Chapter Twenty-Four

It's Not Cheating, Right?

Beck was finishing up a small scene he had to do for his stunts double, Orlando Bloom, and was told he could go home early. He was excited because he and Cat were going out to dinner that night and he was going to give her the ring he bought her. He was quite happy and nervous at the same time. He hoped the ring fit, even though she had told him her ring size. What if she didn't like it? He thought it was her personality though. It was a small, but still decent size ring shaped in a heart with silver band. Jade assured him that Cat would approve, so let's hope she was right.

As he was changing in the dressing booth out of the clothes and back into his own, the curtain suddenly pulled back. He blushed. "Um, this is taken." He said as the female co-star of the movie smiled flirtatiously at him.

"I know." She said as she walked in and shut the curtain behind her.

Beck's heart raced. Alyssa Vaughn was hot and he used to have a huge crush on her in high school, but when he began dating Cat, every other woman on the planet left his mind. "Um…I need to get dressed. I'm taking my fiancée out tonight." He said nervously as Alyssa didn't stop walking towards him. "Alyssa, back off. I'm engaged."

Alyssa did nothing, except wrap her arms around his neck and lean on him, making him lose his balance and fall back on the bench behind him. She straddled his waist. "What's the hurry, Beckett?" She whispered on his face. "I'm sure your little girlfriend isn't as attractive as me." She purred, running her hands up and down his toned bare chest.

Beck felt horrid. This was wrong…Cat…it was Cat. He was in love with Cat. He was engaged to Cat. He can't be doing this. But when Alyssa put her lips on his gently, running her nails through his hair the way he liked it when Cat did it, he couldn't help himself when he kissed back. They both were moaning into the kiss, feeling nothing, but pure lust. It wasn't love, obviously, but it was something Beck seemed to be falling into so bad. He was running his hands up and down her sides. He felt one of Alyssa's hands leave, but her other one was pleasuring him more than enough.

Her phone was on silent…so he didn't hear the snap, snap, snap of the pictures she was taking of the two of them. She was getting some of him and her making out, Beck kissing her neck as she smiled at the camera, and when she was nibbling on his lip. She put her phone away and tried to take her dress off, but Beck stopped her. She glared to Beck, who snapped out of his daze. "What's the problem?" She growled.

Beck gently pushed her off of him and he started to get dressed into his clothes. "No. No, I'm sorry, but that was wrong. What just happened should NOT have happened."

"Come on, Becky, you know you felt something." She whispered as she pushed him against the wall behind him.

"I felt nothing, but lust, Alyssa." He pushed her away again and put on his shirt and buttoned up his pants. "I can't betray my fiancée this way." And with that, he left the dressing room, fixing his hair on the way out.

Alyssa smirked, texting her photos to all the editors of every magazine in the world.

…

Beck cursed himself all the way to his apartment. He couldn't believe he did that. What the hell was he thinking? He knows he's a guy, who totally finds girl like Alyssa Vaughn attractive and sexy, but he was engaged to not only the flawless and most beautiful girl on the planet, but the kindest and most loving woman anyone could ever meet! How could he cheat on her like that?

"It wasn't cheating." He tried to convince himself. "It wasn't even 5 minutes that we were making out…no, it wasn't. We didn't do anything else. It wasn't cheating. It was nothing." And it wasn't anything he was planning on telling Cat ever. If it wasn't anything, then why should he tell her? He shouldn't. It would only hurt her, but then she'd understand that it was absolutely meaningless and forgive him, so what's the point in even going through all of that? There wasn't.

Beck smiled. "It wasn't cheating."

WHAT'S NEW ON TheSLAP?

Cat Valentine: YAY! BECK PROPOSED (again) AND I HAVE THE RING! YES! Mood: Engaged :)

Beck Oliver: I still don't understand what's the big damn deal about a stupid ring? Whatever. Cat's happy, so the world is happy. Mood: Relieved

Tori Vega: AHHH! CAT I WANNA SEE THE ROCK! LEMME SEE! Mood: Excited!

Andre Harris: Congrats to my Lil' Red and Best Friend…but Beck, if you break her heart, I'll rip your vocal chords out. Mood: HATING HOMEWORK

Robbie Shapiro: UGH! Why, Cat? WHY? I LOVE YOU! …Beck, please don't kill me for saying that. Mood: Sigh…

Jade West: Oh, Beck Oliver…you're dead. Mood: Pissed

…

Cat was sitting upside down on the couch in the living room of the apartment she shared with Beck and Andre, staring and staring at the engagement ring Beck gave to her the night before at BF Wang's. She kept smiling and she just couldn't stop. How did she get so blessed? Sure, it took her falling off the stairs and a huge argument between the two to get Beck to buy the stupid ring, but in the end, she was treated like a princess.

The ring was perfect too.

Beck came out of the bathroom, seeing Cat on the couch while Andre was doing homework on the kitchen table. He chuckled. "Cat, you're still looking at that thing." He teased as he walked into the bedroom to throw his towel in the hamper. "It's a ring."

"It's the best piece of jewelry I've ever received in my whole life!" Cat screeched, but then smirked. "Well…there was that diamond necklace one of my boyfriends from high school gave me. It was apparently very expensive, but he wanted to spoil me." She heard Beck groaned from the room from annoyance. He absolutely hated hearing about Cat's ex-boyfriends…especially when Cat had liked them back. She smiled. This was kind of fun. "What was his name? Oh, I forgot. It was someone you never liked. Hmm…"

"Kyle." Andre answered, still writing.

