AN: I have a shocker up my sleeve.
You ready?
I finally understand Bade. The reason? I found myself in a situation close to what Jade's might have been before Beck asked her out. I'm still bori though, and I'm NOT abandoning this story.
So, once again, I'm really sorry I'm not updating...:( I might have to put this story on hold for a while, because report cards are coming out soon. I probably won't be updating from April 20th to May 7th. April 20 is my aunt's wedding, and she lives 5 hours away. April 23 is my band concert. May 4 is my play, so until then, I will be up to my knees in ball gowns and ugly stepsisters. My grandparents are coming down and leaving on the 7th. There you have it. You now know my entire agenda. Lolz :)
Oh, and BTW, KONY 2012! He must be stopped!
BigStuOU: Seriously! The bade obsession is kind of stupid.
MakingItShine: Thanks! BTW, your PM made me feel so awesome…this site does wonders for my self-esteem.
CatHeartsU: LOL, coinkidink.
Ribbontail: :)

NSNx: Will he? I hope he does too…LOL
xoILoveMexo: Thanks.
Without further ado, Earth, Rain, and Fire.

Tori was feeling guilty. Beck hadn't gone to school. All. Week. It was all her fault. If she hadn't kissed him…
…
Beck hadn't been to school. All. Week. The reason?
Beck had the stomach flu.
Yes, he had called the director. Yes, he had refused. He had heard that Zac Efron was to take his place. Then he had called Alyssa Vaughan and asked her out to dinner. He had broken up with her. Thankfully, she had not given him a black eye. She had, in fact, asked Beck to take her to the restaurant that had given him food poisoning, which had been punishment enough.
Why hadn't he just called Tori, you ask? What with having a week to himself, he had openly admitted that he was a wuss. After all, he had been afraid to break up with Jade, and afraid to ask Tori out.
Since Beck was feeling better, he had decided to go to school and to stop watching anime on Netflix. After all, there were only 26 episodes of Fruits Basket in English, and he had watched all of them.
…
8 Hours Later
…
Ryder was sick of seeing couples kissing. One here, one there. Whenever he saw one, an image of Beck and Tori kissing replayed in his head.
He was stressed and overworked. He opened the door to the janitor's closet and stepped inside. He pulled a cigarette out of his black jacket. After he had a smoke, he dropped the cigarette on the floor and stormed out the doors of Hollywood Arts.
…
Tori had yet to talk to Beck. He was there today, but she didn't have any classes with him until Sikowitz', which was 4th period. Right after lunch. Lunch was in one minute.
Suddenly, the musical bell rang. Tori swam through the swarm of hungry kids. She had decided to bring her lunch today.
And that was when the alarm sounded.
...
Beck was pacing in a stall of the boy's restroom. Tori was going to be at lunch, and it was likely that she would sit by him. What would it be like? Would she tell them? Would she not tell them? Or worst of all, would she ignore him?
And that was when the alarm sounded.
He slammed open the stall door and pushed open the door. The stampede of kids made it impossible to cross. There was no way he could take that. He whirled around. Suddenly he spotted a window placed high up on the wall above the stall to the far right. He winced and stepped onto the toilet seat. He climbed on the top of the toilet seat. He could just barely reach the window. Smoke wafted into the empty bathroom, Beck knew he had to get out of the burning building. He unlocked the opening and hoisted himself out. When he fell to the ground, he twisted his ankle. Then he saw Robbie and Cat.
"Robbie! Cat!" He yelled. They spotted him quickly.
"Beck! You're okay!" Cat yelled.
"Have you seen anyone else?" Robbie asked.
"No, no one!" Beck replied.
"Beck!" A voice yelled. It was Andre, with Jade slung over his shoulder.
"Jade!" Cat cried out.
"What happened?" Robbie asked.
"She got trampled on by some kids." Andre said.
"But I'll be okay." Jade mumbled.
The five kids stepped back and watched the school burn. Grey smoke encircled the building. "At least we're all okay." Cat remarked.
"Something feels like it's missing, though." Jade replied.
Suddenly Beck realized something was missing. "Tori!"
...
Was that action scene really lame? I'm kind of unhappy with this chapter. Anyways, I'm about to write a one-shot bori songfic to Fix You by Coldplay...or to Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen...not sure yet.
Sorry if the fire scene was really inaccurate. I've never actually been in a fire, so it was kinda tough to write.
R&R! Love y'all!
