Everybody's Fool
Chapter 47: No Pulse
I do NOT own Victorious
Beck had a feeling…and it was currently eating him alive. He didn't say anything to his calm fiancée as she was getting ready to go dress shopping with Jade and Tori. She was excited, so he shouldn't worry her with his bad feeling. He was going to stay home and Andre and Robbie were hanging out as well, and they were waiting for the pizza to get here. They were out in the living room with Anthony as Beck watched Cat put her perfume on her delicate skin. She ran her fingers through her hair once more before turning to Beck, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching her. She smiled softly as he forced a smile. "What's wrong, my boy?" She asked softly as she walked up to him.
Beck shrugged. "Nothing…"
"Don't lie to me, Beck." Cat said firmly.
"Can we talk about it after you get back?" Beck asked. "I don't want your fun to be ruined. It can wait, I promise."
Cat sighed, but nodded and pecked his lips. "Okay." She grabbed her sandals and put them on her feet. "Don't forget that tomorrow we have to go pick up our school books from the bookstore."
"Right." Beck nodded, remembering. "I can't believe junior year is already here."
"It's going to be tricky." Cat told him. "We have an infant son and going to college at the same time? Not to mention working full-time jobs…" She frowned. "I don't like this…maybe I should quit college?"
"No, baby, don't." Beck told her, getting off the bed and walking to her. "Don't quit school. We can make this work. I promise."
"I don't want to never see my son, Beck." Cat pushed. "I love him so much. I don't want him to see our friends and the babysitter more than he sees us."
"It'll be alright." Beck kissed her head. "We can do this."
Cat sighed. "Okay…I'll trust you on that."
HONK, HONK
"And that'd be Jade." Cat giggled as she grabbed her purse, heading out the bedroom door with Beck behind her. "Bye, guys." Cat said to Robbie and Andre. She saw her son in the bouncer next to Andre's feet, so she kneeled down. "I love you, my son." She kissed his head. He was asleep. "Keep these boys in line." She stood back up and waved to the boys once more before Beck walked her out. She was at the front door, waving at the girls. She turned back and gave Beck a kiss on the lips. "I'll be back soon, baby." She told him. "I love you."
Beck felt sick…he didn't want her to go…but she needed to. "I love you too…please be safe."
"I will." She pecked his lips once more before skipping to Jade's car.
Beck leaned against the doorway and waved to the girls –except Jade flipped him off instead- and he looked up at the sky. He prayed that his fiancée would be alright. He'd die without her.
…
Cat, Jade, and Tori had just left the dress shop…well, the 4th dress shop they've gone to. Fortunately, this last one was a keeper and they scheduled a fitting for the wedding dress Cat would be picking out. She couldn't decide on the spot, so they would be coming back tomorrow to model some. Cat picked out the bridesmaid dresses though…and they hate them…but Tori told Jade –more like begged- to let Cat have this time. It would only be one day anyways.
Cat was looking through the large catalog that the designer could make for Cat's dress…but Cat just couldn't decide. "I want the perfect one, but I don't know what that one is." She stated as she flipped the page once more. "I'm only going to have one wedding in my life, so this one has to be absolutely perfect and stunning!"
"And it will be." Tori reassured her from the backseat. She was behind Jade, who was driving, so she could talk to Cat and see her. "I promise. Jade promises too…right, Jade?" She said sternly.
"Vega, get the straw out of your fat ass." Jade grumbled.
"My ass isn't fat!"
"We've seen the size of your underwear." Jade smirked. "Trust me…your ass is huge."
Tori pouted. "Screw you."
"No thanks, I don't swing that way." Jade said bluntly. "Anyways, yes, Cat, everything will be fine. I am your maid of honor, so my job is to make sure you get everything you want…I just wish the colors weren't pale pink and white…" She shuddered. "I wish I wasn't going to be wearing a pink dress."
"I told you that you can have a black sash around the waist." Cat compromised.
Jade sighed. "I guess that will have to do." They stopped at a stoplight, about a mile away from Cat's house. "Oh, come on." Jade growled. "It's nine at night, so why the hell do the lights take so damn long?"
"They're timed." Tori said. "Patience is a virtue."
"And I'm going to kill you." Jade said in the same tone as Tori. "Whoa…"
"What?" Cat and Tori looked to where Jade was watching with wide eyes…turning towards their direction was a mustang…and it was swerving dangerously.
They all screamed and flinched.
CRASH
Jade groaned as she regained herself. "You guys fine?" She looked terrified when she saw the car slammed into the passenger side of her car… "Cat?"
Tori gasped from the backseat. "CAT!"
Jade reached over and checked for a pulse. "NO! CAT!"
…
Beck was pacing in the kitchen and Andre came in, worried. "Man, what the hell is wrong with you?" He asked, slamming his beer down on the counter. "You've been freaking us out since Cat left! And you've gotten worse in the past half an hour!"
Beck was shaking as he stopped pacing and looked to his best friend. "Andre…I've had this horrifying feeling in the pit of my stomach ever since Cat walked out that door."
"Then why didn't you stop her?" Andre growled. "You know you're feelings are always right!"
Ring…ring…
Beck looked at his phone…Tori's number…
He shakily answered it. "H-hello?"
"Beck…"
"What?" He dreaded the answer.
"I'm sorry, but…"
"Tori, just answer this: is Cat okay?" Beck asked in desperation.
"…no."
Random Fact about DA: I discovered today that I am a lightweight drinker…and at this current moment in time…I'm drunk and exhausted. It's my 21st birthday today, so I went a little crazy…ugh, I'm never drinking again. But I promise I didn't drink and drive! PROMISE! Anywhoo…time for bed! (I wrote this chapter earlier today, so that's good)
