Escaping Fame

Saving The Day

After the concert Beck and Tori got in his car to go back to their houses.

Tori was rambling on about how awesome the concert was while Beck was trying to get through the traffic of the parking lot. He noticed a lot of flashing cameras on his left and caught a glimpse of a bright red hair flip.

"Uh I think your girls are right on my left." Beck told Tori making her rambling cease. She quickly looked over.

"Oh my god! It's them!" She screamed excitedly.

Beck bit his lip when he saw Jade West trying to push past an annoying guy with a camera, then he made a decision and rolled down his window.

"Hey! Get in!" He shouted making Tori's jaw drop.

"What?! What are you doing?! They're famous!"

He sighed. "Yeah and they are being tormented. Get in! Come on!" He shouted again. He watched as Jade shoved past the guy with her hand locked in Cat's hand and grinned.

"Jade? Are you sure?" He heard Cat ask when Jade opened the back door .

"We have to get out of here somehow!" She yelled and slid in the backseat. Cat looked back at the flashing cameras then she nodded and jumped in the car.

The door shut and Beck drove off ignoring the lights flashing in his side mirror. Tori just turned around and stared.

"You guys okay?" Beck asked as he turned down a road just to lose the paparazzi behind him.

"Yeah. Thanks." Jade said.

"Don't you have any bodyguards?" He asked.

Jade crossed her arms and pulled down her hood. "We had two, but one quit tonight and the other can only hold back so many of those idiots."

Cat huffed. "Please don't start on me again."

Jade blew out a breath.

"Is it true that one of you is dating a bodyguard?" Tori asked making Jade groan. "Sorry, just a thing I saw in a magazine."

"It's okay. It was me, but we broke up and he quit." Cat stated then looked at Jade. "Which I apologized for three times tonight"

Jade sighed. "I know and I forgave you three times, but I'm still mad."

Cat pouted and took off her hood. "I don't even want to be famous anymore." She admitted.

Jade frowned and Beck could see the longing look in her eyes in his rearview mirror. "Me either, but we have to."

"No, you don't." Beck said.

Tori looked at him with wide unblinking eyes.

Suddenly Beck steps on the brakes haulting the car. "Well it's up to you guys. I can take a left and drop you back into Hollywood or take a right and you can ditch your fame." He stated.

Jade snapped her head to face front. "How?"

"We live in a small town on the outside of L.A. and if you want to you can come with us."

Jade scoffed. "And live where? If we use our money they'd find us."

Cat perked up when she heard the offer, but Jade's comment made her pout again. "Yep. They would."

"I have an RV in my parent's driveway that I live in. You could stay there and I could go back to my old room. Just until you find somewhere else. If you want to, it's up to you guys of course."

Cat turned to Jade and bit her lip. "Jade?"

Jade sighed. "I can't tell you what to do this time, Cat. You have to choose."

"But what do you think?"

"I think we have been famous since we were thirteen and now I am sixteen and I want to be a normal kid for awhile."

"I think I want to be a normal fifteen year old." She bit her lip. "At least for a while anyway."

Jade tapped Beck's arm. "Turn right and thanks."

Beck turned around and gave her a smile. "You are both welcome." Then he turned right down the road to go back home.

Tori grinned widely at the idea of her two favorite pop stars living right in her neighborhood.
