Chapter Twenty-One

Stupid Jade

Everything was peace in quiet within the apartment shared with three people –Andre, Beck, and Cat- as the clock changed to the late/early hour of 2am. Cat was snuggled up, protectively, in Beck's arms. Andre was sprawled out on his bed, snoring. It was dark in the apartment, except for the small nightlight in Beck's room that Cat wanted in there, still traumatized by the darkness from the cellar. The bathroom light was on as well, and the door opened a crack, so nobody would fall on their faces or run into something if they had to pee. It was sweet dreams and safety for the three of them that night…well…it was until someone decided to be stupid and wake them up.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

BANG, BANG, BANG

CLANK

The lock falling off the door was heard.

SLAM

The front door was now slammed open.

Andre fell out of bed when he jumped up in shock and ran out of his room. Beck grabbed his baseball bat in the corner as Cat sat straight up in bed, under the covers still. "Stay here!" Beck snarled to her as he ran out of the room. Andre had a flashlight as Beck came out next to him, ready to defend his home and his precious fiancée. "Who the hell is here?" Beck yelled out with venom, not scared at all. He wasn't afraid to slam the bat into someone's skull for putting Cat in danger.

"ME, YOU DAMN IDIOT!"

Beck sighed in relief as Andre pointed the flashlight in the direction of the couch. Jade was laying on it, looking like she meant to collapse onto it. "Jade, you evil witch!" Beck yelled, throwing the bat aside. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" He asked, turning the light switch for the living room on.

"Damn, girl, you broke the doorknob!" Andre shouted, picked up the used to be doorknob.

Cat came out of the bedroom, trembling and shaky. "Jade?" She asked in a small voice.

Jade just groaned loudly.

Beck shook his head in frustration, absolutely pissed, but tried to remain calm in front of his young future bride. "Cat, go back to bed and try to sleep." He ordered. "You have to get up early."

Cat shook her head. "No. I can't sleep without you."

"Then put a movie on, baby." He tried to comfort her. "I'll be there in a minute."

Cat nodded and went back into the room, not closing the door behind her.

Beck glared back to Jade, who forced herself to look over to him and Andre, both angry. "Dude, or dudes…I have to get out of that damn apartment. I can't live with that Latina bitch anymore."

"So you go get drunk and come break into our home." Beck asked, trying not to kill her. "How dare you put fear into Cat again."

"It's Cat's fault!" Jade yelled.

"IS NOT!" Cat yelled from the room.

"IS TO!" Jade snapped back.

"Don't talk to my fiancée that way!" Beck yelled, losing his cool. "How the bloody hell is this Cat's fault?"

"If she didn't move out of our apartment and forced me to have Vega as a roommate JUST so she can come here and have sex with you every night, I WOULDN'T BE LIKE THIS!" Jade growled out. "So Cat has to move back!"

Beck and Andre looked back at each other and then burst out laughing. "Cat's not going anywhere with you, West!" Beck laughed out. "You're stupid for even saying something so unrealistic!"

"Cat is so safer and protected here with us, so get over it!" Andre kept laughing with Beck.

"Shut up!" Jade stood up, but fell over onto her face, suddenly snoring.

The boys made no move to help her.

"What are we going to do about the door, Beck?" Andre asked, motioning to the front door with no protection on it. "We can't leave it unlocked like that. It's like putting a sign out there, saying "Come on in!", which would be extremely bad for us."

"You think?" Beck ran his hands through his hair and sighed deeply. "This was so not what I wanted to wake up to. I have to get up in a few hours and take Cat to her dance class." He growled. "I don't know. Let's put the couch in front of it."

"What if someone needs to get in?" Andre asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Andre, who else comes over besides Cat and Robbie?" Beck asked in annoyance.

"True statement." Andre and Beck each took a side and lifted the couch with trouble and pushed it in front of the front door, making sure nobody was able to get in. "Alright, man, I need to go back to bed. I have to get up early to finish my homework."

"Thank God I copied off Cat's." Beck yawned. "Alright, man, night."

"Night." Andre peeked into Beck's bedroom, where Cat had her eyes open and she was vaguely watching Tangled. "Good night, again, Lil' Red."

Cat giggled. "Night, big bro."

Andre smiled and then left, letting Beck come in. "I'm sorry Jade scared you." He told her, crawling back into bed and she immediately jumped back into his arms. "You're shaking, babe."

Cat shrugged. "Beck…"

"Hmm?"

"I can't sleep." She mumbled, her eyes fixated on the movie. "I'm too afraid now."

Beck sighed deeply, wanting to go kicked Jade onto the street. "That's okay. We can stay up and watch the movie until you fall back asleep."

"Kay-Kay." She whispered.

Beck kissed her head and rubbed his hand up and down her back to calm her nerves, but she was still shaking with fear. Suddenly, he heard her whimpering and tears falling on his bare chest. He sighed. "Oh, babygirl." He whispered as she cried softly. "Ssshhh, it's okay. I have you. You're safe with me." He continued to tell her soothing words, but she kept crying. He saw her eyes still watching the movie and he laid his head on hers, not knowing what to do to help her. No matter who it was, the break in caused by Jade obviously gave Cat a few flashbacks of that awful night.

Her breathing was getting uneven and she was crying a bit louder. "Beck…" Her voice cried out quietly, sounding broken and absolutely terrified.

He had enough. He sat straight up, bringing her up with him, and picked her up, as he sat on the side of the bed. He set her in his lap, rocking her back and forth, but she could still see the movie. Cat had her hands clenched together until her knuckles were white, while Beck continued to hold her tightly, rocking her softly back and forth. About an hour into the movie, Cat was still crying. It hadn't ceased or eased up, which was worrying Beck.