"That's who it was!" Cat snapped her fingers. "How'd you remember that, Andre?"

"Because that was the best time ever, since that was after Jade and Beck broke up, and all of the sudden you had a new boyfriend giving you a bunch of gifts…it was awesome because Beck kept whining and sulking about how he wished he was Kyle because he was in love with you. You made it even BETTER because you and Kyle were kissing EVERYWHERE." Andre chuckled. "Best month of our high school lives."

"Hey, Andre, why don't you go play with yourself?" Beck called from the room. Eventually Beck came out, his hair still wet, and he leaned down to Cat and kissed her lips. "You're being silly."

"I don't care." Cat cooed. "I still have the ring and I'm going to treat it like it's my lifeline."

"You better. That teeny, tiny ring cost a freaking fortune." Beck muttered, going into the kitchen. "What do you want for lunch, babe?"

"Turkey sandwich with tomatoes on the side!" She called back. "PLEASE?"

"Anything you want." Beck said, opening the fridge. "Andre, want one?"

"Sure." Andre said, pulling at his dreads at his calculus homework.

BANG, BANG, BANG

Cat looked up from her spot to the front door that was being banged on. "Poor door. Always so abused." She said in a small voice as Andre went to the front door and Beck stepped out of the kitchen and going near Cat, just in case. Andre opened the door and suddenly was pushed back when Jade came stomping in, holding a rolled up magazine in her hand, and glaring daggers at Beck. Cat rolled off the couch and smiled to Jade. "Jade! Jade! Look at my engagement ring!"

"Cat, we need to talk." She growled, still glaring to Beck, who was confused as hell. "In private. Now." She reached over to Cat, grabbing the girl's wrist with a bruising grip and pulling her into the bedroom.

"Jade, do you want a sandwich?" Beck asked, trying to be polite.

"Not from you, asshole!" And then she slammed the door, locking it.

Beck turned to Andre, who was confused as well. "What the hell was that all about?" Andre asked in shock.

"It's Jade, so hell if I know." Beck sighed, running his hands through his hair before heading back to the kitchen, while Andre locked the door, going back to his homework. About 10 minutes later, Beck and Andre were eating, while Cat's plate was waiting. The bedroom door opened and Beck smiled to Cat, but when he saw her crying and Jade carrying her suitcase and duffle bag, along with Cat's purse, he stood up. "What the hell is going on?" He asked in alarm. Cat just walked up to him, slapping his face. Beck backed up a few steps and looked to his fiancée, hurt at her actions and confused of why she just slapped him. "Cat?" He whispered in fear. "What's going on?"

Cat shoved the magazine Jade had been holding into his hands. "Read that…or just look at the pictures." She said in a deep voice.

Beck looked to the two pages the magazine was open to and his heart dropped. "No…"

Pictures and pictures on the two pages of him and Alyssa Vaughn, making out in the dressing room. He was kissing her lips, her neck, his hands running up and down her body, and one of Alyssa biting his lip. False words of paragraphs were around the pictures. The title of the story: ALYSSA'S NEW AFFAIR WITH STUNTS DOUBLE. And then it had a picture of Beck and Cat, saying how Beck cheated on the "Los Angeles' Snow Miracle", who was his fiancée.

Beck wanted to throw up as he dropped the magazine. Andre ran over and picked it up, looking at the story that was causing friction in the household. "Cat." Beck said in a raspy voice. "I'm so sorry."

Cat did something that shattered his heart.

She held her left hand up, making sure he saw her taking off her engagement ring, and she grabbed his hand, slamming the tiny ring back in his palm. "All those lies of telling me you loved me and how you always wanted to protect me was just bunch of bullshit. You sick man. I thought you loved me and were completely faithful to me. I've always been faithful to you, yet this is what you do. And now I'm humiliated in front of the WORLD." She shook her head, letting her tears fall again. "There's nothing you can do to fix this. We're over. Forever."

Beck remained speechless as Cat and Jade left with all of Cat's belongings…she walked out of his apartment and his life. Forever.

Beck collapsed to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably. "Why did I do it? SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! WHY DID I DO IT? Dammit, I hate myself! I hate myself! I cheated on the most perfect girl God has ever created and blessed me with, yet I cheat on her? OH MY GOD, WHY DID I DO THIS?" He fell face first onto the wood floor, practically throwing a tantrum. "I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER! I CAN'T DO IT! OH MY GOD, WHY DID I KISS HER? WHY DID I DO IT?"

Andre kneeled down next to him and pat his shoulder. "Man, I know why. It's all lust, Beck. I'm going to be honest here…you'll never know how many times both Jade and I cheated on each other when we were together. It was such an unhealthy relationship, but that made no difference. It's all lust, man. Alyssa Vaughn is smoking hot, yeah, but she's nothing compared to Cat Valentine. You have to fix this, Beck."

"HOW?" Beck looked up at him. "She hates me! I don't blame her either!"

Andre sighed deeply. "If you love her like you say you do…then don't let her go."

"I've hurt her so many times, do I really deserve another chance?" Beck asked in a tiny voice.

"You're a great guy, Beck." Andre told him. "You deserve a great girl, who is Cat. You two are meant to be. You have to fight for her though."

Beck nodded, but whimpered. "Cat…"
