A Christmas Tori

I groaned.

"Beck wake up!"

"Ah! Gah. Sorry." Beck said, regaining control of the car that was gradually drifting off the highway.

"Why are you so sleepy?" I asked, fingering my coffee cup.

"There's a stupid cricket in my RV and I can't find it anywhere!" Beck said. I looked at him. He had dark circles under his eyes and was yawning every two seconds.

"Come sleep at my house," I offered.

Beck winced. "Your dad will shoot me in the middle of the night if he finds me in your bed."

I nodded. "Why don't you sleep in your parents' house?"

"I don't want to. Listening to them fight is worse than a cricket," Beck muttered.

I sighed and took a sip out of my cup. I wanted to help him, but he was right. My dad would murder him, and his parents fought all night (why he got the RV).

"Anyways, it's almost Christmas," Beck smiled, grabbing my hand with the one that wasn't on the steering wheel and rubbed my fingers.

"Ugh. Don't remind me." I muttered.

"Why are you a Grinch?" Beck asked.

"Everyone's too happy. And it's cold and miserable."

"We live in California. Its 55 degrees and sunny in the winter."

"Still."

"I got you a special surprise," Beck grinned.

"Can't wait." I muttered sarcastically.

"Aw. Why aren't you excited?" Beck asked.

"Do you remember what you got me last Christmas?"

"I got you a Santa Teddy bear."

"I hate teddy bears."

"You hate everything."

"I like sex."

"I know."

"Can you get me that for Christmas?"

"…we'll see."

LINE BREAK

So Beck was asleep in class…AGAIN. Sikowitz had just announced that we would be getting secret Santa assignments.

Mine better be Beck.

I might hurt someone if it was Robbie or Tori.

"Beck!" I shouted, waking my sleeping boyfriend.

"Ah! Shoot sorry," Beck murmured, jolting awake. I rolled my eyes. I was going to murder that stupid cricket, because he was constantly asleep!

"I have an idea," I grinned.

I dragged Beck out with me to his car. He was about to get in the driver's seat when I jumped in front of him.

"Passenger seat." I ordered. He nodded sleepily.

"Where are we going?" Beck asked when I skipped the turn to go to both his and my house.

"To meet one of my family members you haven't met." I said, taking a turn into a dirty, graffiti-filled alley.

"Jade. You do realize that 75% of your family is in jail, and the other 25%, including you, has been in jail at some point." Beck said; worry filling his face when he saw gangs walking on sidewalks and fights breaking out in the middle of the street.

"Yeah. The person I'm taking you to just got out of jail for murder like a month ago." I mumbled.

"Jade!"

"Chill. He's cool. His names Raymond. Call him Ray. Nothing else unless you want your face rearranged." I grinned. I pulled into a parking lot of a café. Beck sighed in relief that I wasn't going to a tattoo parlor or piercing place.

I hopped out of the car and dragged Beck past a few thugs who were cursing at each other. We went into the beat down café and went to the front counter.

"Ray!" I screamed.

Beck looked around nervously. There was some people dealing drugs in the corner, and they were testing guns on the wall in another, so I could tell he didn't want to be here. Honestly, neither did I, but I had Raymond to protect me.

"Jay!" Raymond said, coming out of the back room with a cigarette in his mouth.

Me and Beck had tried smoking together, but both of us hated it and agreed to never to it again.

"I need your biggest 'energy boost' coffee," I said, putting air quotes around energy boost.

"Gotcha. Is it for you or your man friend?" Raymond asked.

"Which one of us looks like we need the pick-me-up?" I asked.

"Man-friend. Do you want some of our energy boost powder to go so you can whip him up some more?" Raymond asked.

I nodded.

In case you haven't picked up, 'energy boost' powder was an illegal drug Raymond got from some dealer in Chile. It looks like protein powder, so health inspectors don't really notice. It worked good, and should keep Beck awake.

Raymond came back a second later with a huge cup of steaming coffee.

"Remember to put less and less of the powder every day," HE reminded me. I nodded and gave Beck the coffee who was looking at me suspiciously.

We left the café and drove back to the other side of town to Beck's RV.

"Do I want to know what's in this?" Beck asked, eyeing the coffee.

"Drink it." I ordered, tipping the cup back. He took a deep breath and took a big gulp. I raised my eyebrows and he looked at me.

"This is good. A little too good." Beck said.

"Enjoy it while it lasts. I gotta get home. I just remembered the mess I left in the living room and my dad's gonna kill me if it's not clean when he gets home." I said, grabbing my jacket and getting up.