"I love you, Beck." She suddenly spoke.

He rubbed her back. "I love you too."

What happened next shocked him.

Cat stood up from his grasp, but turned herself around, sitting back on his lap, straddling him. She softly began kissing his lips passionately, no longer crying. She held his head with both hands, keeping him still. Beck had no choice, but to kiss back. He knew this wasn't a good idea, but he couldn't stop her. If he did, she would assume he didn't want to be with her anymore and that'd be hard to get out of.

Somehow they were back to laying on the bed normally with Cat on top of him. She reached for the remote and turned off the TV without breaking contact with Beck's lips. She eventually left his lips and trailed down his neck, sucking and biting. He groaned, loving the feeling. "Cat." Her name slipped from his lips caused by the pleasure she was giving to him for no reason. Sure, it was almost 3:30am now, but whatever made Cat feel better. He slipped one of his hands up her shirt while she bit down harshly on his neck, giving him a deep red love-bite.

"Cat."

He received no answer as she continued her mission.

"Cat, are you sure you want to do this?" He asked her, not wanting the sensation to stop, but he had to make sure she was really okay.

Cat sat up and stared at him, so he removed his hand from her shirt. "Beck…I feel so unbeautiful."

"Why?"

"We haven't made love in over a month." Cat began crying again. "I feel that I don't attract you anymore."

"You do." Beck tried to convince her. "Oh, Cat, you do, trust me. I'm just worried about you."

"Beck, I promise you with all my heart that Josh didn't touch me. He didn't do anything." Cat sniffled. "He didn't taint me. I'm still yours and only yours."

"Cat-"

Before anything could be said, Cat jumped off him and ran to the bathroom. Beck ran after her, but she locked the door. He heard her using the toilet, so he didn't panic. He leaned against the wall next to the door, sighing deeply. How was he going to fix this? It couldn't keep going on like the way it was. What could he do though? He didn't know how to make her feel better. Before everything that happened, everything he did she loved it. Now…he felt he didn't even know her anymore. The strong bond they always shared…it was breaking.

That's what killed him the most.

…

Knowing Beck was extremely exhausted from staying up most of the night, comforting her, Cat turned his alarm clock off and set it for an hour before he had to go to class. She left a note after getting ready, explaining she wanted him to rest a little longer and she'll meet him in class. She knew he was going to be absolutely pissed that once again she snuck a pillow in his arms so he could think it was her, but she shrugged it off. She needed to go to her dance class now. She left without eating, admiring the sight of Jade still laying on the floor. She had difficulty, but eventually made it out the front door with the couch in front of it still. It's a good thing she's a tiny girl, or that would've been harder than it already was.

She took a taxi to the school, giving the man the money before rushing into the gym and towards the dance room. Mrs. Waller wasn't there yet, so she plugged her iPod in and was going to start warming up when she saw she was 10 minutes early. Suddenly her phone rang so she hurried to answer it. "Hello?" She answered with caution after seeing it was Beck.

"Look, I'm not going to get mad and start yelling. I am remaining calm."

Cat gulped. "That's good."

"I just wanted to know if you made it to class alright." His voice sounded so strained, like he really did want to curse her out for leaving the apartment without him.

"Yes, I'm already here. I'm early, so I'm just going to warm up." Cat told him.

"Okay, good, I'm glad. But next time, I would really appreciate it if you let me drive you. It would make me feel much better. I need you to understand that it's not an option anymore…okay? I just need to know you're safe."

Cat nodded, but realized he couldn't exactly see she was nodding. "Yes, sir…but hey, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning, if you-"

"Just tell me the time and we'll go. Together."

Cat smiled. "Kay-Kay. I better go because I think I hear my teacher coming. Love you. See you in class."

"Love you too, baby."

And they hung up and Cat stashed her phone back in her pocket as Mrs. Waller came in. Cat was surprised when she had two Starbucks cups. She giggled. "Are you trying to stay extra awake today?"

Mrs. Waller had an amused smile as she walked towards Cat, handing her one. "I know you don't like coffee, so I bought you hot chocolate." She said in a kind voice before going to the stereo.

Cat's jaw dropped. "Um…thank you, Mrs. Waller."

"Call me, Nancy." She said, about to press Play. "I think that the strongest student I have ever had should call me by my first name and deserve respect."

Cat could've fainted.

"Now quit gawking and DANCE!"

Some things will never change though…

Preview For Chapter 22: Professor's Prey

When he ran his leg up and down, continued talking, Cat went into her own little conversation in her mind. She didn't want to be rude and walk out, but she wanted to get the hell out of here. "So Miss Valentine, what I'm trying to say is that I think we should work together some time. You can be my assistant."

Cat shook her head. "That's a very kind offer, but I already have my hands full."

"But it could give you extra credit." When his hand when into her inner thigh, Cat jumped up. "Is there a problem?" He asked as he stood up as well.

Cat gulped, grabbing her bag. "No, no, I just need to go." When she went to walk to the door, the professor rushed over and locked it with a loud click. "Professor, I really do need to go." She asked, almost in tears. "My fiancée is waiting for me."

"I just want to talk and…get to know you some more, Caterina." He said in a scary voice, walking closer to her.

Random Fact about DA: I used to weight under 100 pounds before I became pregnant…when I was pregnant I went up to 130…and now after having him…I'm at 112. So now I don't want to have any more kids because I'm scared I'll gain even more weight.
