Ice Cream for Ke$ha

"Cat, are we really doing this?" I asked, fixing my hair and adjusting my shirt in the awfully pink mirror of Cat's room.

"It'll be FUN!" Cat giggled. I sighed.

"No Cat."

"Why not?" She asked, sticking out her lower lip and looking at me with those gorgeous brown eyes.

"Because it's never fun!" I protested, looking away from her innocent face.

"I'm gonna be there. Beck's gonna be there. Just stay near us!" Cat said, smiling.

"Beck's not going to be there for half of it."

"Jadey, it's a sleepover at Tori's and then we're staying over the next day to help her with the ice cream! You like ice cream. Who doesn't like ice cream?" Cat giggled, grabbing her frilly night bag and walking out the door.

"Me…" I growled under my breath. I sighed and picked up my black overnight bag and followed Cat out to her car.

Once we were in, me driving, since I like getting to places in one piece, and Cat in the passenger seat, I told Cat a secret.

"Cat?" I mumbled, looking at my lap.

"Yeah Yeah?" Cat giggled.

"If I tell you something, promise not to tell Tori or Andre or Robbie or Trina?" I asked.

Cat looked at her lap and twirled her hair before answering.

"Kay."

"Me and Beck love Ke$ha, so I was thinking it'd be a nice birthday present to win him a private concert. I started the contest even before Tori and Andre started, and I got every letter except the $, and then I gave up for a little bit, but when I was just randomly eating a pint of ice cream this morning, I got the $ but didn't tell Beck yet because if me and Beck won it, it was just going to be me and him, because it was my present. But now that Tori needs it for whatever, I don't feel bad for taking it from her, but Beck might. And yeah. And I really don't want to help Tori because what if Tori finds all the letters? I don't have enough money to get Beck a gift. My dad has been taking every cent I earn for him, and I have nothing. The lemonade I got Beck last year was lame. But a private concert, just me and him would be amazing…" I said, tapping on the steering wheel.

"Oh…" Cat said, looking at the teddy bear in her lap.

"What should I do? I guess even Tori doesn't deserve being a slave to Trina to a month, and Andre isn't a bad guy, so it might be nice for him. But Beck's an amazing boyfriend, and I'd feel so guilty not getting him anything."

"I don't know Jadey." Cat said as we pulled up to Tori's house.

"Well, I have the K, E, $, H, and A in my overnight bag just in case I want to give it to Tori. Or submit it under my name for Beck."

"Okay. I guess we'll just wait and see." Cat said, hopping out of the car and skipping up to the door.

I sighed and grabbed both of our bags and followed Cat. I shoved the bag in her hands just as Tori answered the door.

"Hey guys!" She said.

"Hey Hey!" Cat said, giving Tori a hug.

"Whatever." I mumbled, pushing past her and setting my bag by the door before plopping on her couch.

"Sure Jade, you can come in!" Tori said sarcastically.

"I don't need your invitation Vega." I snapped.

"Jaaddee," Cat whined.

I sighed. "Sorry."

"It's fine, whatcha guys wanna do?" Tori asked.

"Let's watch a movie!" Cat giggled.

"Whatever."

"Okay!"

"The movies you wanted are in my bag Cat," I said, grabbing some chips out of a bowl on the coffee table.

"I'll get them, and don't eat chips Jade! How bout we get a head start on ice cream!" Tori said.

Ice cream…wait! Shit!

"Tori! Don't go in my-"

"Jade? What are these letters? You have all five!" Tori shrieked.

"Bag…" I trailed all, palming my forehead.

Tori grabbed the clean red letters and spread them in a fan. She looked at me.

"When did you plan on telling us?" She giggled happily.

"I-I, uh. I don't know." I sighed in defeat. Even I, Jade West, couldn't ruin 5 of my friend's happiness. And Beck would still get his concert...only it wouldn't be quite from me…

"OMG! We should call in!" Tori squealed.

"Yay!" Cat laughed, clapping her hands.

