Ch. 12
Beck's POV
I get to school with Cat and feel guilty for leaving Tori behind in my trailer but what else was I supposed to do? She didn't give me a choice and the poor girl has already been hurt so deeply. Her body was invaded by a bastard and now the media has to invade her privacy. No wonder my angel wants to move to Canada as soon as graduation is over.
"Beck, are you coming to class?" Cat asks me; my thoughts are louder than her voice. "Yes Cat-sorry don't let me forget to ask Sicowitz…" "ASK ME WHAT!?" Sicowitz says while screaming in my ears and scaring the crap out of me.
"Well Sicowitz I am assuming you have heard about Tori on the news. And well she has a personal request for you. She was wondering if you could come tutor her after soon in my trailer. She doesn't want to finish senior year in this building. And with how hectic her life has been lately I can hardly blame the poor thing. So do you think you can tutor her after school until we graduate?" I asked out of desperation like a little child begging its mother for warm milk.
"Well sure Beck; but what about the play?" "Well…Sicowitz I can fill in for Tori. I am her under study and I have been rehearsing my lines at home with my brother. He was eating my script though." "Eating your script why would he eat the script?" I asked curiously. "Well he likes goats and read online that they eat everything so he figured he'd try it out." Wow Cat's family has problems, I am so glad Cat has become more intelligent in the last four years. I don't know how sweet Tori put up with her before she turned normal.
The rest of the school day went smoothly. I heard tons of people gossiping about my Tori and how getting raped was her fault. I wanted to slap them but for her sake I kept my mouth shut. I didn't want people to know that she lived with me or that I had any kind of emotional connection to her. We wanted to keep this relationship away from the school and away from the media if we could. But in this day and age our actions seem to be completely pointless.
I return home without Cat-and found Tori studying for her Advanced Improv class. "Tori how are you coping with everything?" "Not so well…I can't wait to move out of here. But Sicowitz is going to tutor me via Skype. So I have you to thank for that. He told me to practice improv with you one on one. He knows I am a pro at improv- but he wants me to become a master."
I turn the television on and the news is the first channel to appear on the screen. DAMN.
Andre and Andrew Harris are both in custody. It appears that Andre Harris did not know he had a twin brother. The two were separated at birth and have recently been reunited. "I didn't know he was my brother-I didn't know I had a brother." Claims Andre Harris, 18. But according to my sources Andrew knew of his brother's whereabouts for years and was forbidden to visit him. "I always knew who he was but I was never allowed to visit him or introduce myself. He was always good with the ladies but I was never like that." Some believe that Andrew Harris is the primary suspect in this ongoing case. Back to you, Tom.
"Shut it off Beck please?!" I obey her I am fed up with the poison that CNN spreads about her. Even if it is true; it's sick how they invade her privacy by making her life a soap opera. My girlfriend's story is almost as popular as NCIS-disgusting. I turn it off and decide to hold her in my arms today is not a good day. But at least she is safe and that is what's most important in my day.
