I Just Want You To Be Happy

Chapter 8

Tori:

I never visited Beck before and seeing he lived in a RV outside his parents home was a bit odd at first. But I guess something about it seems very like him.

Gently I knocked on the door. A womans voice answered me asking who's there. I smiled thinking it's Beck messing with me.

"I know it's you. Just open the door."

The door opened but I frowned seeing an old lady walking out of it. She had a few things for cleaning purposes with her.

Confused I looked after her but shrugged and turned to Beck who was now in front of me.

"Hey, Tori. Come in, let's talk."

"I have to mention it's kind of unusual for someone to live in a RV on their parents driveway. How did it come to that?"

"Well, my parents said if I live under their roof I have to live by their rules."

"Ah, your roof."

"My rules."

I chuckled at that and took it all in for a second. Beck grabbed an apple from a bowl as he gave me a look.

"So..."

"So, you're probably wondering why I'm here. Like, Hey Tori's here, whaddup wid dat?"

He looked at me a little irritated.

"That's how I talk?" He asked.

"No that's just my generic boy voice." I admitted,  not entirely sure if it was a bit embarrassing or not.

"Ah, I like it. Do more." Beck suggested while eating his apple.

"Okay let's see... Hey man, why don't you get back together with Jade? You know what I'm sayin'? Yeah." I put on the best version I could give.

But then I felt kind of nervous about his answer. I had to admit I kind of preferred them being not together. I still wasn't sure why I was feeling that way. I should actually hope for the best for Jade. But what if being with Beck wasn't the best for her? Nothing against Beck of course it's just...

"You think I should get back together with Jade? Honestly? I'm kind of happy about the break-up. We just weren't good."

For a second I was speechless. He really thought that? I had a feeling inside of me like I was experiencing something very happy. It was such a tingling feeling inside my belly.

"Even if she tried to be more nice or whatever. I kind of feel like this is the best for us. Also why doesn't she come to me herself? She acts so tough but doesn't have the courage to have a talk with me personally... I'm sorry my answer stays with no."

"I get it from your point and I'm not here to force you, Beck. Maybe Jade will accept that and get over it."

"Ah, I don't think she will give up that fast. But eventually she will have to I guess. Maybe you can help her get over it. I know she actually doesn't hate you."

"Me? I don't think I can do anything for her any longer now. But thanks anyways. I better get back to her and tell her the news. See you around."

"Yeah, come over anytime, Tori. See you in school though."

On the next day when I was putting some books inside my locker someone suddenly tapped my shoulder. It was Jade. I bit my lip.

"Hi Jade, good to see you." I greeted her nervously.

After the visit at Beck's I couldn't bring up the courage to bring her the bad news in fear of her reaction. Would she blame me for it?