"I love you," Beck said, giving me a peck on the lips.

"I love you too, now get some sleep." I said, wrapping my arms around him before waving goodbye.

LINE BREAK

"Jade I'm so tired," Beck moaned over the phone the next morning.

"Suck it up. I'm bringing more coffee with me," I said, pouring the coffee from the coffee maker into a mug and then pouring the 2 teaspoons of powder in. A little more slipped in, but oh well.

"Did you get your secret Santa assignment?" Beck asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Not yet."

"You'll probably get it soon then."

"Eh. Who'd you get?" I asked, stepping in to my car and placing the hot coffee in the cup holder.

"I can't tell you!"

"Why not?"

"Then it wouldn't be a secret!" Beck said. I rolled my eyes.

"Well I'm almost at your house." I said, turning the street.

"Okay see you in a few."

I placed my phone down and pulled into Beck's driveway and honked the car horn.

Beck opened his RV door and walked like a zombie out of the car.

"Here's coffee." I said, giving him the cup. He sipped it and immediately looked better.

"The crickets still in there?" I asked, starting my drive to school.

"Yeah," He said, scratching his head.

We drove in silence a few moments before my phone rang.

"Can you grab that?"

"Yeah…it's from Sikowitz. Your secret Santa is Robbie," Beck said.

I groaned. "You're kidding right?"

"Yeah. Your secret Santa's Andre." Beck grinned, and threw my phone in my lap. I rolled my eyes as we pulled up to the school.

"What the hell am I going to get Andre?" I asked.

"I don't know."

"You're his best friend! You should know." I said, opening the door to school. We headed over to my locker first.

"He likes music."

"No dip. He already had every musical instrument known to man."

"Uh…I don't know!"

"Who's you secret Santa?" I asked, pouting my lips.

"You'll find out with everyone else." Beck said, tapping my nose and then turning to his locker.

I scrunched my face up and followed him.

"EVERYONE! ATTENTION PLEASE!" Robbie screamed.

"What?" I yelled.

"I need Cat Valentine!"

"I'm Cat Valentine!" Cat giggled.

Robbie made a motion and a cotton candy machine rolled in from the side.

"Merry Christmas Cat from your secret Santa!" Robbie said proudly. I raised my eyebrows. That was a good one.

"That's nice." Beck smiled.

"Yeah." I agreed. I saw Tori bite her lip and glance over at us, before nervously stepping toward us.

"Uh hey Beck, Jade." Tori smiled.

"What?" I said, leaning into Beck who put an arm around me.

Tori looked nervous. "W-Well…uh, I'm Beck's secret Santa, and I came to give him his gift," Tori smiled, mainly looking at me to see if I was going to claw her.

"Go ahead." I said slowly.

Tori smiled and pulled out a gift bag from behind her. She handed it to Beck and Beck opened it. He pulled out two tickets to a play that he was dying to see that was super expensive to get into. Beck grinned.

"Thanks Tor." He said, and gave her a quick hug.

I however, was not pleased. My Christmas gift to Beck was the same exact thing.

"Uh..yeah. I knew you were dying to see it, and I actually got the tickets for free because my dad has a friend who works there…but yeah. I got two so you can take Andre or Jade or Robbie," Tori smiled.

"Thanks! This is like, the best gift I've gotten this year." Beck grinned.

I gave Tori a sarcastic smile and turned around. So now I paid $300 for tickets I can't return, and I have to get Beck a new present. I'll just sell the tickets on EBay or something.

"Hey, what was that all about?" Beck said, coming up behind me.

"Nothing." I responded.

"If you don't want to come to the play I can take Andre." Beck said.

I shook my head. "I want to come."

"Oh. Okay. Maybe we can go out to dinner before too?" Beck offered. I nodded.

"Sounds great."

"Mr. P! Please! My song doesn't deserve a D!" Andre pouted, walking by us. When the teacher ignored his he groaned.

"What's wrong man?" Beck asked.

"I got a D on my song for advanced songwriting!" Andre said.

"The really good one?" I said. I was honestly shocked.

"Yeah!"

I grinned. I was getting Andre an A for Christmas. Now…where's Cat?

LINE BREAK

Sinjin gave me and Cat thumbs up to ensure all the sound checks were ready. I turned to Cat and nodded and she turned on our mics. We were wearing Santa outfits that probably shouldn't be worn in school, and we were getting ready to perform Andre's song. Robbie came up with Mr. P, and I started talking.