Tori grabbed the phone and started dialing a number she looked like she memorized.

"Hi! Uh, is this the ice-cream for Ke$ha? Yes! We found all 5 letters! Thank you…my address is…"

I rubbed my temples. What was I going to do for Beck now? Cat must've seen my stressed face and sat by me.

"I can lend you some money if you need to get Beck something," Cat whispered.

I shook my head. "Thanks, but his birthdays in two days and I don't have time or any idea of what I'm going to get him."

"Oh. Okay. Maybe I can talk to Tori?" Cat offered.

"Nah, it's okay. I just kind of want to go home," I said, standing up.

"Aw, Jade," Cat said. Her eyes started watering.

"I don't feel good," I lied.

"Okay. Call me when you get home," Cat smiled. I nodded and left the room.

When I got home, I glanced at my phone.

From: Cat

You will be pleasantly surprised. I talked to Tori, and she's still going to take Trina to the concert and everyone else. It's at Tori's house in two days. I HIGHLY suggest you come. Actually, you don't have a choice. I already talked to Beck. He's taking you over.

I sighed. Was this Tori's idea to make it worse on me by making the concert on Beck's birthday? She was going to get it…

2 days later…

I stood outside of Beck's RV after school with a lame wooden cross necklace in my hand. I got it for 10 bucks in the cash register line at the pharmacy and it was pretty lame, but all I could afford.

"Hey babe," Beck grinned, hugging me.

"Hey. Happy birthday," I said, kissing him softly.

"Let's go in," he smiled.

"I got you something," I said, biting my lip as I pulled it out of my pocket.

Beck clearly wasn't overjoyed at my gist, but smiled anyways and put it on.

"Thank you," HE said, giving me a peck on the lips.

I sighed. I once again fail at the whole girlfriend thing.

"So…we gonna leave for Tori's concert soon?" Beck asked.

TORI'S concert. "Yeah." I said through gritted teeth.

"It's great she found the letters with Cat the night before, huh? Saved us a lot of time," Beck grinned.

Oh. Cat and Tori were the ones that spent over a week clawing through ice cream. RIIIGHT.

"Yeah."

"Ready to go?" Beck asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be."

We drove to Tori's house in Beck's truck. Once we got there, there was a tour bus parked out front along with Cat, Andre, and Robbie's cars. A big banner hung from the door that said, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECK!' In big blue letters.

"That was really sweet of them," Beck grinned, looking at the poster.

I sunk in my seat. "Uh huh."

We walked up to the door awkwardly. Beck seemed to be mesmerized by all the balloons and birthday decoration in the front lawn. That TORI set up. Angel she was.

"Hey guys!" Tori grinned, opening the door. She gave me a wink and let us in.

I closed my eyes and expected to see more 'Happy birthday love your future girlfriend Tori' stuff everywhere. I was about to open my eyes when I was swept off my feet.

"Thank you so much babe!" Beck said, placing kisses all over me. I responded, but I was confused. What did I do?

Once he set me down, I looked around. Above where Ke$ha was performing, a banner hung that said "Happy Birthday to the Best Boyfriend Ever!" Not something that sounded like me, but Beck didn't seem to care. A poster that hung on the wall had pictures of me and Beck's sweetest moments all over it. Beck dragged me over and he awed over them.

"Hey Beck. Not only did Jade come last night and help set this up, but were you wondering how we got the letters so fast?" Tori said coming up behind us.

I stared at her dazed. "Yeah, how did you get the letters so fast?" Beck asked.

"Jade's been collecting them for weeks without anyone knowing. She came last night demanding that we throw a huge birthday celebration for you," Tori grinned. Beck looked at me with that goofy smile of his.

"Thanks so much babe and I thought you were seriously just getting me that shitty necklace," he said, leaning down to kiss me.

Shitty necklace. Ow. That hurt.

YAY! I like this one!

HAHA! Let's get to 168 reviews!

Love yall!
