tell me where we're going." Tori laughed.

"You'll see."

After driving for about ten minutes, they pulled into a fancy resturant. Beck got out of the car and opened the other side for Tori.

"Thank you," She said taking his hand and standing up. They walked hand in hand into the resturant and sat at a table.

"Happy anniversary Tori," Beck gave her a red rose and a box. She opened the box, inside was a charm bracelete with a T hanging from it.

"Thank you so much," She leaned across the tavle and gave him a long meaningful kiss.