"Everybody! Shut up!" I screamed. All of the students in the hall turned to me and Cat who was waving.

"Mr. P gave Andre a D in songwriting." I said plainly.

Everybody was murmuring and Andre groaned.

"Well, do you think this song deserves a D?" I said. I turned around and took off the coat I was wearing. Sinjin started the music and me and Cat danced and twirled to the music.

The song was actually really good, so I hoped this worked.

"It's not Christmas, without, Yoooou." ME and Cat finished.

WE got a roaring applause and I looked around. Andre was grinning, and Mr. P looked impressed.

Beck was standing in between Andre and Robbie, and his cheeks were flushed and he was putting his arms in front of his no-no area to hide a certain bump.

"Now, Mr.P. Does that song deserve a D? And if you say yes, I will get scissors and hurt you in the middle of the night." I said, crossing my arms.

"It was good." Mr. P admitted.

"How good?"

"A good." He nodded. Andre smiled and jumped in the air and ran over to give me and Cat a giant hug. I pushed him away.

"Merry Christmas from your Secret Santa." I said quickly.

I walked over to Beck, who looked like he wanted to go home, for various reasons. He looked a mix between super horny and really tired. Two things that normally don't go together. I decided it was best to go back to his RV, so I grabbed his hand and led him back to my car.

"I told you I'm going to Canada for Christmas, right?" Beck yawned. I paused.

"No."

"Oh…must have been too tired to remember," he smiled lazily.

"No dip," I said, slapping the back of his head and jumping in the car.

"But yeah. We're leaving in two days." Beck said. I started driving and a frown crossed my face.

"Do you have to?" I whined. Beck smiled.

"I think that would be best."

I pouted my lip. "So now I have to spend Christmas alone?"

"What about your dad?"

I gave him a sarcastic laugh followed by a glare. "Joy."

Beck had a small smile on his lips. We arrived at Beck's RV and he ran in front of me and quickly unlocked the door, and then closed it on me, and locked it again. I pounded angrily on the thin metal sheet I could probably kick down if I put some effort in it.

"Beck! What the hell!" I screamed.

"One second my dear!" Beck shouted from inside. I tapped my foot impatiently and listened carefully, but I couldn't make out anything.

A few moments later Beck opened the door breathless and smiled.

"Come in my love," he grinned.

"Sap. What was the big deal abo- Beck?" I screamed. I walked in and the RV was covered top to bottom in paper snowflakes. Beck had somehow set a miniature Christmas tree that had five or six presents under it and I could smell coffee brewing and gingerbread cookies almost done baking.

"Merry Christmas," Beck murmered. He pointed above the doorway where conviently hung mistletoe was. I rolled my eyes and leaned in to kiss him.

"So. I decided since your going to have a lousy December 25, I can at least try to make it up to you by changing the date of Christmas to December 18," Beck grinned.

I glanced around the RV once more. This literally looked like something out of an Elf movie.

"When did you do this?" I asked.

"Well I figured I wasn't getting any sleep last night, so why not make good use of the time," Beck grinned. I smiled and sat down on the couch. Beck walked over to the mini kitchen and poured a cup of coffee for me and pulled the gingerbread cookies out of the oven. He handed me the food and sat next to me.

"Let's open presents," He grinned.

I nodded, and he got up and grabbed the six presents that were under the tree.

"All for me?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah. 1 from me, 1 from Cat, Andre, Tori, my parents, and your Secret Santa dropped one off too," Beck said.

I raised my eyebrows. "Tori and Andre got me something?"

"Yeah. Andre wanted to get you something as a thanks for writing the song with him awhile ago, and Tori say it's a peace offering."

"Wow. Okay. I guess I'll start with Tori's." I said, looking at the tags to see which one was from her.

"Hold on," Beck said, grabbing his laptop.

"Why?"

"Tori wanted to see your reaction so we're gonna Skype her," Beck grinned. He logged on and called Tori, who picked up a little too fast.

"Hey Beck! Hey Jade!" Tori said. She had a Santa hat on and it looked like Andre was in the back by the piano writing some music. "Woah! Beck! Move the laptop around the RV! I wanna see!" Tori said excitedly. I rolled my eyes and picked up a thong that was lying around on the floor from god-knows-when. After I picked it up Beck rotate the laptop around.

"It looks great! You're one lucky girl Jade!" Tori grinned.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Andre! Jade's opening our presents!" Tori screamed.

Andre ran over. "Hey!"

"Okay Jade. Here's Tori's," Beck said handing me a small rectangular package.

I tried to think of what it could be but no ideas came to mind. I peeled off the wrapping paper and grinned when I saw a complete season of CSI on CD. It had a little note attached that said: If you ever need a way to kill me without getting caught, watch this. –Tori

Tori was beaming ear to ear, but Beck and Andre had worried looks.

"This is amazing. 48 hours of entertainment and a boat load of ideas," I said.

"I was kidding on the note," Tori squeaked.

"Well that takes away half the fun," I sighed, setting the discs down beside me. Beck nudged me and I glared at him, but looked at Tori anyways.

"Thank you Tori."

Tori grinned happily.

"Now do mine!" Andre said. I nodded and Beck handed me another package. It was a very small square. Probably jewelry if I had to guess, which wasn't a bad guess considering Andre's dad was a jeweler. I opened the wrapping paper and a sleek black box was revealed. I opened it, and smiled at Andre. It was a scissor charm for my charm bracelet.

"Thanks 'Dre." I said.

"You like?"

"I love," I said truthfully.

"Awesome."

"Ok. Well thanks you guys! Me and Jade are going to have some alone time now!" Beck smiled. Tori and Andre waved and Beck logged off of the computer.

"Which one next?" Beck asked.

"Cat's."

Beck handed me a large pink bag. I rolled my eyes. Should've guessed.

I pulled a box out of the bag. I opened the box, to reveal another box. Which contained another box. And another box.

"Fuck you Cat," I growled. Beck laughed. I finally got to the last box which was as big as a harry potter book. If she got me a harry potter book I swear I might hurt the girl.

I ran my fingers along the wrapping paper to open it and I pulled out a picture frame of me and Cat in 2nd grade with our moms. I felt tears come to my eyes. My mom died when I was in 2nd grade. Beck wrapped his arms around me.

"That's sweet," He mumbled. I nodded, and set the picture frame gently on the couch. I kicked the boxes and wrapping paper to the ground, and Beck handed me the next present.

"From my parents."

"Wonderful." I muttered. Beck's parents hardly knew me, so I was surprised.

It was a very small bag with a little bit of wrapping paper sticking out. I pulled out the wrapping paper and pulled out a gift card to Forever 21 and some pink lip gloss. I raised my eyebrows at Beck who was stifling a laugh.

Forever 21 wasn't an awful place to shop, they just didn't have a ton of black. But I could find something if I put my mind to it. The pink lip gloss on the other hand was being re-gifted to Cat.

"Tell them thanks," I said simply, and set it by Tori's present.

"Will do. Do you want mine or the Secret Santa's?" Beck asked.

"Surprise me," I said. Beck handed me a long rectangular box that had the engraving of Andre's dad jewelry store on the outside.

"From me." He smiled.

I gave him a peck on the lips and the opened the box. I leaped on top of him and showered him with kisses.

"I take it you like it?" Beck laughed, sitting us up.

"Duh!" I said, pulling out the necklace with green stones all over it.

"What kind of stones are these?" I asked, rubbing them.

"Jade," He laughed. "I think it the most beautiful. And really hard to find," he said, pressing his forehead against mine. I sighed in happiness and took the necklace out of the box. I handed it to him and then pulled my hair out of the way. I felt the heat from his arms wrap around me and set the cool necklace on the base of my throat. I heard a click when he locked it and I turned back to him and rested on his chest.

"This has been the best Christmas ever," I grinned.

"You still have one more present," he said, leaning over to grab the last box.

"Oh yeah."

The card said: To Jade, from your secret Santa.

Not much given away there.

I ripped off the wrapping paper and frowned when a pink Victoria's secret box showed up. I glanced up at Beck, who had a poker face on (damn those actors) and opened it. I was hoping it was a pair of sweatpants or something, because those things were comfortable, but no.

It was a bra. Complete with a thong. Lace and all. I closed the box quickly.

"I swear this is probably from Rex." I said nervously, but Beck didn't look uncomfortable at all.

Beck smiled. "What's the one thing you asked for Christmas?" Beck asked.

I thought. "I didn't really ask for anything."

"Yes you did."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "When?"

"The other day in the car. When you weren't excited when I said I got you the special surprise." Beck said, pointing to the necklace.

"And then you said I hate everything, and I said I like sex. And then I asked for se for Christmas…" I said slowly, looking down at the lingerie in front of me.

"Merry Christmas from your secret Santa," Beck said seductively.

I grinned and grabbed the box.

"I'll be right back," I winked, and ran into the bathroom to change underwear.

That was a long one
